Unsurprisingly, Liu Fuyao took out a bead from her Sumeru ring, which contained energy as violent as thunder.
If it weren't a desperate situation, she wouldn't want to use the Exploding Thunder Bead, but it was the only way now.
Liu Fuyao injected spiritual energy into the bead, released the restriction, and threw it out.
Although the Green Scaled Snake didn't understand why this human was throwing a blue bead at it, it charged forward without a second thought.
Who would have thought that the moment the Exploding Thunder Bead touched its scales, a dangerous and violent force erupted from the bead.
Streaks of silver lightning instantly formed throughout the space, spreading in all directions.
Countless thunderous surges, along with exploding purgatory sparks, detonated in the space.
The intense explosion even caused Xin Ci to experience a moment of tinnitus. The surrounding rock walls were blown to pieces, and most of the passageway was buried by rubble.
Although Xin Ci was far away, he was still affected by the storm generated by the explosion and, along with the rubble, fell from the entrance of the passageway.
"Is this woman crazy? Does she want to destroy everything here!"
Xin Ci, covered in dust and dirt, climbed out of the pile of rocks.
He stared ahead in astonishment. The original underground water pool had been filled with a large amount of rubble, and the ground, surrounding rock layers, and ceiling were almost completely scorched black.
That woman had turned this place into ruins with just one bead!
"Right, what about that woman and the Green Scaled Snake? They were right in the center of the explosion. Judging by this situation, wouldn't they both be dead?"
As the smoke dissipated ahead, a radiant golden lotus appeared there.
After a while, the petals fell one by one, revealing Liu Fuyao, whose face was pale, wrapped inside.
After the radiant golden lotus disappeared, Liu Fuyao suddenly felt weak and powerless, collapsing to the ground like a wilting white flower.
Continuously activating the secret technique and using the protective golden lotus to withstand the power of the Exploding Thunder Bead, Liu Fuyao now had not a single trace of spiritual energy left in her body, and her limbs were so weak that she couldn't move.
But even after using the Exploding Thunder Bead, the Green Scaled Snake was not completely dead.
The Green Scaled Snake was scorched black all over, smoke emitting from its mouth, appearing to be at death's door.
But it was not dead yet.
"Damn it, I didn't expect this Green Scaled Snake to have such tenacious vitality. It's not completely dead even after taking a direct hit from an Exploding Thunder Bead."
Liu Fuyao was very anxious. With the recovery abilities of a demonic beast, it would definitely recover its ability to move sooner than her.
At that time, she would only be devoured by the snake.
So, she called out to Xin Ci with difficulty, "How long are you going to hide? Come out and deal with this Green Scaled Snake!"
Xin Ci couldn't help but feel surprised, but it made sense. This woman's soul power was no weaker than his, so she could naturally sense him.
Seeing Xin Ci emerge from the darkness, Liu Fuyao was also very surprised.
She hadn't expected that the person who had spied on her the day before yesterday was just a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.
Wait, this boy was only in the Body Tempering Realm!
Then how could he possess soul power comparable to the second level of the Soul Realm?!
Although Xin Ci didn't want to obey her command, the entrance to the passageway was almost completely blocked.
If this Green Scaled Snake wasn't killed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He drew his short saber, leaped into the air, and landed swiftly on the Green Scaled Snake's back.
While it was unable to move, he thrust the short saber into the spot seven inches from its head without hesitation.
With a 'bang.'
Xin Ci's short saber actually broke.
Against a peak level three demonic beast, ordinary iron weapons were too fragile.
"Use my weapon to deal with it!" Liu Fuyao reminded him.
Xin Ci immediately jumped to her side and picked up Liu Fuyao's long sword.
This long sword felt light in his hand, and its blade gleamed with a cold light. It was clearly a spiritual weapon.
However, Xin Ci didn't have time to admire it. Holding the precious sword, he cut through the Green Scaled Snake's scales and thrust it into its heart.
Delivering the final blow to the Green Scaled Snake.
The Green Scaled Snake struggled one last time, then let out its last breath, its head drooping, devoid of any life.
After eliminating this menace, Xin Ci turned around, intending to return the sword to Liu Fuyao.
He then noticed that something was very wrong with her. Her cheeks were unusually flushed, and her complexion was dazed.
"Are you alright?" Xin Ci asked.
"I'm... fine,... don't come near me!"
But she didn't look like she was alright.
Liu Fuyao was trying her best to control herself, but her consciousness was already becoming blurry.
During the previous battle, she had accidentally been exposed to the poisonous blood of the Green Scaled Snake that had seeped into her wound.
What was even more fatal was that this Green Scaled Snake venom also had an aphrodisiac effect.
Xin Ci saw her struggling to endure and frowning, as she clearly wasn't fine.
"Not good, this little girl has been poisoned by the Green Scaled Snake..."
Before Elder Han could finish speaking, Liu Fuyao could no longer bear the effects of the snake venom and moved towards Xin Ci.
"Wow~, is the exciting scene from the original novel about to happen?"
In the space of consciousness, Mu Qingqing said this, but in reality, she was blushing and peeking with half-covered eyes, seeming to have a little anticipation for what was about to happen.
In the original novel, the male lead Xin Ci and Liu Fuyao were both poisoned by the Green Scaled Snake, and they eventually had a relationship.
Liu Fuyao was also the first woman in the original novel to have a relationship with the male lead.
This plotline had always been exciting and curious for Mu Qingqing.
However, Xin Ci remained unresponsive, standing as still as a wooden sculpture.
Then, with a chop to the neck, he knocked Liu Fuyao unconscious, supported her, and gently laid her on the ground.
This action completely left Mu Qingqing speechless and dumbfounded.
"What? Male lead, what are you doing!"
Liu Fuyao, knocked unconscious by Xin Ci, still looked distressed as she lay on the ground.
If the poison wasn't neutralized soon, her life would be in danger.
"Elder Han, is there an antidote for this Green Scaled Snake venom?"
