Chapter 661: Climbing High to Kill the Snake!
Chapter 661: Chapter 661: Climbing High to Kill the Snake!
Boom~~~~!!
A dull explosion resounded from within the belly of the shadow snake.
All the talismans it had swallowed exploded inside it.
The next second, the body of the shadow snake seemed to be torn apart from the inside out!
A long, gaping hole was ripped open in its abdomen, from which various objects began to roll out.
Upon closer inspection, there were an array of human and beast bones, dense skeletons tumbling out, quickly piled up into a small mountain.
It began to vomit, spewing semi-digested corpses wrapped in a viscous liquid from its mouth. The foul stench was so potent it could suffocate anyone alive.
At this moment, during the battle between man and snake, humans finally managed to harm the ferocious snake.
The members of the Xuanxue Society all cheered.
Ma Chuxia sighed in relief. “Little Long, the talisman you gave me is really powerful, it even seriously injured the shadow snake!”
“Heh~~ things are not as simple as you think.” Huang Xiaolong said, smiling but not smiling, his eyes filled with deep meaning.
At this time, Bian Mudong shouted. “Take advantage of its weakness! Kill it!”
Seeing the shadow snake seriously damaged, Bian Mudong summoned all his strength and roared, his aura soaring like a raging golden-crowned king.
He bit his tongue, spat a mouthful of blood, and broke free from constraints. His energy, spirit, and fighting will were drastically raised!
“Blood Sacrifice Technique!”
Bian Mudong activated a rather tyrannical auxiliary cultivation technique — “Blood Sacrifice Technique”.
The essence of this technique was to spit out one’s own blood, enduring some cost to forcibly raise the practitioner’s strength, spiritual power, combat power, and willpower to a whole new level. Whether to secure victory over a stronger foe or to launch a counterattack, this technique could deliver a fatal blow to the enemy!
Though it inevitably caused certain damage to the body, the members of the Bian family had many healing pills. A period of proper recuperation would make everything back to normal after all.
Bian Mudong threw a punch!
Even before the punch hit the shadow snake, it exploded in mid-air making a terrifying sound as if an earthquake had occurred.
The other ancient martial arts grandmasters of the Bian family, in conjunction with Bian Mudong’s strongest blow, gathered all their life’s cultivation to strike the shadow snake.
Boom~~~!!!!!
All attacks landed on the shadow snake. However, at a critical moment, the shadow snake spewed out a large amount of sinister energy.
The shadow snake was blasted several meters away, and countless scales were peeled off.
However, that mouthful of sinister energy instantly froze and shattered three ancient martial arts grandmasters into ice sculptures.
Apparently, both sides had suffered losses.
However-
As soon as the shadow snake fell, it got up again. It seemed like a monster that could never be killed, possessing an endless supply of spiritual energy.
In an instant, the shadow snake mounted a comeback!
Boom~~~!!!!!
The shadow snake entirely used its body like a whip, lashed out at Bian Mudong and the few remaining grandmasters of the Bian family!
Bang!!!!!
Bian Mudong and the others were immediately smashed away, their bodies heavily crashing into a mountain wall!
They were embedded into the mountainside like specimens, continuously vomiting blood. Although they didn’t die instantly, they were severely injured and had lost all ability to fight. @@novelbin@@
“We can’t even kill it like this?” Xia Ying blurted out, her face full of horror.
The next second!
The shadow snake abruptly turned around. Its entire body was full of wounds, countless scales had scattered, and a gap in its belly was as if it was cut in half.
However, the sinister energy emanating from it had not diminished at all. Its sinister snake eyes were filled with anger, bloodlust, greed, and malice…
The shadow snake began to approach Huang Xiaolong and the others.
“This monster, is… is… is it unkillable?” Ma Chuxia was feeling somewhat powerless and desperate.
“Alright, it’s my turn to intervene.” Huang Xiaolong said with a playful smile, then calmly headed towards the shadow snake.
He walked directly under the massive sinister energy, and despite his seemingly frail and thin body, it seemed to contain a power that could annihilate everything!
“Little Long!” Both Ma Chuxia and Xia Ying screamed.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.” Huang Xiaolong said nonchalantly.
At this moment, Bian Mudong and the others embedded in the mountainside watched Huang Xiaolong with gloating expressions, all the while still coughing up blood.
They didn’t believe Huang Xiaolong could defeat the Yin Snake.
Anyway, they were all going to die. Thus, better to at least take more people down with them!
The Yin Snake also observed the human approaching it with a doubtful gaze. To it, this human seemed insignificant.
Thump~~ Thump~~ Thump~~~
As Huang Xiaolong moved, his footsteps grew heavier, as though an ancient mammoth was angrily stomping the ground!
Thump~~~
With each step, he seemed to solidify the air beneath him, creating a stair-like form.
Huang Xiaolong stepped onto this air-stair, elevating himself a step higher.
Another step, and the air solidified again, forming another step.
Just like that, Huang Xiaolong ascended flight after flight, emanating an aura of supreme dominance!
“Aow~~~” The Yin Snake let out a strange cry, finally sensing danger—a threat coming from the deepest core of life itself!
Its remaining scales rose in panic!
By now, Huang Xiaolong had ascended tens of steps! His body was actually leveled with the head of the Yin Snake!
Their eyes met!
Everyone watching seemed to freeze at that moment!
This was a classic scene!
This was a breathtaking scene!
This was a scene that inspired reverence!
Huang Xiaolong, standing at the zenith, looked down at the ant-like others!
Such momentum, such prestige, was like a sovereign pointing at the world!
The next moment, Huang Xiaolong slightly smiled. He raised his right hand, and a brilliant light began converging towards it!
“Aow~~~~” Sensing an immense crisis, the Yin Snake wanted to retreat!
But——
Boom~~~~!!
Huang Xiaolong swung his right hand down, releasing a blade of light with the might of a thunderbolt!
The blade light was dazzling, as if it could cleave heaven and earth!
This strike manifested Huang Xiaolong’s comprehension of martial arts and sword techniques.
A ray of light flashed from up to down!
From the head of the Yin Snake, the light beam quickly spread to the ground, carving a deep trench, raising clouds of dust!
Splat~~~~~~~!!
The Yin Snake was cleaved in two!
Its body split open from left to right!
Huang Xiaolong triumphantly flew up, cleaved the Yin Snake with a single strike from above, killing it instantly!
Boom~~!!
The snake was sliced in half!
Strange enough, the insides of the Yin Snake seemed hollow. The slice revealed no snake blood or innards.
The two portions of the snake’s remains suddenly withered, looking like two pieces of massive snake skin!
“Heh~~ You should reveal your true appearance now,” Huang Xiaolong said, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
The next second——
Boom~~!!
A beam of black qi shot up into the sky. Within it, the sound of a dragon’s roar echoed!
Upon looking, a serpent shadow, half-real and half-illusory, twenty-something meters long, appeared in the sky. An evil qi radiated off of it.
“The real Yin Snake is not a boa that has cultivated into a specter. ” Huang Xiaolong spoke with certainty as if he knew the answer all along. “Rather, it’s a boa that, after dying, its soul fused with the Yin qi of Canglong Pool and devoured water ghosts, eventually becoming what it is today. Simply put, it’s a ‘Snake Ghost.’ What I slashed just now wasn’t but a puppet controlled by this ‘Snake Ghost.’ As it’s just a puppet, there was neither blood nor organs, as empty as a shell!”
“So… So that’s why…” Ma Chuxia came to her senses. “But… if just a mere puppet can be so strong, this… this Snake Ghost itself… must be… extremely terrifying… “
What do you think?
