Chapter 48: Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Snake

Above the Arena.

The King of Slaughter looked down, watching the screams one after another, without a shred of pity in his eyes.

Before long, all sounds came to an abrupt halt, transforming into wisps of white mist that merged into the statues nearby.

Suddenly, the statues' eyes glowed with a blood-red light; the King of Slaughter shouted, and the magic array on the Arena platform activated.

The platform beneath their feet turned into a bottomless hell.

Zhexian frowned slightly, and in the next second, he was sucked into the vortex below.

In a daze, he heard the King of Slaughter's final words.

"I wish you good luck on the Hell Road!"

Then, everything went black before his eyes, and the world turned into darkness...

Hell Road.

Surrounded by pink petals, Zhexian landed slowly on a path filled with magma, situated within a cavern.

There was no sunlight here, only waves of heat erupting from the magma, causing a stinging pain as they brushed against his cheeks.

"Is this the so-called Hell Road?"

"Hiss~"

A series of sounds came from afar; Zhexian frowned slightly and spoke indifferently.

"This is rather interesting!"

He then looked toward the direction from which the sounds originated.

A group of bats was hiding in the shadows; it was they who had made the sounds just now.

Through his perception, Zhexian realized that many bats were secretly spying on him from the structures beneath the current cavern.

Just at this moment, those bats seemed to have sensed something.

A piercing shriek resounded throughout the entire valley.

"Chirp!"

Immediately, this group of bats launched an attack on them with maximum speed.

Zhexian took out his Jade Flute, and a melody began to play slowly.

The flute music was melodious, carrying a cold, Immortal Qi, and instantly echoed throughout the cavern.

The moment those originally ferocious bats heard the flute music, they seemed to be bound by an invisible force, stalling in mid-air one after another, before falling into the magma as if they had lost consciousness, dissipating into clumps of black smoke.

Zhexian put away the Jade Flute, his gaze remaining calm. He knew that these bats were merely small fry on the Hell Road; the true test was yet to come.

Sure enough, the moment the bat swarm was wiped out, a low roar came from the depths of the cavern.

The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, carrying an endless aura of ferocity.

"Finally, something interesting has arrived." Zhexian muttered to himself, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

As the roaring grew closer, the rock walls of the cavern began to vibrate slightly, as if some behemoth were approaching.

A moment later, a massive three-headed bat flew slowly out of the darkness; its body was dozens of zhang in size, each of its three hideous heads possessed blood-red eyes, and when its wings spread, they almost blocked out the sky of the entire cavern.

Each of the three-headed bat's heads opened its blood-filled maw, revealing sharp fangs, while corrosive venom dripped continuously from its mouth, making a "hissing" sound as it landed on the ground.

"Roar!"

The three-headed bat let out a deafening roar and then lunged fiercely at Zhexian.

Its speed was extremely fast, reaching Zhexian in an instant, and all three heads opened simultaneously, spraying three streams of black poisonous mist.

Zhexian flashed, easily evading the onslaught of the poisonous mist.

He raised his hand and waved, and a beam of deep purple destructive light shot straight toward the three-headed bat.

However, the three-headed bat's reaction was also extremely swift; it flapped its wings and instantly dodged the attack.

"You do have some skill, indeed." Zhexian said indifferently, becoming increasingly interested in this three-headed bat.

The three-headed bat seemed to be enraged; its three heads let out piercing shrieks simultaneously, and then it lunged at Zhexian once more.

This time, its attack was even more ferocious; the flapping of its wings stirred up gusts of wind, almost blowing Zhexian away.

Zhexian stood where he was, not moving an inch.

Just as the three-headed bat was about to pounce on him, he flicked his fingertips lightly, and a green aura of life intertwined with a beam of deep purple destructive light, forming a massive blade of light.

The light blade swept across, and the three-headed bat's three heads were instantly severed; its massive body fell into the magma, dissipating into a cloud of black smoke.

Zhexian's gaze remained calm as he continued to walk toward the depths.

The dangers of the Hell Road were by no means limited to this!

Sure enough, the moment the three-headed bat was eliminated, a low roar came once again from the depths of the cavern.

This time, the sound was even more terrifying than before, as if a demon from the deepest part of hell were awakening.

Zhexian frowned slightly and continued to walk forward.

In the depths of the cavern, the heat waves from the magma grew increasingly intense, and the air was filled with a suffocating aura.

Zhexian remained surrounded by pink petals; even in this hellish environment, he maintained his previous elegance and composure.

Suddenly, a massive figure emerged abruptly from the magma pool ahead.

It was a giant snake over a hundred zhang long, its entire body covered in pitch-black scales, with scarlet light flickering in its eyes.

Nine flesh tumors emitting red light were on its body, and it spat out scorching flames from its mouth, as if to burn everything to ashes.

"Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Snake..." Zhexian muttered to himself, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.

The Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Snake let out a deafening roar and then lunged fiercely at Zhexian.

Its speed was extremely fast, reaching Zhexian in an instant, and its massive snake tail swept across, bringing with it a scorching storm.

Zhexian flashed, easily evading the snake tail's attack. He then raised his hand and waved, and a beam of deep purple destructive light shot straight toward the Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Snake.

However, the Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Snake's reaction was also extremely swift; it twisted its body and instantly dodged the attack.

"It seems I must get serious," Zhexian said indifferently, a flash of coldness crossing his eyes.

He raised his hand and waved it, and the Jade Flute appeared in his hand once more. As the sound of the flute began, the pink flower petals all around instantly transformed into countless sharp blades, heading straight for the Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake.

The Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake let out a painful roar, its body sliced with countless wounds by the petal blades.

However, its vitality was extremely tenacious; the wounds healed in an instant, and then it lunged at Zhexian again.

"This guy..."
