Chapter 421

Fortunately, Chuixue was pulled away, or she would have been directly tackled by the Ancient Snake.

"Be careful, this Ancient Snake isn't ordinary!" Longjuan said to the two beside her.

Chuixue nodded, not daring to speak another word. Banggu also watched the Ancient Snake with great caution.

"What do we do now? Are we just going to stay stuck here like this?" Chuixue asked weakly.

Longjuan glanced at the massive Ancient Snake and said, "Either we hold our ground, or we fight— which one do you want?"

This question truly left Chuixue speechless.

"I… I don't know either!"

Banggu quickly interjected, "Don't do anything reckless—you two. This Ancient Snake is no easy opponent."

The moment Banggu finished speaking, the Ancient Snake took several more steps toward them.

The three of them were backed into a corner.

The Ancient Snake's huge head slowly drew nearer, as if sizing up its prey.

"Then let's fight!" Longjuan said, leaping out and landing atop the Ancient Snake's head.

The Ancient Snake was startled by this move and began thrashing violently.

Seeing her sister act, Chuixue naturally couldn't let her fight alone.

She too leapt up.

The two attacked the Ancient Snake from left and right.

But the Ancient Snake showed no reaction at all to their attacks.

Their strength drained rapidly, yet the Ancient Snake remained completely unaffected.

Banggu quickly rushed forward to assist.

"Longjuan, Chuixue, let's all focus our attacks on its head!" Banggu shouted.

"Got it!"

The three of them concentrated their efforts on striking the Ancient Snake's head. Indeed, this time the Ancient Snake finally showed some reaction.

"Keep it up! Its head is the key!" Longjuan realized that only attacks on the head elicited any response—otherwise, it showed none.

The three launched their final strike, aiming to end it outright—but the Ancient Snake let out a deafening roar.

With a powerful lurch, it flung Chuixue and Longjuan off its head, catching them completely off guard.

The Ancient Snake grew furious, roaring continuously.

"Is it screaming because it's in too much pain?" Chuixue felt a flicker of pity.

Unfortunately, she didn't know this was the Ancient Snake summoning its partner—soon there would be two Ancient Snakes, not just one.

The three stared in confusion at the Ancient Snake's roar, but dared not advance.

Soon, they noticed something was wrong—a heavy footstep echoed from around the corner ahead.

Luo En was now searching in the direction Longjuan and Banggu had gone.

He had been searching for a long time, yet hadn't detected even the slightest sound from them.

"Chuixue! Longjuan! Where are you?!"

Luo En shouted upward, completely ignoring his footing.

Suddenly—zip! —he felt weightlessness, then plummeted downward.

The Ancient Snake around the corner appeared—it was slightly smaller than the first, clearly a male and female pair.

"We're doomed! What do we do now?!" Chuixue stared at the two massive Ancient Snakes before her and already imagined writing her last will.

Longjuan glanced at Chuixue and said, "You and Banggu handle the female—I'll take the male. Today, either they die, or we do."

Saying this, Longjuan immediately lured away the male, separating the two Ancient Snakes.

"Let me teach you a lesson!"

With a powerful kick, Chuixue leapt onto the Ancient Snake's back.

She punched its eye. Banggu, seeing this, rushed to help. This female was indeed tougher, but not as difficult to handle as the male.

Chuixue and Banggu exchanged blows, spinning the Ancient Snake around like a top.

"Hey, where's your ultimate move? Use it!" Chuixue shouted at Banggu.

"Flowing Rock Shatter Fist."

Banggu charged toward the Ancient Snake.

In an instant, beams of light appeared around the Ancient Snake, encircling it.

A crackling sound rang out—and the Ancient Snake collapsed to the ground, barely alive.

"Oh? Looks like you've got some skills after all—nice job!" Chuixue quickly praised Banggu.

"I've always been this good, you know! This is just a minor scene!" Banggu felt deeply pleased despite himself.

The two had defeated the female—but they had made things far worse for Longjuan.

Longjuan had already gained the upper hand, but upon sensing the female's distress, the male Ancient Snake's physical condition underwent a drastic transformation.

Suddenly, the Ancient Snake went berserk, charging recklessly at anything and anyone in its path.

Longjuan found no opening at all, and was accidentally flung several meters away.

Chuixue and Banggu rushed over.

"Sister, be careful!" Chuixue shouted to Longjuan.

Longjuan leapt into the air and kicked the Ancient Snake.

The Ancient Snake was knocked sideways onto the ground. Seeing this, Chuixue and Banggu immediately rushed forward.

All three assumed the Ancient Snake was utterly exhausted, so they lowered their guard slightly and moved closer.

The Ancient Snake rolled over in one swift motion, unleashing its immense power outward and slamming all three into the wall.

"Bang!" All three of them were slammed against the wall and fell down.

The ancient serpent advanced toward them step by step. It seemed that it had become like this because its mate had died.

And this posture clearly meant revenge.

He sucked in sharply toward Dragon Whirlwind; Dragon Whirlwind spun and soared upward, causing the ancient serpent to miss.

Seeing it could not reach Dragon Whirlwind, the ancient serpent switched its target.
