At Zhu Huai’s level, mastery of Daoist Skill had reached the pinnacle; there were no grandiose phenomena, all Primordial Qi was highly compressed, unleashing astonishing destructive power!

The lightning speed was simply too fast, and Ba Snake couldn’t react in time before it pierced into its eyes, and blood mixed with yellow and white fluid splattered like a torrential rain!

"Aooow!!"

The intense pain made the Ba Snake emit earth-shattering wails, its body struggling violently, randomly spraying green acidic liquid from its mouth, which emitted wisps of white smoke upon hitting the ice.

Seeing this Demon Beast temporarily unable to extricate itself, Zhu Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief, but dared not be complacent, and said to the other disciples: "This isn’t a place to linger, let’s leave here first and figure out a way to regroup with Qingxuan..."

Since they entered the Secret Realm, they were scattered to different places.

Zhu Huai landed directly in the core area, and was too far away from Ling Ningzhi to lock onto her location, having to find other disciples first, unexpectedly entering this swamp.

Then the world became abnormal, disorientation ensued, and everyone was trapped here unable to escape.

Next, the corpses of Demon Beasts started to "revive" one after another, and then, they encountered this Ba Snake.

Compared to other zombie-like Demon Beasts, this giant snake clearly retained its intelligence and had extremely terrifying strength, bolstered by this humid environment, it was nearly as formidable as her, a First Grade Grandmaster!

One wonders how many such Ancient Fierce Beasts dwell in this Secret Realm!

If Ling Ningzhi encountered similar circumstances, without anyone to guard her, then...

Thinking of this, Zhu Huai grew even more anxious, just preparing to lead them away when suddenly, a disciple’s startled shout reached her ears:

"Elder, look quickly!"

"Hmm?"

Zhu Huai turned her head to look, her pupils suddenly shrinking!

The Ba Snake that was trapped in the ice before was now only a shriveled skin, its flesh vanished without a trace!

"Where did it go?"

Zhu Huai scattered her Divine Sense but couldn’t detect any trace of the Demon Beast.

Just as she was puzzled, a chill ran down her back, her heart alarmed greatly, without a moment’s hesitation, she flicked her sleeves and carried everyone into the air.

Boom—

Almost instantly, accompanied by a deafening roar, the ice surface suddenly bulged upwards, then shattered with a bang, fragments of ice scattering like a rain of arrows.

A gaping bloodthirsty mouth broke through the ice layer, its jaws brimming with numerous sharp teeth glittering coldly, moving at lightning speed, swallowing them whole!

"Taiyi Protection!"

Zhu Huai cast her Daoist Skill, opening a protective shield, resisting the Ba Snake’s bites.

However, the Demon Beast’s biting force was astonishing, and its teeth continuously secreted acid, eroding the shield steadily, soon etched with cracks, about to shatter!

"This damn creature..."

Watching the terrified expressions of the disciples, Zhu Huai’s brow furrowed, her face livid.

If she were alone, she naturally had means to escape, but taking others along was proving challenging.

But as a Sect Elder, she couldn’t stand by and watch the disciples be devoured by the Demon Beast...

At that critical moment, a sound of breaking through the air came, a dazzling sword light passing through the sky, directly striking at the vital spot of the giant snake!

"Roar—"

The Ba Snake felt pain, instinctively loosening its grip.

Zhu Huai seized the opportunity and immediately led them to escape.

Seeing that figure suspended in the air, wielding a long sword, she couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.

"Chen Mo?"
