“It’s coming!”
Su Jingxing perked up.
“It’s coming!”
“Attention everyone!”
The Martial Suppression Office’s members cried out in low voices, their eyes fixed on the black figure that broke through the water.
By the river bank, Qi Zhaochen did not stop. He allowed his blood to spill into the river.
The blood of a martial artist was purer than that of an ordinary person, and it contained essence energy.
Since he had already cut his hand, he had to lure this Mutated Beast out of the water no matter what.
Having come this far, it was already an open conspiracy!
Qi Zhaochen used himself as bait to blatantly tell the Mutated Beast in the water that if it wanted to eat him, it had to get out here!
Bam!
With an explosion, the water surface was flung upwards.
Qi Zhaochen’s plan succeeded. With a splash, a large black shadow charged aggressively out of the river and pounced towards Qi Zhaochen.
Hu!
A foul wind swept across the area as energies raged.
Swoosh!
Qi Zhaochen stepped back rapidly, changing his position again and again to avoid the giant mouth with the snake tongue that was coming towards him.
That’s right.
This Mutated Beast in the water was a snake. A huge, glossy, gray snake with black stripes that was as thick as a water tank!
It was unknown how long it was exactly, but just the section that was out of the water was already 20 to 30 meters long.
At this moment, it opened its bloody mouth that was full of pustules and stinky flesh and lunged at Qi Zhaochen.
It didn’t even need to stretch out or draw back. Moving swiftly, it simply chased after Qi Zhaochen, turning left or right, pushing forward without end.
Clearly.
It also had its eyes on Qi Zhaochen. It vowed to swallow this delicious human that was still dripping blood!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, the stench of blood engulfed the riverbank.
Seeing Qi Zhaochen dodge around miserably, the Martial Suppression Office’s members lying in ambush in the various corners woke up. At the same time, they all struck——throwing javelins, releasing arrows, and casting fishing nets…
Su Jingxing witnessed the entire process.
The massive snake attacked quickly and had a clear target. It would be difficult for Qi Zhaochen to kill it alone. The others had to work together with him to do it.
The round up by the Martial Suppression Office’s group could provide Su Jingxing with relevant information.
For example…
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
With a series of sounds, the arrows, javelins, spears, silenced bullets, and other attacks that poured onto the snake were all deflected.
No, it was more accurate to say that they had slipped off!
Not only did the giant snake’s glossy skin carry astonishing defense, it was also as slippery as wax. All the attacks lost their aim the moment they came into contact with it, and the force dispersed in other directions before finally missing.
Qi Zhaochen took advantage of the time when his companions were disrupting the giant snake to charge forward with his saber. He came to the side of the snake on footwork and slashed down ruthlessly, hitting the neck of the snake. Yet, the force of tens of thousands of catties did not take effect. At least 9,000 catties were thrown into the air by the slipping effect of the snake skin.
The huge snake’s head, which was as big as a car, crashed into Qi Zhaochen and sent him into the air. He was thrown more than ten meters away and landed heavily on the ground.
“Roar!”
A stinky snarl echoed along the riverbank.
After it’s first strike succeeded, the snake left the Sky Water River entirely and came to the shore.
Su Jingxing got a measurement after a quick scan.
68 meters!
This thick snake was almost seventy meters long.
The two ends of the body were smaller and the middle was large.
Its abdomen in the middle looked as though it had swallowed an elephant. It was extremely bloated.
Even so, it didn’t slow down at all. After sending Qi Zhaochen flying, its thick tail swept through the air, swinging towards those exposed Martial Suppression Office’s members.
Hu!
The strong wind swept across the riverbank.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
None of the Martial Suppression Office’s members were able to dodge, and they were all thrown into the air by the snake’s tail.
When they fell to the ground one by one, most of them lost their mobility and could no longer attack.
A small group of them also vomited blood. They were in intense pain, as if all of their bones were broken.
“Call… calling for reinforcements! The southern bank of the Sky Water River, calling for reinforcements!”
Qi Zhaochen gritted his teeth and stood up. With a pale face, he ran to a hidden walkie-talkie hidden nearby and growled in a low voice.
Who would have thought that this giant snake, which had barely appeared for a few days, would be so powerful?
It was one thing to have a large body and astonishing defense, but the most important thing was that the snake skin was so slippery, and most attacks slid away.
With this sort of special attribute, it was simply impossible for martial artists below the sixth-grade to fight against it.
Only true energy could deal damage to it!
Qi Zhaochen called for reinforcements, but it was already too late.
By the time reinforcements arrived, the group would be almost completely wiped out and devoured by the giant snake.
Of course, that was the normal situation. Apart from Qi Zhaochen and his men, only the big snake was present.
Neither Qi Zhaochen nor the snake knew about Su Jingxing’s existence.
He was the exception!
Su Jingxing had figured out the characteristics of the snake’s ability by now.
Unlike the Red-Scaled Porcupine, which only had terrifying defense, the snake’s speed, defense, strength, and slickness, Su Jingxing quickly thought of a way to deal with them after understanding it.
Using the Three Origins Saber Art and the Human Origin volume of the Three Origins Saber Art was naturally the easiest.
However, Su Jingxing only had a total of two True Energy Cards. One had already been used, and the remaining one was to be kept as a trump card.
Therefore, he came up with another solution.
That was…
100,000 catties of strength!
…
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The stench still lingered on the riverbank.
Bang!
Qi Zhaochen, who was attacking the giant snake with his saber, was sent flying again. He crashed into three trees and dropped to the ground, vomiting blood.
“Ssss~”
The meandering snake slithered quickly and opened its bloody mouth to catch up to Qi Zhaochen.
Qi Zhaochen, who could no longer move let out a miserable laugh, gave up struggling and waited for death.
However, when the snake’s huge mouth was half a meter away from Qi Zhaochen——
“Roar!”
The giant snake that had its head lowered suddenly let out a long howl of pain as its huge body twisted crazily.
However, only the upper half of its body could be twisted, and the lower half of the body was firmly restrained.
Especially its tail, which was dripping with blood, it was already out of the snake’s control.
It was Su Jingxing who caught the giant snake with three custom-made throwing daggers in each hand.
The moment the snake swept Qi Zhaochen away and pounced to devour him earlier, Su Jingxing, who had joined the battle like a ghost, stabbed his treasure weapon that was infused with internal force into the tail of the snake with 100,000 catties of brute strength.
It was true that snake skin was slippery, but it was also relative.
When one’s strength was strong enough, and aim at a point to penetrate at high speed, it could still be broken.
The treasure weapon broke through the snake’s skin and stabbed into the flesh. Then, it was replaced with a throwing dagger. Su Jingxing naturally had a pivotal point now.
At this moment, he exerted strength in his waist and hugged the snake’s tail with all his strength. As the giant snake roared in pain, it tried to turn its head and attack him. The second before it did, like a massive dragon turning the mountains upside down, he forcefully shook the huge snake that weighed more than ten tons. Then, he lifted it.
“Puff!”
A shrill sound of wind breaking resounded on the riverbank.
With his strength alone, Su Jingxing picked up the giant snake like a rod and swung it wildly.
Boom!
