Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 390: Chapter 386: White Snake and Green Snake?

Tu Xiao’an’s manifestation as a thirty-meter Purple Gold Snake had practically become a giant beacon in the city, visible from any location.

However, the beautiful woman was perhaps well-versed in battles of the Demon Level. She had sealed off this space before the fight even began.

Therefore, no matter what happened within the courtyard, it was invisible to the outside world.

One had to admit, she had foresight.

The Golden Silkworm Gu Snake watched the Snake Spirit’s towering, manifested body, its Snake Pupils flickering. After all, it was currently only a little over ten meters long.

It was immediately put in an inferior position, forced to look up at its opponent.

The large snake and the small snake—the difference was clear at a glance.

”Is being big really so useful? When I, your great-grandma, stood tall, a Little Snake Spirit like you hadn’t even been born yet,” the Golden Silkworm Gu Snake said, its voice a mournful wail filled with contempt.

The Purple Gold Snake retorted, ”Old Demon, once I swallow you whole, you’ll find out just how useful being big is.”

”Tsk, tsk... is that so?”

In an instant, sand and stones were sent flying as a violent gale swept through the courtyard. The ten-meter-plus-long Golden Silkworm Gu Snake erupted in a golden light so blinding it hurt the eyes.

Its body began to transform, expanding with unstoppable momentum. Within a single breath, it reached twenty meters.

In the blink of an eye, with a WHOOSH, it expanded just like the Golden Cudgel, shooting straight up to thirty meters, matching the Purple Gold Snake in height.

At the same time, the Gu Snake’s aura intensified, coalescing into a colossal presence. Its golden light blotted out the sky, making it seem as if a True Dragon cast from solid gold was soaring majestically into the heavens.

The sky flickered between light and dark, as if the surrounding space had been completely overwhelmed by its aura.

BOOM! Forty meters...

”Careful, or your great-grandma might just scare you to death.” The Golden Silkworm Gu Snake now had the form of a Snake but Appeared as a Dragon, incomparably mighty as it gazed disdainfully at the sky.

’This Snake Demon...?!!’

’Does it have to be like this? I’m thirty meters, so you go to forty. What is this, a height competition?’

”Hmph...”

How could Tu Xiao’an allow himself to be outdone? A terrifying aura erupted from him as his thirty-meter body changed again, visibly rocketing to forty meters.

’Are you kidding me? I was already thirty meters long after Devouring the Vampire Snake.’

’Now that I’m Level 29, how could I still be just thirty meters long?’

’I was just trying to keep a low profile.’

By the time Tu Xiao’an transformed into a forty-meter Purple Gold Snake, he was completely dumbfounded. The other snake was now fifty meters long.

’Is this thing really fucking competing with me over height?’

It was a good thing this area was hidden from view. Otherwise, the people of Wencheng would be dropping dead from fright.

”Grow... grow... grow...”

Refusing to be beaten, Tu Xiao’an’s body began to expand rapidly again, reaching fifty meters.

”Not bad, Little Snake Spirit. To have such power before you’ve even become a true Demon.” As the glittering golden Gu Snake spoke, it grew to sixty meters.

’I really want to curse this thing out,’ Tu Xiao’an thought. ’So what if you’re a Rank Three Snake Demon? Are you bullying me just because I haven’t achieved true demonhood yet?’

’Forget it. This old Demon is too petty, always needing to have the upper hand.’

’What does fifty meters even look like? It’s a moving skyscraper!’

’It could open its cavernous maw and swallow a semi-truck like a toy.’

At this point, Tu Xiao’an stopped growing. He had reached his limit. Unless he used a Strength Potion, he couldn’t get any bigger.

Besides, his opponent was at the Demon King Level and had been in Cultivation for who-knows-how-many years. Competing with it over size seemed rather meaningless.

’What an impressive Golden Silkworm Gu Snake.’

A glint flashed in Tu Xiao’an’s eyes. ’Looks like I’ve found the Snake Species for my third-stage evolution.’

His first evolution was triggered by a Mutated Crowned King Snake, granting him the power of Thunder. His second was with a Mutated Bloodsucker Snake, granting him Flame. Now, at Level 29, he was about to undergo his third evolution.

’The goal, then, is to Devour this Golden Silkworm Gu Snake.’

’A Snake Species at the Demon King Level, right in front of me. Nothing could be more perfect.’

The only problem was that Tu Xiao’an didn’t have enough Evolutionary Energy yet. Devouring it now would be a waste, as he couldn’t immediately initiate his third-stage evolution.

He had to be at least Level 30 to begin his third-stage evolution.

Moreover, the situation had developed far beyond Tu Xiao’an’s expectations. Who the hell knew that the great-grandmother of a prominent hidden family would turn out to be a Snake Demon that had undergone Transformation?

’And a fucking Demon King Level one, at that.’

This put Tu Xiao’an in an awkward position. He had assumed his opponent was a spent force, but that clearly wasn’t the case.

’I’m not sure I can beat it. Even if I do win and Devour it, it’s a waste of resources right now. And subduing it would be even harder.’

’Even if I did manage to subdue it, I’d probably be too reluctant to use it for my third evolution later on.’

A fifty-meter Purple Gold Snake hovered proudly in mid-air, while opposite it, the glittering golden, draconic-looking Golden Silkworm Gu Snake was even more terrifying in its disdain.

For a moment, both sides remained motionless, neither making an immediate move.

It was almost as if they had grown so large just to breathe the fresh air high in the sky.

Tu Xiao’an had his reservations, while the Snake Demon, having been injured in the previous battle, was far less confident than it appeared.

It desperately wanted to know how a mere Snake Spirit could be so powerful. Who could possibly tell it?

As the two Giant Snakes were locked in a stalemate...

Suddenly, the sealed-off space rippled. A beautiful figure appeared like a fleeting shadow, materializing bizarrely in the air between the two colossal Giant Snakes.

She looked like a Nine Heavens Fairy descending to the mortal realm, her white robes fluttering. She was breathtakingly beautiful, her exquisite face a mix of demonic allure and playful charm.

One had to admire the figure’s courage, daring to appear before two such incomparably massive Giant Snakes. A single bite from either one, and she wouldn’t even be enough to get caught between their teeth.

Before Tu Xiao’an could get a clear look at the newcomer, the opposing Golden Silkworm Gu Snake cried out in surprise, ”Big Sister, what are you doing here?”

’Holy shit?!?’

’Big Sister?’

’The Snake Demon has a big sister? What’s going on here...’

But in the next second, Tu Xiao’an’s expression turned strange, then to shock, and he fell completely silent.

”The two of you should stop now.” Her voice was ethereal, her white robes fluttering around her stunningly radiant face.

The Golden Silkworm Gu Snake said, ”Big Sister, this Snake Spirit dared to challenge his superior. Let your little sister swallow him alive, then I’ll come catch up with you.”

”Li’Er, listen to me. Return to your human form first, then we can talk. He is my friend.”

The woman in white flew up before the Golden Silkworm Gu Snake. Facing a sixty-meter Giant Snake whose single pupil was the size of a person, she showed no fear at all. In fact, she was smiling.

”Be a good girl...”

The Golden Silkworm Gu Snake seemed a little shocked. It glanced at the Purple Gold Snake across from it, then, surprisingly, it obeyed. Its golden light flickered as it began to shrink.

The woman in white then flew over to the Purple Gold Snake and teased, ”Do you still want to fight? How about I keep you company?”

”And you claimed you weren’t a snake,” Tu Xiao’an said, utterly speechless. The woman in white was none other than Luo Ziyun, the enigmatic noodle shop owner he was so wary of.

He had left her noodle shop only a few hours ago.

”Would you please give me a good explanation?”

Luo Ziyun smiled. ”Why so interested in my identity? I came to stop this fight for your own good. You can’t beat her.”

”Heh...”

’If I went all out,’ Tu Xiao’an thought, ’I’d have at least a fifty-fifty chance.’

’It’s just that it hasn’t reached the point where I need to risk my life. This Snake Demon is just a tricky opponent, that’s all.’

’Or maybe the timing just isn’t right.’

But Luo Ziyun’s sudden appearance was something Tu Xiao’an had never anticipated, especially hearing the Snake Demon call her ”Big Sister.”

’What’s with this? A real-life version of the White Snake and the Green Snake?’
