Chapter 90: Controlling the Sword with the Mind to Display Divine Power

Just as Jian Chen was momentarily stunned, the small head of the golden-threaded silver snake opened its disproportionately large mouth and once again lunged towards Jian Chen’s neck. The sharp teeth were coated with a continuously flowing, grayish-white venom.

Noticing the snake’s large mouth, Jian Chen immediately tilted his head to the side, dodging the snake’s bite aimed at his neck. Then, he quickly took several steps, circling around to the snake’s back. With the Light Wind Sword in hand, he brought forth a strong sword glow and, undeterred, once again aimed for the snake’s vital point.

The Light Wind Sword accurately struck the snake’s vital point, but as soon as the tip of the sword touched the outer layer of the snake’s skin, it could not advance any further. This thin layer of golden skin seemed to be an impregnable fortress, rendering Jian Chen’s full-strength attack completely ineffective, leaving not even a trace on the snake’s body.

Seeing this, Jian Chen’s expression grew increasingly stern, and his mood sank with the realization that his powerful attack was as ineffective as a child’s tickling. The golden-threaded silver snake’s formidable defense left him utterly helpless.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jian Chen immediately retracted the Light Wind Sword, forcefully pushed off the ground with both feet, and leaped high into the air before the snake could react. After determining the direction, he continuously used the tree trunks to gain momentum, flying deeper into the Beast Mountain Range.

The golden-threaded silver snake’s formidable defense made it impossible for Jian Chen to kill it, so he had no choice but to fly deeper into the Beast Mountain Range, hoping to encounter a more powerful beast that could entangle the snake. Only then could he escape smoothly, though this would come with great risk. However, he had no other options.

Although Jian Chen knew that there were many mercenaries in the Beast Mountain Range, and he might be able to use them to hold the snake back, the range was vast, and encountering mercenaries here was no easy task.

In mid-air, Jian Chen used the tree trunks on both sides as leverage, rapidly flying deeper into the Beast Mountain Range. Behind him, the golden-threaded silver snake, with a body only as thick as a wrist, pursued relentlessly. Its tongue flicked continuously, and its body, which stood upright in the air, was about six to seven meters long.

The golden-threaded silver snake’s body was extremely long, completely disproportionate to its size. Jian Chen had yet to see the full length of the snake, but he estimated that this particular golden-threaded silver snake was at least fifty meters long.

Jian Chen’s path always maintained an S-shaped trajectory, and he chose directions with obstacles to hinder the snake’s pursuit.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a tiger’s roar sounded from not far away, quickly approaching Jian Chen. Soon, a black tiger, about three meters long, appeared in his line of sight. The tiger’s eyes were filled with a fierce light, staring at Jian Chen. However, just as the tiger was about to pounce on Jian Chen, a golden snake with a body as thick as a wrist and about six to seven meters long appeared in the tiger’s field of vision.

Upon seeing the golden snake, the black tiger was as if struck by lightning, its fur standing on end. The fierce light in its eyes instantly turned to fear, and it immediately fled the area with its tail between its legs, not daring to stay a moment longer.

Although the golden-threaded silver snake was a snake, even among the beasts, few dared to offend it.

This scenario played out many times in the Beast Mountain Range. Along the way, Jian Chen encountered several beasts, but as soon as they saw the golden-threaded silver snake closely following him, they were immediately frightened and fled without a sound, none daring to provoke the snake.

After half an hour, Jian Chen was nearing the depths of the Beast Mountain Range, where the jungle became increasingly dense, greatly hindering his progress. Behind him, the golden-threaded silver snake continued to pursue relentlessly, seemingly having identified Jian Chen as its target. Despite encountering many beasts along the way, it never let up in its pursuit of Jian Chen.

"Hisss!" The golden-threaded silver snake’s head moved in a blur, once again lunging towards Jian Chen.

Jian Chen, always aware of the situation behind him, immediately pushed off the tree trunk with both feet, his body flying to the side to dodge the snake’s attack.

Seeing Jian Chen repeatedly dodge its attacks, the golden-threaded silver snake seemed to become enraged. Its small eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and a long golden tail emerged from the grass, swiftly lashing out at Jian Chen.

Jian Chen’s expression changed slightly. At that moment, a thick tree was beside him. Without hesitation, he pushed off the tree with both feet, accelerating his body towards a nearby branch. A clear and crisp sword sound resonated from the Light Wind Sword.
