Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020: Battle with the Horned Serpent King

The Horned Serpent let out a miserable cry, falling from the sky and spinning quickly on the ground for a moment before coming to a complete stop.

It couldn’t move at all.

Clearly, its soul was ultimately its weakness, unable to withstand Zhang Bin’s Crescent Moon Silver Sword which specifically targeted souls.

And Zhang Bin dared to come hunt the Horned Serpent precisely because he had this ace up his sleeve and Xiao Qing, that magical gourd.

Otherwise, it would have been too dangerous indeed.

"Without Chiang Xue, hunting Horned Serpents has become quite difficult."

Zhang Bin thought to himself.

Although his Splintered Moon Twin Swords were formidable, they would lose sharpness after one attack.

It was hard to hunt many Horned Serpents.

"We succeeded, that’s great."

"Master brother, you’re incredible."

"The Shattered Moon Divine Sword is amazing, I want to cultivate it too."

Three buffoons rushed out of the cave on White Jade Peak, shouting excitedly and cheering.

They assumed, having successfully hunted one, that they could continuously hunt more.

Isn’t that a fortune?

Zhang Bin sternly said, "From the battle just now, what insights did you gain?"

"What insights? Of course, master brother, you were too powerful!"

The three buffoons were all stunned, saying similar things.

"Uh..." Zhang Bin touched his forehead, "You are such fools. Didn’t you see that when I used the Taiqing Cone to intercept the Horned Serpent, I wasn’t successful? The Horned Serpent’s agility is extraordinary, able to dodge magical treasure attacks. If we could wield the Taiqing Cone this flexibly, our combat prowess would increase several times over, and you could even annihilate Nascent Soul realm experts."

The faces of the three buffoons lit up with ecstatic joy, their eyes blazing fervently.

They indeed noticed the Horned Serpent’s astonishingly agile movements; if they practiced diligently, they might master it too.

They couldn’t wait to start practicing right away to master such an amazing Sword Control ability.

Even Zhang Bin himself couldn’t wait to practice to overcome his own Sword Control shortcomings.

But now, he was capturing Horned Serpents and didn’t have the time.

He then ushered the three buffoons back into the cave and repeated his strategy, luring in a second Horned Serpent.

"Come on, attack me!"

Zhang Bin shouted provocatively.

"Whizz..."

The Horned Serpent flew up, frantically aiming at Zhang Bin’s eyes.

"Try the Heavenly God Red Sun Cannon."

Zhang Bin shouted inwardly as a sun simultaneously shot out from his eyes.

At nearly the speed of light, it bombarded the Horned Serpent in the blink of an eye.

"Boom..."

The sound of the heaven and earth shattering rang out.

It was akin to a small atomic explosion.

But of course, it didn’t harm Xiao Qing at all.

Xiao Qing’s defensive power was too strong.

"Sizzle..."

The Horned Serpent let out a piercing scream.

It fell to the ground, writhing for a while, then finally died.

"Hahaha..."

Zhang Bin laughed with immense excitement.

The Heavenly God Red Sun Cannon can be shot many times.

Thus, many Taiqing Cones could be captured.

However, he didn’t immediately continue capturing.

Instead, he put away two Taiqing Cones, sat down cross-legged, and began honing the swords.

The Splintered Moon Twin Swords repeatedly flew out from his eyes, colliding with each other.

After about thirty times, the Crescent Moon Silver Sword had recovered its sharpness from the previous attack.

He had to be prepared because he planned to lure the strongest Horned Serpent King too.

A terrifying battle was inevitable.

The Splintered Moon Twin Swords were his biggest trump card, so they had to be ready.

He continued capturing Horned Serpents.

Soon, he had killed as many as ten.

The Horned Serpent King seemed a bit foolish.

Still hadn’t noticed the situation.

However, Zhang Bin himself was starting to struggle.

The suns in his eyes appeared somewhat dimmed.

Because too much energy had been expended.

Recovery requires a considerable amount of time, and absorbing sunlight rays from the outside is necessary.

"Now we capture the Horned Serpent King."

Zhang Bin said excitedly.

"We’ve struck it rich; we’re already rich!"

"Capturing the Horned Serpent King means big fortunes."

"Capturing the Horned Serpent King, wealth is no concern."

The three buffoons shouted excitedly too.

They danced around like three madmen.

It’s known that Zhang Bin had acquired 10 middle-grade magical treasures, and they were incredibly powerful ones.

The value was immense.

All Taiqing Sect disciples who cultivated the Telekinetic Ability could obtain one...

Zhang Bin directed Xiao Qing to move slowly, arriving in front of the Horned Serpent King.

Luring the Horned Serpent King according to strategy.

The Horned Serpent King foolishly entered.

But it immediately launched an incredibly frenzied attack on Zhang Bin.

Its speed was like lightning.

The sound of breaking air hadn’t reached Zhang Bin’s ears; it was already in front of him, also targeting his eyes.

"Boom..."

Two red suns blasted out simultaneously, striking the Horned Serpent King.

Light bursting, sound shaking the heavens.

The power was certainly doubled.

The Horned Serpent King flew backward but was unharmed, once more shooting towards Zhang Bin, its mouth emitting ferocious sounds.

"Boom..."

Zhang Bin again used the Heavenly God Red Sun to knock it away.

Then he said through his mind, "Xiao Jiao, if you acknowledge me as master, I will spare your life and offer you great benefits. You will grow stronger."

Unfortunately, the Horned Serpent was proud and stubborn, unlikely to submit.

It frenetically attacked Zhang Bin’s heart, its speed seemingly faster, its attack more fierce.

It was intelligent; knowing Zhang Bin’s eyes could emit the Heavenly God Red Sun, attacking the eyes would certainly lead to being struck.

So it changed its attack direction.

"Crescent Moon Gold Sword, kill it for me..."

Zhang Bin roared, and the Crescent Moon Gold Sword shot out from his eyes, instantly hitting the Horned Serpent King.

"Sizzle..."

The Horned Serpent King let out a painful shriek.

It fell to the ground, writhing in agony.

Yet it didn’t die.

It crouched on the ground, gazing at Zhang Bin with a poisonous glare.

It still seemed unwilling to submit.

Attempting a final, deadly attack on Zhang Bin.

"If I kill it, it’d be such a waste because the Horned Serpent King’s attack power is terrifying, far stronger than the attack when I kill it and refine its body."

Zhang Bin thought again, continuing to persuade the Horned Serpent King.

Unfortunately, the Horned Serpent King remained unmoved, raising its body, looking like it was about to continue attacking.

But it also feared Zhang Bin, hesitating to attack.

The three buffoons turned pale, cold sweat streaming down their faces.

They’ve never seen such a powerful creature before.

"Woo..."

The Horned Serpent King indeed launched an attack, rapidly spinning and slicing through space like a blood-red lightning bolt.

Once again aimed straight at Zhang Bin’s heart.

"Sigh, since you wish for death, I will grant you."

Zhang Bin sighed, no longer holding back, his mind moved, and the Splintered Moon Twin Swords smashed onto the Horned Serpent King.
