A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 424: Demon Snake

Amidst the crowd’s exclamations, the well-prepared Han Li raised his other hand, and the Green Radiance Sword shot out, colliding with the black shadow.

Immediately, the shadow was knocked back to the edge of the pool, then it lifted its head and coldly glared at everyone.

“Demon Crowned Snake? Why has the demon crown on its head turned into the shape of a Seven Hues Lotus?” Hu Yue said, eyes wide in disbelief as he clearly saw the shadow’s true form.

At the edge of the pool, the shadow was revealed to be a black monstrous snake about three to four feet long, with fleshy horns growing from its head.

The snake’s tongue was a bright red, and the upper half of the fleshy horn was actually a tricolored flower bud, like a delicate little flower growing on its head, making it look extremely ridiculous.

As for the rainbow, it was a series of dazzling seven-colored demonic energies emitted from the snake’s mouth.

It looked no different from a real rainbow. No wonder it was able to deceive so many cultivators’ eyes.

Seeing the snake’s true form, Stone Butterfly’s eyes flashed coldly. Without a word, she raised her hand and released a Purple Cloud Handkerchief, which thundered as it shot straight at the demon snake.

“Be careful! This snake’s poison is incredibly rare. You’re no match for it!” Jin Qing’s face changed abruptly as he hurriedly said, then released a white great seal which transformed into a beam of white light to assist in the attack.

The demon snake’s eyes were icy cold. Seeing the two objects attack, it opened its mouth and spat out a Seven-Colored Demon Pearl, emitting gorgeous light that blocked the great seal and Purple Cloud Handkerchief, preventing them from getting close by even an inch.

At this moment, Hu Yue finally snapped out of his disappointment over losing the precious treasure. After a brief hesitation, two flying knives transformed into long rainbows and joined the battle.

Immediately, before the demon snake, three beams of white light, a purple radiance, and a cluster of seven-colored luminous energy intertwined.

The snake was utterly fearless! After letting out several strange cries, it sprayed out multiple clouds of colorful mist. Once the magical treasures and artifacts touched the mist, they immediately dulled and lost their glow.

“How could this beast be so powerful? Could it be a mutated demon?” Jin Qing said in shock when he saw this scene.

But just as he finished speaking, a blood-red light shot from the side, piercing through the mist in an instant and striking the snake’s fleshy crown.

A blood pore about the size of a thumb suddenly appeared there.

The demon creature howled in pain, rolled on the bluestone ground, then bent its body and flashed toward the jade pool.

But at that moment, a jade-green flying sword came flying in from the sky and, with lightning speed, pinned the snake’s head to the bluestone ground, making its tail thrash wildly but unable to move even an inch.

This was precisely when Han Li and Quhun suddenly made their move.

Except for Quhun, who used a Blood Spirit Drill, Han Li deliberately controlled the evil-repelling divine thunder on the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, preventing it from unleashing to avoid revealing that the sword was forged with Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.

Seeing the demon snake subdued by Han Li, Jin Qing and the others finally relaxed.

They used their magical treasures together to slowly force the Seven-Colored Demon Pearl down. After a brief discussion, Stone Butterfly collected the pearl into her storage bag.

Then, the group gathered around the demon snake.

“This is indeed a Demon Crowned Snake, but its crown seems to have been deliberately forged into the shape of a Seven Hues Lotus by someone. It’s impossible for the snake to have been born this way,” Hu Yue said with a puzzled look as he glanced at the snake struggling desperately under the small sword.

“Obviously, the Seven Hues Lotus is just a trap, probably specially designed to deal with that White Bone person. We were simply tricked again,” Jin Qing agreed bitterly.
