Can't Afford to Offend My Scheming Disciple

38. Poisoned by the Serpent Venom I

Translator: Alanese Fantasy

With the tail injured, the Red-White Serpent King became weaker, so its moves slowed down.

It resentfully stared at Zhuo Hua and Nan Chen.

‘Damn humans, why! Why must you always get in the way?’

The Serpent King raised its head, wanting to roar to vent its anger. However, its throat was badly hurt by the Dark-Jade Sword, a lot of blood gurgling up from its mouth.

The Serpent King fought back the pain on its tail and dashed to attack Zhuo Hua with all its strength.

The pressure borne by Zhuo Hua immediately increased. He had to block the attack of the Serpent King while suffering from the pain from his Sense Ocean. He would have already be swallowed by the Serpent King if it was not heavily injured.

Under such a circumstance, both sides would be hurt seriously.

The Serpent King also clearly knew it. Suddenly, out of the corner of its eye, the serpent saw Nan Chen lying on the ground, and it got an idea right away.

The serpent raised its tail and aimed at Nan Chen. Zhuo Hua immediately flickered to the front of Nan Chen, preparing to block its attack.

However, the Serpent King was about to bite Zhuo Hua at the same time.

The Serpent King wanted to see which attack the man would like to block. If Zhuo Hua was to block the tail, then he would be swallowed by the serpent, otherwise Nan Chen would die.

One of the two human beings was doomed to die and be the food of the serpent. The serpent was so pleased by thinking of this. ‘How smart I am!’

Looking at the tail, which was about to impale him, Nan Chen actually had the strength to avoid it, but when he noticed that Zhuo Hua was in a dilemma, he just didn’t want to move at all.

Nan Chen intended to see what would be discarded by Zhuo Hua at such a critical juncture. Would it be his own life or a superior cauldron?

Nevertheless, a normal person would always discard a cauldron, right? There were many cauldrons in the Cultivation World, while people could only live once.

Thinking of this, Nan Chen prepared to take effort to avoid the serpent’s attack. After all, he didn’t want to die here without successfully taking the revenge.

To his surprise, Nan Chen widened his eyes the next moment.

Tick… tock…

Drops of blood fell on the ground.

Zhuo Hua blocked the attack of the Serpent King’s tail with the Dark-Jade Sword in one hand, and was bitten by the serpent on the other side of shoulder.

Zhuo Hua turned his hand and pierced the Dark-Jade Sword with all his strength into the wound on the serpent’s tail.

Then he silently wielded his spiritual power. The Dark-Jade Sword which had penetrated the Serpent King fiercely began to rotate, mashing its flesh around.

The Red-White Serpent King let go of Zhuo Hua’s shoulder. It drew back with the shivering severed tail. The broken tail on the ground was squirming as well constantly.

The Serpent King stared at the two people in resentment. Its tail was cut into half, so half of its spiritual power would be lost. On the other hand, its venom changed these days, so the venom would not be strong enough to kill people. Thus, the venom  still took a period of time to take into effect. In this case, it might be no match for these two at the moment.

It thought it over and started to slowly retreat. The Serpent King took the broken tail on the ground in its mouth and quickly fled.

When the Serpent King left, Zhuo Hua was tottering. Apart from the wound on his shoulder, he had no other injuries. It was the sharp pain from his Sense Ocean that almost overwhelmed him. He was a mighty person of Tribulation Passage, and the pain was so unbearable for him to suppress his cultivation to Gold Formation period.

Zhuo Hua slightly bit his tongue. ‘I can’t collapse here now.’

He went up to Nan Chen, bent down and got Nan Chen up from the ground.

Nan Chen just looked him in surprise right away, “Master, how did you come here? And your shoulder… Are you okay?”

“I’m good. Let’s talk after we get out of there.” Zhuo Hua said and headed to the exit to the mystery land while supporting Nan Chen.

Zhuo Hua felt something snagged his feet when he took the first step.

He lowered his head and surprisingly looked at the creature near his feet, “Are you going with me?”

The tigon led him here was hugging his thigh, looking at Zhuo Hua with its liquid big eyes.
