Chapter 2203

Snake blood sprayed everywhere, the Abyss Snake raised its serpentine body, its hiss was deafening, and layers of air waves rippled outward.

After hissing for a moment, the Abyss Snake realized Su Xiao had not charged, so it lowered its head, looking down at Su Xiao; its single eye gradually turned fierce, and the slash mark spanning its entire head healed rapidly.

Black smoke emerged around the Abyss Snake but dissipated quickly; this was some kind of ability of its. Just now, it had tried to trick Su Xiao into charging, but Su Xiao, relying on the warning from his Intuition, had dodged this unknown ability.

Su Xiao activated the Apostle's Eye, and ripples of fluorescent light emerged on the Abyss Snake's body surface, only to evaporate quickly—detection failed; the Abyss Snake had exempted itself from the Apostle's Eye's investigation.

Su Xiao thought that this must be an item the Abyss Snake had obtained from the Death Paradise by relying on its role as the guardian of the "Space-Time Hub Device."

The Abyss Snake no longer hid its combat power; its snake body unfurled, and that massive head suddenly appeared before Su Xiao.

Its blood-red maw opened, and the Abyss Snake's mouth was filled with sharp fangs, six rows in total, top and bottom, looking exceptionally ferocious.

Bang!

The Abyss Snake's massive mouth closed, emitting a sound like wooden boards slamming together; the horror of its bite force even generated a layer of air waves, blowing away the maple leaves near Su Xiao.

Su Xiao landed in a backward-leaping posture; the moment he landed, he crouched, the ground beneath his feet caved in rapidly, and he launched himself like a cannonball, pouncing directly in front of the Abyss Snake.

Puchi!

Zhan Long Shan plunged into the Abyss Snake's skull, and the Abyss Snake's huge mouth opened, emitting a painful hiss. This time it wasn't a disguise; being stabbed in the skull by Su Xiao's blade, combined with the erosion of the Qing Gang Ying energy, the feeling was imaginable.

A massive force traveled from the hilt; due to the difference in size, after the Abyss Snake raised its head, Su Xiao, who was gripping the hilt tightly, was also lifted, but this was exactly what he wanted.

While in mid-air, Su Xiao exerted force with his right arm, using the long blade stabbed into the Abyss Snake's skull to leap directly upward. When dealing with enemies of similar size, leaping high in combat is indeed courting death, but when dealing with a giant creature, it is necessary.

Su Xiao's figure flipped in mid-air; his back faced the sky, and he faced the Abyss Snake below.

Ding~

The long blade returned to its sheath, and Su Xiao slowly took a breath.

Zheng, Zheng, Zheng!

Three intersecting slashes flew out, and the next moment, they struck the Abyss Snake's head and body.

The blade slashes cut through the black scales on the Abyss Snake's back, and shattered scales splattered everywhere. The Abyss Snake twisted its massive body and turned to bite at Su Xiao.

Sensing this, Su Xiao frowned. He had been vigilant about what strange abilities the Abyss Snake might have, but fighting until now, the Abyss Snake had done nothing but ram and bite with that blood-red maw. It looked like it was preparing to swallow Su Xiao.

Su Xiao descended rapidly, and the Abyss Snake raised its head high, its massive mouth opening to nearly 90 degrees, swallowing Su Xiao in one gulp.

With a crisp sound of the blade, the Abyss Snake had just swallowed Su Xiao when it immediately opened its mouth, violently shaking its head in great pain.

With a swish, the blade slashes broke through its body, and large patches of black scales flew up, each one the size of a washbasin.

Boom!

The Abyss Snake's entire lower jaw fell to the ground, and it was in such pain that the scales all over its body began to tremble.

The crystal layer stained with snake blood shattered on Su Xiao's body surface. He frowned as he looked at the Abyss Snake; this big boss he had searched for an entire world for seemed... a bit weak.

That's right, this was the feeling the Abyss Snake gave Su Xiao. The opponent was like a wild beast, with no other abilities, fighting only by relying on that massive body. Even so, Su Xiao did not underestimate the Abyss Snake.

Blood energy surged wildly with Su Xiao as the center point, and as soon as the blood energy spread, he disappeared from where he stood.

Streaks of pale blue blade slashes appeared suddenly; the Abyss Snake could no longer keep up with Su Xiao's speed. Deep, bone-reaching slash marks appeared on the Abyss Snake's body, and snake blood dyed the surrounding maple trees red.

The Abyss Snake began to ram around, but it couldn't hurt Su Xiao at all.

Amidst the swirling maple leaves, the Abyss Snake's eyes suddenly looked at Baha. Baha had not joined the battle but was circling above.

Hum~

A wave spread, and the Abyss Snake's single eye began to turn azure; that vertical pupil stared fixedly at Baha above.

Seeing this, Su Xiao stepped forward a few paces and unleashed an upward slash.

The slash cut open the Abyss Snake's body, severing its massive head, which slammed into the ground with a boom.

"Boss, something's wrong with me, it wants to control me!"

Baha's shout came; at this moment, its eyes had turned azure, the same color as the Abyss Snake's pupil just now.

Baha flew toward the distance; now, every few seconds, it would be subjected to a check. The first check was lucky—it was an Agility attribute check.

After flying a distance, Baha dove from the sky and slammed fiercely into a distant mountain peak. Its check failed, and it was about to be controlled by the Abyss Snake, so it let itself temporarily lose the ability to act.

In the stone pit of the mountain peak, Baha's body twitched twice.

"If you have the ability, keep controlling me."

Baha had hit hard, and the Abyss Snake, which had been decapitated, reacted even more violently. Its headless snake body rolled incessantly, and the mouth of the severed head was wide open.

"You are one of the two strongest humans I have ever seen."

The Abyss Snake's headless body stopped struggling, the blood at the stump stopped, and granulation tissue surged rapidly. A new head grew out, but it was still a single eye; that eye blinded by the long weapon clearly could not be restored through regeneration.

The Abyss Snake's head rose, and its body coiled rapidly like a small hill. In terms of vitality alone, the Abyss Snake was quite formidable, definitely in the top tier of the sixth tier.

Boom, boom...

Muffled sounds came from within the Abyss Snake's body. Seeing this, Su Xiao leaped back repeatedly; he felt that the Abyss Snake could explode at any moment.

A flesh tumor grew out behind the Abyss Snake's head, blood splattered, and the tumor shattered, revealing the upper body of a human. He was handsome, with a pair of flesh wings on his back and a single horn on his head, but his eyes were snake pupils.

"After I sealed the Abyss Cave, you were still able to find this place; it is worthy of praise."

The man with the single horn spoke; there was no doubt that this was controlled by the Abyss Snake.

"I originally didn't want to disturb his eternal sleep, but if we keep fighting like this, I will die."

Zheng!

A blade slash struck, hitting the single-horned man and cutting him directly in two. Su Xiao would not listen to the Abyss Snake's nonsense.

"If you can defeat him who is already in eternal sleep, then you have won."

The single-horned man descended slowly, and sparks emerged from the stump of his body. Starting from these sparks, he turned into ashes.

The coiled Abyss Snake stopped moving; the black scales all over its body began to turn white, its size shrank rapidly, and finally, it formed a human shape.

Spatial fluctuations emerged, an array appeared above, and dozens of various weapons fell from the array.

Ding~

A long spear nailed into the ground; the spear was nearly three meters long in total, the spear blade at the tip was over half a meter long, and below the spear blade was a horizontal straight hook blade. Overall, this hooked spear looked very ordinary, the most common weapon on the battlefield.

"Bai Ye."

A somewhat aged voice came, and a figure stood among the maple trees; his body was covered in black scales, and he was carrying clothing in his hand.

The Abyss Snake—no, Su Xiao's current opponent was no longer entirely the Abyss Snake.

The fragments of words left by everyone who had fought the Abyss Snake were strange because their opponent was not the Abyss Snake at all. The Abyss Snake's strongest ability was not its vitality, nor that massive body, but its ability to use itself to "reflect and summon" deceased powerhouses.

When Iwell fought the Abyss Snake, the opponent was the Son of the Ancient Dragon, Los, "reflected and summoned" by the Abyss Snake, so Iwell was willing to die in that battle. Unfortunately, she did not get her wish.

When the Iron Feather King fought the Abyss Snake, the opponent was the First Saint-Born King. In the end, the Iron Feather King won, but due to the situation in the Kingdom of God, the Iron Feather King did not kill the Abyss Snake, but instead made an agreement with it that the Tianba and Sera would not invade each other.

It was precisely because of this ability that the Abyss Snake had performed so poorly in the battle just now.

And now, the Abyss Snake had "reflected and summoned" the strongest deceased powerhouse, the Iron Feather King.

The Iron Feather King walked forward slowly. At this time, he had put on the loose clothing the Abyss Snake had prepared for him. The lack of battle armor made him feel slightly regretful.

"Crawl, if you want to win, put away this despicable ability of yours."

The Iron Feather King gripped the hilt of the hooked spear. As soon as his voice fell, the black snake scales on his body quickly faded, and the vertical pupils in his eyes turned into human pupils.

The Iron Feather King had completely returned to his appearance before death. At this moment, his aura surged significantly. Although he had a head full of white hair, he was not decrepit; the Iron Feather King was in his current appearance during his peak period.

"Is the spear blade stronger, or is the blade edge better?"

The Iron Feather King spoke in a low voice. He waved the hooked spear in his hand, and a large patch of maple leaves on the ground surged. Just by standing there, he gave off an extremely strong sense of oppression. Everywhere the spear blade reached was a forbidden zone for living beings.

Su Xiao walked forward slowly. When he was more than ten meters away from the Iron Feather King, he stopped. He held his long blade slanted toward the ground. The warm-up just now had put him in a very good state. Whether the upcoming battle would be a victory or a defeat, he could not judge, but that was not important. To feel fear before the fight even started—that would be a total defeat.

More than ten meters apart, Su Xiao and the Iron Feather King looked at each other. A wild wind blew through the maple forest, lifting a large patch of maple leaves.

"Come, let's fight, Bai Ye."

Amidst the drifting maple leaves, the Iron Feather King stood with his hooked spear.

"Good."

Su Xiao spoke before the battle, which was very rare. However, his conversation with the Iron Feather King was very brief, totaling less than ten words. Once, in a wooden house in Arans City, the two could remain silent for a whole day.

The battle between Su Xiao and the Iron Feather King was a contest of techniques; a moment of distraction would mean defeat.
