Invincible Snake Emperor-Chapter 65: The Snake’s Hatred

"You punk, what crap are you spewing? You really think Bai Town is defenseless?"

Instantly, several burly Snake Catchers couldn’t contain their explosive tempers and wanted to go teach him a lesson. It was bad enough that this kid was taking advantage of the chaos, but he was also making snide remarks.

Hidden in the shadows, Tu Xiao’an was so angry he wanted to send out the Electric Bee King to strike the kid’s head with a bolt of Thunder. ’How dare he look down on the Snake Catchers of Bai Town? He’s practically begging to die.’

If his master hadn’t been keeping the Vampire Snake busy, he never would have had a chance at the Supreme Profound Snake.

Besides, if the kid dared to snatch the Supreme Profound Snake from him, Tu Xiao’an would make damn sure he never left She Mountain alive.

Jiang Xingze had successfully earned everyone’s animosity. But just then, the tide turned in the battle between He Zhennan and the Mutated Bloodsucker Snake. A piercing, metallic CLANG echoed as the snake was slammed viciously to the ground. A gash actually appeared on its petrified, rock-hard Snake Skin.

"HISSS..."

The Vampire Snake remained as ferocious as ever and was about to lunge at He Zhennan again. Suddenly, it froze. Its pair of Snake Pupils glinted with a bone-chilling light as it reared its head, staring coldly at Jiang Xingze.

By constantly waving the Supreme Profound Snake he held in his hand, Jiang Xingze had successfully drawn the Vampire Snake’s attention.

After all, the Vampire Snake hadn’t appeared to fight the Snake Catchers. It had come to devour the Supreme Profound Snake. This particular mutated Snake Species was extremely peculiar; it was famous for being a snake that ate other snakes and had an insatiable thirst for blood.

It could devour its own kind to accelerate its growth and drink fresh blood to become even more powerful.

That single glance sent a shiver down Jiang Xingze’s spine. He felt like he was being watched by a Fierce Ghost.

His heart pounded, and a sense of danger enveloped him. The hand Jiang Xingze used to wave the Supreme Profound Snake froze in midair.

When the numerous Snake Catchers saw this, their eyes lit up with mocking delight.

’Serves you right, you little punk. You’ve really gone and asked for it now.’

Jiang Xingze’s expression turned ugly, and his body went rigid. The Vampire Snake’s ferocious, terrifying Snake Pupils were locked onto him, ready to strike the moment he moved.

"Young man, put the Supreme Profound Snake down, now! Or the Vampire Snake will attack you!"

He Zhennan shouted urgently when he saw the Supreme Profound Snake in Jiang Xingze’s hands.

’Is this kid trying to get himself killed?’ Why had the Snake Catchers of Bai Town suddenly lost interest in the Supreme Profound Snake? Because they knew the Vampire Snake had come specifically for it.

By capturing the Supreme Profound Snake, he had successfully drawn the Vampire Snake’s hatred onto himself.

"Master He, don’t get involved. This kid was just mocking us Bai Town Snake Catchers for being incompetent. Since he was able to catch the Supreme Profound Snake, I’m sure dealing with a Vampire Snake is nothing to him."

As he spoke, several other Snake Catchers moved to block He Zhennan, who had been preparing to act again.

Everyone just wanted to see what the arrogant brat would do. It would be best if the Vampire Snake bit him to death. He’d deserve it.

They were kicking him while he was down. It was blatant schadenfreude.

"Dammit," Jiang Xingze cursed under his breath, swallowing hard a few times as if his throat had gone dry.

"HISSS..."

The Vampire Snake’s hiss was like a bone-chilling wind. Jiang Xingze took a small step back. In the open clearing, fallen leaves suddenly swirled into the air. The Vampire Snake’s Killing Intent erupted, and it shot forward like a gale.

The slender snake opened its bloody maw, revealing four pale-green fangs. It coiled its body, then sprang, lunging toward Jiang Xingze like a Dragon soaring through the sky. The sight was absolutely terrifying.

"That’s it, kid. You’re dead meat."

A sense of glee filled the eyes of many Snake Catchers. His comeuppance had arrived so quickly; it was immensely satisfying. For a moment, even the ferocious Vampire Snake started to look almost cute.

The Vampire Snake soared through the air, its maw gaped open, a picture of terrifying ferocity. In their minds, the crowd could already see the snake latching onto the kid and sucking his blood.

At the critical moment, Jiang Xingze, who had seemed afraid, focused his gaze. A sinister, charming smile spread across his face. "You beast. I was waiting for you to come to me."

With those words, Jiang Xingze remained calm in the face of danger. A pouch of white powder suddenly appeared in his hand, and he flung its contents toward the lunging Vampire Snake, blanketing it.

It was, of course, Snake Powder. If an ordinary snake got this powder on its skin, it would be burned to death.

The moment the Snake Powder scattered, the Vampire Snake’s wretched shrieks filled the air. The red-striped venomous snake now looked as though it had been caked in thick white makeup, changing its color.

SSSS...

SSSS...

The Vampire Snake immediately began to writhe on the ground, hissing and shrieking in a way that chilled one’s heart.

"Haha... Today, I, Jiang Xingze, will make a name for myself! The Supreme Profound Snake and the Vampire Snake will both be captured by me!"

Watching the Vampire Snake screaming on the ground, Jiang Xingze’s eyes lit up. ’So what if it’s a mutated venomous snake? Once it touches my master’s special Snake Powder, it’s nothing.’

’Did Master overestimate this snake, or did he underestimate the power of his own special Snake Powder?’

’This stuff is incredible! It’s a Divine Artifact for snake catching!’

For a moment, the entire area fell silent. Everyone stared at the Vampire Snake writhing on the ground, completely shocked. Someone couldn’t help but ask, "What kind of treasure is that kid using? It’s so powerful that even the Vampire Snake can’t withstand it."

"It looks like realgar, but it’s a hundred times stronger."

It’s common knowledge that snakes are afraid of realgar because it contains sulfur. Snakes are generally not found in places with high sulfur content. However, realgar’s effect is merely to make snakes avoid an area; they aren’t terrified of it. At most, a snake will go around a place with realgar, and not all snakes are even afraid of sulfur.

The effect of the white powder in Jiang Xingze’s hand was terrifying. It had a burning effect. Even for a snake like the Vampire Snake, whose Snake Skin was nearly impervious to blades, it still couldn’t withstand the powder’s power.

"So, what do you think? Are you impressed?"

Jiang Xingze grew smug again. He tilted his head up slightly, looking down his nose at the crowd of Snake Catchers. His gaze finally landed on He Zhennan. ’Some Snake Catching Master he is. He fought the Vampire Snake for so long and couldn’t take it down. In the end, didn’t I finish it with a single pouch of Snake Powder?’

"Young man," He Zhennan said, looking at the smug Jiang Xingze, "what you just used was a special kind of Snake Powder, wasn’t it? One with lethal power against the Snake Race."

"So you do have some sense after all."

He Zhennan didn’t get angry at his rudeness. He just frowned and said, "That Snake Powder of yours may be powerful, but it’s not enough to deal with the Vampire Snake."

Hearing this, Jiang Xingze froze. ’Not enough to deal with it?’

The Vampire Snake was about to shed a layer of skin from the Snake Powder’s burns. A contemptuous expression had just formed on his face, but it quickly froze.

Because the Vampire Snake, which had just been writhing and screaming on the ground, was now rearing its head. A venomous glare fell upon him, and Jiang Xingze shivered.

It was the kind of look that said the Vampire Snake wanted to burn his face into its memory.

It was a very human, vengeful glare, the kind you usually only see on villains in TV shows. Now that it was directed at him by the Vampire Snake, Jiang Xingze was filled with dread.

’This snake is too intelligent. It holds a grudge. It will get revenge for the smallest offense. I’m in danger.’

His master hadn’t lied to him. Although his Snake Powder worked wonders on venomous snakes, it would lose its effectiveness against truly powerful ones.

’No, I have to run.’ Jiang Xingze understood that if the Snake Powder didn’t work, he was absolutely no match for the Vampire Snake.

He had been far too arrogant earlier. No one here was going to help him.

In any case, he had completed his mission perfectly. Not only had he caught the Supreme Profound Snake, but he’d also sprinkled Snake Powder on the Vampire Snake. He would just let his master deal with this monster later.
