Chapter 419: The Dou Huang Demon Serpent, Rescuing Han Xue
"Heh heh, little girl, with just your measly Dou Wang strength, how could you possibly escape the palm of my hand?"
Demon Serpent Xia Mang let out a chilling laugh as he watched Han Xue charge at him again.
Without warning, he opened his mouth wide, and a green streak of Dou Qi shot out like a bolt of lightning, slamming directly into Han Xue's longsword.
Boom!
The sword shattered instantly, and Han Xue's body was blasted backward, her once rosy cheeks turning pale. She looked extremely fragile at that moment.
The gap in strength was simply too vast.
Without some sort of miraculous advantage, who could possibly overcome the divide between Dou Wang and Dou Huang?
Even if Han Yue were here, she would stand no chance against Xia Mang at her current level.
"Commander Xia! We are from the Han Family of Tianbei City! If you dare harm us, our family's Patriarch and Elders will never let you go!"
Seeing Han Xue injured, Han Chong immediately shouted furiously from below.
"Jie jie jie~ The Han Family? A few old geezers, so what? Even if I can't beat them, I can still run, can't I?"
"And besides…" Xia Mang's sinister grin widened, "if I kill all of you here, who would know it was me?"
"Once I turn this little beauty into my woman, I'll bring my lovely bride and our future child to visit the Han Family… by then, wouldn't we all be one happy family? Jie jie jie hahahaha!"
His grotesque laughter echoed through the gorge, sending chilling shivers down everyone's spines.
At the same time, countless snakes surrounding the canyon began hissing aggressively.
Then, Xia Mang let out a sharp, eerie hiss a unique command that only serpents could understand.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, waves of venomous snakes launched themselves forward, raining down from the cliffs like a living storm.
The sight was utterly terrifying.
Even the seasoned Han Family guards, trained warriors, began to show signs of despair.
Their only option was to fight to the death.
Even though they knew they would die, they refused to simply wait for death.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Before the venomous flood could descend upon them, every single snake suddenly burst into flames!
As the fiery snakes fell, they vanished into nothingness, leaving behind only wisps of heat in the air.
A stunned silence fell over the battlefield.
What… just happened?
Had the snakes spontaneously combusted?!
No! That was impossible!
Someone powerful was helping them!
Han Xue, who had already resigned herself to death, froze in disbelief.
She had been seconds away from self detonating to prevent herself from falling into Xia Mang's clutches.
But now
Her heart filled with hope.
Whoever had intervened she wasn't going to die just yet!
The canyon, once filled with hissing snakes, now felt eerily quiet.
The remaining serpents slithered uneasily, their natural instincts screaming danger.
Han Chong and the others immediately fell back, forming a defensive perimeter around Han Xue.
They had no idea if their mysterious savior was a friend or foe.
After all… what if this person also had their eyes on their Lady?
They couldn't afford to let their guard down not yet.
Escaping one den of snakes, only to fall into a wolf's jaws?
That would be an even worse fate.
Their eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for their unknown benefactor.
But… nothing.
All they could see was Xia Mang, his face twisted in fury.
The serpentine commander glared at his slaughtered minions, his eyes brimming with rage and confusion.
He assumed the Han Family had hidden a powerful expert among them.
With a chilling screech, Xia Mang issued a second command, summoning his largest and most venomous snakes!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The enormous serpents lunged forward, their razor sharp fangs glinting in the dim light.
Han Chong and the others braced themselves for impact.
Would their mysterious savior intervene again?
BOOM!
A sea of crimson flames erupted from the sky, engulfing the snakes in an instant.
But this time
Something far more terrifying happened.
The flames coalesced into two enormous wings of fire, each spanning dozens of meters.
Then
Whoosh!
The wings swept through the canyon, leaving behind a scene too horrifying to comprehend.
Every single snake, from the smallest vipers to the largest magical beasts, had been utterly erased.
Not even ashes remained.
The once lush, forested gorge had been transformed into barren rock a wasteland devoid of life.
The Han Family warriors stood frozen, their jaws hanging open in disbelief.
This…
Even a Dou Huang expert couldn't achieve such devastation!
"Who's there?!"
Xia Mang screeched in panic, his earlier arrogance completely shattered.
The Han Family, on the other hand, felt a wave of elation wash over them.
Before, they had doubted their savior's intentions.
But now
It was clear.
If their benefactor wanted Han Xue, they would have already wiped them out too.
The fact that they were still alive meant this person was truly helping them!
"Miss! We're saved!"
Han Chong's voice trembled with barely contained excitement.
Han Xue's eyes scanned the area, trying to spot their savior.
But… nothing.
Her brows furrowed.
Why hadn't they revealed themselves?
Could it be…
A passing powerhouse who simply helped out of goodwill?
That was too unbelievable.
"Senior! Whoever you are, this is a personal matter between me and these people! Please do not interfere!"
Xia Mang forced himself to remain calm, adopting a submissive tone.
His plea echoed through the gorge, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief
A chilling voice resonated through the air.
"A mere six rank magical beast… daring to touch one of my family? You must have a death wish."
The moment the words were spoken
Everyone felt an overwhelming pressure crush their souls.
Even Xia Mang
A demon serpent with an incredibly tough mind found himself trembling uncontrollably.
His instincts screamed at him to run.
"Shit !"
He turned and bolted toward the exit!
"A little worm like you thinks it can escape? Get back here!"
Before Xia Mang could even react
A purple haired girl appeared directly in front of him.
The Han Family warriors stared in shock.
A young girl?!
But then
They saw the mighty purple wings behind her back.
She was a Dou Wang!
BOOM!
Zi Yan's tiny fist collided with Xia Mang's grotesque serpent head.
A moment later
CRASH!
Xia Mang's body smashed into the canyon wall, embedding itself two meters deep into the rock.
Silence.
No one spoke.
No one moved.
Han Xue simply stared, her mouth slightly open.
"…Just who are these people?"
