My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 380 - 60: Double-headed Black-winged Snake, Die! [First Update]
Looking at his blood-soaked arm, Mu Chen’s face was calm. He took a bottle of healing powder from the Qiankun Ring and sprinkled it over his arm. It was a specially crafted powder for treating wounds, with exceptional effectiveness. After application, the bleeding stopped immediately, and some less severe areas even began to scab over.
Satisfied with this, he shifted his gaze, popped a healing elixir and a cultivation-recovery elixir into his mouth, retrieved the Red Flame Spear, and charged again at the Double-headed Black-winged Snake.
The Double-headed Black-winged Snake was displeased that Mu Chen was only injured in the arm, and as Mu Chen charged toward it, it opened its massive mouth, aiming to bite him.
As Mu Chen neared the Double-headed Black-winged Snake, he suddenly pivoted, changing direction. Using his foot, he stepped on the snake’s head, jumping onto its back.
The wound he had inflicted earlier was still bleeding. Mu Chen glanced at it, put away his Red Flame Spear, and produced a Jade Bottle. Quickly removing the stopper, he sprinkled the black powder onto the Double-headed Black-winged Snake’s wound before it could react, leaving no part untouched from head to tail.
The black powder had a corrosive effect, and once sprinkled on the snake’s wounds, they doubled in size. Almost the snake’s entire back was rotten, with blood flowing everywhere.
Feeling the pain in its back, the Double-headed Black-winged Snake went berserk, filled with hatred for Mu Chen. It turned its head at lightning speed, approaching Mu Chen, who, slowed by his injuries, couldn’t dodge in time and was once more knocked back by the snake.
This time, he couldn’t stabilize his body, crashing directly into a large tree, spitting out blood as he landed heavily on the ground, coughing up another mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.
He felt as though his internal organs had been displaced, every inch of him screaming in pain, each organ threatening to give out. But he couldn’t succumb because the Double-headed Black-winged Snake was still alive; if he didn’t stand up and fight, it would mean his death!
Thinking this, he retrieved the Red Flame Spear, supported himself with it, struggled to stand up, gasped for a moment, swallowed an elixir, feeling the burning inside lessen, then turned his gaze back to the Double-headed Black-winged Snake.
Even though the Double-headed Black-winged Snake had launched an attack, injuring Mu Chen, its condition wasn’t much better.
The powder Mu Chen used was truly formidable. Its back was a mess of flesh and scales, shedding all over, unable to stop the bleeding. Without timely treatment, it would likely bleed to death!
Unwilling to relent, it glanced at Mu Chen, turned to retreat to the lake to consume the Liuli Lotus, which had healing properties for it.
Mu Chen knew this too. Seeing the snake heading toward the lake, he grew anxious, abandoning concern for his own injuries, gripping the Red Flame Spear, charging forward. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
The Double-headed Black-winged Snake held a deep grudge against Mu Chen by now. Upon realizing that Mu Chen intended to prevent it from reaching the lake, it became furious, both heads opening widely, lunging at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen blocked the left head with a sweep of the spear, kicking the right one, then spun around and thrust his spear into one of the snake’s eyes. At such close range, with his swift movements, and the snake’s slower reactions, its left head’s eye was pierced through, blood spurting and splattering across Mu Chen’s face.
Mu Chen blinked, twirled the Red Flame Spear, and yanked it out before jumping away as the other head attempted to bite him.
The Double-headed Black-winged Snake bit the air, immediately redirecting itself, pursuing Mu Chen.
Mu Chen landed on a nearby tree branch, but a sudden dizziness hit him, staggering his step. Quickly stabilizing himself, he massaged his temples as his body signaled rebellion, his expression remained chillingly cold, as though his body’s vulnerability was nonexistent.
When the Double-headed Black-winged Snake attacked, Mu Chen swiftly changed positions, feinted, reappearing in front of the snake, then fiercely thrust his spear, blinding the other eye of its left head.
He forcefully withdrew the spear and, as the other head lunged, he launched himself onto a distant tree with a strong push of his foot.
"Red Flame·Flame Spear!"
With a low shout, the front of the Red Flame Spear began emitting a red glow. In an instant, the entire spear was engulfed by flames. As the owner of the Red Flame Spear, the flames couldn’t harm him, leaving him unharmed.
Wielding the Red Flame Spear, Mu Chen executed a sweep, sending a surge of fiery red flames toward the Double-headed Black-winged Snake’s blinded head.
His eyes glowed with red flames, a fiery red rune crawling half across his left cheek, giving him a sinister allure.
"Thunk!"
The left head of the Double-headed Black-winged Snake was severed by the fiery assault from the Red Flame Spear, falling to the ground, its blood pouring furiously from the stump.
The intense pain made the Double-headed Black-winged Snake unable to resist writhing its body, trying to alleviate the pain, but it was in vain; instead, it accelerated the blood flow.
The wounds on its head and back were bleeding rapidly, and in no time, the Double-headed Black-winged Snake’s movements slowed, its other raised head dropping directly to the ground, stirring up dust, its body twitching a few times before it went still.
Mu Chen’s situation was also dire at this moment; his immortal power was nearly exhausted, his meridians were injured from overuse of immortal power, and the injuries to his internal organs made his vision go dark. If not for his strong willpower, he would have collapsed by now.
He waited for a while, seeing that the Double-headed Black-winged Snake’s body was motionless. After some thought, he took out a talisman and threw it forcefully towards the Double-headed Black-winged Snake. The talisman exploded on the snake’s body, causing it to twitch once, but there was no other reaction.
Confirming that the Double-headed Black-winged Snake was indeed dead, Mu Chen let out a sigh of relief, his tense heart finally easing a bit.
Because of this, his vision went black, his body swayed, and he fell from the tree.
He thought to himself that this must be the end, thinking he might end up here. Unfortunately, he hadn’t found Gu Qingqing yet, nor had he obtained the Liuli Lotus. What a pity for his Liuli Lotus!
Before completely descending into darkness, he saw a familiar face and was startled, wanting to speak, but he directly passed out, losing consciousness.
...
Nan Hua walked for a day and finally, at midnight, emerged from the grassland, reaching the place where the grassland met the dense forest. This journey had been extremely arduous for him. After the Wind Wolf, he encountered three more spirit beast attacks, one of which was a low-level True Immortal Realm spirit beast, the Four-winged Cloud Hawk. Luckily, his Array cultivation was adequate, and he had mastered many new Arrays, with plenty of Array Plates stored on him, allowing him to reach this place unscathed.
Since it was late, entering the dense forest wasn’t convenient, so he found a big tree and spent the night on its branches, entering the forest only the next morning.
It must be said, the resources in the forest were much richer than on the grassland. Shortly after entering, he encountered the herbs needed for the sect’s mission, the Three-petal Lily and the Purple Ling Grass. And these were not just a single plant but more than twenty. He quickly picked some and put them into his storage ring.
Feeling finally a bit consoled, he continued walking into the forest.
After walking for a while, he heard the sound of flowing water. Feeling a bit tired, he walked forward and saw a river, feeling delighted in his heart. He quickly went to the riverbank and washed his hands and face thoroughly, feeling much refreshed and in better spirits.
He rested by the river for a while before getting up to leave.
Heading east for about another quarter of an hour, he heard fighting voices and the sounds of spirit beasts, hesitating for a moment, then ran towards the sounds.
As he approached, he hid himself first, then looked down from the tree, discovering a person and a True Immortal Middle Stage spirit beast, the Long-armed Spirit Ape, fighting.
The person was wearing a Langya Immortal Sect disciple robe, and it was purple. In the past ten years, Immortal Venerable Hao Lan had only accepted one disciple, Gu Qingqing, so this disciple could only be the Peak Master’s direct disciple.
While Nan Hua was guessing in his heart who the opponent was, the person happened to turn around, facing Nan Hua, making Nan Hua see his appearance clearly, and a trace of surprise flashed in Nan Hua’s eyes.
This person was actually Ye Tingwen from the Ye Family!
Since they joined the Langya Immortal Sect, because they were under different Peak Masters, although they had some classes together, their social circles were different. Nan Hua and Ye Tingwen hadn’t had a proper conversation for some time, and he was somewhat surprised to see Ye Tingwen now.
Ye Tingwen had not yet advanced to the True Immortal Realm, so facing a True Immortal Middle Stage Long-armed Spirit Ape, he had no chance of winning.
When Nan Hua arrived, Ye Tingwen was being overwhelmed by the Long-armed Spirit Ape, already having multiple wounds on his body, even with a cut on his face, bleeding.
This was the first time Nan Hua had seen Ye Tingwen in a fight, and he found that Ye Tingwen had some skills. Despite being at a disadvantage, he did not give up, constantly seeking ways to defeat the Long-armed Spirit Ape. This was evident from how several times his sword managed to wound the Long-armed Spirit Ape’s shoulder.
He didn’t rush out recklessly. He could see that Ye Tingwen was at the critical juncture for advancing to the True Immortal Realm, and perhaps the Long-armed Spirit Ape was Ye Tingwen’s opportunity for advancement. With the pressure from the Long-armed Spirit Ape, Ye Tingwen might turn pressure into motivation, breaking through to the True Immortal Realm.
Anyway, he was right there watching, so even if Ye Tingwen really couldn’t hold on, he could still save Ye Tingwen.
Thinking this, he directly sat cross-legged on the branch, watching Ye Tingwen and the Long-armed Spirit Ape fight with a calm demeanor.
