Chapter 992 Life is full of unexpected encounters
"Hehe, Lord Qin, what a coincidence!
Just as Qin Zhong was puzzled, accompanied by a soft laugh, the scattered water suddenly gathered together and transformed into a water giant that was ten meters tall.
"Damn, if I had known you, Major General You, were here, I wouldn't have bothered with this. But I didn't expect that you, Major General You, had been hiding your strength last time. It seems that the title of 'Water Dragon' is indeed well-deserved."
Upon seeing the familiar water giant, Qin Zhong recognized it as Major General You Keliang from the Chongqing Military Intelligence Department. It seemed that this fleet was likely a force of the Military Intelligence Department.
Otherwise, why would You Keliang be here? Moreover, judging from the power with which You Keliang blocked the full force of the Overlord's attack, his combat power this time was obviously much stronger than when he dealt with Mu Tou last time.
"You can't say that. This mutated octopus is incredibly resilient and has terrifying strength. Even I would have a hard time dealing with it."
The water giant shook his head and said, "As for the issue of combat power, hehe, since Lord Qin can go into the water without hesitation to help us fight the enemy, then I don't need to hide anything from you. My superpower is stronger in places with more water elements. Last time it was in a reservoir, and this time it is in the sea, so the power I exert is naturally different."
At this point, the water giant flicked his right hand, conjuring a long water blade, and said in a deep voice, "However, I don't think now is a good time for catching up. Let's deal with this big guy first, and then we can have a proper chat."
"Right on my mind!"
Qin nodded and turned his gaze to the mutated Tyrant Octopus. In just a few words, the Tyrant Octopus's head wounds had almost healed, except for a scorched mark on its head that could not be removed.
Those were scars left by the radiation within Qin Zhong's body. Even if the Overlord's recovery ability were astonishing, it would be impossible for it to fully recover so quickly.
"Then I'll go first!"
At this moment, it was naturally You Keliang who made the first move. The water giant twisted slightly, and its body seemed to glide through the air as it rushed quickly toward the direction of the Overlord.
Qin Zhong, not to be outdone, gently flapped his wings and rushed after him.
At the same time, Qin Chong waved his arms, his left hand transforming into a giant shield and his right hand into a long sword. This was his best mode for dealing with unknown and powerful enemies: the sword and shield defense mode.
"squeak!"
Seeing the water giant and Qin Zhong charging towards it, the mutated Overlord Octopus let out a deafening roar, wielding its eight enormous tentacles. Six of them attacked the water giant that You Keliang had transformed into, while the other two lashed out towards Qin Zhong.
It seems that this terrifying behemoth still considers You Keliang to be the greatest threat.
"puff!"
With a few muffled thuds, the giant tentacles of the Tyrant Octopus slammed heavily into the water giant that You Keliang had transformed into, causing the blue giant to splash water everywhere and its body structure to become somewhat unstable.
However, You Keliang was not lying; his combat power in the sea was extremely formidable.
Even after suffering such a heavy blow, the water giant only swayed slightly before absorbing the surrounding water elements back into its body and using the recovered portion of its body to lock the giant tentacles of the Tyrant Octopus inside.
……
"Boom... Swish!"
On the other side, Qin Zhong was also attacked by the Overlord's Seal. Unlike last time, this time Qin Zhong did not dodge, but decided to withstand the attack in the water.
Then, with a roar and a soft sound, one of the tentacles of the Overlord slammed heavily into the giant shield in Qin Chong's left hand, knocking his body off balance and sending him flying away like an underwater cannonball.
However, at the same time, Qin Zhong's right hand, wielding a massive blade over three meters long and one meter wide, as large as a door panel, clashed fiercely with another tentacle of the Overlord Octopus.
With a soft sound, Qin Zhong's giant blade, adorned with blood-like red patterns, slashed into the tip of the Tyrant Octopus's tentacles, severing the giant tentacle, which was one or two meters in diameter.
The next moment, large amounts of blue blood began to spread in the water...
"squeak!"
The tentacles of the Tyrant Octopus were exceptionally sensitive. The pain of having its tentacles severed was even greater than the pain of Qin Zhong's direct stab to the head.
After the tentacles were severed, the Tyrant Octopus emitted a piercing shriek that was almost sonic, causing Qin Zhong's ears to ache.
At the same time, the front part of the Overlord's severed hand suddenly tightened, turning into a tumor-like wound.
The pale blue, transparent blood that had been continuously flowing from the wound gradually decreased, eventually turning into a few streaks that would seep out only when the Tyrant Octopus swung its tentacles.
Furthermore, the top of the tumor-like wound began to wriggle continuously, and tiny, living granulation tissues began to twist and proliferate like maggots.
It looks like it won't be long before Tyrant's severed hand grows back.
"Damn, octopus creatures have incredible control over their wounds, and their regenerative abilities are terrifying. Ordinary octopuses can grow their tentacles back in a day, let alone this big guy!"
After calming his surging blood, Qin Zhong roared with a grave expression, "The damage we inflict on it must exceed its regeneration rate, otherwise we're essentially fighting an immortal enemy. You Keliang, you lock it down, I'll take its life!"
With that, Qin Chong flapped his wings forcefully, displacing a large amount of water, and like a swordfish in the water, he quickly rushed towards the Overlord Zhang.
Since his metal-mimicking superpower mutated due to absorbing nuclear radiation energy, Qin Zhong's defense and attack power have greatly increased.
Qin Zhong was confident that as long as You Keliang could lock down the tentacles of the mutated Overlord, he would be able to take its life before it recovered!
"Okay! Watch me!"
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, You Keliang simply agreed and quickly absorbed a large amount of water element into his body.
As water elements were continuously poured in, the water giant that You Keliang had transformed into became more and more solid, and the power to lock the tentacles also grew stronger.
"squeak!"
Seemingly sensing that something was wrong, the Tyrant Octopus roared and began to struggle frantically.
At the same time, the tentacle that was not restrained and was still free suddenly began to turn red, and the barbs on the tentacle stood up and grew drastically, like a giant spiked club, breaking through the water and smashing down on Qin Zhong.
"Since I can use air to create a void slash, I can also use water to create the same effect!"
Seeing the octopus tentacles coming at him, Qin Zhong gritted his teeth, then swung his right arm and stood upright on the water in front of him.
Instantly, the water in front of Qin Zhong condensed into a solid wave, like a crescent moon, under the immense force of Qin Zhong's sword strike, and swiftly struck the tentacles of the Overlord Octopus.
At the same time, the wings behind Qin Zhong exerted force again, propelling him rapidly closer and closer to the Overlord Chapter.
