Chapter 138: Scram To The Back!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
The crowd did not become fearful because of the gigantic snake. Rather, they became even more enthusiastic!
"<> mentioned that: "On Mount Chaisang where silver and jade are plentiful and where clear waters run over ocher stones, an abundance of ancient willow, paper mulberry, and white mulberry trees thrived. Here lived a great many elks, as well as mythical white snakes and flying snakes. Note: Flying snakes are known as Teng Snakes. They ride among the mist and soar through the clouds, circling the majestic mountain." [1]
Seeing the huge bulges on the back of the gigantic snake as though something was waiting to burst out of its back, everyone immediately thought back to the legendary winged snake, the Teng Snake!
The number of natural treasures on Earth was extremely few, and none of them was not in the remotest and the most untraversed of regions!
The moment one reached the Evolved Jing realm and wanted to continue breaking through, the difficulty could be said to be harder than hard!
This gigantic snake which seemed to be in the process of evolving into a Teng Snake was simply a moving treasure trove of miraculous medicine!
"Sha!" The gigantic snake roared as it looked at the actions of the crowd in cold indifference. With a mighty sway of its body, the gigantic snake began to make its move!
Its tail shot out like a long shadow, shrieking loudly through the air as it whipped at its attackers!
"PA!"
The deafening crack of the tail whip rang through the cavern as the two-meter-wide tail landed, leaving a deep scar on the ground!
"Chop!" The middle-aged man from Qingfeng Gang grabbed the iron sword on his back and swung out with incredible speed. With a loud shout, a ray of sword shadow flashed outwards, shining with a sinister, sharp gleam!
"Puu!"
This time, even the tough scales of the gigantic snake were unable to block this strike. Huge pieces of shiny scales, each the size of a face basin, were directly cracked in two. A half-meter-long slash wound had appeared on the body of the gigantic snake!
A stream of scarlet gold blood quickly flowed out of the wound, dripping onto the ground steadily.
Everyone present immediately felt their hearts ache upon seeing this. This blood flowing out was the same as top tier medicine dripping away!
The gigantic snake immediately flinched with pain. "Sha!" With an angry roar, its huge tail struck out so quickly that it broke the sound barrier in an instant, appearing right behind the Qingfeng Gang's middle-aged man!
"Evil creature!" Daoist Danxia suddenly roared, the might of his voice knocking the people around him into a momentary daze!
Along with his shout, the Vast Sun Disk in his hands flew out with a speed that left many among the crowd gasping with shock!
Everyone was left wondering if they could block the strike if it was sent towards them! As soon as the thought appeared, a majority of the crowd's faces turned black. There was no question about it. They could not block it!
Under the wide-eyed gaze of the crowd, the Vast Sun Disk instantly appeared next to the gigantic snake's tail. As though there wasn't the slightest obstruction, it cleanly sliced off a section of the snake's tail!
The Vast Sun Disk soared back to Daoist Danxia's hands, with blood dripping off it constantly!
'If the smithing method of that weapon was not so terrible, it would definitely be stronger than my Extreme Arctic Frost!'
Seeing how the Vast Sun Disk was able to slice through the gigantic snake's tail so effortlessly, Bei Feng could not help but sigh with pity. Ultimately, the forging method of the weapon was still a bit too rough.
Bei Feng no longer hesitated. Grasping Extreme Arctic Frost in his hand, his body shook and in an instant, he'd arrived right before the gigantic snake!
"Sha!"
"Crap! The snake is enraged now that it's been hurt!"
Its enormous body shot towards the Qingfeng Gang expert with a speed as fast as a bolt of lightning!
"Scram to the back!" A light shout appeared beside the ears of the Qingfeng Gang expert, pulling him back to his senses. As he turned around, he saw that there was a young man standing in the path between him and the charging snake.
"Overconfident fool! This young man should have just broken through to the Evolved Jing stage, right? This kid obviously does not know the immensity of heaven and earth. He's dead for sure!"
An old geezer nearby sneered coldly, obviously not intending to make a move. The gigantic snake was at the peak of its rage right now. As long as one had half a brain on them, they would know that they must escape the all-out wrath of the enraged beast first!
"Does that kid think himself invincible? With the speed of that snake and the force behind its gigantic body, how much force would a charge like that generate? That young man would probably be smashed to death in one hit, right?"
Another Evolved Jing expert shook his head with disappointment. Although a martial expert possessed a body of bountiful blood and Qi, their strength mainly came about as a result of controlling the energy within their blood and Qi to reinforce their body. Other than dual cultivators who also trained in body enhancement techniques, regular Evolved Jing experts only had about a thousand jin of strength.
Although that amount of strength far surpassed the regular people's, the difference in strength between them and this beast was simply like the light given off by a firefly against the moon!
The people from the Nie Clan had also finally noticed Bei Feng. "D*mn! Isn't that our mansion keeper? How is he so ferocious?!"
"As long as he can survive this attack, we'll spare no efforts to groom him properly!"
Wu Zhongxin also shook his head and chuckled bitterly. "I'm getting too old, to actually misjudge such a fine talent."
Regardless of what the people in the crowd thought, Bei Feng soared forth into the spotlight and under the countless gazes of the many experts, he smashed into the gigantic snake!
Extreme Arctic Frost was swung ruthlessly onto the gigantic snake's head like a giant club, causing a deep arc to appear on the creature's head! One could easily imagine the force in that strike!
"Bam!"
Time seemed to freeze for a second at the point of impact. Thereafter, Bei Feng landed and took numerous heavy steps backward. The ground was filled with his deep footprints!
The gigantic snake was not having a good time either. It had just suffered a blow to the head from a massive force of over ten thousand jin, causing it to go into a daze on the spot.
"Ding! Grade 4 Demonic Beast discovered, Half Teng Snake! (Dragon race. This is a snake beast whose bloodline is returning to its origins of the dragon. Has a possibility of evolving into a Teng Snake. Natural abilities include: Corrosive Poison Cloud and Stealth Dive!) Experience gained: 0!"
The familiar 'Ding' of the System notification sounded out, but Bei Feng was not in the mood to examine the message in detail. Right now, his entire body's blood and Qi was churning excitedly.
His strength had long surpassed 10,000 jin. For the past few days, he had trained diligently in the Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique and unclogged a large amount of blood vessels. His strength had skyrocketed, nearly breaking past the 20,000 jin milestone!
"Haha! Again!" Bei Feng brandished Extreme Arctic Frost excitedly and laughed aloud as he charged towards the Half Teng Snake again!
The old geezer who had first opened his mouth thinking that Bei Feng was dead for sure had his eyes open so wide that his eyeballs were threatening to fall out of their sockets. How was this scene even possible?! After clashing forcefully with the humongous beast, the young lad had only taken a few steps back. It was like he was completely unhurt!
"Dang!"
Extreme Arctic Frost smashed into the side of the gigantic snake, directly shattering a large number of scales!
Bearing the pain forcefully, a huge tail quickly swept towards him in response. Bei Feng only had the time to bring Extreme Arctic Frost in front of him to block and in an instant, he was swatted into the air like a shooting star, firmly smashing into a large tree far away!
"Strike together!"
Daoist Danxia regained his senses from the shocking scene and immediately gestured for the crowd to attack.
A large number of Evolved Jing experts immediately charged at the gigantic snake, unleashing all their strongest skills on it. Although most of them was unable to even break the creature's scales, the force behind their attacks could still pass through the scales to cause damage to its actual body!
Bei Feng crawled up from the ground and without even bothering to wipe away the trace of blood at the corner of his lips, immediately charged into the battle again.
Other than the Vast Sun Disk from Daoist Danxia possessing enough power to easily breach the defenses of the gigantic snake, a few other individuals also displayed impressive battle prowess!
The sword from the middle-aged expert from Qingfeng Gang would leave a large wound on the gigantic beast's body every time he struck.
Another middle-aged expert from Wuji Clan would smash apart the scales on the gigantic snake every time he swung his weapon, opening a bowl-sized wound!
There was no need to mention the terrifying attack strength of Bei Feng. Every hit with Extreme Arctic Frost would leave the Half Teng Snake reeling with pain!
The incomparably sharp Extreme Arctic Frost, coupled with Bei Feng's immense strength, was more than enough to break apart the defense of the gigantic snake, leaving numerous deep slash wounds!
The battle continued in this way until all of a sudden, the heavily injured Half Teng Snake suddenly raised its head and a huge bloat appeared in the creature's neck. Bei Feng was the first one to notice this and immediately retreated while shouting loudly, "Get back!"
The large group of attackers looked over at Bei Feng with shock. Seeing the gigantic snake stop its attacks, gearing up for a super ultimate attack, everyone fled as if their butts were on fire.
