"Damn, that strike was almost as powerful as Wu Quan Gui's full force attack before."
"No wonder no one dares to pick herbs in this valley. With just this move, besides Wu Quan Gui himself, no one else in the entire southwest could possibly withstand it!"
Seeing his sword being so easily broken by the giant snake, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, a hint of solemnity appearing on his face.
He could feel that the giant snake was not using its full strength yet.
However, if it was already this powerful without using its full strength, how terrifying would it be when it unleashed its full power?
"Senior Sister, be careful! This demonic beast's strength is probably comparable to Master's!"
After clearly assessing the Longyi Snake's true strength, Lin Chen did not forget to warn Zhang Ying.
He knew the power of his Senior Sister's formation. While the formation could certainly trap an ordinary late-stage Core Formation cultivator, this Longyi Snake was even stronger than Wu Quan Gui had been.
Whether this formation could truly affect the Longyi Snake was still an unknown.
"Alright, don't worry!"
"If you can't win, Junior Brother, feel free to leave. I'll use the formation to hold it back."
Zhang Ying also felt a bit worried. She knew how powerful her father was.
Even a powerhouse like Wu Quan Gui, who was at the half-step Nascent Soul realm, couldn't last three minutes in front of her father.
Even though Lin Chen had now reached the middle-stage Core Formation realm, he was likely no match for such a powerful being!
Although this valley was filled with treasures, and the Longyi Snake itself was a treasure trove,
She could tell that Lin Chen was tempted by the treasures on the Longyi Snake, otherwise, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk to try and kill it.
But no matter what, treasures were important, but life was definitely more important, wasn't it?
It would be a complete loss if he risked his life for a mere treasure.
Although her formation couldn't trap the Longyi Snake for long, it would definitely be enough to buy time for Lin Chen to escape!
"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I have my own way of dealing with it!"
Hearing Zhang Ying's words, Lin Chen was truly touched.
The Longyi Snake was so powerful, yet Zhang Ying, who was only at the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm, was willing to cover his escape.
This was clearly a move to sacrifice her own life to cover him!
This action made Lin Chen feel even more deeply moved.
"Flame Mountain Crush!"
Lin Chen directly took out the Lihuo Bracelet and put it on his hand, unleashing a wall of fire.
No demonic beast was not afraid of fire! Moreover, this was true Lihuo!
Lihuo was originally a fire of righteousness and integrity, perfectly suited to counter such vermin and snakes!
"Roar!!"
Seeing that Lin Chen could unleash such pure Lihuo, the Longyi Snake showed a look of human-like shock.
As a dignified Rank Four demonic beast, its perception of danger was far superior to other demonic beasts.
Therefore, it naturally sensed that this Lihuo posed a significant threat to its physical body!
"Senior Sister, help me trap it, and I'll burn it with Lihuo!"
Seeing that the Lihuo was actually effective against the Longyi Snake, Lin Chen's face broke into a smile.
This valley was narrow. As long as Zhang Ying's formation could trap it for ten minutes, he could use the Lihuo to burn it to death completely!
"Okay!"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Zhang Ying didn't hesitate. She immediately began controlling the formation and pressing down on the Longyi Snake.
The nine stars in the sky also moved instantly, trapping the giant body of the Longyi Snake.
"Roar!!!"
Its body suppressed and the flames approaching, the Longyi Snake's entire body began to thrash about, incessantly striking the formation, trying to escape.
It felt a deep threat from the flames. If it couldn't escape soon, it might truly die here!
Meanwhile, outside the valley.
"Huh? Sect Master, why is the demonic beast in this valley letting out such a cry of pain?"
An affiliated elder of the Blazing Fire Sect stared at the mist-shrouded valley, his expression filled with shock.
He could tell that the Longyi Snake was currently screaming in pain!
"Oh? Are you sure it's a cry of pain?"
Hearing the elder's words, Wu Zhi Xiong frowned.
Wasn't the giant snake just roaring loudly? It had done so before. Why did this elder of his insist it was a cry of pain?
"Reporting to the Sect Master, my family's lineage originally cultivated beast taming, so we are very sensitive to the calls of demonic beasts."
"The Longyi Snake's current cries convey terror and fear! It must have encountered a formidable enemy!"
The elder nodded, his expression filled with certainty.
Perhaps he might misperceive other things, but when it came to demonic beasts, he would never be wrong!
"Encountered a formidable enemy? How is that possible?"
Hearing the elder's words, Wu Zhi Xiong became even more disbelieving.
Are you kidding me? Others might not know the true strength of the Longyi Snake, but did he not?
After his father's cultivation broke through, the first thing he did upon entering this secret realm was to find this demonic beast, intending to claim all the herbs in the valley for himself.
But unexpectedly, this demonic beast had now reached the half-step Nascent Soul realm, and its cultivation was even more formidable than his father's!
Within five minutes, his father was defeated by the demonic beast, and their plan to collect herbs in the valley had failed.
Now, in the entire secret realm, even his father couldn't defeat the Longyi Snake and had to flee in disgrace. Who else dared to attack the Longyi Snake now?
And more importantly, according to his subordinate, the Longyi Snake was currently being beaten and crying out in pain!
This was simply impossible!
"Wait!"
However, after just a moment, Wu Zhi Xiong's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.
In the current secret realm, there was perhaps only one person who was qualified to challenge the Longyi Snake!
"Pass down the order! All Core Formation cultivators of the Blazing Fire Sect are to come here!"
"Hmph, hmph, this time our Blazing Fire Sect might be about to reap a tremendous benefit!"
Without any hesitation, Wu Zhi Xiong directly gave orders to the person beside him.
In the current secret realm, the only one qualified and capable of challenging the Longyi Snake, and beating it into cries of pain, was the murderer who killed his father!
Since he could bring the Longyi Snake to such a state, he must have also sustained significant injuries himself.
If he led his men into the valley at this moment, wouldn't it be a perfect opportunity to reap the rewards of their labor?
