Chapter 103: Snake Transformation
The black energy mass, about a zhang in size, flashed and arrived behind Zhang Nuo. Feeling the astonishingly powerful Spiritual Pressure behind him, Zhang Nuo swept it with his Divine Sense and understood what was happening.
Although he had a earth-attribute Talisman for protection, he still dared not be careless. Six Flying Swords flashed rapidly out of the "Nine Dragon Sword Case" on his back, and in a flash, they all transformed to a zhang in size, shielding his entire body within them.
With a loud "Boom—" sound, the energy mass released by the black snake head struck Zhang Nuo squarely! The massive black radiance surged toward the surroundings like ocean waves.
At the same time, the hearts of Zhuge Qing and the others sank! Being hit by such a powerful attack, Zhang Nuo's chances of survival were slim; even with the protection of a defensive Talisman, he would likely not escape death!
Seeing that the strike had hit Zhang Nuo, the black snake head let out a long cry as if in revenge; the grudge of its severed horn was finally avenged! But just at this moment, from within the black radiance that had not yet dissipated, a figure stumbled out and fled extremely rapidly to Zhuge Qing's side.
The gazes of Yu Lei and the others froze, and they all looked toward the person who had escaped from the black radiance—who else could it be but Zhang Nuo? At this moment, Zhang Nuo was in an extremely wretched state; the Golden Light of the earth-attribute Talisman that had protected his body had already vanished, and his pale blue robe was more than half shredded.
Blood seeped from places on his exposed skin; no one could count how many wounds there were! Seeing that Zhang Nuo had survived, Zhuge Qing felt a surge of joy. With a movement of her Divine Sense, the Moonlight Wheel expanded several times in size and blocked in front of the two.
"Are you alright!"
Looking at Zhang Nuo with some worry, Zhuge Qing felt that asking this was somewhat redundant as she said it; to be hit by such a large black energy mass, it would be strange if he were alright.
"I'm fine!"
Zhang Nuo bared his teeth and quickly recalled ten Flying Swords with his Divine Sense, storing six of them back into the Sword Box. Simultaneously activating ten Flying Swords had almost reached Zhang Nuo's limit; due to his cultivation level, the more Flying Swords he activated, the more Spirit Power it would consume! To save some Spirit Power, he had to withdraw six.
However, it was precisely these six Flying Swords that had helped him block the majority of the attack, saving his life at the critical moment. Glancing at his body, Zhang Nuo let out a bitter laugh; the earth-attribute defensive Golden Light he had just activated from the Talisman had completely shattered in a single blow!
But it was thanks to the protection of that light; otherwise, his injuries would certainly have been much heavier than they were now.
Zhuge Qing raised her hand and threw a small white Jade Bottle to Zhang Nuo.
"Take this quickly; it can help you stop your injuries rapidly!"
Zhang Nuo took the small bottle and, without answering, opened the stopper and poured all the Pills in the Jade Bottle into his mouth. Seeing this, the muscles on Zhuge Qing's pretty face twitched rapidly, and she revealed a look of heartache.
The bottle of healing medicine just now was worth at least several hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones. Her original intention was for Zhang Nuo to eat a few pills, but she hadn't expected Zhang Nuo to eat them all in one go! However, in the current situation, there was no time for her to dwell on this.
Just at this moment, a sudden loud sound came, and at the same time, the two-headed snake demon let out an incomparably miserable cry! Zhuge Qing was startled and looked up, only to see Chu Budong's Golden Great Hammer, which had somehow heavily smashed onto the body of the two-headed demon snake.
The gazes of Zhang Nuo and the others looked at Chu Budong in astonishment, seeing him pinching a Dharma seal with both hands, staring at the demon snake with full killing intent! It turned out that while the demon snake was attacking Zhang Nuo, he saw that the Golden Heavy Hammer could move, so he had quietly used his Divine Sense to move the hammer above the body of the two-headed snake.
When the demon snake discovered that Zhang Nuo had not died from its attack, its expression froze for a moment, and it was precisely this short amount of time that Chu Budong had seized.
The huge Golden Heavy Hammer smashed into the demon snake's body! The hammer head, which was a full zhang in size, almost smashed the two-headed snake's body in half!
Zhang Nuo and the others, who had originally been in a passive position, saw that Chu Budong's attack had changed their fate. No wonder the demon snake had been unwilling to let go of the Golden Heavy Hammer earlier; it turned out it was because the attack power of the hammer was too great.
The two-headed snake's scales were extremely strong, but the Golden Heavy Hammer, which relied on weight for its attacks, ignored the snake scale defense, and the force passed through the snake skin directly into its internal body.
"Don't give it a chance to breathe! Everyone attack together! First, cut off the black snake head!"
Seeing that the current situation was favorable to their side, Zhuge Qing naturally would not let such a great opportunity pass. After a cry of surprise, the three of them, including Zhang Nuo, unleashed almost all their divine abilities, and the radiance of Magic Treasures flashed incessantly.
Zhuge Qing's Moonlight Wheel, filled with a large amount of Spirit Power, hummed incessantly, and in the end, it actually slashed toward the black snake head as if out of control.
Yu Lei was the same, injecting almost all his Spirit Power into the Blood-colored Small Sword. The mass of blood-colored light wrapping the small sword twisted and transformed into a giant sword phantom, slashing toward the demon snake without hesitation!
Zhang Nuo naturally would not let this great opportunity pass either. With a movement of his Divine Sense, the four Flying Swords in front of him flashed with white light, leaving behind afterimages in place and turning into four White Threads, rushing toward the black snake head!
The three of them launched their strongest attacks at almost the same time, with the goal of killing the black snake head first!
The two-headed snake, its body pinned by the Golden Heavy Hammer, flashed cold light in its four eyes. Watching the three Magic Treasures attack, the white snake head suddenly let out a long cry and began to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, the white snake head swelled to four zhang in size, safely hiding the black snake head underneath it. After several booming sounds, the three people's Magic Treasures all struck the huge white snake head, but a faint white light flashed on the white snake head, neutralizing all their attacks.
The four people were all dumbfounded; the two-headed snake, which had almost been smashed in two by the Golden Heavy Hammer, actually still possessed such great divine abilities. But what shocked the four of them even more was yet to come.
The huge white snake head suddenly tilted its head toward the sky, and as its mouth opened, two human hands slowly stretched out from within! These two hands were as white as jade, and the slender fingers appeared incomparably tender and smooth, such that even Zhuge Qing felt inferior upon seeing them.
The two hands reaching out from the snake mouth grabbed the upper and lower jaws of the white snake head respectively, and with a sudden exertion of force, a "gurgling" sound came from the huge snake mouth.
Zhang Nuo and the others watched this bizarre scene, their hearts almost in their throats; they had no idea what this two-headed snake was trying to do.
