Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1930 - 1927: Success or Failure Hinges on This

A sharp axe energy instantly surged out, like a golden stream of light cutting through the sky, hitting the giant serpent directly.

The giant serpent, in pain, let out a deafening roar, its enormous body twisting in the air, then swiftly dived underwater, churning up the lake’s surface.

Li Jiayin was still shaken, her heart pounding violently in her chest, as if it were about to leap out of her throat.

At this moment, in Xu Wendong’s arms, she found a trace of safety. She slowly lifted her head, looking at the man who saved her, her heart filled with an indescribable emotion.

She knew well.

If not for Xu Wendong’s timely intervention, she would have likely met her end in the serpent’s mouth.

"Junior brother, thank you," she said softly, her voice carrying a slight tremble.

However, Xu Wendong’s expression remained serious, not relaxing his vigilance even slightly: "Senior sister, the danger hasn’t passed yet. We should retreat first."

Sure enough.

Just as he finished speaking, the giant serpent lurking underwater burst forth once more.

It turned out that it had dived underwater earlier to gather strength, preparing to launch a more ferocious attack.

"Go quickly!"

Xu Wendong shouted, using all his might to toss Li Jiayin toward the shore, ensuring she wouldn’t be bitten by the serpent.

But this left Xu Wendong himself in peril.

"Junior brother!" Tears glistened in Li Jiayin’s beautiful eyes, watching Xu Wendong face the serpent alone to save her. She was deeply moved and equally worried.

"Courting death!" Xu Wendong bellowed, his voice resonating like a thunderclap through the clouds.

The Mountain Splitting River Breaking Axe in his hand was raised high, the blade brimming with formidable Yin energy.

As he chopped down with all his strength.

A powerful surge of Yin energy erupted instantly, rampaging in the serpent’s mouth, forming a gust of wind that violently churned the surrounding lake waters...

A piercing Yin wind howled as it swept in, emitting a sharp whistle.

Xu Wendong’s soul power surged wildly, like a rolling black tide, continuously converging into the Mountain Splitting River Breaking Axe in his hands.

His gaze was as fierce as a hawk’s, staring intently at the giant serpent baring its fangs and claws in front of him, an astonishing murderous intent flickering in his eyes.

Exerting all his strength, he swung the axe fiercely, the blade enveloped in boundless power, tracing a black shadow through the air, striking directly at the serpent’s gaping mouth.

With a ripping sound, as if tearing through space, countless gruesome wounds instantly spread inside the serpent’s mouth, blood gushing out like a fountain, staining the surrounding lake water red.

This giant serpent was astonishingly huge, at least twenty zhang long, like a moving hill.

Its scales were like a hard armor, gleaming with a cold light, emitting a chilling aura.

Xu Wendong keenly perceived that this serpent’s cultivation level might have reached the Sixth Level of Tongyou Realm, a terrifying power far beyond what he could handle.

In the Netherworld, Netherworld Beasts were inherently more formidable than humans of the same realm.

They possessed bodies far surpassing ordinary humans, tough and thick-skinned, with astounding defense, utterly unafraid of ordinary human attacks.

Typically, to deal with a Netherworld Beast at the Sixth Level of the Tongyou Realm, at least three human experts of the same level would need to team up.

However, Xu Wendong and Li Jiayin clearly didn’t have that kind of strength.

Before this giant serpent, they seemed so small and fragile!

Yet, Xu Wendong did not retreat.

In the brief clash, he used his keen insight to discover a flaw in the giant serpent — its mouth.

Though filled with sharp fangs, it was relatively weaker in defense compared to other parts of its body.

"Roar!"

The giant serpent let out a deafening roar, its sound echoing like a bell to the heavens, vaguely exuding the majesty similar to a dragon’s call.

With the axe repeatedly hacking into its mouth, deep wounds became a shocking sight, blood gushing out profusely, turning the surrounding lake water a dark red.

The giant serpent, in immense pain, twisted its massive body violently in the water, stirring the lake into tumultuous waves, casting waves several zhang high.

Unable to bear such excruciating pain, it swung its head violently, retreating into the water in agony before it could bite Xu Wendong.

But it wasn’t giving up just yet, secretly gathering strength underwater, preparing to launch a third, more powerful attack.

This time.

It targeted Li Jiayin.

For it knew well that Xu Wendong’s treasure weapon, exuding a powerful aura, posed a great threat, while Li Jiayin was relatively weaker, easier to target.

"Senior sister, we need to retreat first!" Xu Wendong shouted anxiously.

Li Jiayin was not a fool, faced with such a formidable opponent, she knew well that their combined strength was far from enough.

Without hesitation, she nodded, quickly retreating with Xu Wendong to the lakeshore.

Seeing them retreat, the giant serpent slowly raised its head.

Its eyes glowed green, like ghostly flames, fixated on Xu Wendong and Li Jiayin, as if warning them that if they dared to step closer, it would launch an attack without hesitation.

"This beast is so powerful." Li Jiayin’s face was clouded like an impending storm, anger and unwillingness gleaming in her eyes.

She never expected such a terrifying fierce beast to be guarding the seemingly tranquil Lake Heart Island.

The situation had become extremely tricky.

The very presence of the giant serpent was like an insurmountable mountain blocking their path to Lake Heart Island, let alone collecting the Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass to save her father’s life.

Xu Wendong frowned, a trace of deep thought in his eyes.

He gently patted Li Jiayin’s shoulder, trying to offer her some comfort and encouragement: "Senior sister, if we can’t win by force, let’s think of a way to outsmart it."

Hearing this, Li Jiayin couldn’t help but show a puzzled expression. Could Xu Wendong have really thought of a strategy?

Xu Wendong took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, as if inhaling all the surrounding air.

Soon, a mysterious and enigmatic aura emanated from him, like faint smoke, slowly enveloping his body.

Then, he walked slowly toward the lake with steady steps.

Li Jiayin was stunned. She watched Xu Wendong right in front of her, yet strangely, she couldn’t sense his presence at all.

As he walked, Xu Wendong explained: "Snakes have poor vision; they usually rely on sensing human auras to lock onto targets."

"Senior sister, now we need you to attract the giant serpent’s attention, so I can slip onto Lake Heart Island and pick the Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass!"

"Success or failure hinges on this!"
