CHAPTER 459: CHAPTER 429 SAW-SCALED SNAKE

The Bear Demon had thick skin and flesh and a massive body. Faced with the oncoming slash of the Golden Crow Sword, it roared and swung its bear claw forward fiercely, unleashing an attack style akin to a martial art.

Such an attack is, in fact, a strike devised by demon beasts. As it evolves, it will further develop into a technique.

Many Golden Core Demons, while cultivating at the Golden Core Stage, reference the cultivation methods of the High-Tier Cultivators of the Human Race.

The Human Race is naturally attuned to cultivate Dao Bodies, which is why demon beasts favor transforming into human forms.

This particular Bear Fist, though not weak in power, was insignificant in the face of Lu Yuanshan in the Crystallization Stage.

The sword qi of the Golden Crow Sword erupted, and in an instant, burst forth with a dark golden glow, forcibly breaking apart the Bear Demon’s punch.

The Bear Demon’s claw was severed, unable to even howl in pain.

In the next moment, the Golden Crow Sword turned in the air, swiftly decapitating the Bear Demon with a single slash.

Quickly dealing with a Tier Two Demon Beast, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword was also undaunted, charging into the Demon Beast Group, swinging with great might, and within moments slew several Tier Two Demon Beasts like cutting chives.

Hiss hiss hiss.

A Tier Two High-Grade python, measuring over thirty zhang in length, stood out among the Demon Beast Group.

Its body was pitch black, with scales the size of palms, sharp and menacing, resembling a fan-shaped blade, deterring all from approaching, a challenging foe.

This belonged to the Saw-scaled Snake tribe of the Demon Beast race, aptly named the Saw-tooth Snake.

As the name suggests, its sharp scales all over its body hint at its mode of attack.

Entanglement.

Upon capturing prey, the Saw-tooth Snake doesn’t just apply crushing pressure like other pythons but uses its jagged-like scales to slice its victim.

Under the combined force and cutting of the saw-toothed scales, even prey with notable defenses would fall with regret.

A Tier Two Saw-tooth Snake, when entangling its prey, can unleash entangling force surpassing a million jin.

Slash.

The Saw-tooth Snake, initially coiled on the ground, upon spotting Lu Yuanshan flying low, suddenly shot up with great speed, opening its maw to bite Lu Yuanshan.

Its snake maw, when opened, was over a zhang wide, with two elongated sharp fangs the size of arms, emitting a bloody stench that nauseated those nearby.

Though the Saw-tooth Snake lacked venom, the bite was sufficient to swallow Lu Yuanshan whole.

Seeing this situation, Lu Yuanshan remained unflustered, using the Wind Thunder Wings to ascend swiftly, creating several zhang of distance, evading the attack.

The Saw-tooth Snake bit nothing, hissing loudly, while a glint flickered in its eyes.

It swung its massive body with explosive force, leaping skyward, aiming to entangle Lu Yuanshan.

The myriad of scales, at this moment, all flared open in an erect stance, aiming to ensnare and crush Lu Yuanshan.

Being entangled by the Saw-tooth Snake, under its immense power, the combined force of the scales would be devastating.

Even someone as strong as Lu Yuanshan, possessing Crystallization Stage power, dared not risk it.

If evasion was possible, it must be attempted.

"Ascend, don’t let it entangle you."

The voice of Lu Ping echoed in Lu Yuanshan’s mind as a reminder.

Lu Yuanshan, with a burst from the Wind Thunder Wings, unleashed immense agility, leaving only an afterimage behind.

The Saw-tooth Snake wound around the afterimage left mid-air, with its sharp scales slicing intensely, akin to blades.

Click click click.

Nevertheless, it was merely Lu Yuanshan’s afterimage, causing the Saw-tooth Snake, during the frenzied cut, to have its scales contact each other, creating ear-piercing friction.

Missing its strike, the Saw-tooth Snake twisted its body, turning its massive head slowly, spotting Lu Yuanshan’s hovering figure.

Lu Yuanshan, driving the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, was preparing to strike and kill.

At this time, the Saw-tooth Snake launched another attack, coiling towards Lu Yuanshan.

Lu Yuanshan easily dodged the Saw-tooth Snake’s assault.

Though failing to hit Lu Yuanshan, the Saw-tooth Snake wrapped around a same-tier Demon Beast upon landing.

Unable to attack Lu Yuanshan, its fury was redirected towards the Black-backed Demon Ape of the same tier.

Sssss.

The powerful constriction unfolded, tightly binding the two-zhang-sized Black-backed Demon Ape, which struggled in vain under the enormous pressure.

Moreover, the broad scale slicing bit into the Black-backed Demon Ape’s body, with each scale like a razor, slicing rapidly under the Saw-tooth Snake’s fearsome power.

Each scale, resembling saw teeth, cut open the Black-backed Demon Ape’s hide, prompting agonizing roars, as crimson blood flowed relentlessly, staining most of it red.

Soon, with another surge of force, intensifying the squeeze, sharp scales slashed deeper into the Black-backed Demon Ape’s flesh, slicing into bone.

The Black-backed Demon Ape was brutally dismembered into several pieces, turning into a bloody mess. Its howls abruptly ceased.

After strangling its prey, the Saw-tooth Snake would devour them.

However, at this moment, lacking the notion to feed, it hissed, with icy eyes fixed intently on Lu Yuanshan.

Witnessing the Saw-tooth Snake strangulate a Tier Two Demon Beast, Lu Yuanshan shuddered in realization of its terrifying nature.

Whoosh.

He drove the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, slashing obliquely from the sky, the sharp blade cutting towards the Saw-tooth Snake.

The Saw-tooth Snake, though large, with agility unmatched at its size among demon beasts, could not exceed the speed of Lu Yuanshan’s Flying Sword.

Clang!

A slash struck, with the Saw-tooth Snake unable to avoid it, cut deeply into its body, instantly splitting it in two.

Its scales, sharp and hard, comparable to Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts, were like brittle stones against the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, unable to withstand a single blow from this Lifebound Flying Sword.

Lu Yuanshan’s slash didn’t aim for the Saw-tooth Snake’s vulnerable spot, but he, possessing absolute power, arbitrarily targeted any part of the Saw-tooth Snake.
