Changing "Leg" to "Dan"—Sadly, Great Master Could Only Be Half a Man from Now On

Yu Xiaogang's grin immediately vanished.

His expression changed as both Soul Rings appeared. He stared warily at the surroundings.

At the same time, Tang San circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill and activated his Purple Demon Eyes.

Ye Xian, on the other hand, remained very calm. He even silently retreated behind the two of them.

At the same time, he quietly took the Darkin World Bow into his hand.

Familiar with the plot, he had already guessed that the Mandala Snake had appeared.

And as an archer, it was fine for him to stand in the backline, right?

"Godfather, over there!"

Tang San suddenly shouted, startling the already tense Yu Xiaogang.

In the bushes not far ahead, he spotted a dark green snakehead quietly rising.

He pointed toward it.

After recovering from his shock, Yu Xiaogang followed the direction and tossed over a firestarter.

Whoosh—!

The bushes were instantly illuminated, and Yu Xiaogang sucked in a sharp breath upon seeing it clearly.

"It seems to be..."

"A Mandala Snake!"

It was actually such a rare Soul Beast!

If it had only just surpassed a hundred years, it would be perfect as Tang San's First Soul Ring.

A flicker of delight flashed through Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

Both Soul Rings on his body lit up.

Then he shouted and commanded Luo Sanpao to attack.

"Heaven-Rending Earth-Shattering Luo Sanpao, fart like a gong!"

Clang—!

Caught off guard, the Mandala Snake was left dazed by Luo Sanpao's sudden broken-gong-like blast.

By the time it reacted, a torrent of shit-yellow gas was already surging toward it.

Before the Mandala Snake could do anything, Luo Sanpao's fart sent it flying.

Its massive body was hurled backward.

"This is bad. The Mandala Snake is actually this huge."

Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded upon seeing the Mandala Snake's full size.

"Run!"

He was instantly horrified. A Mandala Snake of this size was already three or four hundred years old.

He knew exactly what he was capable of.

There was no fucking way he could beat it.

Leaving Luo Sanpao behind to cover their retreat, Yu Xiaogang grabbed Tang San and Ye Xian and turned to run.

But in his panic, he tripped over a rock and plunged face-first into the ground.

He fell flat on his face.

Tang San, whom he had been pulling with his right hand, was also flung away in confusion.

With a bang, Tang San slammed heavily into the ground.

Fortunately, Ye Xian reacted quickly, and Yu Xiaogang had not been holding him very tightly to begin with.

Clearly, this guy cared more about his godson.

The instant Yu Xiaogang fell, Ye Xian immediately broke free.

Then, with a deft roll, he successfully dispersed the force.

Finally, he landed steadily in a crouch.

Ding! A famous scene has been detected: the Mandala Snake bites Luo Sanpao, causing Yu Xiaogang to be poisoned!

Chosen Encounter triggered!

Encounter Entry: The Mandala Snake was incredibly fast and bit Luo Sanpao's left leg.

The host may alter the Entry, thereby affecting the original outcome of the famous scene.

Successful alteration reward: 1,000 points of System Essence!

At the same time, the system's voice rang out again.

Looking at Yu Xiaogang, who had just fallen flat on his face, Ye Xian felt no sadness whatsoever.

Since he was already this miserable, it probably would not matter if he became a little more miserable.

With that thought, he gave the system an order.

"Change 'leg' to 'dan.'"

Roar—!

Almost at the same moment, Luo Sanpao let out a miserable howl.

Left behind by Yu Xiaogang to cover their retreat, it failed to dodge in time and was bitten by the Mandala Snake.

And the place it bit was rather thought-provoking.

Severely injured, Luo Sanpao instantly lost all combat capability.

Then, with a bang, it fell to the ground.

Whoosh—!

The next instant, its body turned into a streak of purple light.

It merged back into Yu Xiaogang's body.

Yu Xiaogang, who had been lying on the ground and wailing in pain, suddenly seemed to suffer a heavy blow. His entire face twisted in agony.

Ding! Encounter alteration successful!

Congratulations, host! You have received: System Essence ×1000!

Listening to the system's feedback in his mind,

Ye Xian could not help but sigh inwardly.

Sadly, before long, Great Master would only count as half a man.

"Godfather, are you okay, Godfather?!"

Tang San stood in the distance and anxiously called out twice.

He had only just climbed back to his feet as well.

The moment Yu Xiaogang had thrown him out, Tang San had been completely stunned.

He had almost thought his godfather was going to feed him to that snake and run away himself.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Ye Xian suddenly felt that he had overestimated Yu Xiaogang.

He had originally thought that Yu Xiaogang, at level twenty-nine, would at least have some fighting ability.

But now that he saw it—

This guy was completely useless.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was curled into a ball.

Just as Tang San wanted to go over and check on Yu Xiaogang,

the Mandala Snake suddenly made a sound.

Hiss, hiss—!

Tang San had no time to look further and immediately turned around.

The vicious Mandala Snake was already twisting toward him in pursuit.

Most absurdly, the snake was unbelievably fast.

In the blink of an eye, it had already covered several meters.

Tang San was dumbstruck.

"This is bad!"

He cursed inwardly.

It's coming for me!

The situation was urgent, and Tang San had no time to think.

With a stomp, his body lightly leaped into the air.

He raised his left hand and violently flicked it.

A streak of black light silently shot out from his sleeve.

It was the concealed weapon, the Sleeve Arrow, that Tang San had secretly crafted.

At that moment, his eyes had turned completely purple.

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

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

Clang—!

The sound of metal striking metal exploded across the clearing.

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

The intense pain made it cry out miserably.

At the same time, Ye Xian, standing in the rear, also drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

A purple-red arrow shot straight toward the Mandala Snake.

With a clang, Ye Xian's arrow struck true.

The Mandala Snake's dark green scales suddenly glowed with a faint yellow light.

The two consecutive attacks completely enraged it.

The Mandala Snake's speed abruptly increased, and it nearly reached Tang San in an instant.

At the critical moment, Tang San drew a short sword that his godfather had secretly slipped to him earlier.

All of the Mysterious Heaven Skill's power was channeled into his hands.

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

Just then, the Mandala Snake arrived in an instant.

Its gaping maw radiated threads of chilling cold, making Tang San shudder involuntarily.

He raised his left hand and forcefully pulled at the snakehead.

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

Squelch—!

The next instant, a streak of blue light seemed to appear from nowhere and shot straight into the Mandala Snake's mouth.

The four-meter-long Serpent Body suddenly stiffened for a moment.

The blue-glowing short sword had completely plunged into the snake's mouth.

Huff—!

Tang San panted heavily. He was drenched in sweat and gasping for breath.

Although his movements had appeared smooth and effortless,

he had actually already reached his physical limit.

Everyone, the novel got recommended on PK. I hope you can keep up with it every day. Thank you so much!
