Free Web NovelChapter 611: Chapter 611: Angry Waves (End)
Tsss!
The halberd blade of the Overlord Halberd once again swept across the giant python’s body, leaving a deep scar.
The serpent suddenly twisted its form, as if Zhang Yuan’s strike had completely enraged it.
Or, to be precise, it was fed up with Zhang Yuan’s evasive maneuvers.
As the ruler of the waters, the Nu Tao River was supposed to be the python’s domain, where it held the advantage.
However, Zhang Yuan’s prowess in water was formidable, battling back and forth with it without restraint.
Completely unhindered by the water’s limitations.
Moreover, many of the python’s water control and manipulation techniques had no effect on Zhang Yuan.
It had never encountered such a troublesome opponent before!
On the other hand, Zhang Yuan’s attacks continued to hit it repeatedly.
Though unable to truly break its defenses, they irritated the python immensely.
In normal circumstances, its ability to move underwater would be even stronger.
However, having consumed too many cattle and horses earlier, its stomach was bloated with undigested food, hindering its ability to fight efficiently.
Realizing its shortcoming, the serpent planned for a swift resolution!
It suddenly opened its gaping maw, ejecting a stream of malevolent aura from its throat.
The surrounding waters instantly darkened as if ink-drenched, swiftly engulfing Zhang Yuan’s position.
Moreover, the temperature of the water plummeted rapidly, even freezing.
Zhang Yuan instantly felt an invisible yet sinister power swirling toward him, striving to pierce through his protective armor and invade his vital organs.
Despite the True Gang forged armor being able to suppress the sinister aura, the serpent’s high-tier status made its eruptive force terrifying, instilling Zhang Yuan with an instinctive sense of danger.
Without hesitation, he fully activated his Primordial True Gang, as if igniting a barrel of gunpowder, causing a roaring eruption within himself.
Zhang Yuan’s body suddenly swelled, his face turning crimson, and the temperature on his skin surface rose sharply.
His protective armor materialized into a set of pale golden armor, emitting a soft glow that repelled the onrushing sinister aura entirely outside.
"Break!"
Zhang Yuan exhaled and shouted within the water, thrusting his Overlord Halberd straight ahead.
His strike was incredibly fast, amplifying the strength granted by the Black Giant Ant to the limit state of thirty-five times.
Pfft!
The long halberd stabbed right into the giant python’s head.
The serpent was planning to use the cover of its sinister undercurrent to devour Zhang Yuan.
Before its massive jaws could open, the high-tier Profound Soldiers stabbed between its eyes.
This was the weakest part of its python scales!
The sharp and unmatched halberd tip effortlessly penetrated the thin scales and broke through the skull barrier.
It stabbed three to four inches deep.
The sudden explosion of True Gang Power condensed in the long halberd.
Before Zhang Yuan could exert further force, the pained serpent violently whipped its head, forcibly shaking off the Overlord Halberd, its tail shooting back at Zhang Yuan from an inconceivable angle.
Zhang Yuan had just tightened his grip on the Overlord Halberd, when caught off guard by the fierce counterstrike from the serpent.
Upon sensing danger, he found evasion impossible.
Thus, he could only grip the halberd with both hands before him.
Boom!
With a dull thud, Zhang Yuan was blasted backward with the halberd.
Despite blocking the serpent’s counterattack, its terrifying strength made Zhang Yuan involuntarily cough up a mouthful of blood amid the vigor’s backlash.
Whoosh!
The serpent’s tail, like a maggot that clings to bones, relentlessly followed, again harshly striking Zhang Yuan.
This was one of the serpent’s masterful skills; once its tail hit an opponent, it would continuously stack attacks until the target was reduced to a pulp.
Moreover, if the first strike hits, the subsequent strike becomes faster and more precise!
Boom!
Zhang Yuan barely blocked it, accelerating his retreat.
Yet, he coughed up several more mouthfuls of blood, significantly aggravating his internal injuries!
The tide of battle between the two instantly reversed.
Regaining the upper hand, the serpent adjusted its stance, its pair of crimson eyes fixated devilishly on Zhang Yuan, revealing endless greed and cruelty.
For the serpent, devouring a human warrior like Zhang Yuan would provide much greater benefit than countless cattle and horses.
To preserve the "deliciousness," it halted further attacks after three rapid tail strikes.
Because Zhang Yuan seemed incapable of continued fighting, his state deteriorated sharply.
Severely injured, he almost couldn’t hold his weapon.
His face was pale as death!
In the next instant, the serpent, from dozens of steps away, targeted Zhang Yuan suspended in the water with its jaws wide open.
This time, it opened its mouth to its limit—a size sufficient to swallow a robust bull.
Then its throat and the inner esophagus violently contracted, suddenly generating an extraordinarily powerful suction.
The water around Zhang Yuan formed a rapid undercurrent, enveloping him, rushing toward the python’s maw.
But at that very moment, seemingly resigned to fate, Zhang Yuan’s eyes gleamed with an icy killing intent.
He too opened his mouth, expelling a flash of crimson gold blaze from his throat.
Godslaying Flying Knife!
At the crucial moment, Zhang Yuan again deployed his ultimate trump card.
In fact, his seemingly serious injury earlier was largely feigned to deceive the opponent.
To deliver a decisive strike!
Believing victory assured, the serpent, salivating in anticipation, instinctively sensed fatal danger.
Driven by reflex, it attempted to close its mouth, but the Godslaying Saber instantly shot into its gaping maw, swiftly piercing through its inner chamber and emerging from the back of its head.
Pfft!
Leaving the serpent, the Godslaying Saber traced an almost perfect arc in the water, again entering the frontal skull previously pierced by the Overlord Halberd.
Delivering a second blow!
The serpent’s enormous body convulsed violently, its two massive eyes growing lifeless.
Despite its head turned to mush by the Godslaying Saber’s power, its immense life force prevented instantaneous death, even preserving a sliver of spiritual awareness.
In the next moment, its eyes emitted two silver-gray beams, shooting directly at Zhang Yuan!
Its speed was unbelievably fast.
Nonetheless, Zhang Yuan avoided repeating its previous mistake, maintaining high alert despite impending victory.
Without hesitation, he leaned back, narrowly evading the serpent’s final strike.
Failing to take Zhang Yuan down with it, the serpent’s eyes revealed disappointment and despair.
Soon, its life aura plunged to rock bottom, with no further movement.
