Chapter 263 Deep Sea Battle
Song Chen slashed back with his sword.
No matter how dense the barbs on the Abyss Python King's scales are, they always have a base.
The root is soft tissue covered with a thin membrane.
The blade of the Heavenly Blade cut into the gap between the two rows of barbs, and the golden-purple blade energy flowed in along the muscle texture.
The python king's side abdomen was cut open with a 70-meter-long incision, deep enough to expose the bone.
It let out a piercing screech, and its massive body rolled backward.
It hurt, but it wasn't a fatal wound. A 70-meter cut was equivalent to a human being being slashed through the skin for a 1,200-meter-long abyssal python.
Song Chen was already on top of the giant squid's head the instant it rolled over.
The giant squid's reaction is a superpower; its suckers open simultaneously, spraying out thick black ink.
This is no ordinary ink; it contains a high concentration of psionic toxins that can paralyze the nerves of a sixth-level martial artist within thirty seconds.
The ink spread across the seabed, forming a black sphere three hundred meters in diameter that engulfed Song Chen.
"Poison?" Song Chen's voice came from the ink.
"That trick won't work on me."
Lightning exploded.
Heavenly lightning erupted from the seabed, and golden-purple arcs of electricity radiated outwards from Song Chen.
Seawater is a good conductor, but in the deep sea under absolute high pressure, the propagation of an electric arc is completely different from that on the sea surface.
The high pressure of the seawater compressed the electric arc into tens of thousands of thin and dense lightning rods, each only as thick as a hair, but with a psionic energy density high enough to pierce the scales of a sixth-order alien beast.
The giant squid's ten tentacles were simultaneously pierced by lightning rods.
The nerve bundle inside the tentacle was burned off by the electric arc, and it let out a high-pitched scream. The tentacle convulsed uncontrollably, and the bone spurs in the suckers crackled and fell off.
The two giant whales launched an attack simultaneously.
The whale tribe's tactics are simple and direct: charge.
They are the largest of all sea creatures. The two sixth-order giant whales together are over three thousand meters long, like two moving underwater mountains pressing down at the same time.
The water pressure generated by the impact was enough to crush steel into foil, and the rocks on both sides of the trench were crushed by the water pressure, with large chunks of basalt peeling off the cliff walls.
Song Chen did not respond directly.
Fuyao passed through the gap between the two giant whales.
The two giant whales were less than 100 meters apart, which is practically zero distance for a behemoth that is 1,500 meters long.
But Song Chen's body changed direction continuously in the gaps of water pressure. His master-level soaring ability allowed him to perceive the water flow at a microscopic level. He slid past the skin of the first giant whale and emerged from under its pectoral fin.
Using the water stirred up by the tail fin of the second giant whale to accelerate, he was like a stone launched by a slingshot, rushing straight towards the Abyss Python King.
That's his real goal.
The blade struck his eye socket.
The eyes of the abyssal python have degenerated, but the eye sockets are seams of bone plates.
The Heavenly Blade pierced through the bone crevices, its blade energy pouring into the skull cavity.
The seventh strike of the Heavenly Thunder Seven Slashes exploded inside the python's skull with crimson-gold blade energy.
The Abyss Python King's massive body suddenly stiffened, and then began to sink.
Its nervous system was shredded by the blade's energy, and its massive body continued to twitch unconsciously as it sank.

At this moment, Cangyuan moved. The sea dragon race is not good at speed, but underwater, it does not need speed.
Cangyuan raised his right forelimb, the webbed toes opening, and spiritual energy surged forth.
The water flow throughout the entire trench began to rotate under its control; this was a high-pressure vortex with psionic cutting power.
The vortex, with a diameter of two thousand meters, swept up Song Chen and the remaining three beast kings.
The water flow at the edge of the vortex exceeded 800 meters per second, and the water pressure was high enough to tear the alloy to pieces.
The basalt cliffs on both sides of the trench were sheared away layer by layer by the whirlpools, and the rocks were turned into high-speed shrapnel in the eddies.
"Human, you've chosen the wrong battlefield to fight the sea dragons in the deep sea."
The sound of the abyss echoed in the vortex.
Song Chen was caught in the vortex. Just now, when he killed the Abyss Python King, Cang Yuan's vortex completed its charging at that very moment, the timing was extremely precise.
This sea dragon was smarter than he had imagined.
The water pressure from the vortex pressed in from all directions. The psionic patterns on the surface of the Northern Darkness Armor lit up, and the armor's defensive force field automatically activated, forming a thin psionic barrier between the water pressure and the armor's surface.
The water pressure was reduced by 90%, leaving just enough to make Song Chen feel pressure but not affect his movements.
He didn't rush to break free; his Eye of Truth remained effective even in the high-speed vortex, locking onto the positions of the three beast kings.
The two giant whales maintained their balance in the whirlpool; their size and weight allowed them to resist the vortex's suction.
The giant squid was tossed about by the whirlpool, its tentacles not yet fully recovered, and its control was greatly reduced.
Song Chen released his body and drifted along the whirlpool for a while, using the water flow to accelerate to its limit, and then escaped the moment the centrifugal force of the whirlpool reached its maximum.
The Heavenly Blade slashed towards the head of the giant squid.
The head of the giant squid is the weak point of all squid-like creatures. It is covered with a cartilaginous shell and contains the main nerve ganglion inside.
Song Chen's knife precisely cut into the seam of the cartilage shell, a thin gray-white line marked by the Eye of Truth, less than half a millimeter wide.
The blade pierced through, and the blade's energy spread along the ganglion, shattering the main ganglion into fragments.
The giant squid's ten tentacles straightened simultaneously, then went completely limp.
Its body began to float to the surface; it had died.

Without pausing, Song Chen turned back underwater and charged towards the first giant whale.
The whale race is enormous and has a single attack method, but this also means they are extremely durable.
The skin of a sixth-order giant whale is over twenty meters thick, its muscle layer is fifty meters deep, and its heart is protected deep inside its body by layers of protection.
A direct, head-on strike is unlikely to be fatal, even with the Heavenly Blade.
Song Chen chose a different path.
He moved at high speed close to the giant whale's skin, his Eye of Insight scanning the entire meridian system within the whale's body.
The psionic energy pathways of the whale race extend beneath the skin, with each main meridian leading to the heart.
The thickest of these ribs begins at the base of the whale's left pectoral fin, runs upwards along the side of the abdomen, passes between the third and fourth ribs, and reaches the heart.
Song Chen made the incision along the path of this meridian.
The blade sliced along the meridians, pouring in the blade's energy, which flowed upstream along the meridians, severing the spiritual energy pathways one by one.
The giant whale let out a painful roar, its massive body churning in the water.
Song Chen didn't give it a chance to retaliate, and Fuyao kept it under the belly of the giant whale, a blind spot that the giant whale couldn't attack.
The blade's energy blasted along the meridians all the way to the heart.
The whale rolled one last time, then stopped.

Song Chen emerged from under the giant whale's belly and shook the blood off his knife.
He glanced at the remaining giant whale and Cangyuan, who stood with their swords drawn in the sea.
"It's your turn, you two."
