Chapter 12: Killing the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper

In the midst of cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of the promise written there.

Xiaoming stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly gripped the secret letter his mother had given him.

---

The Yin-Yang Withering Grass is a rare medicinal herb of the spirit grass level. How could it not be guarded by a spirit beast?

Shen Chen was so excited when he saw the Yin-Yang Withering Grass that he forgot about this. Moreover, most of the wild grass in the valley had withered, which was enough to indicate the presence of an extremely powerful poison. However, this detail was also overlooked by Shen Chen and Wang Yue.

This caused Shen Chen and Wang Yue to have to hastily face the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper, putting them at a significant disadvantage.

"Boom!" Shen Chen's fist slammed down hard on the head of the charging Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper.

However, the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper had the strength comparable to a sixth-rank Blood Fusion Realm martial artist, and the thousands of pounds of force collided with Shen Chen, making him feel as if he had hit a mountain.

"Bang!" Shen Chen was thrown back like a broken kite, flying over ten meters before landing on the ground covered with withered grass.

"Spit!" Shen Chen spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper also let out a painful hiss, clearly in great pain from Shen Chen's punch. Its purple eyes glared fiercely at Shen Chen, and it quickly pounced again, opening its large mouth to try to swallow Shen Chen and avenge its pain!

"Brother Chen!" Wang Yue shouted in alarm and rushed forward, trying to stop the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper.

However, before Wang Yue's fist could truly hit the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper, a thick, black stick-like object suddenly swept over.

"Boom!" Wang Yue was instantly whipped into the air, flying dozens of meters and crashing into a tree in the valley before stopping.

The power of a peak third-rank spirit beast was terrifying!

Shen Chen had just gotten up from the ground when he heard the sound of wind behind him, knowing that the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper was chasing after him. He quickly rolled to the side.

"Boom!" The Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper's head slammed into the spot where Shen Chen had been, creating a large pit several meters wide and one meter deep.

Shen Chen's face showed unprecedented seriousness, but his feet did not hesitate as he quickly circled around the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper.

The Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper's strength was too great. If Shen Chen tried to match it in strength, it would be pure suicide!

Shen Chen knew that for ordinary snakes, if you ran around a tree, they would involuntarily wrap around the tree, allowing you to escape calmly.

Shen Chen now wanted to run around the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper. Even if he couldn't make it wrap around itself, at least it would slow down its movements, and Shen Chen wouldn't be so cornered.

"Maodan, you go first. I'll lure this beast away and find you!" Shen Chen shouted to Wang Yue while running.

Wang Yue clenched his fists, got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and showed no fear, only anger and determination.

Indeed, the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper was very strong, far beyond what Shen Chen and Wang Yue, both at the second-rank Blood Fusion Realm, could handle. However, Wang Yue could not bear to leave Shen Chen behind and escape alone!

"Damn it! I'll fight! If I have to die, I'll die with you! Brother Chen! I won't abandon you!" Wang Yue shouted and pounced at the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper.

Seeing that Wang Yue not only did not run away but also pounced like a madman, Shen Chen was instantly overwhelmed.

If it were just Shen Chen facing the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper, there might have been a chance to escape. But with Wang Yue added, the difficulty of escaping together increased significantly.

However, Shen Chen was deeply moved by Wang Yue's decision to stay and face the danger together.

In his previous life, Shen Chen was a fearless troublemaker who would charge into battle with a knife, regardless of the number of opponents. At that time, he had a group of fearless brothers who would stand by him.

"Fine! I've already died once! What else is there to fear! If I have to die, I'll take this Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper with me!" Shen Chen thought, his mind becoming calm.

Shen Chen's strongest move was the Surging Wave Fist, or the Surging Wave Stacking Force he had created.

However, due to his current second-rank Blood Fusion Realm strength, Shen Chen could only stack the force three times, exerting a maximum of six thousand pounds of force.

However, Shen Chen was not without a chance. As the saying goes, strike the snake at its vital point. If he could find the vital point of the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper, the location of its heart, Shen Chen could kill it with one punch.

However, the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper was not an ordinary snake, and its vital point would be different from other snakes. Where exactly was the vital point of the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper?

"Vital point! Where is the vital point of this Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper!" Shen Chen was anxious.

"Boom!" The Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper charged at Shen Chen like a madman, and Shen Chen narrowly avoided it again, but his body was scratched by flying stones, bleeding profusely.

Smelling the blood, the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper became even more frenzied, constantly writhing and pouncing at Shen Chen.

Soon, Shen Chen was panting heavily, his body covered in wounds from the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper. Wang Yue was also in grave danger, nearly being swallowed by the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper.

"No! If this continues, once my strength is exhausted, I'll definitely become the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper's prey! Vital point! Where is the vital point of the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper?" Shen Chen was anxious.

Suddenly, a vague memory flashed in Shen Chen's mind, a memory that did not belong to him.

"That's right! This must be the old man's memory! With the old man's experience, he must know the vital point of the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper! ... Here? The vital point of the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper is actually in the middle of its abdomen, slightly inward! Great!" Shen Chen excitedly waved his fist.

The Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper was an invincible spirit beast to Shen Chen and Wang Yue, but to the old man sealed in the mysterious mirror, it was just a slightly stronger spirit beast. Shen Chen knew that the old man had broken through the Blood Fusion Realm and entered the Condensing Aura Realm, a realm where there were only a few in the entire Luo Yun City and its surroundings.

Moreover, the old man came from a powerful sect that ranked in the top five on the Tianlong Continent, which was why Shen Chen had to hide his identity and humbly join the small Flowing Cloud Sect.

However, it was precisely because of the old man's immense strength and noble status that he had a vast and complex memory, which Shen Chen greatly benefited from.

However, even knowing that the vital point of the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper was in its abdomen, making it expose its abdomen was not easy.

"Wang Yue, we need to attract this beast's attention and lead it into the dense forest! Once we're in the forest, I have a way to kill it!" Shen Chen shouted and ran towards the forest first.

"Okay!" Wang Yue gritted his teeth, continuously punching the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper while running towards the forest.

For some reason, Wang Yue had great trust in Shen Chen. Whatever Shen Chen said, Wang Yue would believe unconditionally. Even now, facing the fierce Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper, where a single mistake could mean death, Wang Yue still chose to trust Shen Chen!

"Hisss..." The Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper hissed, its purple eyes glaring fiercely at Shen Chen and Wang Yue, and it quickly slithered after them into the forest.

"Maodan! I'll count to three, and you jump to the side of the tree! One, two, three! Jump!" Shen Chen shouted while attracting the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper's attention.

Wang Yue looked nervously at the large, raised head of the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper, swallowing hard.

Shen Chen told him to jump to the tree, and Wang Yue knew it was dangerous. He might be swallowed by the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper before he even reached the tree. In the end, Wang Yue chose to trust Shen Chen, closed his eyes, and jumped towards the large tree in front of him without hesitation.

"Hisss!" The Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper saw Wang Yue jump into the air and quickly slithered over, opening its large mouth to swallow Wang Yue.

Because Wang Yue jumped high, the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper had to raise its lower body to reach him, exposing its abdomen.

"Right now!" Shen Chen's eyes narrowed, and the Surging Wave Stacking Force erupted. His blood qi surged into his arm's acupoints, and under the impact of the massive blood qi, his meridians and blood vessels cracked deeply, almost bursting. However, by over-activating and burning his blood qi, Shen Chen's Surging Wave Stacking Force became three times stronger than before, exerting a force of eight thousand pounds. Then, Shen Chen's fist slammed into the vital point of the Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper, its heart.

"Bang!" The Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper's large mouth was about to close on Wang Yue, but Shen Chen's punch shattered its heart, causing it to let out a painful hiss and open its mouth again, falling to the right in pain.

"Boom!" The dozens-of-meters-long Purple-Eyed Golden-Crowned Viper fell to the ground, its body convulsing uncontrollably, its purple eyes slowly losing color, and it soon lay still, dead.
