"Insolent fiend, cease your wickedness!"
Zuo Zhongliang roared furiously, leveling the Demon-Slaying Saber before suddenly whirling it around. Great Whirlwind carried him into a chain of slashing strikes, streams of pure yang baleful energy condensing into Blade Gang that swept outward in wave after wave.
The newly formed Nether Serpents had yet to acquire much strength and collapsed almost upon contact with these surging strikes. He spun like a top as well, closing on the giant serpent at astonishing speed and grinding into it. Amid wildly dancing fire and lightning, black-red blood splattered everywhere.
The giant serpent let out an enraged hiss. It had manifested from a spirit body, and as its gang baleful energy scattered, the whirlwind of Blade Gang bored a bloody hole straight through it.
Yet a moment later, thick fluid rose with origin energy, and its ravaged body actually knitted itself back together.
Zuo Zhongliang stopped spinning and retreated to one side, his brows drawing together slightly.
"Undying and indestructible..."
This was an innate divine ability of mighty beings. An ancient existence like the Nether Serpent Youyan might have lost its independent awareness, or become extraordinarily fragile.
But it was still not something ordinary people could kill or seal!
Zuo Zhongliang caught his breath briefly, then condensed Blade Gang again into a gigantic blade over forty zhang long and brought it down.
Boom!
The long gang blade cleaved Youyan in two, sending blood spraying once again.
Rock crumbled from the surrounding cavern, its walls shattering and throwing up clouds of dust.
Yet Youyan re-formed once more.
Its body was neither ethereal nor solid, neither gas nor liquid, and possessed qualities akin to grease.
The slash Zuo Zhongliang had unleashed with all his might was no more effective than drawing a blade to sever flowing water.
