Maintaining his vigilance, Xiao Chen placed his right hand on the saber hilt. His gaze started to wander around, searching for the hidden Demonic Beast.
Time seemed to stop. Xiao Chen remained motionless as he held his saber hilt. The state of thunder brewed continuously, waiting for the moment his opponent appeared to strike.
However, time passed slowly. One minute, two minutes, ten minutes … soon, half an hour had passed. The anticipated enemy still did not appear.
This was an extremely crafty Demonic Beast. It knew how to wear down its prey's will, putting a lot of pressure on its opponent.
Too much time passed. For an instant, Xiao Chen even doubted his senses. Did I make a mistake? Was the so-called hidden Demonic Beast just me overthinking? There was no Demonic Beast at all.
Xiao Chen wanted to scatter the state of thunder that he had been brewing for a long time. However, the instant his mental state wavered, the scarlet throne between his eyebrows released a bright red light. This caused Xiao Chen to give up on this idea.
As the Evil King's Secret Treasure, the scarlet throne would not give a warning for no reason. My senses are definitely correct, Xiao Chen thought to himself.
Xiao Chen's eyes regained their calm. The scarlet throne in his sea of consciousness immediately stopped moving. Since they wanted to compete in patience, then let's see who could not wait any longer.
"Hu!"
After a long time, a cool breeze suddenly blew. It picked up a few leaves on the ground and flew them towards Xiao Chen.
Unable to endure any longer, is this a psychological battle? Xiao Chen smiled coldly to himself. He did not feel any killing Qi in the cool breeze. So, he ignored the few leaves that flew over. "Hu!
Hu! "
After a long time, four cool breezes blew from the ground. They picked up a large number of leaves and blew them towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's heart was as calm as still water. His gaze remained incomparably calm. His right hand, which was on the saber hilt, did not move; he continued to ignore them.
Following that, a few cool breezes blew occasionally, trying to disrupt Xiao Chen's thoughts and the state of thunder that he had been brewing.
Xiao Chen ignored it. He didn't sense any killing intent. If he acted rashly, he would only make his thunderous strike miss.
The surroundings suddenly became silent. The cool breeze that had been harassing Xiao Chen all this time no longer appeared. That strange silence once again descended upon this space.
Xiao Chen said indifferently in his heart, "It's coming."
Boom!
An incomparably violent whirlwind suddenly surged up from the flat ground. The gale roared angrily and swept up all the fallen leaves on the ground.
The falling leaves obscured Xiao Chen's vision and covered the sky. A terrifying and ruthless aura was hidden in the wind as it swept towards Xiao Chen.
Rumble!
The state of thunder that Xiao Chen had been brewing for a long time erupted at this moment. A bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky like a javelin, piercing through the nine heavens and tearing apart the sky as it fell to the ground.
A long crack immediately appeared in the falling leaves that covered the sky, revealing the mastermind hidden behind the scenes.
Through the crack in the fallen leaves, Xiao Chen saw a huge four-legged snake whose skin color changed continuously. There was a huge crown on the snake's head, and its eyes were deep red.
The snake's skin changed color continuously. Sometimes, it was the yellow of the fallen leaves, and sometimes, it was the transparent color of the air. It was faintly discernible, looking very strange.
However, what surprised Xiao Chen the most was not this. It was actually a snake Demonic Beast with a crown on its head. A snake growing a crown would take at least seven hundred years.
It would take at least seven hundred years. Xiao Chen was very clear on what seven hundred years or more meant.
The Scarlet Crown Snake that he met in the underground world was very horrifying. Xiao Chen clearly remembered how horrifying it was. With just one tail strike, it had shattered the silver warship into pieces.
If the Scarlet Crown Snake turned into a Demonic Beast, its strength would more than double.
The crack in the fallen leaves that was blasted open by the lightning started to close up slowly. The figure of the Scarlet Crown Snake slowly disappeared from Xiao Chen's vision.
"Ka ca!"
The instant the crack in the fallen leaves closed up completely, Xiao Chen immediately drew the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand. A strong wind blew, scattering all the fallen leaves in the air.
Countless arcs of electricity moved about in the air, striking the fallen leaves and giving off a crackling sound. In an instant, all the scattered leaves were smashed into powder.
The hidden Scarlet Crown Snake was completely exposed. Xiao Chen shouted and locked his killing Qi on the other party. Then, he leaped into the air.
Xiao Chen brandished his saber and executed a lightning-quick strike. "Wukui Shakes the Heavens!"
The ancient divine Wukui Tree appeared from nowhere and grew rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it became lush with leaves, covering the sky. It was like a lone peak as it smashed down with the force of thunder.
The hundred-meter-long Crown Snake was as thick as a water bucket. When it saw the divine Wukui Tree descending on its head, its scarlet eyes released a scarlet glow.
It opened its mouth and the surrounding temperature plummeted. A cold light appeared in its mouth. After a while, the cold light exploded and a sharp ice pillar shot out. "Chi!
Chi! "
When the ice pillar came in contact with the Wukui Tree, frost immediately appeared on the surface of the Wukui Tree. The Wukui Tree, which was filled with the berserk power of thunder, was actually frozen solid from the inside out.
Xiao Chen's eyes were filled with astonishment. He said, "How can this be? The Wukui Saber Technique is a sure-kill Martial Technique. Unexpectedly, it was broken in such a way."
When two kinds of energy clashed, if neither side had absolute strength, there would be an intense explosion. There was only one possibility for such an effect. The other party's ice-attributed energy far surpassed the lightning-attributed energy that Xiao Chen could unleash.
Regardless of quality or quantity, it completely surpassed Xiao Chen. Otherwise, the Wukui Tree would have had a chance to explode.
This Four-Legged Crown Snake has lived for at least a thousand years, Xiao Chen thought in horror. It is already a spirit, yet it is so crafty and patient. "Ka ca!
Ka ca! "
The frozen Wukui Tree started to crack continuously. It shattered into pieces of ice and fell to the ground.
Thunderclouds churned continuously in the sky. Xiao Chen looked at the Four-Legged Crown Snake as it flicked its forked tongue in and out. Xiao Chen grasped his saber hilt with both hands and focused. He had never been so nervous before.
Xiao Chen had great strength and a crafty and cautious character. This was a peak Rank 6 Demonic Beast that had lived for a thousand years. It was even stronger than the Scarlet Flame Chief that he met earlier.
"Boom!"
Just as Xiao Chen was hesitating on whether to retreat or not, the scarlet throne mark on his forehead flickered with a scarlet light. The scarlet throne flew out of nowhere.
Before Xiao Chen could react, the strip of cloth on his forehead tore into countless pieces. A scarlet cloud soared into the sky. Above the scarlet cloud, Xiao Chen had unknowingly sat on the scarlet throne.
The instant the strip of cloth tore, Xiao Chen's originally delicate and ordinary aura instantly turned strange. His skin was as white as snow, and the scarlet throne mark on his forehead. When he looked at Xiao Chen, he felt like he was unable to extricate himself from this gaze.
Of course, Xiao Chen did not know about all this. He used his foot to step on the scarlet cloud. The scarlet cloud seemed solid. When he stepped on it, it was like he was walking on flat ground.
The appearance of the scarlet throne surprised Xiao Chen. He did not know what it was trying to do. "Chi!
Chi! "
Just as Xiao Chen was feeling confused, the scarlet throne under him started to slowly seep into his flesh. Soon, a viscous scarlet liquid covered Xiao Chen's skin, forming a scarlet Battle Armor.
The Battle Armor covered Xiao Chen's entire body. It even formed a scarlet helmet on his head, covering all the vital points. The strangest thing was that the insides of the Battle Armor were tightly connected to the cells in Xiao Chen's skin. It was like it was made of flesh and blood.
The Four-Legged Crown Snake's thick limbs stood on the ground. Its scarlet eyes flickered with uncertainty. When the Four-Legged Crown Snake saw Xiao Chen on the scarlet cloud, its skin started to change color, merging with the air.
However, without the cover of the fallen leaves, when Xiao Chen looked carefully, he could see a blurry silhouette slowly moving around him.
When the Battle Armor that the scarlet throne had turned into appeared, Xiao Chen felt that his defense had increased by more than fifty percent. Furthermore, his strength and speed had also increased. It was like his entire body had an inexhaustible amount of energy. His overall combat prowess had increased by fifty percent.
The Secret Treasure refined by the ancient Evil King is truly unfathomable. However, with the help of this Battle Armor, my chances of defeating this thousand-year-old Crown Snake should increase by fifty percent.
Xiao Chen completely dispelled any thoughts of retreating. Now that he had a fifty percent chance of victory, he should go all out.
Xiao Chen shouted and leaped down from the scarlet cloud. Then, he quickly rushed towards the blurry silhouette on the ground.
"Hu chi!"
A huge wind blade appeared out of nowhere. The incomparably sharp wind blade sliced the air in half. It sounded like a piece of cloth being torn apart.
What a fellow! He actually grasped two attributes at the same time. Xiao Chen pushed off the ground with his feet and an explosive force shot out. In an instant, his body soared more than a hundred meters before he landed on a large tree.
In the time that Xiao Chen took to leave, the afterimage he left on the ground was shattered by the wind blade before it could scatter.
The berserk wind blade's momentum did not diminish. It chopped a large tree behind him in half. The cut of the tree was as smooth as a mirror.
It was enough to show how condensed and pure the wind blades were. After flying for a distance of a thousand meters, the wind blades finally stopped moving. In the blink of an eye, the huge wind blade arrived at Xiao Chen's feet and slowly dissipated. Finally, it turned into a berserk wind that carried countless fallen leaves into the distance.
Before Xiao Chen could feel astonished, a strand of frost quickly spread out from the tree below him. In the blink of an eye, it arrived at Xiao Chen's feet.
Startled, Xiao Chen quickly jumped down. The moment he landed, a wind blade appeared out of nowhere. It accurately calculated Xiao Chen's position.
Xiao Chen somersaulted miserably in the air and landed on the ground. Before he could get up, the boundless frost on the ground gave off cold Qi. It formed a circle and quickly moved towards Xiao Chen.
When Xiao Chen looked around, the cold Qi created an icy fog on the ground. It covered an area of more than a kilometer around him, not giving him any place to stand.
How hateful!
Helpless, Xiao Chen could only leap into the air to prevent the cold Qi from binding him.
"Boom!"
The instant the cold Qi gathered, the surrounding temperature dropped by several hundred degrees. A huge pillar of ice shot up from where Xiao Chen stood earlier, heading in the direction that he had jumped.
