NOVPUBIt charged straight for the sky!
The brown scales of the serpent, reflecting in the dark pit and the sprinkled blood everywhere, produced an eerie, cold blue glow.
As solid as iron and stone.
The countenances of Xi Wushang and his group changed drastically at the sight of the serpent.
"Class IV, middle grade!"
"Run!"
Seeing the Foundation Establishment Disciples had all flown out, they too, hastily flew out.
However, their actions provoked an immediate response from the giant snake.
It quickly lowered its head towards the four, its tail withdrew from the large cauldron with remarkable agility. The serpent’s body twisted and writhed, encircling the four with astonishing speed.
"We can’t escape!"
Ji Yuan roared, his gaze fixed on the serpent’s head and quickly said:
"We have missed the best time to leave… We can’t run, we must confront it directly!"
As he spoke...
The serpent watched them, its body faintly quivering.
The scales on its back rapidly squeezed to the sides, and instantly, light blue wings spread out.
The large body of the serpent hung mid-air, sliding quickly like a supply chain, soon showing its fangs.
It growled!
The sound hit them, temporarily paralyzing them.
And, the snake’s head darted swiftly towards Mu Guishou, the weakest amongst them in both cultivation base and strength.
"Bang!"
At that instant, a massive saber struck slantwise towards the serpent’s head.
The saber struck the serpent’s fangs and an intense noise erupted.
The serpent paused slightly, only to speed up and pounce on Mu Guishou.
At the same time, its massive tail forcefully swung toward Ji Yuan, who was still mid-air after his swing.
Seeing this, the face of Qin Fengyi darkened, she waved her hand and the sound of phoenix cries echoed from within her.
A phoenix shadow flew up from her body, aiming straight for the serpent’s vital spot.
But just as it was about to strike, the serpent’s wings, acting like razor blades, rolled up, instantly shattered the phoenix figure.
As the phoenix vanished, the snake’s tail had already struck Ji Yuan.
In the critical moment, Ji Yuan showed no signs of panic, he squared his sword in front, and mana quickly gathered in front of him.
Crack!
A crisp sound echoed and Ji Yuan was thrown hundreds of feet backwards.
But with his sword defending him, he was uninjured, he turned his gaze towards the silhouette at a distance.
"Xi Wushang are you spacing out!"
Ji Yuan yelled. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
At that moment, the snake was only a few dozen feet away from Mu Guishou!
Such a distance was negligible for a Class IV creature.
Seeing Wang Ba and others had flown far away, Xi Wushang breathed a sigh of relief. Upon hearing Ji Yuan’s yell, he drew a deep breath. Without a moment to argue back, he teleported in front of Mu Guishou.
The head of the fierce snake enlarged rapidly in front of his eyes, his vision filled with nothing but the savage, wild, bloodthirsty and vile snakehead.
At this moment, inside Xi Wushang’s Dantian, an enormous quantity of mana, far surpassing others of his realm, roared into action!
Bang!!!
The wind pressure exploded!
Ji Yuan looked in surprise at what was happening.
Not only him, Mu Guishou, Qin Fengyi, and all the cultivators who had seen this from a distance had their eyes wide open in astonishment.
In front of Xi Wushang stood the mountain-sized snakehead, teetering on the edge of retreat.
"Is this the power of the Golden Core champion of Dao-asking Conference?"
"To think he could directly clash with a Class IV creature!"
Standing on the edge of the crowd, furthest from the Feather Serpent, Wang Ba’s gaze was filled with astonishment.
A question arose in his mind:
"Once, Master Yao Wudi had won the Golden Core Realm battle champion as a Foundation Establishment… is that really possible?"
"Or was it that during his time, there wasn’t a Golden Core cultivator as powerful as Xi Wushang?"
"If there was someone as strong as Xi Wushang, then how many Essence types did he master during his Foundation Establishment?"
But before everyone could cheer.
"Hiss-"
The Feather Serpent quickly drew its head back, it looked around and seemed to notice something, its wings flapping!
"Not good!"
Xi Wushang’s heart skipped a beat.
He couldn’t see the Feather Serpent anymore.
It was charging towards the Foundation Establishment disciples!
"Damn it!"
Xi Wushang cursed.
Fortunately, this time his fellow disciple Wang Ba had kept his distance from the crowd.
Upon realising this, both Ji Yuan, Mu Guishou, and Qin Fengyi acted. As they yelled at the cultivators to scatter, they raced towards the Feather Serpent.
However, while he can use his enormous mana to withstand the serpent and even gain an upper hand in the stand-off.
Compared with speed, he was far behind.
Helplessly, he watch the Feather Serpent pounce towards the Foundation Establishment disciples.
At this moment, the basic qualities of the Sect disciples were finally exposed.
Frightened but still rational, the Foundation Establishment disciples quickly scattered and began to act.
"Spread out!"
"Attack it!"
The Foundation Establishment disciples scattered quickly, hurling all of the prepared talismans and magic tools in their hands towards the Feather Serpent.
No matter if they were useful or not, everything was used.
Fortunately, surprisingly level-headed was Liang Zhongkang, who was usually impulsive. He immediately headed toward the edge.
