Protecting his True Divine Spirit!

Lin Zheng, Ling Wuchen and Ling Jianjue had the same thought all at the same time.

Just a moment ago, Dugu Yifeng had been rushing towards the group of Silver Striped Snakes. In an instant, the venom fell onto his body like rain.

This scene caused the three people beside to tremble in fear. However, just as they were worried, a silvery white light suddenly flashed from Dugu Yifeng's body. A circular protective barrier immediately covered his entire body. After which, the poison that was less than a foot away from his body was also directly blocked and it slid down the protective barrier and onto the ground.

This scene instantly reminded the three of that legendary thing – the protective True Divine Spirit!

Suddenly, an absurd feeling arose in their minds – how could this be!

Protecting one's True Divine, that was the mark of a Xiantian King! When a martial artist reached the Houtian realm, they could be called an expert. As for those that had reached the Xiantian realm, they were honored with the title, 'King'!

But now, Dugu Yifeng was covered with the protective true essence of a Houtian realm martial artist.

While they were still in shock, Dugu Yifeng had already arrived in front of the Golden Thread Snake hiding in the corner.

In that instant, Dugu Yifeng had actually opened up an opening. Without the slightest intention of defending, he lifted his sword and attacked the golden threaded snake. The Golden-Striped Snake did not show any sign of backing down as it welcomed the black venom spraying towards Dugu Yifeng.

The venom was still liquid after all, so it flew through the air at a fast speed. It was Dugu Yifeng's attack that had landed on Dugu Yifeng's body. However, the venom was instantly blocked by the protective true essence. The moment the two touched, Dugu Yifeng could clearly feel a sizzling sound beside his ear.

Ling Wuchen and the other two people who were standing on the stairs also noticed the rising smoke from the place where the poison had come in contact with their Zhen Qi.

This venom could actually corrode a Xiantian realm protective zhen qi layer to such an extent, it was truly terrifying! Ling Wuchen and the other two men were extremely terrified!

However, Dugu Yifeng was constantly sighing in his heart about how lucky he was. He then accelerated his attacks in hopes of killing the Golden-Striped Snake as soon as possible. After all, this poisonous snake was too terrifying.

"Separated by one sword strike!" Dugu Yifeng let out a furious roar and a blossoming sword flower attacked the Golden-Striped Snake with lightning speed. The sword tip was pointed at the Golden-Striped Snake … Seven inches!

The seven inches of a snake, the reverse scale of a dragon!

Sensing that Dugu Yifeng had dared to attack him, the Golden-Striped Snake was instantly enraged. It let out a frenzied hiss and continued spitting out the tongue of the snake. Even so, Dugu Yifeng's speed was just too fast. He was faster than a flash of lightning, faster than a flash of lightning!

This Golden Thread Snake could not dodge at all! The tip of the sword pierced into the snake's body, about seven inches away from its body. After that, it was unable to penetrate any further. Dugu Yifeng instantly let go of the snake and ran away from the side of the snake. This snake was already enraged. If he were to continue staying by its side, he would only be courting death.

After being stabbed by its enemy and seeing him run away, the Golden-Striped Snake had been infuriated by Dugu Yifeng's actions. Its eyes were bloodshot as it chased after Dugu Yifeng.

Ling Wuchen and the other two disciples were so scared by Dugu Yifeng's audacious provocation that their hearts were jumping out of their chests and their bodies were covered in cold sweat. However, looking back, they were cheering happily in their hearts!

The reason they had been stopped was because the Golden-Striped Snake had ambushed them unceasingly, causing them to be unable to retaliate at all against a group of low level Postnatal realm Silver Striped Snakes. All they could do was passively dodge in humiliation!

They had been holding back this entire time, especially Ling Wuchen and Ling Jianjue.

Dugu Yifeng bypassed the group of silver threaded snakes and made a beeline for the top of the stairs. The Golden-Striped Snake behind him was unable to catch up to Dugu Yifeng. When Dugu Yifeng returned to the top of the stairs, Ling Wuchen immediately told him, "Yifeng, turn around and look at that Golden-Striped Snake!"

Dugu Yifeng stabilized his steps and turned his head to look back. The previously golden skin of the Golden-Striped Snake had suddenly turned into a layer of light red blood.

Slowly, Dugu Yifeng discovered the source of the blood. It was a wound left behind when he had injured the snake earlier when the sword force had entered its body.

This wound was not very big. After all, it was just a sword tip piercing into his body. But now that the snake had been stabbed seven inches by Dugu Yifeng, it was naturally enraged! All of a sudden, the snake's blood was boiling. In addition to its dashing movements, it had ripped open the small wound that was originally undetectable.

Originally, he had been struck seven inches. Although this Golden-Striped Snake had injured its source energy, the remaining essence was enough for it to survive for a few days. But now, the Golden-Striped Snake was extremely weak and it didn't have much time to live.

Under Dugu Yifeng's gaze, the Golden-Striped Snake fell to the ground and died within a short period of time.

"Uncle Lin, I've taken revenge for Little Black!" The instant the Golden-Striped Snake fell to the ground, Dugu Yifeng immediately turned around and softly consoled Uncle Lin. Dugu Yifeng and the others had witnessed the entire process of Blacky's corpse being corroded by the black venom. Judging from the extent of the black venom, it was clearly a mass of venom spat out by the Golden Thread Snake.

Although he did not know which of the two Golden Thread Snakes had killed Blacky, he had avenged Blacky since both of them had died at the hands of Dugu Yifeng.

Lin Zheng was speechless, but he could not help but feel a wave of sorrow from the bottom of his heart, it was just that the deceased had passed away. Too much grief would only leave behind more regret. After calming himself down, Lin Zheng forced out a smile and said to Dugu Yifeng, "Let's first strangle all the Silver Striped Snakes here before talking about anything else. We'll talk about the rest later."

"Yes." Dugu Yifeng replied as his face relaxed by quite a bit.

The four of them charged directly into the group of Silver Striped Snakes. This time, they believed that no more Golden-Striped Snakes would appear. After all, according to the records of the continent, it was already extremely rare to find a Golden Thread Snake. For two Golden Thread Snakes to appear at the same time in a cave like this was unheard-of in the entire continent.

Although Dugu Yifeng had not brought up this point, he had his suspicions for a long time. For such a small cave in the Thousand Hole Mountain to have two Golden Thread Snakes was already suspicious. Now, two Golden Thread Snakes had appeared at the same time, which meant that this cave must have a secret!

After a moment, Dugu Yifeng and the others had finished cleaning up the entire group of Silver Striped Snakes. They then called for the guards to come down and clean up the beast's corpse. After all, this large number of Silver Striped Snakes was worth quite a bit of silver, not to mention the fact that there were two extremely rare Silver Striped Snakes!

Dugu Yifeng had the guards prepare the stone stairs for the strange beasts, while he, Ling Jianjue, Ling Wuchen, and Lin Zheng had arrived at the place where Blacky's bones had been corroded and melded into the ground.
