Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Chapter 18: Su Yen vs the Abyssal Viper King

"W-When will the clan master and the captain arrive..." A voice said in panic. "The beast is almost out of the outer region."

The air grew heavy with suffocating tension as the soldiers exchanged nervous glances, their eyes wide with disbelief at the approaching menace.

Beads of sweat glistened on their foreheads, betraying the anxiety that gnawed at their very souls.

Hiss! Hiss!

The menacing hiss of the Abyssal Viper echoed from deep inside the forest, sending shivers down the spines of the soldiers.

Their trembling hands clutched their weapons, swords, and spears quivering with fear as they struggled to maintain their composure.

The thunderous beat of their racing hearts drowned out all other sounds as they stared at the approaching terror.

"We can't stay like this... this will mean our end."

"S-S-omeone should say something..." Another soldier cried in panic.

"I can't take this any longer I want to go home," a young soldier cried.

The intimidating hiss and the power aura from the Qi Refinement stage beast were something an ordinary Body Building realm could barely bear.

They were on the brink of mental breakdown.

Some soldiers took involuntary steps backward as if hoping to escape the inevitable.

Others stood frozen in place, their faces drained of color, their minds clouded by fear-induced paralysis.

Just as the soldiers began to lose their last trace of courage, a voice came from the distance.

"Retreat, everyone," Su Yen commanded.

Hmm!

For a couple of seconds, the soldiers didn't believe their ears, and they turned in the direction of the voice.

"C-Clan Master..." They exclaimed for a second with shock written on their faces before it was replaced with relief.

Thank God. They prayed in their hearts.

"You've all done well. Leave the rest to me," Su Yen said, appearing in front of them. "Retreat to a safe distance, and when everything is over, you can continue your work."

With that, Su Yen rushed into the forest as he could feel the Abyssal Viper was about to come out of the forest.

And if that happened, it would put him and his plan in jeopardy.

Whoosh!

Su Ye moved between the trees and shrubs with quick speed and sharp reactions, leaving a gust of wind in his wake.

Hiss! Hiss!

Suddenly, the Abyssal Viper King halted in its tracks and looked in the direction from which Su Yen was coming.

Its fierce yellow eyes glared in that direction, its deadly fangs oozing venom.

"What took you so long?" Su Yen said as he appeared in front of the python.

Seeing the puny human, the deep fury in the python burned, and a green mist came out of its massive body, corroding everything in a ten-meter radius.

"H-Human, you must be part of the group that attacked our kin and destroyed our homes?" A genderless voice echoed in Su Yen's mind.

Hearing the snake's voice in his mind, Su Yen was shocked for a moment before he regained his composure.

"Why do you look so surprised? Do you know how many times your kin destroyed our cities and killed thousands of people?" He scoffed.

"I don't have time to bicker with you, little snake... It's time to put you in your place," he withdrew his sword from his storage ring.

"You dare call me a little snake..." The Viper King was furious and swung its massive tail toward him.

The howling from the tail attack was enough to paralyze any Body Building realm warrior. Everything in the path of the tail turned into smithereens.

Whoosh!

Bang!

A deafening sound resounded throughout the forest, with a cloud of dust rising to the sky. Everything in a hundred-meter radius was turned into rubble, and a deep crater appeared in the ground.

"Starlight Blossom Slash -- First form." While the devastating attack was still receding, Su Yen's voice came from the side.

The air crackled, and a deadly sharpness filled the very air. A tingling sound chimed slightly, and a bright starlight covered the sky.

Bang!

The deadly sword strike was impossible for the massive snake to evade, and a miserable scream came from its mouth.

Hisss! Hiss!

The Abyssal Viper rolled on the ground, destroying the very forest it called home.

On its body, a deep cut appeared, but it was unable to slice through its defenses completely.

Whoosh!

Su Yen didn't just stand there; he attacked with another deadly strike, trying to kill the snake as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, the snake retaliated with deadly poison into the air.

"Shit!" Su Yen cursed as he retreated with swift movements.

"One step Mortal Walk," he shouted.

With every step he took, he appeared ten meters ahead, and in the blink of three seconds, he was already out of the poison smoke range.

Despite being out of the range of the poison attack, Su Yen didn't dare let down his guard as he quickly raised his sword.

Bang!

Ah!!!

Su Yen was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into a massive tree and coughing up a mouthful of blood.

He coughed continuously, and some of his innards came out of his mouth. His face was pale, and veins protruded from his forehead.

"This damn snake is close to the peak of Qi Refinement..." He muttered with slight shock.

If the beast race could send a peak Qi Refinement beast for revenge, only God knows how deep their waters were.

Shaking his head at the useless thought, Su Yen forced himself to stand up quickly and use his movement skill.

Bang!

The deadly Abyssal Viper's tail arrived just a hair's breadth as Su Yen left the tree.

Under the deadly attack of the viper's tail, the massive ancient tree was like a twig, shattered into pieces.

As for Su Yen, his pristine white robe was covered in blood, and his hair was disheveled.

But he didn't care as he launched another attack. This time, the attack was more deadly and powerful than the previous one.

"Starlight Blossom Slash -- Second form."

The vacuum vibrated vehemently, and tens of star lights appeared in the sky containing a deadly sharpness.

The mere presence of the sharpness could kill any mortal in its vicinity.

Noticing the deadly strike, the Viper Snake, with madness burning deep in its yellow eyes, raised its massive head, expanding it to the size of a small mountain, and a guttural sound came from its chest.
