Chapter 37

For some reason, that aura would pause slightly after advancing a certain distance. During this period, Dongfang Bubai made the Sun Moon Sect disciples retreat a bit further, and the distance to those onlookers was not far either.

Those onlookers had long noticed something was amiss. The aura was becoming increasingly powerful and clear, making them feel an unconscious fear.

Everyone outside the stronghold looked at the Five Poisons Sect disciples, only to find that they were all facing inward, seemingly stunned, trembling all over, and pale-faced.

He Qi, Lan Ping, and others were not much better. They were full of fear, hurriedly taking out some things from the gate tower and quickly throwing them down to the gate, gradually throwing them toward Dongfang Bubai.

The Sun Moon Sect disciples and the onlookers saw that these were the corpses of small animals, still bleeding, apparently freshly killed. Everyone was puzzled, not understanding what He Qi and the others meant.

Dongfang Bubai's expression became increasingly solemn, and so did Ren Woxing and others behind him, staring intently at the stronghold gate. They could sense that the aura was about to emerge.

"Boom!!"

"Roar!!"

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, the stronghold gate, which had remained intact despite being smashed by Fan Song and others for a long time, suddenly shattered, and a huge golden snake head appeared from within.

"What is this??"

"A monster!"

"How can the Five Poisons Sect have such a large snake?"

...

Countless people immediately cried out in panic.

"Roar!"

Another heart-shaking roar. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that such a high-pitched roar could come from a snake.

The snake's head opened wide, and it could swallow a person standing in front of it whole.

This roar also silenced everyone, and the scene became quiet. Even the chirping of insects and birds had stopped, trembling and not daring to make a sound.

Everyone was somewhat disbelieving of what they saw. They had never seen such a huge snake head before, as if it were a dream. Even Dongfang Bubai's eyes showed a hint of shock.

The golden snake head quickly crawled out of the gate. It moved fast, but it still took a few seconds to fully emerge. Only then did everyone see its appearance.

It was about forty meters long, with a diameter of about one and a half meters, covered in scales that looked like they were made of gold, shimmering in the sunlight, looking extremely impressive.

However, no one was paying attention to the snake's appearance at this moment because a suffocating aura, like that of a prehistoric beast, was constantly emanating from the giant snake.

The cold, cruel, and evil aura, combined with the extremely cold, heart-chilling snake eyes, made many people tremble, their gazes filled with fear.

"Truly a beast!" Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes shining with an indescribable light.

Everyone present was startled awake. They didn't have the heart to marvel at Dongfang Bubai's praise for the prehistoric beast and retreated in panic.

"Brother!" Dongfang Bai called out, and the other Sun Moon Sect members were also in a panic because the giant snake was eating the small animals thrown out by He Qi and the others and crawling toward them.

On the gate tower, He Qi, Lan Ping, and others looked at the golden giant snake, which seemed to come from a myth, regretting having lured it out.

Although they had known the snake was powerful, it wasn't until they saw it in person that they truly understood just how powerful it was. Looking at the giant snake, He Qi, Lan Ping, and others felt a sense of fear that made them dare not resist.

The only thing that comforted them was that everything was still going according to plan.

The golden giant snake quickly crawled toward Dongfang Bubai, eating the small animals along the way, as if they were a great temptation to it.

Behind it was a long snake trail. The Sun Moon Sect members wanted to retreat, but Dongfang Bubai, standing at the front, showed no sign of retreating. How could they dare to retreat?

"Brother!"

"Lord Sect Leader!"

...

Dongfang Bai, Ren Woxing, Zhang Chengyun, and others called out in panic, their eyes full of hope that Dongfang Bubai would order a retreat.

Dongfang Bubai kept his eyes on the golden giant snake, understanding the fear of the Sun Moon Sect members. After all, such a powerful behemoth crawling toward them was naturally frightening.

So Dongfang Bubai didn't blame them. He gently waved his hand, signaling everyone to retreat. All the Sun Moon Sect disciples were overjoyed and quickly retreated. Dongfang Bai, Ren Woxing, and others did the same, but only Dongfang Bubai remained standing there, unmoving, his eyes complex and calm, staring at the golden giant snake.

"Brother!"

"Lord Sect Leader!"

...

Dongfang Bai and the others retreated a few steps and realized that Dongfang Bubai had not moved. They couldn't help but call out anxiously. Dongfang Bai gritted her teeth and took a few more steps to stand behind Dongfang Bubai.

Zhang Chengyun's face also changed, and he quickly ran to Dongfang Bubai's side, staring intently at the giant snake and shouting, "Protect the Lord Sect Leader!"

Zhao He, Fan Song, Qu Yang, and others also took a few steps forward, drawing their weapons and facing the giant snake. Seeing this, Ren Woxing couldn't help but curse himself. It's just a beast, what's there to be afraid of?

He was a master-level expert. This was a great opportunity to show his prowess! He quickly ran forward to protect Dongfang Bubai.

The other Sun Moon Sect members also stopped retreating, watching the high-ranking officials and Lord Sect Leader Dongfang Bubai, their courage rising, and they took a few steps forward.

Dongfang Bubai understood everyone's thoughts and was generally satisfied. It seemed that his position as Lord Sect Leader was still highly respected.

Putting aside these thoughts, Dongfang Bubai continued to observe the giant snake. He naturally had his own plans for it.

Although the snake was very powerful, almost absurdly so, Dongfang Bubai's sword could sense that it still had its limits. In other words, the snake's strength was not at the grandmaster level, so there was no reason for him to retreat.

Feeling the Sun Moon Sect members moving forward to protect him, Dongfang Bubai smiled slightly, "Everyone below the late-stage innate level, retreat."

Everyone looked at each other. Those below the late-stage innate level dared not disobey and slowly retreated, feeling a mix of relief and surprise at not having to face the behemoth.

Only Dongfang Bai was somewhat hesitant, but she knew she couldn't help at all and reluctantly retreated.

"Lord Sect Leader, what should we do now?" Ren Woxing asked, his eyes fixed on the giant snake.

"No need to rush, let's see what this beast is capable of." Dongfang Bubai remained calm, watching the giant snake with interest.

Ren Woxing, Zhang Chengyun, Fan Song, and others couldn't help but swallow hard. Just from the beast's aura, they could sense its power. They knew they were no match for it.

Only Dongfang Bubai remained unmoved, seemingly not taking the beast seriously, which couldn't help but make them admire him.

Soon, the giant snake finished eating the small animals and was only about sixty meters away from Dongfang Bubai and the others. At such a close distance, even Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. He wondered how such a behemoth could grow so large! Was it really created by the Five Poisons Sect?

After finishing the small animals, the giant snake finally raised its head slightly to look at Dongfang Bubai and the others. This look startled Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing again because they saw a very human-like expression of dissatisfaction in the snake's eyes, as if it was unhappy about not being full.

Then, the extremely cold snake eyes showed a fierce light, and the snake continued to crawl toward Dongfang Bubai and the others. Seeing this, everyone held their breath. The giant snake was going to eat them!

"Lord Sect Leader!"

Ren Woxing and others called out, asking Dongfang Bubai what to do.

Dongfang Bubai's left hand had already moved from the sword hilt to the scabbard, his expression becoming slightly more serious. "Go and test the weight of this beast."

"Yes!" Ren Woxing and others nodded. Although they knew they were no match for the beast, their initial fear had passed, and their martial spirit emerged. Even if they were no match, they would still fight, and there were so many helpers here.

They, a total of eight people, used their lightness skills to meet the giant snake. Ren Woxing, the most skilled in martial arts, faced the huge snake head head-on, while Fan Song, Zhang Chengyun, and others rushed to the sides of the snake, attacking its scales.

Seeing Ren Woxing and the others' actions, the giant snake's eyes showed a mocking expression, which everyone could clearly see.

"Roar!"

Another roar, the giant snake's mouth opened wide and quickly bit toward Ren Woxing. Ren Woxing felt a gust of wind, and the huge mouth was already in front of him. His hair stood on end, and his body instinctively flew backward. The powerful internal force he had gathered was released, striking the snake's head fiercely.

"Bang!"

The powerful black internal force struck the snake's head, causing it to pause, and the action of biting Ren Woxing stopped.

At the same time, Fan Song and others' attacks also landed on the giant snake.

"Clang!"

"Bang!"

Various colors of internal force light covered the entire body of the giant snake. Seeing these attacks hit the snake, many people couldn't help but look forward to it being injured.

"Roar!"

Another roar, the light caused by the various internal forces dissipated, and the giant snake's body remained still. The mocking expression in its eyes became even stronger.

Only then did everyone realize that the places attacked by them were completely undamaged. Only the snake's head, attacked by the master-level expert Ren Woxing, showed some wear on a few scales.
