Yang Na looked at the blood-soaked disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain glaring at her, and instead of feeling afraid, she feigned surprise and said, "Oh? Where did you all come from? What a striking appearance you have! Your demeanor is so restrained and profound, your sharpness hidden away. I’m truly impressed..."
Lin Lingsu interrupted, "Yang Na, I don't have time to play word games with you. Just leave."
Given Lin Lingsu's temperament, it was surprising that she tolerated Yang Na's repeated provocations without showing anger. It seemed she indeed held some fear of Yang Na, which only bolstered Yang Na's confidence. She exclaimed, "I traveled a long way just to catch a glimpse of Madam Wei's beauty, yet upon arrival, I am met with hostility. Is this how you treat guests at Dragon Tiger Mountain?"
Lin Lingsu was already losing her patience. "If that's the case, then stay."
With a wave of her hand, her disciples charged at Yang Na.
Zhang Yehao brandished his large sword and was about to attack when Yang Na swiftly blocked his path.
Yang Na laughed heartily and said, "Since Madam Wei is so welcoming, I wouldn't want to rush down the mountain. I’ll stay and enjoy some quality time with Madam Wei."
While Yang Na appeared relaxed on the surface and spoke provocatively, she was secretly chanting a spell. Suddenly, a series of sounds erupted from the ground as if magma were surging beneath. In an instant, numerous black blades shot up from the earth towards the disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain with such speed that they barely had time to react.
"Oh no," Lin Lingsu thought. She swung her steel sword, slicing through one of the shadows that had emerged from the ground. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a jet-black snake. Yang Na’s earlier banter had been a distraction while she secretly set up an ambush underground. Having just come from a fierce battle herself, Lin Lingsu had hoped to avoid direct confrontation with Yang Na but ended up falling into her trap and losing the initiative.
The shadow vanished in an instant, but those disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain who were bitten writhed in pain on the ground, crying out for help as the affected areas began to swell and emit a foul odor.
"This snake is the most venomous Black Mamba from Africa," Yang Na remarked with feigned sympathy as she watched the disciples entangled by the snake. "It’s said that it can seal one's throat upon biting. If Madam Wei takes them to the hospital for antivenom immediately, there might still be a glimmer of hope; otherwise, it will be a grave sin."
Lin Lingsu remained silent as she pulled out a silver pistol and shot down several approaching mambas. However, their speed was too great for her bullets to keep up; she had no choice but to fight with both gun and sword in a desperate struggle.
"Xu Suwen" shouted, his left hand moving as a surge of black light rose, transforming into a streak of darkness that shot towards the black snakes. Wherever it passed, it seemed to have eyes, smashing the snake heads to pieces. With a flick of his right hand, a long black cord transformed into a massive circle, enclosing "Lin Lingsu" and the disciples bitten by the snakes within. The cord shook, flames igniting along its length, charring several nearby black snakes until their flesh was burnt and their stench filled the air.
"Xu Suwen" flew into the circle while "Lin Lingsu" stood guard. From his robe, "Xu Suwen" produced a blue-and-white porcelain bowl, which miraculously filled with clear water. Taking a deep breath, he sprayed it into the air, droplets cascading down onto the poisoned disciples. "Xu Suwen" commanded, "Gather the Eastern Armor of Yin Wood, gather the Southern Fire of Bing Ding, gather the Western Metal of Geng Xin, gather the Northern Water of Ren Gui, gather the Central Earth of Wu Ji. All disciples shall be collected in my hands and cast into the abyss, unable to move. Evil spirits return to their place."
As soon as the incantation ended, the disciples who had been bitten by the snakes began to miraculously reduce in swelling and felt less pain.
"Yang Na" clapped her hands and said, "No wonder you are a senior expert from Dragon Tiger Mountain; your snake-handling skills surpass those of us juniors by far. This method of dispelling Snake Venom is something I can't quite grasp in several aspects. I hope you can teach me more when you have time."
"If you can't understand it, then go to the Underworld and think about it some more," "Lin Lingsu" replied as he broke through the fire circle. With a series of gunshots aimed at "Yang Na," although her expression remained relaxed, she was actually quite wary of "Lin Lingsu." As he raised his hand, she had already bent low and rolled away to dodge his inevitable strikes.
Before she could get back up, a streak of green light shot swiftly from her sleeve. "Lin Lingsu" dodged just in time; however, this green light seemed to have a mind of its own as it lunged for his neck. Startled, "Lin Lingsu" reached out and caught it—it was a green snake, glistening with oil-like sheen. In his grasp, it bit him back. A sharp pain pierced through his chest as he felt a dark line begin to creep up his arm. Quickly, he threw the snake to the ground.
"Don't move," "Xu Suwen" rushed over and pinched "Lin Lingsu's" arm to stop the advancing dark line. He then took out a black pill from his robe and tossed it into "Lin Lingsu's" mouth. He swallowed it quickly as the dark line began to dissipate.
This was already the second time "Lin Lingsu" had suffered an unexpected setback at "Yang Na's" hands.
A series of gunshots rang out as more disciples from Dragon Tiger Mountain arrived and saw that "Lin Lingsu" and "Yang Na" were entangled in battle while over ten others had fallen victim to "Yang Na's" Snake Venom. They immediately opened fire on "Zhang Ye" and "Yang Na." Taking cover behind an acacia tree, they used it for protection. However, the gunfire was too powerful; the tree was instantly riddled with bullets, leaving no chance for "Yang Na" and "Zhang Ye."
After a barrage of gunfire ceased, the disciples hurriedly went to check behind the acacia tree for "Yang Na" and "Zhang Ye's" bodies. But by then, they found only emptiness—no one remained.
In just that brief moment?
Where did they go?
Suddenly—a sound like thunder exploded in everyone's hearts.
The sound of "thud thud thud" gradually grew louder and more intense, causing the ground beneath everyone's feet to tremble. The rain fell heavier from the sky, dark clouds swirling like ink, edged with a bright golden hue. Countless thunderclaps echoed through the valley.
With a resounding "boom," the earth seemed to experience a tremendous earthquake, collapsing in on itself. The valley split in two, revealing an unfathomable pit. Trees were uprooted and swept away by the wind, plunging into the abyss below.
In the depths of the foggy pit, a massive creature stirred ominously.
Lin Lingsu and the others turned pale simultaneously.
A hissing sound echoed, reminiscent of a long snake flicking its tongue. A foul stench filled the air, mingling with the metallic scent of blood, making everyone feel nauseous.
Suddenly, with a deafening roar, a golden serpent shot up from the pit, soaring to a length of over ten meters. Its eyes were as large as tires, glowing with a sinister green light as it surveyed all present. Yang Na, clad in a snow-white suit, stood atop the serpent's head, looking down at the crowd below like ants. With a hearty laugh, she proclaimed loudly, "Five-Star Town Color, Illuminating the Netherworld, Thousand Gods and Myriad Spirits, protect my True Spirit. Giant Beast, subdue Five Warriors and Five Demons; Annihilation of Body and Form; wherever you are, Ten Thousand Gods Welcome. I am Laoshan Snake Charmer Yang Na, pleased to meet you all."
