Douro Continent

Chapter 465 Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent (Part 2)

The fiery red light fluctuated violently on the narrow path, even crackling like burning rocks. What was even more terrifying was that this fiery red light was accompanied by a thin layer of red mist, and it was obvious that this red mist contained a potent toxin.

Taking a deep breath, the Clear Sky Hammer appeared out of thin air. Tang San narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly took a half step forward with his right leg, bent his left leg and squatted down, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand slid out from his palm and swept away close to the ground.

When the Haotian Hammer encountered the fiery red light, it immediately produced a patch of red markings, acting like a cleaner to deflect the light. Wherever it passed, the flames vanished instantly. Then, with incredible speed, it slid close to the narrow path and crashed into the strange snake.

A bizarre scene unfolded. The serpent did not clash head-on with the Haotian Hammer. Just as the Haotian Hammer was about to reach it, the serpent bowed its upper body and fell from the narrow path into the abyss beside it. As soon as the Haotian Hammer passed by where its body had been, its head coiled back onto the narrow path, and the same process was repeated on its back body. In this way, it managed to dodge the attack of the Haotian Hammer.

Although the firelight had disappeared, the mist, filled with a sweet and fishy smell, had already spread over.

"Even a grain of rice can shine?" Tang San scoffed disdainfully. A large leather pouch appeared in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, it flew out of thin air, heading straight for the center of the poisonous mist. Immediately afterward, he threw out the realgar he had taken out earlier with his other hand. The realgar was shattered in mid-air by the hidden force Tang San had left on it, turning into countless powders that scattered and some of them struck the leather pouch first.

Instantly, a large amount of liquid sprayed out, merging with the broken realgar powder to form a curtain of realgar wine.

Tang San had once easily destroyed the highly poisonous soul skill used by Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, using a similar method. Although this strange snake before him was far beyond Dugu Yan's capabilities, it was still a snake nonetheless.

All snake venom will inevitably be suppressed by realgar. Although it may not necessarily cure the poison, it is entirely possible to block it as Tang San is doing now.

Sure enough, wherever the water curtain passed, the red poisonous mist instantly vanished.

Some realgar wine even landed on the strange snake.

To Tang San's surprise, the strange snake seemed unresponsive and unharmed. However, its massive body suddenly accelerated, charging towards Tang San and Hu Liena.

The Clear Sky Hammer reappeared in Tang San's hands. He suddenly untied the rope around his waist, and the Clear Sky Hammer, which he had been holding with one hand, was now held with both hands. He said in a deep voice, "Stand still and don't move."

After saying this, Tang San's body rushed forward quickly, heading towards the strange snake. However, he only took three steps forward. When he took the third step, he raised his hands holding the Clear Sky Hammer, turned his body halfway, and slammed the hammer out.

Strangely, his hammer strike didn't hit the rapidly approaching giant snake; instead, it struck upwards, blasting into the air.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Liena, who was standing still, saw a strange sight.

A dense black light emanated from Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, and Tang San's body spun rapidly like a top that suddenly accelerated. She could only vaguely see that with each spin, Tang San would unleash a strike with the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, and the aura emanating from his body was increasing exponentially.

It was like a giant black vortex that was constantly expanding.

What impressed Hu Liena most was that Tang San maintained his balance perfectly during such rapid spinning, keeping both feet firmly planted on the narrow path. Little did she know that when Tang San practiced his hammer technique, he was on slippery, round stones with a two-hundred-meter waterfall cascading down from above. Compared to that, the narrow path he could now stand on was quite good.

How could this balance be disrupted? Back on the round stone, every time Tang San spun around, he always stepped on the same spot with the same force.

The strange snake rapidly approached, then suddenly used the same trick again, its upper body swaying to create a narrow path, seemingly trying to bypass Tang San. Given its previous ability to dodge the Clear Sky Hammer, it was clear this was something it could do.

It seemed that it had also sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the Haotian Hammer and wanted to attack Hu Liena first.

With her short sword held in front of her chest, Hu Liena stood with her feet crossed, toes pointing in different directions, ready to receive an attack.

However, to her great surprise, the strange snake failed to bypass Tang San's body as it had hoped.

Just as its massive body swayed around the narrow path, trying to pass under Tang San's feet, suddenly, a tremendous force pulled its body back above the narrow path, its more than ten-meter-long body soaring high into the air and being propelled backward by the airflow.

You know, this strange snake's body is as thick as a water bucket. How heavy is such a huge body?

Moreover, its own strength is extremely terrifying; the oppressive aura alone is enough to make one feel that it is much stronger than the previous Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King.

Even so, it still couldn't win over Tang San, and was even blown away by that strange black light.

Where did Tang San get such power?

Hu Liena looked at the man who was not far in front of her with suspicion and uncertainty.

She discovered that the aura that had previously appeared on Tang San's body had completely subsided, and she could see that the black light around his body was becoming increasingly intense, but strangely, she could not sense any fluctuations in his soul power.

The monstrous snake was clearly enraged. It no longer tried to bypass Tang San; instead, it swung its massive body around, its three-meter-long tail lashing out directly at Tang San, not at his body, but at the narrow path a meter in front of him. It clearly intended to break Tang San's balance in this way.

However, the black light in Tang San's hand covered a larger area than it had imagined. Before the snake's tail could fall, it was caught and lifted up. This time, it even threw the entire body of the giant snake into the air. If it hadn't used its tail to wrap around the narrow path in time, it would probably have fallen down.

Fear finally showed in those golden-red eyes, and the nine golden-red growths on the giant snake's back became even brighter.

It seemed to be croaking angrily.

His body arched over on the narrow path, the nine fleshy growths perfectly aligned with the direction Tang San was in.

Suddenly, the nine tumors shattered simultaneously, and nine streams of golden-red liquid shot out. The liquid didn't shoot straight through the air, but rather towards the area above and in front of Tang San. The nine streams merged into one in mid-air, and just as they were about to reach Tang San, they paused. All the liquid simultaneously contracted, transforming into a small, golden-red sphere no bigger than a fist, before crashing down towards Tang San.

Just then, Tang San, who had been spinning continuously, suddenly stopped, his movements changing from extreme motion to extreme stillness, creating an eerie contrast. In that instant of stopping, the Clear Sky Hammer he held remained in a slightly forward-sloping position.

A terrifying scene unfolded before Hu Liena's eyes. She seemed to see a huge black dragon rise from the Haotian Hammer, and then the black dragon instantly slammed into the golden-red bead. The bead, which was about to fall, trembled violently, as if struggling.

However, its struggle lasted only a moment before it soared into the sky.

The black light gushing from the Haotian Hammer did not stop there. The angle of the black light sweeping diagonally forward was slightly downward, and it passed close to the narrow road.

This time, the giant snake had no chance to dodge, because the length of the black light bursting forth far exceeded the length of its body.

Chi-

The black light flashed and disappeared in an instant. The giant snake's body suddenly froze, and the black light vanished without a trace in the silent darkness, without any grand or imposing sound.

Hu Liena still doesn't understand what happened. She only saw Tang San take a deep breath, and he seemed to gradually calm down. He also immediately put away the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.

Just as Hu Liena was about to ask Tang San if he needed her help, she suddenly saw an extremely terrifying sight.

The giant serpent, which had previously unleashed a powerful aura and seemed poised to utterly destroy them, had changed.

Its massive body, the part above the narrow path, silently disappeared, turning into tiny specks of powder that slid down, while the lower part, having lost its support, broke into several pieces and fell into the abyss.

"How... how did you do that?" Although Hu Liena knew she shouldn't pry into Tang San's privacy at this time, she couldn't help but ask.

Tang San didn't turn around, but simply said, "Haotian Sect, Chaotic Cloak, Nine Returns to One."

He raised his head, and dark blue light shot out from his eyes as he looked upwards.

A golden-red dot descended from the sky. Tang San waved his right hand, and under the pull of an invisible force, the golden-red light fell into his palm.

It was none other than the small, golden-red sphere formed from the liquid that had condensed from the nine fleshy tumors of the strange snake.

"Be careful. It might be poisonous." Hu Liena warned urgently, not having time to process Tang San's words.
