Chapter 105: Time

Four people, within the "Xiao Liu Paths Sumeru Array," were locked in a desperate struggle against the evolved two-headed demon snake. The brilliance of various Magic Treasures flashed incessantly, while the demon snake, having evolved, possessed greatly increased strength, neutralizing the majority of the attacks with just a pair of palms.

Moreover, looking at its demeanor, it was still quite at ease! Conversely, Zhuge Qing and the others were the exact opposite, each exhausted and drenched in sweat, their expressions extremely grim. Even more terrifying was that the Spirit Power within their bodies was being depleted rapidly; except for Zhang Nuo, everyone's Divine Sea was nearing exhaustion!

Time! What was even more fatal was time! The "Xiao Liu Paths Sumeru Array" could only exist for the duration of one incense stick. If the time ran out and the array collapsed, without any constraints, the two-headed snake's strength would increase by another large margin. In that case, even if Zhang Nuo and the others wanted to escape, they would have no chance!

The four of them calculated the time in their hearts; more than half had already passed. If they could not kill the demon snake now, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Zhang Nuo swept his eyes over the three of them, seeing that they were all at the end of their rope, though Zhuge Qing was still slightly stronger than Yu Lei and Chu Budong.

With a movement of his Divine Sense, the four Flying Swords he had just launched flew back to his side. Watching the demon snake, which was constantly waving its hands to block various Magic Treasures, Zhang Nuo took a deep breath!

Just at this moment, the demon snake moved in a bizarre fashion, reaching Yu Lei's proximity in a flash. Yu Lei's Blood-colored Small Sword had just been unleashed, leaving him without any defense for the moment!

However, Yu Lei's reaction was swift. Although he was greatly alarmed, he still retreated, rapidly widening the distance between himself and the demon snake!

A flash of murderous intent crossed the eyes of the black snake head. After a sharp screech, the snake head suddenly elongated, opened its mouth wide toward Yu Lei's head, and bit down!

"Watch out!"

Zhuge Qing was struck with terror. At such a distance, with the black snake head extending so quickly, Yu Lei would inevitably be hit. If they lost another cultivator, their chances of victory would become even more remote.

She pointed a jade hand at the demon snake, and immediately, the five-colored spirit light of the Moonlight Wheel flashed as it slashed toward its body. However, just as the Magic Treasure was about to strike the two-headed snake, one of the demon snake's palms struck the side of the Magic Treasure with lightning speed, simultaneously releasing a massive amount of spirit light from its palm.

"Boom!"

After a loud crash, the Moonlight Wheel was knocked several yards away, and the black snake head, which had been lunging forward, extended more than two yards and finally bit down on Yu Lei's left shoulder!

"Ah!"

Yu Lei's facial muscles twisted and distorted in pain instantly, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, and the sweat all over his body soaked his clothes in an instant.

"Brother Yu!"

Seeing this scene, Chu Budong shouted out. Just as he was about to urge his Magic Treasure to save Yu Lei, Zhang Nuo, to his right, suddenly narrowed his eyes. A brilliant light flashed, his hands rapidly formed several hand seals, and at the same time, the four Flying Swords in front of him merged into one, the sword body lengthening rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Following a high-pitched dragon roar, the two-yard-long giant sword transformed into a baring-fanged and clawing Silver Dragon! It flashed and vanished, slashing toward the elongated body of the black snake head.

The Silver Dragon, transformed from the Flying Sword, flashed past the elongated body of the black snake head so quickly that the others didn't even see what had happened!

Yet, in this very instant, a major event occurred. The black snake head that had been biting Yu Lei's shoulder so tightly suddenly lost the light in its eyes and let go as if it had lost its soul.

"Clatter!"

A light sound broke the silent atmosphere. One could see that at the point where the black snake head had extended, a fracture suddenly appeared; the black snake head and the snake body had been cleanly severed by the Silver Dragon transformed from Zhang Nuo's Flying Sword!

"Awoo!"

The moment it felt the black snake head being severed, the white snake head let out a shrill, mournful cry, and at the same time, large plumes of black gas erupted from the spot where the black snake head had been cut, the scene appearing extremely bizarre.

However, Zhang Nuo's attack did not stop. With a movement of his Divine Sense, the Silver Dragon circled in mid-air and slashed toward the white snake head again, though this time, the Silver Dragon's speed was clearly not as fast as before.

A cold glint flashed in the white snake head's eyes. Seeing the Silver Dragon already upon it, it did not dodge, but violently thrust out a palm, white light swirling around its five fingers, and grabbed the head of the Silver Dragon firmly.

At the same time, in its other palm, black light gathered rapidly, and it struck the Silver Dragon!

With a "Bang!" the Silver Dragon was scattered. A flash of white spirit light appeared, and it returned to the form of a Flying Sword. Seeing this, Zhang Nuo was horrified and hurriedly moved his Divine Sense to retract the Flying Sword.

Due to Zhang Nuo's previous attack, the battle situation within the array had reversed. Originally, the two snake heads, one black and one white, cooperated with each other, making them difficult to kill, but now that the black snake head had been slain by Zhang Nuo, only the white snake head remained, and the difficulty of killing it had dropped significantly!

Zhuge Qing and Chu Budong both looked at Zhang Nuo with incredulous eyes. Having fought the two-headed snake for so long, he actually still had the Spirit Power to unleash such a massive technique.

At this very moment, Zhuge Qing finally understood: Zhang Nuo must be a Dual Spirit Sea Cultivator. Otherwise, in a situation like the Trial Ground, even if he had Pills to quickly recover Spirit Power, it would be impossible to unleash such a powerful attack instantly.

It seemed she had been right to bring Zhang Nuo into the Nanxuan Sect. Such a cultivator would surely stand out among her generation within a few decades!

Although she was happy, Zhuge Qing had no time to think about these things now; she had to seize the time to kill the white snake head as well!

Just as she was about to urge her Magic Treasure to attack the white snake head, the surrounding scenery suddenly shattered like a mirror. This immediately caused the young woman's face to change color!

This sight was exactly what the collapse of the "Xiao Liu Paths Sumeru Array" looked like. If she calculated by the time in her heart, this array should have taken at least a while longer to shatter, but for some reason, it had collapsed prematurely!

Even though one head of the two-headed snake had been severed, without the suppression of the array, the demon snake's cultivation would still rise by a large margin. By then, if the demon snake wanted to flee back to the "Dark Swamp," they would have no way to stop it!

The shock of Zhang Nuo and the others was no less than the young woman's. Even the injured Yu Lei had an expression of disbelief on his face; his face, which had been twisted by pain, now became even more ferocious!

The shattered array evaporated like air, and the scenery outside was rapidly revealed. Meanwhile, the demon snake's body began to grow larger bit by bit due to the shattering of the "Xiao Liu Paths Sumeru Array."

The complexions of the four people began to turn pale bit by bit as the demon snake's body grew! They knew very well that the demon snake's strength was recovering at a terrifying speed.
