Chapter 496: Chapter 487: Black Mountain Eagle King, Nemesis of the Snake Race?

The Fat Demon King had already locked onto the powerful aura of the Snake Race inside. For an expert at the Pseudo Demon King Level like him, killing a Snake who had just achieved Transformation felt a bit like overkill.

But with the Demon King Slaying Order issued, he had to kill it, even if it were just an ant.

Just then, a young man stumbled out of the cave entrance. His eyes were hazy with drink, and he couldn’t even walk straight.

But the moment this young man appeared, a wave of killing intent flashed across the Fat Demon King’s face. His Demon Qi surged—this was the transformed Snake Demon.

’Hmm? He reeks of alcohol. Looks like this Snake was scared witless, hiding inside and drinking for courage before daring to come out.’

’Hah... No need to waste time. I’ll kill him in one blow and take his Snake Head back to celebrate.’

Just as the Fat Demon King was about to fly over and attack, he suddenly froze. A massive black whirlwind had appeared on the horizon above the cave entrance.

The black wind howled, rolling in like a dark cloud. Demon Qi filled the air, and the surrounding temperature abruptly began to drop.

"Snake Demon, you’ve finally come out to die!" A heaven-shaking roar echoed from within the black wind.

The entire sky couldn’t help but darken.

In the valley of Monkey Mountain, the three factions were locked in a chaotic battle where rivers of blood flowed. The sky above was completely dark, veiled by a formless power, with dark clouds churning and black winds howling.

"I am the Black Mountain Eagle King! To die by my hand is the ultimate fate of a Snake like you!" A thunderous voice boomed across the darkened sky.

Countless Demons were stunned. This was clearly a being at the Great Demon Level, and its entrance was incredibly flashy.

’Black Mountain Eagle King?’

The Fat Demon King was surprised. This was a powerful Great Demon who acted alone and didn’t belong to either of the two great Demon King factions.

The Black Mountain Eagle King was quite famous in the Yaoling Mountain Range. He loved to hunt and eat Cultivated Snake Species and was said to be a wanted criminal and a sworn enemy of the Snake Race.

Many Cultivated Snake Species with excellent Talent and bloodlines had fallen prey to the Black Mountain Eagle King. However, the Eagle King came and went like the wind and possessed immense Demon Power. Any Cultivated Snake Species he targeted was doomed to die, without exception.

’I can’t believe the Black Mountain Eagle King beat me to it. Looks like there’s nothing for me to do here,’ the Fat Demon King thought to himself. Although the Black Mountain Eagle King was a loner, he would rush to kill any Snake Demon that achieved Transformation, as devouring them would greatly boost his Cultivation.

With hazy, drunken eyes, Tu Xiao’an swayed at the cave entrance. The Monkey Wine was delicious, but it really packed a punch. His mind felt a bit fuzzy. He hadn’t even had a chance to see what was happening outside when he noticed the dark clouds and black wind above. He then felt a sharp killing intent and dazedly mumbled a few words: "Black Mountain Eagle King? Never heard of him."

A jeering voice came from above. "You will be the twenty-seventh transformed Snake to die at my hands!"

Suddenly, from within the dark clouds above Tu Xiao’an, a massive eagle talon swooped down from the sky. The giant talon contained unparalleled power, instantly sending sand and stones flying and causing the air itself to shriek as it was torn apart.

’Holy crap, what a huge claw. So scary...’

Tu Xiao’an forced his eyes open. The talon blotted out the sky, descending like a mountain that could smash him to smithereens.

BOOM!

Before Tu Xiao’an could even react, the giant talon seized him and hoisted him brutally into midair.

’Damn it! I’m drunk and you pull a sneak attack on me?’

"Tsk tsk... I heard you’re the Snake who survived the Seventy Two Celestial Tribulations. You don’t look so special to me. You still couldn’t escape the might of my claw."

In midair, the giant talon held the young man, crushing him relentlessly.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me?" Tu Xiao’an asked, still clutched in the talon. He was still deeply drunk, and his dizzy words seemed to float.

The Black Mountain Eagle King, hidden within the dark clouds and wind, sneered. "You guessed right. I’m not just going to kill you, I’m going to squeeze you into a pulp!"

"A pulp?" Unafraid, Tu Xiao’an’s little face was flushed as he chuckled. "Well, you’d better try your best then. I hope you succeed."

The Black Mountain Eagle King was momentarily stunned, then his killing intent erupted like a gale. "You reek of alcohol! Death is at your doorstep and you don’t even know it! Die!"

A Heaven-Shocking Power surged from the giant talon, intending to crush Tu Xiao’an, to squeeze him to death.

But after crushing him for a long while, the person in the talon was still perfectly fine. Instead, a relaxed voice drifted out: "Hey, uh, Little Black Mountain Eagle, can you put some muscle into it? I can’t even tell what you’re trying to do."

A careful observer would notice a golden glow enveloping Tu Xiao’an. It was the Gold Elemental Attribute Power, which boasted astonishing defensive strength.

*I can’t even tell what you’re trying to do.* Those words almost made the Black Mountain Eagle King cough up a mouthful of blood from rage.

His eagle talons were incomparably sharp, capable of destroying anything, and packed with immense force.

"I refuse to believe your transformed body can be this tough!"

A frantic, crushing power emanated from the talon. From beginning to end, the Black Mountain Eagle King had yet to reveal his full form.

For him, killing a single Snake should have been the simplest thing in the world.

"Die, die, I’ll crush you!" The Black Mountain Eagle King’s strained voice rang out, clearly having focused all his strength into his talon.

"I’m still alive, alive, aliiiive. Harder, you can do it!" Tu Xiao’an slurred, playing along as the golden light around him grew even more intense.

The Black Mountain Eagle King: "..."

’What the hell is this? I’m trying to kill you, and you’re cheering me on?’
