409. Chapter 409: Master, are we not going to pursue them?

The Nine Nether Profound Snake is a cold-blooded animal by nature, living in the deep sea year-round; upon seeing this flame, its face turned pale with fright.

He subconsciously took two steps back.

Su Chen did not stand on ceremony with him and threw the flame out directly.

The Nine Nether Profound Snake was so terrified that it lost its wits, immediately and frantically pushing the octopus monster out in its place.

The moment that deep blue flame touched the octopus monster, it instantly roared into a blaze, swallowing the entire octopus monster in the blink of an eye.

"Ahhh! It hurts! Help me!"

The air was filled with the octopus monster's screams; the few people nearby were too terrified to move, and being so close, the scorching high temperature could have roasted them alive on the spot.

The Nine Nether Profound Snake's expression was even more gloomy than water; he stared fixedly at Su Chen, wishing he could hack him into a thousand pieces.

"I merely tossed out a tiny spark, how did it scare you all like this? The renowned Nine Nether Profound Snake, it seems, is nothing more than this."

Su Chen just happened to be adding fuel to the fire right now, smiling, but in the eyes of the Nine Nether Profound Snake, he looked just like a Rakshasa from hell coming to claim a life.

The Nine Nether Profound Snake was truly angered and immediately transformed into his original form; the enormous black python blotted out the sky and covered the sun, making the few people look tiny in his eyes.

He let out an angry roar, and following his movements, deep blue Spiritual Qi swirled around him, making the air seem to become humid and viscous.

Su Chen, who was closest, retreated two steps in surprise, only then avoiding being crushed into meat paste by him.

Its outer skin was extremely tough, and its obsidian-like scales flashed with an unusual luster in the air, making a creaking sound as they rubbed against the ground.

Yi Zhuyue watched quietly and couldn't help but wave her hand, attempting to fan away the thick, fishy stench in the air.

Meng Huo was already so terrified he had lost his wits; it was his first time seeing the Nine Nether Profound Snake's original form, blotting out the sky and sun.

Being too close, Hua Guduo could even see the Nine Nether Profound Snake's golden slit pupils, cold and ruthless.

Because of his anger, the Nine Nether Profound Snake's tail kept swaying, and every so often it would strike the ground, instantly leaving behind a collapsed, massive pit.

"You tiny human, to actually refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, then today I will kill this person first, and then swallow you into my belly!"

The Nine Nether Profound Snake laughed wildly, his gaze turning toward Hua Guduo, his golden pupils devoid of any emotion, as if looking at a dead object.

Hua Guduo subconsciously wanted to flee, but the crab monster blocked her path, attacking from both sides.

Hua Guduo gritted her teeth, watching as the Nine Nether Profound Snake's massive tail was about to descend; taking such a hit head-on, she would be crushed into meat paste even if she didn't die.

Seeing the situation was dire and fearing the Spirit Fire might accidentally injure Hua Guduo, Su Chen subconsciously drew his sword and slashed toward the Nine Nether Profound Snake's tail.

But those scales were incredibly tough; Su Chen's sword strike only left a slight, small nick.

This scene completely enraged the Nine Nether Profound Snake.

It roared incessantly, thrashing its tail violently and making a hissing sound; Su Chen subconsciously dodged, retreating several steps.

In this way, it was simply impossible to save Hua Guduo in a short amount of time.

Hua Guduo had already given up resisting; she only regretted that she hadn't run faster at the time, and now she had become a burden to others.

She clenched her fists tightly and closed her eyes, looking every bit like someone resigning herself to fate.

Meng Huo was likewise heartbroken; he subconsciously rushed forward, intending to rescue Hua Guduo.

But before he could even reach her, Lv Luo used vines to hold him back.

"Chieftain, it's too dangerous, don't go over there," Lv Luo couldn't help but say.

With Meng Huo's cultivation, if he went over now, not only would he fail to save anyone, he would also be crushed into meat paste.

"That is my daughter," Meng Huo struggled for a long time, but unable to move, he couldn't help but collapse to the ground.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he felt he was too incompetent, lacking even the strength to protect his own daughter.

At this critical juncture, Meng Yong suddenly held a sharp blade, hacked open the two crabs, rushed toward Hua Guduo, and pulled her tightly into his arms.

Hua Guduo opened her eyes and saw the blood-covered Meng Yong.

She subconsciously reached out to touch Meng Yong's bleeding neck, her voice trembling and already laced with tears: "Fool, why did you come to save me? It would have been better if I had just died; you're bleeding."

Meng Yong panted heavily, his body covered in dense wounds, and even his clothes made of animal hide were dyed bright red.

"I am not... a fool; what is wrong with saving the woman I love?"

Meng Yong took deep breaths; every word he spoke felt like suffering the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing his heart.

Hua Guduo cried in agony; she hugged Meng Yong tightly, as if the person before her was his most precious treasure.

"Don't cry... if we can survive, will you marry me?"

Meng Yong wiped away Hua Guduo's tears, struggling to reveal a smile.

Hua Guduo nodded repeatedly, fearing that if she were any later, she wouldn't have the chance to agree.

"You hold on a little longer, we will definitely both survive!"

Hua Guduo's voice trembled, and for a long time, she couldn't catch her breath.

Meng Yong smiled, nodded gently, and only then fainted in relief.

That someone had openly rescued a person right under the Nine Nether Profound Snake's nose was undoubtedly a provocation to him.

Furthermore, it was a human with barely any cultivation; this was simply a supreme humiliation! Thinking of this, the Nine Nether Profound Snake also went mad, determined to kill both Hua Guduo and Meng Yong.

With the hostage gone, Su Chen naturally didn't need to worry about accidentally hurting Hua Guduo anymore.

Su Chen immediately flew before the Nine Nether Profound Snake, took his sword, and slashed down toward his seven-inch mark.

This sword strike used ten-tenths of his strength and was even infused with Spiritual Power; the Nine Nether Profound Snake let out a miserable cry of pain, only then shifting his attention to Su Chen.

"You ignorant fool! To actually dare to hurt me, today I will let you know what it means to provoke someone you shouldn't have!"

As the words fell, the Nine Nether Profound Snake immediately attacked Su Chen.

At the same time, the Sea Clan members brought by the Nine Nether Profound Snake also rushed toward the others.

But with Yi Zhuyue and the others there, those people were like a tickle, not worth fearing.

Rain-like, dense attacks assaulted Su Chen; the naked eye could barely see the trajectory of these attacks, and Su Chen seemed to disappear among them, dodging with great speed.

Finally, Su Chen grew tired of this cat-and-mouse game and directly unleashed the Blue Jade Spirit Fire.

But ginger is still spicier when old; the Nine Nether Profound Snake had long since seen through his intentions and immediately had its crab soldiers block the damage.

The two crab soldiers were instantly reduced to ashes.

The Nine Nether Profound Snake knew that its situation was lost, but it was still very unwilling; seeing Su Chen about to throw out the Blue Quenching Spirit Fire once more, it could only shrink its original form to flee.

Su Chen watched the Nine Nether Profound Snake leave this place.

"Master, are we not going to pursue?" Lv Luo couldn't help but ask. (End of chapter)
