"1, 2, 3… Petrification."
As Zhou Xiao's voice resounded, his body quickly coated with a layer of black substance. At this moment, the Blood Corpse's sharp claws struck his shoulder, causing his body to sink slightly but inflicted no substantial damage.
Taking advantage of the lull in the Blood Corpse's attack, Zhou Xiao decisively deactivated the Petrification Attribute, sidestepped to dodge the nearby Blood Corpse's lunging bite, and spun around using his hips for leverage to land a heavy punch on the Blood Corpse's neck.
"Crack!"
The crisp sound of breaking bones echoed, and the Blood Corpse collapsed thunderously to the ground.
"Success!"
