Two venomous snakes collided mid-air, their mouths locking together. This bizarre posture momentarily stunned Lei Yu and the other.

"Will they poison themselves to death?"

"Probably… not, their physiques should be able to withstand it."

The two snakes fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then lifted their heads again, dashing Lei Shaoye's hopes of them self-destructing.

There was no other choice, they had to continue fighting.

The two men dove down again.

Fang Xiaoyu's twin swords, like fangs, pierced directly into the gaping maw of a venomous snake, shredding its tongue. The venom instantly flooded the snake's mouth.

Seizing this opportunity, she forcefully severed the snake's four fangs, causing even more venom to erupt and flow down its esophagus into its body.

After writhing a few times, the snake fell to the ground, lifeless.

"They really can poison themselves to death."

Wan Lei, riding his own venomous snake, his eyes shining brightly.

He dismounted, forcefully pried open the snake's mouth, stood on its lower jaw with his feet, and propped up its upper jaw with one hand. In his other hand, he held a hammer, striking the snake's fangs repeatedly. The venom immediately sprayed out,

drenching him.

Fortunately, he had the good habit of always wearing armor, otherwise, just that venom might have been enough to kill him.

Just like the fate of the previous snake, this one was also killed by its own venom.

After dealing with the two snakes, they turned their attention elsewhere.

Qian Duoduo was stronger, and instead of fighting his opponent head-on, he suppressed him with his Yin-Yang domain, gaining the upper hand.

On Yue Lingxi's side, they could barely hold their ground.

However, for He Shibada, Li Lei, and Wang Chao, the situation was dire.

They were already weaker, and were no match for the venomous snakes, only managing to fend them off.

They backed themselves against a small formation, looking as if they were about to flee into it for refuge at any moment.

But they didn't.

Because previously, each person had one opponent. If they retreated, the venomous snake attacking them would then attack others. They couldn't bring themselves to commit such a betrayal of their comrades for their own safety.

The two immediately took flight. Wan Lei went to assist He Shibada and the others, while Fang Xiaoyu headed towards Yue Lingxi.

Without a word, their bone-deep understanding allowed them to immediately discern how to fight.

Before Wan Lei even arrived, the spikes on his back had already struck the venomous snake.

Seeing someone coming to attack, the venomous snake immediately charged forward, engaging Wan Lei in battle.

This time, Wan Lei wanted to finish quickly, not wanting to waste any more energy.

He deployed his Sword Immortal Incarnation, grabbed the snake, and pinned it to the ground. Several sword strikes later, it was cut into pieces.

Fang Xiaoyu also quickly completed her task, dispatching the snake.

The two controlled their Sword Immortal Incarnations and moved towards the last venomous snake.

"It's okay, don't worry about me, I can do it. I must tear this venomous snake to shreds!"

Qian Duoduo's expression was solemn as he shouted loudly.

Without bothering with the theatrics, Wan Lei grabbed the snake. He spread his hands, and Fang Xiaoyu's sword strike cleaved between them, cutting the snake in half.

Then, the two hacked away at the snake on the ground, and in no time at all, it was chopped to pieces.

This was Lei Shaoye's third magnificent feat with his Sword Immortal Incarnation, after slaughtering pigs and chopping trees—

Chopping meat into mince!

Retrieving his Sword Immortal Incarnation, Wan Lei walked forward, hammer in hand.

There was still one last enemy to deal with.

"You… are strong. The Mountain-Moving Coolie did not die in vain."

The Red-Bottomed Monkey sat on the ground, its body scorched black and weak.

The previous flames had not taken its life, but they had significantly injured it.

Even though victory was now assured and the opponent had no chance of turning the tables, Lei Shaoye still didn't intend to be a verbose villain.

In Lei Shaoye's character, the opponent was merely a monkey seeking revenge, and trampling on its dignity offered no sense of accomplishment.

However…

"You and the Mountain-Moving Ape seemed to have a good relationship."

Wan Lei chuckled lightly.

"We fought for thousands of years."

Demon beasts typically had long lifespans, and moreover, this was the Wood Immortal Secret Realm, which was friendly to demon beasts. Therefore, even though they were at the Nascent Soul stage, it was true that they had lived for thousands of years.

"Since that's the case, then you can accompany each other on your journey."

Wan Lei flicked his wrist and set up the Ten Thousand Demon Array. Then, with another wave of his hand, the light of the Mountain-Moving Ape flashed across the array.

The three-zhang-tall great ape immediately appeared within the formation.

"Shan… Shan-Moving? You're not dead?"

The Red-Bottomed Monkey was startled at first, then enlightened. Its eyes blazed with fury, and it roared at Wan Lei,

"卑鄙的人类 (Despicable humans), you not only killed it but also enslaved it, making it your slave forever. You are shameless. The most greedy are you humans, the most evil and shameless…"

*Thump!*

Before the Red-Bottomed Monkey could finish speaking, it was punched in the face by the Mountain-Moving Ape.

"Hmph, didn't you have a good relationship? Then let your good friend personally kill you, so you can also taste the bitterness of betrayal by a friend."

Wan Lei acted exactly like a villain, a cold smile on his lips.

In his illusion, he had been betrayed by everyone, and that feeling was truly unforgettable.

The scene before him stirred his inner darkness once more.

"You dared to scheme against me, how could I let you off? How could I give you a quick end? Not only will your friend be my slave, but you too will be enslaved by me for all eternity."

Fang Xiaoyu frowned and glanced at Wan Lei. She sensed that Wan Lei's state was a bit off, but she didn't say much.

Whatever he wanted to do, she would just accompany him.

The Mountain-Moving Ape punched the Red-Bottomed Monkey repeatedly. The Red-Bottomed Monkey was no match for it to begin with, and was soon beaten to a pulp.

"Human, even if I die, I will not be your slave. Mountain-Moving Coolie, we fought for thousands of years. Now, you have fallen to become a human slave. Then, I shall grant you release!"

The Red-Bottomed Monkey roared, its body rapidly expanding.

It was going to self-destruct.

"Too late."

Wan Lei waved his finger lightly, and a beam of light descended, interrupting the Red-Bottomed Monkey's self-destruction and drawing it into the Ten Thousand Demon Array.

After doing this, Wan Lei finally put away the grand formation.

At this moment, not a single person stepped forward to offer any flattering words. They all pretended not to have seen anything.

What Wan Lei had said and done just now had somewhat startled them.

From the perspective of a righteous individual, such behavior was difficult to accept.

Killing a person was one thing, but killing… no, it was about killing a monkey's spirit, and that was a bit too much.

However, they couldn't say much. After all, they had not suffered any casualties in this battle, and it was all thanks to Wan Lei.

They wouldn't go out of their way to defend a monkey enemy against their own.

No one was that foolish. Since Wan Lei was so ruthless, they would simply avoid provoking him in the future.

"Found it."

From a distance, Qian Duoduo's excited shout could be heard.
