Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 669 - 498: The Club

Inside the connector, Heibo’s head buzzed. A searing pain shot through his skull, and his vision darkened as if an iron chisel had viciously hammered his forehead.

Although the Nine-Headed Serpent had retreated after taking a significant beating, its ferocious nature remained unchanged. It vigorously slammed its massive tail against the ground, the thudding sounding like war drums.

However, it no longer dared to approach rashly. Though it didn’t understand why its opponent remained motionless, this presented an opportunity. The serpent began to circle the Combat Rooster, unleashing a barrage of long-range attacks. Instantly, explosions, lightning, and flames surged, completely engulfing the Combat Rooster.

Heibo’s supporters watched this scene, their recently quieted cheers rising enthusiastically once more. On the surface, at least, it seemed the Nine-Headed Serpent had the upper hand. Even that last hit seemed to prove the Combat Rooster could only employ a "defensive counterattack" tactic. And why use such a tactic, if not because it’s outmatched?

Up in the VIP box, Bernice and the others, who had been somewhat tense moments before, relaxed. Smiles blossomed on their faces once again.

"Chen Gu’s Combat Rooster certainly has strength," Bernice commented. "The Nine-Headed Serpent has grown impatient. Its opponent, though not as strong, isn’t easily defeated. It just needs to be more patient, and victory will eventually be its." Her words earned nods of agreement from everyone else, except for Ding Zhou. He frowned privately, sensing something wasn’t quite right.

However, he quickly composed himself. This was just a colossal beast combat match, and its outcome had limited impact on the grand scheme of things.

Chen Gu also seemed to have discerned the Combat Rooster’s intention and chose not to interfere further.

Amidst the Nine-Headed Serpent’s terrifying onslaught, the Combat Rooster’s once-colossal body had vanished from sight.

The Nine-Headed Serpent attacked fiercely for over ten minutes. It was like a grand fireworks display; at the very least, the sound and light effects were spectacular, much to the audience’s delight.

The atmosphere at the venue was electric.

Only Chen Gu’s supporters felt terribly stifled. What on earth is happening? they wondered. What does it mean to just stand there and take a beating?

After more than ten minutes, the Nine-Headed Serpent tried to close in again, preparing to end the match.

This time, however, it was even more cautious. One of its heads quietly circled behind the Combat Rooster and opened its mouth wide. A flexible, whip-like sword shot out, aiming for what it had identified as a "weak point" on the Combat Rooster.

Under the cover of the surrounding explosions and flames, this attack was extremely covert, almost impossible to detect.

Yet the Combat Rooster, which had remained steadfast the entire time, suddenly twisted its neck. With a sharp THWACK, it accurately struck the metal whip.

It was as easy as snatching an insect in its beak.

CRACK!

The metal whip snapped instantly, its tip flying off to who knows where.

The Nine-Headed Serpent howled in pain, its body trembling. But the Combat Rooster was cunning. After snapping the metal whip, it didn’t let go. Instead, it clamped down on the remaining part and, with a vigorous twist of its neck, gave a hard pull!

The metal whip was connected to one of the Nine-Headed Serpent’s heads and could be considered that head’s "tongue." Whether biological or mechanical, having one’s tongue yanked rendered a creature utterly helpless.

The Nine-Headed Serpent’s body shuddered and collapsed. It was dragged across the ground for several dozen meters, a large amount of sickly green fluid gushing from the gaping maw of the afflicted head.

The Nine-Headed Serpent was ferocious, however. It raised another head and fired two laser beams from its eyes. BOOM! The lasers sliced through the metal whip.

Only then did it escape the Combat Rooster’s grasp.

Chen Gu’s fans erupted in cheers, finally able to vent their frustration!

The Nine-Headed Serpent retreated again. It was now missing a horn and a tongue. While these weren’t mortal injuries, it was clearly flustered.

Its eyes now showed not only anger but also a hint of doubt and uncertainty.

It had a vague feeling that its opponent’s immobility might not stem from "fear." This battle wouldn’t end so easily.

At this point, it felt somewhat at a loss. Long-range attacks seemed to have no discernible effect on the Combat Rooster, and it wasn’t confident it could wear down its opponent that way.

Yet its two attempts at close combat had ended in utter failure—a true case of trying to steal the chicken only to lose the bait.

Heibo, controlling his colossal beast, decided to stake everything on one last, desperate effort. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The Nine-Headed Serpent quickly rallied and launched another barrage of relentless attacks, this time even employing its powerful, energy-draining laser eyes.

The Combat Rooster, as before, remained motionless, allowing its opponent to unleash its assault.

Suddenly, one of the Nine-Headed Serpent’s ordinary-looking heads rose.

All the other heads had various "attachments," but this one was plain, simple, and had never been used in battle before.

Outsiders speculated that this head hadn’t completed its "development" and that its special attack capabilities hadn’t yet emerged.

But at this moment, the mouth of this head opened, seemingly spraying something out—yet the audience saw nothing at all.

However, the flames and lightning surrounding the Combat Rooster were instantly swept away by some unknown force, leaving the area around the Combat Rooster completely clear!

The Combat Rooster’s body exhibited a peculiar fluctuation, its massive metal frame suddenly erupting with a cacophony of CLANGS and BANGS.
