Invincible Snake Emperor-Chapter 117 - 115: The Villagers’ Nightmare

BAM...

BAM...

BAM...

The ground of the Zhao Family residence cracked endlessly. Each time the Crowned Snake shot up as a streak of purple light, the Gold and Silver Snake would simply and brutally slap it back down.

This went on for more than a dozen rounds...

"ROAR..."

The last time the Crowned Snake was slapped to the ground, it let out a sky-shattering roar that shot toward the heavens. An incredibly terrifying aura instantly spread out.

"ROAR... You forced my hand! I'm going to devour you!"

The Crowned Snake had gone berserk. It roared madly in the dead of night, its cries like the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves, the shriek of a Fierce Ghost. The people outside the mourning hall were in agony. They desperately covered their ears, only to find blood trickling from them.

Suspended high in the air, Tu Xiao'an suddenly frowned. Wounds had appeared on the Crowned Snake's body, but a purple light still flowed around it. Its stripes miraculously underwent another earth-shattering change.

It changed from purple to black. Its black scales glinted with a cold light, carrying with them the terror of death.

In the deep, thick, pitch-black night, a venomous snake covered in black scales raised its head and stood tall. The turbulent aura surging from its body whipped up gusts of wind, a truly terrifying sight.

Who is in the dark night, who is in the pool of blood, who is shattered to pieces, whose soul is dancing.

At this moment, the Crowned Snake was filled with an air of death. In the dark night, it had become the Death God's herald.

Terrifying. Everyone stared with horrified eyes at the snake that had changed color again. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who could believe that a snake in this world could be so frightening?

Even the people of Bai Town, who already believed in the Snake King, couldn't process it so quickly.

They had heard of chameleons, but never of color-changing snakes.

Tu Xiao'an's Snake Gaze widened, his expression solemn. This snake was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

'A Rank Two Middle Level Creature, a mutated House Snake. The difficulty is much higher than I expected.'

'No wonder the system's rewards are so generous—a direct two-Level increase and one spin on the random prize wheel.'

'To face a snake like this, humanity would probably have to mobilize its military forces.'

As the crowd was enveloped in a terrifying atmosphere, the ink-black Crowned Snake roared again. Following this roar, its body also began to miraculously expand.

From its initial one meter, it became two meters in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, everyone stared wide-eyed as the Crowned Snake's body swelled at a visible rate. The aura around it shot out like a gale, stirring the winds and clouds.

'Its body changed color, and now it's getting bigger?'

The surviving members of the Zhao Family should feel fortunate right now, because if this snake truly wanted to wipe out their family, it would be terrifyingly easy.

Killing one person a day? That was an act of mercy.

Three meters.

Five meters.

Ten meters.

The Crowned Snake was like a Divine Dragon. Its massive body shot straight up, crushing the ancient residence beneath its colossal form. It looked down on everything, its body alone holding up the sky.

"Th-th-this... how is this possible?"

"The Zhao Family is finished. No one can save them."

Watching the massive, coiling snake rise up from the residence, they were all shocked beyond words. Their hair stood on end as if possessed, and their stunned minds went blank.

Even as a small snake, it was that terrifying. Now that it's become a ten-meter-long Giant Snake, the heavens must truly want to annihilate the entire Zhao Family.

"Can you still be taller than me now?"

Having transformed into a Giant Snake, the Crowned Snake looked down upon the suspended Tu Xiao'an. Its aura was incomparably violent. It opened its cavernous mouth and spoke in a voice so hoarse it made one's scalp tingle.

The sky grew darker, and the moon, as if frightened, seemed to hide behind the clouds.

Tu Xiao'an looked at the massive Crowned Snake, his expression calm and unrippled. He finally understood now why the shadow projected on the back wall of the mourning hall had been that of a giant snake.

'So this is the Crowned Snake's true form. It also has the ability to change its size at will.'

'I have to say, the abilities of a Rank Two creature that has gained sentience are not to be underestimated. This is far beyond what I imagined.'

'At this rate, it's probably not impossible for a Rank 3 creature to achieve Transformation.'

Ten meters seemed to be a physical limit for the Snake Race. The Vampire Snake, possessing the Giant Snake Gene, had instantly grown to ten meters. Tu Xiao'an himself had reached ten meters after leveling up to Level 15.

And now, the Crowned Snake also possessed a ten-meter-long body.

"What do you have to fight me with? I could swallow you in a single gulp!"

The enlarged Crowned Snake, with an aura that could swallow mountains and rivers, looked disdainfully at the one-meter-long Gold and Silver Snake as if looking at a tiny worm.

Hearing this, Tu Xiao'an's Snake Gaze glinted. It was as if he smiled as he softly uttered, "As if you're the only one who can get bigger."

"Hmm?"

The Crowned Snake looked down at him, but in the next second, it was its turn to be stunned.

GROW... GROW... GROW...

The floating Gold and Silver Snake began to glow brilliantly. A Heaven Shocking Power surged forth, making the space around it seem to buckle. The air erupted with a series of sonic booms as wind stirred and clouds scattered.

In just a few moments, another ten-meter Giant Snake appeared in the Zhao Family's courtyard. Its unparalleled aura, one that declared 'Who but I?', inspired an irresistible urge to bow down and worship.

Tu Xiao'an completed his transformation instantly. The air around him continued to crackle with explosions. He stood tall, touching the heavens and planting his feet on the earth. At this moment, he was overwhelmingly domineering. At this moment, he was the Snake King.

It seemed as if nothing in the world could stand in his way, nothing could be his enemy. No matter how formidable a venomous snake was, it would have to submit at the feet of the Snake King.

Transform into the Snake King and make all creation submit. 'No matter what you are, you will kneel before me.'

The Zhao Family members, long terrified, were already kneeling on the ground in fear and trepidation, not even daring to raise their heads.

"Tonight, I will devour you."

The massive gold and silver snake imperiously spoke these words to the equally large Crowned Snake from its high and mighty position.

And so, the battle between two small snakes had escalated into a world-shaking war between Giant Snakes.

The hundred-year-old ancient residence seemed to be drifting in a storm, utterly insignificant.

This night was destined to be anything but peaceful. It was a night of terror, the coming of a nightmare.

The villagers of Zhao Village seemed to have been jolted awake from a nightmare, unable to fall back asleep. Lights turned on in house after house as people stepped outside to look toward the Zhao Family's estate. In the distance, they saw two massive, coiling snakes fighting and colliding with each other—a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

It was as if they had instantly entered another nightmare. They looked up to find no light, only darkness blanketing the sky and earth.

The Zhao Family estate was experiencing an earthquake. With a deafening "BOOM," the ground within a several-hundred-meter radius was peeled back layer by layer, as if a volcano had erupted and was spewing lava.

No, the entirety of Zhao Village was experiencing an earthquake.

Every last villager was prostrate on the ground, trembling with fear and trepidation. 'Has the end of the world arrived?'

No one knew exactly what was happening. They could only see the silhouettes of two massive, coiling snakes in the sky, their battle like a tempestuous sea, terrifying beyond imagination.

An unknown amount of time passed. The two massive, coiling snakes disappeared, and Zhao Village gradually returned to a state of calm.

As for the Zhao Family's estate, it was a complete wreck. The residence was like a ruin, with several houses collapsed. Anyone who didn't know better would have truly believed it was the aftermath of an earthquake.

However, what had transpired was even more terrifying than an earthquake, and it would haunt the hearts of the Zhao Village villagers for the rest of their lives.
