Peach Blossom Divine Medical God-Chapter 1832 - 1826: Tribulation of Lightning

If the serpent escapes, it would indeed be a great setback, but the problem isn’t too serious.

But his Stone-Cutting Sword is still stuck in the serpent’s back! Losing that would be a heavy blow.

So Chen Yang was determined not to let the creature get away.

"Hiss hiss... Damn it, you really are a bunch of pests!" The serpent sensed the danger behind it and dared not continue fleeing, quickly turning to confront Chen Yang and Ma Jiantao’s attacks.

Even though it had been worn down for a long time, its combat power was still ferocious. With a swing of its tail, it smashed Chen Yang’s Gathering Spirit Seal.

"Beast, stay here!"

Seeing his attack broken, Chen Yang did not intend to stop his assault.

Because the serpent was now only twenty or thirty meters away from the riverbank; if relaxed even slightly, it could escape into the river, which would be troublesome.

The Stone-Cutting Sword can now be considered a major asset to Chen Yang.

It absolutely cannot be lost like this.

What Chen Yang was thinking, Ma Jiantao naturally understood.

So he also chased after the serpent at the first moment, helping Chen Yang to encircle it.

The serpent truly had a violent temper; seeing Chen Yang and Ma Jiantao confronting it directly, it actually stopped trying to flee.

And got involved in a mixed battle with Chen Yang and Ma Jiantao.

But having been severely worn down and losing too much blood, how could it be a match for Chen Yang and Ma Jiantao?

After dozens of rounds of skirmishes, its body had several new wounds.

Almost all caused by Chen Yang’s Gathering Spirit Seal.

Though the wounds weren’t large, the issue didn’t seem too severe, but the bleeding wouldn’t stop.

In a short period, a large area of the land was stained with blood, nearly all the surrounding fields bore its blood marks!

The more it bled, the slower its reactions became.

Catching an opportunity, Chen Yang jumped close to its back.

Getting close to the back, Chen Yang grabbed hold of the Stone-Cutting Sword stuck in it!

Slice!

Chen Yang forcefully pulled it out, causing a large spray of fresh blood.

And the serpent let out a thunderous scream of pain!

After more than two hours of combat, the serpent had finally revealed its miserable state, becoming a spent force.

It would definitely no longer be a match for Chen Yang and Ma Jiantao.

"Cunning humans, despicable to the extreme! Remember what you’ve done today, I will repay you someday. From now on, neither side of the big river will see a peaceful day." The serpent spat venomous threats.

After saying this, it quickly turned and darted towards the river.

Being severely injured, it knew fighting further would be extremely dangerous for it.

But having fought this far, how could Chen Yang and Ma Jiantao watch it leave?

Wouldn’t that be letting the tiger return to the mountain?

"Trying to leave, can you still go now?" Ma Jiantao charged forward.

Chen Yang also chased up with the bloodied sword.

Because of the Stone-Cutting Sword, the serpent wasn’t able to forcefully escape.

If it didn’t defend, it would be pierced into a sieve from behind by Chen Yang.

But if it defended, it couldn’t flee!

A scant twenty meters became an unreachable distance.

"Ah!! You damn well should die."

The serpent was both angry and weak!

To avoid Chen Yang’s attack, it had to endure its frail body and turn to face them.

As it turned back, Ma Jiantao and Chen Yang quickly closed in, surrounding it front and back.

Now, it was utterly unable to return to the river.

The battle lasted another half an hour, it was now extremely weak, with several more wounds appearing on its body.

One of which was a large wound, pierced again by Chen Yang’s sword.

Blood flowed endlessly.

Rumble...

Meanwhile, the sky continued to flash with lightning, rain pouring down.

The serpent continuously let out painful howls, making the scene appear especially eerie and desolate.

Numerous blood stains covered the serpent’s body, its red eyes seemingly about to bleed!

"Beast, you’re already a spent force, why not surrender? Do you insist on blood being spilled before stopping?" Ma Jiantao saw the serpent’s harsh cultivation over hundreds of years wasn’t easy, sincerely unwilling to slay it.

But the serpent showed no appreciation.

Its violent air became even stronger! More ferocious!

"You despicable humans! I’ve cultivated for hundreds of years, encountering countless cultivators, yet never imagined I’d fall into your hands today!" The serpent spoke human words, its tone slightly weak.

"If you know what’s smart, your hundreds of years of cultivation won’t be wasted. But if you purposely harm others, then today will be your death!" Chen Yang pointed his sword at the serpent, speaking dominantly.

The serpent looked at Chen Yang.

Its gaze towards Chen Yang was filled with resentment.

If it weren’t for him, how could it end up in this situation?

This was the serpent’s internal monologue.

"Heh, today isn’t necessarily anyone’s death!" The serpent let out a strange laugh.

Then, without waiting for Chen Yang and Ma Jiantao to react, it suddenly stood straight, spitting out a fist-sized pearl emitting a white-blue glow towards the sky.

Lightning continued to rumble in the sky.

And as soon as this pearl left the serpent’s body, it was seemingly drawn by some force, quickly charging towards the sky.

Rumble...

As the pearl rose to the sky, the lightning in the sky seemed to be enraged, becoming incredibly tumultuous.

The thunderous sound became incessant, and numerous lightning bolts converged and struck, illuminating the surroundings as if it were midday.

The sky above, filled with lightning, seemed on the verge of shattering!

The scene was unimaginably terrifying.

Chen Yang had never seen such ferocious lightning and rain, as if the world was ending!

"It’s over, not good! This creature wants to forcefully transform into a dragon! It’s going to transcend the Qi Refinement Realm by braving the thunder tribulation." Ma Jiantao was also shocked by the sudden scene.

But he was experienced and quickly reacted, knowing the current situation matched the ancient texts! Enduring the thunder tribulation!

"Enduring the thunder tribulation?"

Chen Yang was also startled!

Though he’d never seen such records, the saying was prevalent in rural areas.

It was said when a serpent grows to a certain stage, it chooses thunderstorm weather to accept lightning baptism.

If successful, it would transform into a dragon! If not, it would perish!

No one expected the serpent to be unyielding unto death.

For victory, it dared to risk it all and chose to transcend at such a critical moment?

If it succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Yes, it’s taking a risk!" Ma Jiantao furrowed his brows, his thoughts tense!

If the serpent truly succeeded in transforming into a dragon, it would be problematic.

Surpassing the Qi Refinement Realm stage, who would be able to slay it?

With the serpent’s monstrous aura, there would likely be no peaceful days along both sides of the big river!

"You wait! Once I succeed in this tribulation, I will tear you apart!" The serpent hoarsely growled, then shot straight upwards, charging towards heaven to endure the tribulation!

Seeing this, Chen Yang’s mood also became tense.

He instinctively wanted to rise and stop the serpent from enduring the tribulation!

But he was held back by Ma Jiantao.
