"Young Master Gu, how do we fight it?!"
Hu Bayi gripped the axe with both hands and asked nervously.
Gu Cheng answered without looking at him. "Didn't I tell you that axe you're holding is no ordinary weapon?"
Hu Bayi: "Huh??"
The Flood Dragon Serpent drew closer and closer.
Gu Cheng roared, "I mean, we fight it like this!"
"Fatty, cover me!"
Fatty Wang raised his submachine gun, aimed at the serpent's eyes, and pulled the trigger.
In an instant-
Rat-a-tat-tat!!
Flames spat from the muzzle, the bullets forming an unbroken line of fire.
Clang, clang, clang!
Just as Fatty had said, the bullets struck the serpent's head without penetrating it.
Not only did they fail to penetrate...
They threw off countless fucking sparks, as though he were hammering iron.
A string of metallic clangs rang out.
The Flood Dragon Serpent shrewdly closed its eyes. Even its eyelids were as impenetrable as the skin covering its body.
Fatty Wang nearly lost his mind firing at it.
You bastard.
I'm holding a submachine gun, not putting on a fancy spear show.
Can't you let me save a little face?
Fortunately, Fatty's shooting wasn't entirely futile.
The dense barrage of bullets hammered its head without pause, and the impacts still caused it some pain.
They slowed its advance.
And with its eyelids closed, it couldn't see.
Gu Cheng dashed forward at tremendous speed.
Hu Bayi froze for a moment, then quickly followed him.
He had no idea where Gu Cheng's confidence came from, but at this point, they had no choice but to risk their lives.
Gu Cheng's Fetal Breathing Method had reached the third level. Though it was a technique meant to nourish health-
The improvement to his physical capabilities was anything but small.
At the second level, the effects hadn't been particularly obvious.
After advancing to the third level and cleansing his body and marrow, he felt better than ever before.
His strength, constitution, speed, and everything else had improved considerably.
Put simply, if he'd previously been a weakling compared to Hu Bayi-
His physical capabilities now probably weren't far behind Hu Bayi's.
Hu Bayi had only recently left the army, after all, and both his fitness and combat ability were at their peak.
That was also why Gu Cheng had given Hu Bayi the axe.
It all happened in a flash.
Gu Cheng reached the Flood Dragon Serpent in almost the blink of an eye. Its head happened to be raised about half a meter off the ground. He dropped into a sliding tackle, slid beneath its lower jaw, and drove the Little Divine Edge into it.
Sure enough, to Gu Cheng's delight-
The impenetrable snakeskin was as flimsy as paper before the Little Divine Edge.
The blade pierced it effortlessly.
Gu Cheng followed through with a sideways slash.
Riiip!
A gash over half a meter long instantly opened across the Flood Dragon Serpent's lower jaw, deep enough to expose bone.
Scalding blood poured down like a waterfall, instantly drenching Gu Cheng from head to toe.
The Flood Dragon Serpent suffered a grievous wound.
Its head instinctively jerked away.
Hu Bayi caught up just then and saw that Gu Cheng's attack had worked.
Joy surged through him.
His confidence soared.
Seeing the Flood Dragon Serpent pull its head away-
He leaped up, raised the Mountain-Splitting Axe overhead with both hands, and brought it down with thunderous force.
As though he were splitting firewood!
Crack.
Hu Bayi actually heard the sound of chopping wood.
Under his full-force swing, the Mountain-Splitting Axe-
Split the Flood Dragon Serpent's upper jaw clean open.
After cleaving through its upper jaw, the Mountain-Splitting Axe continued downward and struck its lower jaw.
The blow sent flesh and bone flying from its lower jaw.
It was a horrifying sight.
Hu Bayi was stunned too. He hadn't imagined he could be this formidable!
He had actually inflicted such terrible damage on this monstrous beast.
In fact, Hu Bayi's attack had done far more damage than Gu Cheng's.
The Flood Dragon Serpent was in agony.
Its astonishingly thick body immediately began thrashing wildly.
Scalding serpent blood splattered everywhere.
It slammed into the walls on both sides of the passage hard enough to crack them.
"Watch out!"
Gu Cheng suddenly shouted.
Hu Bayi had only just snapped out of his daze when he saw the Flood Dragon Serpent's head hurtling toward him.
Caught completely off guard-
He was sent flying.
After hitting the ground, Hu Bayi curled up in pain.
He felt as though he'd been hit by a truck, his internal organs nearly knocked out of place.
Seeing this-
Fatty Wang aimed at the wound on the serpent's head.
He unleashed a furious barrage.
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Brrr-brrr-brrr!
Though the bullets still couldn't penetrate its skin, many entered through the wound and buried themselves in its flesh.
The Flood Dragon Serpent was wounded again.
It was furious!
It went berserk!
In all its life, it had never suffered such humiliation.
It was the overlord of these mountain forests!
Yet now, a few little insects had managed to wound it.
This was intolerable!
Utterly intolerable!
It singled out Gu Cheng first.
This was the insect.
He'd stolen its treasure and wounded it.
Kill him first!!
The Flood Dragon Serpent suddenly accelerated, lunging at Gu Cheng with unstoppable force.
Gu Cheng had been on his guard all along.
When he saw it lunge-
He immediately pushed off the ground and rolled sideways.
He narrowly evaded the Flood Dragon Serpent's snapping jaws.
And that wasn't all.
He kept rolling until he reached the side of its body.
As he rose, he drove the Little Divine Edge into its body again, making the Flood Dragon Serpent shudder.
Gu Cheng had no intention of showing it mercy.
With his left hand, he grabbed two grenades from his waist and bit out the pins. At the same time, he pulled with his right hand.
He sliced a wound more than thirty centimeters long into the Flood Dragon Serpent's body.
In the same motion, he stuffed the smoking grenades into the wound with his left hand.
Then he rolled away to one side.
The sequence might have sounded complicated, but it had taken only two or three seconds.
The Flood Dragon Serpent hadn't even had time to react.
