Chapter 1500 - 1480: Battle to the Death

Yang Xiao saw the confrontation between the Six-Wing Centipede Demon Beast and the Ghost Snake and suddenly had an idea. If he could get these two demon beasts to fight, it would surely be a beautiful solution.

Judging by their stance, it seemed like neither was afraid of the other. Yang Xiao deduced that their genetic evolution levels were similar.

Seeing that the Six-Wing Centipede only threatened verbally without launching an attack, he then tried to lure the Six-Wing Centipede to attack the Ghost Snake.

Demon beasts can also use the devoured flesh and blood of their opponents to accelerate their evolution.

For the Ghost Snake and the Six-Wing Centipede, both parties were rare and precious evolution resources.

Although the Six-Wing Centipede could evolve into a humanoid form, it still didn't possess human thinking and clever wisdom.

At this moment, hearing the conversation between Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe, it felt a sudden joy in its heart.

If it could defeat the Ghost Snake, consume its flesh and blood, and then eat the brains of Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe, it would be simply marvelous.

With an angry roar, the massive body of the Six-Wing Centipede pounced towards the Ghost Snake like lightning.

The Ghost Snake, enraged, swept its giant tail instantly.

"Boom!"

The two emperor-level advanced realm demon beasts clashed fiercely.

Xing Zhe lightly poked Yang Xiao and whispered in his ear:

"Should we run?"

Yang Xiao shook his head and whispered,

"If we run, these two beasts might stop fighting and come after us. We can't let them get distracted now; we have to make them focus on the fight, make them think that defeating the other is the key to enjoying a feast of us."

Xing Zhe: "..."

This was using themselves as bait!

Actually, Yang Xiao's guess was correct. Even though the two beasts were fighting with full force, they still separated a part of their divine sense to watch over Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe. Seeing they hadn't fled, the beasts were at ease.

Thus, the battle between the Ghost Snake and the Six-Wing Centipede grew fiercer.

The stone walls and ground of the entire cave were almost shattered, and Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe had to dodge the flying stones everywhere.

"You damn centipede, you dare to fight me, today I will eat you."

"Bah, one-eyed snake, you used to act so mighty, today is your death day, I've waited long for this day."

The Ghost Snake and the Six-Wing Centipede occasionally exchanged harsh words as they fought.

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe stood in a distant dark corner, nervously watching the fierce battle between the two beasts.

To be honest, they couldn't really see the specifics of the fight anymore. For one, it was too dark in the cave, and the dust and rubble from their battle had long concealed their massive bodies.

Yang Xiao even thought, could this enormous cave, hundreds of meters high, have been smashed out by these beasts fighting regularly?

"Bang bang bang...."

"Boom boom boom...."

The giant clash sounds kept ringing, the mountain shaking.

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe were dodging flying stones, hearts full of fear, worried that the whole cave might collapse and bury them alive.

Why weren't these beasts worried about collapsing the cave?

The Six-Wing Centipede realized that the Ghost Snake's combat power was indeed weaker today, but not as weak as Yang Xiao had said.

At this point, the Six-Wing Centipede was already in too deep, unable to stop or reconcile.

Even if the Six-Wing Centipede wanted to stop, the Ghost Snake probably wouldn't let it go easily,

So the Six-Wing Centipede had no choice but to grit its teeth and continue fighting.

While fighting, its resentment toward Yang Xiao deepened, thinking that once it defeated the Ghost Snake, it would torment these lying humans well.

Why didn't people have any integrity nowadays? Actually lying?

The Ghost Snake was fighting miserably; its left eye was blinded, greatly affecting its combat judgment and responsiveness,

Moreover, the three long wounds on its body from Yang Xiao were painfully evident as the fight wore on, especially during tail swipes, causing sharp pain that tormented the Ghost Snake.

However, the Ghost Snake couldn't withdraw from the fight; otherwise, not only wouldn't it be able to eat Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe, it might also get eaten by the Six-Wing Centipede.

Fight, grit your teeth and fight, once the damn centipede is defeated, its legs shall be ripped off one by one.

Another half an hour passed, and Yang Xiao felt that the cave's area had probably expanded by about one-third, with rubble everywhere.

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe couldn't rest easy as mere witnesses; they had to constantly dodge the residual effects of the beasts' attacks and the flying debris.

Later on, they simply conjured defensive light shields in front of them to block the flying stones, only dodging when the Ghost Snake or Six-Wing Centipede charged at them directly.

Several times, the Ghost Snake pretended to hit Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe, suddenly lunging to sneak attack, attempting to devour them, scaring them into swiftly escaping.

Yang Xiao shouted,

"Oh no, the Ghost Snake wants to eat me, how vicious!"

"If the Ghost Snake eats us, it won't have to fight the Six-Wing Centipede, and can escape. The Six-Wing Centipede isn't a match for the Ghost Snake; surely it fears the Ghost Snake, not daring to pursue."

"Yeah, the Ghost Snake is so treacherous, while the Six-Wing Centipede is honest, without all those tricks."

"Six-Wing Centipede, you can do it, I'm rooting for you!"

...

After hearing Yang Xiao's words, the Six-Wing Centipede let out a roar of anger, fighting the Ghost Snake with all its might, especially blocking the Ghost Snake whenever it approached Yang Xiao, determined not to let itself be busy for nothing.

The Ghost Snake, infuriated, shrieked at Yang Xiao:

"You two foolish humans, shut up!"

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe: "..."

The Six-Wing Centipede suddenly chuckled and said:

"These two are indeed quite foolish; even while we fought, they didn't take the chance to escape. It's the first time I've seen such stupid people. Could it be humans outside are regressing in genetic evolution?

Oh no, I slipped up,"

The Six-Wing Centipede said as it continued to fiercely battle the Ghost Snake.

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe could only play dumb, standing in the dark corner cheering for the Six-Wing Centipede.

Maybe Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe's support inspired the Six-Wing Centipede because the Ghost Snake got repeatedly scratched by its claws, dislodging its hard scales and causing streams of blood.

After prolonged fighting, both beasts were injured, exhausted, but neither dared to quit.

"Damn centipede, I'll fight you to the death!"

With a roar, the Ghost Snake's long tail suddenly wrapped around the Six-Wing Centipede's body, its entire body swiftly following suit, trying to coil around the Six-Wing Centipede.

Though part of the Six-Wing Centipede was entrapped, it had many claws. Tied down three or four, it still had dozens more.

The Six-Wing Centipede, encircled by the Ghost Snake's massive body, was getting constricted tighter and tighter.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

The Six-Wing Centipede, with all its remaining strength, gripped onto the Ghost Snake's body with each claw, piercing through its scales and into the flesh.

(Today, February 13, I'm returning from my hometown to Guangdong for work, over a thousand kilometers away. It's likely the road will be clogged, and I might arrive very late in Guangdong. I stayed up late to finish this chapter. If it's too late when I reach Guangzhou, there'll only be this update; if I can make it by 10 PM, I'll try to write a second update, please forgive me!)
