Chapter 1559 - 1560: The White Python's Threat
Cook let out a cold laugh, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Smo, kill him!"
Smo nodded and placed a pill into his mouth.
In an instant, his aura surged violently: "Kid, daring to oppose me and even injure me, I must settle this score with you thoroughly. Being my enemy is the most foolish decision of your life."
As he spoke, Smo reached out towards Lin Chen: "I want to refine you into a corpse puppet and make you my eternal slave."
With the pill in his mouth, Smo's previously injured body was fully restored, and his presence was even more formidable than before.
Surges of spiritual power erupted unabated from within his body.
In an instant, a series of violent spiritual storms enveloped the entire valley.
"Tch!"
Lin Chen smirked slightly at the astonished Clara: "You guys deal with Cook's gang; leave this kid to me."
Clara asked hesitantly, "Chen Lin, can you handle that guy?"
"He's just an arrogant piece of trash." Lin Chen smiled faintly. Back when he faced a God Realm expert like Yuan Tiangang, he could retreat unscathed, so why would this little Soul Master concern him?
As he spoke, Lin Chen was already stepping towards Smo.
Though Lin Chen's words carried some arrogance, those who heard knew it wasn't arrogance, but true confidence.
As the two sides squared off, tensions high, suddenly a cold laugh rang out.
"Kid, if you hand over those two fruits in your hand to me, I can help you kill that group of people." Atop a cliff, a white python began to speak in human words.
Having consumed the Spirit Fruit, its power advanced even further, allowing the white python to speak, indicating it had reached Demigod realm.
The white python's body trembled violently, shedding its skin bit by bit; with the serpentine skin discarded, a beautiful woman emerged.
The woman wore nothing, her figure dangerously shapely, her exquisite beauty left all the men present drooling.
Her body glimmering with dazzling light, a faint smile on her lips, though the smile was chilling, making all present shudder.
"The white python has transformed into a human form."
All faces displayed shock.
And many men were ignited with desire by the beauty that had taken human form.
Lin Chen's gaze focused on the white python in human form. Though alluring, the cunning and fierceness in her eyes made it clear she was formidable.
Noticing the crude gazes, the white python gestured, and the python's skin turned into a white veil draping over her.
Lin Chen snorted coldly: "Thank you, miss, for your kind offer, but I can handle these people."
"You're refusing me, then?" The white python stepped lightly, teasingly eyeing Lin Chen.
She seemed to have expected Lin Chen wouldn't accept her help and said calmly, "Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink, I'll have to take the spirit fruit by force myself."
As her words fell, the white python licked her cherry lips, a white long whip appearing in her hand.
"You vile humans dare to take my spirit fruit, everyone here will die today, and you'll be the first." Her voice carried an eerie quality.
Seeing this sudden twist, Cook's lips curled into a sinister smile. The unexpected appearance of the white python was a pleasant surprise for him; if he wasn't confident in killing Lin Chen before, now with the white python angered, Lin Chen's death seemed certain.
"Chen Lin, what should we do?" Clara's face darkened at the situation.
Knowing Cook and Smo were difficult enough, and now with a Demigod realm white python added, it seemed a death trap.
"Nothing, I'll handle the white python and Smo, you deal with Cook."
To Clara's surprise, Lin Chen responded calmly without panic.
"You're going to fight two at once?"
Clara thought she misheard.
She expected Lin Chen to suggest retreating, but he seemed unfazed by the dire situation.
"You really can handle both of them?" Clara asked skeptically.
The members of Xue Meng felt everything unreal, how strong was this guy to take on two, was he crazy?
"Brother Chen Lin, don't push yourself. If you can't, just give them the fruit?" Mu Ya also voiced her concern.
Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Mu Ya, you're too naive. Even if we give them the fruit, they won't spare us."
Speaking, Lin Chen walked towards the white python under mocking gazes, smiling faintly: "I, Chen Lin, have a bad habit of not spitting out what I swallow, so if you want the spirit fruit, let's see your capabilities, but a warning, this price is beyond you."
The onlookers shook their heads at Lin Chen's arrogant words.
This kid was excessively arrogant, almost beyond reason.
After all, Lin Chen's strength was only in the early True God Realm, while the white python in human form matched a Demigod in power.
The gap was immense; Lin Chen's bold words seemed like a child's vain hope to defeat an adult.
"Heh, I heard humans boast, but I've never seen it to such extremes; since you wish to die, I'll oblige." The white python laughed heartily, as if hearing a hilariously absurd story.
But after laughing, her beautiful face turned sinisterly cold, an overwhelming aura radiating.
Everyone knew the white python was furious.
"Idiot, seeking death by provoking such a formidable foe." A wicked smile played on Cook's lips.
"Haha, that's best; when they fight, I can sneak attack to kill him and reclaim the spirit fruit." Smo sneered from the side.
"Whiish!"
Under wary gazes, the white python finally struck, her whip lashed out like a white lightning bolt at Lin Chen.
Seeing the white whip, Lin Chen smiled faintly and swiftly retreated.
"Crack!"
The rock beneath Lin Chen crumbled to powder.
Almost simultaneously, Lin Chen's eyes flashed gold, and a golden net swiftly enveloped the white python.
Whoosh, the white python vanished into thin air, disappearing from this space.
"What!" Everyone's gazes locked in surprise.
"What just happened?"
