Ratata!Tyrell was the first to fire a shot. Although he missed it entirely due to fear and the suddenness of the situation, his action set a strong precedent.The other mercenaries quickly snapped out of their shock and immediately raised their guns to shoot.Their accuracy was significantly better than Tyrell's.Bullets came down like a hailstorm, completely overwhelming the serpent.An astonishing scene unfolded!The bullets hit the serpent's body and, without exception, bounced off.Even a large-caliber weapon only managed to leave a tiny mark on its scales.Tyrell was absolutely astounded!He considered himself well-versed and experienced, but he had never seen a creature of such enormous size.The head alone was as big as a truck!It was covered in pitch-black scales, each one resembling a pot lid.The shotgun in Tyrell's hands had been emptied of its shells, but it didn't leave even the slightest mark on the serpent's body.The serpent swiftly emerged from the pond,
Even the capable old man couldn't stand up and save himself, so how could he have the strength to save others?Timmy was on the brink of death and could no longer speak. Just before he was swallowed by the serpent, he gave Karly a determined look.Then, he used all his strength to remove the two grenades hanging from his chest and pulled out the safety pins with his teeth."No..."Karly's face was covered in tears, and she looked utterly devastated.She watched helplessly as the serpent swallowed Timmy.Tyrell and his team saw what was happening and all of them looked delighted.Got it!A grenade exploding in the jaws of a serpent would definitely be able to blow its head off.Boom!Two explosions went off in quick succession, causing the serpent's head to shake violently. Its pupils suddenly narrowed, and its body plummeted into the water."It's done!" Tyrell exclaimed excitedly, slapping his thigh.No matter how strong the serpent's scales were, it could not withstand an
Pft!A strike of wind from a palm cut through the eyelid of the serpent, causing a burst of blood to spray out.Suddenly, its eye, which was larger than a watermelon, began to quickly fill with blood and turn red.The serpent, feeling the pain, violently whipped its head in the opposite direction and let out a piercing, dreadful scream from its massive jaws.Due to the unexpected turn of events, the serpent abandoned its target, Rosie, and turned its furious gaze toward the person who had ambushed it.It was Woody.The serpent bared its teeth and let out a roar.The two grenades that just exploded in its mouth didn't actually cause very serious injuries.It turned out the injury to the eye was more severe!Hiss!The serpent spat out its forked black tongue as it emerged from the water, swiftly moving toward Woody."What is this kid up to? Was that really his palm strike just now? That doesn't seem possible!""Is he trying to provoke the serpent? That's really overestimating
A serpent that lived to this age could easily understand human speech.Since it refused Woody's goodwill, then Woody didn't care anymore."Die!" Woody snapped his fingers.An unseen force lightly touched the forehead of the serpent.The creature shuddered, and then its head instantly burst open like a watermelon."Boom!"In an instant, there was the black of serpent scales, the red of fresh blood, and the white of brain matter...Countless pieces shattered and scattered all over the ground.The serpent's eyes suddenly lost their luster, and its jaw crashed heavily into the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.A long tail weakly hit the water surface, sending up a splash that reached several meters high.The crowd gasped collectively.They were astonished!Their eyes were wide open.The scene became completely silent, quiet enough to hear a pin drop.They would rather believe that what they were seeing was an illusion, not reality.Woody, a seemingly obscure country guy, n
Achieving the transformation from a demon to a serpent was incredibly challenging!Despite the fact that this creature had been cultivating for over 900 years and was now very close to having the characteristics of a serpent, when faced with a heavenly tribulation, most often, eight or nine out of ten would be utterly obliterated.However, once transformed into a ghost serpent, the situation would begin to change.First, it would have a longer training period.Furthermore, the experience accumulated over the past thousand years would be immensely beneficial for it.Finally, and most importantly, the intensity of the heavenly tribulation for the ghost serpent ascending was one level lower than that of the demon serpent.The chances of success would be higher!Woody definitely knew the importance of balancing toughness with kindness. In simple terms, it meant giving someone a hard time and then sweetening the deal.This slap was hard enough to leave the serpent with no way out.
"Alright, I'll follow your instructions completely!"The serpent had witnessed the capabilities of Woody and now had complete trust in him.Of course, it didn't really have a choice.They finished their brief interaction, but the people outside were still in shock.Woody stepped forward and reached out to open the serpent's mouth.On the right side, there was a pouch-like space with a vibrant green plant resting quietly inside.About 40 centimeters tall, the branches resembled coral, and the texture was akin to fine jade.This was the Clover Frost Leaf.Even though it was a rare and valuable herb, it was useless to Woody.Well, since he had come across it, he might as well take it.He opened his backpack, took out a sealed bag, and put the leaf inside.Whoosh!As the zipper on the backpack was pulled shut, the sound sent a shiver through the group.They all had the same shocked expressions on their faces, staring at the lifeless body of the serpent and the chaotic surround
At this moment, Karly's expression was twisted and fierce!Looking around at the strewn bodies, over eighty percent of the mercenaries were dead.In addition to Timmy, who was devoured by the serpent, and the severely injured Mr. Smitt, even Karly herself almost died here.When Karly saw Woody with his calm and collected demeanor, her emotions soared, and a sudden, inexplicable anger flared up, leaving her unable to contain her rage.Since he had the ability to kill the serpent, why didn't he act from the start?This way, so many people wouldn't have to die!It was clear that Karly blamed Woody entirely for these people's deaths."Are you talking to me?" Woody looked displeased, his gaze suddenly sharp.Karly shouted angrily, "Who else would I be talking about if not you?""Ms. Watts!"Mr. Smitt, gravely injured and coughing up blood, exclaimed loudly, "Stop talking! Show some respect!"It was not that Mr. Smitt was more polite than Karly; it was just that he knew Woody was
Karly widened her eyes and said, "Mr. Smitt, did you see that? This guy doesn't appreciate your kindness at all. Why bother trying to be friendly when he's so cold toward you? Someone so selfish and unwilling to acknowledge their mistakes, and you're still defending them?"Mr. Smitt hurriedly stepped forward and covered her mouth, saying, "Miss, please say no more!"If it weren't for the fact that the old man was at least sensible, even if Woody hadn't killed Karly, he would have already slapped her hard.Other people might be intimidated by her title as the lady of the Watts family, but Woody would not treat her any differently because of it!Woody ignored the spoiled woman, leaped up onto the serpent's head, and positioned his feet just below its eyelid.After a moment, Woody held a bead that emitted a gentle golden glow.It was about five centimeters in diameter and felt smooth and pleasant to the touch.This was the demon elixir formed by the serpent after 1,500 years of tr
Solomon didn't dare to resist and could only comply.By the time everyone arrived at the back of the mountain, the sky was already starting to lighten.Directly ahead lied a deep canyon with steep cliffs.Woody tied one end of the rope to the bridge pillar, slung the coil of rope over his shoulder, and nodded to the people around him."Is there something wrong?" Woody asked the battered elder.The elder quickly responded, "No problem!"Woody pushed off with one foot, launching himself into the air toward the other side of the cliff.While Woody was halfway through the flight, his body began to plummet downward.From this angle, he didn't stand a chance of making it across.At that moment, a giant eagle swooped in from the side.The elder stood at the edge of the cliff and blew the eagle whistle.The giant eagle spread its wings, and with Woody stepping onto its back, they instantly shifted from falling to ascending.In the next moment, he landed steadily at the edge of the
Woody's bold statements echoed throughout the entire Martial Arts Union Headquarters.In the past, if anyone dared to speak to their union president like that, Solomon wouldn't even need to say anything–the followers alone would leave the person questioning their life choices!In front of the Headquarters, how could he be allowed to speak recklessly?The current situation was that Woody not only said something, but also tore down their gate and injured dozens of their people.Of course, this number wasn't set in stone.If anyone else dared to step up, Woody certainly wouldn't hold back and was more than willing to help the Martial Arts Union continue increasing the number of casualties."You... have quite the attitude!"Solomon, being the union president of the alliance, held a certain standing and position, so it was unlikely for him to just back down easily.In reality, he had been feeling extremely anxious for quite some time.The eight seasoned elders teamed up and still c
He didn't want anyone to mention it, especially in public."Where are the eight elders?" Solomon's eyes were filled with rage as he shouted loudly."Here!" The eight elders spoke in unison, giving their response."That person destroyed our place and harmed our followers; he should be struck down on the spot to serve as a warning to others," Solomon said through gritted teeth.The eight elders responded in unison, "Yes, sir!""Attack!"The eight of them were all masters of martial arts who had reached the Peak level.They had impressive performance!At the headquarters, in terms of both status and strength, they were second only to Solomon.Even the legendary Martial God wouldn't stand a chance against the combined strength of these eight individuals.They coordinated seamlessly, surrounding Woody and launching a flurry of fierce attacks from all directions.If it were someone else, they would have been torn apart by them.Woody remained calm, letting his mind wander for a m
In the darkness, countless shadows darted back and forth.When they clearly saw that the gateway, which symbolized the Martial Arts Union, had been destroyed and was now nothing more than a pile of rubble, they were immediately filled with rage."Who dared to be so bold and fearless!""How dare you tear down the Martial Arts Union's gate? You're asking for trouble.""Whoever it is, they're definitely not a good person. Let's deal with them thoroughly first and ask questions later!"A crowd filled with anger saw what appeared to be a figure standing in front of the ruins."Hey kid, did you see who did it?"A sharp-eyed person noticed that the figure was a young man and immediately started questioning him."I'm warning you, this situation is serious. You need to tell everything you've seen, or else you'll face the consequences."Woody stood calmly and said, "I saw it.""Come on, who is it?" a group of people demanded in unison.Woody said calmly, "That's me!""What?!"The gr
Rudolf immediately became anxious. He shielded his granddaughter, Penny, while loudly rebuking, "Mr. Edwards, is this really how your Martial Arts Union treats guests? If word gets out, we won't be afraid of becoming the laughingstock of our peers in the martial arts community!"Solomon was completely unfazed. "You think you're worthy of being called guests?"Faced with a large group of people who were eyeing them aggressively, the three of them were no match at all.It was quickly dealt with!"Solomon, aren't you worried that Mr. Snider's disciple, Woody, will come looking for trouble if you do this?" Rudolf shouted loudly while struggling.Solomon couldn’t care less. “If he dares to come, I will make sure he gets a taste of being a prisoner! The person you were taught by is no good, so it's likely you won't be any better. It's fitting that you pay off your teacher's debt. Let both the old man and you face the consequences together!"What's all the fuss about Woody? He's just a
Solomon was using very offensive language.Miranda had a cold look on her face, but since she was on someone else's turf, she couldn't act out.Jaycee was actually Solomon's sister, and there was an age difference of over twenty years between them.After Jaycee was born, her parents passed away due to illness. Before their death, they entrusted her, still an infant, to the care of Solomon.Solomon had a hard time raising his younger sister by himself. Now, as he watched her grow into a beautiful and talented young woman, she was becoming increasingly admired by people in the martial arts community.There were so many people trying to arrange marriages with the Edwards family that they practically wore down the doorstep from their frequent visits.Solomon was overwhelmed with options, dreaming of his sister marrying into a wealthy family and securing a beautiful marriage.Dreams shattered!Jaycee, who was as fresh and naive, ended up being paired with someone considered old and
To be honest, Woody was quite intrigued.Every time he got into a scuffle with the underlings, he couldn't help but deeply miss Alexia.The esteemed Princess of the Epochal Realm was clearly being used by him as a henchman.The key point is that Alexia wasn't upset at all; instead, she was quite happy to help."No way."Reason overcame impulse, and Woody frowned as he said, "You have to stay at home. Only then can I be at ease."Alexia's expression fell. "Alright then!"Woody laughed and said, "You're being so obedient, I must reward you for that.""What kind of reward?" Her ears perked up with excitement, and her eyes were sparkling.Woody pulled a serpent's core of his pocket and said, "I promised you a gift earlier, and now I'm making good on that promise."Alexia's eyes lit up with excitement again. "The serpent's inner core!"In the past, she would not have paid any attention to the inner core of this quality.Every extra look is an insult to the title "Princess of the
Edwin was, of course, unconvinced! As the teacher, he had failed, but the student had succeeded on the first try. If it wasn't sheer luck, then what was it? Woody didn't respond and picked up a second heavenly crystal. Moments later, he succeeded again! Edwin's eyes widened in amazement, as though he witnessed something truly extraordinary. Meanwhile, the admiration on Alexia's face skyrocketed. "Try it again!" Edwin was still unwilling to accept it. This time, Woody didn't humor him and directly put away the remaining heavenly crystals. "What's the meaning of this?" Edwin widened his eyes. Woody stood up to leave and without looking back, he said, "Thanks!""Wait, are you sure you've fully mastered it?"Edwin hurried after him and said, "What if something goes wrong? I can help you figure it out!""No need. If my master believes he's fine, then he's definitely going to be fine," Alexia said, blocking the old man and speaking with solemn assurance. At that moment, Edwin's
Edwin stiffened his neck, trying to maintain a normal expression to cover up his embarrassment as his earlier demonstration had ended in failure. Although he knew the method, his lack of practice over the years had led to a mistake, which was understandable.""Ha..." Alexia let out a big yawn, her eyelids feeling as though they were weighed down by a thousand pounds; she was getting sleepy!Edwin's lengthy lecture had successfully bored her into a drowsy state. As for the later parts of the lesson, it didn't register in her mind at all; everything he said went in one ear and out the other, leaving no trace behind. "Carry on…"Alexia stretched lazily signaling for the two of them to continue without being affected by her. This left Edwin feeling utterly defeated! He felt as though he had been slapped in the face! Putting a student to sleep was already embarrassing enough, but to make matters worse, his demonstration had also failed. "It's fine, let me try." Woody volunteered.
