I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 100: Escape from Death

In Zhang Yuan’s sight, there were countless blood vines dancing in the air.

These vine tendrils, like long whips, lashed through the air with astonishing speed and power, their whistling sound continuous.

They covered every inch of space around him, forming a terrifying net from which there was no escape.

They charged relentlessly against Zhang Yuan’s defense.

As it is said, a prolonged defense is bound to fail.

If even the slightest flaw appeared in Zhang Yuan’s defense, the blood vines would seize the opportunity to break through!

His situation was extremely disadvantageous.

Yet, amidst such peril, Zhang Yuan felt no fear.

With the extraordinary abilities of the Jade Mantis enhancing his advanced sword mastery, he entered a profound and mysterious state.

In an instant, the speed of the blood vines surrounding him seemed to slow down.

It was as if a slow-motion button had been pressed.

But this slowing phenomenon was not real, rather Zhang Yuan’s thought process had suddenly accelerated.

In his mind, the whole space around him entered a slow-motion state.

Zhang Yuan could clearly sense the position of every blood vine in the space as well as their trajectories!

Then he struck with his saber.

One cut, two cuts, ten cuts, a hundred cuts!

Within a single breath, a blink of an eye, the snap of a finger, Zhang Yuan wielded his saber over a hundred times.

Each strike flawlessly severed a blood vine.

He cut and broke them open!

Within the net woven by the blood vines, he forcefully opened a large gap.

The next moment, Zhang Yuan charged through.

He swung his saber once more.

This stroke gathered all his strength, its speed was beyond belief, shattering through the air without a sound, leaving only a burst of light.

With the force of a thousand pounds, he struck down on a vine root clinging to the ship’s bulkhead!

Crack!

The sharpness of the three hundred-forged long blade, combined with thousands of pounds of strength and the support of advanced sword mastery.

The vine root, as thick as an arm and as tough as gold and iron, broke on impact.

The severed part spurted out a large amount of dark red sap!

Simultaneously, the blood vines filling the entire cabin suddenly seemed to lose their support.

With a series of crackling sounds, they all fell from the air.

Zhang Yuan had just severed the main root of the blood vines, without a doubt!

Ah~

At that moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly heard a scream as if coming from the depths of hell.

Although the sound was not loud, it instantly pierced through his eardrums, stabbing deeply into his head.

Zhang Yuan’s face instantly flushed bright red, veins bulging on his forehead.

He felt as if a burning steel needle had been thrust into his brain.

The pain was unbearable!

"Break!"

Zhang Yuan shouted angrily, once again spitting out essence blood.

Half of it landed on his Yanling Saber, half on the severed blood vine root.

This was the third time Zhang Yuan had activated the Blood Burning Technique since being drawn onto the deceitful ship.

The Blood Burning Technique is a special magic technique martial artists use to manipulate their Qi and Blood, specifically to restrain eeriness.

Because a person’s essence blood is extremely precious, this technique cannot be used more than three times consecutively, or it will deplete one’s essence, severely harming the martial arts foundation.

If he had any other choice, Zhang Yuan would not be so desperate.

But the essence blood on the Yanling Saber was almost exhausted.

And before his eyes, the severed root was sprouting new branches with astonishing speed.

But when Zhang Yuan’s half-mouthful of essence blood sprayed on it, it was like dousing it with boiling water; the newly sprouted shoots instantly wilted, and began to rot violently.

Zhang Yuan struck it again with his saber.

Just like splitting firewood, he chopped the exposed vine root on the deck into two.

Still unsatisfied, Zhang Yuan thrust his Yanling Saber deeply into the severed part.

Squish!

The tip of the blade pierced a large sack, the sap inside burst out, blasting the surrounding deck to pieces!

Revealing a large pitch-black hole.

Immediately, a message appeared in Zhang Yuan’s vision.

However, his attention was entirely absorbed by the hole before him.

Because Zhang Yuan heard the sound of water.

To be precise, it was the sound of water crashing against the hull, wave after relentless wave.

And he also saw the shimmering light of rippling water.

Though very faint.

It was so striking in Zhang Yuan’s eyes—he had broken through the bottom of the deceitful ship!

However, some strange force within the ship prevented the river from flooding in, avoiding a gushing eruption.

Under Zhang Yuan’s gaze, numerous dark red "buds" began to emerge around the breach in the ship’s bottom, rapidly closing the gap.

In no time, it would likely be restored to its original state!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan hesitated no longer, jumping into the hole.

This move was extremely risky.

Because Zhang Yuan had no idea what lay beneath, or what might await him.

He made this decision entirely on instinct.

In truth, Zhang Yuan had no other choice.

He could only take a gamble!

Continuously empowering himself with the Black Giant Ant, Jade Mantis, and Golden Grasshopper’s extraordinary abilities, while having used the Blood Burning Technique three times, Zhang Yuan’s Qi and Blood Value was nearing the danger zone.

He doubted he had enough time to break through the cabin walls and find another way out.

This was the only choice!

The next moment, Zhang Yuan was fully submerged in the icy river water.

However, instead of panicking, he felt incredibly exhilarated!

This was the joy of escaping from certain death!

Without hesitation, Zhang Yuan severed his connection with the three Hosts, using the remaining Qi and Blood to activate the fourth Host, White Dragon Loach, enhancing himself with advanced water mastery.

The familiar sensation suddenly returned to him.

Kicking his legs back, Zhang Yuan dove through the water like an arrow from a bowstring.

Above him was the massive bottom of the deceitful ship.

As if enraged by Zhang Yuan’s escape, countless black tentacles suddenly sprouted from the ship’s bottom.

They launched a frenzied pursuit of Zhang Yuan!

Yet at that moment, Zhang Yuan was like a fish in the sea, quickly distancing himself from the deceitful ship.

Leaving the pursuing eerie tentacles far behind.

After swimming for some distance, Zhang Yuan surfaced near the riverbank.

Splash!

He broke through the water, reaching for the grasses growing on the bank, using them to pull himself ashore.

By then, Zhang Yuan was almost out of strength.

He lay in the mud at the riverbank’s edge, gazing up at the blue sky and floating white clouds.

Feeling that life was so wonderful!

If there was even the slightest delay, just a tiny bit more time.

Had Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment longer, without being so decisive, the breach in the ship’s bottom would have shrunk until it was impossible to fit through.

He would have lost his only chance of escape.

How much longer could he have lasted within the deceitful ship?

His Qi and Blood were about to be exhausted!

After regaining some strength, Zhang Yuan struggled to his feet.

He once again saw the deceitful ship lying across the center of the Celestial Horse River.

Still imposing and unmoving!
