Nine Revolutions Star Technique

"Boom!"

The moment the Sword Patterned Snake Demon appeared, its overwhelming aura immediately swept out.

The initially confident crowd couldn't help but be shocked.

Especially Yuan Cong, whose face was utterly terrified.

The Snake Demon stood atop the lake, body half-curved, with ominous dark golden pupils on its triangular head staring sinisterly at the group. In the presence of this serpent, six to seven zhang long, the hunting party seemed extremely insignificant.

"Spread out!"

Ye Qingchen shouted suddenly.

With a whoosh!

The next moment, the Snake Demon shot out like an arrow from a drawn bow, charging directly towards the group's position.

"Crack!"

The Snake Demon, unable to reach the group, bit into an ancient tree behind them. The towering tree, thick enough to require three people to encircle it, was snapped in half, sending wood shards flying.

"That was close!"

Jiang Churan glanced at the broken ancient tree, unable to suppress the tremor in her heart.

If it weren't for Ye Qingchen's timely warning, they might have been wiped out by the Snake Demon in one encounter!

"Damn it!"

Yuan Cong clenched his fists even tighter.

His original intention was to see Ye Qingchen embarrass himself while hunting the Snake Demon, yet unexpectedly, the latter ended up stealing the limelight.

"I don't believe it!"

Gritting his teeth.

Yuan Cong stepped forward, causing dust to fly, dashing fiercely towards the Snake Demon. His right hand clawed out like an eagle's talon, producing a sharp wind, and directly grasped the body of the Snake Demon.

"Tear!"

With a crisp sound, the scales on the Snake Demon's belly shattered, leaving a row of holes, with blood gushing out profusely.

Yuan Cong was overjoyed.

Before he could react, the Snake Demon, in pain, lashed its tail, hitting him directly.

What horror is a Snake Demon at the Spiritual Sea Realm?

The sweep of its tail was like mountains collapsing. Yuan Cong spat out a mouthful of blood, lost his balance, flew backwards, crashed into several ancient trees, and finally slammed heavily into a bluestone, leaving it covered with cracks.

Splash!

The Snake Demon's giant eyes shifted, filled with malice, unwilling to relent as it leapt from the lake. Its grand appearance was akin to a flood dragon rising from the sea, intending to completely obliterate Yuan Cong.

"No!"

Seeing the Snake Demon's movement, Yuan Cong's pupils shrank, a chill flooding his heart.

"Attack!"

It was at this moment.

Ye Qingchen's calm voice suddenly echoed, awakening the panicked Jiang Churan and Hong Man.

Immediately, the three erupted, their figures leading an immense assault, charging directly towards the Sword Patterned Snake Demon!

Ye Qingchen wielded the Refined Steel Longsword, with a dazzling star-like sword light blasting forth. Jiang Churan, also a master of the sword, wielded her blade with chilling precision, her sword's glow spreading frost everywhere it touched.

Hong Man, wielding a massive iron staff, swung it with such ease that it tore the air apart.

Their combined attacks formed a massive barrage of swords and shadows, overwhelming the colossal Snake Demon.

"Roar!"

Besieged by the three, the Snake Demon abandoned its pursuit of Yuan Cong, letting out a Heaven-shocking roar. The thunderous sound was unlike that of a snake, resembling instead a terrifying beast from ancient times.

The roaring Snake Demon surged with relentless demonic aura, thrusting itself directly into the oncoming attacks.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The terrifying clash of forces instantly shredded the surrounding air. The ensuing shockwave tore the ground asunder, turning the tranquil Mirror Lake into a raging sea.

Even the Spiritual Sea Realm Snake Demon could not withstand the trio's combined assault. Countless scales were shattered, with blood pouring like fountains.

And yet, the injured Snake Demon grew even more ferocious, coiling its body, shooting out like an arrow, its terrible tail swinging down like a massive cudgel.

Crack! Crack!

A series of explosions rang out.

The sweeping tail crushed everything in its path; rocks and trees alike were reduced to rubble, leaving desolation in its wake.

"Attack with full force!"

Ye Qingchen's eyes grew colder as he observed the Snake Demon. With a determined shout, he dashed towards it again.

Boom!

Simultaneously, the star power within him erupted.

The sword in his hand rang with a bright, clear sound, with its glaring light slicing towards the Snake Demon's weak spot like lightning.

"Once more!"

Jiang Churan also shouted, sweeping forth a cold glimmer towards the serpent's body.

Hong Man remained silent, charging forth like a rampaging giant elephant with his massive staff.

The three of them indeed were geniuses ranked on the talent list.

This Snake Demon, despite its strength, didn't last long under their relentless assault. With Ye Qingchen's sword piercing its vital point, it eventually let out a final whimper, struggled briefly, and then fell lifeless into Mirror Lake.

"It's finally vanquished!"

Watching the Snake Demon die, Hong Man couldn't help but reveal a simple smile. "This time, it's all thanks to Brother Ye!"

"Indeed! Without Ye Qingchen, we wouldn't have succeeded so easily! Even if we had, it would've cost us dearly!" Jiang Churan nodded repeatedly, her beautiful eyes falling on Ye Qingchen. "So for the points from this Snake Demon, you should at least get half of them!"

Ye Qingchen smiled, about to speak, when he heard a gnashing voice from behind, "Why?"

He turned to find Yuan Cong approaching with a dark expression, glaring intensely at him. "We found this Snake Demon first; he just came to take advantage of our effort! Why should he get half? Without us, he couldn't have slain the Demon Snake so easily!"

"Yuan Cong, shut up!" Jiang Churan frowned and rebuked, "You went off plan earlier, nearly getting us all killed! If it weren't for Ye Qingchen, you'd be dead right now!"

At that moment, shame and anger welled within Yuan Cong.

He had long disliked Ye Qingchen.

Now Jiang Churan repeatedly chastised him for the other's sake. Jealousy and murderous intent surged within him, leaving only one thought in his mind: to vanquish Ye Qingchen here!

"Boy, if you have the guts, duel me…"

Enraged, Yuan Cong was about to speak.

Then, the already bloodstained Mirror Lake began boiling again. A furious roar echoed as a shadow shot out like lightning. Almost simultaneously, it crashed towards Hong Man, the closest to it.

"Boom!"

Hong Man spewed a mouthful of blood on the spot, the violent impact producing a series of cracking sounds throughout his body, as if his bones were shattered, instantly rendering him unconscious.

Seeing the figure surge out of Mirror Lake, Yuan Cong felt his anger extinguished as if doused in ice-cold water.

This was another Sword Patterned Snake Demon!

Its size was double that of the earlier one, reaching up to ten zhang, like a flood dragon, a primordial beast!

"Hong Man!"

Jiang Churan screamed in shock.

However.

The Snake Demon lashed its tail again, sweeping towards Jiang Churan like a tidal wave, knocking her away faster than it did Hong Man.

In an instant, her voice was cut off.

The whole area around Mirror Lake fell into deathly silence.
