With twisted, writhing flesh splattering on the ground, He Ao leaped forward, closing the distance between himself and the monster transformed from the leader of the Venomous Snake Gang.
During this maneuver, he continuously varied his strikes, cutting off the tentacles that attacked from the air.
The monster clearly hadn't anticipated the knife in He Ao's hand to be so sharp; after several tentacles had been severed consecutively, it decisively abandoned its original aggressive combat style and started coordinating several tentacles to attack He Ao.
He Ao, who had been rapidly advancing towards the monster, slowed due to this coordination.
