Return Of The Demon - 135 Fighting the three headed snake
Seeing that the snake was chasing after him, Bai Yun cursed. “What the hell are you chasing after me for you stupid snake? I left the lotus for you. You can have it. I won’t fight over it.” But the snake did not listen and continued chasing after Bai Yun.
What Bai Yun did not know was that snakes had an excellent sense of smell. The three headed snake had smelled the three other lotuses on Bai Yn. That was why it was determined to catch him.
Bai Yun realised that the snake was slowly but surely catching up to him. He could probably escape with soundless motion, but Bai Yun knew that with the snake’s sense of smell, it would soon track him down once his qi ran out. So with no other choice, Bai Yun decided to stay and fight.
Seeing that Bai Yun had stopped, the snake quickly caught up with him. The snake was over ten meters long, and the way it stood, it was over a meter tall. Its eyes were level with Bai Yun’s. The two of them stood there staring at each other for a moment.
The snake took a deep breath, then the mouth of the middle head opened up and a thick green smoke came at Bai Yun. Seeing this Bai Yun cast soundless motion and got out of the way of the smoke. When Bai Yun stopped and looked back at the place he was standing at, he realized that it had all turned into a wasteland. All the greenery at that place had quickly wilted and died. With this Bai Yun had understood the ability of the middle head, poison.
The snake hissed and the next moment a snake tail the size of a tree trunk came at Bai Yun. Bai Yun barely had enough time to block it with his sword before he was hit. The force of the collision send Bai Yun skidding back a couple of meters.
The snake turned around and lunged at Bai Yun with its three heads. Bai Yun cast soundless motion to dodge the attack.
Bai Yun maneuvered around to the back of the snake. In a single motion, Bai Yun struck at the snake’s back. But the sword only left a shallow mark on the snake’s scales.
Feeling angered, the snake turned around and coiled around Bai Yun. Seeing the danger, Bai Yun jumped up high. The snake followed suit and jumped up at Bai Yun. Bai Yun used the soul tendrils to change his direction and landed lightly on the snake’s middle head. The next moment Bai Yun cast soundless motion and appeared on a tree a little distance away.
The three headed snake was pushed down by the force of Bai Yun’s movement. But it simply turned around and lunged right at Bai Yun once again.
Bai Yun regretted that he hadn’t made a good bow until now. If he had a great bow, Bai Yun could shoot down the snake without getting too close to it. Bai Yun wasn’t too afraid of its strength. Bai Yun could definitely handle this beast. But it was its elemental attacks that made it a horror to be around.
By now the snake had neared Bai Yun once again. Bai Yun jumped off the tree and landed on the ground. From there he stabbed up towards the snake’s middle head.
But the snake twisted its body almost as if it knew that Bia Yun was coming for its middle head. Its right head turned around and appeared in front of Bai Yun. It opened up its mouth and took a deep breath. Sensing a great danger, Bai Yun wrapped himself in his four soul tendrils and swung himself to the side.
But it was a little too late. Sharp wind blades shaped like little needles appeared from its moth and headed straight towards Bai Yun. Even though Bai Yun got out of the way, he was still hit by a few wind blades.
With this Bai Yun found out the element of the right head, wind.
Bai Yun had many small holes on his body. Even though each of the wind blades were quite weak, there were many of them. It caused Bai Yun to have many small cuts on his body, turning him bloody.
The snake turned towards Bai Yun, hissing. Bai Yun cast soundless motion and moved away right before the place he was standing was slammed into by the snake’s tail.
Bai Yun knew that he had to get the snake to reveal the element of its third head before he could formulate a plan to kill it. In an instant, Bai Yun came up with a plan.
Bai Yun moved to the left side of the snake and attacked it from that side only. He was trying to make it so that the snake had to attack him with its left head. But the snake was dextrous and it kept on attacking Bai Yun with all three heads.
But Bai Yun was able to keep the snake’s heads at bay with simple sword. Every time the snake would try to open its mouth to attack, Bai Yun would attack it too so that it would have to dodge.
And then Bai Yun leaped up into the air a little bit. He sharply kicked the middle and right heads of the snake, causing them to turn away in pain. But the left head bit towards Bai Yun who was in the air.
Bai Yun blocked the snake’s head with his sword, causing him to be pushed back. But he unfortunately landed on a root of a nearby tree, slipped, and fell to the ground. Seeing the opportunity, the left head of the snake rapidly approached Bai Yun and opened its mouth wide right above him.
Realizing the danger, Bai Yun acted in an instant. All four of his soul tendrils joined together and slammed into the jaw of the snake. The collision caused the head of the snake to tilt, and thus change the direction of its attack.
A moment later a huge plume of fire scorched the area right above Bai Yun’s head. A few sparks even fell onto Bai Yun’s hair, and caused it to singe. With this Bai Yun had learned of its third ability, fire.
Bai Yun quickly got up from the ground before the heads of the snake could reorient to attack him. But at that moment, Bai Yun felt the snake’s tail coming at him. With no time to dodge, Bai Yun braced for impact.
In an instant, Bai Yun collided with the tail. The force of the collision send Bai Yun flying through the air and he came to a stop as he collided with a tree. Bai Yun spit out a bit of blood as he shakily stood up.
The three headed snake turned towards Bai Yun and started to slither towards him. A cold look appeared in Bai Yun’s eyes. He finally had a plan to kill the snake.
Seeing the approaching snake, Bai Yun also ran towards it. He transferred his sword to his left arm, and approached the snake quickly.
When the two of them neared each other, Bai Yun jumped up and stabbed his sword straight at the snake’s left head. At the same time, the snake opened its mouth and spewed out flames. Bai Yun bend his body in such a way that he managed to dodge most of the flames, but his hand was not so lucky. As the tip of the sword lit up when Bia Yun cast a ray of moonlight, it parted the flames that were coming out of the snaked mouth.
But it wasn’t completely effective. Some of the flames did hit Bai Yun’s arm. Ignoring the pain, Bai Yun thrust his sword. It went through the flames and with a splat, entered the snake’s mouth, and came out of its head.
Two of the three heads of the three headed snake screamed in pain, but one of its heads had already died. The other two heads turned around and bit at Bai Yun. Bai Yun kicked off the body of the snake and leaped back.
Bai Yun landed on the ground a good distance from the snake. In order to quickly escape, Bai Yun had left the sword stuck in the snake’s head. But he had made a backup sword just in case, and he quickly pulled it out from his storage ring.
Seeing the Bai Yun had killed one of its heads. The snake turned around and attacked Bai Yun fiercely. Bai Yun closed his eyes and waited for the snake to approach him. The moment the snake neared Bai Yun, its fangs dripping with venom, Bai Yun’s eyes opened.
The next moment Bai Yun’s figure flashed faster than the snake could follow. Bai Yun used sword drawing, and the next moment, a deep gash appeared on the right head of the three headed snake as Bai Yun passed by the snake without harm. As the snake screamed in pain, Bai Yun threw his sword and it curved in the air under the control of his soul tendrils and stabbed into the wound Bai Yun just gave the snake.
The sword that Bai Yun send was placed perfectly. It passed by the thick strong scales of the snake and stabbed into the wound. The sword then pierced through a major artery in the neck of the snake, creating a huge gush of blood. A moment later the second head of the snake also fell down dead.
Seeing that two of its heads were killed, the there headed snake finally started to panic. It turned around and ran away. By now Bai Yun was panting with tiredness.. But he had no intention of letting it get away. Not to mention his two swords were stuck on the snake.
Bai Yun cast soundless motion and appeared on top of the snake. He kicked down sharply driving its head into the ground. With two heads gone, and a huge amount of blood loss, the snake was much weaker now.
Bai Yun raised his right fist and a yellow red glow appeared on it. It was weaker than usual as Bai Yun was running out of qi at this point. Bai Yun used Lions roar and slammed down on the middle head of the snake.
The snake head collided with the ground, causing it to crack. At the same time, Bai Yun had pulled out his two swords using his soul tendril.s. He grabbed each sword with a hand. As he did so, a great pain shot through his left hand which had been burned by fire. Ignoring it, Bai Yun stabbed down with his two swords and drove them into the eyes of the middle head.
The body of the snake struggle beneath Bai Yun for a few minutes, before it finally went silent.
Bai Yun had killed the three headed snake.
