Chapter 1441: Chapter 1441: Opportunity

"Senior Sister Sun, to be honest with you, when I was in the Minor World, I had an extraordinary encounter, and my constitution can resist all poisons. The poison of that Twin-Headed Serpent has no effect on me!"

Ignoring the disdain of the Medicine King Mountain disciples towards him, Fang Bai smiled and said to Sun Lin.

Sun Lin’s eyes brightened, and she said, "Junior Brother Fang, that Twin-Headed Serpent’s poison is extremely virulent. Are you truly unafraid?"

Fang Bai said, "Rest assured, I wouldn’t gamble with my own life."

Sun Lin happily said, "That’s wonderful then."

She paused and continued, "However... the Twin-Headed Serpent is very powerful in attack. Its fangs can crush stones weighing thousands of pounds, and its tail can sweep away trees with thick trunks. You might not fear its poison, but how can you withstand its attacks?"

Fang Bai laughed and said, "That’s even less of a problem. Elder Sun should have mentioned to you that I have a Furnace Cauldron, right? My Furnace is exceptionally sturdy; not to mention a Twin-Headed Serpent with only the initial Foundation Establishment realm power, even a Spirit Beast of the mid-Foundation Establishment realm cannot harm it in the slightest! I’m quite safe hiding inside the Furnace Cauldron to attack the serpent."

Indeed, when Sun Jing had talked about Fang Bai with her granddaughter Sun Lin, she had mentioned Fang Bai owning a Furnace Cauldron and even marveled at his extraordinary talent to concoct Spirit Pills at such a young age.

"In that case, I’ll leave it to Junior Brother Fang. Just... be very careful. If things are beyond reach, retreat immediately; do not be reckless, understood?"

Sun Lin spoke seriously to Fang Bai.

With Fang Bai’s safety assured, Sun Lin felt reassured and agreed to let him attack the Twin-Headed Serpent to draw and distract its attention, thus creating an opportunity for others to strike and aim for a lethal blow to the serpent.

With a light hum, Fang Bai summoned the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron and held it with both hands, using his strength to fiercely strike the furnace towards the Twin-Headed Serpent.

At the moment the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron was launched, Fang Bai’s figure accelerated abruptly, leaping into the space inside the Furnace Cauldron.

Having long been in sync with the Artifact Spirit born within the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, Fang Bai could control the Furnace as easily as if moving his own limbs.

Though inside the cauldron, with a minor thought, the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron rotated rapidly by his will, smashing towards the Twin-Headed Serpent at an even faster speed.

The Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, being the supreme Divine Artifact, though its power now is far less than its peak, the ancient-like pressure it released during Fang Bai’s attack caused a trace of fear in the Twin-Headed Serpent.

The Twin-Headed Serpent’s two heads opened wide simultaneously, spewing two clouds of dark poison mist towards the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron in hopes of eroding and destroying it.

When the two dark poison clouds merged into one, encasing the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron with Fang Bai inside, the hearts of Sun Lin and others were in their throats.

"Hum!"

A resonant sound echoed as the poison mist scattered in all directions; the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron remained intact, continuing towards the Twin-Headed Serpent.

Seeing the poison mist fail, the Twin-Headed Serpent’s eyes glinted with ferocity. Its body twisted violently, and the tail as thick as a man’s waist arched upward, thunderingly lashing towards the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron.

The gigantic tail moved with an overwhelming force of more than ten thousand pounds, causing Sun Lin and others to suck in a breath of cold air. They thought, if it were them, they would probably fail to dodge and be sent flying, severely injured.

Just as the Twin-Headed Serpent’s massive tail was about to strike the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, the cauldron, moving at high speed, abruptly swerved upwards, narrowly evading the tail by rising several feet.

Seeing this, Sun Lin and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Fang Bai and the Furnace had reached a state of seamless integration and superb control.

The Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron ascended higher, causing the Twin-Headed Serpent to lift its head.

In doing so, its vulnerable spot seven inches below its neck was exposed to Chang Shan and the others.

"Attack!"

Knowing this was a fleeting chance, Chang Shan and the others turned their Spiritual Artifacts into streaks of rainbows, shooting them towards the serpent’s weak point.

The Twin-Headed Serpent, quick to react, realized danger was near and swiftly dropped its raised head.

In the sound of "ding-dong," the Spiritual Artifacts of Chang Shan and others hit the serpent’s head scales and fell down.

"Sigh..."

Missing an excellent opportunity to slay the Twin-Headed Serpent, Chang Shan and others sighed, recalling their Spiritual Artifacts with a wave.

"Don’t worry, seize the chance again!"

Fang Bai, inside the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, inwardly regretted and shouted to encourage the somewhat disheartened Chang Shan and the rest.

He maneuvered the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron around the two heads of the Twin-Headed Serpent, creating opportunities for Chang Shan, Sun Lin, and others to launch another attack.

Afterward, Chang Shan and the others gained several more attack opportunities but, unfortunately, were always just a bit short of hitting the serpent’s vital point.

The Twin-Headed Serpent, while dealing with the attacks of spiritual artifacts from Chang Shan and others, also had to contend with the intimidating Furnace hovering above it, growing weary and restless over time.

Finally, Chang Shan and Sun Lin seized the optimal opportunity, striking simultaneously. Their sword-type spirit weapons pierced through the Twin-Headed Serpent’s defenses almost simultaneously, driving several feet deep into its fatal spot.

"It’s done!"

Chang Shan and Sun Lin shouted in excitement.

The other disciples of Medicine King Mountain and Lingxu Palace also cheered.

They knew that now that the Twin-Headed Serpent was gravely injured, it would be much easier to bring it down completely.

However, although the serpent’s critical point was wounded, it wasn’t dead yet. Enraged, it abandoned Fang Bai, and its nearly three-zhang long body rolled madly on the ground, crushing towards Chang Shan and the others.

Amidst the serpent’s rolling, poisonous blood and dark poison mist filled the air.

Chang Shan and the others didn’t have Fang Bai’s poison immunity. They had either to retreat far away or form wings of spiritual energy to fly high, avoiding the frenzied attacks of the mindless serpent, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Within a few dozen breaths, the trees, stones, and earth within a hundred-meter radius were razed to the ground by the rampaging and tumbling Twin-Headed Serpent, leaving behind a nauseating poisonous stench.

After a hundred breaths, the Twin-Headed Serpent lay twitching on the ground, appearing near death.

Fang Bai, controlling the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, was about to land beside the serpent’s massive heads to extract its Spirit Core, when suddenly the serpent’s tightly shut eyes snapped open, glinting with a sly light.

"No good, it’s a trap!"

Fang Bai didn’t expect the Twin-Headed Serpent to be so cunning, managing to hide its Spirit Beast aura so well that even he was fooled into believing it truly had no strength left to fight.

Fang Bai reacted quickly. The instant the serpent’s eyes opened, he directed the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron upwards, hoping to escape the serpent’s counterattack.

The upper half of the Twin-Headed Serpent’s body sprung up like it was installed with springs, opening its mouth wide and, to the astonishment of Chang Shan, Sun Lin, and the others, biting the large Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, intending to swallow it whole.
