The three women standing nearby were dumbfounded, never expecting such a turn of events. This terrifying monster had actually been tormented so badly by Zu An using the Hun Tian Ling.
However, all of them were experts, and without the slightest hesitation, they launched their attacks while the Nine-Headed Serpent was weakened.
The nine-headed creature was clearly both shocked and furious, its nine heads roaring angrily at the group, but it was obviously much more weakened than before.
It couldn't even defeat a few people just now, and it was no match for them now. It quickly retreated and its heads exploded one by one.
Blood splattered from the severed neck, and it never grew back.
Seeing its swaying precarious state, Zuan instantly teleported to its side, holding a poisoned dagger, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
However, just as he was about to thrust out that sword, a warning image suddenly appeared in his mind from the "Book of Records".
Having learned from the previous ambush by the Demon Emperor, he dared not hesitate for a moment this time. He quickly changed his move midway and used teleportation to a distance of ten feet to the side.
Almost instantly, an ugly head suddenly emerged from the lower abdomen of the Nine-Headed Serpent. It was much smaller than the other nine snake heads, but its hideous ugliness still surpassed that of the other snake heads combined.
This sudden outstretched movement was incredibly fast and insidious, almost always hitting its mark.
The Nine-Headed Serpent never expected that Zu'an would dodge away as if he had foreseen the future!
Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue secretly wiped away a cold sweat. They hadn't expected Jiuying to be so cunning and treacherous. Just now, it had even played the trick of feigning weakness to lure them into attacking.
Even with their cultivation levels, they might suffer a great loss from this sneak attack, which could even reverse the situation.
As expected, when the Nine-Headed Serpent saw that its plot had failed, its nine snake heads grew back, along with the ferocious head on its lower abdomen, and it was showing off to the group, seemingly trying to make them back down.
“It seems that the head in its lower abdomen is its real brain,” Yu Yanluo said quickly, having a natural sensitivity to this as a fellow snake.
The group suddenly realized why, despite having shattered all nine heads at least once, they had been unable to inflict a fatal wound.
It turns out the real head was hidden in the lower abdomen.
This secret was probably unknown to anyone before; by the time they found out, they had already been ambushed and killed. It was only thanks to Zu'an's quick reaction that the Nine-Headed Serpent was exposed. With a target in mind, the group then focused their attacks on the lower abdomen.
The Nine-Headed Serpent used its nine snake heads to desperately protect its lower abdomen, but unfortunately, the people it was facing were incredibly powerful. After so many times of cooperation, they had become more and more skilled. Soon, Zu An found an opportunity and, taking advantage of the long handle of his Fire-Tipped Spear, struck the soul with a single blow!
The hideous head was nailed to its own abdomen. As the head was pierced and burst, the nine heads that had been dancing wildly instantly drooped down, and the massive body crashed to the ground.
"This monster should be dead, right?" Yu Yanluo was a little worried, after all, this monster had deliberately tricked them once before.
“It’s dead. There’s no trace of life left on it,” Yun Jianyue said with certainty. With her sharp eyesight, she was naturally not mistaken.
The group breathed a sigh of relief and were about to say something when they suddenly noticed that Jiu Yin's corpse had begun to wriggle.
Yun Jianyue was startled. She had just said that this guy was dead, and she was immediately proven wrong?
Where does this dignified leader of the demonic sect put his face?
The group quickly moved aside to avoid any unexpected changes or counterattacks from the creature.
However, Jiuying did not revive. Instead, its entire body began to dissolve, and its enormous body gradually shrank until it turned into a fist-sized lump of flesh that slowly writhed as if it were alive.
Yan Xuehen said, "The fact that Jiuying can regenerate its limbs in a short time might be due to this flesh."
Zuan picked up the meat and said that it seemed to have life, yet it was an inanimate object; it seemed to have life, yet it was also an inanimate object.
"In that case, let's each have a bite. Even if it doesn't make us immortal, it'll at least give us some healing ability. Do you prefer it steamed, braised, or grilled?"
Yu Yanluo showed a look of disgust: "Ugh~ I won't eat such disgusting stuff."
Yan Xuehen also said coldly, "I don't want it either."
“I don’t want to become a monster like Jiuying,” Yun Jianyue frowned. “Xiao Anzi, don’t blame me for not warning you. If you eat something demonized, don’t blame us for ignoring you.”
Zuan chuckled sheepishly, "Don't worry, my recovery ability is naturally strong, and I don't need to eat this."
However, he couldn't bear to throw it away, feeling that it might become a valuable medicinal herb in the future, or perhaps a Valkyrie needed it for a breakthrough. So he stored it in the Glazed Pearl. With the slaying of the Nine-Headed Serpent, the turbulent waters before them calmed down considerably.
After the group crossed the treacherous waters, Yu Yanluo asked curiously, "What are we going to deal with next?"
Zuan's expression was somewhat strange: "A strong wind!"
The reason for this is that the first ability he learned from the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra was "Great Wind." He saved his life countless times with this teleportation skill, so among all the skills in the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra, he has the deepest affection for Great Wind.
It turns out that the target this time was to deal with the strong winds!
Although I don't know what the strong winds I'm about to face have to do with the strong winds in the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra, I still feel like there's a stone weighing on my heart.
At this moment, Yun Jianyue looked at Yan Xuehen and asked, "Ice Stone Maiden, do you remember how Shun described the strong wind just now?"
Yan Xuehen was clearly used to her way of addressing her, and didn't even bother to refute it, directly replying: "Its appearance is like a dog with a human face, it smiles when it sees people, and it moves like the wind. Its appearance is an omen of a great wind disaster, and Yi slew the great wind in the marshes of Qingqiu."
Zuan's heart skipped a beat, and he realized the problem: the description of Dafeng's appearance seemed to be different from the Dafeng he knew.
However, Yun Jianyue's focus was on something else: "Hmm, could Qingqiu Marsh have something to do with that woman Tu Shanyu?"
Zu An's heart fluttered, and he couldn't help but think of Tu Shan Yu's allure that night. Right, he had even used the Hun Tian Ling to tie her up back then...
His gaze involuntarily fell on Yan Xuehen's belt.
Yan Xuehen's heart skipped a beat. This guy was getting more and more audacious. If others really noticed something, would we still be able to face anyone?
Yu Yanluo was unaware of the many thoughts running through her mind. While pondering, she said, "Qingqiu, could it be that this place is connected to Tushan's Qingqiu Kingdom? Could it be the ancient fox kingdom?"
This question was quickly answered, because as the group continued forward, they gradually encountered all kinds of foxes in the wild. These foxes were not afraid of people at all, and would even stop to look at them, just like when they first entered the Qingqiu Kingdom of Tushan Yu.
Looking at the foxes that stopped by the roadside and sized her up, Yun Jianyue suddenly asked in confusion, "They look like dogs but have human faces, and they smile when they see people. Isn't that a description of foxes?"
