Qin Siyang suddenly rushed toward the Corrosive Black Centipede, his eyes locked onto every move of the gigantic god.
The Corrosive Black Centipede shrank back slightly, seemingly surprised.
But after a brief hesitation, it also lunged forward. Its massive body traced a black shadow in midair as it charged toward Qin Siyang.
A green mist seeped from the Corrosive Black Centipede's mouth.
Droplets of saliva dripped onto the ground, instantly releasing a cyan-colored smoke. The ground corroded, forming deep pits that emitted a strong stench.
Seeing the Corrosive Black Centipede coming straight at him, Qin Siyang immediately activated Banquet Domain, dodging rapidly to the side to avoid a direct attack.
Although he could now use the Ice Crystal Moth's skill, he still had to dodge the Corrosive Black Centipede's assault.
The information he had read earlier mentioned that extreme cold could make the Corrosive Black Centipede's exoskeleton brittle and slow its movements.
But it never said it could directly kill or paralyze the creature.
If Qin Siyang activated his skill without dodging in time, he might not even get the chance to finish off the Corrosive Black Centipede before meeting his own demise.
As the Corrosive Black Centipede relentlessly pursued him, Qin Siyang relied on his speed and teleportation abilities to evade continuously.
However, the centipede's attacks weren't limited to its corrosive mist. Its tail sting was also highly venomous. Even a light graze could end Qin Siyang's life.
Qin Siyang's nerves were on high alert as he kept an eye on both the centipede's head and tail, wary of being caught in a pincer attack.
That tail sting gleamed coldly, whistling through the air with every strike.
WHOOSH—
Another tail strike came. Qin Siyang swiftly ducked, narrowly avoiding it. The sting struck a massive boulder behind him, instantly turning it black before it shattered into fragments.
Stone debris scattered everywhere. Using this brief moment of cover, Qin Siyang suddenly leaped into the air.
Like an Ice Crystal Moth, he flapped his arms rapidly, summoning a fierce storm aimed directly at the Corrosive Black Centipede's forehead.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The storm condensed the moisture in the air into ice crystals, shimmering with a faint blue glow.
Seeing that the storm was about to engulf the Corrosive Black Centipede, Qin Siyang smirked.
As long as the centipede was hit by the storm, he had an eighty percent chance of slaying it.
Judging by the centipede's agility, it was impossible for it to dodge this storm.
However—
The Corrosive Black Centipede seemed prepared. Its massive body suddenly twisted rapidly, spinning like a black tornado in midair. In an instant, it completely evaded Qin Siyang's storm.
The freezing wind howled past, brushing against the centipede's body without inflicting any damage.
Qin Siyang's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the enormous creature.
'It actually dodged with such ghostly agility?'
'Why did it never show this level of responsiveness before?'
'This damn centipede. Is it hiding an ace up its sleeve?'
'It's practically a sentient monster!'
But there was no time for hesitation. The tail sting shot toward him like lightning once again.
Qin Siyang hurriedly activated Banquet Domain midair, barely avoiding the deadly thrust.
As he exchanged glances with the Corrosive Black Centipede from above, cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
That attack missed.
The next time he could unleash an Extreme Cold Storm would be in one minute.
However—
In one minute, his Banquet Domain would expire.
Without Banquet Domain, forget attacking. The odds of him even dodging the Corrosive Black Centipede's attacks were slim.
Qin Siyang let out a sigh.
Only by activating Violence, Banquet Domain, and God Mimicry simultaneously would he have a real chance at fighting the Corrosive Black Centipede.
Now that his attack had failed, he had two choices: wait another ten minutes or flee.
But waiting ten minutes? The Corrosive Black Centipede wouldn't give him that chance.
And escaping? He wasn't faster than the Corrosive Black Centipede.
It looked like he had walked straight into a dead end.
Qin Siyang clenched his fists in frustration.
He had already slain two of the three medium-tier gods. Was he really going to fall to the last one?
The Corrosive Black Centipede spat another cloud of green mist at him.
Qin Siyang dodged, blinking to the ground to avoid the attack.
The thick tail sting swept toward him again. He continued dodging with Banquet Domain.
The tail sting launched a barrage of attacks. Unlike the widespread corrosive mist, these stabs were easier to evade. But Qin Siyang didn't dare lower his guard.
He focused all his attention on tracking the tail's movements and his surroundings, careful not to teleport into falling debris that could disrupt his Banquet Domain.
After dodging more than ten times, Qin Siyang noticed something odd.
The Corrosive Black Centipede was now only using its tail—its head had stopped spitting mist.
Qin Siyang immediately glanced at its head.
The centipede's massive head was now pressed against the ground, constantly spewing green mist around itself as it pursued him. It no longer had the same aggressive momentum as before.
'It is… protecting its head?'
Qin Siyang's eyes widened.
'Did the storm from earlier graze its head?'
Realization dawned on him, and his spirits lifted.
'If it doesn't dare use its head, then that is my target.'
A few quick teleports later, Qin Siyang was right beside the Corrosive Black Centipede's head, momentarily locking eyes with its huge compound eyes.
The Corrosive Black Centipede didn't strike immediately. Instead, it spat another thick cloud of green mist, completely covering its head.
Qin Siyang teleported into the air, peering down at its head from above.
Even with the green mist concealing it, his high-tier vision allowed him to see every detail clearly.
He sharply noticed a pale patch on the top of its head.
Compared to the surrounding black exoskeleton, it looked like a drop of milk in black ink, spreading into a hazy gray.
Qin Siyang's heart leaped.
'So even though the Corrosive Black Centipede was fast, it couldn't completely avoided the storm.'
But then he noticed something else.
The edges of that pale patch were slowly shrinking.
In just a few dozen seconds, it would disappear completely.
Qin Siyang's mind raced.
'The effect of extreme cold is fading?'
'That means I have to attack immediately!'
But with its entire head wrapped in corrosive mist, he couldn't get close.
Even throwing a dagger was impossible. It would be corroded before reaching that pale spot.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
He couldn't use Extreme Cold Storm right now, it was on cooldown.
But the Corrosive Black Centipede didn't know that.
With that realization, Qin Siyang teleported above its head, dramatically swinging his arms, pretending to unleash another storm.
As expected, the Corrosive Black Centipede panicked.
It immediately rolled away, twisting its long body to escape his attack range.
But, just as the Corrosive Black Centipede thought it had dodged the storm, it suddenly realized. Qin Siyang's figure had vanished from the sky.
'What the hell?'
The Corrosive Black Centipede's eyes widened as it frantically searched for Qin Siyang's position.
