Soul-Slaying Maiden: Master Of Ancient Divine Weapons

"RUN!"

No need for further words.

Are you kidding? That's a fifth rank.

No way they're planning to fight it head-on—saving their lives is the priority.

"You guys run first, I'll cover the rear." Xiao Ya said just one sentence before slowing down and falling to the back of the group.

"Old Xiao!"

There was no time for emotional speeches. Cai Shifang and Xi Xiaoqian were shoved forward by Xiao Ya with a forceful push.

Han Zhen was no exception.

After doing this, Xiao Ya turned around. Dozens of white-tailed missiles were launched from the combat mecha, flying straight at the fifth-rank Izanagi serpent.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

A series of explosions erupted, and amidst the thick smoke, the massive snake head lunged out with its tongue flicking—

Not a single trace of injury could be seen on its body.

After firing the missiles, Xiao Ya ran in the direction opposite to Han Zhen and the others.

The combat mecha's propulsion system was pushed to maximum power, and the red flames burned so intensely they turned blue.

At full power, the third-generation combat mecha could only sustain this state for three minutes. Under Xiao Ya's piloting, it had already turned into a shooting star streaking through the air.

The next second, the enormous snake head appeared suddenly in front of him.

Its gaping maw opened wide, sharp fangs dripping with saliva.

Its speed was even faster than the combat mecha.

BANG!

Three seconds later, hearing an explosion behind him, Han Zhen instinctively turned his head.

All he saw was the red flames within the Izanagi serpent's mouth that hadn't fully dissipated.

"Old Xiao!"

There wasn't even time to grieve over Xiao Ya's death.

The Izanagi serpent immediately shifted its focus to them.

They could only give it their all to ensure Xiao Ya's sacrifice wasn't in vain.

But it wasn't enough.

The fifth-rank Izanagi serpent moved effortlessly through the terrain, as if it were walking on flat ground.

Even Xiao Ya's full-powered mecha couldn't outrun it, so the distance they managed to gain within moments was soon closed by the serpent.

Its fangs lunged again, aiming for Cai Shifang and Xi Xiaoqian.

CRUNCH!

The serpent's teeth almost broke.

The two of them were ecstatic to find that the serpent's fangs had been blocked by their armor, narrowly saving their lives.

It was the sixth-rank armor given by Han Zhen.

Sixth rank—one rank higher than fifth—it was impenetrable to the serpent's fangs.

However, before they could celebrate, the serpent spewed out a thick, green-purple venom that instantly soaked their entire bodies.

Within mere breaths, their armor corroded entirely, and they were reduced to pools of blood.

Two more dead.

The captain and teammates who had been fighting together were now all gone.

At this moment, Han Zhen had also unlocked the limiters.

White mist enveloped him, instantly boosting his speed by more than ten times.

But it still wasn't enough.

Han Zhen raised his right hand slightly, and the phantom of the Fuxi Zither appeared in midair.

As the strings plucked themselves, the melody of "Dragon Soaring Symphony" played in his ears.

Physical enhancement, further increased.

With the dual enhancements, Han Zhen's speed skyrocketed, causing the Izanagi serpent that had almost caught up to him to miss its bite.

But soon, Han Zhen saw a wall thicker and higher than a city wall ahead—

A massive barricade of scales.

Stretching over six thousand meters, the Izanagi serpent's head was behind him.

The cunning creature had used its body to encircle the entire mountain.

At this point, unless the man could sprout wings…

Just as the serpent thought this—

It saw a gust of invisible wind forming beneath Han Zhen's feet.

The wind enveloped him entirely, lifting him up and carrying him effortlessly over the "serpent wall" that no ordinary person could breach.

HISS!

The fifth-rank Izanagi serpent was enraged.

This man, who had repeatedly slipped through its grasp, this slippery ant, was testing its patience.

As it seethed, a distinct bulge on its forehead suddenly split open.

A bolt of lightning, faster than the eye could follow, struck Han Zhen mid-air, sending him crashing down.

Han Zhen hit the ground, his entire body numb.

If it weren't for the purification and reinforcement of his body by the Shennong Cauldron and Fuxi Zither, he would've been gravely injured by now.

But as he got back up and prepared to escape again, he found himself face-to-face with two massive, orange-yellow vertical pupils larger than an adult.

"Hiss—Roar—"

The Izanagi serpent roared at him furiously.

The bloody stench of its breath mixed with the wind, almost knocking Han Zhen off his feet.

Its jaws opened wide, ready to devour him.

In that split second—

A gigantic sword descended from the sky, piercing straight into the serpent's head and pinning its gaping jaws to the ground!

BOOM!

The massive impact sent Han Zhen flying.

As he was flung backward, he instinctively looked up into the sky.

Apart from the sword, which was wider and taller than himself, a striking woman dressed in black suddenly appeared atop the hilt.

As she landed on the sword, it seemed to receive a terrifying force, driving it even deeper into the serpent's brain.

The scales that the third-generation combat mecha couldn't break through were as fragile as paper before the sword.

Han Zhen finally saw her clearly.

A woman with a perfect figure and stunning features, clad in black battle attire that accentuated her curves.

Her crimson-tinged eyes glinted with a hint of madness, and a devilish smile tugged at her lips.

Her long white hair danced in the wind like wild claws, making a single phrase flash in Han Zhen's mind:

Demoness!

But she clearly wasn't a demoness.

The fifth-rank Izanagi serpent stood no chance against her sword.

The mysterious and powerful woman, whose height was only half the sword's length, casually gripped the hilt.

With a slash, the thousand-meter-long Izanagi serpent was reduced to countless pieces by her sword aura.

Afterward, she ignored the rain of blood behind her and approached Han Zhen.

The scene was wild, and the woman was beautiful.

Han Zhen, watching this unfold, opened his mouth and finally said, "Thank you, senior."

This was someone who could instantly kill a fifth-rank Izanagi serpent.

Han Zhen, a mere third-rank, no matter how strong, was no match for her.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing his words, the woman laughed.

Her laughter was so radiant it made the entire scene feel warm and bright, like the melting of snow.

But in the next second, the sound of wind cutting through the air reached him.

The blade of the giant sword was now at Han Zhen's neck.

"You're quite the handsome little brother—just my type. But," she said, her voice teasing yet chilling, "I'm no senior of yours from the Grand Xia."

"I hail from the City of Extreme Evil—what you spirit tamers often call the 'Land of Exile.'"

Hearing this, Han Zhen's pupils contracted sharply.

Taking advantage of this moment, he used his Divine Illumination ability to analyze her information.
