CHAPTER 927: CHAPTER 280: AN EYE FOR AN EYE

The Giant Snake was immensely powerful, and even with the combined efforts of Mu Feng and the others, they could only inflict superficial wounds on its skin.

The Giant Snake became enraged, its strong tail sweeping towards Mu Feng and the others. Mu Feng’s expression changed, and he shouted to Moo Yaen and Moo Sen, "Get away!"

Moo Yaen and Moo Sen quickly retreated, releasing the vines entangled around the Giant Snake, allowing its movements to become even more agile.

Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen’s faces darkened slightly. Mo Yunchen took Qin Qin’s hand, saying, "Stay on the sidelines."

Understanding Mo Yunchen’s intentions, Qin Qin grabbed his hand in return, "Let’s go together."

This fool, did he really want her to hide while he went alone? He didn’t even want her to take risks, so how could she let him go alone?

"I’m not weak; I can handle this snake."

Mo Yunchen gazed deeply at Qin Qin, then tightly squeezed her hand before letting go, "Be careful, don’t get hurt."

"I understand, I won’t get hurt, and neither can you."

"Alright!"

With that, the two of them exuded a formidable and fierce aura, charging forward in perfect synchrony. Just as Moo Yaen and Moo Sen released the vines, they swiftly grabbed them, dodging the snake’s tail attack. Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin each held onto a vine, running towards a sturdy tree and tightly securing the vine to the trunk, which weakened the Giant Snake’s attack power slightly.

Mu Feng, who was attacking the Giant Snake head-on, took a moment to glance at this scene, struck by the harmony of their actions. As the snake’s tail swept towards them, these two were already moving forward, showing no fear at all, quickly evading the tail, and swiftly tying the vines to the trees.

He marveled at their skills and was sincerely impressed. If it weren’t for the issue with Tingting, perhaps he would have approached them to make friends. However, even if he wanted to now, these two probably wouldn’t be willing.

Qi Tianshang stood there staring at Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin’s synchronized movements, a familiar pain rising in his chest. This time, he didn’t have to be here; he came because he worried for her, and also perhaps to give himself closure. He had waited for her so long, long enough to feel weary, yet she still didn’t belong to him.

Qi Tianshang gave a bitter smile; it was he who had pushed her away so ruthlessly. Whom could he blame?

Stopping himself from overthinking, Qi Tianshang took advantage of the moment Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen restrained the Giant Snake, leaping up to step on the snake’s vulnerable spot. In those sharp phoenix eyes, a black aura flashed, which was his Demonic Qi.

Infusing his fist into a palm strike, he hit the Giant Snake’s vulnerable spot fiercely. The Giant Snake thrashed in excruciating pain.

Qi Tianshang delivered several more strikes, pouring Demonic Qi into his palms, hitting the Giant Snake’s vulnerable spot mercilessly. After several strikes, the Giant Snake gradually ceased moving.

Mu Feng and the others stood rooted in place, shocked as they watched Qi Tianshang. Who exactly were these three people?

As the Giant Snake silently began to sink into the lake, Qi Tianshang jumped to the shore, leaning painfully against a nearby tree, the lingering Demonic Qi in his eyes causing discomfort. To ensure Qin Qin wouldn’t have to deal with this Giant Snake, to prevent her from getting hurt, he had no choice but to use all his strength to kill this Giant Snake.

"Are you alright?"

Moo Sen stood closest to Qi Tianshang. Although he wasn’t familiar with Qi Tianshang, seeing as the guy saved them, he felt obligated to ask.

Qi Tianshang raised his head, his phoenix eyes filled with Demonic Qi, black tinged with red, staring fiercely at Moo Sen.

Upon seeing his eyes, Moo Sen took a step back, coldly exclaiming.

Mu Feng and Moo Yaen also noticed the unsound aspect in Qi Tianshang’s eyes, the intense aura filled with murderous intent as if it could devour them whole.

Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen stood together, looking towards Qi Tianshang. Both noticed the abnormality in his eyes. Qin Qin knew this was the Demonic Qi he spoke of, and it seemed something wasn’t quite right with him.

"Qi Tianshang!"

Qin Qin’s clear and sweet voice rang out, filled with complexity.

Originally, she intended to deal with the Giant Snake alongside Mo Yunchen. However, after they’d secured the vines, she had already seen Qi Tianshang leap onto the snake. Others might not see the black aura in his palms, but she had ghost eyes, and could clearly see it. She knew that black aura was the Demonic Qi he’d mentioned.

Watching him strike the Giant Snake ruthlessly, his gaze momentarily sweeping over her face, she understood what his eyes tried to convey when he looked at her. Qi Tianshang didn’t want her to go up; he wanted to handle that Giant Snake himself.

In that instant, she felt a surge of discomfort. She clearly hated Qi Tianshang for causing her and Mo Yunchen so much pain with their separation. Yet, over these few days in his company, she was reminded of Qi Shangyi, that foolish man who had done so much for her, the man she owed a debt to for the rest of her life, a debt she could never repay.
