"Ah!" With the ground heaving tumultuously, Tang Jing screamed in fright, then clung tightly to Chen Hao with both arms, nestling against him like a scared little bird.

At that moment, Xie Xiaofeng knelt on one knee on the ground, steadied himself and then looked ahead, his eyes filled with exhaustion. After taking a deep breath, he spread his left palm on the ground and shouted with the last of his mana, "Earth Spell, Stabilize the Mountains and Rivers!"

Subsequently, the area within the ring of fire calmed, contrasting sharply with the intensely shaking ground outside the circle.

"I can't go on," Xie Xiaofeng suddenly sat down on the ground, gasping for air deeply.

Just then, a figure descended rapidly from the sky, exuding a powerfully oppressive presence. In the blink of an eye, Tang Chao was inside the circle of fire.

Seeing his sister Tang Jing in Chen Hao's embrace, Tang Chao's face immediately showed his excitement, and he said, "Sister, are you alright?"

"Brother!" Tang Jing turned around abruptly, her eyes shimmering with tears. She released Chen Hao and threw herself into Tang Chao's arms. "Brother, I'm fine, I'm really fine!"

"Tang Chao, how is Yuqiao doing?" Chen Hao asked with a frown. The thought of Ye Yuqiao being alone in the hospital made him feel somewhat guilty.

As Tang Chao gently patted Tang Jing's back, he looked at Chen Hao and said, "The doctors are examining her now; she asked me to come help you guys."

"Good," Chen Hao nodded slightly, "You should quickly take Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing and go. It's enough to leave this place to me alone."

"Ah!" Tang Jing lifted her head from Tang Chao's embrace and looked at Chen Hao, shaking her head repeatedly, "Chen Hao, are you planning to face the Snake King alone?"

Chen Hao's resolute gaze twinkled with confidence as he declared, "Of course! If I can't deal with even a thousand-year-old snake demon, how can I talk about defeating King Ning!"

Tang Jing said nothing further, but smiled and nodded her head slightly. She believed that Chen Hao, who had saved her multiple times, would certainly turn the tide and defeat the Snake King.

"It's all up to you now!" Xie Xiaofeng said from behind Chen Hao. Though reluctant to leave, he had to since his Yang Energy was exhausted. He was very clear that among them, only Chen Hao was capable of facing the Snake King alone. However, he was confident that he would soon surpass Chen Hao because he - Xie Xiaofeng, was one of the rare geniuses in this world who had mastered the Yin Yang Five Elements Magic!

After Tang Chao had taken Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng, leaping into the night sky and disappearing, the ground outside the ring of fire shook even more violently, sending countless stones of diverse sizes airborne, and dust and smoke billowing from the fissures spread every which way.

Suddenly, a thunderous boom erupted, and a thick smoke rose about thirty meters in front of Chen Hao, soaring into the night sky like an unstoppable yellow dragon plunging into the eerie night.

The explosive sound persisted, bearing down on Chen Hao. The billowing smoke rose and spread in the air with the sound, forming a towering yellow wave. After a brief moment of stability, the ground beneath Chen Hao's feet once again began to tremble and shake.

Boom!

Chen Hao realized with alarm that the ground beneath the smoke had cracked open, a fissure over a meter wide heading straight toward where he stood, sending up myriad flying stones along with clouds of yellow dust.

Squinting through the wind that rushed headlong into him, he could smell a demonic aura.

The Snake King was the creator of the fissure, dragging its massive and slender form closer to Chen Hao. The billowing wave of dust and smoke it left in its wake bore down on him with a smothering force.

Suddenly, the Snake King's long body shot out from the midst of the dust, soaring straight into the sky. About thirteen meters in length, its back covered in golden patterns and its underbelly glowed with a dim yellow light, it resembled a dragon traversing the firmament, a sight to behold!

What struck Chen Hao the most about the Snake King was its pair of golden eyes, which looked exactly like Tang Jing's from earlier!

"Hiss!" The Snake King let out a roar, and it seemed that the very ground and the heavens trembled with the sound. Immediately after, the Snake King coiled its body and, dragging its long form, launched an assault on Chen Hao.

Chen Hao stared blankly as the Serpent King attacked, without any reaction.

The thick body of the Serpent King entangled Chen Hao completely, and then, with a squeeze, it crushed his flesh and blood body. In an instant, flesh and blood splattered.

When the Serpent King stretched out its body, only a mass of flesh soaked in crimson blood and a dark red, blood-stained wooden box remained on the ground.

The Serpent King roared to the sky, seeming unsatisfied. It hadn't expected that the youngster who had just forced its Yin Soul out with Yang Energy would be so easily defeated.

Just as the Serpent King was burrowing back into the earth through the large, narrow crack, a mocking voice suddenly rang out from behind it—"Snake spirit, did you really think I'd die that easily!"

The Serpent King turned around to see the mound of flesh and blood on the ground reassembling, quickly regaining the shape of that same youngster. It hissed excitedly at the sight.

Chen Hao closed his eyes and murmured a spell, pushing out the Yang Energy within him to gather above his head. Half a minute later, all the Yang Energy within him was expelled, forming a ten-meter-long Yang Energy sword above his head!

With a loud shout, the golden Yang Energy sword fell from above his head and plunged into the crack where the Serpent King was.

The Serpent King's eyes gleamed as it quickly flew away from the crack. But it was still a step too late—the last three meters of its tail were struck by the Yang Energy sword. After the sword struck, the Yang Energy burst fiercely, like an out-of-control cyclone.

After a startled hiss, the front half of the Serpent King's body thundered to the ground from two meters up in the air.

The ground of the entire park trembled once again!

After a long time, the heavy breathing of the Serpent King on the ground suddenly ceased.

"Is it dead just like that?" Chen Hao asked himself, frowning.

Pausing for a moment, his eyes sparkled with a cold light, and he shook his head as he answered himself, "No! It certainly won't be that simple."

Indeed!

Shortly after, the Serpent King's body began to tremble, more and more violently.

Next, Chen Hao watched as the layer of golden-patterned skin on the Serpent King's surface began to crack and peel off.

Gradually, a layer of crimson snake skin appeared, marked with several large black circles on the back. Unlike normal snake skin, the scales on this skin were large and thick, looking very sturdy, like a layer of armor.

After the golden-patterned skin completely fell off,

There was a "pop" sound as a pair of black wings unfurled. Except for the pair of golden eyes, the Serpent King looked completely different from before.

Although it was much thinner, the Serpent King now appeared more terrifying and more powerful.

The Serpent King gently fluttered its wings, shaking off the mucus that remained after its transformation.

Suddenly, the Serpent King shrieked, a sound reminiscent of an eagle's screech. Then, flapping its wings, it soared towards the sky...
