Having to control the spirit boat's flight considerably hampered Liu Changxu's combat strength.
These Golden Spirit Snakes were not large. Even the second-tier middle-grade one was less than thirty feet long and only two feet thick, making it rather petite among snake Demon Beasts.
Precisely because of its small size, the Golden Spirit Snake was exceptionally nimble and agile. Combined with its Earth Escape Technique, this made it extremely difficult to deal with.

Moreover, the Golden Spirit Snake's bloodline Demon Art, Golden Wind Blade, possessed astonishing destructive power. Although Liu Changxu blocked its attacks several times with his Vajra Shield, they left scars all over it. At this rate, it would not be long before this Spirit Artifact Shield was damaged beyond use.
