CHAPTER 417: CHAPTER 282: SHE BETRAYED ME!

Chapter 282

At this moment, the Old Goat Monster could no longer bear it and had to leave the vicinity of the tower, roaring, "Everyone join forces to kill this monstrous snake, or none of us can enter! And we’ll all die here!"

Some were already too slow to dodge and were smashed into a pulp by a tail...

The killing power of this giant snake was so strong that it even made the Old Goat Monster’s heart palpitate.

This proposal made Wei Feng raise his eyebrows, while on Sui Yi’s side...

They had no choice but to agree, as it was the wisest choice—if they were determined to enter the Divine Temple.

Even though the Old Goat Monster and his people had attacked and killed some of their companions.

With a glance from Xiao Yu, those soldiers could only suppress their hatred.

The collective firepower of so many people was quite effective, and the giant snake was driven away from the Divine Temple Tower, roaring and swaying its body...

Wei Feng and his people had less consumption than Sui Yi and his group, seeming to have more ammunition on hand, and at that moment, a few of them pulled out hand grenades...

"Throw it into its mouth!"

"Throw it in!"

Undoubtedly, the snake’s skin was astonishingly defensive, capable of resisting knives, guns, and ammunition, but its internal flesh could not, otherwise it would really be a snake demon.

So several people wanted to throw hand grenades into the giant snake’s mouth when it opened...

But this giant snake darn well wouldn’t open its mouth...

"Damn it! It just opened its mouth to spew filth, and now it suddenly won’t... Han Gao, do you have a stink bomb!"

"No, Ninth Miss, that backpack was lost..."

"Then give me your socks!"

"..."

Han Gao was actually about to take off his socks... but was slapped away by Brother Ma, "With those socks of yours, you’d kill us first... This giant snake is very tricky! It got scared by the old man’s Black Meteor just now, it definitely won’t easily expose its weaknesses to us, unless we can force it to open its mouth..."

It wouldn’t be surprising if this mutated giant snake had also advanced in intelligence, as the ants and Earth Dragons they encountered before were sly enough to frustrate humans, not to mention the corpse plants Ye Changan and his group encountered in the mansion.

"Force, who will force it? You go?...oh~~~no! My Sui Yi!" Gong Jiu’s face turned green!

Because Sui Yi had suddenly snatched the grenade from Yueh Xiangnan’s hand... and leapt onto the snake’s head!

This action not only startled Xiao Yu, Gong Jiu, and the others but also scared Wei Feng and his group. Honestly, although they all wanted to kill the giant snake, they had never thought of being as decisive and risking their lives like Sui Yi.

It seemed she had no fear of death.

Liang Qing frowned, momentarily unsure what to think, but she noticed Wei Feng’s expression was complex, and he raised his gun... aiming at...

Sui Yi?

Bang!

The bullet shot out... hurtling towards Sui Yi...

Clang! It hit the snake tail behind Sui Yi, a tail that a snake could absolutely not have slapped!

The bullet’s echo startled Sui Yi, she dodged sideways, avoiding the tail slap!

Sui Yi steadied herself on the snake head, glanced at Wei Feng, then shouted down to the Old Goat Monster, "Give me your chain!"

Almost like a command!

The Old Goat Monster’s face muscles twisted, and he actually took off his mechanism bracelet and tossed it up...

Catching it, with a flick...

As the snake head shook violently and tossed Sui Yi upward... the chain swung by Sui Yi’s arm...

Directly looped over its huge head, a yank and a pull, Sui Yi secured herself on the snake head, Demon Que drawn! Aimed at its eyeball...

Fiercely a stab!

The giant snake seemed to sense the imminent danger and suddenly closed its eyes...

Clang! The tip of the sword struck the eyelid!

Metallic clashing noise...

Honestly, that scene made everyone present want to spit out a mouthful of old blood!

This had to be a snake demon, really a snake demon! How could this even happen!

That Demon Que of Sui Yi was supposed to be the most badass weapon here, able to sever hair and slice iron effortlessly!

And now it couldn’t even pierce through the eyelids!

Sui Yi frowned, but...

She extended her Magnetic Sensation, concentrated... using all her strength... suddenly transformed into a needle-like form, stabbing directly!

All-out stabbing!

The snake, as if in severe pain, shook its head wildly, and couldn’t help but open its eyes... pff!

A sword thrust down!

Fiercely pierced into its eyeball...

The snake went mad! Mad!

The Snake Mouth finally opened~~~

"Now’s the time!"

One after another, hand grenades were thrown in~~

"Damn, Sui Yi is still up there!" Flower Demon’s expression twisted, wishing he could just take a handgun and execute Wei Feng and the Old Goat Monster’s subordinates!

Xiao Yu and the others also had bitter expressions, considering Sui Yi was up there, that’s why they hadn’t thrown the grenades earlier..

Now...

Boom boom boom!

Several hand grenades were thrown into the giant snake’s mouth...

Explosion, terrifying explosion!

Sui Yi on the snake’s head was violently shaken, initially wanting to jump off, but then realized that the chain was bitten by the giant mouth, while her Demon Que was still on its eyeball...

The violently shaken Sui Yi obviously didn’t jump off, but tried to retrieve the Demon Que...

It was almost like a Hollywood fantasy movie 3D effect...

Sui Yi was like a Spartan warrior slaying a demon snake... well, no, a goddess!

The demon snake’s mouth splattered with flesh and blood, its head battered and tattered...

In everyone’s eyes... it was bound to die!

"Best if it blew up Sui Yi along with it!" the Old Goat Monster schemed, watching, waiting...

[Bang!]

The snake’s head finally smashed heavily onto the ground.

Sui Yi, too exhausted to continue, gripped Demon Que; she had used up all her strength and now couldn’t even muster the power to pull out the sword.

Was it finally over?

Was it over?

Many felt an unsettling palpitation—had they won?

Old Goat Monster and others, however, pointed their guns or weapons at Gong Jiu and Wei Feng...

At that moment!

Hiss, hiss, hiss~~

Countless, countless hissing sounds emerged.

Snakes, loads of snakes!

Some were pythons as long as five or six meters, coming from all directions!

Everyone heard the flute sound... that beautiful and melodious flute music...

"Anayi, it’s Anayi! She betrayed me!!" Old Goat Monster suddenly looked toward the Divine Temple Tower.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t suspected or been wary, but the moment she released them from that sealed main hall, all suspicions had been dispelled.

Yes, how could they have come out if she hadn’t made a move?

Who knew that letting them out was just...

Using them to kill the snake!

"She has already gone up!" Wei Feng said coldly, trying to rush toward the Divine Temple Tower, but...

Countless poisonous snakes surrounded them.

At this moment, everyone realized... they were all just pawns on a chessboard, and the real winner was Anayi!

Whether it was Wei Feng, Old Goat Monster, or Sui Yi...

They were all just pawns!

A three-sided battle: lure out the Divine Temple Tower’s guardian giant snake, unite to kill it...then use myriad poisonous snakes to bind them...

Everything was just to let her effortlessly enter the Tower!

She indeed had won!

In the complex web of friends and foes, there was only one victor.

————————

Atop the Divine Temple Tower... Anayi stood there with a mix of complexity and immense piety.

She looked down at the rosewood box in front of her.

Ancient, like the elegant rosewood box used for a lady’s makeup and embroidery, decorated with exquisite designs and a dark red base. It had been placed here for countless years, untouched by even a speck of dust~~

It floated motionlessly in the Blood Pool that occupied half of the top floor.

Immovable.

Anayi respectfully crossed her hands over her chest and knelt on the ground...

She bowed and as she straightened up...

An invisible silver thread wrapped around her neck.

"You best not move.. or your head will hit the ground... and your blood will become one of its offerings."

It? Who is it?

And who are you behind me?

————————

Anayi indeed did not move, utterly expressionless as she said, "Let me guess who you are... the capable person Old Goat Monster brought in... the mysterious Mr. Yun?"

Mr. Yun? A person of the Yun Family?

"You are indeed clever, no wonder you’ve survived under Old Goat Monster’s thumb for so many years... even playing him into applause."

"That’s nothing compared to how you saw through everything immediately upon arrival... Are you also here for Loulan’s supreme power?"

"Of course..."

Mr. Yun looked at the Blood Coffin, his expression stoic but his eyes wild: "It possesses the power to bring the dead back to life, to reverse time... it’s the most supreme authority in this world..."

"It belongs to me," he stated.

"That depends if you can open it... of course, first you have to get it," Anayi’s voice seemed filled with a bewitching power.

It, just floating above the Blood Pool...

As if within reach.

Mr. Yun narrowed his eyes, "Shouldn’t you be the one to take it out?"

"If I were to take it, it might not belong to you, Mr. Yun."

"Your life is in my hands, no, I should say your subordinate’s life is in my hands. I’m the only one who can cure his poison... Everything about you is under my control, can you really ignore him?"

"Haha," Anayi laughed, then lightly touched the silver thread on her neck... "Please remove your Coiling Dragon Silk, it can’t really threaten me, and if you keep it like this... I can’t make it float over to me~~"

Float over by itself?

Mr. Yun raised an eyebrow and didn’t refuse, smiling as he released the Coiling Dragon Silk. Since he dared to let go, it meant he had absolute confidence he could subdue this Ye Nayi...

Even though her power was far greater than his...

Her weakness was that Gao Yi!

Before Anayi completed her interrupted ritual, she knelt down in worship, bowed nine times, and thrice knocked her head, muttering words, then rose.

"This Blood Pool cannot be touched by ordinary people; just a touch from you or me would result in a horrible death. To awaken it, it can only be done...continuing the ritual performed once every thousand years by Loulan."

As she spoke, she lit one black torch after another on the walls.

These torches were strange, burning with blood-colored light completely different from ordinary flames.

It added a ghostly blood mystery.

One by one... there were nine in total.

Anayi had already lit six of them!

At that moment, the light from atop the Divine Temple Tower leaked out, falling into the eyes of Wei Feng and the others, its blood-colored weirdness driving them mad!
