Just a cold snort from the Snow Worm was enough to send Jiang Chen crashing to the ground.
An immense pressure bore down on him mercilessly.
Outside, the members of the Warring States Mercenary Corps still thought Jiang Chen was out of danger.
But the moment Fang Yinzi left, the situation took a sudden turn.
It all felt so surreal.
"It’s over. Jiang Chen is definitely done for this time."
"Dammit, where did such a freakish monster come from?"
Zhan Yang and the others were already prostrate on the ground, pinned by the Snow Worm’s terrifying aura, struggling to breathe.
They wanted to save Jiang Chen, but they were powerless to do so.
All they could do was watch helplessly as Jiang Chen was once again plunged into mortal danger.
"Haha, you’re dead for sure."
"So much for your arrogance."
Mr. Gu let out a few triumphant laughs.
Victory was in his grasp.
Qin Yun and Qin Muxue both wore relaxed smiles.
At this point, there was no suspense. Jiang Chen’s death was a certainty.
Jiang Chen was pinned to the ground by the Snow Worm’s overwhelming presence.
He couldn’t move a muscle.
Then, the Snow Worm bared its fangs in a snarl and extended one of its thick, long legs.
The pillar-like limb came stomping down viciously toward Jiang Chen.
Everyone could feel the boundless power contained within that single leg. If it were to stomp on Guyue City, the entire city would likely crumble.
Let alone a mere Martial Master Fifth Heaven like Jiang Chen.
’Am I going to die under the Snow Worm’s foot?’
Jiang Chen felt helpless, a resentful thought echoing in his mind.
All he could do was wait for death, to face his end.
He was so unwilling to accept it.
’To die just like this... it’s such a waste, isn’t it?’
But he had no other choice.
He could only lie on the ground and wait for death to claim him.
The One-Eyed Snow Worm’s thick leg drew closer and closer.
That leg alone was several meters thick.
The claw at its end, like forged steel, gleamed with a cold light.
WHOOSH!
Jiang Chen felt an overwhelming pressure crash down on him from all sides.
Crushing down on his body.
The leg was simply unstoppable.
BOOM!
Finally, the Snow Worm’s long leg stomped viciously onto Jiang Chen.
It looked as if Jiang Chen would be turned into a pile of mangled flesh.
Jiang Chen could feel his entire body twisting and deforming. His bones couldn’t withstand the immense pressure from the Snow Worm’s leg.
CRACK... CRACKLE...
His bones were being crushed to powder.
Blood spurted from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
"Hahahaha..."
"That damned brat is finally going to die."
Maniacal laughter echoed from beneath Mr. Gu’s black robe.
Jiang Chen’s consciousness began to fade.
He knew he was about to die.
VMMMM...
But just then, something unexpected happened.
A faint ripple of energy suddenly emerged from Jiang Chen’s body, right under the Snow Worm’s foot.
Though the ripple was faint, the powerful Snow Worm felt it with perfect clarity.
It tried to stomp down on Jiang Chen with even more force.
But in the next moment, the Snow Worm was shocked to find that no matter how much strength it used, it couldn’t completely crush Jiang Chen.
An invisible force seemed to be slowly propping up its leg.
Then, that force slowly grew stronger.
Bit by bit, it began to push the Snow Worm’s long leg back up.
"Hmm?"
"How is this possible?"
The One-Eyed Snow Worm let out a shocked cry.
It was as if something unbelievable was happening.
In reality, inside Jiang Chen’s body, the Spirit Art had suddenly begun to circulate on its own, without him consciously activating it.
It cycled through his body.
It was the power of the Spirit Art, erupting from within Jiang Chen, that had actually held up the Snow Worm’s terrifying leg.
It was even pushing the Snow Worm’s leg upward.
One must understand that the Snow Worm possessed the power of a Martial God.
To push back even one of its legs should be impossible without the power of a Martial God.
And yet, Jiang Chen’s Spirit Art had done just that.
Now, the Spirit Art was slowly being released from Jiang Chen’s body, but in a bizarre turn of events, it began to creep up onto the Snow Worm’s body.
The Snow Worm found its leg being pushed up, completely beyond its control.
It was utterly horrified.
A hint of shock appeared on its once-ferocious face.
’What... what is this Divine Technique?’
’It can actually reverse the Spirit Manipulation Technique in my body!’
’Heavens, how is this possible? There’s a Magic in this world stronger than the Spirit Manipulation Technique?’
The Snow Worm’s mind was in utter turmoil.
It had been suppressed by the Spirit Manipulation Technique before, and its very soul had been shackled by Mr. Gu’s use of it.
Its entire life, it seemed, had been controlled by the Spirit Manipulation Technique.
For as long as it could remember.
But now, a Magic had suddenly appeared that could block the Spirit Manipulation Technique.
No, it could even *force back* the Spirit Manipulation Technique.
Beyond its shock, a fervent hope began to burn within it.
If it could use Jiang Chen’s Magic to expel the Spirit Manipulation Technique from its body, it could be free.
At this thought, the One-Eyed Snow Worm trembled with excitement.
It no longer tried to kill Jiang Chen.
Instead, it actively retracted its leg.
But even as it retracted its leg, Jiang Chen’s Spirit Art had already spread onto its body.
It began to fight against the Spirit Manipulation Technique.
At the same time, the Spirit Art unleashed a terrifying power of its own.
Streams of Life Force began to flow out from the Snow Worm’s body and into Jiang Chen.
It had to be remembered that Jiang Chen’s Spirit Art was no ordinary technique.
It could manipulate the Life Force of plants.
Plants had Life Force, and so did animals.
It was a common thread between them.
Now, the Spirit Art was actually beginning to absorb the One-Eyed Snow Worm’s Life Force.
It then slowly infused it into Jiang Chen’s body.
Under the infusion of the Snow Worm’s Life Force, Jiang Chen’s previously injured body began to recover at a rapid pace.
The One-Eyed Snow Worm possessed an incredibly potent Life Force; of that, there was no doubt.
"No..."
"No, no, no, no..."
The moment it felt its Life Force draining away, the Snow Worm let out a terrified shriek.
It cried out in alarm, trying to stop Jiang Chen’s Spirit Art from absorbing its Life Force.
It wanted to stop it, but it was completely unable to resist the Spirit Art.
Just a moment ago, it had been ecstatic at the thought of using Jiang Chen’s Spirit Art to repel the Spirit Manipulation Technique. Now, it was filled with terror.
It feared the Spirit Art. It was afraid the Spirit Art would drain its Life Force dry.
If its Life Force was drained, it would die.
"Kid, wake up!"
"Stop it! You can’t take my Life Force!"
The Snow Worm’s shrieks echoed throughout Guyue City.
Everyone was stunned.
To think that such a powerful creature like the Snow Worm could be afraid of something.
It was simply unbelievable.
The Snow Worm itself was terrified.
As the one controlling the Snow Worm, Mr. Gu felt its terror even more keenly.
The Snow Worm was suddenly terrified of something.
His expression changed drastically.
He looked over at Jiang Chen in horror, only to see that he hadn’t been crushed to death by the Snow Worm.
His heart began to pound wildly.
He had a terrible premonition.
It felt as if something was about to happen.
"Hurry up and kill him!"
"Just kill him and this will all be over!"
He urged the Snow Worm on relentlessly.
But the Snow Worm was in a state of panic. He tried to command it, but it no longer listened to him.
