Chapter 92: An Unexpected Development

"I've made you worry." Feng Zi responded to Qing Lin's concern while dodging the ambush from the Demon snake.

He suddenly realized that although the Demon snake's movements were very fast, they were not as impossible to observe as he had imagined:

As long as he maintained maximum focus, avoiding its offensive, or even meeting it head-on, was not an impossible feat.

After one failed strike, the giant black snake did not continue to attack, but instead observed the two walking side-by-side with suspicion:

It could clearly perceive that the cyan aura contained power beyond its imagination.

If the other party hadn't already locked onto it, it would have fled far away long ago!

Yes, although the Demon snake itself was also confused, in its perception, Qing Lin's existence was a pure, "colored" aura.

And the Feng Zi it perceived was a more chaotic aura—

Although this aura's strength seemed very weak, the "essence" it contained was far more formidable and more disordered than that cyan aura!

Facing these two existences that were like natural enemies, for a moment, the Demon snake did not know what to do and could only remain in a stalemate with the two.

"What's the situation?" Feng Zi looked at the Demon snake's hesitant appearance, and for a moment, he was also somewhat confused.

But now was not the time to be dazed; he said to Qing Lin in a low voice: "Yue Yu, help me harass that Demon snake."

"You don't need to push the other party too hard; you only need to lock onto its 'seven inches' and disable half of its attack methods. Leave the rest to me."

Hearing this arrangement, Qing Lin turned her face and looked at Feng Zi in confusion:

She did not understand why, with the strength of either one of them, they could easily kill this snake, so why was Feng Zi always so timid?

In fact, this was not the first time Qing Lin had had this doubt—

Ever since they had been acting together, Feng Zi seemed to never correctly understand the gap in strength between the enemy and themselves, always appearing overly cautious.

Is he testing me? Qing Lin thought to herself.

Seeing Qing Lin's expression, Feng Zi thought she didn't know what "seven inches" meant and explained in a low voice:

"The so-called 'seven inches' is the area below the snake's head and above its abdomen; that is where the snake's heart is located, its most vulnerable spot, enough to make it hesitate to act for fear of damaging something valuable."

Seeing Feng Zi explain in such detail, Qing Lin thought it over and decided not to dwell on this question anymore.

Forget it, Feng Zi is so smart; there must be a reason why he thinks this way.

Thinking this in her heart, Qing Lin nodded slightly and said: "Understood."

Seeing this, Feng Zi shouted sharply: "Move!"

Before the words had faded, the two figures darted out, one striking its head and one striking its tail, leaving the Demon snake no time to think at all.

Facing the pincer attack from Feng Zi and Qing Lin, although the Demon snake's intelligence was not inferior to a human's, it truly had no time to think.

In desperation, the other party had to avoid Qing Lin's offensive, protect its vital points, and swing its tail toward Feng Zi, hoping to replicate the previous result.

Seeing the snake tail sweeping toward him, Feng Zi exerted force with his feet and met the blow head-on with his hands.

The huge force slammed into his arms like a giant hammer; Feng Zi felt a numbness in his arms, as if his arm bones had been shattered.

But he still resisted the blow, and the internal injuries in his arms healed rapidly under the surge of Qi and Blood Power.

Facing this scene, Feng Zi's guess was verified, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes:

Sure enough, even though the Demon snake's strength was on par with a Peak Grandmaster, his own strength was not something an ordinary Transformation Realm could reach; he could barely fight it!

His hands flashed again with a luster like metal, and he slammed a punch into the Demon snake's thick torso.

But to Feng Zi's surprise, the Demon snake's body was truly too slippery—

So much so that his attack did not exert its full power, and his fist was deflected by the smooth scales!

The Demon snake also reacted at this moment:

After barely dodging another strike from Qing Lin, it suddenly lowered its body and surrounded Feng Zi, wanting to strangle him to death with its immense strength!

Facing this scene, Feng Zi was overjoyed:

He was worrying about how to catch this slippery Demon snake, and he didn't expect the other party to deliver itself to his doorstep.

In fact, for the Demon snake at this moment, it had already lost sufficient judgment—

In its perception, these two terrifying auras were existences that could not be provoked, and it had no courage to fight them at all.

But when facing the pincer attack of the two, no matter how it thought about it, it could not think of any way to escape alive.

Therefore, in order to fight for that glimmer of survival, it had to resort to this desperate move.

As the Demon snake's constriction became increasingly suffocating, the Qi and Blood Power within Feng Zi's body slowly gathered into his fists, preparing to paralyze it in one blow.

But for Qing Lin, who saw this scene, how could she understand Feng Zi's plan?

Seeing Feng Zi entangled by the Demon snake, her heart was already in chaos.

When she saw Feng Zi mobilizing his Qi and Blood Power without making any resistance, Qing Lin's heart was filled with anxiety.

"Did Feng Zi really mess up?" This was the only thought in her mind at this time.

In this situation, she had lost her composure and had long since thrown Feng Zi's previous arrangements to the back of her mind—

No matter what the arrangement was, could it be more important than his safety?

Neither of the two in the struggle reacted in time before Qing Lin transformed into a cyan stream of light, closing in under the Demon snake's head.

Without waiting for the Demon snake to respond, her right hand turned into a claw shape and pierced into the Demon snake's abdomen...

Just a little bit more, and Qing Lin would have grabbed the Demon snake's Demon core!

Under the crisis of life and death, the instinct of a living creature completely suppressed the Demon snake's intelligence.

The giant black snake immediately abandoned all actions and struggled to escape from Qing Lin's hand.

Under Feng Zi's dumbfounded gaze, the Demon snake struggled and fled into the distance in a very ugly posture.

He reacted immediately; the Demon snake was already seriously injured, and now was the perfect opportunity to pursue the victory!

Although the development of the situation was slightly different from his plan, an opportunity was an opportunity—

Feng Zi could not care about responding to Qing Lin's concern and immediately operated his movement technique at full power, chasing after it: "Quick, chase!"

Qing Lin immediately understood Feng Zi's idea and, without any hesitation, immediately chased after it.

Everything happened so quickly that by the time Lu Hanwen and the others struggled to stand up and move toward Feng Zi's position, the dust had already settled.

Just as Yue Hong and his fellow disciples were filled with suspicion and uncertainty, Lu Hanwen and Li Shou exchanged a glance and said in unison, "We will pursue as well!"

Having said that, the two of them joined Feng Zi's action without the slightest hesitation.

They were not looking to claim credit, but had coincidentally thought of a possibility:

That snake Demon was already injured, and with Feng Zi and Yue Yu pressing it step by step, it would inevitably fight to the death!

With the two of them there, they could at least add a measure of combat strength.

And by the time Yue Hong and the others reacted, the four of them had already vanished without a trace.
