<h4>Chapter 652: Chapter 651, You Know Nothing of My Power</h4>


    In the darkness, the Eight-Forked Serpent let out a deafening hiss, its seven enormous heads ring furiously at Xu Wendong, wishing to tear him to pieces.


    The head that had been severely injured by Xu Wendong wobbled as if drunk, giving the impression that it might copse at any moment.


    "Again!"


    Xu Wendong held the Thousand ughter, his entire body enveloped in a golden Buddhist light, resembling a shell shooting through the darkness.


    He didn’t know where the ’main brain’ of the Eight-Forked Serpent was, so he could only severely injure each head one by one, for only by doing so could he thoroughly kill this beast.


    Boom!


    Apanied by a resonant and prolonged bell sound, Xu Wendong was once again struck by the serpent’s tail, sent flying, destroying houses along the way, with a series of loud crashes.


    Though he emerged once more from the ruins.


    Although still shrouded in the Buddhist light.


    Yet this time.


    The Buddhist light had noticeably dimmed.


    Even though he had mastered the Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt, it didn’t mean he could be immune to all attacks and damage, especially when facing a stronger opponent.


    Moreover, using the Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt consumed a great deal of his strength, and being knocked away twice had caused him some bacsh.


    "In my current state, I can’tst much longer. I must defeat it before the Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt fades away!"


    Xu Wendong’s face was grave, as he activated his cultivation technique, dismissing the Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt from his body, yet appearing as if forged from gold, radiating a dazzling brilliance.


    This reduced his energy consumption.


    Likewise.


    It increased the damage he would take, as the attacks would directly impact his body.


    However.


    There was also an advantage to this; with the Golden Bell Shield gone, his size became smaller, reducing the chances of being hit.


    "Continue!"


    Xu Wendong roared thunderously, ghost-like, appearing before the Eight-Forked Serpent, thrusting the Thousand ughter fiercely.


    As he anticipated, with his current size, even facing the serpent’s attack head-on, he could evade effortlessly.


    St!


    Scarlet blood spurted from the triangr serpent head.


    A heartbreaking scream echoed through the sky and earth.


    The cry spread for dozens of miles, reaching many citizens of Haicheng who heard the sharp, piercing wail. Though it was chilling, it also filled them with excitement.


    Because Master Xu could likely y this vile beast.


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!


    In the night sky.


    Xu Wendong executed the Water Commanding Technique, once more conjuring longswords from countless seawater to strike the two severely injured serpent heads.


    Roar!


    The Eight-Forked Serpent howled at the sky, its shrill sound causing the void to tremble, blocking all of Xu Wendong’s attacks before it.


    Simultaneously, it twisted its massive body, charging towards Xu Wendong with an overwhelming momentum.


    Fortunately, two heads were heavily wounded.


    Its speed was somewhat reduced, giving Xu Wendong a chance. He evaded the serpent’s attack with calmness, appearing above it in a sh.


    The Thousand ughter in his hand radiated a terrifying killing intent, thrown out, piercing through a serpent head, leading the Eight-Forked Serpent into an even more deafening roar of anger.


    Of its eight heads, three were now severely injured.


    This made the many people watching the live stream extremely thrilled, cheering silently for Xu Wendong because, in their eyes, ying the Eight-Forked Serpent was a virtually certain victory.


    However.


    For Xu Wendong, this battle was exceptionally arduous.


    He was now feeling intensely weak, and the critical issue was that the Thousand ughter was no longer in his hand.


    "If I had the Sword Control Technique, killing this vile beast would be easy!" The Sword Control Technique, a Taoist Sect spell, once mastered, would allow one, at the very least, to manipte a longsword to kill enemies from a distance, aside from sword flight.


    But now, although he had entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, qualifying for learning the Sword Control Technique, he didn’t have such a spell.


    The heavily injured Eight-Forked Serpent let out a piercing cry under the night sky.


    Although it really wanted to kill Xu Wendong now.


    Xu Wendong’s speed was too fast, and with the serpent already seriously hurt, it couldn’t eliminate this human.


    Jiang Yuanbo and others stared nkly at the scene before them, never expecting Xu Wendong’s strength to reach a level capable of severely injuring the Divine Beast.


    For a moment.


    A foreboding feeling rose in everyone’s heart.


    They could abandon their own lives.


    But.


    They didn’t want the Divine Beast to perish here.


    After all, it was the faith in the hearts of the Ind Country people, their totem.


    If the Eight-Forked Serpent truly died here, the dignity of the Ind Country people would bepletely obliterated.


    At this moment.


    Jiang Dongsheng, the highest-ranking elder of Jiang Family Vige, strode forward, his face full of devotion, prostrating on the ground: "Divine Beast, your loyal subjects are willing to sacrifice their lives for you to defeat this Shina person!" Saying this, he ced his palms skyward, kneeling forward.


    Upon witnessing this scene.


    Many of Jiang Family Vige’s nsmen also stepped forward, palms facing up, kneeling on the ground.


    This scene confused many spectators.


    Not knowing what they were doing.


    But in the next moment.


    The Eight-Forked Serpent opened its bloody maw, and under countless shocked gazes, devoured those people of Jiang Family Vige.


    Scarlet blood overflowed from its mouth with each chew, permeating the air with a suffocating stench of blood.


    Meanwhile.


    Xu Wendong also sensed the aura of the Eight-Forked Serpent rapidly rising, especially the three severely wounded heads, which were now gradually regaining rity if before, they were like drunk.


    "Blood ritual?"


    Xu Wendong’s pupils trembled violently, never expecting these people to sacrifice their lives just to help heal the Eight-Forked Serpent.


    Such a method was truly unbelievable.


    Only the most unscrupulous could conceive of such a heinous approach.


    Those watching the live stream were deeply shocked as well, none expecting these people to sacrifice their lives to help heal the Eight-Forked Serpent.


    Of course, while they felt shock.


    Countless people also worriedly sweated for Xu Wendong, as they noticed that he had previously gained the upper hand, fully capable of ying this Eight-Forked Serpent.


    But now.


    The serpent’s injuries werepletely healed, and Xu Wendong had also expended much of his strength.


    Could he still defeat this beast now?


    "Xu, I told you before, today you are doomed!" Jiang Yuanbo’s face was filled with madness, believing Xu Wendong was fated to die, unable to keep them.


    "Yes, without this Thousand ughter, what are you?" A middle-aged man tightly gripped the Thousand ughter, his face full of disdain.


    Xu Wendong disyed a yful smile: "You know nothing of my strength!" As the words fell, the Ge Furnace appeared in his hand out of thin air.


    He held the pitch-ck Pill Furnace, radiating golden Buddhist light, charging once more at the Eight-Forked Serpent with unstoppable momentum.


    Today.


    He was determined to y this beast and proim the might of his nation!
