Chapter 624: Chapter 624

A man and a woman passed by the broken wall and the shrine, and the silhouette of an old forest house was already appearing ahead.

Duan Yun had to admit, this place looked like the most haunted house since Yuzhu Manor.

The wooden door and walls of the house were covered with moss, looking like sinister faces of ghosts.

Two red lanterns, long wet and rotten from the rain, swayed in the wind, full of eerie ghostly vibes.

Little Yin pushed the door, and it wasn’t even locked, swinging open instantly.

In sight was a courtyard, filled with weeds half a man’s height, causing Little Yin to unconsciously step aside.

On the ground, there was a dead toad.

This kind of environment easily harbors snakes, and at this moment, Little Yin smelled a stronger snake stench.

After carrying Duan Yun about fifty steps forward, even Duan Yun smelled the strong snake stench, let alone Little Yin who had a keen sense of smell.

A road-worn hall lay in front amidst the wild grass.

At Duan Yun’s request, Little Yin continued forward.

Just as they approached the hall, Duan Yun suddenly stretched out his hand.

Two poisonous snakes slithered out from under the eaves, not even having the chance to bite before being pinched by Duan Yun.

Duan Yun twisted his fingers, as Sword Qi erupted, and the snakes were thrown to the ground, already dead.

These snakes had triangular heads and green-yellow patterns all over, clearly very poisonous.

By this time, Little Yin had reached the entrance of the hall.

The next moment, her breath almost stopped.

Little Yin was quite afraid of snakes, even if she had the ability to easily kill them.

And at this moment, the hall had quite a few snakes.

The roof of the hall had collapsed on one side, and the pale moonlight shone down, revealing a truly shocking scene.

At first glance, there were hundreds of red and green poisonous snakes.

More horrifying were the corpses inside the hall.

Inside the hall were corpses, some old, some new; the old ones were mere skeletons and the new ones still hung with flesh, faces full of holes due to the snakes slithering in and out.

About a hundred skeletons almost covered the entire floor of the hall.

They became beds for the poisonous snakes.

The whole hall was a nest for these snakes.

The snakes sensed the presence of Duan Yun and Little Yin, turning their heads.

They weren’t afraid of people, instead rising up, sticking out their tongues, looking fierce.

Looking at the room full of corpses, Duan Yun couldn’t help but say, "Truly apocalyptic evil."

These should be the travelers who disappeared on Green Jade Ridge.

Duan Yun tugged Little Yin’s twin ponytails, signaling her to go inside.

Little Yin gritted her teeth and walked in.

In the next moment, all the snakes closed in.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded.

Yes, a whistle, coming from a snake.

It was a rather thick poisonous snake, with a red crown on its head, looking like a commanding general.

What terrified Little Yin more was that as the whistle sounded, all the snakes in the hall surged towards them.

The snakes were going to kill!

Little Yin instinctively crouched to tear apart the attacking snakes.

But before she could, a humming sound suddenly rang above her head.

The sound was like a swarm of bees vibrating their wings, not loud, but very dense.

In the next moment, more dense than the vibration was the flying Sword Qi.

"Death Qi Breaking Body Sword Energy!"

As the Breaking Body Sword Energy flew from Duan Yun, it quickly merged with the death qi of the surrounding corpses, turning ominously black.

The snake swarm charged in, met instantly by the cracking sound.

Silken Breaking Body Sword Energy erupted from Duan Yun, rushing towards the attacking snakes.

If the snakes surged like a wave, then the Breaking Body Sword Energy from Duan Yun was the same.

The two waves clashed instantly, biting like living creatures.

The Breaking Body Sword Energy stabbed the attacking snakes into a thousand gouges, their blood turning into mist as soon as it appeared, shredded by the dense Sword Qi.

The leading snake saw this, swung its crown, and whistled again.

It seemed to realize Duan Yun’s prowess, thus ordered again.

The previously fierce snakes began retreating towards the corpses and the ground.

Seeing this, Duan Yun exclaimed, "Trying to escape?"

Saying this, he wrapped himself in Breaking Body Sword Energy and leaped.

In Little Yin’s eyes, he had already turned into a Sword Man.

At Duan Yun’s command, he had already slammed onto the ground, the black Breaking Body Sword Energy rippling out like waves.

Only then did Little Yin realize the jump was meant for her, quickly getting up and leaping. Updates are released by novel·fıre·net

As she jumped, the sharp Breaking Body Sword Energy flew past her feet, carrying a terrifying chill.

After Duan Yun landed, the Sword Qi around him dispersed like ripples, transforming him from a "Sword Man" into a "Man".

But as he jumped again, the Sword Qi encircled him once more, changing him from a "Man" back into a "Sword Man".

Duan Yun landed four times, each time sending out waves of Sword Qi.

Where the ripples passed, poisonous snakes were pierced through, dying with countless wounds.

Apart from the first time, Little Yin no longer needed to remind; as Duan Yun landed, she also jumped up, working in unison.

Under these dense and sharp Sword Qi assaults, the snakes were nearly all killed or wounded.

Yet one snake managed to survive.

It was the poisonous snake leader with a crown on its head.

It seemed to have intelligence; each time the Sword Qi ripple came, its body would leap to avoid it, its reaction speed not much slower than Little Yin’s.

After dodging the fourth wave of attacks, the snake leader jumped, burrowing into the mutilated face of a corpse, trying to escape amidst the chaos.

Duan Yun had been watching it all along and kicked with a Toe Sword.

With a snap, the Toe Sword shattered the corpse, and the injured snake leader flew out.

After it landed, it still struggled to flee, but this time, Duan Yun had already arrived, his fingers clamping onto the snake’s weak point like lightning.

Between his fingers came a slippery, cold sensation.

Indeed, this snake was worthy of being a leader with such attributes.

Under Duan Yun’s powerful Finger Strength, normally even a python would weaken if its weak point was gripped, but this crowned snake continued to fiercely twist its body, attempting to bite Duan Yun.

Duan Yun’s remaining left hand reached out, aiming to grip its triangular head.

Who would have thought this was a feint.

Yes, the snake feinted, and Duan Yun’s right hand was suddenly empty.

Because at that moment, the Chicken-crowned Snake twisted and broke its body, choosing to break free and escape.

Duan Yun was aware of lizards sacrificing their tails to survive, but it was the first time he encountered a snake sacrificing its body for survival, severing at its most vulnerable weak point.

After the snake broke its body, it shot down like a flying sword, trying to burrow into the earth to escape, but in the next moment, its body became immovable.

The soft snake had become as hard as a stick.

All because Duan Yun, who couldn’t grab this severed snake with his hands, still had his feet.

He just used a Toe Sword, the shoe surface broke with a hole, exposing two toes.

Now those two toes clamped the severed snake body, performing the "Heart-to-Heart Clasp", thus the snake’s Qi and blood were nearly clamped, hardening.

After two breaths, Duan Yun relaxed his toes, reached out his hand, and once more clamped the snake trying to escape with its severed body.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, and in Little Yin’s eyes, Duan Yun’s fluid movements could be described with one word.

Now, this crowned snake could no longer escape.

Even as a snake, after being clamped, its face showed an expression of shock.

Yes, the snake seemed to have an expression.

Duan Yun applied force to his hand, and a whistle sounded again.

At this moment, the snake’s mouth opened, revealing inside, at the lower jaw position, a delicate iron whistle.

Someone had embedded an iron whistle inside the snake’s mouth.

This was why the snake could whistle.

Thinking of how this snake relied on whistling to lead other snakes, killing passersby one by one for a lair, Duan Yun’s eyes filled with disgust.

His fingertip emitted Sword Qi, ready to send this snake on its way.

But then, the whistle in the snake’s mouth vibrated, unexpectedly it produced a sound—"Sister."

"I love you, sister!"

"I want to be with you forever."

The voice sounded like a young woman’s, quite pleasant.

This snake could even imitate human speech through the whistle.

But it kept repeating these words and phrases, as if mimicking someone.

Who was it mimicking?

The Green and White Snake Demon!

Duan Yun already had the answer in his mind.

He took a step forward.

There, was the place this snake had originally tried to flee to.

As he lifted his foot and stepped down.

With a rumble, the ground collapsed, and his whole body fell downward.

He had already discovered that beneath here, it was hollow.

The snake was trying to run below because it was their true lair, wasn’t it?
