Given the host's current environment, system rewards will be distributed later. The host may choose when to claim them.

Bang—!

Yu Xiaogang, who had been sprinting wildly, suddenly felt dizzy. His vision went black, and he crashed headfirst to the ground.

Tang San, whom he had been pulling with his right hand, was flung away as well.

And he was thrown right toward the Mandala Snake.

Huo Feng, who had been prepared, fared much better.

The instant Yu Xiaogang fell, he executed a deft roll that dispersed the force and landed in a steady crouch.

Bang—!

Almost at the same moment, Luo Sanpao let out a miserable cry and was slammed heavily onto the ground.

Whoosh—!

In the next instant, its body turned into a streak of purple light and merged back into Yu Xiaogang's body.

Already weak, Yu Xiaogang suffered another heavy blow and passed out completely.

"Master, what's wrong, Master!"

"Are you all right?"

Huo Feng crouched beside Yu Xiaogang and deliberately shouted loudly.

Naturally, he wanted his reaction to seem more genuine.

Yu Xiaogang had fainted, but Tang San was still conscious.

Tang San staggered to his feet.

The moment his teacher had thrown him out, he had been completely dumbfounded.

If he had not promptly activated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he would have been smashed to pieces.

Hearing Huo Feng's shouts, Tang San immediately turned to look back.

His teacher, who had been perfectly fine moments ago, was now lying stiffly on the ground.

He seemed to have fallen unconscious.

Huo Feng beside him wore an anxious, helpless expression.

Hiss—!

Just then, the Mandala Snake suddenly made a sound. Tang San had no time to look further and immediately turned back around.

The vicious Mandala Snake had opened its bloody maw and was twisting its body as it charged after him at astonishing speed.

"Damn it!"

Tang San cursed inwardly.

The Mandala Snake had clearly made him its primary target.

With the situation so urgent, Tang San had no time to think.

He pushed off the ground, and his body lightly leaped upward.

His left hand rose slightly, and a black glint shot out soundlessly.

It was the Sleeve Arrow he had secretly crafted.

His eyes had also turned completely purple.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill ran at full speed, and the Purple Demon Eyes were activated to their limit.

Only then could he clearly see the Mandala Snake's movements.

Clang—!

The sound of metal striking iron exploded across the area.

The Sleeve Arrow struck the Mandala Snake's hard scales, sending a string of sparks flying.

The intense pain made it shriek.

A faint yellow glow suddenly lit up across its dark green scales.

Tang San's arrow had thoroughly enraged it.

The Mandala Snake's speed abruptly increased, and it closed in on Tang San almost instantly.

At the critical moment, Tang San took out a short sword Yu Xiaogang had secretly slipped to him earlier.

All the power of the Mysterious Heaven Skill was concentrated in both hands.

Blue light flickered rapidly in his palms, all of it gathering on the short sword.

At that very moment, the Mandala Snake arrived in an instant.

Its bloody maw exuded threads of icy chill, making Tang San shudder involuntarily.

He raised his left hand and violently pulled at the snake's head.

An inexplicable suction force caused the Mandala Snake's head to turn uncontrollably.

Squelch—!

In the next instant, a blue glow seemed to appear out of thin air and shot straight into the Mandala Snake's mouth.

The four-meter-long Serpent Body suddenly stiffened for an instant. The short sword glowing blue had already plunged entirely into its mouth.

Huff—!

Tang San, already drenched in sweat, let out a long breath.

On the surface, his movements had flowed seamlessly, but in truth, he had already reached his physical limit.

For some reason, he always felt that his body was far worse than before.

Naturally, Tang San had no idea that he had already been sacrificed twice as an offering.

Especially since the second sacrifice had taken place only two days ago. It would have been strange if his body were in good condition.

Whoosh—!

Suddenly, the Mandala Snake's body, which had just been rigid and motionless, began to convulse violently.

For a moment, sand and stones flew across the ground.

The surrounding flowers, grass, and trees were instantly destroyed.

"Not good!"

Tang San's heart jolted, and intense shock appeared in his eyes.

The Mandala Snake stared at Tang San with scarlet eyes full of hatred.

It exhausted the last trace of strength in its body and swung its tail heavily at him.

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!

Tang San stepped forward, only to discover that the Mysterious Heaven Skill's power had already been completely depleted.

His legs trembled violently, and he could not take even a single step.

Bang—!

The heavy snake tail arrived in an instant and struck Tang San hard.

Tang San's small body was sent flying.

He did not stop until he crashed into a tree several zhang away.

Pfft—!

After suffering such a heavy blow, Tang San spat out a mouthful of blood.

His vision went black, and he fainted immediately.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

"Did Tang San get beaten to death by that tail?"

Huo Feng flashed to Tang San's side from not far away.

"Good, he's breathing. He won't die."

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If Tang San died, who would he sacrifice in the future?

Judging by Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's current states, neither would likely wake up anytime soon.

Only then did Huo Feng turn his gaze to the Mandala Snake, which was not yet completely dead.

It was still twisting about madly. Within a radius of five zhang, all the flowers, grass, and trees had been smashed to pieces.

But its stamina was limited after all.

Soon, the Mandala Snake's hysterical struggle gradually calmed, and it finally collapsed onto the ground without moving.

Pale yellow motes drifted out from its body, then gathered above it and formed a bright yellow ring.

"Yellow Soul Ring!"

It was Huo Feng's first time seeing a Yellow Soul Ring, and he found it quite novel.

Sure enough, a four-hundred-year Soul Ring looked far better than the White Soul Ring from the Netherworld Wolf.

"What a pity."

Huo Feng murmured.

The Azure System had already rewarded him with a five-hundred-year Soul Ring. Otherwise, this Mandala Snake's Soul Ring would have been quite suitable.

Ding!

Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang out.

Friendly reminder: Soul Rings produced by Soul Beasts are independent of the Soul Beasts themselves and may be sacrificed separately.

"Sacrificed separately?"

Huo Feng revealed a smile.

In other words, the Mandala Snake and its Soul Ring could be sacrificed separately, twice!

That made it suitable after all. A four-hundred-year Yellow Soul Ring would not be wasted for nothing.

But what was the value of sacrificing a Yellow Soul Ring? At that thought, Huo Feng immediately gave the system an order. "System, sacrifice the Mandala Snake's Soul Ring!"

Ding!

Mandala Snake Soul Ring sacrificed successfully!

Sacrifice Points increased by one hundred!

One hundred Sacrifice Points! "Not bad."

Huo Feng nodded.

That value was more than sufficient.

Sacrificing Yu Xiaogang, who was level twenty-nine, had only given fifty Sacrifice Points.

Looking at the Mandala Snake lying dead on the ground, Huo Feng spoke again. "System, sacrifice the Mandala Snake!"

Ding!

Mandala Snake sacrificed successfully!

Sacrifice Points increased by one hundred!
