At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

"roar!!"

The mirage serpent roared, its thick, long tail whipping out a torrent of water that surged back towards Fei Wei.

"It wasn't that simple after all!"

Fei Wei immediately raised his water-splitting sword to block.

Although the Mirage Serpent failed to break through, its body was still greatly enhanced during the bloodline transformation process.

Its attack was several times stronger than before. In a single blow, Fei Wei was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against the rock wall, blood spilling from his mouth.

He felt as if his bones and flesh were being separated, and pain swept through his entire body, making it difficult for him to even hold onto the Water-Splitting Sword.

"Such immense power..."

Fei Wei's heart sank.

I thought that the Mirage Serpent's strength would be greatly reduced after its breakthrough failed, but I didn't expect it to be even stronger than before.

"Could it be that Heaven truly intends to destroy my Fenshui Sect?"

Fei Wei felt a sense of despair.

The underwater world is the territory of the mirage serpent. Now that it has broken through and the mirage serpent has been injured, the balance of power is shifting, and it is likely that the mirage serpent will perish here.

I hope my junior sister can return in time and help Jingchen move the sect away from here...

Just as Fei Wei was in despair, the enraged mirage serpent launched another attack, raising its head and opening its mouth.

"Whoosh!!"

Several water waves compressed into blades and shot towards Fei Wei.

Fei Wei, pale as a ghost, didn't even have the strength to dodge.

"Whoosh!!"

At the critical moment, a dark figure stepped on the water and instantly blocked Fei Wei's path.

The man raised his arm, his fair and strong fingers naturally spread out, facing the water blade head-on.

The five fingers suddenly closed...

"Bang!!"

The water blade shattered instantly, dissipating into ripples that merged into the pool.

The visitor was none other than Mu Yang.

"Senior brother!"

"Master!"

Lei Xing and Huang Jingchen, who followed closely behind, also came to Fei Wei's side after Mu Yang approached.

"Are this person's fingers so hard?"

Fei Wei was greatly alarmed and even forgot to remind Lei Xing and the others to leave quickly.

"Could it be that this mirage serpent has broken through to a higher level?"

Lei Xing's expression turned grim after glancing at Fei Wei's injuries.

With Fei Wei's cultivation level and the help of the Water-Splitting Sword, even if he was no match for the Mirage Serpent, he shouldn't have been injured so badly.

Hearing Lei Xing's voice, Fei Wei snapped out of his daze and immediately said, "This beast is preparing to transform from a snake into a dragon!"

"Transform into a dragon?"

Huang Jingchen's pupils dilated sharply.

The same applies to Lei Xing.

She hadn't even bothered to observe the mirage snake when she saw Fei Wei in imminent danger, but now that she heard Fei Wei's words, she immediately looked over.

Only then did they discover that the mirage snake had grown a pair of sharp claws under its belly and even a miniature fleshy growth on its head.

"Ahem, but you don't need to worry too much. I noticed it in time and acted decisively to interrupt its transformation. Now it has completely given up its idea of ​​becoming a dragon."

Fei Wei coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and said with considerable pride.

Immediately afterward, without giving Lei Xing and the others a chance to speak, he said quickly, his expression hardening, "The most urgent thing is to get out of this pool. Even though this beast failed to transform into a dragon, its physical strength is far greater than before, and underwater combat is its forte. If we're not careful, we'll all be doomed here!"

"Yes, let's get out of here right now!"

Huang Jingchen immediately echoed.

He was deeply impressed by the strength of the Mirage Serpent.

If his opponent hadn't underestimated him, and if he hadn't been lucky enough to have a magical treasure by his side, he'd probably be buried a meter tall by now.

"It's probably too late to leave now!"

Lei Xing pointed to a spot not far away.

The two of them instinctively looked over.

Mu Yang, who had just blocked the water blade, did not retreat. Instead, he quickly charged towards the mirage snake amidst the swirling water beneath his feet.

"Has he gone mad? That's a powerful demon that has transformed into a half-dragon!" Huang Jingchen was dumbfounded.

Fei Wei was also stunned.

He didn't know Mu Yang, but from the fact that he came with Lei Xing and Huang Jingchen, and from the fact that Mu Yang was dressed as a member of the Demon Slayer Division, he realized that Mu Yang had come to help.

I wonder where this executioner comes from; he looks so young.

"In that case, let's go!"

Fei Wei accepted the fact that he had to continue fighting in just one second.

People who came to help rose to the challenge, so how could these locals back down!

If he really abandoned his comrades and ran away, wouldn't he be cursed to death by all the ancestors after he was buried?

"Master...this..."

Huang Jingchen's face fell. He wanted to say something, but seeing his master and uncle gripping the Water-Splitting Sword and rushing forward, he gritted his teeth and rushed forward as well.

"There are quite a few people!"

On the other side, the mirage serpent, seeing the number of people increase from one to four, was not alarmed, but instead revealed a bloodthirsty look.

Two old acquaintances who had previously teamed up to beat him up, and a stranger.

If it were yesterday, it might have thought about running away, but now, even though it hasn't fully transformed into a dragon, its half-dragon body is not something an ordinary person can withstand!

"Since you're here, you're all going to die!!"

The mirage serpent lashed its tail violently.

The enormous snake tail swept across with immense force.

The powerful flow of water was pulled back by this immense force.

Mu Yang, however, neither dodged nor avoided, but went straight to meet him.

"Friend, that beast is strong, don't try to take it head-on!"

Just as the mirage's tail was about to strike Mu Yang, Fei Wei cried out.

Only after experiencing it firsthand can one understand the immense power of that mirage serpent.

Even with the Water-Splitting Sword in his hand, he felt as if his bones had shattered after taking the hit.

Moreover, Mu Yang was unarmed...

Worried, Fei Wei disregarded the excruciating pain in his body and immediately tried to forcefully activate his true energy to reactivate the Dividing Water Sword in his hand.

However, before he could make a move, the scene before him stunned him.

"Bang!!!"

A human and a demon, their fists and tails met, and a sonic boom suddenly erupted.

As the sound waves rang out, Mu Yang was not sent flying like he had been before, but remained firmly in place.

On the contrary, the enormous mirage serpent's tail exploded like fireworks the moment it touched Mu Yang's fist.

Thick blood mixed with wisps of golden light and bits of flesh and bone dispersed together in the pool.

Fei Wei stared wide-eyed at the scene.

Lei Xing, who was standing to the side, also stopped, his small eyes filled with shock.

As for Huang Jingchen, his expression was priceless.

He didn't think highly of Mu Yang to begin with, not to mention that he had just witnessed his master's miserable state.

Seeing this counterintuitive scene with his own eyes, his brain was somewhat blank.

No, where did my martial uncle find such a ruthless person?

One punch, just one punch!

They actually shattered the tail of the mirage serpent that had transformed into a half-dragon!

Who the hell is this? Who's the monster and who's the human?
