I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 234: Slaying the Eel

Basic Water Profound Communication, tenfold strength plus tenfold agility, Zhang Yuan, clad in Dragon Carp Armor, could burst out with a speed in the water that was beyond imagination.

In an instant, he closed in on his target, with his right hand already gripping the freshly drawn Broken Blade Dagger.

Like lightning, he stabbed at the thick as a sea bowl giant eel!

Spurt!

The giant eel’s body was covered with a thick layer of mucus.

This mucus not only significantly increased its speed in water stealth and ambush but also served as excellent defense.

If the giant eel fought against a giant crab, the latter’s pincers that could snap gold and iron would just slide off.

It directly slipped away.

However, Zhang Yuan’s strike, powerful as ten thousand jun, pierced through the protective layer on the giant eel’s body and then penetrated its tough outer skin, deep into its flesh.

A gush of crimson blood spurted out instantly.

In pain, the giant eel suddenly twisted its head, opening its bloody mouth to bite Zhang Yuan.

But having succeeded with one strike, Zhang Yuan immediately darted forward.

Barely avoiding the opponent’s counterattack.

The giant eel, at a loss, furiously chased, its eyes as large as dragon eyes flashed with scarlet light, filled with malice and resentment.

The wound that had just been pierced by the dagger had already contracted and closed, healing more than half in a blink.

Its self-healing ability was astonishing!

Facing such a tricky opponent, another Tier Four Martial Artist would probably have no choice but to retreat.

After all, underwater was the enemy’s home ground.

But the deep lake water, for Zhang Yuan, was more comfortable than air.

He easily shook off the giant eel’s pursuit and then repeated his tactics, striking it again.

The two sides launched into continuous entanglement underwater!

Zhang Yuan’s tactics were actually very simple, utilizing his high-speed maneuverability in water to make the wrathful giant eel spin in circles, while opportunistically stabbing it.

Drain the giant eel’s blood!

He didn’t pursue a swift victory.

But instead, patiently weakened the opponent’s life force bit by bit.

In such a situation.

Zhang Yuan did not use his strongest weapon—the Red Blood Saber, and there was a reason for that.

Ever since he comprehended the first mural of the Meditation Divine Weapon Cave Collection, and understood the Divine Treasure Technique, his knowledge and control of the Red Blood Saber deepened significantly.

Zhang Yuan thus realized that he had tremendous issues with how he was using the divine weapon.

Especially the first time he used the Red Blood Saber, he paid a price without realizing it.

Back then, the Red Blood Saber had devoured a large amount of his essence and blood.

On the surface, it seemed fine, as the lost Qi Blood fully recovered after a few days.

But in reality, if Zhang Yuan did this once or twice more, it would inevitably harm his root bone source, ruining his Martial Arts future!

And when Zhang Yuan used the Red Blood Saber for the second time.

Although the divine weapon did not absorb his essence and blood again, it still posed a significant hidden danger!

The Red Blood Saber was, of course, extremely sharp.

But with Zhang Yuan unable to control its power yet frequently using it.

If he developed a habit, he would inevitably become a puppet slave to the divine weapon.

A mere tool completely dependent on the Red Blood Saber!

The Red Blood Saber, called a divine weapon, actually contained demonic and bizarre traits.

And the Divine Treasure Technique could avoid these issues, or rather, the occurrence of negative effects.

The Divine Treasure Technique was more like a means of equitable exchange between Zhang Yuan and the Red Blood Saber, nurturing the divine weapon with his own essence Qi in exchange for the opportunity to wield it.

It’s just that, given Zhang Yuan’s current cultivation realm, this skill had a long cooldown time.

He had just used it a few days ago!

Most importantly, Zhang Yuan didn’t want to develop the habit of relying on the Red Blood Saber to quickly resolve enemies.

In the future, he would only regard this divine weapon as his final trump card.

Unless he was on the brink of danger, he would not lightly use it!

In comparison, although the power of the Broken Blade Dagger is far inferior to the Red Blood Saber, it is a weapon Zhang Yuan can fully control.

With innate true qi infused in this dagger, it repeatedly sliced through the giant eel’s skin and flesh, adding countless wounds, big and small.

Causing it to continually lose precious blood!

The giant eel’s self-healing ability was indeed strong, but its life energy was not infinite. As its blood loss rate far exceeded its recovery, its dodging and counterattacking speed and strength immediately began to decline.

This, in turn, gave Zhang Yuan more opportunities to attack!

After a fierce entanglement, the giant eel gained not the slightest advantage, its body already riddled with scars.

Many of the wounds on it were noticeably healing slower!

The giant eel was not without intelligence, and soon realized the situation was dire, so it suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed a gob of dark green fluid at Zhang Yuan.

Then, twisting, it dove to escape towards the bottom of the lake!

And Zhang Yuan, despite having the upper hand, remained extremely vigilant.

Seeing the large mass of ink coming straight at him, he immediately dove sharply to avoid getting stained even the slightest.

Zhang Yuan suspected the stuff sprayed by the giant eel contained strong poison!

Although he was deeply apprehensive.

Seeing the prey trying to escape under his nose, how could he possibly agree!

Zhang Yuan unhesitatingly launched a pursuit.

The giant eel’s speed wasn’t a match for Zhang Yuan’s and was caught up in the blink of an eye, receiving a dagger blow to its tail.

It furiously twisted its body and sprayed another two mouthfuls of ink, then fled towards the bottom of the lake with all its might!

Zhang Yuan quickly widened the distance between him and the giant eel, to avoid being contaminated by the rapidly spreading poison in the water.

He leisurely circled around, cutting off the giant eel again from below.

With the Broken Blade Dagger in his hand, he ruthlessly inflicted bloody wounds on its body.

The giant eel was almost driven mad.

It desperately sprayed poison again and again, but the released ink became smaller with each spurt.

And the color shifted from deep to shallow.

Meanwhile, the giant eel also tried to use its tail to lash at Zhang Yuan.

But neither its poison sprays nor tail lashes could do anything to the extremely fast Zhang Yuan, nor could they stop his relentless harm!

When the giant eel submerged to barely a few dozen feet from its cave.

Its speed had declined to less than half of what it was, and its long body was covered in countless wounds, most of them still oozing crimson blood.

At this point, all the giant eel’s rage and malice had turned into despair and pain.

Its strength diminished with the massive blood loss, the life spark in its eyes slowly dimmed.

Even its struggles weakened.

The dark hole at the edge of the ancient city ruins at the lake bottom lay ahead, but this giant eel could no longer dive further.

It had already bled its last drop of blood.

It slowly ceased its movements.

Yet Zhang Yuan did not relax, stabbing its head again with the dagger.

The giant eel jerked several times, then floated in the water, its long body stiffening.

Zhang Yuan repeatedly pierced it with the dagger to make sure that this fellow was genuinely dead!

And just then, the previously scattered White Dragon Loaches reappeared out of nowhere.

They quickly gathered around Zhang Yuan, who had just won the victory, as if cheering and celebrating for him!

Zhang Yuan was both crying and laughing, pointing at the giant eel’s corpse in front.
