Shoot to Kill, Blue Silver Spear

"Luo Luo Luo Luo—" Luo San Pao cried out urgently.

"Not good!" Yu Xiaogang immediately became alert upon hearing the cry.

Luo San Pao's urgent call was telling him that something dangerous was approaching.

Soul Masters' voices carried over from the distance. Their shouts drew nearer and nearer, as did the sound of their footsteps.

Yu Xiaogang's expression turned grim. Those Soul Masters had led a terrifying soul beast here.

"Run, run, run! It's catching up!"

"Big Brother, wait for me! I can barely run anymore!"

"Don't come over here, dead snake! Stinking snake! Get away from me! Ahhh! The snake bit me! Save me, hurry and save me! It's got me!"

Two disheveled Soul Masters burst out of the bushes, followed by another Soul Master's scream.

The two Soul Masters fleeing in panic looked exceptionally ferocious. Gray fur covered their bodies, their heads had transformed into wolf heads, and their sharp fangs and green eyes gleamed coldly.

Yet they looked as though they had seen something horrifying, running this way in blind panic while shouting, "There's a snake behind us! Save us!"

"These must be the kind of team Teacher talked about—the kind that falls apart the moment it encounters danger." Seeing the unfamiliar Soul Masters, Tang San tightened his grip on the Fire Stick. He was not sure whether they would attack them.

"Probably." Li Yue also held a condensed Blue Silver Spear in his hand. His spear skills were quite good, and the Blue Silver Spear created by his first soul skill made them even sharper.

Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang and the other two, the Soul Masters ran over in delight, intending to drag them into this mess as well.

How could one survive being pursued by a terrifying soul beast? As long as one ran faster than everyone else. They were two young beast-type Soul Masters—could they really not outrun a middle-aged Soul Master with two children in tow?

The two Soul Masters cautiously avoided approaching the trio, instead circling around them from either side. They did not stop after passing them and continued running forward.

Once the two Soul Masters had fled past, the air fell silent. The Soul Master left behind did not cry out again after that scream.

A rustling sound came from ahead.

Tang San activated his Purple Extreme Demonic Eyes and saw a dark green venomous snake slithering toward them through the bushes. Its eyes were blood-red, translucent like rubies.

The Tang Sect of his previous life had been located in Ba-Shu, so he was no stranger to venomous snakes.

Yet he could not identify the species before him. It was likely a soul beast unique to Douluo Continent, but its triangular head made it clear that it was venomous—and highly so.

"Not good, it's a Mandala Snake."

Yu Xiaogang was startled. Such a vicious creature had appeared. He immediately placed his two yellow soul rings around Luo San Pao.

"Mandala Snakes are difficult to harm with blades and swords, and their bodies are extremely tough. Their only weaknesses are their eyes and mouths. They possess potent paralytic venom, which also damages the body's nerves."

Li Yue raised an eyebrow. Was this the Mandala Snake from the original story? If its cultivation was sufficient, it would be quite suitable for Tang San to absorb. "Teacher, how old is this Mandala Snake?"

"This Mandala Snake is nearly four meters long and has four hundred years of cultivation!" The moment Yu Xiaogang said this, he wanted to turn and run. It was actually a four-hundred-year Mandala Snake!

This was nothing like that five-hundred-year Lone Bamboo with no offensive power. Soul beasts varied greatly in strength, and Mandala Snakes were exceptionally aggressive. The few of them were merely delivering themselves as food.

"Teacher, let me handle it." Li Yue did not want Yu Xiaogang to have Luo San Pao use that farting soul skill. It would be far too foul. "This four-hundred-year Mandala Snake's soul ring is perfect for Little San!"

"Little Yue, be careful!" After saying that, Yu Xiaogang saw the Mandala Snake advance and backed away several steps in fright.

His Luo San Pao was a useless martial soul. Even with two soul rings attached, it could only attack three times, and its attacks were not powerful. It could only deal with ten-year soul beasts.

Still, he had great confidence in Li Yue's first soul skill, Blue Silver Spear, and believed it could defeat this Mandala Snake.

But Li Yue did not use his soul skill. Instead, he stepped forward with the Blue Silver Spear in hand, seemingly intending to fight the Mandala Snake at close range.

Yu Xiaogang's heart immediately leaped into his throat. Was this child really so bold? Not only did he not retreat, he actually walked toward the Mandala Snake.

"Brother Yue, I'll help you." Tang San gripped the Fire Stick tightly and stepped to Li Yue's side, ready to fight alongside him.

This snake did not look simple. Its scales alone, impervious to blades and spears, would be troublesome enough. Its weaknesses were only its eyes and mouth, not to mention its venom.

"What? Little San, you're going too?" Yu Xiaogang was even more astonished. He had thought Li Yue was brave enough, daring to fight a Mandala Snake with just one soul ring.

He had not expected someone even bolder. Tang San, who had not even added a soul ring, had stepped forward as well.

"Fine, together." Li Yue answered and continued forward, step by step, using the Lingbo Step to gather inner force.

Seeing two human children strangely walk toward it, the Mandala Snake warily arched its body and continued slithering.

Once it was close enough, yellow light flashed around it. Its speed abruptly increased, and it shot toward them in a sudden burst.

With his back to Yu Xiaogang, Tang San's eyes turned purple. With the Purple Extreme Demonic Eyes, he could clearly see the Mandala Snake lunging at Senior Brother Li Yue.

In an instant, he gathered his strength and swung the Fire Stick at the Snake Body in midair. The Fire Stick sliced through the air with a sharp whoosh.

Li Yue's eyes lit up. Seeing the Mandala Snake open its jaws to bite him, he flicked the spear tip, braced the Blue Silver Spear with his elbow, and thrust it straight into the Mandala Snake's mouth.

In that flash of lightning.

The Mandala Snake lunged at Li Yue, the stench of its open mouth almost palpable, while Li Yue's Blue Silver Spear stabbed directly into its maw.

It was as though the Mandala Snake had deliberately opened its mouth to swallow the spear. Li Yue then exerted force and drove half the Blue Silver Spear into the Mandala Snake's body.

Tang San's attack arrived after the Blue Silver Spear pierced through the Mandala Snake. The Fire Stick struck its scales with a crisp clang.

After plunging into the Mandala Snake's body, the Blue Silver Spear continued through it, piercing out through its lower abdomen and pinning it to the ground.

Snakes possessed extraordinarily tenacious vitality. Even now, the Mandala Snake was still thrashing about wildly, flinging its Snake Body in an attempt to break free.

The yellow hundred-year soul ring lit up.

Another Blue Silver Spear condensed into existence and was grasped in Li Yue's left hand. With a flick of its tip, he blocked the Mandala Snake's whipping tail.

Thinking of something, Li Yue smiled at the Mandala Snake. "The Blue Silver Spear is a living spear. Try this—shoot to kill, Blue Silver Spear!"

He used the Blue Silver Spear in his right hand to hold the Mandala Snake in place, then inserted the Blue Silver Spear in his left hand through its mouth. The soul ring's light flared once more, and the Blue Silver Spear shot forward at tremendous speed.

It grew again, piercing all the way from the Mandala Snake's throat to the tip of its tail, skewering it like a kebab.

Now it could not whip its tail anymore.
