Suddenly, a red symbol slowly appeared on the forehead of the leftmost red head, and it seemed to be a symbol of their race.

Just watch.

The red symbol instantly blossomed with intense red light, and for a moment, it covered the entire valley, making it difficult to see the things before one’s eyes.

However, Xu Ran’s eyes, always attached with Innate Qi, were not affected at all, and he could clearly see everything happening within the red mist.

The ten snake heads, enough to leave one astonished, fused into one in an instant, while the scattered red mist in the valley began to converge toward the Snake Demon, covering its body of several hundred meters.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A sound of metal clashing rang out, as if someone was forging iron or crafting within the red mist, with each sound seeming to spark like fireflies in the darkness, extremely conspicuous.

"Clang clang clang!"

As these metallic sounds rang faster and faster, it seemed as if tens of thousands were forging within, and the originally flickering sparks now erupted like a wildfire, becoming increasingly fierce.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a mysterious wind arose in the valley, blowing away the red mist that enveloped the Snake Demon, revealing its form to everyone.

Just watch.

The serpent head, originally having ten heads, now transformed into one, and the whole body appeared iron green, as if cast from steel, extremely sturdy, with the massive snake tail dragging on the ground, raising sparks and leaving a path several meters deep...

Xu Ran, seeing the Snake Demon undergoing such drastic changes in an instant, immediately became alert.

After all, in this mysterious valley, anything could happen, and having gone through so much already, the creatures appearing here only grew stronger, so one couldn’t relax even for a moment.

Xu Ran was unwilling to show weakness.

Innate Qi surged out from within, forming a white light veil behind him, his body seeming to be baptized, a thin mist enveloping his surface, resembling an immaculate form that nothing foul could approach.

"Hiss!"

Suddenly.

The Snake Demon, now entirely iron green, streaked a green Lightning across the sky, and its steel-like tail rapidly came before Xu Ran, carrying a gust capable of destroying an entire mountain, smashing toward his small body.

Instantly.

Xu Ran felt the air around him being drained, unable to breathe, realizing the massive snake tail, with endless pressure, was right before his eyes.

"Buzz!"

The membrane on Xu Ran’s body surface emitted a ’buzzing’ sound, instantly the air drained by the immense pressure returned, allowing Xu Ran to move due to the Innate Qi.

Even as he realized the gigantic snake tail, tens of meters long, was approaching him, he stood frozen, not moving an inch, seemingly scared senseless.

The iron green Snake Demon, seeing Xu Ran frozen in place, the originally expressionless serpentine mouth curled upward, and its iron green eyes revealed a hint of ridicule.

It probably never imagined that someone who had passed numerous trials would be seemingly ended by such a simple strike.

This feeling was tremendously exhilarating.

Just watch.

The massive snake tail was about to slam into Xu Ran’s face, as if time in the valley paused, the wind stopped blowing, as if the entire world was giving Xu Ran one last moment to take a look at this world.

The Peregrine Falcon, sent by Xu Ran to the safe zone, lost its soul, but at that moment, cold sweat dripped from its forehead, its eyes somehow turned toward Xu Ran.

Probably, even if the Peregrine Falcon lost its soul and only had its physical body, the thing it cares about most in this world is its master, Xu Ran.

As the colossal snake tail was mere millimeters from Xu Ran’s young body.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze arose, and a voice filled with inexplicable confidence echoed through the valley.

"You want to kill me? Still too early..."

The Snake Demon heard this voice, and its originally slightly raised mouth instantly fell, looking around to find where the voice came from.

In its assumption, Xu Ran should already be crushed into pulp by the massive snake tail, impossible to have time to say such words.

Regarding the snake tail, with its immense inertia, it could accurately strike Xu Ran’s face even without further action.

But in the next moment.

A great drag force came from the snake tail, as if someone had abruptly pulled the Snake Demon’s body backwards, and the hard snake tail suddenly felt excruciating pain, as if tightly pinched.

Instantly.

The Snake Demon’s view spun as its iron green scales scraped the ground, sparks flying, accompanied by ’clang clang clang’ sounds.

Although the spinning feeling made the Snake Demon somewhat uncomfortable, being a Snake Demon allowed it to quickly adapt.

Immediately, it looked toward the direction of its tail.

Just watch.

In the tiny, tender hands merely centimeters large, surprisingly grasping a snake tail several tens of meters thick, which was like steel, a part of its surface sunk in, showing its mighty grip.

Xu Ran’s young hands, enveloped with Innate Qi, grasped the massive snake tail, repeatedly turning circles on the ground, Innate Qi silently entered the Snake Demon’s body.

Finally, he swung it fiercely toward the mountain peak.

"Boom!"

Instantly.

The giant Snake Demon, hundreds of meters long, was violently slammed into a mountain peak, embedding within.

As the Snake Demon’s body contacted the peak, its originally iron green body reverted to red, and the head transformed back to having ten.

However, the head initially emitting the serpentine mark now had closed eyes, no longer showing any ferocity, resembling a wilted eggplant.

As the red Snake Demon reappeared, red mist again filled the valley.

Xu Ran’s small form floated in the air, calmly watching the Snake Demon embedded in the mountain, his eyes displaying no emotion, as if he was doing something ordinary.

The Snake Demon, having just turned back red, the other nine heads, seeing Xu Ran’s demeanor, immediately filled with burning rage.

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

Nine long snake tongues constantly spat from their mouths, piercing hisses echoed in the valley, urgent and resentful, each breath exhibited hatred toward Xu Ran.

These sounds seemed disorganized to Xu Ran, serving only to pollute the ears, with no other purpose.

"Shut up!"

A shout laden with Innate Qi suddenly surged from Xu Ran’s mouth, an invisible white aura spread through the valley, dispelling the almost tangible red mist it encountered.

While the nine snake heads ceaselessly hissing, heard the shout and fell silent, as if heeding Xu Ran’s words, moreover, their internal red mist was suppressed, preventing the endlessly dispersing mist from escaping, forcibly pushing back into their bodies.

Instantly, their already bright red bodies became even more vivid, and the nine enormous snake heads turned completely red, uncertain whether from holding back or originally.
