318: Heavenly Slash!

However, the Ni Lin Sword in Su Han's hand was like a nimble flood dragon, its sword shadows flickering.

Each attack landed precisely on the Black Water Mysterious Snake, adding several new wounds to its already scarred body.

The Black Water Mysterious Snake twisted its body in pain, letting out bursts of low roars, its furious voice echoing in the cave.

But just as Su Han was gaining the upper hand, his face suddenly turned somewhat grim.

Su Han's heart sank sharply; he felt his Spirit Energy inside his body being stirred by an invisible hand, becoming chaotic and unstable.

"Not good! How can my Spirit Energy become unstable at this time?"

Su Han cursed inwardly, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Before he could think of a countermeasure, the Spirit Energy maintaining his Faxiang state completely collapsed. His mountain-like tall body rapidly shrunk, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to his original slender appearance.

Su Han sighed helplessly, a wry smile on his face, but he also comforted himself inwardly:

"Fortunately, after the absorption just now, my Spirit Energy has recovered by more than half, so I won't be too pathetic."

As for the Black Water Mysterious Snake opposite him, seeing Su Han return to his original state, the fierce light in its already hostile eyes surged.

It raised its huge head high, a head the size of a small house, and suddenly opened its gaping maw. A thick black mist spewed out from its mouth, carrying a pungent, fishy smell.

The mist quickly spread, enveloping the entire cave in darkness, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of their face.

Within this black mist, countless black poison balls shot towards Su Han like rain.

Each poison ball emitted a nauseating stench, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to be corroded, making sizzling sounds.

Su Han's expression was solemn, his brows furrowed tightly into a ' river' shape, yet his eyes held determination.

He moved like a ghost, rapidly weaving through the cave, his footwork agile and varied, each dodge being a narrow escape.

He held the Ni Lin Sword tightly in his hand. The flame on the sword flickered in the darkness but continued to burn stubbornly, illuminating a small area around him.

"I can't just be held back by it like this."

Su Han thought to himself, a hint of defiance in his eyes.

While dodging the poison balls, he calculated countermeasures in his mind.

Su Han's hands moved quickly, and mysterious runes condensed at his fingertips.

Despite the constant flying poison balls, with a few even brushing past his clothes, he seemed detached, fully focused on setting up the formation.

The runes flickered with red light in mid-air, forming a stark contrast with the black mist, appearing particularly conspicuous.

Seeing that its poison ball attacks couldn't hit Su Han, the Black Water Mysterious Snake roared in anger.

Its massive body, once again, charged madly towards Su Han.

The cave shook violently under its impact, rocks constantly falling from the ceiling and walls, hitting the ground with dull thuds.

Su Han looked at the charging Black Water Mysterious Snake and cursed inwardly.

He quickly scanned his abilities, finding that almost all usable methods had been employed.

"Am I going to fall here today?"

A trace of despair welled up in Su Han's heart, but soon, his gaze fell upon the Ni Lin Sword in his hand.

"Right, if I remember correctly, the Ni Lin Sword gained a sword technique after the Heavenly Tribulation—Heavenly Chop!"

A ray of hope flashed in Su Han's eyes. He gripped the Ni Lin Sword tightly, and the flame on the sword instantly surged, as if responding to his resolve.

The Black Water Mysterious Snake had already charged in front of Su Han. It raised its huge head high, then slammed it downwards, aiming directly at the top of Su Han's head.

Su Han did not retreat. He took a deep breath, gathered all the Spirit Energy in his body onto the Ni Lin Sword. The Spirit Energy around him surged wildly, making crackling sounds, like an impending volcanic eruption.

At this moment, Su Han's hair danced wildly under the agitation of the Spirit Energy, his eyes burned with intense fighting spirit, and his face was slightly flushed from the convergence of power.

"Heavenly Chop!"

Su Han roared with all his might, his voice echoing in the cave, carrying endless momentum, as if it would tear the air apart.

With this roar, he raised the Ni Lin Sword high. In an instant, a violent power far beyond imagination surged out from the sword.

This power was like the roar of an ancient ferocious beast, carrying the will to destroy everything, slashing towards the Black Water Mysterious Snake with a speed and force that almost surpassed time.

Instantly, a dazzling white light burst forth from the sword's edge. This light was ten million times brighter than the most dazzling stars in the world, as if it were the energy release of the Big Bang, carrying the terrifying power to destroy the heavens and earth.

Wherever the light passed, space was instantly torn apart like fragile thin paper, making a horrifying 'sizzling' sound, the wail of space shattering.

The rocks in the cave, upon contact with this light, were instantly vaporized by the high temperature, leaving not a single trace of residue, directly turning into nothingness.

The entire cave was violently shaken by this power, rocks from the ceiling fell like a downpour, and huge cracks began to appear on the ground. The cracks rapidly spread, like the mouths of monstrous beasts, threatening to swallow everything.

The Black Water Mysterious Snake also seemed to sense the terror of this strike. A trace of extreme fear flashed in its originally fierce eyes. Its massive body instinctively wanted to dodge, but it found itself firmly locked by this unparalleled power; no matter how it struggled, it couldn't escape.

Under the pressure of this power, the scales on its body began to fall off piece by piece. Black blood seeped from the gaps between the scales, turning into a bloody mist that spread under the terrifying pressure.

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering roar, as if the Chaos of creation was shattering, or the final sound of the Universe's end, shook the entire cave until it was on the verge of collapsing, as if it could fall apart at any moment.

After the light dissipated, an unfathomably deep crack appeared on the Black Water Mysterious Snake's body.

Black blood continuously surged out from the crack like a raging torrent, dripping onto the ground and making sizzling corrosive sounds. A strong smell of blood instantly permeated the entire cave, making one nauseous.

Although the Black Water Mysterious Snake's body suffered heavy damage, its tenacious vitality was beyond imagination.

Despite the shocking cracks on its body and the black blood flowing like a spring, it still let out low and angry roars. That sound echoed in the cave, carrying endless resentment.

Su Han looked at the giant beast before him that had not yet fallen, his heart filled with helplessness and exhaustion.

That earth-shattering "Heavenly Chop" just now had almost drained all his strength.

But the Black Water Mysterious Snake clearly wouldn't let him go just because he was tired. It propped up its injured body and slowly moved its massive form again, approaching Su Han.

"It seems this is the last resort."

Su Han thought to himself. At this moment, he understood that he had no other choice. (End of this chapter)
