Chapter 1690: Chapter 1724: The Giant Jiao Snake Guarding the Holy Weapon (Fifth Update)

Lin Zifeng had never seen such a giant serpent before.

It’s probably not an exaggeration to describe it as a Jiao serpent. The Great Thousand World is full of wonders and world mysteries—who can solve them all?

The existence of such a giant Jiao serpent is also possible. After all, planets are so mysterious. Lin Zifeng comforted himself with this thought...

”Moo~”

The big snake let out a cry like a mooing cow, scaring the faint-hearted out of their wits.

”In this world, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as divine weapons, are always protected by great creatures. It seems this big snake is guarding the holy weapon!” Yao Qingman stood before the cave entrance, a large blood pond inside the cave, its blood water boiling like a pot of scorching hot water, continuously bubbling.

The giant serpent stood before the entrance, neither retreating nor leaving. Its crimson eyes, as large as small balls, fixedly stared at anyone attempting to seize the holy weapon!

Yao Qingman, Abe Ce, and Hu Buruan stood at different angles and positions, gazing at the massive Jiao serpent before them. All three swallowed hard, hesitant to make the first move. Behind them were dozens of powerful cultivators.

”The serpent has stopped us now. If we start killing each other, it will only benefit certain individuals. Why not kill this giant serpent first before any internecine fighting?”

Abe Ce shouted loudly.

He believed that with the serpent right in front of them, they wouldn’t dare to attack him. Unless they are courting death.

”Alright! Let’s do as you say. But who gets the holy weapon will depend on their fate!”

Hu Buruan wasted no time, transforming into a green light and rushing swiftly toward the cave entrance, eager to test the serpent’s strength.

”Moo!!!”

The big snake seemed aware they came with hostile intent, each possessing sky-reaching cultivation. It knew its fate was drawing to an extreme point. During its fierce fight with Hu Buruan, it fought desperately, as such spiritual objects living for hundreds of years naturally possessed unique spirituality.

The Liu Shen’s holy weapon had been buried for hundreds of years, meaning this giant Jiao serpent must have lived many years.

Time passes fleetingly, eternally hasty—who can escape death?

”Why are you all just standing there? Hurry up and help!”

Hu Buruan found it difficult to deal with the giant Jiao serpent alone; even if he could kill it, it might exhaust enormous primordial energy, rendering him into a useless heap, vulnerable to any Qi Dao Realm cultivator’s assault...

Yao Qingman hesitated for a moment, contemplating. With his profound cultivation, if he could seize this opportunity to eliminate Hu Buruan, there would be one less competitor, one less enemy vying for the holy weapon.

But Abe Ce was far smarter, rushing forward without a word, deploying his illusion technique. His actions warmed Hu Buruan’s heart.

Unexpectedly, Yao Qingman wasn’t as honorable as a person from Japan, thus earning instant goodwill from the clever Abe Ce.

Yao Qingman narrowed his eyes, inwardly sighing in worry. If Hu Buruan and Abe Ce allied against him, it would spell trouble. Thus, he too stepped into the battle.

The three Sub-Saints joined forces in the fierce battle against the Jiao serpent.

The cave roared continuously with thunderous sounds, stones flying everywhere, making it challenging to deal with the giant serpent indeed.

”Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and seize the holy weapon!”

Yao Qingman’s cold, sharp eyes gleamed, knowing the holy weapon tempered in the cave’s blood pond was definitely not easy to obtain. Reckless pursuit would only lead them to a fatal situation.

Most accompanying cultivators chuckled inwardly.

The giant Jiao serpent was their target, while they aimed to seize the holy weapon—where else could such a good deal be found?

But as soon as five King Realm cultivators reached the front, eyes glinting greedily, attempting to approach the blood pond, the serpent fixed its gaze upon them. With a sweeping tail strike, it fiercely lashed out.

The two in the lead had their heads practically exploded in an instant, turned into shattered flesh splattered throughout the cave in a haze of blood mist. The headless bodies spurting blood wildly twitched for a brief moment before succumbing to death.

Others who sensed the danger and tried to flee were also struck by the serpent’s tail.

”Snap!”

One was struck across the torso, body split in two, eyes filled with terror, never understanding why it turned out this way even in death...

Those waiting at the cave’s entrance, witnessing the scene, were hardly daring to advance!

Some even counted themselves lucky for not rushing forward as greedy fools...

The thought was correct, but the reality being so, they were thoroughly outsmarted—*violated* by fate!

Initially watching from outside, staying put would have been harmless. But the three Sub-Saints couldn’t handle the serpent—it was truly enraged afterward, charging out of the cave entrance, its enormous body sweeping wildly, devastating nearly a hundred cultivators crowded at the narrow stone passage, reducing everyone to shredded meat, some crushed to death by the serpent’s body.

Others were whipped to death; some simply scared to death. Most were ground to death by the serpent’s body in the confined space...

The scene was monstrously revolting, bloodthirsty beyond belief. All eyes fixed upon the serpent towering fully upright, its crimson eyes scanning the field, making retreating cultivators regret deeply.

One jumps, the serpent bites; another jumps, and it’s torn apart, blood mixing with bluish saliva from its maw—it’s disgustingly revolting!

Yao Qingman, Abe Ce, and Hu Buruan clung to the cliff above the cave, none daring to descend for another brutal battle with the big serpent.

The serpent raised its upper body, icy eyes fixed directly upon them. Whoever descended would be bitten to death!

”What do we do? Are we supposed to just wait here?” Hu Buruan was getting impatient. The damned serpent was too formidable.

”Even with the three of us, it’s very difficult to fight against it—let’s wait for some more experts,” Yao Qingman suggested.

”Then let me take on this serpent!”

Suddenly!

Another female warrior descended from the sky above the canyon; without showing herself, her powerful voice indicated her remarkable strength.

The Taihuang Demon, in white clothing, descended from the canyon sky, wielding the Heartless Sword, aiming at the serpent’s eyes before the cave.

”Come! A fight is desired!” The Taihuang Demon was bold, daring to take on the serpent alone.

Having previously fought Alom, she hadn’t suffered defeat, rushing over almost immediately upon hearing the commotion.

”And I’m here too!”

Alom wouldn’t be outdone, leaping down the canyon, joining the battle.

The serpent originally showed disdain towards the Taihuang Demon, but upon seeing Alom, its gaze grew solemn—five Sub-Saint Realm experts appeared suddenly, each with deep cultivation. Their mere presence signaled danger.
