Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 443 - 70: The Emperor of Nvwa Snake (Mini Explosion)_6
Taotie was simply going crazy.
It was covered in scars, and it had already realized that the gap between itself and the Zhènhǎi Cānglóng was narrowing.
If the fight continued like this, it would die here, but there was nothing it could do!
For habits built over hundreds of years had become like an instinct to it.
It struggled to resist this instinct.
Tang Xian hadn't expected that this Taotie, which recited poetry with every kill, would also die under its own verses.
This was poetic justice.
The massive blood loss had slowed down Taotie's speed and reflexes somewhat.
But its battle with Tang Feiji was still an unknown variable.
Tang Xian regained some ground, yet Taotie still boasted formidable vitality.
Because close combat really wasn't Tang Feiji's forte.
And at this time, the tides of battle changed once again.
The frantic Taotie let out a sharp cry.
That scream came from deep within Taotie's belly.
It was as if that was where its true essence lay.
Feeling that its shell was caught in a paradox, from deep within Taotie's consciousness came a crazed command.
Taotie's eyes turned blood-red, and in an instant, things resembling tentacles grew from its belly and filled its ears.
Blood poured as Taotie's eardrums were pierced, followed by another cry of agony.
Tang Xian watched in shock at the turn of events, never expecting Taotie, when pushed to the brink, to destroy its own hearing.
Its mind was filled with nothing but a roaring noise; beyond that, Taotie could not hear a thing.
It let out a triumphant laugh, seemingly overjoyed to finally be rid of that devil-like figure's interference.
And so, the battle with Tang Feiji took another turn after Taotie had completely succumbed to madness.
The Taotie before them was no longer a poetic murderer of elegance; it was now a truly mad monster.
Tang Feiji's talons pierced through Taotie's back, but suddenly a huge gash split open on Taotie's back on its own accord.
It was as if having a toothy maw on its belly wasn't enough, the back wanted to grow one too.
Seeing this, Tang Xian finally understood why so many records claimed that Taotie actually had no fixed form.
It was like a Lovecraftian creature, yet also a ferocious beast from Huaxia mythology.
Tang Feiji wanted to quickly pull away, but was still viciously bitten by the massive mouth on Taotie's back.
In that instant, as Taotie devoured the dragon flesh, its strength began to slowly return.
This Judge of the Court of All Beasts was only now revealing its full strength.
It was the true fighting force representing the Court of All Beasts.
First, Tang Feiji was bitten at the waist, then at the shoulder blade.
After a prolonged battle, it was now greatly weakened.
No matter how much Tang Xian yelled and shouted, Taotie gave no response.
It seemed as if there was no way out.
After going mad, Taotie had become a monster that devoured relentlessly, and its speed and strength seemed to have ascended to a new level.
Being unable to use elemental attacks was a significant disadvantage for Cānglóng.
Now, Taotie was as if armored in an extra protective layer!
[Go! Tang Xian, and that little snake, I won't lose! I'll hold it off, don't get in my way!] Tang Feiji didn't consider itself a hero saving others, it merely couldn't accept losing to other beasts in a head-on fight.
Tang Xian thought about a plan, and did not back away.
Bai Mansheng had transformed back into human form at this point.
She spoke softly, "That stupid dragon can't hold on any longer."
Tang Xian nodded.
"So you're not leaving?"
"I can't leave yet. If I do, it's like I'm smashing my own signboard."
Despite trying hard to maintain a calm demeanor, Tang Xian indeed couldn't think of an approach this time.
Because the opponent knew him well and, in itself, was a simplified version of an Eden Child.
It was hard to imagine how a true Eden Child would be defeated under the protection of an apocalypse-level creature.
"I have a way to win," Bai Mansheng suddenly said.
"What way?" Tang Xian asked in surprise, looking at Bai Mansheng.
But at that moment, Bai Mansheng suddenly pushed Tang Xian away.
Tang Xian, puzzled, looked at Bai Mansheng.
Bai Mansheng raised the prop bag in her hand.

It was then that Tang Xian noticed, Bai Mansheng had stolen his prop bag earlier.
Bai Mansheng opened the prop bag and took out the fruit from the Zudun Holy Tree.
"Tang Xian, you and that foolish dragon can leave."
As soon as the fruit of the Zudun Holy Tree was revealed, Taotie's body suddenly paused.

After all, it was the biggest glutton in the world.
Saliva dribbled from all three of its massive mouths.
Tang Xian guessed what Bai Mansheng was about to do; he got up without any hesitation and launched his snake stance to snatch back the fruit.
But when it came to the snake stance, Bai Mansheng was the true master.
She easily dodged it.
Meanwhile, Tang Xian also saw the covetous looks in the eyes of the Nvwa Snakes behind Bai Mansheng.
The fruit of the Zudun Holy Tree was too great a temptation for all the beasts.
Bai Mansheng said:
"But I won't leave, because this ugly creature killed my clansmen, and today, it's do or die between us!"
Tang Xian had never seen Bai Mansheng so angry before. Perhaps part of the reason was that Tang Xian had been telling Bai Mansheng to back off all day. Bai Mansheng did not like to be looked down upon, especially by her own people.
The normally aloof Bai Mansheng was more like a literary girl, but even the gentlest cat has its moments of fury.
Just like now, she was even crazier than the Taotie after its madness!
