Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

The old fisherman pressed his advantage and forced Wenbo to the edge of the pool within three moves.

The fourth move, the Dark Water Whip, struck Wenbo in the chest, sending him flying backward and crashing his back against the mountain wall.

Dark red blood trickled down the corner of his mouth, soaking his collar.

His protective aura shattered completely, and his body could no longer withstand the second wave of dark water erosion.

Old Fisherman withdrew his hand, looked at Wenbo leaning against the stone wall, panting, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. "I told you, if you make a move, you'll only be taking one more person down with you."

As he spoke, he once again condensed a dark water arrow.

This time... he aimed for Wenbo's throat!

As Qian Xinya watched Wenbo being whipped away by the old fisherman and sliding down the mountain wall, she felt as if she had been struck hard in the chest by something.

She bit her lip, then suddenly turned around and lowered her head to Chu Nan. "Mr. Chu... please make your move."

"I'll give you all those old medicines. Take as much as you want. I know I'm being harsh, I apologize. Please, save Wenbo!"

Just as Chu Nan was about to speak, a low tremor suddenly came from deep within the mountain valley.

Immediately afterwards, the surface of the cold pool began to churn, as if the pool had been boiled.

Bubbles rose from the pool, bursting and splashing up patches of cool water.

The whole mountain was shaking, the loose rocks underfoot were jumping around, and stone chips were falling down the mountainside.

The old fisherman withdrew the hidden water arrow he was about to fire, turned around and stood in front of the young palace master, his expression even more solemn than when he had been injured by Wen Bo earlier.

He could feel something rising to the surface in the cold pool.

That aura was more powerful than anything he had ever encountered in his life.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a huge dark shadow slowly rose from the churning waters of the pool.

First came two dark yellow vertical pupils, each the size of an adult's fist, then a huge inverted triangular snake head, followed by a body that required three people to encircle.

The black scales gleamed with a cold luster under the sunlight, each scale about the size of a palm.

It was already nearly ten meters tall with only half of its body above the water.

The sides of the snake's head bulged slightly, as if something was about to burst out from under the skull.

"what!"

Qian Xinya was so frightened that she let out a sharp scream.

The sound bounced back and forth in the narrow valley, piercing everyone's eardrums.

Xu Yi's mouth dropped open, and he stood there as if he had been nailed to the spot.

He had lived half his life and had never seen anything like it before.

Do not!

To be precise, he had always thought that such things only existed in fictional films and television shows.

Chu Nan's eyes widened slightly; it was the first time he had ever seen such a real monster outside of a movie.

This snake was very large, and the bulges on both sides of its head resembled the signs of a dragon transformation described in some ancient texts.

The young palace master turned around, facing everyone directly for the first time.

His face showed no fear, only a long-suppressed excitement. "Old Fisherman, kill it!"

Old Fisherman glanced at the young palace master with a serious expression, but did not make a move immediately.

"Young Palace Master, those two are still on the shore."

His gaze swept over Wen Bo, who was leaning against the stone wall panting, and Lu Pingchuan, who was slumped on the ground. "If I go to deal with the Black Serpent, who will protect your safety?"

"Those two injured good-for-nothings?"

The young palace master remained standing with his hands behind his back, not even lifting his eyelids. "They can't hurt me yet. Your task is to kill that black snake. You don't need to worry about the rest."

The old fisherman said no more and turned to face the black snake.

The dark water arrow tore through the air and shot towards the black snake's head.

The water arrow exploded into spray the moment it hit the snake scales, but the black snake didn't even flinch.

Its scales blocked the arrowhead, leaving only a very faint white mark on the surface.

Old Fisherman frowned, and his second move was even more ruthless.

A waterspout rose from the surface of the pool, sweeping pebbles toward the snake's head.

The black snake let out a low growl and swung its long tail violently. The snake's tail, as thick as a water bucket, shot out and collided head-on with the water tornado.

The waterspout was shattered by the snake's tail, and water splashed everywhere. Some drops landed on the mountain wall and actually condensed into ice crystals on the stone.

The old fisherman took a step back, his eyes filled with shock.

He used at least 70% of his strength in that attack, which was enough to shatter even a grandmaster's protective aura.

The scales of this black snake were even stronger than the protective aura of a grandmaster.

The young palace master frowned slightly as he watched Elder Yu being suppressed by the black snake. "Elder Yu, don't waste time. Use the dark water to corrode its scales."

"For all snake-like monsters, scales are their first line of defense and what they rely on most. Once their scales are broken, they are nothing more than a slightly larger snake."

The old fisherman's spirits lifted, and he began to form hand seals, a ball of dark blue water condensing in his palm.

He thrust his hands forward, and the water sphere exploded into dozens of dark water arrows, each containing the turbid power of the deep sea.

The dark water arrows kept hitting the black snake's scales.

This time it didn't bounce off; the turbid force on the arrow tip began to seep into the gaps between the scales.

The black snake let out a sharper roar than before, and its huge snake head suddenly turned towards the old fisherman, opening its mouth to spew out a cloud of gray, cold air at him.

As soon as that chill emanated, the temperature in the entire valley plummeted.

A layer of white frost condensed on the stone wall, and the leaves of several low trees by the pool withered and curled up instantly.

The old fisherman hurriedly retreated to avoid it, but the chill swept past him, and the hairs on his entire left arm stood on end.

When he regained his balance, his expression changed drastically.

The black snake's chilling aura was seeping into his body along with his released true energy!

He hurriedly cut off the outward release of his true energy, but it was too late.

My left fingertips started to feel numb, and the extremely cold and yin energy in my meridians was slowly spreading.

His water control technique was effective against the black snake, but the black snake's cold energy also countered his true energy.

This is a mutual suppression between two water-elemental forces; whoever has the higher level will be able to overpower the other.

The black snake had cultivated in this icy pool for countless years, and its level of coldness far surpassed that of the old fisherman's dark waters.

After several rounds of fighting, the old fisherman was struck in the chest by a black snake's tail whip and sent flying backward.

He managed to steady himself when he landed, but his steps were already unsteady.

Lu Pingchuan leaned against the stone wall, panting heavily, his Taoist robe stained with blood.

Watching the old fisherman being swept away by the black snake's tail, he swallowed hard, his voice hoarse and rapid, "What exactly is this thing? These scales... this power... it's no ordinary demon beast."

"I have cultivated at Yuchan Temple for forty years and have never heard of such a monster deep in Qishan."

Wenbo shook his head, his eyes also filled with shock. "I've never seen one before either. But I can sense that the power contained within this black snake is stronger than any enemy I've encountered before."

"This is no ordinary demonic beast; its bloodline may contain some ancient, far more powerful force!"
