It didn’t even dodge, merely gazing down coldly and indifferently at the provocative ant below, as Su He’s punch, wrapped with the embryonic domain cultivated within it, burst open in the air with a violent roar!
Snow splattered around!
Su He landed, looked up at the big snake, its indifferent eyes obscured by the wind and snow, shining through the thick fog with a dark, eerie golden glow, leaving not a single scratch on it from that punch.
However... the goal was achieved.
The punch was always supposed to be more bark than bite.
Not to wound the enemy,
but to create a big enough disturbance.
The entire squad, awakened by Gu Shen’s Chi Huo and the intense external noise, quickly came to their senses.
The sounds of swords being drawn rang out urgently, needing no communication; the elite of the Investigation Corps had adjusted their formation within three seconds of waking up... The Source Eyes resumed spinning atop Li Chen’s head, constructing a shared Spiritual Link among the twelve team members, stabilizing everyone’s spirit under its coordination!
Jiang Yu stretched out his hands, and the broken snow on the ground rolled upwards, transforming into a blurred curtain of rain.
Level B ability "Rain Marsh" activated, Domain Embryo!
Abrasive sounds of "friction" came from the ground, as "Rain Marsh" attempted to pull the great snake’s body underground. However, its scales, as if equipped with a domain of their own, shattered the area outright!
"Rain Marsh" was ineffective!
In the team at the end of Snow Mountain Canyon, numerous spectacular glows burst forth, numerous abilities of Third-order Transcendents were all unleashed... under the amplifying effect of the Source Eyes’ linkage, these potent attacks, typically enough to shatter a small mountain, struck the snake’s scales, sparking bright flare-ups at best.
The only one causing significant damage was Team Leader, Yuan Yuan.
He drew his twin blades, dancing wildly on the snake like a hunting cheetah in a relentless deluge, chopping at its scales, not only splashing dazzling fires but also leaving faint white marks... Yuan Yuan, fiercer than Su He, sliced from the tail all the way to the head of the snake, while the big snake maintained its usual "indifference."
Finally, Yuan Yuan leapt high, driving his long sword into its snake eyes!
A crisp "clink" sounded.
All abilities and domains were stripped away.
And Yuan Yuan’s slash was deflected—
A golden beam burst from the pupil of the big snake, striking through him like a sky-piercing radiance.
Above the flowing clouds of Gao Tian, a burst of vivid, scorching blood exploded.
The hot blood rain fell.
It splattered onto the upturned faces of every team member.
Li Chen’s face turned pale as he stared stunned at this scene, feeling his soul hit hard... The "corpse" of Team Leader Yuan Yuan, under the watchful glow of those fiery pupils, outright exploded into myriad gleaming fragments.
His Source Eyes, uncontrollably, began to tremble violently.
Not because of the emergency linkage of twelve people, or the overload in operation.
But because, he had seen something he should not have...
Silver eyes staring directly at that giant snake spirit, experiencing an unprecedented pressure on the spiritual level.
Blood slowly streamed from Li Chen’s eyes.
He looked up, wanting to imprint the last scene before the captain’s "death" in his mind, yet his final vision turned to pure grey... True grayness.
He was stripped of his sight.
The linkage of the Source Eyes also broke off at that moment.
The communication channels had already shattered in the illusion, but without the Spiritual Link of the Source Eyes, it made no difference to the team... as everyone had descended into a stunned silence.
The big snake didn’t do anything.
It merely waited with arrogant posture, quietly welcoming their assaults, then smashed all the desires of the Investigation Corps Second Team’s elite squad to attack.
To battle such a monster... what kind of power would one need?
Even a Fourth-order Transcendent’s full force could only slightly mark it!
To kill it would probably require Titled Level strength, right?
No one has ever seen such a "monster."
Could even the top Titled Transcendents among humans possibly kill it?
