Chapter 141
"Thud!"
Kuchiki Senya fell, crushing many plants.
The Poison Snake Man leader stood where it was, one hand gripping Kuchiki Senya's feet, while the other hand hammered frantically at Kuchiki Senya's head.
"Bang!" Kuchiki Senya tilted his head, dodging the Poison Snake Man leader's iron fist, and delivered an elbow strike to its chest, knocking it over.
"Puchi!"
The Poison Snake Man leader spat green juice, then shook its head and stood up.
This toxin was extremely violent; even for Kuchiki Senya, his head felt somewhat dizzy at this moment.
"Roar!" The Poison Snake Man leader roared in anger, then stepped forward and rushed toward Kuchiki Senya.
"Slap!" Kuchiki Senya kicked the Poison Snake Man leader in the cheek; the leader was kicked flying and fell to the ground.
Kuchiki Senya immediately pounced over, slashing his sword toward the Lizardman leader's neck, intending to sever its head.
But at this moment, the Poison Snake Man leader suddenly extended a claw, grabbing Kuchiki Senya's wrist.
"Sizzle!" Corrosive liquid dripped down, the smell of rotting flesh wafted out, and Kuchiki Senya's skin instantly turned charred black.
"Ah..." Kuchiki Senya cried out in pain, hurriedly letting go, then pulled his sword and stabbed toward the Poison Snake Man leader's heart.
"Clang!" With a crisp sound, Kuchiki Senya's short sword was caught by the Lizardman leader's fingers. It looked at Kuchiki Senya with contempt: "Lowly human, you dare to kill the great Lizard King?"
Lizard King!
This term represented the supreme monarch among the Lizardmen, and was also the Lizardmen's faith; it was the spiritual symbol of the Lizardmen, the totem and belief of countless Lizardmen.
The Lizard King was the Holy Emperor among the Lizardmen, ruling over them.
However, the Lizard King had already vanished for a hundred years.
"Die!" The Poison Snake Man leader whispered, using all its strength, preparing to attack Kuchiki Senya.
But Kuchiki Senya immediately grabbed the Poison Snake Man leader's body.
"Boom!" The Poison Snake Man leader tore with all its might, ripping off its own arm to break free from Kuchiki Senya's control.
"Swish!" The Poison Snake Man leader turned into a phantom and swept before Kuchiki Senya, its sharp tail whipping over fiercely.
Kuchiki Senya's expression was grim. His figure flashed, narrowly dodging the Poison Snake Man leader's tail, but the tail grazed his cheek, leaving a bruise.
"Bang!" In the next moment, Kuchiki Senya's knee struck the Poison Snake Man leader's chest, knocking it to the ground.
The Poison Snake Man leader stabilized its figure and immediately sprang up.
"Whoosh!" The Poison Snake Man leader opened its mouth to bite Kuchiki Senya's throat, its fangs shimmering with a cold light.
Kuchiki Senya's eyes narrowed slightly, his body lowering to avoid being bitten by the Poison Snake Man leader, then he raised his short sword and slashed fiercely at the Poison Snake Man leader's waist.
This sword contained hidden force; if the Poison Snake Man leader were hit, it would surely die with its intestines and stomach shredded.
"Ding!" The Poison Snake Man leader's body twisted and shifted, dodging Kuchiki Senya's sword, then a claw slapped Kuchiki Senya's shoulder, sending him flying backward.
"Cough, cough!" Kuchiki Senya coughed a few times, then struggled to stand up from the ground; two of his ribs had been broken by the Lizardman leader's claw.
Kuchiki Senya felt extremely cold inside, while secretly rejoicing; if he had been hit carelessly just now, he would have been dead long ago.
The Poison Snake Man leader attacked again, its speed as fast as a ghost, arriving in an instant.
Kuchiki Senya hurriedly raised his sword to block.
"Clang!"
Sparks flew everywhere. The Poison Snake Man leader grabbed Kuchiki Senya's left arm holding the sword with one hand, then pulled with a sudden force, instantly ripping Kuchiki Senya's left arm off.
Kuchiki Senya's right hand could not be used; he was crippled at this moment.
196. Severe Injuries
The Poison Snake Man leader grinned hideously, a claw slashing viciously toward Kuchiki Senya's head.
Kuchiki Senya's eyes widened; he did not expect the Poison Snake Man leader to be so cruel, wanting to crush his head on the spot.
"Boom!" Kuchiki Senya exerted all his strength, then kicked the Poison Snake Man leader in the crotch, knocking it over.
"Ah!" The Poison Snake Man leader screamed, then fell into the mud and rolled in pain; blood flowed from its crotch, staining a patch of muddy ground red.
"Bastard, I'll fight you to the death!" The Poison Snake Man leader struggled to crawl up from the ground, then pounced toward Kuchiki Senya.
"Boom!" Kuchiki Senya punched out, hitting the Poison Snake Man leader's abdomen fiercely, sending it flying.
The Poison Snake Man leader's body slammed into a large tree, then fell to the ground.
The Poison Snake Man leader lay on the ground, panting heavily; clearly, its injuries were severe.
Kuchiki Senya walked over slowly, gripping his short sword tightly, then stabbed out.
This sword aimed straight for the Poison Snake Man leader's throat; if it were hit, death would be certain.
Fear appeared in the Poison Snake Man leader's eyes; it hurriedly rolled away, dodging Kuchiki Senya's sword.
"Boom!" Just as the Poison Snake Man leader dodged the short sword, it felt a sharp pain in its back; Kuchiki Senya slashed its back with his sword, nearly costing the Poison Snake Man leader its life.
"Damn human, how can you still use hidden force?" The Poison Snake Man leader was terrified.
Hidden force was a power unique to martial artists; once possessed, one's strength would increase.
However, the Poison Snake Man leader knew clearly that this human before it did not have hidden force, which was why it had been able to defeat him easily.
But this guy was clearly already severely injured, so why could he still erupt with such terrifying power?
Kuchiki Senya said coldly: "The war between our human race and the orcs has never stopped! Our ancestors have fought against powerful enemies from the Demon Realm, so I know how to use hidden force!"
Hearing this, the Poison Snake Man leader was shocked, its eyes filled with even more terror.
The Poison Snake Man leader had originally thought that Kuchiki Senya was just a weak, ordinary human; it didn't expect this guy to be a descendant of an ancient human civilization.
"Roar!" The Poison Snake Man leader roared in anger, then pounced toward Kuchiki Senya again.
This time, the Poison Snake Man leader used its full strength, rushing toward Kuchiki Senya with extreme ferocity.
"Bang!" Kuchiki Senya brandished his short sword to block, then staggered backward, nearly falling to the ground.
"Hiss, hiss~~~" The Poison Snake Man leader pounced toward Kuchiki Senya with extreme ferocity, biting toward Kuchiki Senya's neck.
Kuchiki Senya's gaze was icy; he swept his leg horizontally, forcing the Poison Snake Man leader back, then took the opportunity to create distance.
Seeing that it had missed, the Poison Snake Man leader pursued Kuchiki Senya again.
However, Kuchiki Senya was very vigilant and unwilling to let the opponent get close; every time, he only needed to delay the Poison Snake Man leader's speed slightly, and it would be enough to escape.
"Shoo!" Suddenly, a sound of breaking air rang out, and a bullet carrying blue electric arcs shot through the swamp, hitting the Poison Snake Man leader.
The Poison Snake Man leader groaned, sent flying by that bullet, and slammed heavily into a giant rock in the distance, causing the entire mountain to tremble.
"Who?" The Poison Snake Man leader looked around in panic.
"We finally found this bug!" At this moment, three knights rushed over from the distance, arrived before Kuchiki Senya, and surrounded him.
These three were the three humans who had just escaped; they had been terrified, then fled into the nearby forest seeking shelter, and finally encountered the Poison Snake Man in the depths of the forest.
"Three warriors!" Kuchiki Senya breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was fine for now, his body was weak, and his combat power had dropped severely.
197. Unable to Hold On
If the Poison Snake Man leader continued to attack him, he might not be able to hold on.
"You are that human, right? Truly too weak; I could swallow you in one bite!" The Poison Snake Man leader grinned hideously.
"Is that so?" Kuchiki Senya said coldly: "I remember you are the Poison Snake Man leader, right? Today, I'll use you to start."
"Arrogant, do you think you've won against me? I tell you, my strength is still very strong." The Poison Snake Man leader roared, then rushed to Kuchiki Senya, its claws extending, grabbing fiercely toward Kuchiki Senya's head, wanting to dig out Kuchiki Senya's head alive and suck the highly corrosive liquid.
Kuchiki Senya snorted coldly, a hidden force condensing into a dagger, then quickly stabbed into the Poison Snake Man leader's brow, killing it.
This Poison Snake Man leader's strength was indeed extraordinary; in such a state, it still posed a huge danger to Kuchiki Senya.
"Thank you for saving our lives!" The three fugitives bowed to Kuchiki Senya in gratitude.
"You're welcome, I was also hired to come here," Kuchiki Senya shook his head, then asked: "Which country's people are you?"
The three looked at each other, then said with pale faces: "We are members of the Milan Empire's Royal Guard, I am called Oscar."
"So it's the Royal Guard!" Kuchiki Senya suddenly realized; no wonder these people's strength was not bad.
"Which country's people are you? Why help us?" Oscar asked, looking at Kuchiki Senya in confusion.
"Not important. I just heard of your heroic deeds, so I helped out," Kuchiki Senya said lightly.
"So that's it, then... thank you!" Oscar gave a solemn military salute to Kuchiki Senya, then said: "If you don't mind, may we borrow your company to rest for the night?"
"You may!" Kuchiki Senya nodded.
He was severely injured now, and hungry and thirsty, so he indeed needed to rest and recover.
And this group of soldiers should all be elite soldiers of the Milan Empire, their strength quite impressive.
With the help of Kuchiki Senya and this group of soldiers, he successfully escaped the swamp area, then found a village nearby, preparing to rest for the night.
In the village, Kuchiki Senya found a few clean rooms, then arranged for these soldiers, and went into seclusion to heal.
"Roar!" While Kuchiki Senya was cultivating, a small black snake quietly crawled to Kuchiki Senya's side, opened its mouth, bit the clothes on Kuchiki Senya's waist, then tore it off, threw it into its own mouth, and chewed it with relish.
