Water murmured through a canyon somewhere in Beast Mountain.
The peaceful atmosphere of the secluded mountain valley was interrupted by a series of hisses.
A great snake fifty or sixty feet long lay coiled opposite Lin Shuguang, flicking its scarlet tongue and watching him menacingly.
Most of the ferocious beasts Lin Shuguang had encountered as he fought his way here had only been in the Profound Connection Realm or Core Realm.
The rewards he received from heaven had mostly been strength, though occasionally he received pills condensed from Heaven and Earth Power.
This great snake before him, however, was in the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Boom!
A swath of trees snapped halfway up their trunks under the great snake's sweep and went flying.
Countless branches and wood chips rained down through a cloud of dust and sand.
The wind howled with them.
In an instant, the great snake opened its bloody maw to swallow Lin Shuguang whole. A nauseating stench blasted him in the face.
The next moment, saber light flashed.
An icy gleam blazed in the twilight. A visible white line scraped through the air, sending the surrounding temperature soaring.
The blade swept past the great snake's front in an instant.
A sound like metal being cut rang out at the same time, and a long trail of sparks erupted from the great snake's belly.
The great snake let out a piercing shriek.
In pain, its enormous body thrashed and lashed, sending broken stones flying and stirring up clouds of sand.
Anyone who failed to dodge in time would likely be torn to pieces.
Beneath the dust and sand.
Lin Shuguang seized his chance. Power circulated within him as he viciously chopped off the great snake's head with one stroke.
Although its head had been severed, its mouth remained open.
