315: Baguio's determination

Inside the cave, the atmosphere was as tense as a drawn bowstring.

Bi Yao's attack was completely unable to shake the Black Water Mysterious Snake, and it seemed to always regard only Su Han as its great enemy.

However, Bi Yao's attack still caused it to briefly pause.

It first whipped its tail, dispersing Bi Yao's attack, and then charged towards Su Han again.

Boom boom boom...

As it advanced, the ground began to tremble again. Its vertical pupils were locked tightly onto Su Han, revealing fierce killing intent – a determination to kill.

As if declaring that the two people before it had no chance of survival.

"This Black Water Mysterious Snake is too powerful..."

Bi Yao watched this scene, her eyes filled with helplessness, but more so with determination.

On the other side, Su Han knew time was short. While bracing himself and preparing to use the Ni Lin Sword to block the Black Water Mysterious Snake's attack, he quietly sped up the process of setting up the Formation.

"Don't panic, I must succeed."

Su Han secretly encouraged himself in his heart. He knew that once the Formation was complete, perhaps they could turn the tide of the battle.

Boom—!

At this moment, the Black Water Mysterious Snake's thick tail began to relentlessly lash towards Su Han.

At the same time, the surrounding stone walls were also affected. Each strike shook the cave violently, causing rocks to fall.

Su Han dodged the falling boulders from above while also dealing with the Black Water Mysterious Snake's attacks, finding himself in perilous situations for a time.

Just then, Su Han felt a slight disturbance in the Spirit Energy within his body.

After several exchanges with the Black Water Mysterious Snake earlier, he had already consumed a large amount of Spirit Energy. Now having to simultaneously maintain the Great Sun True Flame and set up the Formation, his body was gradually starting to give out.

But he understood that if he stopped now, both he and Bi Yao would lose their lives.

He gritted his teeth, forcibly circulated the Spirit Energy within his body, and simultaneously grabbed a handful of pills, only then managing to calm the chaotic Spirit Energy.

"Su Han, how are you doing?"

Bi Yao, seeing Su Han's difficult situation from the side, was filled with anxiety in her heart. She shouted loudly, her eyes full of worry.

"I'm fine, be careful!"

Su Han shouted back, but his gaze never left the Black Water Mysterious Snake.

However, Bi Yao saw Su Han's danger.

She gritted her teeth, disregarded her own safety, and poured all her Spirit Energy into the heartbreak flower.

Instantly, the heartbreak flower shone brightly, countless pink petals swirling and dancing around her body, then surging towards the Black Water Mysterious Snake like a pink torrent.

This time, the Black Water Mysterious Snake finally felt a hint of threat. Its movements paused slightly, and its massive head quickly swayed, attempting to avoid the attack of the pink petals.

Taking advantage of this brief gap, Su Han rapidly changed his hand seals. The runes on the ground shone even brighter, echoing the Spirit Energy surging from within him.

Seeing this, the Black Water Mysterious Snake let out an angry roar. It suddenly leaped its entire body high into the air, then slammed down fiercely towards Su Han and Bi Yao.

Its massive body was like a black mountain peak, bringing with it a suffocating sense of oppression.

Su Han's expression was solemn. He quickly pulled the Ni Lin Sword from the ground, and the Great Sun True Flame burned fiercely on the sword body.

Bi Yao also came to Su Han's side. She held the heartbreak flower tightly, her eyes full of determination, standing shoulder to shoulder with Su Han, ready to face the impending crisis together.

Su Han's eyes burned with fervent fighting spirit, staring intently at the Black Water Mysterious Snake as it slammed down like a mountain.

He took a deep breath, and the Spirit Energy around him surged like a raging tide, converging on the Ni Lin Sword.

The Great Sun True Flame burned fiercely on the sword edge, crackling and popping, the high temperature it emitted distorting the surrounding air.

"Slash!"

With a fierce shout, Su Han poured all the strength of his body into this single sword strike. The sword momentum was unstoppable, thrusting straight towards the Black Water Mysterious Snake.

However, the reaction speed of this ancient variant was beyond imagination.

Just as the Ni Lin Sword was about to touch the snake's body at the critical moment, the Black Water Mysterious Snake's massive body suddenly twisted like a nimble swimming fish.

Su Han's strike, containing his full strength, merely grazed its scales, which were like forged steel, only splashing a string of dazzling sparks. At the same time, a powerful recoil force came from the sword body.

Su Han's arms instantly went numb from the shock, and he uncontrollably retreated several steps. With each step, deep footprints were left in the hard rock beneath his feet, and shattered stones flew.

Bi Yao witnessed this scene from the side, a trace of anxiety flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She bit her lower lip tightly, her tender pink cheeks slightly flushed from the effort, and she let out a sweet shout: "Damn it, watch me!"

The heartbreak flower in her hand instantly shone brightly, its petals trembling slightly, as if accumulating endless power.

She bent her legs, exerted force fiercely, and leaped high like an agile swallow. The heartbreak flower thrust fiercely towards the Black Water Mysterious Snake's seven-inch weak spot.

The Black Water Mysterious Snake's massive head twisted around like lightning.

It opened its gaping maw, revealing chillingly sharp fangs, and emitting a foul stench from its mouth, biting fiercely towards Bi Yao with a posture as if to swallow her whole.

Bi Yao was startled, but she was not afraid. She quickly adjusted her posture in the air, turning lightly like willow catkins in the wind.

Her hair danced freely in the air, her eyes revealing determination and courage.

While avoiding the Black Water Mysterious Snake's attack, she used all her strength to fiercely insert the heartbreak flower into the side of the snake's body.

However, the Black Water Mysterious Snake's outer skin was harder than imagined. The heartbreak flower only pierced in an inch and could not go any deeper.

"How can it be so hard!"

Bi Yao marveled inwardly, her face full of unwillingness.

The Black Water Mysterious Snake cried out in pain, letting out a deafening roar.

It frantically thrashed its massive body, like an enraged black dragon.

Bi Yao was completely unable to resist this immense force. She was directly flung away like a kite with a broken string.

Su Han had been keeping an eye on Bi Yao's safety. Seeing this situation, the instant Bi Yao was flung out, his figure flickered like a ghost, instantly appearing behind her.

He stretched out his arms and steadily caught Bi Yao, his face full of concern: "Bi Yao, are you alright?"

Bi Yao shook her head, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, her eyes revealing worry: "I'm fine."

Before the two had even found their footing, the Black Water Mysterious Snake's thick tail swept towards them like a giant black club, bringing with it the sound of rushing wind.

Su Han's expression changed drastically. Without time to think further, he tightly shielded Bi Yao in his embrace, pushed off the ground with his feet, and rolled on the spot with her.

The tail swept past their backs, bringing a powerful gust of wind that caused their clothes to flap loudly.

"No, this won't work. Its defense is too strong!"

Bi Yao gasped for breath, her face filled with anxiety and helplessness.

Su Han looked resolutely at the Black Water Mysterious Snake charging again, and said in a deep voice: "Now we can only delay. We'll only have a chance when my Formation is complete!"

As he spoke, he circulated the Spirit Energy within his body to its limit. The Great Sun True Flame burned fiercely around him, dispelling some of the surrounding darkness. (End of Chapter)
