Chapter 226: Fight!
Chapter 226: Fight!
What was poison to other beasts was nothing more than a delicious meal to Balamu. Just like the others, it only needed to eat strong martial artists to recover itself to its former glory.
The Octoviolet Silversnake clenched the muscles in its body and shot forward like a spring. It was faster than a rocket.
Xiang Ning knew that this was the third dangerous situation he had ever faced. The first was the Tyrant Spider in the mines, while the second was the Kaiser Aurumsaur. Staring straight at the bloody jaws of the snake, he immediately shot out a single flying knife with the maximum amount of Mental Power he could use. The Devourer was also quaking in anticipation as its core turned from yellow to red.
This was a battle between two kings. The winner would increase their strength by consuming the loser.
If it werent for Xiang Ning suppressing the Devourer, the black dragon would have appeared once again. He couldnt let that happen or the black dragon would die!
The flying knife was aimed directly down the throat of Balamu, but its strength was far beyond what Xiang Ning had expected. It was definitely stronger than a tier four, nine-star beast! With a flick of its tongue, the knife was sent flying away. To think that what could usually kill an Iron Tank in a single blow was ineffective in front of Balamu.
The Hunter Mk. 4 flying knives were strong enough to shred through the defense of a tier five beast, but to think that it couldnt even slice through the tongue of Balamu. It even swiped the knife away so easily!
Xiang Ning was in danger. He used the Devourer to slash at the snakes head, but the sword barely made a dent in it. Balamu merely lashed out and its body barreled past Xiang Ning like a train, its scale cutting Xiang Ning in many places.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
......
As Xiang Ning was battling for his life, Six and the rest had emerged.
Six was holding Fang Hao for dear life. Dont underestimate Xiang Ning, hes much stronger than you think!
Bullshit! Hes only sixteen! Is this how you abandon people in the military?!
No, Im not!
Then why arent you helping him?!
He has the strength to do so!
If he has the strength, we need to protect him and ensure that he grows! Fang Hao was almost screaming. He was from the Fang family, the successor of the Thunder Dojo! How could he use methods like these to stay alive? The guilt would continue gnawing at him.
Protect? Who do you think he is protecting? Six slapped him.
When he said that, both Old Zhou and Fang Hao were stunned. Six grabbed Fang Haos collar and shook him. Do you know that if it wasnt for him we wouldve been eliminated two hundred kilometers away from here at the outpost?
Do you know that because of him your sister is alive?!
What?! When he heard that his sister was involved, Fang Hao almost choked Six for allowing the military to send her here.
She knew you were in trouble, so she followed us on this rescue mission. We were ambushed by the Seven Deadly Sins at the outpost and almost a thousand beasts surrounded us. If it wasnt for Xiang Ning chasing them away, you wouldnt be standing here looking at the sun either!
Old Zhou couldnt believe what he was hearing. A young boy like Xiang Ning was capable of fighting off an entire beast horde?
Wheres my sister?! Fang Hao couldnt care less about the other details.
Xiang Ning came to rescue your sister. Shes safe now, but she was still extremely worried about you! Thats why he volunteered himself in her stead to come and rescue you. He swore on his life that he would ensure youre safe. Six didnt say anything else and carried Fang Hao on his shoulder and ran to safety.
Fang Hao was in a daze and could only stare in the direction of Xiang Ning. He wanted to take his place because Xiang Ning would achieve much more in the future compared to him. The boy was also interested in his sister! If he died, Xiang Ning could still marry his sister and ensure that their family would continue as the top clan in Marsh City.
Fang Hao continued to struggle once he thought about that. No! Even if I die, he must not die!
YOU MOTHERFUCKER! Six finally snapped and knocked him out cold. Stop being so goddamn stubborn. He can kill a Pale Moon on his own. If he wanted to escape from the Octoviolet Silversnake he could easily do so! That was why Six felt that there wasnt a problem for Xiang Ning to stay back and stall for time. If he couldnt win in a fight, he could at least run. But what he didnt know was that Xiang Ning wasnt stalling for time, but instead trying to kill that damned snake!
When they were a kilometer away from the central building, the earth shook. Six stopped and surveyed his surroundings and saw that a giant snake had emerged from the building with Xiang Ning in its mouth. Xiang Ning was barely able to make sure the jaws of the snake didnt close.
Old Zhou could no longer keep up with the surprises. He had fought against the snake before and wasnt even confident in killing it. But Xiang Ning? Seeing how the youth was fighting against the snake, he didnt even know what to say.
Is that really him? How is he that strong?
The cult member was diligently streaming everything, so naturally everyone in the livestream saw how the giant Octoviolet Silversnake had come out of the building with a person in its jaws.
Holy shit! Did you see that? Its him!
Was Xiang Ning this strong?!
Whats that beast?! It's too strong!
Im getting goosebumps!
No wonder they needed an entire rescue team. But Xiang Ning is just throwing his life away now!
......
As for Xiang Ning, after he managed to escape from the jaws, the snake rammed him up into the sky. Once in the air, he could no longer freely maneuver himself and the snake could attack him as it wished.
Oh no! Hes in danger! Old Zhou shouted.
Xiang Ning was using his maximum output of Mental Power and Keen Observation. He had a few methods of escaping. But one of them caught his eye and gave him a bold idea.
Everyone saw the snake moving upward to swallow Xiang Ning. Everything happened in slow motion as everyone screamed and closed their eyes. Just as the jaws were closing, Xiang Ning willed one of the knives to appear beneath his feet and used it to dodge the incoming jaws.
Mountain-Splitting Slash!
Blood sprayed out. Balamu, the dreaded Octoviolet Silversnake, had been wounded!
Doge & Chacha's Thoughts
Wow MC actually hurting the Octoviolet Silversnake that they could not win against for so long?
