The Profound Yellow Fruit had a mark left by the Snake Emperor, so she immediately sensed it had been stolen. A furious roar erupted from her as she transformed into her true form—a colossal python coiling in the sky, blotting out the scorching sun.
Having reverted to her true form, the Snake Emperor's power surged. She was now actually overwhelming Elder Bai—a stark contrast to moments before, when she couldn't gain the slightest advantage against him.
Down on the ground, as if sensing the Snake Emperor's fury, the swarm of snakes besieging Shen Haoran went berserk. The dozen or so Tier Four venomous snakes ganged up, launching a coordinated assault that, for a moment, left even Shen Haoran struggling to keep up.
'Looks like Wanqing succeeded!' With a horizontal sweep of the Black Flame Giant Ruler in his hand, Shen Haoran sliced all the ambushing snakes in two. Flames erupted from the wounds, instantly engulfing their bodies and burning them to ash.
