As for what he was going to do after becoming the strongest being of all, Ye Chen did not have the faintest idea. He only knew he did not want to experience the kind of helplessness and despair that he had felt earlier anymore and to be in control of his own fate!
A strange power circled Ye Chen’s body. The Nine Astras in his body started undergoing slight changes. Ye Chen seemed to have heard the sound of a butterfly breaking out from the cocoon, which was extremely subtle as if the sound originated from a place deep within the etches of the soul.
When Ye Chen closed his eyes, he felt like he saw an endless, vast grassland that was lush and bustling with life. A butterfly that was bathing in sunlight was seen fluttering skyward.
The sky above was still in a scuffle. However, Tantai Ling seemed to have sensed something and she glanced at the inn below.
Tantai Ling was a devoted martial artist. She constantly pursued martial arts, moving forward and defeating one powerhouse after another. She felt that she was on the verge of a breakthrough, so she kept searching everywhere for powerful enemies, yet she could not find a matching opponent. Today, she was able to feel the energy of a powerhouse from a human who was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Ye Chen’s selfless behavior of saving those three ordinary people puzzled Tantai Ling a little. The roar that the gold-armored soldier let out earlier was full of grief and power, and this power shuddered her soul a little. She had yet to understand why such a terrifying power could be unleashed from an incomplete externalized Psyche.
The Winged Serpent was jolted to a moment’s pause too after feeling the gold-armored soldier’s howl. There were already several glaring scars oozing out fresh blood on its body. If not for its strong recovery ability, it would have been killed by Tantai Ling long ago!
The Winged Serpent initially thought that the gold-armored soldier was Tantai Ling’s aide but after seeing Tantai Ling’s expression, it knew it was not.
The poisonous mist around the Winged Serpent’s body morphed into several shapes of snake demons, which lunged toward Tantai Ling with opened jaws and exposed claws.
“Die!” The Winged Serpent cried. The black mist in the sky billowed around like a prancing group of devils.
“I’ve traveled thousands of miles to get here and this is all you have to offer? Boring. Let’s end this!” Tantai Ling turned to face the sky full of snake demons transformed by the dark mist and then froze her gaze. Within an instant, she reappeared right above the Winged Serpent in the air.
“How can this be?” The Winged Serpent felt like it had lost control of everything suddenly. In the blink of an eye, Tantai Ling had already appeared directly above it. The Winged Serpent hastily hoisted his six weapons and smashed them at Tantai Ling.
The Winged Serpent’s several-hundred-meters-long body charged toward Tantai Ling but all she did was remain still. She thrust the trident in her hand at her incoming enemy elegantly.
Ding Ding Ding!
All six weapons that the Winged Serpent was holding broke into half right away.
Blood splattered around as the trident impaled the Winged Serpent, plunging the weight of its humongous body down to the ground. With a final loud bang, the Winged Serpent was nailed to the ground by the trident. A few dozen houses collapsed as the aftermath and the entire town was sent into waves of quakes.
Such was the power of a mighty blow!
After the Winged Serpent was nailed to the ground, it turned into a billow of dark mist and quickly fled the scene.
Seeing the Winged Serpent escaping, Tantai Ling did not chase after it either. She gestured with her right hand and the trident returned to her grasp. She then looked toward the inn. With a bang, half the roof immediately collapsed.
