Chapter 161: Pursuit and Kill
Zhui Tou no longer insisted on his stubbornness, instead, he slightly slowed down his speed.
After the time it took to burn half an incense stick, the passageway finally came to an end. Ahead of them lay a dimly lit water area with rushing river water flowing swiftly forward.
“It seems this is an underground river, but I wonder where it leads?” Shen Luo scanned his surroundings, murmuring to himself.
The turbulent current pummeled against his body, trying to sweep him downstream, but once he activated the Water Repelling Technique, he was able to resist the force of the surge.
“Where’s this so-called Snake Demon? I haven’t even seen a single scale!” Zhui Tou stood steady in the middle of the underground river, swaying his pointed and slender head from side to side and complaining loudly.
Just as Shen Luo was about to speak, a sharp yellow figure shot out incredibly fast from the depths of the underground river, leaving a trail of blurry afterimages before slamming into his chest with a muffled “thud.”
Thrown back like he was struck by a hammer, Shen Luo staggered back several steps. The protective shield over his body flickered violently but quickly regained its calm.
Zhui Tou reacted swiftly. As Shen Luo was forced back, he had already raised the Wave-breaking Hammer and savagely smashed it towards the yellow figure.
The Wave-breaking Hammer swung, leaving a trail of a white arch in the water.
