Peach Blossom Divine Medical God-Chapter 1829 - 1823: It’s Here

Rumble...

The sky was still pouring rain, but fortunately, the ambush hole they had dug was sheltered from it.

"It’s already midnight, why is there still no sign of anything? Maybe it’s not coming," Lisa glanced at her watch, expressing her concern.

Chen Yang had enough patience.

"It should come out. Weather like this is the perfect opportunity for it; it shouldn’t let it slip by," Chen Yang replied.

"Hopefully."

Lisa nodded, saying nothing more, and watched the situation outside through the pre-prepared observation port.

The rain outside was relentless.

Not only did it show no sign of stopping, but it also intensified.

So much rainwater was accumulating in the small river that the previously narrow river channel became turbulent.

About twenty minutes passed. Suddenly, a splashing sound came from the direction of the river.

Upon hearing the sound, one could immediately tell it wasn’t natural; something had touched the water’s surface.

Upon hearing this sound, Chen Yang and Lisa immediately became alert and looked towards the river.

In the darkness of the night, the already roaring river suddenly surged with massive waves!

Amidst the rushing waves, a shadow as thick as a barrel thrashed back and forth in the water.

"Hiss! It’s here!"

Seeing the shadow, Lisa gasped! She had never seen such a large snake before.

"Shh!" Chen Yang immediately signaled for silence, "Lower your voice. Snakes are very alert creatures, and if it senses something amiss, it might not come ashore."

"Okay."

Chen Yang’s reminder brought Lisa back to her senses!

The shadow in the water thrashed for about a minute before finally coming ashore.

Once it emerged from the river, Chen Yang and the others could finally see it clearly!

Its thick body was even more robust than an adult human’s torso!

Its eyes were like two red lanterns in the night, blood-red and bright.

Its body color blended seamlessly with the night! Only when lightning streaked across the night sky was the skin that resembled black steel visible...

Hiss... Hiss... Hiss...

After coming ashore, the giant snake seemed unaware of any surroundings as it slithered straight towards the village.

Its speed was neither fast nor slow!

The distance between Chen Yang and Lisa’s position and the river was at least forty to fifty meters, yet within a few mere breaths, the snake was nearly upon them.

"What’s that on its head?"

As the distance closed, the snake’s appearance became clearer!

On its black head were two prominent pink protuberances! Strikingly conspicuous.

Upon seeing this, a rural legend suddenly surfaced in Chen Yang’s mind.

A snake cultivates for five hundred years to become a flood dragon, another five hundred to become a dragon.

This creature, with its massive size and pronounced forehead bumps, could it be nearing its dragon transformation?

Seeing this, both Chen Yang and Lisa felt a jolt of alarm.

A spiritual beast of such caliber wouldn’t be easy to handle.

Bang!

While Chen Yang and Lisa were still in shock, Ma Jiantao, Zhang Wenyan, and Ao Mingzheng, who were lying in ambush not far away, suddenly burst out as planned, blocking the giant snake’s path!

"Chen Yang, Director Ma and the others have moved," Lisa promptly reminded.

"Then let’s go." Since they had drawn the bow, there was no turning back now.

Chen Yang decisively charged forward with Lisa, and the five of them instantly formed a circle, trapping the giant snake at the center.

"Director Ma, this creature is already a flood dragon. We mustn’t be careless," Lisa warned loudly.

Ma Jiantao, Zhang Wenyan, and Ao Mingzheng evidently hadn’t noticed this detail until Lisa’s reminder.

Discovering it to be true, seeing two red bumps on the snake’s forehead!

"It really is a flood dragon!"

Director Ma was equally astonished upon seeing this.

Hiss... Hiss...

At this moment, the snake reared back half of its body, the front half rising into the air, at least four or five meters tall, a true behemoth.

"A cultivator? Haha, I’ve been lacking food lately; how fortuitous that prey comes to me willingly!"

Not waiting for Director Ma and the others to speak, the snake spoke first!

Its voice was intrusively magical, chilling listeners to the bone!

"Speaking the human tongue? Late Qi Cultivation stage!" Director Ma was once again shocked!

Previously, judging by its size, he gauged its cultivation to be high, but never expected it to reach this level!

"Late Qi Cultivation stage?"

Director Ma’s words equally stunned Lisa, Zhang Wenyan, and Ao Mingzheng.

They had accompanied Director Ma on many missions and faced various challenges.

The toughest had been a giant elephant at the early Qi Cultivation stage, a harrowing ordeal. But this giant snake is at the late Qi Cultivation stage?

How could they possibly be a match!

The three were utterly shocked.

It wasn’t cowardice; the difference in their powers was insurmountable.

"Looks like we’ve hit a tough nail today. Lisa, Wenyan, Mingzheng, you three back off twenty meters first; Chen Yang and I will handle it." Realizing the formidable challenge the snake posed, Director Ma immediately instructed them to retreat to avoid a confrontation.

At the late Qi Cultivation stage, it’s currently a top-tier power level in the cultivation world.

A spiritual beast with such combat prowess is not to be trifled with.

"Yes, Director."

Lisa and the others understood the disparity between them and the giant snake; remaining would only burden the others, better to retreat for now, allowing Director Ma and Chen Yang to focus.

"Heh heh heh... Run? Can you really escape? Dare to block my path, you all will die today." The giant snake’s red eyes flared even more! Its voice sent shivers down spines.

"Friend, you’ve cultivated diligently for hundreds of years. Is it worth tainting yourself with blood just before your awaited transcendence? Why not retreat and avoid troubling the innocent villagers? We could let this matter be," Ma Jiantao suggested, sensing the formidable power in the giant snake but still opting for negotiation.

He hoped for a peaceful resolution.

However, it was clear the snake would not comply.

By now, its target wasn’t just the villagers’ livestock, but also Ma Jiantao and the rest!

"Hahaha, such nonsense. How dare a few youngsters speak so arrogantly? To me, you’re already my delicious meal!" The giant snake spat its tongue, hissing menacingly.

Amidst the thunderstorm, the scene was eerily unpredictable.

"So there’s no alternative but to fight?" Ma Jiantao wasn’t one to tolerate nonsense for long, and seeing negotiations failing, his demeanor became icy.

The giant snake made no verbal reply but lunged aggressively towards Ma Jiantao!

Its actions spoke volumes!

"Wretched creature, all these years of cultivation have been wasted on you." Unfazed, Ma Jiantao responded calmly.

His presence erupted! A powerful Qi Cultivation aura emanated from him.

At minimum, Ma Jiantao was at mid-Qi Cultivation! The exact level couldn’t be discerned.

Immediately, Ma Jiantao harnessed his Spiritual Energy to grapple with the giant snake, surprisingly managing a stalemate in the short term.
