Chapter 388: Chapter 384: At Most Pseudo Demon King Level

"I promise, I’ll take you to see Yu Zitong one last time. After that, you won’t belong to him anymore. You’ll belong to me."

Tu Xiao’an’s eyes burned with intensity. A confident smile on his face, he reached out again and patted its little head. This time, it didn’t shy away.

"Haha... It’s time to go deal with that old hag. I’ll help you vent some of that anger, too."

Having placated the Golden Pupils, Tu Xiao’an walked toward the courtyard. The place was a complete wreck. The ground was uneven, sand and stones flew through the air, and waves of violent power ravaged the area. A bleak, murderous aura filled the world.

The battle had grown more and more intense. The Bull Demon King had entered his combat state, transforming into a three-meter-tall Bull Race creature. He was tough and thick-skinned, his entire body radiating explosive, terrifying power. With an Iron Rod in hand, he swept a torrent of afterimages through the air, causing the space around him to crackle with sonic booms.

Celestial Master Zhang had also revealed his true form. A massive, towering Snake Flood Dragon writhed in the air, its black Demon Qi growing wilder and more unrestrained. As its body twisted, the fallout from its movements spread in all directions, ripping open large fissures in space as fierce gales howled.

But the beautiful Snake Demon was even more terrifying. Resembling the legendary Nuwa, she had transformed to have a human head and a snake’s body. The space around her was in a constant state of chaos. Her glittering, golden lower half struck with unstoppable force, its coiling tail continuously knocking back both the Bull Demon King and the Snake Flood Dragon.

The current situation was a two-pronged pincer attack, with the Snake Flood Dragon above and the Bull Demon King below. Yet, they were both being stymied by a single snake tail that could lengthen and shorten, grow and shrink at will.

Tu Xiao’an glanced over and was secretly alarmed. The Bull Demon King and Celestial Master Zhang were fighting with all their might, yet they had only managed to force the beautiful woman into her half-human, half-snake form.

She hadn’t revealed her true snake form.

’When you’ve been beautiful for so long, do you never want to go back to your ugly former self?’

’Or is it that the Bull Demon King and Celestial Master Zhang are only worthy of her fighting in this form?’

Tu Xiao’an studied the woman’s human-headed, snake-bodied appearance, focusing on her lower half. The Snake Scales were a glittering gold, as if forged from the precious metal itself, like she was clad in Golden Battle Armor.

The appearance of this snake body was remarkably similar to a Golden Silkworm Gu Snake.

Suddenly, Tu Xiao’an sucked in a sharp breath. He had previously deduced that the Bai Family must have an adult Golden Silkworm Gu Snake. And given the potential of a Golden Silkworm Gu Snake, it was highly likely to be at the Rank Three Level upon reaching adulthood.

Now, this Grand-aunt of the Bai Family was a Snake Demon with a glittering golden lower body. Could she be the very adult Golden Silkworm Gu Snake he had theorized about?

Tu Xiao’an blinked, staring blankly as the beautiful half-human, half-snake woman wreaked havoc. With a sweep of her tail, no one could get near her.

The cold, sinister aura she exuded gave even Tu Xiao’an a faint sense of heart-pounding dread.

’What the hell? Could it really be that bizarre? She’s the adult Golden Silkworm Gu Snake?’

’Strange things happen every year, but this year’s been packed with them.’

Tu Xiao’an’s worldview was shattered once again, completely fried by the shocking reality.

"Master, what are you standing around watching for? We can’t handle her!"

The Bull Demon King was caught off guard and sent flying by a whip of her tail. After crashing hard into the ground, he noticed Tu Xiao’an just standing on the sidelines, blinking and watching the show.

He couldn’t believe how oblivious his master was.

"Keep it up! Believe in yourself! You can do it!"

The Bull Demon King was baffled. ’Believe in what? That Snake Demon is at the Demon King Level! You think she’s some common cabbage you can just pick up?’

The gloom in his heart expanded infinitely.

The gloom in Celestial Master Zhang’s heart, in his Snake Flood Dragon form, was even greater. He had run into another incomparably powerful Snake Demon. As a Snake-Transformed Flood Dragon, he felt like he had no advantage whatsoever. Once again, he was losing to a snake.

A mere Snake Spirit, not yet having achieved its Dao, had been able to subdue his Rank Three Snake Flood Dragon form, and now this Snake Demon was already at the Demon King Level.

’If I had known being a snake was so promising these days, I never would have gone through the Flood Dragon Transformation.’

ROAR!

Before Tu Xiao’an could even make a move, a tiger’s roar shot into the sky from within the courtyard. The fur on the Golden Pupils beside him stood on end, its eyes full of vicious light as it stared at the human-headed Snake Demon.

"You stay on the sidelines and watch. Otherwise, I’m not taking you to see Yu Zitong."

Lines of exasperation appeared on Tu Xiao’an’s face. ’Doesn’t this cat have any self-awareness? A battle of this Level... is this something a Rank Two Spirit Monster like you can join?’

’It truly fears nothing in heaven or on earth.’

"Thunder, come!"

After warning the Golden Pupils not to move, Tu Xiao’an leaped into the battlefield. With a wave of his hand, a bolt of Thunder descended from above the beautiful woman, striking down in a flash of white light.

"Little Snake Spirit, you’ve finally decided to act."

The beautiful woman looked like Nuwa, but she lacked any sense of divinity. Instead, her Demon Qi blotted out the sky. Facing the Thunder above, she didn’t even have the inclination to dodge. Her body simply trembled, and as the lightning struck, it magically vanished.

"You three, daring to come to the Bai Family... none of you will be leaving tonight. You can stay and keep this old grand-auntie company."

The beautiful woman rose into the air. Her glittering golden snake tail looked exceptionally demonic, and the aura around her was deeply unsettling.

"Everyone, use your full strength! Don’t let this old Demon underestimate us!" Three phenomena manifested around Tu Xiao’an simultaneously: crackling Thunder, boiling Flame, and Frost that made the air feel like thin ice.

The three Elemental Attribute Abilities unleashed their maximum power, surging toward the beautiful woman like a world-ending tide.

Celestial Master Zhang roared, his black Demon Qi surging forward to Devour her. The Bull Demon King’s presence was overwhelming as he smashed his rod down with Heaven Shocking Power.

The entire courtyard began to shake endlessly. All sorts of phenomena appeared as explosions rocked the air. Facing the assault of three powerful forces, the beautiful woman’s expression finally changed. Not daring to be careless, she swept her snake tail while striking out repeatedly with her palms, conjuring sinister winds that stirred up monstrous waves of energy.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

It was three against one. Attacks flew back and forth. All were Rank Three combatants, with one at the Demon King Level. The fight was a fiery, chaotic affair.

Tu Xiao’an didn’t engage in close combat, attacking from a distance instead. He was happily busy, unleashing one bolt of Thunder after another, followed by blasts of Flame.

Celestial Master Zhang and the Bull Demon King were constantly sent flying, sustaining considerable injuries. Fortunately, their physical bodies were extremely tough, so they were not seriously harmed and could continue fighting.

And as the battle raged on...

The beautiful, human-headed snake woman began to look ragged. Her lovely face was now contorted with rage, her pupils tinged red with bloodlust. The viciousness of her snake nature was on full display as she bared sharp fangs, looking desperate to bite someone.

After one combined attack, the beautiful woman shrieked and vanished. In her place, a gigantic, glittering golden python appeared in the air.

The true form of an adult Golden Silkworm Gu Snake.

’No, it’s not at the Demon King Level. At best, it’s in the Pseudo Snake King Realm.’

Although Tu Xiao’an had joined the battle, he hadn’t truly used his full strength, merely coordinating with the attacks of Celestial Master Zhang and the Bull Demon King.

’She was forced into her true form just from this?’

"This grand-auntie hasn’t revealed her true form in over a hundred years! You’re quite capable... but you will all die! This grand-auntie is going to swallow you whole!"

A voice that sounded like both a grievance and a sob rang out sharply in the courtyard. It was hoarse and savage; though it spoke human words, it didn’t sound human at all.

This Golden Silkworm Gu Snake was incredibly dazzling, displaying an incomparably powerful aura sufficient to overwhelm anything in its path.
