The hunting rifle slammed into the Red Training Snake King’s head, then the copper barrel instantly bent and the wooden stock shattered.
The Red Training Snake King let out an angry roar, its head slamming towards Zhang Xiaoshan in response.
Zhang Xiaoshan punched out.
He was now at the strength of Half-step Qi Transformation. This punch, mixed with True Qi, made the Red Training Snake King’s head recoil, and he himself took advantage of the recoil to instantly move next to Xu Jing.
Xu Jing crashed into Zhang Xiaoshan’s embrace, holding him and crying bitterly.
"Don’t be afraid, I will definitely get you out of here."
Zhang Xiaoshan comforted Xu Jing’s emotions, while his eyes glanced towards the Red Training Snake King.
After taking a punch, the Red Training Snake King’s body fell to the ground, but it quickly rose back up.
"Damn, this beast’s strength has grown so much."
Last time, Zhang Xiaoshan’s punch nearly burst the Red Training Snake King’s head, but this time it was completely unharmed.
"I have to kill you."
Zhang Xiaoshan launched another attack towards the Red Training Snake King.
A man and a snake tangled in the cornfield.
Outside the corn, people couldn’t see the battle inside, but could see the corn stalks falling down in swathes.
"Isn’t Zhang Xiaoshan courting death?"
"Yeah, otherwise let’s go help him; he can’t handle that giant python alone."
The crowd grew restless.
"The situation inside is unclear right now, the more people go in, the more will die. Do you want your wives to become widows?"
Hearing this, everyone also became troubled.
Yes, after all, human nature is selfish.
Wu Daming had been seeking an opportunity to deal with Zhang Xiaoshan, the incident with Zhang Ercai’s wife hadn’t succeeded, and now a better opportunity had presented itself; he wouldn’t want to miss it.
Soon, shouts emanated from the cornfield.
Zhang Xiaoshan, holding Xu Jing’s hand, ran out from the cornfield.
With Xu Jing there, Zhang Xiaoshan was handicapped, not gaining any advantage for a long time, so he decided to first rescue Xu Jing and then return.
The two ran to the edge of the cornfield.
Just as they were about to escape.
The Red Training Snake King relentlessly pursued them from behind.
Having its prey snatched away was a great humiliation, not to mention Zhang Xiaoshan was its sworn enemy.
When the Red Training Snake King’s body, ten meters long and thick as a bucket, emerged, everyone was dumbstruck.
"My gosh, look at that, the beast’s head has mutated and even grown horns. It’s at least three hundred years old, it’s practically becoming a Mountain Spirit," exclaimed an older hunter over fifty, with his mouth wide open.
Hundreds of men couldn’t help but feel fear and began to retreat in panic.
Wu Daming directly sat down on the ground.
Seeing he couldn’t catch up to Zhang Xiaoshan, the Red Training Snake King’s tail swept across like a whip.
Zhang Xiaoshan, sensing the danger behind him, instinctively protected Xu Jing.
The tail smashed hard onto Zhang Xiaoshan’s back.
The force of the hit was at least seven or eight hundred kilograms. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱
Zhang Xiaoshan’s internal organs were greatly shaken, his body flying like a cannonball, but he still held Xu Jing tightly, never letting go.
The two of them crashed heavily more than ten meters away, right at the feet of the crowd.
And the Red Training Snake King’s tail also seemed corroded, with large scales falling off.
This was the effect of the White Dragon Tattoo on Zhang Xiaoshan’s back.
Beasts are restrained by bloodlines.
Even though the Susu within that tattoo was still asleep, it was a true Dragon Soul; when the Red Training Snake King actually touched it, it was still burned.
Wounded, the Red Training Snake King became even more furious and, after a moment’s pause, attacked again.
"Fire, fire quickly."
More than a dozen hunting rifles fired simultaneously.
Quantity changes lead to quality changes.
Although one hunting rifle could not hurt it, the instant output of two or three hundred steel pellets from more than a dozen rifles successfully pinned it down in the cornfield.
The Red Training Snake King moved and coiled along the edge of the cornfield, looking for an opportunity to strike again.
This also gave Zhang Xiaoshan a chance to catch his breath.
Regaining consciousness, Xu Jing hurriedly helped Zhang Xiaoshan, who was lying next to her.
"Woo woo woo, don’t die, how are you, woo woo woo..."
By this time, Zhang Xiaoshan’s back was a mess of flesh and blood, and blood flowed from every orifice, unconscious.
Xu Jing screamed in horror.
The villagers also gathered around.
Wu Daming glanced at them, a smirk of triumph at the corner of his mouth.
"Now this kid won’t die but will be crippled. That’ll teach you to oppose me."
Xu Jing rocked Zhang Xiaoshan hard in her arms.
All she could think of was Zhang Xiaoshan rushing behind her, taking the hit for her. Otherwise, it should be her lying on the ground.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, don’t die, I won’t argue with you anymore, I won’t bother you anymore, it’s all my fault, please don’t die?"
Xu Jing’s tears flowed endlessly, heartbroken.
Just then, the unconscious Zhang Xiaoshan coughed a few times, spat out a large amount of black blood, and then slowly opened his eyes.
