Lin Yu's face was slightly pale, but he gritted his teeth and continued to fight. Although his Heavenly Thunder Slash was very powerful, it could only barely break through the defense of a Golden Core stage demon beast. It was still too weak to deal with a mid-stage Golden Core peak venomous snake. Even if he could kill it, he would definitely suffer serious injuries.
But Lin Yu did not back down; he had no choice but to tough it out.
"Boom!"
The green snake was too fast; in the blink of an eye, it was already in front of Lin Yu and was about to bite Lin Yu's head!
"Watch out!" The young man beside him saw the green snake lunge at Lin Yu and was immediately horrified, hurriedly warning him.
Lin Yu snorted coldly and kicked at the green snake!
"Boom!"
He kicked the green snake, which froze, spun in the air, and fell to the ground, dazed and confused. It couldn't get up for a while, just twitching on the ground, seemingly seriously injured.
"Kid, you're amazing! This is a very powerful venomous snake. Even a cultivator in the late Golden Core stage would die instantly if bitten by it. You actually managed to kick it! You're truly remarkable!" The young man cheered loudly, his eyes filled with shock, as he saw Lin Yu kick the venomous snake so hard that it severely injured it.
Lin Yu ignored him and looked at the venomous snake on the ground, his expression uncertain. Although the green snake had suffered severe internal injuries, it was still able to get up. He couldn't underestimate this kind of venom. He had to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise, even if he could defeat it, he would still be doomed once the venomous ants arrived.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, a snake's tongue shot out from the venomous snake's mouth and attacked Lin Yu. The tongue was jet black and shiny, with a hint of green light.
Lin Yu was terrified and hurriedly activated the power of the Five Elements to condense a giant golden sword, blocking the snake's tongue!
clang!
A crisp sound rang out as the snake's tongue struck the giant sword. Surprisingly, it didn't break the sword; instead, it nearly caused Lin Yu to drop it from his hand.
"This venomous snake is truly remarkable; it's the king of venomous snakes, actually able to withstand my golden sword formed from the power of the five elements."
Lin Yu was deeply shocked when he saw the snake's tongue. He dared not be negligent and immediately took out a golden greatsword and slashed at the snake's tongue.
clang!
Another crisp sound rang out, and the snake's tongue remained firmly erect, actually deflecting the golden sword back once more.
Hiss... Hiss...
The venomous snake writhed on the ground, seemingly in excruciating pain. Its body had been slashed open in several places by Lin Yu's golden sword, dripping with blood and emitting a foul stench.
Enraged by the venomous snake, Lin Yu drew another golden sword and continued slashing.
"Boom!"
With another loud crash, the venomous snake was finally split open, and bright red snake blood spurted out, splashing onto the ground.
"Boy, you're too arrogant! How dare you kill my snake pet! Today I'll tear you to pieces!" Just then, a middle-aged man in green robes came rushing from afar and landed near where Lin Yu was fighting the venomous snake.
"Hmph!" Lin Yu snorted coldly, ignoring the man.
"What's your name? I've never heard of you before," the middle-aged man in blue asked Lin Yu.
"I'm not interested in telling you!" Lin Yu said indifferently.
This middle-aged man was two or three levels stronger than the green snake from before; he was at least a Golden Core cultivator. Lin Yu had no intention of greeting him.
"Hmph!"
The middle-aged man's expression turned somewhat unfriendly. He hadn't expected Lin Yu to be so arrogant. He snorted coldly and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll let you taste the power of our Golden Serpent Sect!" With that, he flicked his hand, and a series of green snakes pounced towards Lin Yu.
Lin Yu's expression turned cold, and he suddenly slashed down with the golden sword in his hand.
Pfft...
A golden sword light flashed, and one after another, the green snakes were severed, blood spurting out as they died before Lin Yu!
"You..." The middle-aged man's expression changed, an incredulous look appearing on his face. He never expected this middle-aged man in blue to be so powerful, killing the venomous snake with a single sword strike! Shocked, he was even more enraged. This middle-aged man in blue was so arrogant; if he wasn't taught a lesson, how could he live up to the prestigious reputation of the Golden Serpent Sect among ancient martial arts families!
"You're asking for it!"
The middle-aged man's face twisted into a ferocious grin as he reached out to grab Lin Yu's neck. He moved with incredible speed, arriving before Lin Yu in the blink of an eye, his hand gripping Lin Yu 'Lin Yu throat, ready to crush him!
This middle-aged man was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and his strength was considerable. Moreover, he had many attack methods. This time, he planned to capture Lin Yu first, then take him alive and hand him over to the sect for disposal, and then tear him to pieces!
"Get out!"
Lin Yu sneered and threw a punch at the man.
Bang!
Lin Yu's fist struck the middle-aged man's arm heavily, shattering it and sending shockwaves through him, splitting his hand and shattering all the bones in his arm.
The middle-aged man screamed and fell backward, crashing heavily to the ground, leaving two long, bloody tracks in the air. He looked utterly wretched.
The middle-aged man was deathly pale, his body trembling, clutching his arm and crying out in pain. He never expected Lin Yu's physical body to be so terrifying, that a single punch had made him vomit blood.
At this moment, he was filled with regret. If he had known that this kid was so ruthless, he should have sent a disciple to test him and see how strong he really was. Instead, he was killed by Lin Yu with a single sword strike. It was like shooting himself in the foot!
Lin Yu took a step forward and stood before the middle-aged man, coldly saying, "Now you can leave, right?"
The middle-aged man looked grim, but ultimately did not stay and slunk away.
This incident made Lin Yu realize that the Golden Serpent Sect was not only powerful, but also had high-level experts in charge, making it a force to be reckoned with. Lin Yu decided it was best not to provoke a conflict with this sect again.
Afterwards, he collected several more corpses of venomous snakes from the Golden Serpent Sect and scanned them with his divine sense. He then discovered that these snakes were actually tools used by the Golden Serpent Sect to raise poisonous insects. Moreover, these golden snakes had some special effects, such as being highly venomous and capable of devouring the souls of cultivators, and even their essence.
"This Golden Serpent Sect is so evil!" Lin Yu cursed inwardly.
After collecting the snake carcasses, Lin Yu searched the vicinity again, and this time he found another bead emitting a blue-purple halo and a cool aura that was invigorating.
The bead emitted an icy blue halo, appeared crystal clear, and exuded a bone-chilling coldness.
Lin Yu was taken aback, but without thinking much, he took off the bead and put it into his storage ring.
