The Snipe and Clam Fight, the Fisherman Profits! (Please Recommend, Please Bookmark!)

At dusk, beneath the dim yellow glow of the setting sun.

In a dense part of the Soul Hunting Forest, an Emerald Aurora Bird with roughly nine hundred years of cultivation circled through the sky. From time to time, it swooped down to attack a Spikehorn Dragon Viper with over a thousand years of cultivation that was coiled within the forest.

Compared to the Emerald Aurora Bird, the Spikehorn Dragon Viper surpassed it in both size and cultivation age.

However, due to the innate species suppression between them, the Spikehorn Dragon Viper's most formidable venom was completely useless against the Emerald Aurora Bird.

The Emerald Aurora Bird attacked with incredible speed. Whenever it swooped down from the sky and approached the Spikehorn Dragon Viper, it would peck like lightning or rake the viper with its sharp talons.

It only attacked once each time. Whether it struck or missed, the Emerald Aurora Bird would swiftly fly away, never giving the Spikehorn Dragon Viper a chance to retaliate.

Faced with the Emerald Aurora Bird's attacks, the Spikehorn Dragon Viper could do nothing but rage helplessly, lashing its tail and hissing toward the sky.

As the Emerald Aurora Bird probed it again and again, the Spikehorn Dragon Viper continuously attempted to counterattack.

But no matter how hard it tried, it simply could not bite the nimble Emerald Aurora Bird.

Occasionally, it managed to wound the Emerald Aurora Bird with its venomous horn, but the bird was entirely unaffected by the poison and remained as lively as ever.

Over time, the Spikehorn Dragon Viper grew wiser. It stopped trying to bite the Emerald Aurora Bird and instead attempted to gore it with the horn on its head.

It wanted to wound the Emerald Aurora Bird, but that still proved useless.

After noticing that the Spikehorn Dragon Viper had changed its intentions, the Emerald Aurora Bird stopped attacking its head. Instead, it launched attacks across the viper's entire body, leaving it hard-pressed to respond.

Finally, after the Emerald Aurora Bird's repeated probing attacks, the Spikehorn Dragon Viper had expended a great deal of stamina, and its reactions began to slow.

Upon sensing the Spikehorn Dragon Viper's weakness, the Emerald Aurora Bird finally launched its final attack! It suddenly beat its wings and dove from the sky like a bolt of lightning, raising its sharp talons and viciously clawing toward the viper's vital seven-inch point.

As the saying went, strike a snake at seven inches. The seven-inch point was the weakness of nearly all snakes, and even the Spikehorn Dragon Viper, a soul beast, was no exception!

Because it had been attacking the Spikehorn Dragon Viper's head all along, the Emerald Aurora Bird's sudden strike at its seven-inch point caught the viper completely off guard.

Even when it finally reacted afterward, the Spikehorn Dragon Viper had already been drained of too much strength by the Emerald Aurora Bird.

Though it had reacted, its excessive exhaustion made its counterattack half a beat slower than the Emerald Aurora Bird's.

"Whoosh!"

A yellow blur flashed through the air. As the Emerald Aurora Bird dove down like lightning, its talons viciously clawed at the Spikehorn Dragon Viper's seven-inch point.

In that instant, the Emerald Aurora Bird's talons struck the Spikehorn Dragon Viper's body and locked tightly onto its seven-inch point.

Having achieved its aim, the Emerald Aurora Bird tried with all its strength to drive its sharp talons through the Spikehorn Dragon Viper's scales and flesh, seize and burst its heart, and kill it.

But the Spikehorn Dragon Viper's cultivation age was no joke. Its full thousand years of cultivation had made its scales almost as hard as metal.

The Emerald Aurora Bird's talons could easily pierce a Spikehorn Dragon Viper below the thousand-year level, but instantly penetrating the scales of this thousand-year Spikehorn Dragon Viper and killing it was difficult.

"Hiss!"

Feeling an intense pain from its seven-inch point, the Spikehorn Dragon Viper let out a pained hiss. Its vicious, grotesque snake head then lunged forward and bit fiercely at the Emerald Aurora Bird.

But although the Spikehorn Dragon Viper bit the Emerald Aurora Bird, the feathers on the bird's back were extremely tough. The viper's venom fangs could not pierce them at all.

It had injured the Emerald Aurora Bird earlier only because it had rammed its sharp horn into the softer feathers on the bird's abdomen.

But now, the Spikehorn Dragon Viper faced the hard feathers on the Emerald Aurora Bird's back. The two could not be compared.

Sensing the Spikehorn Dragon Viper's attack against its back, the Emerald Aurora Bird was not injured, but it understood that this was a dangerous sign.

So, the Emerald Aurora Bird clenched down harder with its sharp talons. This time, its claws finally pierced through the Spikehorn Dragon Viper's scales and entered its flesh, causing the viper to let out another agonized roar.

Realizing that it could not bite through the Emerald Aurora Bird, the Spikehorn Dragon Viper, as a vicious venomous snake, was not easily dealt with. It immediately unleashed a snake's second killing technique—constriction!

After abandoning its attempt to counterattack by biting the Emerald Aurora Bird, the Spikehorn Dragon Viper directly wrapped its body around the bird, intending to fight it to the death through constriction! Sensing the Spikehorn Dragon Viper's intentions, the Emerald Aurora Bird also gripped harder with its talons, trying to drive them completely into the flesh and pierce the viper's heart.

But this time, despite the pain, the Spikehorn Dragon Viper chose to endure it and ignore the agony inflicted by the Emerald Aurora Bird. It desperately tightened its coiled body around the bird, intending to use the strength granted by its size to crush the Emerald Aurora Bird to death! Seeing the two enormous creatures tangled together on the ground in the distant forest, Lin Ye's eyes immediately lit up.

The opportunity had come!

With a shift of his body, Lin Ye activated Phoenix Dance Six Illusions. He instantly leaped down from the tree and dove toward the distant forest.

In midair, Lin Ye drew the iron sword from his back with his left hand while summoning the Xuanyuan Sword with his right.

When he was less than twenty meters from the two soul beasts, Lin Ye twisted his body and adjusted his posture in midair. Gripping the iron sword and the Xuanyuan Sword, he violently hurled both swords from his hands.

The sharp iron sword and the Xuanyuan Sword let out shrill whistles as they tore through the air, shooting toward the two soul beasts locked in fierce battle. The iron sword targeted the already wounded Spikehorn Dragon Viper, while the Xuanyuan Sword targeted the Emerald Aurora Bird.

Hearing the sound of something slicing through the air, the two soul beasts finally noticed the danger hurtling toward them from afar.

But after their fierce battle, the two soul beasts were now completely entangled and could not separate at all.

Faced with the iron sword and Xuanyuan Sword shooting toward them through the air, there was no surprise: the iron sword followed the wound the Emerald Aurora Bird had torn at the Spikehorn Dragon Viper's seven-inch point, instantly pierced through the scales there, and ran through the Spikehorn Dragon Viper's heart.

The indestructible Xuanyuan Sword, meanwhile, pierced straight through the Emerald Aurora Bird's body.

"Hiss!"

"Shriek!"

Feeling the intense pain of sharp weapons piercing their bodies, the two soul beasts simultaneously let out agonized hisses and cries.

But before their cries could continue, they were cut off almost at once by the fatal attacks. Both soul beasts died, losing all signs of life.

The Emerald Aurora Bird had completely lost all signs of life, and its body no longer moved.

But because the Spikehorn Dragon Viper was a snake, its body had not entirely died yet and still twitched faintly.
