Chapter 488: Chapter 485: Brute Force Confrontation

The idea for the Two-headed Snake was inspired by Orochi, and the Two-headed Snake seemed to have inherited the ferocity and irascibility of Orochi. When provoked by a python, it immediately opened its massive mouth and viciously bit toward the python’s neck.

One bite from it was equivalent to two bites, its sharp fangs clearly visible, and saliva was dripping from its mouth.

Although the python was smaller than the Two-headed Snake, it was by no means weaker. It dodged the bite with a quick movement. At the same time, it whipped one of the heads of the Two-headed Snake with its powerful tail with a "whoosh".

Like the Divine Dragon Tail, the Two-headed Snake was solidly smashed and sent rolling away. The python’s combat moves were limited: teeth tearing, head ramming, tail slapping, and finally, its ultimate move, the wrap and strangle.

For people, getting hit by a bite or by the python’s Divine Dragon Tail was mostly non-lethal, unless it hit the head. Wrapping and strangling were what was lethal.

The battle between peers was the same, the Two-headed Snake was sent flying by the python’s slap and rolled several times before stopping.

The left head of the Two-headed Snake, furious, rose up, opened its mouth, and spewed a stream of air, hissing loudly. It swung its tail towards the python, but the right head was baring its fangs ready to continue tearing, causing a disagreement between the two heads and slowing their actions by a beat.

As Li Qingyun said, the Two-headed Snake was disrupted by Li Yue and Xiao Manxuan, losing effective control, and the drawbacks of each head acting independently were exposed.

The python didn’t miss this opportunity and lunged with another Divine Dragon Tail. Its enormous tail viciously smacked the heads of the Two-headed Snake, sending it flying once more.

This python’s combat movements were as slick and smooth as flowing clouds, incredibly awesome, and Lin Tian watched as if he were observing an Ancient Martial master in battle.

This python must have been trained by Li Qingyun and her granddaughter; otherwise, its fighting wouldn’t be so anthropomorphic.

The Two-headed Snake, having been knocked down twice, became completely enraged, both heads spewing out streams of air and howling in fury as they charged forward, sweeping all the bricks in their path.

The python moved its head, trying to dodge another collision from the Two-headed Snake, but suddenly, the Two-headed Snake flipped its body sideways with half of its body and tail smacking over, the python’s head dodged, but its neck was hit.

Under the fury, the Two-headed Snake flung its body and tail with clearly more power than the python, smacking the python so hard that it was sent flying far away, knocking down a section of the surrounding wall.

At this moment, if the Two-headed Snake was under control, it should have attacked Lin Tian and the others after getting rid of the python. However, apparently out of control, it did not attack the people but chased after the python instead.

Once it caught up with the python, the Two-headed Snake immediately coiled around and used the strangling move, a tactic that might work on other animals, but the effect was less significant on its own kind.

The python wasn’t scared at all and coiled around in return, the two snakes intertwining and rolling on the ground, causing nearby bricks to fly around.

As the two snakes were at a standoff, Lin Tian turned his attention back to the Soul-devouring Gu, which had already climbed onto Mr. Qi. If things continued smoothly, capturing the Gu was foreseeable.

Suddenly, a dangerous feeling rose from the bottom of his heart. Lin Tian was too familiar with this sensation; he had been ambushed by Ghost before, and being targeted by a sniper felt just like this.

A sniper was attacking! Since the enemy’s Gu tactics were ineffective, they had resorted to brute force. Lin Tian immediately scanned the direction from which the sound came with his penetrating vision.

A bullet was rapidly approaching, but its target was Li Qingyun. Just now, Lin Tian had used his super penetrating vision to scan the vicinity and detected no enemies, indicating that the bullet had been shot from a much farther place.

They were targeting Li Qingyun clearly because her presence greatly hindered the opponent’s Gu Cultivator; she posed too great a threat.

Being targeted by a sniper was no fun at all. She was not Lin Tian, who could not be hurt by blades or bullets. If hit, the likelihood of death was nearly one hundred percent.

In movies, getting shot by a gun would only result in a small bullet hole, along with the common scene where someone could still fight energetically and take down several enemies at close range even after being shot. But all that was deceptive.

The reality was that if an arm took a bullet from a rifle, that arm was basically gone, and without rapid medical treatment, the person’s life would be at risk too.

Take the most common AK47, for example. If hit within a few hundred meters, the body would definitely be penetrated straight through. The entry wound might just be a small hole, but the exit wound would be torn open into a hole as big as a bowl.

How big is a bowl? Like the bowl used for beef noodles. Such a wound on the leg would immediately render it useless, losing all combat capability. On the torso, well, that was a dead end.

What about a sniper bullet? A large caliber would tear a person into pieces, a smaller caliber would still turn a person into a ragged sack.

By now, Lin Tian could no longer afford to think about anything else and was just about to get up and rush over, but Li Qingyun suddenly moved. She rolled over to her side, lying down on the ground. The bullet, in a split millisecond, missed her original position and hit the wall behind her.

Li Qingyun actually managed to dodge the bullet by herself, and Lin Tian was amazed by her reflexes. She was in her seventies or eighties, yet her sensitivity to danger and the speed of her reaction left normal young people utterly ashamed.

Lin Tian had always thought she had only maintained a youthful appearance, but unexpectedly, her physical functions were even stronger than those of young people!

Xiao Manxuan and Li Yue also saw the scene of the shooting and were so shocked that they both stopped playing their instruments.

"Granny Li..." Xiao Manxuan called out and then ran toward Granny Li.

"Grandma..." Li Yue did the same, rushing to help Li Qingyun.

"I’m fine, you all lie down, they have a sniper!" Li Qingyun shouted.

"Whizz..." Another gunshot sounded, and though it was muffled by a silencer, the sound of the bullet flying was still very clear in the night.

But this time, the bullet was not aimed at Lin Tian and the others, but came from behind them and was directed toward the enemy.

Was someone helping us? Lin Tian wondered, looking in that direction with his penetrating gaze, and sure enough, a figure was rapidly moving through the ruins.

The newcomer was slim and shapely, moving with agile and clean motions; it was Ning Luoxi, who had just been mentioned.

And not far behind her, on the rooftop of an abandoned building, lay a person holding a high-precision sniper rifle. The bullet had been fired from this sniper rifle.

Thunder Wolf was here too? Lin Tian also recognized the sniper.

"Are you all okay?" Ning Luoxi soon reached the clearing and asked while crouching down.

"Sister Luoxi, why are you here too? We’re all fine. It’s just that their Gu Cultivator couldn’t beat us, so they resorted to using a sniper to ambush us; it’s so despicable," Xiao Manxuan said, first shocked and then angrily.
