Bai Yang and the Half-Dragon Black-Line Snake were both as fast as Intermediate War Gods.
In the blink of an eye, they had already circled around the wastewater treatment plant countless times.
He had long since gotten a clear look at everything around him.
That Black-Line Snake definitely wasn't the one Luo Feng had encountered. It was stronger, but the number of heads it had was completely normal.
He had observed its underlings along the way, too, and there didn't seem to be any unusual two-headed snake among them.
So there was no need to worry about disrupting the plot anymore. He could go all out and make a huge scene.
Thanks to the "combined efforts" of the man and the snake, quite a few of the smaller snakes in the whole group had already died.
Most had been crushed to death when their leader recklessly charged into them.
After all this time, the Half-Dragon had finally calmed down a little and stopped acting recklessly.
Bai Yang estimated that more than three hundred small snakes remained. Among them were quite a few powerful monsters at the Advanced General Level.
His situation hadn't changed much. If he slowed down even slightly, countless snake monsters could swallow him up.
But his movement technique had truly reached a transcendent level, and he almost never made a mistake.
If an ordinary so-called Perfect Level or Conception-level expert were in his place, they would probably have been dead by now.
Lord-level Monsters with War God strength were all highly intelligent.
After all that time, the Half-Dragon finally sensed that something was wrong.
This human could have escaped long ago. Why was he still dragging things out?
Could he have some other goal?
It was infuriating that he'd broken its fangs, but they weren't anything it couldn't grow back.
By now, the Half-Dragon had begun to have doubts. It was wondering whether holding out like this was worth it.
Seeing its expression, Bai Yang couldn't help growing anxious, too.
This beast seemed to be thinking of leaving!
If it got away, it would probably keep hiding and never show itself again. He'd never be able to lure it out.
Would he really let such a rare opportunity slip away?
Just then, a message suddenly came through the Mental Network:
"Master! I found them! Head northwest! It'll take about a minute!"
Bai Yang was overjoyed. The Blood Brake Squad had really come through!
He instantly changed direction and charged toward the wastewater plant's outer wall!
He looked as if he had suddenly decided to break through and flee!
The whole wastewater plant had already been trampled over and over by them. It was so fragile that it was practically falling apart.
How could it withstand a collision like his now?
Bai Yang slammed into the wall like a cannonball. With a boom, he blasted through it and flew far away.
The front section of the outer wall on that side of the wastewater plant collapsed halfway from the impact, exposing what lay inside.
The Half-Dragon had nearly given up, but seeing this, it instinctively chased after him.
This human was done for! He'd been bluffing all along!
One man and one snake raced northwest, one pursuing and one fleeing. Bai Yang kept his speed under control so it wouldn't lose sight of him.
A little over a minute later, they reached an open field in the wilderness.
Bai Yang suddenly stopped.
The Half-Dragon caught up in an instant and ordered its underlings to surround the entire field.
This human was practically cutting off his own escape!
In such an open space, all the snakes had to do was swarm him.
No matter how good his movement technique was, it would be useless. Movement techniques couldn't solve everything.
Bai Yang paid no attention as the snake group continued to arrive.
He began to perform the sword art of Mist Sword, while the Half-Dragon lunged at him several times.
He only dodged slightly, no longer trying to counterattack.
The Half-Dragon was puzzled, but its intelligence wasn't enough to figure out why.
Not far away, An Zhengxin was watching the sky above the field through binoculars.
A slender platinum beam of light was slowly rising there.
It turned out that Bai Yang could now freely control where the Platinum Sword Mark appeared when he used his sword art.
On the surface, he seemed to still be locked in a struggle with the snake group. In reality, he was using his sword art to build a platinum pillar dozens of meters above the field.
The beam was too slender for the beasts on the ground to see clearly.
But to the rulers of the sky—the flying monsters—it was impossible to miss.
The Blood Brake Squad had just gone to great lengths and paid a hefty price to find a group of flying monsters and lure them nearby.
The rest was up to their master.
Boom!
The Half-Dragon suddenly whipped its tail. Its enormous tail struck Bai Yang and sent him flying far away.
This was the third time he'd been hit.
For the sake of his plan, he had to use Mist Sword.
Naturally, he couldn't move as fluidly as before. Getting injured was unavoidable.
And the Half-Dragon wasn't stupid. If he didn't give it enough bait after all this time, why would it keep waiting here obediently?
Fortunately, they wouldn't have to wait much longer.
The platinum beam in the sky was already over a kilometer tall.
The flying monsters he'd counted on should have seen it by now.
As rulers of the skies, when had they ever seen anything like this?
They would most likely come to investigate. And once they arrived—
If they still retained their natural instincts, how could they resist the sight of so many big, juicy snakes?
The Black-Line Snake group had been hiding in the wastewater plant's underground pipes. Besides their natural preference for damp environments—
Could they really have had no desire to avoid the tyrants of Magic City?
Bai Yang's situation was still manageable. With each impact, his injuries worsened.
But thanks to the Series 9 (S-grade) combat suit Mount Hua had given him, he could withstand most of the damage. Only a few minor injuries had been caused by the impacts to his internal organs.
His constitution was highly unusual, so he could keep this up for a long time.
But he was worried that his calculations might be wrong. If he couldn't break free, things would get difficult.
The Blood Brake Squad had paid a heavy price to help him find the flying monsters.
Several of them were seriously injured. He had to finish this as quickly as possible so he could get over there and stabilize their injuries.
He didn't actually have all that much time!
He was secretly anxious, but kept his sword technique steady.
The platinum beam remained stable.
Suddenly, he felt a tremor in his heart.
The airflow around him seemed to have changed noticeably. Could they be here?
Bai Yang was delighted. He suddenly retreated far away, widening the distance between himself and the Half-Dragon, then glanced up at the sky.
With his terrifying eyesight, he could indeed make out dozens of dim gray shadows in the clouds.
The time had finally come!
He sighed. It was a pity that he might only get to do this once.
He'd never have another chance to enjoy something this satisfying.
The Half-Dragon Black-Line Snake saw him suddenly standing still. Though it didn't understand why, it wasn't about to let the opportunity pass.
It lunged at him!
Bai Yang couldn't be bothered to dodge. He raised both hands, palms up, as if holding the snake in midair, then suddenly thrust upward!
"Up!"
The Half-Dragon Black-Line Snake was already charging through the air, leaping off the ground. Then the enormous lifting force of Psychokinesis caught it, sending it flying skyward!
Bai Yang instantly slipped underneath it and poured all his strength into a strike!
He gave it one tremendous boost!
