Chapter 145 Support
A cold wind blew in gusts, stirring the endless darkness; the bright area was now less than ten meters wide.
"Hmph, I really underestimated you." A vicious voice came from beneath Qin Xiaochuan's feet, and at the same time, the python's huge tail swept towards him with a whooshing sound.
Qin Xiaochuan pushed off with his feet, flying backward and landing on a rock. The python also stood up again, blood flowing continuously from its jaws to its belly.
"Damn it, to be beaten like this by a level 5 spirit mage!" the python said angrily. "But I finally understand why Gangmu failed. You are indeed stronger than them."
"You've finally learned your lesson, but it's too late," Qin Xiaochuan replied coldly.
"Too late? Haha!" Kawamoto Taro laughed as if he had heard something unbelievable.
"You really don't know how to reflect on your actions? Didn't I tell you not to be so smug?"
"This isn't smugness, it's a demonstration of strength. Even if I admit you're stronger than Gangmu, so what?" The python looked at me with disdain. "You got the upper hand just now, do you really think you can beat me? Haha."
"Who knows? This is not important at all." Qin Xiaochuan ignored his sarcasm.
"Then why are you still struggling here?" Kawamoto Taro stopped laughing and asked, puzzled.
"Why haven't you realized this yet? This isn't a struggle," he said coldly.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"The reason I said it doesn't matter is because, regardless of whether I can beat you or not, I'm going to kill you." With that, he charged at Kawamoto Taro again.
"Haha, you really dare to talk so arrogantly. I'd like to see what you're capable of to kill me." Kawamoto Taro couldn't help but laugh loudly, and when he lowered his head, six white spiritual energy balls appeared in his mouth at the same time.
"Although I don't know what your defensive skill is, the more powerful the skill, the more spiritual energy it consumes. With your current strength, you can only activate it once at most. As long as I keep attacking, I will eventually be able to deplete it."
"Blazing Dance!" Qin Xiaochuan quickly intercepted two steam bombs in mid-air, while raising the Xuanwu Shield to block the remaining four bombs. He then used the same technique again, using the impact of the steam bombs to quickly reach the python. Just as he was about to punch its jaw again, the python suddenly opened its mouth, and a white mist rushed towards him.
At the critical moment, Qin Xiaochuan kicked off the snake's belly and performed a backflip to barely dodge the white mist, just as the python opened its mouth to bite him.
"Blazing Dance!" He released a fireball into the snake's mouth, and the python's tail suddenly lashed out, coiling into a fleshy shield in front of it. Qin Xiaochuan pushed off the shield and returned to his original position.
Just then, he noticed a layer of white mist rising beneath his feet, and Kawamoto Taro's demon mask had somehow flown back to his side.
Qin Xiaochuan cast a "Blazing Dance" at his feet to dispel the white mist, and at that moment, the snake's tail lashed out at him like a shadow.
"Hurricane Blade!" Suddenly, a huge wind blade sliced across Qin Xiaochuan's side and struck the snake's tail head-on.
Bang! A sharp wind blade flashed by, and a thick, long snake tail flew into the sky.
"I finally made it."
"You've arrived," Qin Xiaochuan said without turning his head.
Three figures emerged from the darkness beside them: Han Kexin, Zhou Bin, and Guo Shiyi. The three of them surrounded the python in the center.
"Wow, there's such a thick python!" Guo Shiyi exclaimed.
"It's no ordinary python," Qin Xiaochuan said speechlessly.
"Hmph! You guys got here pretty quickly," Kawamoto Taro sneered.
"Ah! The python can talk!" Guo Shiyi stared at the python in disbelief.
"To be precise, it's a snake demon, but we have to put that aside for now. Go and check on Xiaoying quickly."
"What's wrong with Xiaoying?" she asked, puzzled, but immediately ran towards Xiaoying. Feifei had already run to the little girl's side and was licking her wound with her tongue.
"Ah, how did she get so badly injured? Was it this snake demon?" Before she could finish speaking, Han Kexin dodged past, followed quickly by her furious shout: "Qin Xiaochuan—what happened?"
"I failed to protect her." Qin Xiaochuan clenched his fists, offering no rebuttal.
"Did it do this?" Han Kexin asked coldly as she walked towards Kawamoto Taro.
"Who told her to be so stubborn?" Kawamoto Taro said, flicking his tongue, his cold eyes sweeping over everyone in front of him, showing no fear despite the numerical advantage of the other side.
"What on earth is going on? Why did a snake demon suddenly appear?" Guo Shiyi still looked completely bewildered.
"Haven't you realized yet? This snake demon is that Japanese man," Han Kexin said.
"Huh?" Guo Shiyi stared at the python in shock, unable to utter a single word.
"How dare you hurt Xiaoying like that! It's unforgivable!" Han Kexin stared fiercely at Kawamoto Taro, her hands beginning to form hand seals.
"How dare you hurt Xiaoying like that! It's unforgivable!" Han Kexin stared fiercely at Kawamoto Taro, her hands beginning to form hand seals.
"Don't interfere!" Qin Xiaochuan reached out to stop her, saying forcefully, "I want to kill him myself!"
"Hmm?" Han Kexin frowned and looked at him.
"Are you crazy? Your opponent is a level 7 spirit mage!" Guo Shiyi shouted at him.
"No matter who he is, I will not let him get away with hurting this little girl."
Guo Shiyi and Han Kexin remained silent, which was taken as an agreement.
"Haha, are you courting death?" Kawamoto Taro couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh wildly, then his expression changed. "If you all come at me together, I am indeed no match for you, but you, with a mere level 5 spiritual power—you dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me." He shouted his last sentence almost hoarsely.
"You'll soon find out whether you're spouting nonsense or not." Qin Xiaochuan roared, blasting away the mist spewed out by the ghost mask next to him with a 'Blazing Dance'. "You still want to sneak up on me like this? I've already seen through your skills." As he spoke, he charged at him again, releasing another 'Blazing Dance' towards the snake's head at the same time.
"So what if you've seen through it? With your current level, how can you possibly break the Wood Demon?" With a mocking tone from Kawamoto Taro, the Oni Mask was summoned back, and a gray vortex immediately appeared beside him.
Qin Xiaochuan completely disregarded the existence of the matryoshka doll and continued to rush towards him. In a moment, a huge attraction enveloped his body.
"Watch out for his nesting dolls!" Guo Shiyi shouted from behind, but it was too late. Just as the gray vortex was about to engulf him, Qin Xiaochuan channeled the spiritual power from the witch's ring into his body, and the attraction surrounding him instantly disappeared. Then he kicked off the nesting dolls, and his body immediately turned towards the snake's head.
Bang! He punched him in the jaw again.
"Didn't I tell you I've already seen through your skills!" he roared, then repeated his old trick, unleashing a barrage of punches.
