Chapter 114: The True Bitter Battle (1/2)

Xu Chen aimed her Crimsonflame Sword at the joining of the python’s two heads.

“Explosive Pierce!”

The moment the sword stabbed through the scales, the explosion effect activated. Several scales blasted off, spraying flesh and blood. One of the python heads was about to bite Xu Chen, but Fang Ye’s bullet instantly struck the python’s head, causing the twin-headed python to shriek in pain. His move saved Xu Chen from her perilous situation.

Zhu Sisi, who had just escaped, immediately followed with a move. As Wu Chi tossed her with all his strength, she once more activated her supplementary pulling ability. Their coordination pushed the speed of her acceleration to its limits. A violet glow appeared on her Martial Goddess’s Boots as she landed a heavy kick on the python’s other head.

“Rapid Strike!”

In less than half a second, three blows struck. The forceful attacks of the three students isolated the two python heads from each other. When this had happened, Wu Chi, who had arrived later than the others, leapt high into the air. Windslash dazzled in his hands as he slashed down heavily on the python head previously shot by Fang Ye.

The claymore clashed with the python’s scales, causing a sharp grinding sound to ring out. It didn’t take long for the scales to succumb and allow Wu Chi’s claymore to cleave into the python’s flesh. Again the python shrieked. It raised its thick, solid tail and whipped it towards Xu Chen’s group, who were on its back.

“Blaze Armor!”

A shield of flame instantly covered Xu Chen’s body. She pulled out the Crimsonflame Sword, and she took the initiative to meet the python’s tail with her own body. As one would expect, the tail sent her flying, but she had managed to buy enough time for Zhu Sisi and Wu Chi to leap off the python’s body, saving them from a dangerous situation.

As they leapt down, Fang Ye launched his fourth attack. This time he aimed and sniped at the joining of the two heads. It was the same spot Xu Chen had blasted off several scales just moments prior.

The shuttle-shaped origin energy bullet drilled straight into the python’s body. The powerful kinetic energy blasted back the python, and an even more miserable cry escaped it, indicating the python’s unimaginable pain. This time the heavy rifle puppet’s shot was right on the mark. If it weren’t for the python’s large size, this single shot would have been enough to end its life.

After his fourth shot, Fang Ye entered a cooldown period, but the python once again crawled up from the ground. Blood gushed from the place Fang Ye’s bullet had struck. The head that had previously released the protective shield spat a clump of mist at its wound. The deep wound immediately healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Bai Xiaofei’s heart sank at the sight of the python’s recovery. The Goldsilver Twin-headed Python was a species that used one of its heads for offense and the other for defense. Normally, each head possessed a single ability. The defensive head, however, had already unleashed two rather impressive abilities.

Unfortunately, they had greatly underestimated this python! It had recovered in a flash and was as good as new. It immediately slammed its body towards its nearby targets: Zhu Sisi and Wu Chi.

“Snowfreeze Pearl, freeze!” a “stone” suddenly roared, which had been standing upright on the side of the road. A frigid surging power blasted the slithering python, slowing its movements.

Zhu Sisi and Wu Chi promptly seized the chance to vanish amid the dense woods.

“Come at me, you stupid hunk!” Chen Hui revealed himself as he taunted the python with his finger. Contempt filled his face.
