Whoosh!
Barely dodging to the side as several earth spikes suddenly erupted from the ground beside him, Xuan Hao felt a shiver run down his spine as he began to feel the deadly threat of the snake in front of him brought as he could do nothing outside of defending and dodging its attacks!
This was the first time Xuan Hao had ended up in such a situation!
Boom!
The snake charged over once again, but this time Xuan Hao did not manage to dodge as he was thrown back.
By this point, he had already clashed with the snake several times and had yet to find any weakness that he would be able to take advantage of to injure the snake.
This in turn had resulted in Xuan Hao ending up more and more injured as he did not have any way of truly injuring the snake with his sword attacks.
Xuan Hao also felt the pressure brought upon him by the snake's earth domain slowly increase with time as he felt his own pseudo sword domain constantly weakening under the pressure of a true domain.
At this point, Xuan Hao was certain that his pseudo sword domain would not be able to hold up for much longer under the constant attack of the snake's earth domain.
"Hm?" It was at this crucial moment that Xuan Hao noticed a small change at a few different places on the snake's body when it had attacked him earlier with the earth spikes.
The snake's body had momentarily glowed a gentle yellow hue as it had attacked with the earth spikes.
This was not out of the ordinary as it had merely used the yellow earth qi to summon forth the earth spikes to attack him, what Xuan Hao paid attention to was not this, but instead a few spots on the snake's body that remained glowing in a gentle yellow hue for a longer period of time. Even after the attack had finished and the snake already returned to normal.
"Nothing to lose at this point…" Not really able to find any other indication of a potential weak point that the snake had, Xuan Hao decided to try and attack the different spots on the snake's body that had been surrounded by earth qi for a little longer compared to the rest of its body.
Whoosh!
Xuan Hao did not wait for the snake to attack and instead took the offensive. Charging over towards the snake as he focused on the different spots on the snake's body as his sword qi erupted from the tip of his sword before splitting up into several different small streams of sword qi that quickly arrived and pierced into the several different places on the snake's body at once.
"HISS!"
A loud hissing sound filled with pain could be heard as the snake began squirming weirdly on the ground as Xuan Hao clearly felt that his sword attack had easily pierced into the snake.
Maybe it was because it did not take Xuan Hao's attack seriously after clashing with him several times and being hit without any injury. The snake did not defend against Xuan Hao's attack and instead completely ignored it.
Hoping to use the opportunity to end the thief in front of it once and for all with a fatal attack!
But things did not go according to what it planned and instead it suddenly felt an enormous pain spread throughout its entire body as a weird glowing blue liquid began coming out of the places Xuan Hao had pierced.
Xuan Hao watched this and saw the glowing blue liquid corrode the ground where it landed.
Along with the snake squirming around on the ground, this glowing blue liquid flew into the distance and even hit a few farmer houses in the distance as the family inside ran out in fear as they watched the house disappear in a matter of seconds under the corrosion of the glowing blue liquid.
"Hisssss!"
The snake did not take long to recover as it turned around and glared at Xuan Hao full of hatred and killing intent.
Not only had he stolen away the Source Crystal, but he had also wounded it!
Whoosh~
Xuan Hao did not wait for the snake to overcome its pain and had already launched another attack towards the snake when it hissed angrily towards him full of killing intent.
The attack this time around was a little different from the earlier attack where he had focused on all the different spots located on the snake's body and was instead a direct attack that focused on only one of the different weak points on the body of the snake.
The attack earlier, while it had indeed injured the snake, Xuan Hao clearly saw that the snake did not take too much damage from the attack.
The attack was after all on several different places at once and was therefore weak compared to a single attack with all his power focused on one place at once.
Therefore, even when the snake hissed out in pain and what he presumed was the blood of the snake flowed out from the wounds he inflicted, Xuan Hao did not let this fool him into believing that he had fatally injured the snake or something along that line.
Bang!
A terrifying sword qi gathered on the tip of his sword as he charged over towards the snake!
The attack he had used this time was the First Move from the Untold Swords Mantra, Sword Shadow!
Xuan Hao did not care about keeping the attack hidden and instead focused on keeping the vortex of sword qi under control until he managed to reach the snake.
"Hiss!" Sensing the terrifying sword qi gathered in the sword as it watched Xuan Hao approaching, the snake let out a threatening hiss, clearly feeling the threat brought about by the hidden vortex of sword qi growing stronger and stronger within the sword of Xuan Hao as he closed in on it.
Bang!
The snake did not dare to ignore the attack like it had done in the past and for the first time began going on the defensive as the ground around it suddenly moved and formed into several giant earth spears that flew in the direction of Xuan Hao while a yellowish barrier began forming around its body.
Earth qi was considered to be one of, if not the strongest when it came to defensive techniques!
Coupled with the snake's earth domain, a terrifying defensive barrier covered the snake as it prepared to block Xuan Hao.
Not believing that the earth spear thrown after him would do much other than buy a bit of time for it to set up more defensive measures and strengthen the yellowish barrier made of a combination between its qi and domain.
Whoosh~
Like the snake had already expected, Xuan Hao spent an extra few seconds dodging the earth spears throw out by the snake.
However, Xuan Hao still arrived in front of the snake as he brought down his sword towards the yellowish barrier formed by the snake.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The vortex of sword qi formed by Xuan Hao erupted as it combined together with his pseudo sword domain to fight against the yellowish barrier and earth domain of the snake.
"Hiss!"
Slowly, the barrier of the snake began to show signs of cracking as it began panicking.
BOOM!
But this did not last for long as the barrier of the snake soon shattered under the sword qi vortex of Xuan Hao.
At this point Xuan Hao was barely able to keep the sword qi vortex under control as he used the last remaining control he had and directed it towards a weak point located on top of the snake's head.
Xuan Hao quickly retreated as the vortex of sword qi entered the body of the snake through the weak point on top of the head and with Xuan Hao no longer keeping the vortex of sword qi under control, it fully erupted as it tried to expand while still inside the head of the snake.
HISSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Letting out a loud hiss filled with pain, the snake began to toss and turn in agony for a few seconds before it soon stopped all movement.
Fwoosh~
Xuan Hao did not dare to be careless and waited for the vortex of sword qi to disperse by itself as it continued causing chaos inside the body of the snake for a few more seconds after it stopped moving.
"Looks like it's really dead…" Walking over to the body of the snake, Xuan Hao felt that there were no signs of life left in it and quickly put the body into his interspatial ring.
The body was made of all sorts of precious metals and was incredibly valuable! No way he was just going to leave it!
Like this, Xuan Hao noticed the few people observing the battle in the distance and smiled a bit to himself when he noticed that it was the people from the Spring Flower Sect.
They did not dare to come too close, but still moved way closer than the other people from the city who mostly just remained on top of the city wall as they tried their best to make out what was happening in the distance.
"I will have to get back to Bai Ning before he gets too worried about where I am…" Thinking about the talented young boy that he intended to bring back to the Flying Sword Sect, Xuan Hao soon disappeared from the scene and soon reappeared back inside the city.
