Invincible Snake Emperor-Chapter 166 - 164: The Snake Demon is Eaten

Rabbits eat grass, tigers eat meat, scholars drink tea, and generals drink wine. Everyone acts according to their station in life.

But in the world of the Snake Race, it's not so complicated. The weak can only become food for the strong.

No matter how much you grow and evolve, you can never escape the law of the jungle.

The Snake Demon's pair of deep blue Snake Gaze stared fixedly at Tu Xiao'an, cold and sinister, as if it had locked onto its prey and was ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment.

It let out a raspy, mournful cry. "Gold and Silver Snake, if you're looking for death, I will grant you your wish."

This snake was naturally ferocious, so the two choices Tu Xiao'an offered were tantamount to a declaration of war.

It moved. Its slender, one-meter body stretched out endlessly, like a rubber band. In a flash, it began to spin rapidly around Tu Xiao'an.

Hm?

Tu Xiao'an opened his eyes and watched, slightly surprised. The Snake Demon's body had coiled around him, binding him like a rope and locking him in place.

"My power is beyond your imagination. After I eat you, my Cultivation will soar as well."

With its first move a success, the Snake Demon stretched its neck out and looked down condescendingly at the Gold and Silver Snake, which it had wrapped up tight.

'This is a little interesting.'

After a moment of surprise, Tu Xiao'an's Snake Gaze brightened. He hadn't expected the Snake Demon to possess such a Divine Technique; its body didn't grow larger, but could instead extend infinitely.

Whether it was the Mutated Chicken Crowned Snake or the Ancient Snake Spirit, they both possessed size-shifting Divine Techniques, but neither could stretch their bodies endlessly like the Snake Demon.

With his body bound, Tu Xiao'an wasn't the least bit panicked. He looked calmly at the Snake Demon. "Are you sure you can hold me?"

He scoffed, a trace of contempt in his Snake Gaze.

"Grow!"

BOOM...

The trapped Gold and Silver Snake's body instantly swelled to five meters. Wrapped around Tu Xiao'an, the Snake Demon's body was stretched even thinner, as if it were about to snap.

"No creature I bind has ever escaped alive." The Snake Demon was incredibly arrogant. To it, Tu Xiao'an was already a meal on its plate, ready to be devoured.

"Is that so? Grow again..."

BOOM...

The Gold and Silver Snake's body reached ten meters, and the serpentine coils binding it were simultaneously stretched to twice their length.

If it snapped, the Snake Demon would die instantly.

Hm?

'Your body really is tough. Let's see if you snap.' A playful glint flickered in Tu Xiao'an's bewitching eyes as his body instantly swelled to its maximum size of eighteen meters.

The Snake Demon's body was stretched to the point of deformation, looking as if it would snap at any moment.

"Gold and Silver Snake, go ahead and grow bigger if you can! My body won't be able to take it!"

The Snake Demon knew that Tu Xiao'an's body was only eighteen meters long, having grown from its previous size of fifteen meters.

Tight. Very tight.

Tu Xiao'an's body swelled, but not only did it fail to snap the Snake Demon's coils, the increased pressure was now constricting him so tightly he could barely breathe.

If he could swell to thirty meters like that Ancient Snake Spirit, the Snake Demon's body would absolutely have been torn apart.

Unfortunately, he hadn't reached that stage yet.

"Since you can't break free, I'll let you have a taste of my venom!"

The Snake Demon made a demonic sound, as if it were cackling sinisterly.

It opened its maw to reveal two rows of sharp fangs, one on top and one on the bottom. It was common knowledge that venomous snakes have only two fangs, and even a Vampire Snake only has four. But when this Snake Demon opened its mouth, it revealed two dense rows of sharp fangs, each one filled with incredibly deadly Venom.

A single drop of its Venom could kill an elephant in an instant.

CHOMP...

The two rows of fangs bit down viciously on Tu Xiao'an's enormous body, their poison so potent it could kill the instant it drew blood.

Seeing this, a strange look appeared in Tu Xiao'an's Snake Gaze. Since his body was bound, all he could do was watch.

The fangs made contact, but the Snake Demon froze in surprise. It hadn't pierced the skin. Its two rows of fangs felt as though they had struck steel—impossibly hard, the impact jarring.

'This is impossible!' Its fangs were incredibly sharp. It bit down again.

CLANK... CLANK... CLANK...

With every bite, the sound of grinding metal filled the air.

It couldn't break through. Its fangs were unable to pierce the defensive power of its opponent's scales.

"Are you done biting?"

A mocking voice quietly sounded. The Snake Demon looked up, only to be met by an abnormally bright Snake Gaze. The gaze was as deep as the sea, yet it emanated slivers of icy Killing Intent.

The Snake Demon was instantly overcome by an intense sense of crisis. So what if it had its opponent trapped? Its fangs couldn't even pierce his scales. It seemed the only option was to constrict him until he suffocated.

Just as that thought occurred, the Snake Demon prepared to constrict with all its might. But suddenly, the massive body it held captive began to glow. The sizzling sound of an electric current filled the air, and a powerful surge of electricity instantly illuminated the Snake Demon as well.

BZZT... BZZT... AARGH... AARGH... AARGH!

The Snake Demon's bizarre shrieks and howls mingled with the crackling electricity.

Tu Xiao'an's entire body was charged with Thunder. Since the Snake Demon was binding him with its body, it acted as a natural conductor and was electrocuted, causing it to wail in agony.

Arcs of Thunder enveloped the Snake Demon, electrocuting it relentlessly.

This spectacle lasted for a full ten minutes before the electricity coursing over Tu Xiao'an's body gradually faded.

As for the Snake Demon that had been wrapped around Tu Xiao'an, it limply came "unlocked." Its elongated body contracted, and it fell to the ground like a dead loach, smoking and barely alive.

To have been electrocuted for a full ten minutes without dying showed that its Life Force was exceptionally strong.

"How was that? Nice and tingly?"

Tu Xiao'an looked at the paralyzed Snake Demon as if it were an idiot. 'What was it thinking, trying to bind me with its own body?'

'It was just asking to die.'

'I wield the Power of Thunder and Lightning. Did it really think I couldn't fry it?'

"You... You can actually control Thunder?" The Snake Demon lay paralyzed on the ground, a trace of fear unwittingly showing in its Snake Gaze.

Legend had it that only a Snake King who had attained the Dao could control Thunder.

Although it had cultivated into a spirit, it was still just an ant before a Snake King.

How could this Gold and Silver Snake be a Snake King? The aura it gave off wasn't nearly strong enough to command its submission or fear.

The Snake Demon couldn't figure it out. Electrocuted to the point of utter weakness, it could only lie there, completely at his mercy.

Tu Xiao'an felt no need to explain. He stated in a cold, impassive voice, "I told you there were two choices. Unfortunately, you chose the latter. That means you can only be eaten by me."

"Don't eat me! I submit to you! I'll acknowledge you as my master!"

Achieving Cultivation to become a spirit was an incredibly difficult feat. The Snake Demon had gained sentience, the ability to speak, and even complex emotions. How could it not fear death?

It hadn't been easy to get this far. The moment it heard the Gold and Silver Snake was going to eat it, it was terrified.

Tu Xiao'an's gaze was cold and impassive, yet it held a look of lofty disdain. "Too late. You only had one chance. Now, you can only be eaten by me."

Among the hundreds of thousands of venomous snakes in this clearing, the Snake Demon was the strongest. As a Snake Spirit, a superior Snake Species, it was even qualified to command them all. But now, its fate was simply to be eaten.

Tu Xiao'an's Snake Gaze flickered. He began Devouring the pleading Snake Demon without a trace of pity. The creature's agonized cries for mercy only ceased completely after it had been swallowed whole.

He had devoured the Snake Demon so decisively because he was gradually realizing something: he hadn't even reached the depths of Snake Hook, yet he had already encountered such a powerful Snake Species. He had no doubt that even more freakish Snake Species awaited him in the depths of Snake Gully.

Right now, the most important thing was to increase his own strength.
