Chapter 333: Taking Action
'Damn it, I warned the Snake Lord that this was a hazardous situation, but he insisted on going anyway, causing us to end up in this current state. Even most of our clan's top experts have lost their senses like him. It's infuriating!' Cursing inwardly, Tian Qing Zi lamented the Snake Lord's recklessness, which had led them to their current perilous situation.
Most of their clan's top experts had lost their senses like the Snake Lord, aggravating his frustration.
Angry and panicked, Tian Qing Zi was furious at the Snake Lord for his rash behavior, while also fearing for his own life as the Snake Lord launched another attack at him. He had been brutally beaten all the way to the surface, resulting in his current predicament.
His injuries were severe, and if the Snake Lord's strike landed, it would be fatal!
Yet, amidst his panic, a flicker of determination flashed in Tian Qing Zi's eyes. His fingers swiftly moved, forming a seal in an instant.
Boom!
Suddenly, his body trembled and exploded before the eyes of Xiao Ming and his companions!
In the explosion, there was no scattering of flesh and blood. Instead, an onslaught of countless dark green energy snakes surged forth, dispersing in all directions as soon as they appeared.
The Snake Lord, consumed by his deranged state, missed the attack as Tian Qing Zi's form dissipated. Enraged at the escape of his prey, he swung a dozen blood-colored whips, obliterating hundreds of energy snakes into nothingness.
The other frenzied experts behind the Snake Lord refused to stand idle. They joined the attack, roaring as they unleashed their power. Within a short span of time, all the energy snakes in the sky were shattered, but many managed to escape.
With over a dozen experts in the Dou Ancestor and Dou Venerate realm participating, the scene became extraordinary. The space trembled intensely, and fissures twisted and snaked through the air.
Observing the chaos unfold, Xiao Ming and his companions on the sidelines began discussing the situation.
Venerable Tian Huo voiced his thoughts, "Although we don't know the reason, it's apparent that these people have lost their minds. Judging from their attire, they seem to be from the same clan. Otherwise, why would they be fighting each other so fiercely?"
Xiao Yi Xian suggested, "Xiao Ming, why don't we retreat now? This is their clan's internal matter, and they can resolve it on their own. I see no reason for us to stay and get involved."
As Xiao Ming's gaze shifted from the residual energy of giant snakes in the sky to the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python absorbing energy above the blood pool, he responded with a serious tone, "Perhaps we could have left earlier, but I don't think we can now..."
The majority of the giant green energy snakes had been eliminated, with only a tiny portion managing to escape. Tian Qing Zi took advantage of the distraction and stealthily positioned himself behind them.
In the previous situation, Tian Qing Zi had been caught in the middle, but now it was Xiao Ming and his companions who found themselves in a vulnerable position.
Tian Qing Zi was clearly attempting to drag them down in order to relieve some of his own pressure.
After briefly pausing his assault, the Snake Lord redirected his ferocious gaze towards Xiao Ming and his group, his eyes filled with nothing but pure brutality.
...
"Since we can't avoid it, there's no point in hiding. Senior Yao, I'll leave the six-star Dou Venerate to you later. I'll have a Sky Demon Puppet assist you. Is that okay?" Xiao Ming proposed.
"The six-star Dou Venerate? This old man can still hold on, not to mention that I have assistance," replied Venerable Tian Huo confidently.
"Xian'er, Qing Lin, I'll leave those Dou Ancestors to you. They're all from the Snake Clan, so with the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, you two can take care of them without much effort. The other Sky Demon Puppet will provide support from the side while keeping an eye on that Tian Qing Zi," Xiao Ming continued.
After leaving the battlefield, Tian Qing Zi's face was pale and even more haggard, and it was unclear how much fighting power he could display at the moment.
However, since he had used them as shields, and with his two-star Dou Venerate realm, Xiao Ming naturally didn't underestimate him.
"They still have a Dou Venerate. Can it be that you're planning to...?" Xiao Yi Xian asked suspiciously, noticing that Xiao Ming hadn't made arrangements for himself and the opposing Dou Venerate yet.
Just as Xiao Yixian had guessed, Xiao Ming wanted to fight the Dou Venerate.
At the Dou Ancestor realm, he had improved rapidly, but it had been a while since he had fought someone seriously, and he didn't know his true strength at the moment. Therefore, he was eager to test himself, and since he felt no pressure from the Dou Ancestors on the opposing side, he decided to challenge a one-star Dou Venerate, which he thought would be appropriate.
However, he couldn't explain these reasons to his partner because the Snake Clan's experts who had lost their minds wouldn't give them the chance to talk.
After a momentary pause, the Snake Lord seemed to have assessed the situation and stomped his foot on the ground. In an instant, he appeared above Venerable Tian Huo's head and slammed his fist down with tremendous force.
"Roar!"
The Snake Lord unleashed a ferocious roar as his Dou Qi surged, coalescing into a colossal blood-red snake. The snake materialized into a corporeal form, emanating a bone-chilling sound. With a deafening hiss, it tore through space, generating a devastating gust of wind, and lunged at Venerable Tian Huo, also engulfing Xiao Ming and the girls within its range.
Even though the Snake Lord had lost his sanity, he instinctively used his Dou Qi to attack, clearly intending to take them down with one blow.
Seeing this, Venerable Tian Huo snorted coldly and was about to make his move, but the golden puppet next to Xiao Ming slowly raised its head, revealing a pair of cold and indifferent golden eyes. In a flash, it appeared in front of everyone like a golden sculpture and delivered a straightforward punch without any fancy movements!
As the fist struck, the space in front of them shattered, revealing black cracks.
Boom!
The shining golden fist collided heavily with the blood-red snake, unleashing a devastating force like a flood. With a mournful cry, the blood-red snake was shattered into countless pieces.
Although the Sky Demon Puppet successfully neutralized the attack, it was heavily slammed into the ground.
Without paying much attention to the fallen puppet, Venerable Tian Huo seized the opportunity and extended his palm, distorting the space in front of him. In an instant, he disappeared along with the Snake Lord, only to reappear high above the valley.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two of them engaged in a violent clash, their powerful blows reverberating through the air.
With a single thought, Xiao Ming commanded the Sky Demon Puppet, which had just acted, to fly up and assist him.
Immediately after, he turned his gaze towards the group of strong individuals rushing towards them.
'Sky Fire Three Mysterious Change: White Glazed Transformation!'
His hands moved swiftly, and his calm voice resonated within his mind. As the final word fell, his hand seal suddenly stiffened, and powerful white flames surged out of his body, enveloping him in the form of a humanoid figure made of white flames.
One second later, all the aura within his body converged, and in the next instant, it erupted like a volcano breaking free from the earth, surging out overwhelmingly.
White flaming Dou Qi surged from his body's surface, sweeping through the air and causing the temperature to rapidly rise due to the intense heat.
Beside him, the heavily wounded Tian Qing Zi was astonished by this scene. Amidst the previous crisis, he hadn't paid much attention to these young individuals. However, he hadn't expected this young man to possess such terrifying strength. With the assistance of a secret technique, his power had already reached a level nearly equal to that of a Dou Venerate.
Tian Qing Zi realized that, given his current condition, he might not be able to match him!
