Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2138 - 2127: Deep Sea Giant Octopus

If Vivian had hesitated for a second earlier, she might have been struck by the water column by now.The missed water column hit the sea surface, instantly creating two loud explosions, followed by a torrential splash that resembled a sudden downpour.

At the same time, several thick tentacles shot out from the sea with lightning speed, sweeping toward Vivian.

Compared to the previous water column, there are now eight tentacles in total.

These tentacles, despite their large size, showed no signs of sluggishness, deftly twisting in mid-air, aiming to crush Vivian.

Due to dodging the water column, she had missed the best chance to escape.

The tentacles were incredibly long, even taller than the previous water column, and moved extremely fast.

In the relentless onslaught like a storm, Vivian carefully avoided the attacks,

though her dragon-form defense might have kept her unharmed in this assault, she dared not take them head-on.

If struck by even a single tentacle, the rest would rapidly entangle her.

If dragged into the ocean, that would be even more troublesome.

The eight tentacles seemed like a vast net, under their siege, the space for Vivian to maneuver was dwindling.

Unable to attack, she could only defend passively. It wouldn't take long before these tentacles ensnared her.

Witnessing this, Ning Fan activated the Light of Life, maximally unleashing the Holy Force Slash.

The crescent-shaped Light Blade flickered and vanished, as blood splattered from the tentacles, a sinking feeling clung to Ning Fan's heart.

The defensive power of these tentacles was unexpectedly formidable.

The sword's most potent light only carved a long gash, without severing the tentacle.

Since acquiring the holy sword, Ning Fan had never encountered such a predicament.

This was Ning Fan's greatest drawback currently; while the Light of Life had numerous wonders, it lacked direct offensive means.

Either it's attached to fists and feet to enhance their destructive power,

or like now, converting into Holy Power through the holy sword, using energy attacks like Holy Force Slash.

Looking at the tentacles' length, one could imagine the size of this sea beast; Ning Fan would be insane to face it bare-handed.

"If it can be injured, then it's manageable. Once isn't enough, twice will do."

Ning Fan's pupils contracted as he fixated on the wound,

The holy sword glimmered, sending the crescent beam speeding toward the tentacle's wound.

Once, twice, thrice…

Aiming at the tentacle's wound, after five continuous attacks, Ning Fan finally achieved the desired effect.

The tentacle split into two from the middle, a ton of blood spilled onto the sea, staining the area blood-red.

The tentacle's rupture seemed to enrage the sea beast, and the remaining seven tentacles lashed even more furiously.

But with the disappearance of one tentacle, the pressure on Vivian suddenly reduced.

"Die already."

A dark red column of fire surged towards the sea.

From the Dark Dragon's innate Dragon Flame, whose fire cannot be extinguished by seawater.

Upon contact with the sea surface, it instantly burned a large hole, where tons of steam billowed around.

The surrounding tidal waves rushed into the opening instantly, yet couldn't fill it as fast as it evaporated.

Endless Dragon Flame expanded the "hole" ever larger.

Only then did Ning Fan clearly see the true form of the sea beast—a supergiant octopus.

Besides the staggering size, the octopus seemed not fleshy, unlike typical soft-bodied animals.

Except for its tentacles, the skin of other parts gleamed with metallic sheen, resembling machine fabrication.

What caught Ning Fan's attention the most was the sea beast's enormous mouth.

Unlike the ones on Earth, positioned beneath the tentacles,

This octopus-like sea beast had a colossal mouth of about ten meters in diameter beneath its eyes.

The mouth was circular, lined with razor-sharp teeth within the oral cavity.

The dense array of teeth made one feel disgusted yet cold at heart.

If dragged into the water by a tentacle, given the octopus's inherent suppleness, its giant mouth might swallow Vivian whole.

Not discussing the octopus's biting capacity, Ning Fan and Vivian surely didn't want to become its meal.

"Let's see if your head is really that hard."

A dazzling sword light flashed past, leaving a white mark on the octopus's head; despite his forewarning, seeing this scene left Ning Fan dismayed.

The tentacles had astounding defense, and the metallic sheen of the head hinted its hardness.

With a failed strike, Ning Fan urgently inquired, "Besides Dragon Flame, is there any other means?"

"Then only Forbidden Spell remains."

As these words fell, the tornado-like Dragon Flame vanished suddenly.

In the span of a single sentence, the massive sea surface hole was filled by the rushing torrents.

The octopus vanished from their sight, leaving only eight tentacles relentlessly attacking.

Ning Fan felt no guilt for putting his teammate in that predicament.

With Vivian's strength, she was far from achieving true Divine Skills to scorch rivers and seas.

No matter how powerful the Dragon Flame, when fighting in the ocean, it is innately restricted.

Moreover, during the burning earlier, besides evaporating lots of seawater, the octopus wasn't truly attacked.

According to Ning Fan's guess, even if they landed a blow on the octopus's body, it might be akin to scratching an itch.

"Damn it! Is there no justice?"

Just then, Ning Fan exclaimed, noticing the tentacle he had severed earlier had regrown.

To continue fighting seemed a path to certain doom.

Ning Fan quickly shouted, "Vivian, prepare to revert to human form, we need to break out!"

Though Vivian's dragon form wasn't as large as the octopus, it was still quite prominent.

If she transformed into human form, her physique would be more agile and easier to dodge the tentacles' crushing attacks.

"But I can't fly in human form."

If he had the chance, Ning Fan would teach her a lesson; clenching his teeth, he retorted, "Do you think I would abandon you?"

Seeing Vivian remain silent, Ning Fan continued, "When the tentacles attack, I'll buy you time."

"I understand."

"Would be great to have a blade in hand."

Gazing at the holy sword's long, slender body, Ning Fan had no choice but to wield it as a large blade.

Ning Fan focused his gaze, took a deep breath, adopting a double-handed sword grip.

Ning Fan's arms moved, swinging faster and faster, until only a blurred afterimage could be seen.

One slice, two slices, three slices…

Countless sword lights, resembling snowflakes, fell immortally like floral rain, carrying a poignant beauty, scattering everywhere.

In less than a second, the eight tentacles struck, pulverizing the falling rain of petals.

Under the tentacles' onslaught, the outermost sword lights vanished.

Yet as they disappeared, innumerable new sword lights emerged.
