Chapter 2076 Tang Siblings (1)
"Hah!" With a battle cry that echoed across the landscape, Tang Wei launched himself towards the colossal serpent. Compared to the beast, he was a mere speck, easily swallowed whole. Yet, his defiance was undeniable, his attack a desperate act of rebellion against an overwhelming force.
The Lower God beast, surprised by his audacity, turned its molten eyes towards Tang Wei. A snort of amusement rumbled from its throat, the sound shaking the very foundation of the land. It barely registered Tang Wei's attack, the energy blade leaving a minor scorch mark on its obsidian scales.
"Roar!"
The serpent unleashed a retaliatory swipe with its massive tail. The air crackled with raw power as the appendage whipped through it. In the blink of an eye, Tang Wei's defiant charge was met with an unstoppable force.
Boom!
The energy blade in Tang Wei's hand shattered on impact, its fragments scattering like dust.
Just as the serpent's tail was about to connect with Tang Wei, a blinding flash of blue light erupted from the side, throwing itself between the two. The light coalesced, revealing Tang Yumei, her hand outstretched, a crackling orb of pure energy shimmering in her palm.
Bang!
The force from the orb slammed into the serpent's tail, sending a shockwave through the air. The colossal appendage, imbued with the beast's immense power, was momentarily deflected. The ground beneath the point of impact exploded in a crater, sending dust and debris swirling into the sky.
A surprised hiss escaped the serpent's maw. Its amusement was quickly replaced by a flicker of annoyance, then fury, as it realized this new opponent. Tang Yumei, her face set in a mask of fierce determination, pushed her energy further, the blue orb intensifying in its glow.
Tang Yumei narrowed her eyes and let out a battle cry as she unleashed the full force of the attack.
Boom!
The concentrated blast of energy struck the serpent's underbelly, a vulnerable spot less protected by its thick scales. The beast recoiled with a deafening screech, its massive body thrown back several meters.
The impact sent tremors through the ground, causing Tang Wei to stumble and lose his footing. He watched in awe as his sister, seemingly unfazed by the colossal creature she faced, landed gracefully a few meters away from him.
Despite the dust still settling around him and the aftershocks vibrating the earth, Tang Wei couldn't help the grin that spread across his face.
He shot his sister a quick thumbs up, a silent "good job" amidst the chaos. Relief and a surge of pride washed over him. Tang Yumei, ever the dependable older sister, had arrived just in the nick of time.
Tang Yumei, however, didn't have time to acknowledge her brother's playful praise. The colossal serpent, its fury now a tangible presence in the air, reared its head and let out a deafening roar that challenged the very heavens.
The beast's molten eyes locked onto Tang Yumei, burning with an otherworldly hatred. It charged forward, its body a battering ram of pure rage aiming to crush the audacious human who dared to wound it.
Undeterred, Tang Yumei met the serpent's charge head-on. Her hands danced, weaving intricate patterns in the air. With each movement, the blue energy that crackled around her intensified, swirling and coalescing into a shimmering shield before her.
Bang!
The serpent slammed into the shield with a force that could level mountains. The ground groaned under the impact, and cracks snaked outwards like spiderwebs. Yet, the shield held, the blue energy absorbing the brunt of the attack.
Tang Yumei, pushed back by the sheer force of the collision, gritted her teeth. She knew the brute defense wouldn't be enough. She needed to find a way to exploit the serpent's weakness, the underbelly exposed by her previous attack. But with the beast's relentless assault, finding an opening would be a challenge.
The wind whipped through Yun Lintian's long hair as he surveyed the scene – Tang Yumei struggling to hold against the serpent's onslaught, Tang Wei dazed but recovering.
He turned to look at his companions and asked. "Who wants to take it?"
"Leave this one to me," Han Bingling was the first to respond. A cold energy immediately appeared around her body.
The air shimmered as Han Bingling stepped forward. Unlike Tang Yumei's vibrant blue energy, hers was a chilling frost that seemed to suck the heat from the very air. The temperature plummeted, causing Tang Wei to shiver.
Tang Wei opened his mouth wide as he looked at Han Bingling. He immediately realized she wasn't a God Emperor but a Lower God… a mighty one!
With a flick of her wrist, Han Bingling sent out a wave of pure cold. It wasn't a direct attack but rather a creeping frost that snaked toward the colossal serpent, encasing its massive lower body in a layer of shimmering ice. The serpent, distracted by its rage against Tang Yumei, barely noticed the subtle change until it was too late.
"Hiss!" A surprised hiss tore from its throat as the cold solidified, quickly spreading up its underbelly, the vulnerable spot revealed by Tang Yumei's attack. The beast writhed in fury, thrashing against the encroaching frost, but it seemed to have a life of its own, spreading with an unnatural speed.
Seeing the opportunity, Tang Yumei seized the moment. With a renewed surge of energy, she launched a concentrated blast towards the serpent's head, just where the ice met its obsidian scales.
BANG!
The impact of the attack wasn't meant to cause a major injury but rather to create a point of least resistance for the rapidly spreading frost.
The plan worked. The combined onslaught proved too much. The ice, fueled by both Han Bingling and the energy blast, shattered the serpent's defenses.
In a matter of seconds, the previously exposed underbelly was completely encased in a thick layer of ice, hindering its movement and causing its fiery breath to sputter into impotent puffs of mist.
The colossal serpent, once a terrifying force of nature, now resembled a grotesque statue, frozen mid-strike. Its remaining molten eye glinted with a desperate fury, but it was trapped, rendered powerless by the combined might of the two beauties.
A tense silence descended upon the battlefield. Slowly, the serpent's struggles subsided. The once vibrant red glow emanating from its body dimmed, replaced by a dull grey, the telltale sign of its defeat. With a final shudder, the colossal serpent went still, a frozen monument to the audacity of mortals who dared to challenge a god…
