Chapter 97: Chapter 96: Slay the Demon (5th Update, Please Subscribe and Vote for Monthly Ticket)

"Retreat!"

A loud shout erupted as Nie Yunhao swiftly wielded his long sword, transforming it into a protective screen that blocked all the ice pillars.

Liu Dong held a cone spike in one hand and swiftly deflected the ice pillars, while his other hand moved like a phantom, easily brushing aside any ice pillars that came near him.

However, the others were not so fortunate. Apart from a few martial artists at the Inner Qi Realm like Zhao Jing and Liu Yang who could barely manage, the five directors including Qin Yu barely managed a hasty retreat and struggled in their defense.

Occasionally, ice pillars would strike them. Even though they had reached the peak of External Forging and Internal Cultivation, their skin and flesh still split open from the impact, resulting in injuries.

"Hiss!"

The giant snake let out another thunderous hiss and its entire body shot forward in an instant.

In almost a split second, it lunged at Liu Dong with its mouth wide open, ready to swallow him whole.

Feeling the intense stench from the snake demon’s mouth, Liu Dong’s heart pounded. With a quick bend and leap, he retreated explosively.

At the same time, his hands rapidly flicked over his cone spike weapon. Like phantoms, his hands caused the spike to spin rapidly.

"Go!"

The cone spike shot out from his hands like a flash of lightning, piercing into the snake’s mouth in the blink of an eye.

Poof!

Infused with his full strength, the spike deeply embedded into the snake’s body, wreaking havoc inside.

"Celestial Entwining Hand!"

Bai Ziyue’s eyes lit up.

This skill from his master left him deeply impressed.

The technique of manipulating the cone spike allowed it to shoot out like a hidden weapon.

He had a gut feeling that this strike’s power far exceeded what he could achieve with his Golden Thread Saber magical artifact.

"As expected from the Celestial Entwining Hand."

Nie Yunhao also uttered a word of praise.

"Hisss..."

The giant snake howled in severe pain, its body twitched violently, causing the stone-paved road to crack inch by inch, with some places even collapsing deeply. novelbuddy.cσ๓

A nearby house was smashed by the snake’s tail, collapsing into rubble.

"Now’s the time."

Liu Dong did not care about losing his weapon and quickly shouted.

Immediately, dozens of skilled members of the gang rushed out, each group of three or four carrying a layer of fishing net, trying to throw it over the giant snake.

Layers of fishing nets fell; although most missed, three or four layers managed to cover the snake.

"Pull!"

Everyone worked together to pull the nets tight.

"Turn!"

They spun the nets rapidly, trying to entangle the giant snake.

"Hiss!"

The giant snake roared, its body surged with strength, bursting toward a direction with unstoppable force.

Seven or eight martial artists at the Inner Cultivation Realm couldn’t hold it back, and the nets tore apart with cracks as the giant snake’s massive body charged forward, crashing into two people.

"Ah..."

The sound of bones snapping was heard as the internal organs of the two people were torn apart by the force, fresh blood spilling from their mouths until they quickly lost consciousness.

Ignoring the two dead martial artists, the snake folded its body again and opened its mouth wide, spraying a jet of venom.

"Ah..."

"My face..."

Two martial artists who were pulled close due to the force couldn’t dodge in time and were directly drenched in venom.

In the blink of an eye, their skin and flesh began to corrode rapidly, and the venom soon invaded their internal organs...

Even though the two had cultivated their five viscera internally, they couldn’t resist the venom and quickly fell to the ground, trembling.

The others, witnessing this, were terrified and quickly retreated.

"Elder Nie! If you don’t act now, we’ll have to retreat."

Liu Dong shouted sternly.

The terror of this snake demon was beyond his expectations.

"Don’t worry!"

Nie Yunhao responded as he darted towards the giant snake like a flying swallow.

He had thoroughly prepared for this demon-killing mission.

He understood that Immortal Master Wu was one of the very few in Wujiang County who had reached the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation. For the snake demon to have escaped from him, it must have exceptional skills.

A special slab of stone was suddenly tossed out by him.

Soul-Stabilizing Disc!

This was an item from the County City’s military, known to be an excellent weapon against demons and strange creatures, as well as immortal cultivators.

Of course, it was equally effective against martial artists.

He had borrowed it due to his acquaintance with a certain lieutenant and had to return it within a month.

Buzz!

The slab vibrated, emitting a peculiar wave of energy.

Instantly, the formerly unmatchable snake demon trembled and seemed to be forcibly frozen in place.

Immediately, Nie Yunhao’s figure swiftly rushed out, with a swish sound, the sword light flashed, and it fell like lightning.

Poof!

A huge wound instantly appeared on the giant snake’s head.

Swish!

Another sword strike fell, the blade penetrated to the bone, slicing off a large chunk of the snake demon’s flesh.

Only then did the others react, hurriedly rushing in front of the giant snake, various weapons continuously striking down.

"Hiss!"

After three breaths, the snake demon finally broke free from the restraint of the Soul-Stabilizing Disc, hissed urgently, and without pausing body sprang and shot forward, knocking away a martial artist and attempting to escape quickly.

"Quickly, stop it..."

Liu Dong was anxious, yelled fiercely, inner strength surged, and his body darted out like green smoke.

Several Inner Cultivation level martial artists happened to be in the path of the snake demon’s spring, all paled and dodged aside.

Even though the snake demon was riddled with scars at this moment, its charging momentum and strength were still terrifyingly powerful. Blocking its path was as futile as an arm trying to stop a cart; they might be able to hinder it briefly but would likely pay with their lives.

When truly faced with a life-and-death crisis, few would face it head-on without hesitation.

The fear of death is only human nature.

Being able to throw their weapons as obstacles was already commendable.

"It can’t get away,"

At the critical moment, Nie Yunhao lightly shouted, his figure dashed, catching up just as the giant snake was about to break through the encirclement, discarded his longsword, clasped the snake demon’s tail with both hands, steadied his steps, and unleashed a tremendous force, swinging it backward.

Boom!

The nearly thousand-pound snake demon was harshly smashed to the ground as if it were a long whip.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Though Nie Yunhao looked frail and somewhat old, his strength was frighteningly great. His violent swaying of the snake’s tail left everyone astonished.

"Too violent, too powerful,"

Qin Shaoping’s mouth gaped open in shock and envy.

He himself also practiced swordsmanship and paid extra attention to Elder Nie who also practiced swordsmanship. The opponent’s skill displayed had already amazed him.

But at this moment, the opponent abandoned his sword and ferociously swung the giant snake, giving him a sense of absurdity.

"This is a martial artist. The stronger the power, the higher the realm, the greater the strength,"

Bai Ziyue said, his figure moving quickly closer to the battlefield.

He sensed that the snake demon was likely about to die. A powerful snake demon dying, even if not killed by him, would still bring him a great harvest of Soul Energy.

This was an opportunity not to be missed.

"Hey, Brother Bai, what are you going there for?"

Qin Shaoping looked puzzled but still followed instinctively.

The closer they got, the more they felt the snake demon’s might.

Nearly twenty meters long, its waist as thick as a human body, and the enormous and ferocious snake head – just looking at it sent chills down one’s spine, let alone facing it in battle.

Thinking about how he had once been so close to such a demon, Bai Ziyue felt a shiver in his heart.

Boom!

After nearly twenty swings, the snake demon’s body was almost entirely broken, its originally tidy scale armor scattered, and threads of blood seeped from its flesh.

"Die!"

A figure swiftly leaped forward, slashing downward, and a long, sharp knife fiercely plunged into the snake demon’s head.

Hiss!

The giant snake let out one last hiss, its long tail reflexively swinging.

Boom!

Debris flew, scattering everywhere.

Bai Ziyue’s eyes flashed like lightning, quickly drew his blade, and struck, slicing an approaching fist-sized rock in two.

"What a fast blade,"

Nie Yunhao’s eyes brightened, and he couldn’t help but praise.

Only then did the snake tail suddenly stiffen and gradually droop down.

The giant snake also lost its breath, no longer moving.

"It finally died. It sure took a lot of effort to take it down,"

Tan Chaofan sighed, a touch of relief finally showing in his eyes.

"After all, it was a demon, naturally powerful.

But we suffered quite a few losses this time. Four Inner Cultivation disciples died, and all the participants were more or less injured. It will probably take some time to recover."

Internal Affairs Director Liu Yanhong’s face was pale, her shoulder’s clothing torn, revealing blood-stained skin, indicating she was lightly wounded as well.

"But all this was worth it.

No matter what kind of demon, the good things on its body are never few. This snake demon was so powerful, so naturally, there are more good things on it.

Just its demon core is enough to compensate for the losses, not to mention its scale armor, which can make at least two pieces of soft armor.

And snake sinew, that’s great material for making bowstrings. Even if it’s restricted from being used, selling it to the military will fetch a good price.

And the snake demon’s flesh, so much of it, will probably boost the strength of our sect’s disciples significantly, maybe even producing one or two Inner Qi Realm martial artists among you."

Liu Yang pulled out the sharp knife stuck in the snake demon’s head and said with a smile.

Practicing martial arts requires diligent hard work, but also various resources to speed up the training.

The flesh of a demon can increase Qi and blood levels far more than any exotic beast. Combined with the nurturing of the unique spiritual material in a demon’s body, it might indeed help a Peak of Inner Cultivation martial artist to further cultivate Inner Strength.
