Chapter 241: The Serpent's Charm

Chapter 241: The Serpent's Charm

Sun Zhengfang knelt on one knee, his hand pressed against the ground, his expression grave.

He held the Divine Technique of the Jade Phoenix Tree but hesitated to unleash it.

The towering tree, with its countless branches, seemed futile in the face of the Jade-faced Serpent Clan.

The Jade-faced Serpent needed only a breath of immortal energy to wither the phoenix tree and reduce it to nothingness.

The real reason for Sun Zhengfang's hesitation was his fear that the appearance of the massive phoenix tree might provoke the Jade-faced Serpent to summon the giant serpent!

As the team leader, Sun Zhengfang considered many possibilities.

Since the battle began, the Jade-faced Serpent had only summoned the giant serpent once, and that was when Lu Ran first bleated like a sheep.

Fortunately, the giant serpent soared diagonally into the night sky. If its angle of attack had been slightly different and it had flown towards the buildings, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"Great Dragon!" Sun Zhengfang shouted, "If it's not working, activate the Demon Sealing Grand Array!"

The Divine Techniques of the Jade Phoenix Tree Sect were easily countered and dissolved by the Jade-faced Serpent, but the Demon Confinement Sect's techniques were entirely different.

Based on the power and effectiveness of the Demon Sealing Grand Array, the risk was worth taking!

Wei Long's eyebrows furrowed. Should he use the Demon Sealing Grand Array?

Countless chains surged from the ground, engulfing and tearing apart the Jade-faced Serpent. Wei Long hesitated, not because the technique was energy-consuming, but because he didn't want to go against the Demon Confinement Sect's founder's original intention for the technique.

The mainstream belief was that the founder of the Demon Confinement Sect had created this technique out of compassion, allowing his followers to depart from the mortal world with dignity.

However, the current battlefield situation clearly didn't align with the scenario envisioned by the Deity of Demon Confinement.

Devotees always considered the deity they revered before taking any action. No one wanted to displease their deity.

On one hand, it was a matter of faith, self-restraint, and absolute respect for the deity.

On the other hand, if one acted recklessly and went against the deity's wishes, there was no telling when the deity might deny them the ability to cast spells!

At that moment, Sun Zhengfang spoke in a tone of discussion rather than command.

"Oh," Sun Zhengfang sighed inwardly, not urging Wei Long to hurry.

At this moment, the old team leader couldn't help but think of the team's former ace, Deng Yuxiang.

If the Northwind disciple were still on the team, there would be no need to take such a risky move. Since Deng Yuxiang's departure, Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi had been the team's main forces in various aspects, including offense and defense.

"Yes!" Wei Long made a firm decision, "I..."

Wei Long didn't hesitate for long and was about to go against the founder's wishes. After all, the battlefield was close to a residential compound, and every second the Jade-faced Serpent survived meant more danger for the residents.

Just as Wei Long was about to charge forward, a figure darted through the battle and attacked the Jade-faced Serpent:

"Baa!"

Sun Zhengfang's gaze followed the figure, and his expression changed.

After several encounters, the experienced Sun Zhengfang had roughly judged that this Jade-faced Serpent was likely a Five-Segment Demon of the River Realm.

At this moment, the Jade-faced Serpent's eight immortal tails were wildly lashing the surroundings. Although Lu Ran dared to confront the Puppet Shadow Clan amidst countless red threads, the Puppet Robe relied solely on quantity.

The strength and speed of the red cloth and threads were no match for the Jade-faced Serpent's eight immortal tails!

Additionally, the area where the Jade-faced Serpent was located was filled with churning quicksand. Countless sand whips surged, determined to drag the Jade-faced Serpent down and bury it alive.

If Lu Ran got too close, he would also become a target for burial.

The Jade-faced Serpent, with its unique body structure and eight immortal tails, could navigate through the yellow sand, but Lu Ran, as a human...

No!

At this moment, his name was "Flame Charm"!

"Chi—"

Lu Ran stepped into the quicksand region, surrounded by swirling mist.

Suddenly, a thin sand whip lashed out, moving at an incredible speed and from a tricky angle.

Lu Ran had already activated the Evil Perception Spell, allowing him to observe all directions and listen to every sound.

"Slap!"

He bounced off the quicksand, and a layer of wind and waves appeared on the sole of his shoe.

Night Charm Sorcery - Night Dance Enchanting City!

Lu Ran loved this name and the feeling of slaying arrogant demons amidst this enchanting dance.

"Huff~"

Lu Ran's forward-darting figure suddenly twisted, and as he sidestepped, he allowed the sand whip to graze his chest.

This scene was quite interesting.

Jiang Ruyi's Divine Technique of Flowing Sand was meant to restrict the Jade-faced Serpent's movements, but it had now become an obstacle for Lu Ran's attack.

However, Lu Ran didn't ask Jiang Ruyi to cancel the technique. He needed the sand to restrict the Jade-faced Serpent and the sand whips to distract its immortal tails.

"Lu," Jiang Ruyi's beautiful eyes narrowed.

Knowing Lu Ran's abilities, she uttered a single word and focused all her attention on the Jade-faced Serpent.

Helping him was the only thing she could do now!

Jiang Ruyi, floating in the air, suddenly raised her hand.

The Cool Night Sword, still soaring upward, immediately stopped its stabbing motion and swiftly turned its blade.

"Ssss!"

The Jade-faced Serpent let out a sharp hiss and slightly raised the jade serpent in its hand.

Suddenly, a giant phantom serpent rapidly took form and lunged towards the night sky.

Jade-faced Serpent's Demonic Technique: Immortal Heavenly Serpent!

Jiang Ruyi remained fearless, her foundational knowledge solid as she was well-versed in the characteristics of this demonic technique. She immediately chose to fly horizontally.

This Immortal Heavenly Serpent was indeed massive in size and possessed astonishing destructive power.

However, it moved in a straight line, unable to turn or automatically detect enemies.

"Hiss!"

The Jade-faced Serpent let out another painful cry. Just as she raised her jade scepter, a blood-red chain entangled her.

Wei Long decisively cast a spell, vigorously manipulating the blood-colored chain to grow sharp spikes.

Stabbing the demon's arm was not his intention.

Wei Long wanted to strangle the Jade-faced Serpent's neck and entangle her head.

Unfortunately, the serpent's body constantly slithered around her upper body, almost covering her torso and protecting her vital areas.

"Hiss!!"

The Jade-faced Serpent's agonized scream had barely subsided when it suddenly intensified.

The initially hoarse serpent's cry became piercingly sharp, causing everyone to tremble with fear.

Because that little lamb had forced his way in! Right behind the Jade-faced Serpent, Lu Ran held dual blades, stepping on immortal mist, and crossed the surging quicksand to strike at the Yellow Dragon!

"Whoosh!"

A flash of blade light passed by, drawing a crescent arc.

An immortal serpent's tail was brutally severed by the Night Silence Blade! The severed tail fell with a "pat" and was dragged into the swirling yellow sand.

Divine power surged within Lu Ran, almost boiling, and his physical strength was astonishing! The Soulshatter Bull's power was unleashed in full force!

"Whoosh!"

Lu Ran stepped on the surging waves, hidden by the immortal mist, and suddenly darted sideways.

The Radiant Light Saber in his left hand swung out another crescent arc.

In an instant, a golden-red glow burst forth!

Under the radiant light, another serpent's tail was cut off by more than half!

"Hiss!!"

The Jade-faced Serpent twisted in pain, screaming pitifully, but she dared not turn back.

A longsword swiftly stabbed downward, emitting a terrifying sound that pierced the air.

The Jade-faced Serpent only felt the deadly attack approaching, paying no heed to the lamb lurking behind her. She swiftly wrapped her serpent tail around her upper body and desperately cast a spell.

Demonic Technique: Celestial Scale Defense!

"Tsk!"

This time, the divine weapon was not blasted away.

The defense that the Radiant Light Saber couldn't break was pierced by the Cool Night Sword's full force! However, even with the Cool Night Sword's unmatched momentum, it only managed to tear through the serpent's scales and penetrate a few inches into its body, failing to truly impale it.

The defensive power of the Demonic Technique: Celestial Scale Defense was ridiculously strong! Behind such formidable defense, there was always a price to pay—rigidity.

Including the multiple serpent tails, the entire Jade-faced Serpent was immobilized.

In an instant, sand whips emerged from the quicksand, striking the serpent's tails and binding the Jade-faced Serpent, attempting to drag her into the depths of the earth.

"Tsk—"

The sound of surging immortal mist made everyone's blood boil.

But the scene unfolding in the rear battle group was even more jaw-dropping.

The wildly swinging sand whips and entangled serpent tails all became leverage points for Lu Ran! Within the chaotic battle, Lu Ran's feet emitted spurts of immortal mist, short and rapid, as his figure flipped and flew.

In the world created by the sand whips and serpent tails, Lu Ran repeatedly retreated and advanced, rapidly charging into the very center!

His cold, piercing eyes fixed on the Jade-faced Serpent, coiled into a ball.

On the coils of the serpent's tail, Lu Ran found a tiny gap! With the Evil Perception Spell activated, Lu Ran's vision of the battlefield never dimmed, and his eyes were incredibly sharp! A gap? See the gap, stab the blade!

"Tsk—"

This was the sound of Lu Ran stepping on the surging waves, the spray of immortal mist.

"Tsk!"

This was the sound of the Night Silence Blade piercing through the gap in the serpent's body and penetrating the beauty's skull.

The scales indeed provided exceptional defense.

But the Jade-faced Serpent's upper body was always flesh and blood.

"Wait for her demonic technique to disappear before stabbing... Ah?"

"Did it pierce? Did it go in?"

"Heavenly Talents, our Heavenly Talents!"

Along the residential compound fence, a group of Moon Watchers guarding the residential building, ready to block any gunshots, turned their heads.

Lu Ran's final strike was incredibly powerful.

Gripping the Night Silence Blade, he continued to pierce the Jade-faced Serpent's skull, flying rapidly along the street.

The Jade-faced Serpent's multiple serpent tails had already gone limp, swaying back and forth in the wind and rain.

This incredibly powerful demon met its end, perishing on the spot.

"Captain Sun." Wei Long gazed at the distant street and called out softly.

"Huh?" Sun Zhengfang kept turning his head, his gaze following the man and the demon.

Wei Long: "It seems I won't need to deploy the Demon Sealing Grand Array after all."

Sun Zhengfang: "..."

Just now, he had made a difficult decision and consulted his team: "If all else fails, you can deploy the Demon Sealing Grand Array."

The proof was:

Lu Ran, approved!

"Pfft~"

Amidst the layers of rain, the Jade-faced Serpent shattered into mist.

Lu Ran, drenched in the white mist, still had the Jade-faced Serpent's terrified face floating in his mind.

His gaze remained cold, and he muttered softly, "Quiet."

"Buzz!"

The Night Silence Blade trembled slightly.
