45: Chapter 45 Battle 45: Chapter 45 Battle “Donghuang, I never expected such a grand gift from you after three years apart.
Rest assured, I will return it twice over, let’s see if you can catch it then.” As Mu Can watched the two men and one snake before him, he thought to himself in darkness.
To send someone to hunt him down at his own home, this Donghuang really hated him to the bone.
Merely harming him secretly before wasn’t enough; now he wanted to completely eradicate him.
“In that case, let’s battle,” Mu Can roared loudly towards the sky.
With a loud boom, the entire roof of the Martial Pavilion was blasted off from the building.
“Come out and fight.” Mu Can took the lead and flew up, hanging in the air quietly watching the opponent.
“I’ve got this one.” The golden giant snake opened its huge maw and roared, sensing an especially rich Soul Power from Mu Can.
The demon beast’s instinct told it that if it could devour this power, its strength would ascend to the next level.
“Hehe, you want to eat me?
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my master, might as well gift him a snake gallbladder today.” A Martial Venerate level snake gallbladder is indeed a great gift.
“Lowly thing, do you know who you’re speaking to?
How dare you disrespect the great Snake Venerable.” The golden giant snake roared, angered by Mu Can’s desire to take its gallbladder.
Does it not know it’s the most powerful snake in the world?
“This little snake is quite interesting, so narcissistic even the Dragon Clan wouldn’t dare call itself great,” Purple Cloud within the Reincarnation Pearl commented with a laugh.
“Snake Venerable, finish him quickly, otherwise if Xuanyuan the elder comes, we won’t be able to escape.” The short one, seeing the two chatting above, hurriedly shouted from below.
“Shut up, or I’ll eat you first.” The golden giant snake glared at the short one and roared, flicking its tongue that was as thick as an arm.
Mu Can curiously and amusedly watched the golden giant snake, feeling that the snake before him was rather unreliable.
“This doesn’t work either?
Is this your pet?” Mu Can mockingly asked the short one.
The short one’s face turned from pale to blush with Mu Can’s remark; the golden giant snake was not actually his pet, rather it was more apt to describe it as a revered deity he had invited.
Getting this revered figure to take action required sufficient benefits, otherwise it wouldn’t care at all.
What was more frustrating was that the snake was more powerful than him, leaving him helpless.
“Snake Venerable, I’ll add ten more [Spirit Stones], kill him immediately, Big Man, you act quickly as well or Xuanyuan the elder will be here soon.”
The three figures suspended in the air had already attracted the attention of the Mu Family.
Although most of the Mu Family were in Pingyun City today, there were still many people remaining on Pingyun Mountain.
Such a huge snake!” People noticed the giant snake; its massive figure floating uncovered in the air, hard to be unnoticed.
Didn’t he kill the second elder today?” one person asked his companion, referencing the event that happened at today’s wedding, which had already spread throughout the Mu Family.
Three months ago, the gravely injured Mu Can came back as king, killing Mu Zili on the spot.
“It seems so, looks like Mu Can wants to kill that snake,” the crowd pointed at the sky and chattered simultaneously.
Three beings capable of flying were, in their eyes, existences on the same level as their ancestor.
Unable to hold back, the Giant struck first, wielding a massive axe and roaring towards Mu Can.
Walking in reverse, he stepped on the void as if climbing one stair after another, ascending step by step.
Heavenly Stepping Seven Steps—after seven steps, at the highest point, his aura peaked, the axe stroke seemed to split the space itself.
He’s so tall, such a terrifying attack, can Mu Can handle it?” a servant of the Mu Family asked.
“Where would I know, but since Mu Can could kill the second elder, he should be fine,” an impatient Mu Family disciple answered.
“Hehe, perfect timing.” Mu Can smiled slightly as he saw the ferocious Giant approaching.
Facing the giant axe slashing down from above, Mu Can reacted with a twist of his body, dodging the Giant’s assured strike in a posture impossible for ordinary people, followed by a fierce kick to the Giant’s back.
The tremendous force made the Giant unstable in the air, causing him to crash heavily onto the ground, raising a huge cloud of dust with a bang.
“Holy crap, so strong, go Mu Can!” The servant exclaimed, as Mu Can had kicked the Giant away just after one encounter.
Mu Can hovered in mid-air, provocatively watching the Serpent.
“Is this all you’ve got?
You underestimate me too much.”
Feeling Mu Can’s provocation, the Serpent also launched an attack on Mu Can.
It was hard to imagine such a massive serpent having such speed in the air, its huge body not hindering the mobility of the Snake Venerable at all.
It moved swiftly like lightning, searching for any vulnerability in Mu Can.
It seemed that the kick that had thrown the Giant to the ground had made the Snake Venerable wary of Mu Can too.
More and more Mu Family members noticed the battle between the man and the serpent in the sky, all rushing out to watch.
In just three months, the Mu Family members had witnessed many strange phenomena: Qingyi’s purple mists filling the sky, Mu Zili’s emergence with the Fire King Cauldron, and today’s mobilization of the Snake Venerable.
And all these seemed to be related to Mu Can, so they were no longer surprised.
“How do you think Mu Can will kill this serpent?” The onlookers even started betting.
This was also due to the actions of Mu Xing and Mu Chen making the Mu Zili lineage unpopular within the Mu Family.
Therefore, after Mu Can defeated Mu Zili, the Mu Family members held no animosity towards Mu Can.
The phenomenon of respecting strength was particularly evident in the Mu Family.
“I bet Mu Can will kill the serpent within ten rounds.
I stake half a Spirit Stone.” People eagerly joined the betting.
The short spectator was incredibly anxious, knowing that this would definitely attract the attention of Elder Xuanyuan.
“Damn, how can Mu Can be so strong, even Donghuang doesn’t have this strength nowadays,” the short one had already lost his previous composure in front of the City Lords, cursing Donghuang internally for leading them into provoking such a terrifying enemy.
The Giant slowly got up, dizzy from the fall, barely stood up, and lifted the axe to charge high into the sky again.
“Xingtian Battle Axe.” The Giant roared, his axe turning into a whirlwind, fiercely thrown at Mu Can.
Mu Can only felt a gust of wind, and in the next second, the axe was already spinning in front of his eyes.
The serpent, seizing the opportunity, also launched an attack on Mu Can.
Stillness before action, a move startling as thunder.
The Serpent’s attack was equally fierce.
The serpent’s head appeared below Mu Can, snapping open its huge maw.
“Swallowing Heaven and Earth.” A tremendous suction force emanated from the serpent’s mouth.
Mu Can was almost destabilized, barely avoiding being sucked into the serpent’s belly.
A racial Divine Skill of the Snake Venerable: Devouring.
