Chapter 4: Houyi Slaying the Dragon
The tail end of the giant snake landed on the ground, and the hundred-foot snake body stood upright in the air, frighteningly powerful, as if it was about to turn into a dragon.
The little princess casually took a carving plume arrow on the bowstring, and then used all her strength to pull the Houyi bow open a little bit. The dark Hou Yi bow began to glow with a faint golden light, and the golden light surged toward the arrow on the bowstring like a mist. Mundane iron turned into golden essence, an ordinary plume arrow turned golden yellow, and finally turned into a golden light and left the string.
Wind and thunder gusts, heaven and earth lost color, the golden light seemed to tear through the void, in the blink of an eye to the giant snake. Giant snake is terrified, seems to find the huge energy hidden in the golden light arrow, it quickly fell to the ground, the huge snake body can barely avoid the golden aura that makes heaven and earth lose color, the giant snake whole snake body coiled in the crater can't stop trembling.
The golden arrow and the giant snake passed by, making the crowd incomparably lost, however, in the blink of an eye the wind and thunder sounded again, the golden arrow that had already disappeared whistled back from afar, the dazzling golden aura made the sun in the sky pale, and the golden arrow instantly pierced into the giant snake's body.
"Poof!"
A wave of blood from the snake wound erupted, the crater rushed up the sky of blood light, huge snake body in the crater constantly rolling, countless huge stones by the snake body impact everywhere shooting, the little princess crowd panicked to avoid.
Ten minutes after the giant snake is no longer tumbling, it once again upright, hideous snake head from the ground more than ten feet away, it stared viciously at the little princess, but when the giant snake saw Houyi bow, instinctively show fear.
The giant snake's body was cut open by the arrow of light just now, a huge bloody hole, the front and back of the bloody hole was permeated with light, and blood gurgled and flowed outward.
A trainee magician said, "Your Highness, open your divine bow once more, if you shoot into that wound just now this time, you will definitely be able to kill the demonic snake in one fell swoop."
"No, I don't have the strength to draw the divine bow anymore, you guys come."
Each of the dozen or so guards went up and tried, but none of them were able to draw the divine bow.
Chen Nan hid behind the rock and saw everything clearly, no one present knew Hou Yi Bow better than he did, it was difficult to pull the bow without a high level of strength. If the little princess has enough power, just now will Houyi bow and then slightly open some, not to mention a giant snake, is a dragon is also difficult to escape the scourge of death. In the ancient legend, Hou Yi bow had once shot down a god in the sky, and was one of the most powerful immortal treasures in the Immortal Fantasy Continent.
The giant snake seemed to be able to see that the crowd could no longer continue to use the 'dark tool' that terrified it, and with a fierce light in its eyes, it turned back to look at the Fiery Immortal Lotus on the inner side of the volcano before charging straight towards the crowd not far away.
Chen Nan had long since sensed something bad and ran down the mountain at the first opportunity.
It was only at this point that the little princess really showed her panic, "I overestimated my strength".
The guards shouted, "Your Highness, run away."
The little princess carried Houyi's bow, looked deeply at the crowd in front of her, and turned around to run down the mountain.
At this time, the giant snake had already swooped down, stirring up a gust of wind, and its huge head came to the front of everyone's eyes in a blink of an eye. Blood red snake letters, white poisonous fangs, just a fraction of a second away from touching the body of the crowd, three trainee magicians quickly held up a light blue light screen. The giant snake's head crashed hard on the magic shield, the light blue light screen instantly ruptured, the three trainee magicians spat out blood, and the guards were thrown far away by the huge momentum, rolling down the mountain.
Giant snake swimming fast like lightning, in the blink of an eye and caught up with the downward rolling crowd, on the spot there are two people by the huge body of the snake itself, even the screams did not have time to issue a, will be reduced to mush, the guards look at the heart of the gall to crack. The giant snake did not continue to attack the other guards, his eyes glowing with a vicious light, towards the front of the little princess to pursue and attack.
At this moment, Chen Nan's soul was in danger, the Imp was following behind him, while the giant snake was chasing after her.
The little princess shrieked, "Ah!"
Chen Nan loudly shouted after him, "Imp what are you screaming for, don't follow me like a follower."
"Scum, stinking thief you dare to talk to me like this, sooner or later I will take you into the palace as a eunuch, ah stinking snake is coming" At this time the little princess had no previous calm and cool color, at this moment she was panicked beyond measure.
After the guards heard the little princess screaming, forced to endure the severe pain on the body, climbed up from the ground, drew out the long sword to the giant snake body stabbing. But the ordinary iron swords couldn't help the giant snake at all, the giant snake's body twisted from side to side, and its huge body ferociously crashed into the bodies of these guards, and these people were knocked away like scarecrows.
The giant snake had already chased to the back of the little princess, opened its huge blood red mouth and spat out a large swath of flame, the roaring flames swept towards the little princess.
The little princess looked panic-stricken and let out an ear-piercing scream: "Ah"!
Seeing that the flames had already burned to the back of the little princess, at this time Houyi bow suddenly emitted a faint golden light, blocking the flames outside, scaring the giant snake stopped at once.
At the same time, a long whistle came from the distance, the sound like rumbling thunder, in the air for a long time to stir.
"Yu'er don't be alarmed, my master is here." The loudness of the visitor's voice caused the crater's rubble to keep rolling down the mountain.
Chen Nan was shaken to the point that his ears buzzed and he almost fell to the ground.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with broad clothes appeared a hundred feet away.
"Oooh old man why are you just coming, if you come one step later, I would have been eaten by this stinking snake." The little princess screamed.
Chen Nan was shocked and his qi and blood churned, coupled with his excessive nervousness just now, he sat on his butt on the ground.
"The sound gong is so powerful, could it be the sound killing stance Cang Long Xiao Imp called him an old man, could it be an old man who has returned to his old age.'' He tightly stared at that middle aged man, only a blink of an eye, the person who came was fifty feet closer.
"Shrinking the ground into an inch, the technique is close to the Dao This old man is really outstanding, it seems that his kung fu has at least reached the level of a Grandmaster." Chen Nan was secretly alarmed.
In an instant, the middle-aged man had already arrived in front of the little princess, and the giant snake was not far away, looking at this uninvited guest.
The middle-aged man didn't seem to give the giant snake the slightest bit of thought, and patted the little princess's head lovingly, laughing: "Haha, the little girl has suffered enough, right?"
"Hate it, don't hit my head." The little devil princess pushed the middle-aged man's hand aside and pouted, "Hmph, dead old man did you come long ago, deliberately hiding in the dark to see my joke"
"If I had come long ago, could I have stood by and watched you being chased and bitten by that little snake?"
"Fainted" Cinnan really convinced this pair of master and disciple, actually will be that huge thing labeled as a "small" word.
"Hmph, who knows if you're telling the truth or not."
At this time, those guards who were spared stumbled over around the giant snake.
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "You guys stay away from this volcano and retreat as far as you can."
The little princess also stopped talking and led the group of severely injured guards to run down the mountain. Of course, Chen Nan had long escaped first, he didn't want to face that terrifying imp.
"Hey, scum, stinking thief you stop right there, or I'll skin you after I catch you." The little princess shouted viciously.
Chen Nan was captured in the past few days and suffered a lot, at this moment, he scolded back fiercely: "You fart princess, daydreaming, sooner or later, I will let you pay back the bill, I xxxxxx".
Those guards who survived the attack wanted to rush over and catch him immediately, but they were seriously injured and could not do anything about it, so they could only yell and curse from a distance. The little princess had never been so insulted, angry silver teeth clenched, her body could not stop trembling, if not for the fact that she had exhausted her power, I'm afraid that she would have already chased after Chen Nan and killed him 10,000 times.
Three to five times, Chen Nan had already arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he ignored the angry curses behind him, and plunged into the depths of the woods not far away. He didn't leave there, wanting to watch the fight between the middle-aged man who had just arrived and the giant snake, he hid in a corner of the dense forest.
The Houyi Bow that terrified the giant snake had already been taken away by the little princess, but it was slow to attack the little princess's master. The giant snake had long been psychic, and it had sensed that the weak body in front of it contained great power, and it twisted its huge snake body uneasily.
At this moment, facing the giant snake alone, the aura of the little princess master changed in a flash, at this time he seemed to be a giant standing proudly in the world, his face was fearless, full of powerful confidence.
Giant snake is the king of the nearby beasts, no animal dares to step foot in the vicinity of several miles, but in just half a day's work, its authority has been challenged. At this moment, after the middle-aged man's powerful aura of oppression, it was completely enraged, fiery waves of fire erupted, surging toward the middle-aged man like the sky and the earth.
The middle-aged man's body shape like electricity, leaving a residual shadow in the original place, instantly moved to the side of the distance of five feet, and then leaped up high, a palm hit on the giant snake earlier traumatic wounds, the blood wave again from the wound sprayed out.
The giant snake couldn't endure the tremendous pain, and its upright body tumbled to the ground, its blood red eyes glowing with a chilling ferocity. A gust of wind rose up from the ground, and the huge snake's tail slashed across the sky towards the middle-aged man, this tail whip is a veritable sweeping army if put in the sand field, in the rumbling sound, the rocks shot, the sand and dust covered the sky, the giant snake's "sweeping army" left a huge ditch mark on the mountain.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the middle-aged man has stood on the top of the volcano, the giant snake once again upright, the huge snake head is just flush with the crater, hideous mouth to the middle-aged man swallowed and bit.
The middle-aged man does not avoid, not flash, a forward, two fists swung forward, a large area of white light appeared in front of the fists, the white light seems to have a tangible object hit the snake's bloody mouth.
"Boom"
There was a great sound that shook the sky.
The giant snake tumbled to the ground from the air, hitting the rocks in all directions. The middle-aged man was also sent flying from one side of the crater to the other by the tremendous force of the recoil, and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
Chen Nan secretly marveled in his heart: this middle-aged man was actually able to fight a hundred-foot giant snake with his own strength, his cultivation was truly extraordinary.
The Little Princess and the others who were hiding in the jungle were overjoyed to see that the middle-aged man was able to fight the giant snake.
The middle-aged man and the giant snake again entangled together, the middle-aged man relying on lightning speed and superb strength to attack the eyes and other weaknesses of the giant snake, the giant snake by virtue of the body advantage of the middle-aged man sweeping and brutal, one person and one snake in the volcano jumping and tossing, huge stones continue to fall from the mountain downward.
One person and one snake were getting farther and farther away from the crater, gradually hitting towards the bottom of the mountain, Chen Nan felt bad and quickly skipped away. The Little Princess crowd also felt bad, they hurriedly withdrew back a mile.
The crowd had just withdrawn, and their original hiding place was reduced to a new battlefield. The middle-aged man and the giant snake fought from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and every time he swung his fist, it would emit a large area of blazing white light, and the rocks, forests, and trees would be shattered into pieces when they touched it.
The destructive power of the giant snake was even greater than that of the middle-aged man, every time it spat out flames, a large part of the forest would be burned down and turned into scorched earth, and every time it struck the "Sweeping Thousand Armies", rows of forest trees would fall.
In less than a cup of tea, the entire forest was razed to the ground.
Tatsuo Nan watched in horror, it wasn't that he hadn't seen a supreme expert before, his father was the supreme expert of supreme experts, but he hadn't seen such an intense fight a few times.
The little princess was secretly glad that if the giant snake had been so powerful to them earlier, I'm afraid that at this moment she would have reported to heaven. Of course this was her wishful thinking, Cinnan was more convinced that she would go to hell to find the demon to recognize her.
At this time, the middle-aged man seemed to have the upper hand, his lightning-like figure frequently appeared near the wounds that the giant snake had suffered earlier, his fists accompanied by a blazing white aura constantly bombarding the same place, the giant snake was beaten in a mess, his huge body constantly rolling over.
The little princess immediately cheered, "Master go for it, quickly beat that stinking snake to death and avenge my guards."
"Aiya, old man you are so stupid, how did you let the stinky snake get the upper hand again, are you proud of yourself because you heard me praising you?"
"Old man you are really bad, aiya, really stupid, how can you let the stinky snake burn your hair."
The middle-aged man stretched out his palm to chip away the long strand of hair that was burned by the flames and quickly retreated a dozen feet backward.
"Master, you're such a coward, how can you run away?"
Chen Nan secretly laughed, it was a great misfortune in life for the middle-aged man to have such a demonic disciple.
The middle-aged man took a breath and transmitted his voice: "Little girl don't talk nonsense, and then mess back after punishing you to face the wall for a hundred days."
"I am not encouraging you."
The middle-aged man: ""。
The middle-aged man was "stimulated" after the great power, will be the giant snake withered, just when the crowd thought that the middle-aged man victory, the giant snake's tail suddenly as fast as lightning like wrapped around the waist of the middle-aged man, all of a sudden he rolled to the heights of the sky, even if it is the thinnest of the giant snake's tail is only a turn around the middle-aged man's chest and abdomen below all wrapped up.
The little princess shrieked in shock, rushing past the guards and running forward.
The middle-aged man struggled desperately, his whole body glowed with a faint white light, the light became stronger and stronger, the snake's tail wrapped around his body gradually loosened, and he was about to break free from the giant snake's entanglement, but just at this moment, the hideous snake's head suddenly opened its huge blood-red mouth and bit at him. He hurriedly swung his fists outward, a blazing white aura blocked the hideous snake head out, but the loose snake tail once again tightly entangled him.
The little princess quickly ran to less than ten feet away from the giant snake, voice choking: "master oo"
"Yu'er don't cry, master is fine, this small snake can't kill me."
"Master take Houyi bow." Said the little princess will Hou Yi bow and a carving plume arrow thrown into the air.
"Master, I am sorry, I want to see your real strength, so I did not give you Hou Yi bow earlier, oooh," the little princess cried again.
"Yu'er don't be afraid, this little snake really can't do anything to master, now it's dead with Houyi bow in hand." The middle-aged man said, while force to the giant snake's head even bombarded two punches, blazing white aura at once the snake head back three feet distance, he stretched out his hands, emitted a soft white light will Hou Yi bow and carving plume arrows into the hands of the guide.
"Yu'er quickly retreat, be careful of getting hurt."
The little princess looked at the middle-aged man after receiving Houyi bow put down her heart, turned around and ran away.
After seeing the Houyi bow, the giant snake did show a look of fear, and the huge snake head moved backward by a distance of seven or eight feet.
The middle-aged man's body glowed with light, and after nocking the arrow, he pulled the bowstring with all his might, he shouted: "Open" but to his surprise the bowstring did not move.
"Yu'er, isn't it true that someone has used Houyi bow before," the middle-aged man exclaimed.
"Yes, old man. That bloody hole in the stinking snake was shot by me, now you're happy, I've finally pulled back the divine bow."
"What? You're such a little fool. You can only use the Houyi bow once a year, so you're really getting yourself killed."
"Ah, Master!"
The giant snake seemed to have seen that the middle-aged man could not use the divine bow, it viciously bit at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man swung the Houyi bow to meet it, the dark back of the bow crashed into the giant snake's white teeth, four or five poisonous fangs up to half a meter in length were broken, and flew out along with a mist of blood. The giant snake ate the pain and threw the middle-aged man away with a hard slam of its tail.
The middle-aged man tumbled to the ground from the air in a sorry state, and after he took a long breath, he rushed towards the giant snake with his divine bow in hand.
Chen Nan was dumbfounded as he watched, the little princess's master actually used the Hou Yi bow as a club, his heart ached.
"This perverted man actually really wasted it"
The little princess looked on with a smile on her face, "Haha, the old man is really funny"
The middle-aged man jumped up high, a black light flashed, the giant snake's steel-like scale armor was hit by the Hou Yi bow and flew in all directions, blood rained in the sky. Giant snake rage, the whole snake body crazy twisting, huge tail horizontal whip vertical split, the earth are for it to shake up.
However, the little princess's master's figure was like electricity, dodging rounds and rounds of deadly attacks. He then struck frequently with his Houyi bow in hand, beating the giant snake to a bloody pulp.
Suddenly the giant snake stopped, upright in the air the snake body began to emit a faint golden light, the giant snake body has undergone a shocking change, the colorful scales and armor on the snake body turned into golden scales, four protrusions appeared on the abdomen, the head grows a pair of golden antlers, a dragon roar from the mouth of the giant snake, the sound shook the nine heavens. A powerful dragon qi emanated from the giant snake's body, and all the animals in a hundred-mile radius prostrated themselves on the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
"Dragon, I saw the legendary dragon," Chen Nan exclaimed excitedly.
The little princess exclaimed, "Oh my god, we're fighting a dragon."
While everyone was thrilled, the Little Princess's master revealed a gloomy look. Only he understood that the giant snake had not succeeded in transforming into a dragon, the dragon's claws on its belly had not been extended, and there was only one way to die if it failed to transform into a dragon.
He softly said, "Brother Snake is sorry, I thought you were a snake demon that had no success in cultivation, I never thought that you were so noble and proud that you had spent ten thousand years to cultivate the body of a true dragon, if you had not reached the critical point of transforming into a dragon, I think that we would have already been dead without a burial place."
At this time the golden scales on the body of the giant snake began to fall off, no scales where the blood and flesh, the giant snake issued a mournful dragon roar, from the mouth spit out a golden light flashes of the endothelium, the endothelium in the air suddenly shattered into a little bit of gold rain disappeared in the air, the failure of the dragon transformation of the giant snake turned into a golden light to the volcano rushed to the blink of an eye did not enter the caldera.
The little princess's master was disappointed, if he killed a demon snake, he would never feel incomparable loss, but to kill a holy snake that was expected to transform into a dragon, he felt heavy in his heart.
"Is it right, is it wrong perhaps there is no right or wrong in this world in the first place." He let out a long sigh.
With a heavy heart, the middle-aged man arrived at the crater of the volcano, he flew and leaped to the Fiery Immortal Lotus and picked only one petal of the immortal lotus before pulling off the entire plant and throwing it inside the volcano.
"Snake brother, this may be the will of God, if the Fiery Fairy Lotus ripened half an hour earlier, perhaps you have already transformed into a dragon and gone. That immortal lotus will surely protect your spiritual consciousness from extinction, may you cultivate into a true dragon in your next life."
At this time, the little princess has run up, "Master just what is going on, that stinky snake how to turn into a dragon"!
The middle-aged man said, "You're looking at it wrong, how could it turn into a dragon?"
The little princess said to the guards, "It's a dragon." I clearly saw a dragon.
"It's a dragon."
"It's a dragon."
"It's definitely a dragon, I saw it clearly."
The guards affirmed.
The middle-aged man said lightly: "People will have hallucinations when they are overly nervous, and you were too nervous just now."
The little princess said: "Hmph, old man why are you weird today, there must be something you are hiding from me."
The middle-aged man laughed: "You little girl, always thinking nonsense. Here, this is the Fiery Immortal Lotus you are going to pick."
"Ah, why is there only one petal?"
"You, you're so greedy, it's already good enough to get one petal of this kind of immortal grass, the rest of the lotus petals have already fallen inside the volcano after ripening."
"Alas, what a pity." The little princess sighed.
"Hey, master, where's the snake? Did you kill it?"
"It died under Hou Yi's bow."
"Oh, old man, you are really strange today, obviously slaughtered a dragon, no, is a huge snake, how can still be so listless," the little princess blinking a pair of big eyes, a meaningful look at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man pinched her nose, changed the topic and laughed: "You little girl even stole away from the palace, you do not know that you are about to put your father in a hurry to death."
"Nasty." The little princess slapped off the middle-aged man's hand and said, "I came out to look for the Fiery Immortal Lotus not for the sake of my father, when he turns sixty years old on his birthday, I'll send him the Immortal Lotus, and he'll definitely be overjoyed."
"You little girl is really crazy, don't you know that it will be very dangerous for you to do so how can you disregard"
"Okay, okay, I know, why are you nagging me more than my grandma. Master, I heard people say that you had a crush on my grandmother when you were young, is that true" the little princess said with a bad smile.
"You you don't change the topic."
The little princess laughed playfully, "Yes, as ordered, my disciple will return to the palace immediately."
The middle-aged man had a helpless look on his face and said: ''You are too naughty, I really don't feel confident that you will go back peacefully.''
The little princess wondered: "old man, you do not go back with me".
The middle-aged man said: "I came here to look for you, I should have escorted you back, but on the way I heard people say that a Qilin appeared in the Falling Wind Mountain Range, which is an extraordinary thing, I have to go over there to take a look, I just don't feel at ease with you".
"Isn't that a legendary beast, there really is a Qilin in this world", the little princess said, her eyes glowing with excitement, "I want to go too".
"No, you've been away from the palace for more than half a month, your mother has been so scared for you that she's fallen ill, so hurry back."
"Ah, my mother is sick, then fine, I'll go back immediately." The little princess was filled with disappointment.
The middle-aged man returned the Houyi bow to the little princess and said: "Yu'er, why did you steal the Houyi bow, you should know that this is the heirloom of the Chu state, and his role is to deter the great masters of other countries."
"What's wrong with it, it's not just borrowing it, it's not like I won't give it back." The little princess was not concerned.
"You really don't know the importance of it, the divine bow has been sealed by someone, it can only be used once in a year, how can you take it and use it casually, good thing that there is no bad enemy in Chu now, basically it can't be used."
"I know." The little princess trailed off.
