Chapter 102: Distinguishing Primary from Secondary

Zhuge Qing beckoned with her jade hand, drawing the Moonlight Wheel back to her side. Her beautiful eyes were filled with doubt and confusion; she had seen the scene just now clearly. The black snake head obviously did not have the same defensive power as the white snake head, so whenever it encountered a high-power attack, the white snake head would step in to defend.

"The black snake head is mainly used for attacking, and its defensive power is not as strong as the white snake head's. Let's not waste our attacks on the white snake head; we should focus our main attack on the black snake head, or the demon snake's body!"

In just a moment, the young girl understood the priority between them. Avoiding the strong and attacking the weak was a common tactic when facing an enemy. Since the white snake head's defense was strong, she simply decided to ignore it for now.

The three of them nodded in unison upon hearing this. Zhang Nuo could not help but admire Zhuge Qing's keen insight; in just the time it took to turn her thoughts, she had figured all of this out.

Immediately, apart from Chu Budong, the three of them unleashed their Magic Treasures together, attacking the black snake head. However, things were easier said than done. Every time the black snake head was in danger, the white snake head would always move to intercept and resolve it. After several rounds of attacks like this,

not only had the two-headed demon snake not suffered any damage, but even Chu Budong's Magic Treasure could not be retrieved. Watching his Magic Treasure being firmly trapped by the massive snake body, Chu Budong was anxious but helpless!

At this moment, Yu Lei secretly calculated the time in his heart. The battle just now had already consumed a full third of the time. If things continued like this, it wouldn't be long before the Spirit Power within their bodies was exhausted. Once the Small Six Paths Sumeru Array was broken, they would only be waiting for death.

Zhuge Qing felt no better than Yu Lei; she was even more anxious. She had originally thought that with the help of the Array, slaying the two-headed snake would be very easy, but now it seemed she was wrong. The cultivation of the two-headed snake had reached a terrifying level; with the attacks of the three of them, they couldn't even heavily wound the demon snake!

Zhang Nuo had been controlling four Flying Swords to attack in turns, and the scene before him made his heart turn cold. This was the first time he had seen such a powerful demon beast. When the Flying Swords struck the opponent, it was like striking steel; the snake scales, which emitted a black luster, were even harder than an ordinary Small Shield.

Despite the frantic slashing of the Flying Swords, they only left white marks on its surface and could not harm the flesh underneath at all!

The three of them each had their own thoughts, yet their hands did not stop for a moment. Their Magic Treasures flashed with light, raining down upon the snake's body. Just then, as Yu Lei's Blood-colored Small Sword attacked the black snake head, the red blood light enveloping the small sword suddenly surged. After a few transformations, a red small sword phantom about a zhang in size formed on the outer layer of the small sword.

The sword-shaped phantom flickered in mid-air, rapidly changing direction to strike at the demon snake's seven-inch spot! The demon snake had originally not taken any of this to heart, but upon suddenly discovering the giant sword-shaped phantom, it appeared extremely panicked. The white snake head turned and blocked the seven-inch position of its body.

With a loud "Bang!", the giant sword-shaped phantom struck heavily against the white snake head, causing the snake head to sink slightly downward. Seeing this, a murderous intent flashed in Zhang Nuo's eyes. Taking advantage of the white snake head's inability to defend, he cast a spell with one hand, which quickly merged into a Flying Sword in front of him.

At the same time, as he formed a hand seal, the Flying Sword that had just absorbed the power of the spell emitted a soft hum. The foot-long sword body flashed with intense spiritual light, and with a whistle, it transformed into a white "Silver Dragon" nearly two zhang long.

Following a dragon's roar, the "Silver Dragon" formed by the Flying Sword flashed and struck toward the black snake head! Wherever the Silver Dragon passed, the air trembled, accompanied by an immense pressure.

Seeing this, the black snake head was immediately startled, but the white snake head had just defended against the giant sword phantom's strike and had no time to return to defend.

After a sharp "Aow" cry, the black snake head spat out a beam of light from its mouth, hoping to use this force to block the attack of the Silver Dragon formed by Zhang Nuo's Flying Sword!

But just as the black beam of light left its mouth, the Silver Dragon reached it. With a twist of its massive dragon body, it completely shattered the black beam of light. After another dragon roar, the Silver Dragon struck heavily onto the top of the black snake head.

With a loud "Boom—" sound, white spiritual light scattered in all directions, and the dazzling white light illuminated the entire Array like broad daylight. Seeing that the Flying Sword's power was exhausted and it had returned to its original form, Zhang Nuo reached out and beckoned it back.

The momentum of the previous strike was extremely terrifying. Apart from Zhang Nuo, the remaining three were all pleasantly surprised. With the force of that strike, and since the black snake head did not have the defensive power of the white snake head, it would surely be heavily wounded!

The four people looked expectantly toward the black snake head. After the white light dissipated, the complexions of the four turned deathly pale simultaneously, and Yu Lei could not control himself and retreated several steps!

They saw that the single horn originally growing in the center of the black snake head's crown had been forcibly severed by Zhang Nuo's attack. Other than that, the black snake head had not suffered any injuries.

With a sharp "Aow" scream, a large amount of fresh blood gushed from the spot where the black snake head's horn had been severed. The heart-wrenching scream made everyone who heard it cover their ears involuntarily!

It seemed that although it was only a single horn, it still caused the black snake head immense pain! With a flick of its massive snake body, it actually released the Golden Heavy Hammer it had been coiling around! Both the black and white snake heads opened their mouths wide and charged toward Zhang Nuo.

Seeing this, Zhang Nuo was greatly alarmed. It seemed he had completely enraged the demon snake. With no time to think, he slapped his Storage Bag with one hand, and an earthy-yellow Talisman flashed out. Grabbing the Talisman in his hand and infusing it with Spirit Power, the Talisman immediately shone with intense Golden Light, and without a second thought, he slapped it onto his own body.

Instantly, a layer of golden light enveloped Zhang Nuo's entire body. This Earth Attribute Defense Talisman was something he had obtained from a Wuji Sect cultivator he had killed just after entering the Trial Ground.

There were two such Talismans, and Zhang Nuo had never been willing to use them. Now that the situation was critical, he could no longer be a miser. Although this Talisman was worth many Spirit Stones, it was not as precious as his life!

Just as Zhang Nuo activated the Earth Attribute Defense Talisman, the two-headed demon snake reached his side. The black snake mouth aimed at him and suddenly inhaled; in an instant, the surrounding air was sucked into it.

Opening its mouth again, a black gas mass half a zhang in size appeared in Zhang Nuo's eyes.

"Not good!"

After muttering this in his heart, Zhang Nuo's figure flashed several times as he hurriedly fled to the side. Seeing Zhang Nuo trying to run, the black snake head was immediately alarmed. After a sharp cry, the massive snake head swung, and together with the black gas mass at its mouth, it smashed wildly toward Zhang Nuo.
