The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5212

A metallic clang rang out as the colossal green serpent slammed headfirst into Jared's shimmering sword energy shield. The impact rattled the ground; the monster recoiled, hissing.

“Interesting.” The leader of Greenscale Gorge chuckled through the snake's maw, surprise threading his voice. “Who knew two human cultivators could possess such strength?”

The serpent's jaws yawned wide, spewing a misty spray of viridian venom. Mid-air, the poison split into hundreds of needle-thin arrows that reeked of death.

Jared's eyes narrowed. He summoned his spiritual energy that flared into a gold shield, wrapping both men just as the toxic rain began to fall.

Venom spat from the serpent sizzled against Jared's shimmering shield. Steam curled upward, filling the air with the stink of rot, but the translucent barrier held firm.

“Your poison is useless against us!” Jared snapped.

In the same instant, the Dragonslayer Sword burst from his palm as a ribbon of golden light, arrowing toward the serpent's narrow heartline just beneath its emerald scales.

The leader of Greenscale Gorge recoiled with surprising agility, coils twisting in a desperate knot that just saved his throat. Even so, the sword energy carved through his tail, exposing bone beneath split green flesh; geysers of acid-green blood sprayed the rocks.

“You court death!” the leader bellowed, rage shredding his voice to raw thunder. He thrashed through the gorge like a living landslide, uprooting trees, smashing boulders, turning peaceful earth into a whirl of debris and echoing terror.

Seizing the opportunity, Flaxseed flicked several sheets of talisman paper out of his sleeve and swiftly drew lightning charms before hurling them at the colossal serpent.

Mid-air, they erupted into blinding spheres that rained lightning onto the serpent's scales. The monster convulsed, shrieking, muscles spasming beneath the electric storm.

Jared timed the serpent's agony, then drove the Dragonslayer Sword straight into that vulnerable node.

A keening howl tore from the leader of Greenscale Gorge's lips. The colossal body shuddered twice, the light dying from its slit pupils, and finally collapsed—an unmoving mountain of emerald flesh.

Breathless, Jared and Flaxseed dropped to the ground, backs against shattered stone, drawing long, ragged gulps of air.
