Chapter 1425 - 1424: Forced Entry

Chapter 1425: Chapter 1424: Forced Entry

Faced with such a ferocious demon snake, everyone who followed behind also changed their expressions dramatically, but after all, they were prominent figures from all over Yingzhou with formidable strength. Although the demon snake was fierce, with so many people, why should they fear a mere beast?

In an instant, wave after wave of attacks surged towards the demon snake, with dense slashes of blades, sword qi, fist strength, palm force, and hidden weapons raining down on the snake, exploding like raindrops.

The Wind Demon clan moved incredibly fast, and as the demon snake was fiercely besieged, they were already in action, seemingly transforming into wind shadows, merging with the surrounding gales, and rushing towards the temple’s entrance!

The gale force winds conveniently drove away the black poison mist before the temple doors, revealing the demon snake’s true form.

However, the demon snake’s entire body was almost unharmed, with only dense white marks and not even its outer skin scratched.

"How is this possible?"

The strong individuals nearby could see clearly that after so many attacks, the demon snake remained unscathed. This beast’s defense was beyond their imagination.

The demon snake’s blood-red eyes gleamed with ferocity, focusing on the strong members of the Wind Demon clan. Instantly, all four heads opened their mouths simultaneously. Instead of poison mist, what sprayed out this time were meticulously refined black poison needles, densely firing like a torrent.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Despite having anticipated it, many strong individuals were hit by the poison needles, letting out cries of pain as they plummeted from the air.

Meanwhile, the experts from the Wind Demon clan had already unleashed the Wind Demon shuriken, spinning rapidly to block the poison needles. Yet, even so, not all could be stopped, and a few poison needles struck several Wind Demon ninjas. Just one poison needle was enough to put a Wind Demon ninja’s life at risk.

At this moment, the Great Elder of the Wind Demon clan took action. The Wind Demon shuriken in his hand swelled to an immense size, several meters long, spinning with incredible speed.

"Wind Demon shuriken, Windmill Technique!"

With a loud shout from the Great Elder of the Wind Demon clan, the turning speed of the Wind Demon shuriken reached its peak, creating a terrifying wind vortex. No poison needle, no matter how fine, could penetrate it.

After blocking all the poison needle attacks, the Great Elder of the Wind Demon clan suddenly hurled the Wind Demon shuriken, watching it fly out, tracing an arc in mid-air, repeatedly striking the demon snake’s body, igniting brilliant sparks.

Once he threw the Wind Demon shuriken, the Great Elder shouted fiercely at Fengmo Thirteen, "Go!"

With the shout, the Great Elder of the Wind Demon clan turned and charged toward the temple, and at this time, Fengmo Thirteen formed hand seals, splitting his body into two shadow clones. Simultaneously, other Wind Demon ninjas protected Fengmo Thirteen as his true body appeared behind the Great Elder, both of them radiating formidable might, breaking through the temple’s doors and rushing in!

But the demon snake’s assault arrived soon after, crushing Fengmo Thirteen’s shadow clones and killing more than a dozen Wind Demon ninjas instantly.

Witnessing this scene, the Great Elder of the Wind Demon clan felt immense pain. These ninjas were the essence of their Wind Demon family, and losing so many was a severe blow. However, they had crossed the obstacle, and as long as they could obtain the Divine Sword Cloud Cluster, such a sacrifice was justified!

Whew! Whew! Whew! Whew!

Seeing the two from the Wind Demon clan break into the shrine’s main hall, other families and shrine members could not sit still any longer. Initially, they wanted to wait and see, but now, they couldn’t wait anymore!

"Now is the time!"

Ling Chen signaled towards Hong Ye and Beichuan Ye, then dashed out. Now was the best moment to enter the temple with others making a move. If they waited, sneaking in later when fewer people were there would be even more difficult.

Stepping on a flying sword, Ling Chen’s speed was like an arrow leaving the bowstring, seizing the gap in the demon snake’s guard, suddenly accelerating towards the temple entrance!

Even though the demon snake was under severe attack, it still noticed Ling Chen trying to sneak through, as his speed was too fast. By the time it spotted Ling Chen, he was not far from the gate.

Roar!

Letting out an angry roar, having let the two from the Wind Demon clan pass earlier already angered it greatly, how could it let Ling Chen get through so easily now!

One of the four heads immediately focused on Ling Chen, opening its foul mouth and sweeping fiercely towards him!

"Not good!"

Seeing a head separating to deal with him, Ling Chen furrowed his brows, realizing he couldn’t ignore the demon snake and had to grit his teeth and make it through!

With a clang, the Thunder Sound Sword was out of its sheath, slashing at the black demon snake’s head. Unsurprisingly, the sword light couldn’t break through the snake’s defense, merely scraping past its head. At this moment, the black demon snake suddenly opened its blood-filled mouth, attempting to swallow Ling Chen.

Just as the black demon snake opened its mouth, a smirk suddenly appeared on Ling Chen’s lips. He had been waiting for this opportunity. As the Thunder Sound Sword scraped the black demon snake’s head, Ling Chen withdrew the Red Sky Sword with his left hand, and with lightning speed, lodged it into the gaping mouth.

The black demon snake’s mouth was jammed by the Red Sky Sword; it struggled to close its jaws, but the Red Sky Sword was a Holy Tier Treasure Sword, not easily broken. No matter how much force the black demon snake exerted, its mouth couldn’t close, its massive body frantically thrashing, its head pounding the ground, leaving holes.

Ling Chen took advantage of this moment to reach the temple entrance, while behind him, the relentless head of the demon snake pursued at staggering speed, attempting to bite him.

Just as it seemed Ling Chen would be caught, he suddenly reversed his hand and struck a palm onto the black demon snake’s head, leveraging this push to land first on the temple’s steps.

By a mere thread, the black demon snake’s jaws would’ve reached Ling Chen, but as he landed, the head abruptly stopped, no longer attacking Ling Chen, and withdrew voluntarily.

Only then did Ling Chen breathe a sigh of relief, realizing his judgment was correct. The demon snake would not attack those who had entered the temple’s perimeter. Stepping across the temple’s threshold meant entering a safe zone, no longer needing to fear the black demon snake’s attacks.

Thanks to Ling Chen diverting part of the demon snake’s attention, Hong Ye, Beichuan Ye, and a Great Elder of the Beichuan family also seized the opportunity to pass the demon snake’s blockade, landing before the temple.

"Return!"

After landing, Ling Chen stretched out his hand, and the Red Sky Sword that had jammed inside the black demon snake’s mouth flew out at his command, returning to Ling Chen’s sword scabbard.

"Let’s go!"

With the Red Sky Sword retrieved, Ling Chen and his companions immediately turned and rushed through the shrine’s main hall entrance.
