Upgrade Specialist in Another World-Chapter 1335: The Death of the Abyssal Snake
Xiao Qi was able to narrowly avoid his right wing from being bitten on again, but the same wasn’t true for his left!
“Crunch!!”
A malicious sense of satisfaction rose in the Abyssal Snake Saint’s eyes. Now that both the wings were effectively dealt with, all that was left to do was play with his prey…
“Tzk!!”
A sharp pain interrupted the Abyssal Snake Saint’s delusions for a moment. Snapping his head down, he realized something was drilling into his ‘chest’!!
“Roar!!!”
Feeling as though his heart was being plunged into ice, the Abyssal Snake Saint let out a cry of pain before beating a hasty retreat.
“Crack…”
The first thing the Abyssal Snake Saint heard was his scales begin to crack. Looking down at his ‘chest’, he noted with alarm that something was missing from his body…
Alarmed, the Abyssal Snake Saint snapped his head to where Xiao Qi had fallen. Resting on the top of his golden claws was a chunk of…flesh! He looked back down at his chest to see a ‘cavity’ in it. Dark liquid was already spilling from the wound and leaking down his body…
That was when the truth hit the Abyssal Snake Saint. His scales had been penetrated by Xiao Qi’s claws! And even worse—Xiao Qi’s claws were sharp enough to dig out part of his flesh!!
“Impossible!!”
His mind went blank for a moment before he let out a shrill cry of terror. Turning tail, the Abyssal Snake Saint began to flee for his life!
But already a sharp pain was starting to build up in his body. A furious energy was wrecking havoc throughout his internal organs!
Xiao Qi’s claw strike wasn’t meant to simply injure the skin and flesh. Contained in the claws had been a burst of elemental energy intended to tear apart his body from the inside!
He had been under the assumption this entire time that his scales would be tough enough to fend off any attack from Xiao Qi. But instead of being safe, the Abyssal Snake Saint was dealt a serious blow!!
His assumption would’ve been right if Xiao Qi was only using the weapons he was born with. However, what Xiao Qi used to break apart the Abyssal Snake Saint’s claws wasn’t just his claws, but a pair of soul armaments that were far more powerful than the Abyssal Snake Saint realized!

It was only because of the +12 additional effects of the Golden Crow Claws that Xiao Qi was able to deliver an unbelievably strong attack!
First, Xiao Qi used the right claw to strike at the Abyssal Snake Saint’s ‘torso’. Then he applied the first equipment effect, and then the second, to increase its attack. Then, by applying the +12 additional effect, Xiao Qi was able to double the attack power. Using the left claw’s equipment and additional effects to further bolster the attack was the last thing Xiao Qi needed to do to tear apart the Abyssal Snake Saint’s scales!
It was hard to imagine the total power of the claws after all those multipliers. The Abyssal Snake Saint’s scales didn’t stand a chance. With an attack like that, not even the Triumphant Flame would be able to endure it!
And because of the powerful effects of the Golden Crow Claws, Xiao Qi was able to send a destructive force into his body!!
……
It was all a part of Xiao Qi’s plan. It was important to pull this off even if it meant sacrificing the mobility of his wings!
And now it was time to capitalize on the moment when his opponent was injured! The +12 additional effect of the left claw had a duration of 10 second, so it was time to make the most of that to secure the victory!
“Chirp!!”
Enduring the pain, Xiao Qi extended his wings wide to summon the wind to him. They gathered around to form a giant tornado before Xiao Qi shot it at the retreating Abyssal Snake Saint!
“You can screw off!!”
The Abyssal Snake Saint heard what Xiao Qi said while he was in the middle of trying to dispel the foreign energy in him. Crying out loud, he swung his tail in front of him in hopes of defending himself!
It was a move that was half-baked at best. With his body in the pain it was in, the Abyssal Snake Saint wasn’t able to muster up all his strength. The tail barely missed Xiao Qi when he glided past it, allowing his right claw to scrape across the scales of it before eventually shearing through it to open up a deep cut in his body!
The Abyssal Snake Saint shrieked again in pain and terror. He attempted to retreat, but it was too late. His vision had already gone blurry when the stench of death assaulted his nose. And then after that, the Abyssal Snake Saint could only do what his instincts told him to do and lurch his head to the side…
“Tzzk…”
Xiao Qi’s claws missed the head of the Abyssal Snake Saint and instead tore into his ‘neck’, taking with him a great portion of the Abyssal Snake Saint’s flesh!
The second equipment effect of the Golden Crow Claw was now on its cooldown. But it did its job. The Abyssal Snake Saint was now much weaker than before and his scales were no longer capable of stopping the claws!
“Die!!!”
The +12 additional effect of the left claw still had three seconds to go. Knowing this, Xiao Qi circled around the Abyssal Snake Saint’s head and swooped in to slash out his right eye with it!
“Ahh!!!”
Fear flooded the Abyssal Snake Saint. He tried to resist, to do something that’d prevent Xiao Qi from attacking him, but suddenly it felt as though a sword had pierced into his soul and froze him in place!
A soul attack!!
“Tzk...bang!!”
Like a water bag bursting apart, the eye of the Abyssal Snake Saint was grabbed onto by Xiao Qi’s claw and crushed at once!
A wave of soulforce exploded from Xiao Qi’s claw in the form of violet lightning. Transmitting from his claws and into the Abyssal Snake Saint’s eyelid, the violet lightning drilled even deeper into his skull!
“Roar!!!”
A mournful wail erupted from the Abyssal Snake Saint. His head reared up from the pain and began to thrash around in an attempt to throw Xiao Qi off. Instead of being thrown off, however, Xiao Qi held still to him and continued to send waves of elemental lightning into him. Eventually, the lightning spill out around the two to form a pool of lightning ready to electrocute anything that’d touch it.
It was a terrible sight to behold. A class nine soulbeast was thrashing about in an attempt to survive and yet it seemed like it was in its last moments.
The screaming came to a stop eventually. The Abyssal Snake Saint’s giant body stopped thrashing around and came to a still. Even his soulforce was gradually becoming fainter and fainter. Soon, it couldn’t even be sensed anymore…
The giant snake’s body crashed down onto the ground with a mighty thud where it then moved no more.
The class nine Abyssal Snake Saint was dead!!
……
“He…hehe…I did it…I managed to beat a Saint! Hahaha!!!”
A tired Xiao Qi remained in the air above. He was in deep pain still due to the injuries in his wings, but he was overjoyed to see that he had won.
“Ah! Yunfei! I need to go help Yunfei…”
He instantly forgot about his injuries at the very thought of Bai Yunfei. Turning around, he was about to take off to fly toward Bai Yunfei when he heard a single scream.
“Aghh!!!!”
It brought him to an immediate stop at the sound of this mournful wail!
This voice…belonged to Bai Yunfei!!
