?Chapter 663: Chapter 663: Killing the Serpent King_1 Chapter 663: Chapter 663: Killing the Serpent King_1 The Serpent King’s strength had already reached the pinnacle of Kings, and the Primordial Sky Thunder Element within its body was bound to be much more abundant than that of other Thunderclap Strange Serpents.
Therefore, in Xu Fan’s view, if he could absorb this Serpent King, he would definitely be able to breakthrough.
As for the other ordinary Thunderclap Strange Serpents, in the presence of this Serpent King, they were hardly worth mentioning.
Thinking this, Xu Fan no longer hesitated, his figure flashed, and he instantly charged towards the Serpent King.
“Hiss…”
The Serpent King let out an angry hiss, lightning wreaking havoc around it, a powerful aura spreading in all directions that no one dared to underestimate.
Its gaping maw opened wide, and the next moment, it seemed poised to deliver a formidable strike.
Meanwhile, at a distance, the lower-level Thunderclap Strange Serpents had already begun to flee in all directions.
Xu Fan did not hesitate at all and continued to charge towards the Serpent King.
However, the next instant,
the Serpent King surprisingly turned around and fled into the distance.
This scene caused both Shen Jianting and Qin Qinglong at a distance to be stunned, and even Xu Fan couldn’t help but pause for a moment.
No one had expected that the Serpent King, despite assuming a posture ready for a powerful attack, would not even release a fart before turning tail and running, creating a profoundly jarring psychological impact.
With the augmentation of the Primordial Sky Thunder Element, the Serpent King’s speed was incredibly fast.
In the blink of an eye, it had already fled a kilometer away.
This Serpent King evidently wasn’t lacking in intelligence, facing someone as powerful as Xu Fan, it chose to flee rather than to confront him head-on.
It must be said that such a situation was truly rare.
Generally, creatures guarding treasures would often sacrifice themselves for their relics, preferring death over surrender.
Moreover, being such a powerful entity with extraordinary momentum, the Serpent King didn’t seem like a deserter at all.
A mocking smile appeared on Xu Fan’s lips as he said with a cold laugh, “So, now you decide to run, but do you really think you can escape?”
After all, this Serpent King was key to his breakthrough in cultivation, so he would never allow it to escape easily, no matter what.
Whoosh…
In an instant, Xu Fan’s speed also skyrocketed, like a meteor chasing the moon, rapidly pursuing the Serpent King.
Along the way, dozens of Thunderclap Strange Serpents were killed by the storm Xu Fan stirred up in his wake, turning into Primordial Sky Thunder Element.
But right now, Xu Fan’s target was the Serpent King, so he did not bother to absorb these Primordial Sky Thunder Elements.
Shen Jianting’s gaze turned toward the Treasured Sword, his expression flickering uncertainly, betraying the turmoil within.
By now, Xu Fan had gone off to hunt the Serpent King, and beside him, there was only Qin Qinglong, who had yet to reach the King Realm.
If Shen Jianting decided to seize the sword now, Qin Qinglong definitely wouldn’t be able to stop him, and the odds of success would be very high as long as Xu Fan didn’t return in time.
But should he make his move and seize the sword now?
Shen Jianting was indecisive, struggling to make up his mind.
Qin Qinglong, who stood nearby, seemed to suddenly sense Shen Jianting’s thoughts.
His eyes narrowed slightly, his muscles tensed, and he unabashedly unleashed his aura.
This was a warning to Shen Jianting that if he tried to seize the sword at this moment, Qin Qinglong would definitely intervene.
Even though he knew he was no match, he was confident he could hold Shen Jianting off for a moment.
Xu Fan could solve the Serpent King at any moment and then return; by then, whatever the consequences, they would be Shen Jianting’s own doing.
After a moment’s hesitation, Shen Jianting took a long breath and his expression eased.
After considering the situation, he still didn’t dare to make a move.
If Qin Qinglong was intent on stalling him at all costs, Shen Jianting wasn’t entirely confident he could steal the Treasured Sword before Xu Fan returned.
Besides, even if he succeeded in stealing the sword, what would he do afterward?
Keep in mind, the Northern Border Ruins had only just been opened.
Could he ensure that he wouldn’t encounter Xu Fan in the time to come if he offended him now?
If there were any mishaps, he would likely not live to tell the tale.
All these concerns forced Shen Jianting to abandon any thoughts of taking action.
Seeing the change in Shen Jianting’s expression, Qin Qinglong also let out a slight sigh of relief.
It was naturally best if they could avoid a confrontation.
At this moment on the other side, Xu Fan, who had been pursuing at full speed, had finally caught up with the Serpent King.
Under the influence of the Primordial Sky Thunder Element, the Serpent King was incredibly fast.
However, Xu Fan’s realm was an entire level above the Serpent King’s, not to mention that Xu Fan also possessed secret techniques that enhanced his speed.
He could easily surpass the fleeing Serpent King’s pace with just one of those techniques.
“I said you couldn’t escape, so you will definitely not escape,” Xu Fan stated as he intercepted the Serpent King midair, chuckling as he looked down at the angry creature below.
Then, he took the Heavenly Fiend Great Demon out of his Storage Ring.
Boom…
Xu Fan grasped the Heavenly Fiend Great Demon and ruthlessly hammered down from above, the air whistling as if it were being flattened.
With extraordinary speed, the Serpent King, though desperate to dodge, couldn’t react in time and was directly struck on the head by the Heavenly Fiend Great Demon.
Boom…
Another loud explosion followed.
With no chance to struggle or fight back, the Serpent King was killed on impact, exploding into a vast amount of Primordial Sky Thunder Element.
The abundance of the Primordial Sky Thunder Element was such that even the nearby air began to distort, with flickering lightning continuously appearing within it.
Witnessing the scene before him, Xu Fan’s face lit up with joy.
?0??0.??
The Serpent King, having reached the peak level of a King, was unexpectedly rich in Primordial Sky Thunder Element, even more so than the dozens of other King-level Thunderclap Strange Serpents combined.
If nothing went wrong, this Serpent King could likely reach the Heavenly Venerable level very soon.
With such an immense amount of Primordial Sky Thunder Element, Xu Fan was confident that he could absolutely make a breakthrough to the Golden Core realm.
Without any hesitation, Xu Fan put away the Heavenly Fiend Great Demon and began to absorb the extremely rich Primordial Sky Thunder Element around him, using a spell to seal the deal.
Meanwhile, the cultivation techniques within him were also continuously operating, constantly refining the Primordial Sky Thunder Element that was being absorbed into his body.
After absorbing all the Primordial Sky Thunder Element, he landed from the sky, sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes slightly, and started to break through with all his might.
A trace of pain was faintly visible on his face.
It was well-known that a breakthrough in Divine Sense was not a pleasant experience; it was akin to tempering the soul.
The strength of the body offered no aid in enduring the anguish of the soul.
Boom boom boom…
The massive amount of Primordial Sky Thunder Element continuously flowed into the Sea of Consciousness Space, causing relentless thundering within, as if the entire space were undergoing a cataclysmic transformation.
This was a sign that a breakthrough was imminent.
