Chapter 427

Wang Yuping extended his hand, signaling the other to pay.

After all, knowing when to stop is a fine tradition that Qingluan Peak has always upheld.

"I'll give it to you once we're out; we've run out of spirit stones on us."

Lin Yunzhong felt somewhat helpless but could only endure it with patience.

"That works too. Senior Brother, write an IOU here; it's a guarantee for both of us."

Wang Yuping took out paper and brush from his storage space and handed them over.

Lin Yunzhong's face darkened, and finally, he signed it with some reluctance.

After seeing the signature Lin Yunzhong had written, Wang Yuping handed the paper and brush to Wei Xiang.

Though Wei Xiang was also unwilling, he had no choice; when under another's roof, one must bow his head, so he grudgingly left his famous name on the paper.

"Alright then, Senior Brother, here you go."

Looking at the two names on the IOU, Wang Yuping put it away with satisfaction, then handed the four elixirs he had just taken out into their hands.

After swallowing the elixir, Lin Yunzhong felt a warm current within his body; the scripture within the body began to slowly recover, and he gradually became spirited.

"Ah, where is my Senior Brother? Has he been swallowed by that snake beauty?"

When Wang Yuping came to his senses and looked for Lin Bai, he found that Lin Bai had long since vanished, leaving only the thousand-year snake beauty coiled in place.

In fact, Lin Bai had not been swallowed, though it made little difference compared to being swallowed.

Lin Bai was tightly wrapped by the other's snake body; the other intended to suffocate Lin Bai.

Lin Bai's hands and feet could not move; he saw the snake body tightening further and further, the air gradually thinning.

Just as the thousand-year snake beauty thought she was about to kill the other, she felt a burning sensation in her own body; in pain, she immediately flung Lin Bai away.

After breaking free from the bonds, Lin Bai gasped for air, glancing at the jade pendant on his chest—that was the one he had not yet explored.

If not for this jade pendant, he would probably have wasted some more time before breaking free.

Yet before Lin Bai could catch his breath, the other's attack launched once more.

The entire palace began to tremble; Lin Bai could clearly feel the other's powerful pressure releasing comprehensively.

Lin Bai felt an indescribable sensation in his heart.

Within moments, Lin Bai was suppressed by this pressure until he could not breathe, directly kneeling on the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

On the other side, Wang Yuping and the others protected by the Chaos Bell were fine, showing no excessive reaction.

The three inside the Chaos Bell could not help but grow worried as they watched Lin Bai.

"Not good; this thousand-year snake beauty is enraged. I'm afraid Lin Bai is no match for her."

"Wang Yuping, do you have any way to put away this Chaos Bell?"

"I want to go help him."

Lin Yunzhong fixed his gaze on Wang Yuping, but Wang Yuping only shook his head; he had no way to handle this matter either.

The three could only watch helplessly like this.

Lin Bai tightened his grip on the Holy Sword in his hand and supported himself as he stood up from the ground.

Holding the Holy Sword tightly in his hand, he charged toward the thousand-year snake beauty.

And he stabbed fiercely into the other's tail.

Because of the pain, the thousand-year snake beauty flung Lin Bai away the very next second.

And she charged straight at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai frowned, gripping the Holy Sword in his hand even tighter.

Just as the other charged forward, Lin Bai rushed toward the other's vital seven-inch point.

Just as Lin Bai was about to make contact, a powerful force pushed him away.

He fell heavily to the ground once more, instantly spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

Wang Yuping could only fret helplessly inside the Chaos Bell, unable to offer any assistance.

"I truly underestimated you."

Lin Bai spat out the remaining blood in his mouth and simply sat on the ground, giving up.

He let the other attack him.

And the thousand-year snake beauty directly opened her bloody maw, swallowing Lin Bai whole into her belly.

"It's over, it's over; how am I supposed to explain this to Master?"

Wang Yuping cried out in alarm, extremely anxious.

And the Chaos Bell before them, seemingly unable to sense Lin Bai's presence, directly lost control and fell quietly to one side.

Wang Yuping and the others were thus freed from their bonds.

"Wang Yuping, take Wei Xiang and the others and leave first; I'll stay behind to save Lin Bai."

Lin Yunzhong frowned and took out his spiritual treasure.

The snake beauty, satisfied, flicked her snake tongue, turned her body, and quickly charged toward Lin Yunzhong and the others.

Just as she was about to touch the few of them, the thousand-year snake beauty stopped, then looked toward the direction of her own belly.

Beams of Jin Guang shot forth from her abdomen, within which the laws of the Dao seemed to flow; her body began to gradually change.

"What is going on? It feels like her body is shrinking."

Wang Yuping watched all this with his mouth agape; the next second, they found the other collapsing with a loud crash, and at the same time, the other's mouth opened, and Lin Bai was actually spat out directly.

After Lin Bai emerged, the other's body became like a small snake, only the size of a palm, looking somewhat cute.

The next second, to everyone's shock, it crawled over to Lin Bai's side.

"Potato, I want to take a bath."

Lin Bai rested for a while, then sat up straight.
