A few deep breaths later, Jian Chen suddenly opened his eyes to reveal a bright glow to them. Straight away, Jian Chen stamped forwards with the corroded iron rod in his right hand starting to exude a bright yellow glow. Just like lightning, the rod shot forward with a whooshing sound.
At the same time, a green stick suddenly flew forward from the grass like a bullet and quickly approached Jian Chen with frightening speeds.
In midair, Jian Chen’s rod and the green stick collided with each other, causing the green branch to stop moving. As it slowly stopped, Jian Chen saw that the iron point of the rod had pierced straight through the body of it.
At that moment, the two of them suddenly realized that the stick was actually a green viper. It was as thick as an adult’s arm, and the part of it that was currently visible was 2 meters long.
A powerful wind rushed past Jian Chen’s ear, as he saw Tie Ta swipe his large battleaxe towards the viper with an ear-splitting noise.
The large battleaxe slashed at the viper’s body, and its power was so strong that the viper was flung almost 10 meters backwards before it fell to the ground with a soft noise. However, the weeds around their current location grew so lush that, putting aside 10 meters, Jian Chen and Tie Ta could barely see 5 meters ahead of them.
“Hurry up and chase after it. We cannot let it hide itself.” Jian Chen clearly understood how unfavorable the situation was for them. His body flashed as he chased after the viper at high speeds. Under these circumstances, if the viper managed to carefully hide away from sight, then the two of them would be in huge trouble. After all, every step in front of them was covered with weeds, and it was difficult to see anything on the ground. It would be extremely difficult to defend against the viper if it prepared to lie in wait.
Without any hesitation, Tie Ta ran towards the direction that Jian Chen had raced in. Once Tie Ta caught up with Jian Chen, Jian Chen had already stopped moving. About 3 meters away, that viper had lifted its head up high, its ice-cold eyes looking at them, its forked tongue flicking in and out.
When the viper lifted its body, it was 1.5 meters tall. Its body, which was as thick as an adult’s arm, had two wounds on it. One of them was the bloody hole that Jian Chen had left; it was so deep that the viper’s bone could be seen. The other was the long wound that Tie Ta had left; it stretched down the viper’s thick body. The outside of the wound was a mess of flesh, with fresh, red blood pouring down ceaselessly from it.
Jian Chen’s eyes cautiously followed the viper’s movements. Although the viper in front of them was a species with relatively weak attack, it was still a Class 1 Magical Beast. Its power would not be any weaker than a Saint that had already condensed his Saint Weapon.
Tie Ta looked at the viper with a serious expression. The veins on his hands popped out as he gripped his battleaxe tightly, prepared to attack with all his strength at any moment.
While both parties were in a deadlock, Jian Chen finally acted. The short 3 meter distance was nothing to him, and with a sway of his body, Jian Chen had already covered 2 meters of distance. In an instant, he appeared in front of the viper. The iron rod in his hand made an ear-piercing cry as it was thrust forward faster than the naked eye could see, headed straight for the viper that was currently seven inches away.
The viper gave a rough cry as it nimbly darted its body to the side to evade the fatal blow.
Despite this, that corroded iron rod still managed to deeply pierce a hole through its body, the sharp tip poking out through its other side.
“Si!” The strong pain made the green viper cry out hoarsely, its mouth open wide.
“Yahei!” Tie Ta’s movements were quick, as he used all his strength to slash his battleaxe down hard towards the viper’s head.
The battleaxe passed through the fist-sized viper’s head, sending it flying high up into the air. A rain of blood fell down, and fresh blood crazily spurted out from the wound on its green body. In an instant, the surrounding weeds were covered in red.
