Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Slaying the Two-Winged Black Serpent King, Reality’s Twist

?

John's magical skills could no longer break through the opponent's magical defenses. However, the Two-Winged Black Serpent King's attack was forcibly interrupted.

With unwavering confidence, John said, "Sorry, but I won't make a single mistake!"

As he spoke, countless sword blades descended, activating the Infinite Sword Array.

The Two-Winged Black Serpent King howled in agony, losing another hundred thousand health points.

But then, John's expression tightened in pain as a burning desire consumed his mind, clouding his judgment.

The Fox Demon Curse had chosen this critical moment to strike.

"Undead Lord, help me!" John frantically called out for aid in his mind.

"Hold on!" The Undead Lord, understanding the urgency of the situation, issued a sharp reminder and launched a soul attack on John.

"Ah!" John screamed as a stabbing pain seared through his mind, temporarily clearing his thoughts.

At that moment, a flame transformed into a long serpent, coiling around him in an instant.

The Two-Winged Black Serpent King's triumphant voice echoed, "Human, you made a mistake!"

Boom!

The fiery serpent exploded, and a terrifying damage number floated above John's head.

-1,654,000

[You have been instantly killed by the Two-Winged Black Serpent King. Undying and Immortal talent activated.]

A notification appeared.

John resurrected at full health, completely unharmed.

"Not dead? What's going on?" The Two-Winged Black Serpent King was shocked, staring at John in disbelief.

The last time the Three-Headed Black Dragon had struck, it failed to kill him. And now, once again, John had survived.

Suppressing the raging fire of desire within him, John struggled to stay conscious. "Sorry, but I can make countless mistakes too."

"So, you have some sort of resurrection ability," the Two-Winged Black Serpent

King realized, sneering. "But how many times can you resurrect?"

With that, it lunged at John again.

Buzz!

The sword hummed as Flying Sword Strike was unleashed once more.

However, the Fox Demon Curse severely impaired John's judgment, and the fierce sword light narrowly missed the serpent's massive body.

The Two-Winged Black Serpent King had braced itself for the attack, but as the sword light merely grazed past, it finally noticed something was wrong with John. Delighted, it burst into laughter. "Haha! So, you've been afflicted with some negative status effect. The heavens are on my side!"

With that, it lunged at John, jaws wide open, intending to swallow him whole.

Once inside, there would be no escape-John would be doomed.

Barely maintaining his clarity, John activated the Assassin skill: Dance of the Void.

His form instantly merged into the void, causing the Two-Winged Black Serpent King's attack to miss once again. Immediately after, it was enveloped in a flurry of icy blades.

Slash!

Black blood splattered as the serpent lost another hundred thousand health points.

"Curse you! I will tear you limb from limb, human!" The string of failures drove the serpent into a rage. Ignoring the damage John was dealing, its attacks grew more ferocious.

[You have been instantly killed by the Two-Winged Black Serpent King. Undying and Immortal talent triggered.]

Once more, John was killed.

Panic swelled within him as the flames of insatiable desire burned brighter. This approach was clearly unsustainable.

"Undead Lord, is there any other way?" John, feeling desperate, called out to the Undead Lord for help again.

"Kid, I've realized that meeting you has been the unluckiest thing in my life. Don't resist!" the Undead Lord warned, and a massive surge of soul power flooded John's mind, merging with his soul in an instant.

The effects of the Fox Demon Curse were significantly reduced.

The Undead Lord's weakened voice echoed, "Kid, you've absorbed my soul power. You can suppress the curse for now."

"Thank you, elder. Once I get out of here, I'll help you be reborn," John said, this time with genuine gratitude. He could feel that the Undead Lord had sacrificed part of its soul to assist him.

"We'll see about that when you actually make it out," the Undead Lord replied, not holding out much hope.

John's eyes cleared, and a Wind Blade Rupture cut through the air, interrupting the Two- Winged Black Serpent King's attack once more.

"It's over!" John declared coldly as his sword aura flared up, overwhelming the Two-Winged Black Serpent King.

The Fox Demon Curse hadn't entirely dissipated, but its influence on him had diminished

significantly.

Slash!

Black blood splattered as the serpent roared in fury, its health rapidly dwindling.

Soon, its health dropped below a million.

The Two-Winged Black Serpent King's eyes filled with fear as it bellowed, "Kid, this isn't over between us!"

With that, it spread its wings and took to the skies, attempting to flee.

"Hmph, you won't escape!" John sneered, unleashing Flying Sword Strike once more, striking

the serpent.

Then, his longsword flew from his hand, slicing through the air in pursuit under his control.

Sword Mastery!

The longsword moved with agility, repeatedly striking the Two-Winged Black Serpent King and dealing over twelve thousand true damage with each hit.

"What kind of monster are you?" The serpent watched in horror as its health plummeted. It flapped its wings desperately, trying to speed up its escape, but it couldn't shake off the relentless flying sword. Its health was quickly running out.

"Lord Black Dragon, save me!" It roared in desperation, calling for help from the Three-

Headed Black Dragon.

But in the next moment, the Unrivaled Sword Array enveloped it, and its remaining health-

less than a hundred thousand-was swiftly drained.

With a thunderous crash, the massive corpse of the black serpent fell to the ground.

[You have killed a level 1000, seventh-tier epic Two-Winged Black Serpent King, gaining 1.08

million experience points.]

[Plunder talent activated: Constitution +100, Spirit +100, Skill Points +10.]

...

The notifications flickered, and John finally let out a sigh of relief.

He was fortunate to have had the Undead Lord's assistance; otherwise, this encounter could

have ended disastrously.

The Undying and Immortal talent wasn't as invincible as it seemed. If he died too many times, his soul would still suffer damage.

While his soul would remain intact, preventing true death, if it reached that point, he might end up like the Undead Lord, forced to abandon his physical body to protect his soul.

The cost of such a decision was far too great.

At that moment, the weakened voice of the Undead Lord echoed in his mind, "Kid, the Fox Demon Curse is incredibly insidious. Although you managed to suppress it this time, the next time it acts up, it might be even worse. You could completely lose your mind. Be careful." "Is it that serious?" John frowned deeply. Trapped in the Abyss, he was completely cut off from the outside world. Without the help of Sini and the others, he had no way to resolve it if

the curse struck again.

He couldn't possibly deal with it himself, could he?

John shook his head, deciding not to dwell on the issue. He would figure something out when the time came. Right now, the most important thing was to level up.

He glanced at the items dropped by the Two-Winged Black Serpent King—a seventh-tier legendary longsword. The stats were decent, but with the Sword of Divinity and Demons in

his possession, it hardly interested him.

John casually stored the sword and took off using Sword Flight, heading deeper into the forest

to hunt even stronger Abyss demons.

...

In the Real World.

John had been missing for three days, and during this time, several significant events had

occurred.

Most notably, on the Mike White Family's side, an Attribute Fusion Stone had surfaced.

This wasn't something orchestrated by Ritchie or John; Toby had somehow acquired a large number of these stones.

At that moment, Gaia, battered and covered in blood, had fled to Ritchie's place, seeking

refuge. Ritchie, his brow furrowed, still found it hard to believe. "You're saying Toby has another expert by his side? Even you couldn't take them on?"

Gaia, now a third-tier Dragon Knight with formidable strength due to attribute fusion,

should have been unbeatable by anyone except for Ritchie, John, and a few other powerful members of the Blues Family.

Gaia nodded, his eyes filled with fear as he trembled, "I don't know where those guys came

from. I've never heard of them before. The most terrifying part is that their abilities don't seem to be from the World of Gods, and Toby is extremely deferential to them."

He paused, looking at Ritchie before continuing, "I suspect that those people are ancient

martial arts masters from your country."

"Impossible," Ritchie denied immediately.

Currently, the most powerful among the Ancient Martial Arts families was the Blues Family,

and they had already unified the Ancient Martial Arts world. Who would dare to support the

Mike White Family from the shadows? Unless it was the Blues Family themselves...

The thought made Ritchie swallow nervously.

Based on Gaia's description, only the Blues Family had the strength to pull this off.

Could it be that the Blues Family had betrayed them?

Ritchie's expression grew serious as he paced back and forth. He hadn't been able to reach

John for days, and his worry was growing.

He had asked Sini, but she, too, couldn't contact John. All she knew was that John was still in

the World of Gods and wasn't in immediate danger.

But now, with so much happening, Ritchie desperately needed John's help.

The Mike White Family, instead of being weakened by their schemes, had somehow acquired

a large number of Attribute Fusion Stones and grown even stronger.

They were now making moves against various other factions.

"You may leave," Ritchie waved Gaia off, then called out, "Someone, get me in touch with the

Blues Family!"

He needed to confirm whether the Blues Family was really backing the Mike White Family.

If they were, then the Blues Family would have to be dealt with first.

His Flame Legion had 1,200 members who had integrated attributes into reality, so they could

potentially stand against the Blues Family.

Plus, he had the military's support.

Soon, the call connected, and an aide handed the phone to Ritchie.

"Armstrong, it's Ritchie," he said immediately.

"What is it?" Armstrong's voice on the other end sounded tired, as if he hadn't rested in a

long time. Ritchie probed, "I just received word that there's an Ancient Martial Arts family supporting the Mike White Family. Do you know who it is?"

There was a long silence on the other end before Armstrong finally spoke, "They aren't an

Ancient Martial Arts family. They're a force far beyond that. Don't provoke them. Keep a low profile for the next few days."

"Not an Ancient Martial Arts family?" Ritchie was even more puzzled.

Just as he was about to ask more, Armstrong continued, "Also, I need to ask a favor. My sister might be in danger soon. I want her to take refuge with your military."

"Of course," Ritchie agreed without hesitation. He knew Armstrong's sister, Tracy, had a

close relationship with John.

He would do anything for John, even if it meant granting Armstrong's request.

If the Blues Family wanted Tracy to seek refuge with the military, it was clear that the force

behind the Mike White Family wasn't them. Moreover, it seemed the Blues Family might be

facing their own threats.

Armstrong added, "Remember, do not act rashly. Wait for news from my brother-in-law, or... never mind, this isn't something you need to worry about. I've got to go. Goodbye." Without waiting for a response, Armstrong hung up.

"What exactly is going on?" Ritchie frowned deeply. He had a sense that the situation on the

Blues Family's side was even more serious than he had thought.

They seemed to know something but were unwilling to share it.

Frustrated, Ritchie decided to re-enter the World of Gods. For now, the most important thing

was to increase his strength.
