Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 355

Chapter 355: The Nine-Headed Snakelet Devours The Nine Head Clan, Take Both Your Lives Instead

“Shrieks…”

A long shriek was accompanied by a surge of ferocious energy.

In the Nine Head Clan, the members recognized the aura. The Nine Head Clan and the rest were extremely overjoyed as they looked towards the direction of Blackwater Swamp in anticipation.

“He did it. The Young Master has revived our Lord, the Nine-Headed Snakelet!”

“Haha, that’s wonderful!”

“The glory days of the Nine Head Clan are finally here!”

The Nine Head Clan members stared excitedly into the horizon. Some of them even knelt in that direction as they began to worship the beast.

Chu Kuangren was completely unmoved.

“Looks like we’re too late now. The Nine-Headed Snakelet has reborn. Judging from its aura, it’s indeed different from the norm. Perhaps its power is near the level of a Great Sage too.”

Chu Kuangren murmured.

After a while, the devastating ferocious qi approached.

The Nine Head Clan Leaders and the elders hastily rushed out of their tents and knelt in a formation, preparing to welcome the arrival of their lord.

An enormous shadow encroached from afar.

The shadow belonged to a serpent-like being that had nine heads. Its length measured across four hundred meters, while its body was covered with black scales and its menacing heads glowed with pairs of blood-red eyes…

To the Nine Head Clan, it was a majestic and sacred beast that deserved all of their worship!

“Long live our Lord!”

“Long live our Lord!”

The Nine Head Clan Leaders and several members knelt as they worshipped loudly.

The Nine-Headed Snakelet was puzzled.

‘What’s going on?’

‘Did my food just arrange itself on my platter?!’

“Heh, in that case, I should start digging in then!”

The Nine-Headed Snakelet chuckled before he proceeded to gape at the dozens of worshippers and bit into the Nine Head Clan members who were kneeling before it.

A copious amount of blood splattered across the area…

The Nine Head Clan Leader was splashed by his own clansman’s blood. The sheer amount of shock was enough to incapacitate him from reacting at all.

It was only when he heard the cries of his clansmen that he now realized what was going on. The Nine-Headed Snakelet was devouring his members!

“Haha! Delicious!”

“It’s been a while since I indulged in such a great meal.”

The Nine-Headed Snakelet kept extending its heads. One by one, it bit onto the clansmen, chewed them apart, and swallowed them. Meanwhile, his stomach glowed with a faint red light as blood splatters tainted his scales.

Having been denied nutrients for several millennia, the frail body of the Nine-Headed Snakelet was craving for every blood and flesh it could consume to recover its energy.

In a split second, the Nine Head Clan descended into living chaos as incessant howls and wails filled the entire atmosphere.

The members were at the peak of despair.

They were desperate not because they were facing certain death, but that their entire belief system had collapsed!

They had never imagined that the Lord they once worshipped so devoutly would turn upon them at the instance it awakened.

They were merely fuel sources for the Nine-Headed Snakelet that they saw as their God!

“Why’s this happening, why’s this happening…”

The Nine Head Clan Leader was in denial at such a sight.

With his eyes red in anger, the Nine Head Clan Leader charged towards the Nine-Headed Snakelet and loudly questioned the beast, “My Lord, why are you doing this to us? Why?!”

The only response he got was the opening of one of the Nine-Headed Snakelet’s jaw.

The Nine Head Clan Leader abruptly dodge the sweep. Just when he was about to say something, he was greeted by darkness as he felt himself falling into a damp hole that was covered in slime.

Then, unbearable pain took over his body before he lost all of his senses.

From another point of view, the Nine-Headed Clan Leader had dodged one of the beast’s heads, only to be swallowed by another.

The two heads of the Nine-Headed Snakelet looked at one another.

“What did that fella say?”

“I don’t know?”

“Who cares. Let’s just eat.”

The Nine-Headed Snakelet ignored it and resumed its rampage on the fleeing clan members.

At that moment, a palm qi that was forged out of rainwater struck the Nine-Headed Snakelet on one of its heads.

The head was smacked heavily to one side. The beast then looked into the distance to see an elder in a cloth robe staring back furiously.

“A Sage?!”

“Hehe, he’ll surely make a much more delicious meal.”

The Nine-Headed Snakelet did not care.

In fact, the head that was just attacked simply shook the pain off. The Sage’s palm technique did not do significant damage to the beast at all.

Its physical power amused Chu Kuangren who was witnessing the scene not far away.

“Monster, die!”

The Nine Head Clan Sage roared, unleashing a continuous streak of palm techniques that mostly revolve around water and fire elements.

The Nine-Headed Snakelet was a master in both elements, and since the clansmen shared its bloodline, their techniques also revolved around these two elements.

The water and fire palm struck the Nine-Headed Snakelet’s body. Each attack was enough to split an entire mountain. However, the dozens of attacks were only enough to dent the beast’s scales slightly. It could not inflict a meaningful amount of damage.

The Nine Head Clan Sage was now hopeless.

Suddenly, he noticed a black-clothed and cold person standing above one of the Nine-Headed Snakelet’s heads. It was Li Ze.

Seeing him had given the Nine Head Clan Sage a glimmer of hope, and so, he yelled, “Young Master, hurry up and stop this monster!”

To his surprise, Li Ze merely returned him a cold glare. “Why should I do so? The Nine-Headed Snakelet has just awakened. It needs a huge amount of blood and flesh essences to recuperate. Don’t all of you worship it like a God? What’s wrong with serving your flesh to it?”

The Nine Head Clan Sage was filled with disbelief. “Young Master, how could you say such words? You’re also a Nine Head Clan member!”

“So what if I am? Honestly, I’ve left this clan a long time ago and have been with the Craggy Ocean Tower all this while. I don’t really care what happens to this clan. After all, my career is more important than your measly lives!”

Li Ze said crudely.

“Y-you filthy traitor!”

The Nine Head Clan Sage burst in anger.

Li Ze’s eyes turned cold as he gently lifted his palms. Then, he concentrated a frightening amount of Daoist Rhymes in its center, and when he released it, it transformed into a ferocious beast conjuration in the air.

The Sage, having exhausted most of his energies in attacking the Nine-Headed Snakelet, could no longer defend himself.

Cough…

Blasted by the force, the Sage spat out a mouthful of blood as he was blasted away.

The Nine-Headed Snakelet extended its neck and swallowed the Sage in one go. Its aura was now intensified even further, and blood mist around his body had thickened as well.

Soon, half of the Nine Head Clan members were devoured by the Nine-Headed Snakelet. It was then when Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu finally made their appearance, approaching Li Ze and his beast after they had spectated for a while.

Li Ze had noticed their presence as well. “Oh, you have quite a unique aura. Judging by your looks and that sword, you must be Chu Kuangren.”

“That’s right.”

“I’m guessing you’re here for Gu Changge?”

“That’s right too.”

“I’m afraid you’re too late. That pest has been swallowed by the Nine-Headed Snakelet. By now, he should be completely digested,” said Li Ze.

“Is that so? What a shame then.”

However, there was no trace of sadness on Chu Kuangren’s face. He merely looked at Li Ze and the Nine-Headed Snakelet and said, “I was sent here to look for Gu Changge and the Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl, and it seems like both of these are no longer available. But I can’t just return empty-handed.”

“So how about I take both your lives instead?”
