Dragon War God

Chapter 166 – Critical Moment!

Chapter 166 – Critical Moment!

The situation had risen to a crescendo!

Yin Mengyao released the Churning Sea Seal once more, and it crashed towards the nearest Yin Snake Demon behind her like a roaring wave just as it charged at her!

Boom!

There was a loud explosion. The Yin Snake Demon was just about to pounce on Yin Mengyao but was hit instead, and it let out a hissing screech!

Its thick body burst open from the impact. Blood and flesh flew in all directions, with black venom mixed in!

But the Yin Snake Demon was not dead yet. It had dodged just in the nick of time, so there was only a large crater in its neck. It crashed into the ground and rolled around manically, snapping the surrounding trees in half!

Crash!

A gigantic, black boulder was shattered by the injured Yin Snake Demon!

When the other Yin Snake Demons saw how brutally injured their friend was, they grew even more furious and let out angry hisses. The gigantic snakes slithered across the ground and then shot towards Yin Mengyao like poison arrows!

Yin Mengyao’s most powerful attack, the Churning Sea Seal, had only injured one Yin Snake Demon. When she saw that the other poison beasts had begun to attack, grief and despair filled her eyes.

At this moment, all she could do was use up the last of her Qi and pounce at the nearest Yin Snake Demon, trying to clear a path for herself with a desperate attack!

But Long Chen would never let such a beautiful girl die in front of him like this.

“Churning Sea Seal!”

In the face of her attack, the Yin Snake Demon she was facing spat a mouthful of thick black gas. It was poisonous gas, and Yin Mengyao felt her head spin after just one whiff of it!

“Hold your breath!” Long Chen warned. Yin Mengyao suddenly remembered that she had a partner.

Is he here to save me? When she had this thought, Yin Mengyao was already engaged in an intense battle with a Yin Snake Demon using her most powerful attacks.

Boom!

Consecutive explosions sounded. The shockwaves blasted Yin Mengyao out into the air!

She hadn’t managed to clear a path for herself like she imagined she would. Instead, the Yin Snake Demon’s attacks blasted her back towards the others!

But the Yin Snake Demon that withstood her attack suffered too. It sustained injuries even more severe than the previous one. Bright, red blood covered its head, and its eyes were sunken. It looked like it had been blinded by Yin Mengyao!

But Yin Mengyao wasn’t safe yet. In fact, she was in even more danger!

Behind her, the remaining Yin Snake Demons snapped their terrifying mouths at her!

When her last move failed, Yin Mengyao had lost all hope.

“Long Chen ...”

Yin Mengyao felt helpless when she thought of him. She’d burdened him, and he would be disqualified from the event.

A revolting stench attacked her first. Yin Mengyao closed her eyes and gave up!

That was when a powerful force charged behind her!

Boom, boom, boom!

All she heard were consecutive explosions, along with the cries from the Yin Snake Demons!

Yin Mengyao finally snapped out of her daze and realized that she had just been saved. She quickly looked back and froze when she saw the red silhouette.

“Long Chen, is that really you?”

“Who else could it be? Is there anyone in the world as handsome as me?”

Long Chen punched as hard as he could with the strength provided by the Level Two Blazing Thunder Combat Body. His fist landed on one of the Yin Snake Demons, and the sharp spines on his hand poked a huge hole in its body!

This punch was also packed with the power of the Burning Devil Sun Collision to achieve this effect!

Yin Mengyao wasn’t revolted by his answer. All she felt was infinite gratitude.

She was greatly aware of the Yin Snake Demons’ strength, yet Long Chen had risked his life to save her. Although she didn’t speak of it, she would remember this act of kindness very well!

He seems to be quite strong! To her surprise, Long Chen looked cool when he attacked the Yin Snake Demon again and again. Although it was difficult to kill the rest of them, at least he had no problems defending himself, even forcing one of them back!

How is he so strong even though he’s only at the initial Earthly Core Realm? Long Chen is definitely in the top ten in the qualifiers, perhaps even the top five!

Long Chen could fight the Yin Snake Demon off so easily mostly due to his Level Two Blazing Thunder Combat Body. He had a huge advantage in melee combat. However, they were all Black-tier beasts, so he could only severely injure them at most.

“Let’s go!”

It was meaningless to continue fighting the Yin Snake Demons. Therefore, after he had just forced a few of them back, he grabbed Yin Mengyao and ran towards the Mortal Caves without another word!

He held her tender hand in his.

But Long Chen’s mind did not stray. She might have a relationship with Mo Xiaolang, and he wouldn’t touch a brother’s woman. Plus, Ling Xi was right there with him.

They both sprinted off, but the Yin Snake Demons who were not injured gave chase. Tens of thousands of venomous snakes poured out of the cave like a flooding river, also chasing after the duo. It was a magnificent sight!

Every tree trunk, root, and leaf was covered by the swarm of snakes!

The red swarm of snakes glinted coldly in the night.

However, Long Chen did not panic. They were both slightly faster than the Yin Snake Demons. After about four hours, they finally shook them off!

Long Chen collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.

He hadn’t been this tired in a long time.

At this point, he let go of Yin Mengyao’s hand. After holding her arm for almost four hours, his hand was numb too. The Yin Snake Demons were too terrifying, so he’d been solely focused on running.

“Long Chen, I think I’m poisoned.”

Yin Mengyao was leaning against a tree trunk with her head lowered.

After running for so long, her long hair had come untied. She looked very disheveled at the moment, but her cold beauty still shone through.

Long Chen’s expression changed. He quickly lifted her head and discovered that her face was ghostly pale, her gaze was unfocused, and her red lips had turned black. They were so black that they looked like they were going to bleed!

She raised her left arm, and he pulled up her sleeve to find a black mark on her fair hand. That was the point where the snake venom had entered.

“How did this happen?” Long Chen’s brows were knitted.

“I don’t know either. This is the arm I used for the Churning Sea Seal. Maybe a Yin Snake Demon’s venom splashed on me when I injured it ...

“I’ve heard that some beasts can spray their venom into the air ...”

Yin Mengyao had only fought the snakes for a short while, but she had ended up poisoned. However, Long Chen seemed fine even though he had attacked all the surrounding snakes while rescuing her.

But after what she said, Long Chen recalled that he himself had stinging pain in some parts of his body while fighting the Yin Snake Demons, though the pain had disappeared quickly, so he hadn’t thought much of it.

Unless ... Am I poisoned too?

If that were the case, they would be in huge trouble. Long Chen gasped and was about to check his own body when Ling Xi said, “Don’t worry. Although you were also poisoned, you’re fine.”

“Why?”

Ling Xi was more knowledgeable in this matter. Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard her say that.

“I’m guessing that the dragon blood flowing in your veins neutralized the venom. That measly venom has completely disappeared.”

“What about Yin Mengyao?”

“Due to overexertion and running too fast, her blood flow sped up and caused the venom to spread. Under normal circumstances, the venom wouldn’t have resulted in her current state.”

Long Chen was about to search for a solution, but she had already taken out some spiritual medicine from her Universe Pouch. The effects of the venom were worsening, so she had to save herself quickly.

“Snake venom is stronger than the venom from the Abyssal Scorpions. The medicine she is using to treat herself won’t work,” said Ling Xi helplessly with worry in her eyes.

“What?!” Long Chen panicked.

“Long Chen, the snake venom is too intense. I can barely suppress it using my Qi and spiritual medicine, but I don’t think I can hold on much longer.”

Yin Mengyao was the most familiar with her own body.

Her beautiful eyes were shaky as she looked up, took a deep breath, and said with great sorrow, “I can’t believe I was the one who burdened you. I’m sorry, Long Chen ...”

“What nonsense is that? It’s not like I have no way to save you.”

Long Chen comforted her and was about to ask Ling Xi if there was a way to solve the problem when Ling Xi’s expression suddenly changed and she exclaimed, “Long Chen, run! Jin Sheng’en, Chu Yunxi, and the others are here!”

His expression changed too when he heard her, and he wanted to run off carrying Yin Mengyao, but they were too quick. Within a few breaths’ time, they emerged from forest before him!

When Jin Sheng’en saw Long Chen from afar, he let out a bout of manic laughter.

“Yin Mengyao, Long Chen, it really is you two! I was just curious about who would agitate so many venomous snakes like that. So it was you guys! The heavens are helping us!”

“Long Chen!” There was madness in Chu Yunxi’s eyes. “There is no one here to save you this time! I will kill you today!”

As they spoke, Jin Sheng’en, Chu Yunxi, and the two other Gold family prodigies shot out instantaneously toward Long Chen like arrows!

They all looked at each other and then divided into two teams with two in front and two behind Long Chen. Long Chen and Yin Mengyao were surrounded.

“Let’s see where you’ll run to this time!” Now that Long Chen was right in the palm of his hand, the tsunami of hatred in Chu Yunxi’s heart turned him mad.

“Brother Chu, torture him to your heart’s content! I’ll hold Yin Mengyao back for you. Put on a good show for us, will you?

“What?! Has Yin Mengyao been poisoned?!”

Everyone else followed Jin Sheng’en’s gaze. Indeed, Yin Mengyao was ashen, and her lips were black.

She was obviously poisoned.

Chu Yunxi relaxed completely.

“Long Chen, die ...”
