Silver Armored Corpse King Arrives, Severely Wounding the General

Flames engulfed the valley.

The Red-banded Snake Demon, with its body dozens of meters long, continuously slammed against the invisible barrier.

With each impact, the ground trembled slightly, but no matter how much the Red-banded Snake Demon exerted its Divine Ability, it was all in vain.

Time ticked by, and the Red-banded Snake Demon's movements grew slower and slower…

Transforming back into its half-human, half-demon form, the Red-banded Snake Demon had lost its initial domineering presence.

Neither side was foolish. The opponent had merely stood there, relying on a single plaque to block the Demon General's divine might.

Clearly, this was no ordinary opponent; they likely hailed from one of the top Taoist Sects.

At this thought, the anger in the Red-banded Snake Demon's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by hesitation and struggle.

It couldn't deal with the opponent in a short time. If it continued the stalemate, the sect elders of the two individuals before it might arrive.

Reason told the Red-banded Snake Demon it was time to give up, but seeing the tragic demise of its two sons, the Red-banded Snake Demon felt unbearable pain, wishing it could devour Zhong Bai and Four-Eyes alive.

Compared to the Red-banded Snake Demon's current dilemma, Zhong Bai, hidden within the invisible barrier, felt much more at ease. He had done almost everything he could.

If it was fate for him, Zhong Bai, to fall here before he could grow, then Zhong Bai could only say he had no regrets, that it was meant to be.

Besides…

Now that Zhong Bai's mind had calmed, he was more astonished by the numbers on the Exorcism Panel before him.

[Killed 2 late-stage Red-banded Snake Demon Soldiers, gained 1600 Exorcism Points]
[Killed 5 early-stage Red-banded Snake Demon Soldiers, gained 1000 Exorcism Points]
[Killed 8 unranked Minor Demons, gained 400 Exorcism Points]
[Current Exorcism Points: 3000]

These were almost entirely the result of those two Heavenly Thunder Jade Talismans—a full three thousand Exorcism Points.

If Zhong Bai could return alive to Jiuquan Town, it was hard to imagine how much his cultivation would improve!

The hesitation lasted only a moment. Seeing no sign of the invisible barrier breaking, the Red-banded Snake Demon finally decided to give up.

Where there's life, there's hope.

It was just two sons who died. Even if three sons died, it wasn't as important as preserving its own life.

With this thought, the Red-banded Snake Demon no longer hesitated. Its body transformed back into a dozens-of-meters-long demon, and it prepared to flee towards the deep mountains outside the valley.

But precisely at that moment, a silver streak of light rapidly attacked from the void!

Before the silver light even touched the Red-banded Snake Demon, it felt the thick Corpse Qi emanating from it.

"A Silver Armored Corpse King!"

Without time to think, almost instinctively, the Red-banded Snake Demon clashed head-on with the rapidly approaching Silver Armored Corpse King.

Its thick, flame-covered, hard-scaled snake tail heavily struck out towards the Silver Armored Corpse King!

The Silver Armored Corpse King also did not evade, its body smashing like a cannonball into the Long-Scaled Snake General's tail.

A sonic boom echoed in the air!

The Long-Scaled Snake General felt its tail had struck a mountain, easily blasted open, while the Silver Armored Corpse King couldn't even control its body, crashing deep into the earth.

In a ten-meter-deep pit, the Silver Armored Corpse King finally revealed its true form. Three meters tall, its silver Corpse Qi made even the Long-Scaled Snake General's scalp tingle.

"Damn it…!"

Even an idiot would understand that this was reinforcement from the sect behind those two Taoists.

A heavy Corpse King roar brought the Long-Scaled Snake General's thoughts back. Regardless, the opponent had arrived; there was no escaping. This Silver Armored Corpse King alone gave it a headache, not to mention…

Realizing that it could only fight with all its might for a slim chance of survival, the Red-banded Snake Demon suddenly spewed forth a sky full of flames, their scorching heat distorting the very air.

The flames enveloped the Silver Armored Corpse King, continuously eroding its Corpse Qi. At the same time, a fanged tooth suddenly broke off from the Long-Scaled Snake General's mouth!

The gleaming fang aimed at the Silver Armored Corpse King, which was being scorched by the flames. Just as it was about to pierce the Silver Armored Corpse King with its fang, a whisk rapidly approached it from the void.

Without even bothering with the Silver Armored Corpse King, as the whisk arrived, the Long-Scaled Snake General immediately shot its fang out, striking the whisk. The whisk recoiled, and its fang also lost some of its gleam.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's still a mid-stage Demon General, a Red-banded Snake…

Originally, you could have safely hidden here, but you insisted on harboring murderous intent towards this humble one's disciple. In that case, you cannot be spared!"

The newcomer was none other than True Immortal Changsheng!

Below, within the invisible barrier, when Four-Eyes saw the Silver Armored Corpse King arrive, he knew his master had come. After all, that Silver Armored Corpse King was his master's natal corpse, a peak Silver Armored Corpse King, half a step into becoming a Golden Armored Corpse King!

In ordinary places, how could one easily encounter such a being?

"Master, your disciple has suffered greatly!

This official road is plagued by late-stage Red-banded Snake Demon Soldiers, devouring passing travelers. Your disciple truly had no other choice but to seek out Junior Brother Qianhe to exterminate demons here.

I never imagined… I never imagined there was also a Demon General-level great demon hiding here. Your disciple almost wouldn't have been able to see Master again!"

Four-Eyes had now recovered some of his True Essence, so his voice was exceptionally loud.

The True Immortal Changsheng, suspended on his whisk in the void, felt his anger rise the more he listened.

He knew it, Four-Eyes was a bit unreliable, but he wouldn't just blindly provoke a Demon General.

So, this Crimson Viper General in front of him was a real sneak!

The Long-Scaled Snake General at this moment wished he could kill Four-Eyes and shut him up, but facing True Immortal Changsheng in front and the Silver Armored Corpse King behind, he knew that today he would be lucky to even survive...

"A mere snake general dares to harm my Taoist Sects disciple? Today, I, this humble Taoist, shall use Maoshan Divine Ability to slay you!"

Hearing the words "Maoshan," the Crimson Viper General felt his world collapse. So, he had provoked Maoshan.

"Fellow Taoist... I am not..."

Before the Crimson Viper General could utter another word, the Silver Armored Corpse King, who had been scorched by flames, suddenly shot up from behind him, heading straight for his vital point!

And True Immortal Changsheng in front was equally formidable. A jade hairpin, just removed from his topknot, now glowed with a faint white light.

"Go!"

As True Immortal Changsheng's words fell, the jade hairpin in his hand grew with the wind, transforming into several meters in moments, creating a sonic boom in the air as it shot straight towards the Long-Scaled Snake General...

With attacks coming from both front and back, each intended to kill, the Long-Scaled Snake General's entire demonic being crumbled.

His fangs, a little duller than before, shot towards the Silver Armored Corpse King behind him, while another fang from his mouth detached and flew, striking the jade hairpin in front!

With a CRACK, the fang shattered, but the jade hairpin was unharmed, only slightly diminishing its momentum. The Silver Armored Corpse King behind him also came flying forward after shattering his fang with a punch.

Suddenly, just as the Long-Scaled Snake General thought he was about to perish, the jade hairpin flying towards him abruptly stopped. Only the Silver Armored Corpse King behind him slammed into his body. In an instant, blood stained the ground a vivid red.

"I almost forgot, Senior Brother Qianyuan is about to arrive. This place isn't just for my disciples.

If I don't let Senior Brother Qianyuan vent his anger, this old Taoist might not be able to bear his wrath..."

True Immortal Changsheng felt a bit fortunate. If he had instantly slain this snake demon just now, what would Senior Brother Qianyuan, who was rushing over, do?

It was a good thing he was quick enough to retrieve the jade hairpin.

Thinking of this, he looked at the Long-Scaled Snake General, heavily wounded by the Silver Armored Corpse King. In his eyes, besides a hint of killing intent, there was also pity.

Senior Brother Qianyuan's methods were far, far more ruthless than his
