"You demon, I'll fight you to the death!"
The little green snake-or rather, Qing Lin-wore an utterly twisted expression. Extreme hatred filled her eyes as she gritted her teeth, jade-green light spilling from her eyes and enveloping the hall.
Boom!
In an instant, the palace doors behind Hun Changqing exploded. A host of Nine Netherworld Python experts surged into the palace, led by their clan chief and grand elder, both One-Star Dou Shengs, and surrounded Hun Changqing and Medusa.
Qing Lin had awakened back when the little green snake first entered the Beast Region with Hun Changqing.
But that was also when she witnessed Hun Changqing's strength and realized she was no match for him. Harboring towering hatred, she concealed her presence and hid deep within the little green snake's soul. Since they shared one body and the same origin, even the little green snake noticed nothing amiss.
After parting with Hun Changqing and sneaking into the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, the little green snake had indeed obtained the inheritance of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, receiving the gifts left by an ancient wielder. Qing Lin, hidden deep within her soul, was herself the original owner of those pupils, so she naturally learned those techniques as well. The Dou Sheng-level energy she had driven into Hun Changqing's body earlier had come from that inheritance.
She had hidden for so long without letting the little green snake discover her precisely so she could tear Hun Changqing into ten thousand pieces when he was completely unguarded and avenge her old hatred. What she had not expected was that he could withstand that eruption of energy.
Qing Lin inwardly cursed the fact that, before Hun Changqing arrived, the little green snake had sent every Nine Netherworld Python expert out of the palace.
