Chapter 402 We meet again Part1
Jin Nuhen and the dozen spirit snakes quickly reverted to theirmia form and started digging through the earth as fast as they could.
With Tang Yue having sessfully diverted the attention of the Emperor beast, there was no longer the presence of the intimidating pressure holding them back.
They shoveled the thick densely packed grains of sand and rocks back and forth and back and forth, slowly and steadily extending the tunnel route all the way to the chasm.
Luckily the distance was not too much and they only need a few more minutes at most.
"n leader, will the Empress really be okay?" One of the snakes paused and worriedly asked.
"Selena. Since when did you be someone important enough to worry about the Empress?" Nuhen rudely cut her off. Not that he was not worried about Tang Yue.
Every other second the earth shook and loud thundering noises rumbled. They could feel the gravity and the intensity of the battle happening up above the earth.
But even so… Nuhen hadplete faith in Tang Yue. So he didn''t allow anyone to question her capabilities as if doing so would improve her chances of sess.
"Do your job, Selena and don''t think about unnecessary things." He warned her and started digging with even more force than he had previously applied.
"Ah… ok. I apologize for my behavior, n leader." Selena pouted and bowed, before returning back to digging again.
And while she did so, her mind once again wandered to think about the great Empress and her sharp emerald eyes. She silently prayed that nothing would happen to her.
Meanwhile… Outside… On the surface…
A group ofva smanders froze on the spot after seeing des of fire flying towards them.
However, it was only momentary.
As the attack involved fire element, they daringly continued dashing forward towards Tang Yue, scurrying along with their short fat paws.
On this ind, they were the Gods of fire element. They ruled the hot flowingva which other beasts did not dare touch.
So they were quite confident of facing Tang Yue''s fire des.
Not to mention each one of them were at least, if not strongerpared to the high-grade poisonous frog Tang Yue had faced previously.
Back then, she had struggled fighting against even a single one of the poisonous frogs but now…
As the first shnded on a smander at the front, it used its thick hard skin to block the attack, whipping the slice of fire away with its tail.
However, when it tried moving its body again, surprisingly, its own body did not listen to the smander''smands and the next instant, the beast loudly shrieked before dropping down dead, its body split apart into two.
Tang Yue''s fire elementced sword sh had been so powerful that the moment it touched the beast''s body, it had split it into two halves.
But how was its tempered body unable to withstand a mere me sh? Till the veryst minute, the beast had absolutely no idea how it died.
When the first one fell, the rest of the smanders quickly became alert.
The attack didn''t seem like a simple me sh. Nevertheless, it was a bit toote.
One by one, the entire group of smanders fell as Tang Yue spun her body and sent out sword beams, not moving an inch from her spot.
The beasts which had threatened her very existence before were now not even capable of withstanding a single attack from her.
The Emperor beast that was surrounded by its trusted capable soldiers was suddenly standing alone all by itself.
"What did you do to my soldiers???" A deep and hoarse voice bellowed, surprising Tang Yue.
"Eh? You can talk?" Tang Yue chuckled. "Too bad. We don''t have time today for a lengthy chat."
Her long forked tongue flickered in and out as she flicked her sword towards the giant reptile.
The Emperor beast had thick hard skin almost like the shell of a turtle.
The attack that had massacred the high-grade beasts did not even scratch the skin of the Emperor beast.
"Just as I thought." Tang Yue hissed.
"You can''t defeat me, you pitiful snake. I should have killed you all and eradicated your entire n when I had the chance." The Emperor beast loudly harrumphed.
But Tang Yue looked far from being intimidated. "I am not from this ind, you stupid beast." She chuckled.
"So what? Your tricks will not pass through my defense." Tang Yue knew why the smander was so confident in its words.
When she had attacked the high-grade smanders earlier, she hadbined both fire elemental and wind elemental magic, hiding sharp cutting wind slices in her me sword beams.
But the Emperor beast''s defense was too strong and this attack did not put a dent on its physical defense. This was why the beast was so confidently mouthing off.
"I am not done yet, smander Emperor." Tang Yue hissed and her entire body suddenly started radiating thick dark putrid energy.
The Emperor beast shook and its body visibly trembled. "How is it possible?" It took a step back subconsciously. It knew that it was no match for Tang Yue.
It let out a loud roar, calling for more reinforcements.
But the next second, a sharp ice spear struck in the middle of its open mouth, ck mes enveloping the spear.
The Emperor beast was just like that impaled, blood leaking from its mouth.
Roar! It shook its head in pain and then quickly coughed up, producing smoke and me.
A spiral of hot burning mes arose from its body,pletely enveloping it.
The spiral quickly turned into a tornado and Tang Yue felt her body being drawn to the smander.
"You want closebat? Fine by me." Tang Yue smiled and then unexpectedly allowed herself to be pulled into the me spiral.
The smander''s eyes shone from within the spiral knowing that its attack had worked.
"I am going to eat snake meat today. Ba ha ha ha!" It growled excitedly.
