Chapter 146 - Truthfulness and Goodwill (1/2)

Boom boom boom!

Those little snakes started bursting into pieces when they touched that fluttering gauze dress. It turned out that the white gauze dress was a spirit artifact too!

Tantai Ling stretched out her right hand. The complexion of her arm was as fair as white jade. With a single wave of her right hand, the trident which floated in mid-air was returned to her right hand. In an instant, energy more powerful than the Winged Serpent was unleashed.

“Amateur trickery! For an ancient mystical being like you, don’t tell me that’s all you got? Show me what you’re truly capable of!” Tantai Ling said indifferently. Her delicate cheeks looked like they were encased by a thin layer of frost, seemingly making it difficult for others to see through her true emotions.

The Winged Serpent was infuriated after hearing Tantai Ling’s words. It morphed out six arms from his serpent body. With three on each side, each arm held various weapons such as forks, halberds, and axes. The Winged Serpent then charged toward Tantai Ling.

Boom boom boom!

Clang clang clang!

The sound of fierce collision echoed over the town like a bout of thunder.

The two engaged themselves in a fierce battle. For a moment, the entire place was enveloped in darkness and countless demon snakes were flying in the sky. It looked as if they had descended to the very bottom of hell.

The gray mist kept tossing and turning around Tantai Ling as if it was trying to devour her. However, the light on Tantai Ling’s body was as bright as a scorching sun. None of the flying demon snakes was able to touch Tantai Ling as they blew up into pieces within meters of her.

“Take this!” A giant bow appeared in the hands of the Winged Serpent and three arrows were fired toward Tantai Ling.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Three arrows were shot on the Tantai Ling’s white gauze dress.

Boom boom boom! The arrows exploded one after another. Tantai Ling remained unscathed and her face still bore that same frosty look.

“Child’s play.” Tantai Ling held the trident nonchalantly.

Ye Chen scanned the entire place with his Astral body. All the elderly in the town hid in their houses. They had no idea what was happening outside and they were terrified.

To them, this was probably like the end of the world.

Ye Chen looked upward. The black mist and rainbow-colored light constantly intersected. The terrifying energy that erupted from that made Ye Chen feel like he was standing by the sea, facing stormy waves. He started to feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

In the face of such colossal force, it dawned on Ye Chen how feeble he was. No matter the Winged Serpent or Tantai Ling, both could have easily killed him. No, he must make himself stronger! Ye Chen let out a loud growl of frustration in his heart.

Boom!

Along with a loud bang, a rainbow-colored beam of light enclosed the mist and blasted toward one of the townhouses.

Ye Chen’s Astral Body scanned through that house and he saw an old couple. They were hugging a little girl who was about eight or nine years of age. They were hiding in the corner of the bed, trembling with fear.

“Grandma, grandpa, what’s going on outside?” Amid her fear, there was still a tiny glint of curiosity in the little girl’s clear bright eyes.

“There’s a warrior outside and he’s helping us to get rid of the snake demons. When we wake up tomorrow, we won’t have snake demons here anymore.” Despite being scared himself, the old grandfather still comforted the little girl by caressing her little forehead.

“Really?” the little girl asked excitedly, “Shall we go and help him?”

“This warrior is very powerful, so he doesn’t really need our help.” The grandmother looked at her granddaughter lovingly.

“When I grow up, I want to be a warrior too,” the little girl said firmly. In her young mind, she already had countless aspirations to be like that demon-slaying warrior.
