Chapter 363 (2/2)

The snake moved at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed. With a silver flash, it was already far away from Xiang Shaoyun. This was a speed much faster than even some Demon Kings.

”Young Master Xiang, I'll help you capture it,” Du Xuanhao volunteered.

”No, this is a good chance for me to test my new speed,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a faint smile. He stamped his foot on the ground and shot toward the snake like an arrow.

When Xiang Shaoyun was at the Transformation Realm, he was already as fast as a King. Now that he was actually a King, his speed was even scarier. The term “fast as lightning” would not be an exaggeration to describe his current speed, a speed absolutely faster than a fourth-stage, or even fifth-stage, King.

Even so, the horned lightning snake was able to take advantage of the forest's terrain with its small size to keep a large distance from Xiang Shaoyun. He might be fast, but he was not as nimble as the horned lightning snake. In this kind of terrain the snake held the advantage.

Xiang Shaoyun grew anxious when he saw the horned lightning snake getting farther and farther from him.

”It is rare for this young master to have his eyes set on something. How can I let you escape me?” Xiang Shaoyun roared as his aura soared. Using the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps, he continued the pursuit.

Overlord's Nine Nether Steps, crossing worlds with a single step.

All along, Xiang Shaoyun had only been able to unleash a tiny portion of the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps' true prowess. It was one of the most powerful footworks in existence, and without a corresponding strength, one would not be able to display its true might.

But because Xiang Shaoyun was now finally a King, he could finally show the true power of the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps. He took one step forward and instantly covered a large distance, as if s.p.a.ce itself had shrunk before him. Instantly, he was several meters ahead, the terrain and natural obstacles posing no problem to him.

Devouring Ghost was following behind Xiang Shaoyun, and when he saw the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps, he praised inwardly, The young master is looking more and more like master when he was young. He is starting to grasp the true meaning of this Overlord's Nine Nether Steps. If he can comprehend this footwork's intent, it is possible to further increase his speed by two or three times.

Soon, Xiang Shaoyun caught up to the snake and reached out to grab it. The dexterous snake immediately dodged to the side, successfully avoiding Xiang Shaoyun's grip.

”That's a decent reaction time, but you won't be able to escape me,” Xiang Shaoyun said as he s.h.i.+fted the trajectory of his hand and clawed at the tree the snake had hidden behind.

Bang!

The thick tree immediately exploded as the claw continued forward to grab at the snake. The snake soared to the sky instead, not willing to keep tangling with Xiang Shaoyun.

With the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps, Xiang Shaoyun reappeared in front of the horned lightning snake. ”Both of us possess innate lightning power within us. Only by joining hands can we become stronger.”

Xiang Shaoyun then activated his lightning bone, flooding his entire body with a boundless lightning energy. The purple radiance around his body converged and took the form of a purple dragon with a tinge of silver. With its head raised high, the dragon stared straight at the horned lightning snake.

The horned lightning snake sensed a power compatible with its own, and the sense of intimacy with the power caused the snake to stop running. It slightly relaxed its vigilance against Xiang Shaoyun.

”Stop hesitating. Just come with me. I will treat you well and will ensure you get the chance to evolve into a dragon in the future,” persuaded Xiang Shaoyun. He then started approaching the horned lightning snake one step at a time, trying his best to look friendly.

But when Xiang Shaoyun was right in front of the horned lightning snake, the look in its eyes suddenly changed as it attempted to bite Xiang Shaoyun.
