Meanwhile, Lin Yu, Goku, and Xiao Yan had arrived at the Merciless Sea.
In the distance, black mist surged, the seawater churned violently, and a huge black shadow slowly rose from the sea.
It was the Blackwater Serpent.
Its scales were as black as ink, gleaming with a cold luster. Its head was larger than a house, and its mouth was full of huge fangs dripping with dark green venom. Just standing there, it exuded a suffocating aura of power.
Goku stepped forward, fearlessly reaching out to touch the Mystic Serpent's scales, and then compared them to its enormous fangs.
"Wow, this snake is huge! It's ten times bigger than any python I've ever seen!"
As he spoke, he reached out to touch the fangs, but Lin Yu grabbed him, saying, "Don't touch them, their fangs are highly poisonous."
"You guys aren't giving it any face at all, it seems to be angry." Xiao Yan's lips twitched as he looked at the Mystic Serpent's hood gradually opening, preparing for an emergency.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, the Mystic Serpent's head slammed into the three of them.
The three of them instantly jumped aside, dodging the attack.
The Mystic Serpent's attack missed, smashing a deep crater into the ground beside it.
"Alright! Let's beat it until it submits." Seeing it make a move, Goku swung his palm to strike.
"Is this giant snake delicious?" Just as Goku was warming up, Shi Hao came over, staring at the Mystic Serpent's hundreds-of-zhang-long body with drool in his eyes.
It seemed to be pondering where to bake next.
Lin Yu turned around in the direction Shi Hao had come from. He found Biyao and the other girl tied up and left to be looked after by Su Xiaoxiao and the others.
Before Lin Yu could ask any more questions, the Blackwater Serpent became even more frenzied due to its missed attacks. Its huge head slammed repeatedly like a giant hammer, each impact causing the sky to collapse and the earth to crack, with fragments of rock flying everywhere.
While nimbly dodging, Lin Yu secretly calculated. "This Mystic Serpent has lived for over a thousand years. Its scales are hard enough to block magical artifacts, its venom can be used to refine poisonous gu, and its gallbladder is an extremely precious tonic. I must be careful when I make my move later; I can't destroy these treasures."
"Stop dodging! Watch this!" Goku could no longer contain himself. He stood firmly in a horse stance, and when the Mystic Serpent's head came crashing down again, he pushed forward with both hands and firmly gripped the Mystic Serpent's huge mouth.
The immense impact caused Goku's feet to carve two deep furrows in the ground, and he slid for dozens of meters before regaining his balance.
Immediately afterwards, Goku exerted his strength in his waist and abdomen, let out a loud shout, and actually lifted the hundred-meter-long Mystic Serpent up, using the momentum to perform an over-the-shoulder throw!
"Bang--!"
The Mystic Serpent's body crashed heavily against the cliff, shattering the rocks and sending dust billowing into the air.
But it was thick-skinned and tough, so the fall only made it shake its head, and it quickly got up again, letting out a deafening roar at the group.
Dark green venom dripped from the fangs, corroding small pits in the ground.
"Goku, stop playing around and finish this quickly!" Lin Yu reminded him.
Goku grinned, abandoning his playful thoughts.
Suddenly, golden light burst forth from his body, his black hair instantly turned gold, his muscles bulged slightly, and his aura suddenly became stronger.
The Mystic Serpent charged again, but Goku flashed and instantly appeared at the Mystic Serpent's jaw, unleashing a powerful punch!
"Thump!" The force of the punch exploded, and the Mystic Serpent's hundreds of meters long body was sent flying into the air, tumbling in mid-air.
Shi Hao had been waiting above. When he saw the Mystic Serpent flying over, a phantom of a giant statue materialized behind him. He leaped up, landed on the serpent's head, and stomped down hard on the Mystic Serpent's head!
Goku already had some residual power, and then Shi Hao stomped on him.
The two forces collided in mid-air, instantly generating a terrifying shockwave.
Finally, Goku's power waned, and the giant snake was trampled by Shi Hao, falling like a meteor.
The Mystic Serpent's head was forcefully stomped into the ground, causing a huge crater to collapse and billowing dust.
You Ji watched this scene from afar, her pupils contracted sharply, and her fingers clenched involuntarily.
She checked the faces of the people repeatedly and confirmed that she had never seen them before.
She had lived for hundreds of years and had never seen such a terrifying young man; there couldn't possibly be so many of them in the world for no reason.
"All done?" Huang Rong asked, craning her neck and looking on with curiosity in her eyes.
Lin Yu shook his head, his voice not loud but clear enough to reach everyone's ears. "Not yet, I'm tough, I'm not seriously injured."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a churning sound came from the deep pit, and the Mystic Serpent's tail lashed out, striking towards Shi Hao.
Shi Hao reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side while also picking up the two black scales that the Mystic Serpent had shed.
The scales were as large as a door panel, with sharp edges and a cold gleam.
"These scales are quite nice; they can be made into a breastplate!" Shi Hao weighed the scales in his hand, his eyes shining.
The Mystic Serpent crawled out of the deep pit, several scales falling off its head to reveal pale pink flesh underneath, clearly enraged.
It opened its mouth wide, and a black energy ball condensed within it, clearly preparing to unleash a deadly attack.
"Watch out for its breath!" Lin Yu warned, while simultaneously raising his hand to draw a circle, creating a barrier in front of him to defend against it.
The black energy ball in the Mystic Serpent grew larger and larger, and the surrounding air seemed to be corroded by a deadly poison, with faint black patterns appearing on it.
Just as it was about to unleash its breath, the barrier in front of Lin Yu suddenly lit up with golden light, like a giant umbrella that completely enveloped the entire breath.
The black breath struck the barrier but did not explode; instead, it was slowly absorbed like water hitting a sponge.
A moment later, the breath ended, and a dark purple sphere condensed in the center of the barrier, its surface still slightly wriggling—the concentrated venom of the Mystic Serpent.
Lin Yu raised his hand and put the sphere into his personal space, a smile playing on his lips: This venom is perfect for raising my Gu worms.
Seeing that its killing move had been easily neutralized, the Mystic Serpent still refused to give up. Its huge tail lashed the ground repeatedly like a steel whip, stirring up a storm of rubble and smashing it towards Lin Yu and the others.
Goku and Shi Hao wanted to fight again, but Lin Yu stopped them with a raised hand. "Don't waste time, we still need to get to the Blooddrip Cave."
As soon as he finished speaking, a chilling sword intent suddenly surged around Lin Yu, and the invisible sword energy caused ripples in the air.
Seeing that Goku and the others were not going to kill him, Lin Yu decided that he would have to do it himself.
He pointed his fingers like a sword, slowly raised his arm, and a golden sword shadow that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth materialized behind him.
The sword shadow stretched for tens of feet, its blade flowing with light. The sheer pressure it exuded made You Ji and Biyao tremble in the distance.
Even the Mystic Serpent fell silent for a moment.
"What kind of sword technique is this?" You Ji murmured to herself. She had never seen such domineering sword intent before. Even the Zhu Xian Sword of the Qingyun Sect was probably no more than this.
Lin Yu's gaze sharpened, and he swung his arm down suddenly!
The golden sword shadow behind him seemed to come alive, whistling through the air as it precisely slashed towards the Mystic Serpent's neck.
The Mystic Serpent sensed the danger and tried to dodge, but it was locked onto by the sword shadows and could not move at all.
Swish--
The sword flashed past without a deafening roar, only a faint cutting sound.
