Chapter 440: Chapter 137: Celestial Serpent Transformation (Part 3)

Even so, I almost couldn’t withstand it.

"Crackle..."

Before he could finish speaking, thunder suddenly erupted from his palm, and countless bolts of electricity appeared out of thin air, enveloping the giant snake.

Five Thunders Hand!

"Hiss... Roar..."

The giant snake roared towards the sky, its voice strange.

However, even though the Power of Thunder was strong, it only touched the surface of the snake’s skin and couldn’t kill it.

It could only sting the giant snake.

This snake had lived for countless years and had never experienced such pain, so it suddenly became fiercely aggressive.

"Whoosh..."

A fierce wind rose in the field, and the enormous body of the snake, hidden within the mountains and forests, finally revealed itself completely.

This snake,

was surprisingly over twenty zhang long!

Even Fang Zheng, who was well-versed in the world, couldn’t help but feel his heart race.

Such a terrifying giant snake was seldom seen even in monster movies, and what’s more terrifying was that its skin could withstand bullets, comparable to a Flawless Martial Artist. To kill such a monster might require bombing it flat.

"Hiss..."

The giant snake coiled, layer by layer, resembling some kind of mosquito coil, wrapping Fang Zheng at its core.

Then its body contracted.

The snake’s body tightened.

"Whoosh!"

Fang Zheng leaped up to evade, and in mid-air, he saw the massive snake head striking at an astonishing speed.

"Zzz..."

He stretched his hands, creating spheres of lightning that appeared out of nowhere. As they expanded, they transformed into blades of thunder.

Slash!

Thunder Strike Saber Technique!

"Boom!"

The thunder saber collided with the snake’s head, causing thunder to crumble, and the giant snake couldn’t help but howl to the sky, its head scorched black.

At the same time.

The snake’s tail took advantage of the opportunity to strike, its coiling body twisting in an orderly manner, forcing Fang Zheng back to the ground.

"Hah!"

After landing, Fang Zheng let out a low shout, waving his hands to release eighteen thunder saber lights that flew out without effort from his palms.

"Boom!"

"Rumble..."

The snake’s body, pressing in from all directions, was forcibly blasted away.

"Good!"

After a strike, Fang Zheng halted his actions and lightly clapped his hands:

"A fine Coiling Snake Array indeed, I’ve underestimated you. You brute must have some spiritual wisdom, right?"

The giant snake appeared to be simply coiled, but in reality, its body had transformed into an array, trapping him within.

The snake’s head, tail, and body could launch attacks from any part, truly a combination of offense and defense.

To transform itself into an array, it certainly wasn’t an unintelligent beast.

Moreover,

this snake had other peculiarities.

Its massive body constantly emanated a terrifying pressure that created mental stress for people.

Ordinary people,

even those with a steadfast mind like Elder Gou, would involuntarily feel panic when the giant snake approached.

This pressure, growing over time and with the approach of its Giant Power, would eventually twist a person’s mind.

Ultimately...

either their mind would collapse and they would die, or they would become a puppet of those like Master Ji and Scar, who worshipped the Snake God.

"Hiss hiss..."

The giant snake flickered its tongue, making hissing sounds.

It truly possessed a certain level of wisdom, which is why it manipulated Master Ji and others, having them bring sacrifices.

It also immediately sensed Fang Zheng’s presence, instinctively knowing ’this person’ was very dangerous.

"Just as I thought."

Fang Zheng nodded, saying:

"Since you have wisdom, we don’t necessarily need to fight to the death. Why not sit down and have a good talk."

The giant snake’s eyes flickered, its head lowered slightly, making hissing sounds as if saying something.

"I want neither gold nor silver."

Fang Zheng shook his head, remarkably understanding the giant snake’s meaning, and said slowly:

"I came here with no intention to be your enemy, only to look at the records left by the original Snake God."

"..." The giant snake swayed its body, flicked its tongue.

"If I worship you, I can go see it?" Fang Zheng heard and frowned:

"Sorry, I don’t believe in gods, and... you, sir, may be bigger in size, but you’re not a True God."

"Boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, the giant snake’s head already split the air, charging again, while its body coiled and squeezed from all directions.

The Coiling Snake Array, going all out.

Although the giant snake had wisdom, it was ultimately more beastly, immediately taking action upon being rejected, without even considering bargaining.

Observing from a distance.

The giant snake’s enormous body was like a frantically spinning compass, with its coils sometimes bouncing, turning towards the person inside.

The speed reached such a level that only the virtual shadow circling in the field could be seen, obscuring the details within.

Only storms shot out from inside.

"Damn beast!"

Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, his True Qi surging, countless bolts of lightning and saber lights bursting from his palms.

At the same time,

he slapped his waist at the Five Ghosts’ Pouch.

"Go!"

"Woooo..."

Five plumes of black smoke emerged from the Five Ghosts’ Pouch, transforming into five Fierce Ghosts mid-air, shrieking as they charged at the giant snake.

Over the years, nourished by the Yin Soul Pearl, the Five Ghosts had reached the stage of Primordial Yin formation, capable of a certain resistance to sunlight.

With further progress, they could harbor Evil Qi in their bodies, then even the Protective Force of a Flawless Martial Artist would be hard-pressed to resist.

Now, the Five Ghosts circled, their Ghost Claws reaching for the giant snake, directly devouring its essence and blood, ignoring the barrier of its skin.

Where the Ghost Claws reached, the snake’s flesh and skin melted.

Meanwhile.

Fang Zheng waved his sleeve, releasing Spirit Talismans from his Qiankun Bag, which unleashed squalls, rain, thunder, and lightning in an instant.

The Coiling Snake Array compressing forward was forcibly pushed back.

"Hiss hiss..."

Seeing this, the giant snake’s tongue flickered wildly, its eyes turning crimson, and a layer of seven-colored mist appeared on its body.

The Five Ghosts continued to devour essence and blood, but when their Ghost Claws touched the mist, the Ghost Energy was dissolved as if burned.

The Spirit Talismans activated by Fang Zheng were also extinguished by the mist.

Even.

The Protective Force surrounding him was easily corroded, consuming his True Qi at an alarming rate.

Poison!

And a peculiar poison that could corrode even Gang Qi and ghostly mist!

Fang Zheng’s expression changed, his heart hardening, as he pinched a seal with his fingers and pointed remotely at the retreating Five Ghosts.
