Boom!

A huge established tree was split in half by the trunk while its leaves fluttered about. A 3-feet tall red snake swarmed out and whipped its giant tail, sending a youth in black flying.

Deeply wounded, the youth in black spat out a mouthful of blood. His life force had turned weak.

The red snake had weird patterns all over it and a sarcoma on top of its head. With blood-red eyes, it opened its jaws to devour him.

“Big brother!”

In a distance, a simple-looking youth and an adorable woman in red watched with blood-shot eyes. They let out a shout before they dashed towards the red snake.

“You guys, leave. Just leave me!” the youth in black cried out and clenched his teeth as he stood up. He then picked up his long sword and unleashed his body of True Qi before he launched towards the red snake’s eyes.

The swing of this sword was filled with desperation. Even if he was able to blind the red snake, the youth in black would not survive.

The red snake’s eyes spoke of a bantering humane sentiment before it spewed a red flash that hit the sword.

Click!

The long sword exploded which consequently prompted the youth in black to spit another mouthful of mouth. Despair was written all over his face.

Wham!

Just then, a powerful fist cut through the air like flowing lights and smashed onto the red snake’s head.

The red snake hissed out of pain. Its large body had flew dozens of feet away from the punch and crashed to smithereens into an afar boulder.

“Thank you for saving me!”

The youth in black had thought that he was done for and did not think help would arrive at the most crucial moment. Opening his eyes to a handsome youth, he cupped his hands in a fist to express his gratitude.

“Thank you, sir!”

Thankful, the simple-looking youth and adorable woman headed towards Ling Xiao to express their gratitude.

However, the youth in black’s face stiffened upon noticing Ling Xiao’s cultivation. He said, “Sir, we have to leave this place quick. That creature may look like a mid-second stage demonic beast, but it’s harder to handle than a second stage peak demonic beast!”

The youth in black was at sixth tier True Qi Boundary while the simple-looking youth and adorable woman were at third tier True Qi Boundary. They were no match for the Dark Dam Red Snake even when they joined forces. There was no doubt Ling Xiao would end up a prey with his cultivation at ninth tier Pulse Unsealing Boundary.

The youth in black estimated that only a Spiritualization Boundary master could kill this Dark Dam Red Snake.

“It’s too late!”

Ling Xiao smiled. At that moment, the Dark Dam Red Snake had picked itself up. Its ferocious head hung high as it released a cold inauspicious aura. Its bloody eyes were fixed on Ling Xiao and the trio.

Overwhelmed by the crippling aura, the trio’s faces turned pale.

“We’re done for! This red snake moves extremely fast. We might have a chance to escape before but now we’ll die in the belly of this snake. I’m sorry to drag you in this!” the youth in black exclaimed out of his wits. He had lost the will to fight.

“D*rn it, why is this snake demon so hard to defeat? It’s only a mid-second stage demonic beast but it’s as powerful as a second stage peak demonic beast!” The simple-looking youth was unwilling to resign to his fate.

“It’s no ordinary snake demon but to say we’ll die in its belly, I don’t think this creature will have that pleasure!” Ling Xiao dully responded as a cold glint flickered in his eyes.

Wham!

Ling Xiao initiated the attack on this Dark Dam Red Snake. Putting his Longevity Footwork to full display, he shot over like lightning and pulled a punch on the snake.

“Sir, no!” The youth in black burst out with bated breath but it was too late to stop Ling Xiao.

“This red snake is too strong. I’m afraid he won’t be able to defeat it. Let’s strike together to save him!” Although the adoration woman was pale, she made a stand.

“Yes! Wait for my call and we attack!” The youth in black gritted his teeth. His eyes reeked of madness as he let out a tremendous fighting spirit.

The Dark Dam Red Snake was fully prepared as it spewed a smelly black glare against Ling Xiao’s attack.

This was Dark Dam Red Snake’s venom; it would turn anything to pus upon contact.

The venom shot flew rapidly and it was about to strike Ling Xiao. However, he was as calm as ever when he took a turn and moved a foot to an unbelievable angle midair before he slid a powerful fist on the Dark Dam Red Snake.

Thump!

Ling Xiao’s punch, as if it had solidified the surrounding air into it, unleashed a force of gruesome energy that sent the Dark Dam Red Snake flying off.

There was no point in stopping once he was at it. As a quick flash of glow past Ling Xiao’s eyes, he continued with a set of Lesser Titanium Punch. Powerful and domineering, his radiant fists stirred the air and left behind faint afterimages as they slammed onto the Dark Dam Red Snake. The Dark Dam Red Snake could only hiss in pain.

Wham!

The Dark Dam Red Snake then lashed out its huge tail but Ling Xiao dodged it easily. Instead, a huge boulder was whipped to pieces.

As if it had gone mad, the Dark Dam Red Snake attacked its surroundings, spewing venom and whipping its tail all around. However, it still could not catch a glimpse of Ling Xiao.

Rumble!

Shocked, the trio’s jaw dropped at the sight of the trembling earth and scattering of branches and leaves.

“How… How could be this?” the simple-looking youth said with a face of disbelief.

“This man is only at ninth tier Pulse Unsealing Boundary, yet he’s able to unleash such combat effectiveness. Could he be some genius disciple from the major sects?”

The youth in black’s eyes revealed an extremely excited look as he could finally lay his concern to rest.

“Big brother, he’s part of our Longevity Sect!” With bright eyes, adorable women commented under her breath.

“What?!” The youth in black and simple-looking youth were both stunned.

“This man is cultivating the Lesser Titanium Punch, an Onyx superior martial arts that only a legacy disciple can cultivate. Senior Brother Deng Yalin of the Law Enforcement Hall exercised the Lesser Titanium Punch before. Although the force he displayed was stronger than this man’s, its exquisiteness can’t be compared!” the adorable woman explained.

“Legacy disciple? He’s only at Pulse Unsealing Boundary, how could he be a legacy disciple? We’re familiar with the dozen of legacy disciples in Longevity Sect but we have never seen this man!” The youth in black was confused.

Whilst the trio was engaged in conversation, the Dark Dam Red Snake began to show signs of defeat in the hands of Ling Xiao. Its attack had weakened and its eyes spoke of fear.

Knowing how terrifying Ling Xiao was, it turned around in an attempt to flee into the depths of the dense forest.

“Trying to leave? It’s best you stay behind!”

The ground under Ling Xiao’s feet shook, prompting the half-broken sword to bolt out of the ground and into his hands. At the flash of sword radiance, the broken sword was flung towards the Dark Dam Red Snake.

This sword arched in the air like a magnificent levitating god, paling the world into insignificance.

Pft!

At the splash of blood, the broken sword had penetrated the Dark Dam Red Snake’s head and pinned the snake onto a huge tree in a distance.

The Dark Dam Red Snake breathed its last before it could let out a scream.
