Chapter 553: Chapter 536: Evil Eye

Zhou Leng carefully observed. Unlike ordinary snakes, these snakes had ten white rings arranged from the top of their heads down.

On each white ring, there was a circle of black spots, with seven spots in each circle.

The black spots suddenly split open, revealing red and white eyes.

Numerous eyes scanned the surroundings, and each eye emitted a peculiar spiritual power.

This strange power covered dozens of meters around them.

The martial artists nearby staggered, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Multi-eyed snake.

“It’s a multi-eyed snake, don’t look into their eyes.”

Just as a Demon Spirit Master uttered these words, Zhou Leng rushed toward the nearest multi-eyed snake.

His speed instantly surpassed the sound barrier, and the multi-eyed snake, with its playful attitude, couldn’t react in time at that moment.

Zhou Leng’s right hand formed a sword with his fingers and pierced into an eye socket, grabbing the apple-sized eyeba,ll and sharply pulled it out.

Twang…

The sound of a steel wire snapping echoed.

Zhou Leng glanced at the strange red and white eye, and casually stored it in a spatial wooden box.

The multi-eyed snake screamed, writhing like a carp thrown into a hot pot, and twisted its body, winding toward Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng remained calm, with True Qi surging in both hands, releasing two-foot-long Void-Breaking Finger Sword Qi, wielding the sword qi.

Swish, swish, swish…

With precise finger technique and swordsmanship, he continuously sliced through the multi-eyed snake’s body, blinding eye after eye.

The multi-eyed snake was strong, but they were too reliant on the hypnotic ability of their eyes. When faced with an opponent like Zhou Leng, whose Martial Arts Will was overwhelming, they were reduced to ordinary beasts with only brute strength, thrashing around futilely.

Zhou Leng had experienced countless battles and trials, how could he fail against such creatures relying on evil techniques…

Boom!

An eye suddenly exploded, and a beam of golden-red evil light shot straight toward Zhou Leng’s forehead.

Zhou Leng, though fully vigilant, still felt his vision darken; a sensation like a giant hammer striking his forehead knocked his head backward, and his body lost control, falling down.

Seeing even Zhou Leng like this, the others felt despair.

The snake opened its mouth—it had no forked tongue, but rather a huge mouth akin to that of a lion or tiger—it laughed out loud and suddenly bit Zhou Leng from shoulder to leg.

Its sharp teeth pierced through Zhou Leng’s skin and flesh, embedding into his body.

Crack…

The sound echoed, signaling disaster; this was the sound of bones fracturing.

The Starry Sky Bloodline was too powerful; even a Great Innate or an unconscious Grandmaster would be snapped in two when bitten once.

But this multi-eyed snake paused for a moment; all of its eyes showed a dumbfounded look. It spat Zhou Leng out in one swift motion.

People looked inside the snake’s mouth.

Three of its teeth were broken, and several bore cracks.

Some trial takers suddenly understood; Zhou Leng had mentioned that he just came out from the Remnant Heaven Bone trial.

That place, after all, was the trial ground of high-level giants.

“Hiss…” Zhou Leng suddenly opened his eyes, feeling intense pain throughout his body.

Looking down, he saw a series of clear, large blood holes covering about one-third of his chest and abdomen, with skin, flesh, and internal organs all bitten through, and his bones ached dully.

Looking up, he saw the shattered teeth of the multi-eyed snake and understood what had happened.

Zhou Leng never expected that his Martial Arts Will, which excelled even the Innate level and could rival ordinary geniuses of high-level civilizations, couldn’t withstand the mental attack of the multi-eyed snake.

The Starry Sky Bloodline was truly extraordinary.

Surviving by a miracle, Zhou Leng placed even more importance on the Starry Sky Bloodline and activated the Dawn Will Method he comprehended from the Tujun Star Stele.

The strength of his Martial Arts Will directly increased by fifty percent.

He dashed forward. The multi-eyed snake repeated its trick, and another eye exploded. A beam of evil light, unhindered, flew into Zhou Leng’s Will World, landing on the Mountain of Will.

Seeing Zhou Leng’s body sway, his eyes closed, falling backward.

The multi-eyed snake sneered, opening its mouth to bite Zhou Leng.

This time, it aimed for Zhou Leng’s neck.

The multi-eyed snake, over thirty meters long, had a mouth large enough to engulf Zhou Leng entirely.

As its large mouth descended, Zhou Leng compressed the ground and propelled himself forward, diving into the giant snake’s mouth.

Dual dragons emerging from the sea.

Zhou Leng, towering like a giant, propped open the snake’s mouth, raising his arms, and the carefully accumulated Qi and Blood Power erupted.

Boom!

An unparalleled penetrating force pierced through the top of the snake’s mouth, creating a massive blood hole vertically.

The power of this strike near its head was enough to kill any giant dragon within the Ten Realms.

Yet the multi-eyed snake merely blacked out and collapsed to the ground, still not dead.

Zhou Leng stood inside the snake’s mouth, gripping the edges of the hole he made, and tore them apart forcefully, like drawing curtains.

“Open for me!”

Tear…

The upper half of the multi-eyed snake’s head split apart, with fresh blood and brain matter bursting out.

But even then, it was not dead. Another eye exploded, and evil light shot out.

With the Tujun Will Method inheritance, Zhou Leng just swayed his body slightly before piercing his hands into the lower snake mouth, tearing it apart to the sides.

Tear.

The lower snake mouth split open.

The entire mouth was torn into four sections by Zhou Leng, blooming like a giant bloody flower on the snake’s body.

The horrifying multi-eyed snake appeared even more bizarre.

The other two multi-eyed snakes, enjoying their feast, slowly retreated.

Zhou Leng leapt out of the snake’s mouth, hammering blow after blow from head to snake neck, smashing flesh and bone into pulp.

With a dozen punches, the multi-eyed snake lay motionless as the sinister eyes slowly closed.

Zhou Leng stood up.

On his chest, abdomen, and left thigh, the massive blood holes were slowly writhing and healing.

Both the Five-Faction group and the multi-eyed snakes stared in a daze at Zhou Leng.

Such terrifying spiritual shock, such horrific bite wounds, yet they couldn’t kill him.

“No one is getting away!”

Zhou Leng, taking advantage of the Dawn Will technique’s effectiveness, charged straight at another many-eyed serpent.

One of the serpent’s eyes exploded, Zhou Leng’s head shook, his body paused, but he advanced once more.

Another serpent eye exploded, Zhou Leng’s head shook again, but he pushed forward…

The many-eyed serpent exploded fourteen of its eyes in a row, Zhou Leng’s gaze was slightly dazed, yet he still charged close.

“Roar…”

The two main eyes on the many-eyed serpent’s head cracked on the surface, oozing blood.

It was practically insane, never having encountered such a strange species. If more eyes exploded, this human would remain unharmed, while its main eyes might shatter first.

It opened its mouth to bite, but recalling the tragic fate of its kin, it hastily retracted its head, then lunged with its entire body, employing its more skilled technique.

Constriction.

The moment it wrapped around Zhou Leng, it breathed a sigh of relief.

Many believed the many-eyed serpent relied on its evil eyes, but only they knew their strongest power lay in constriction.

Against enemies of the same realm, regardless of species, other than sea urchin and porcupine-like species, nothing could withstand their constriction.

Even the Star Dragon clan, if constricted to death, also…

Hmm? Why did it suddenly loosen?

The many-eyed serpent looked down to see that the part of its body wrapping Zhou Leng had suddenly severed.

The sharp Void-Breaking Finger Sword Qi cut through flesh and blood.

Strong hands crushed serpent bones.

What kind of monster is this!

The many-eyed serpent, sliced into three segments, abandoned the other two parts and desperately fled outward, getting slower and slower.

The last many-eyed serpent, seeing this, felt its scales rise as it turned to escape.

“I said, no one is getting away.”

Zhou Leng, drenched in the serpent’s blood, looking like a maniacal blood-soaked figure, rushed behind the third many-eyed serpent.

This serpent was already terrified, not daring to attack, only daring to explode one eye after another.

One, two… seven.

Seven beams of sinister light continuously assaulted Zhou Leng’s Martial Arts Will.

Zhou Leng’s body wavered, yet he pressed forward.

Eight, nine… fourteen.

The many-eyed serpent’s speed sharply decreased, Zhou Leng slightly lowered his head, arms hanging, his steps resolute.

Fifteen, sixteen…

After exploding the twenty-first eye, the many-eyed serpent’s two main eyes shattered, and soon after, its head cracked, brain matter spraying from the bloody eye sockets.

It tenaciously crawled forward for a long while before halting.

The crowd was stunned to see Zhou Leng stagger step by step to the many-eyed serpent’s side, delivering a strike.

Softly, without any Qi and Blood Power, his body collapsed onto the serpent’s corpse.

“Save him!”

At that moment, everyone came to their senses and rushed to rescue him.

In the end, the Giants and Dwarfs first drove away non-Dragon Country martial artists, guarding closely.

The human martial artists were helpless but did not approach.

A team went to hunt the serpent’s body parts.

The Demon Spirit Master came to check.

“His Martial Arts Will was impacted, a normal person should have died, but since he didn’t, it means…he’s still alive.”

“Is that even human language?”

“Let’s guard him first, quickly deal with the injured, and at the same time dismantle the three many-eyed serpents. Zhou Leng… is going to prosper from this.”

The Demon Spirit Master stuffed various pills into Zhou Leng’s mouth, intending to apply external injury medicine, only to find no wounds.

Everyone got busy.

Not far away, monsters approached.

Smelling the blood of the many-eyed serpents and seeing their corpses, they paused momentarily, then fled frantically.

Four hours later, Zhou Leng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze hollow.

The feeling of the Gate of Purgatory was returning.

Zhou Leng wanted to move, but his body refused to obey, his eyes just blankly staring.

Only three, nearly got himself killed.

This was still due to the advantage of Martial Arts Will.

If it were any other Great Innate martial artist, they’d be dead without a doubt.

The Starry Sky Bloodline is indeed perverse.

The future Four Wonders Body must be replaced with the strongest Starry Sky Bloodline!

Like reluctantly getting out of bed, it took a good half an hour before he slowly got up.

His whole body ached, a buzzing in his ears, his brain felt like it was shaking around, as if his head had been used to hammer a bell all day.

“How’s it going?”

Everyone gathered around.

“Not bad, may take a day or two to recover,” Zhou Leng said.

“What a beast, still not dead?”

“Don’t say such things.”

“We were just discussing, our attacks on the many-eyed serpent were like a six-year-old daughter whining to her father, but your attack was like a giant father disciplining his son. So fierce.”

“You got bombarded by dozens of serpent eye evil rays, and you’re awake, yet some guys, just glanced at by the evil eye, are still unconscious.”

Zhou Leng turned his head to see two Dwarfs and two human martial artists lying on open-air stretchers.

A Demon Spirit Master sighed, “You humans, with spiritual power generally less than ours, but always manage to produce those far exceeding us with perversity, like Saint Zhao before you.”

“You don’t understand the status of the many-eyed serpents in our Demon Spirit World. Put it this way, we would not feel disgraced to bow to them.”

“Here’s the dismantled materials from the many-eyed serpents, categorized. The hallucinogenic serpent eyes, don’t sell them individually, sell them together, and it’ll at least trade for a Half-Divine Artifact.” The Demon Spirit Master handed over as many as four ordinary Magic Spirit Bags.

The serpent bodies were too large for a single Magic Spirit Bag to contain.
