Jiang Ke’er calmly looked at the so-called Brother Nian.
“Qing Yi is my senior sister, Jiang Ke’er is my eldest senior sister, and I’m the third.”
“…”
After all, Qiao Xiaoxian’s Disguise Technique was flawless.
After taking out an ordinary Soul-Mirroring Mirror and probing Jiang Ke’er, the people around could only believe Jiang Ke’er’s explanation.
They didn’t know that there existed a Disguise Technique in this world that even the Soul-Mirroring Mirror couldn’t see through.
“This wave is a huge profit!” Brother Nian rejoiced.
“It’s too wasteful to use her as a trade captive. We should hand her over to His Majesty or the Tribulation Immortal Hall… This is Jiang Ke’er and Qing Yi’s junior sister!”
Zhao Yue wanted to say something but stopped.
He vaguely felt that Brother Nian’s method was somewhat unscrupulous, but the identity Jiang Ke’er had revealed was truly a matter of great importance.
The people around were already excitedly looking forward to making a huge profit.
If he dared to voice any opinion that didn’t fit in at this time, he feared he wouldn’t be able to save her and would even risk his own life.
“Keep a close watch on her. Don’t let her escape!” Brother Nian snarled fiercely, giving the order.
Jiang Ke’er wasn’t panicked at all. She had been staring at the hand Brother Nian used to hold the light orb.
“Don’t you notice something’s wrong?” Jiang Ke’er frowned at Brother Nian.
“What’s wrong?” Brother Nian asked, puzzled.
He subconsciously glanced at his own hand and only then noticed that the light orb seemed… smaller than when he first obtained it? Upon closer inspection, he could see wisps of light and strange runes seeping into his palm.
The light orb wasn’t naturally dispersing; it looked smaller because it was fusing with his body.
“Is this the power that can break the Void Serpent God’s Venom?” Brother Nian looked excitedly at the light orb in his hand. He could feel a brand new energy system being born inside him, forming an entirely different cultivation circuit.
This strange white light, which looked like a good thing no matter how you looked at it, was bringing unprecedented massive changes to his body!
However, this change seemed to have a small side effect…
He could feel his skin gradually becoming hard, and faint scale patterns quickly appeared on his arm.
“Ughhhh—”
A maddening itching sensation quickly spread throughout his body. Brother Nian’s mouth was open, but he couldn’t speak.
At first, he could still scratch his whole body to relieve the itch, scratching off layers of terrifying scale-like dandruff.
But as time went on, the situation developed… His hands and feet actually began to degenerate and atrophy! It looked like they were about to shrink back into his body!
“So this is… the power to resist the Void Serpent God…” His bleeding pupils still held a crazy expectation: “Powerful power… I can endure… Hahaha… Power…”
At some point, Brother Nian was already lying prostrate on the ground, his body twisting and rolling like a clumsy lizard.
But the discomfort didn’t dissipate at all; instead, it gradually turned from itching into extreme pain.
Every inch of his skin bore pain beyond the limits of nerves. Brother Nian couldn’t help but scream madly.
“No… don’t…” His chest heaved violently, as if something was hitting his chest from inside his body.
“Save me… save me…”
Brother Nian’s crazily expectant eyes gradually turned into pleading. He looked at the people around him with a begging gaze.
“I know I was wrong… please… don’t… please…”
Jiang Ke’er’s gaze was indifferent.
Even if she wanted to save him, she couldn’t.
She had been watching the changes in Brother Nian’s body.
She had seen Demons transform and had seen Jie Shui’s Lycanthropy, but all of them followed the most basic rules of biological form evolution—an evolution traceable under Spiritual Power.
But what Brother Nian was experiencing this time had completely exceeded her understanding.
New physical signs were constantly appearing out of nowhere in his body.
What was being shattered wasn’t just his genes, and what was happening wasn’t simply “evolution”—it was more like an indescribable, completely illogical “change,” as absurd as turning an apple into a pig.
A mysterious power from an unknown source descended upon his body, bringing strange and irreversible changes.
Soon, even his severely degenerated short limbs disappeared without a trace.
His eyes completely turned into huge golden vertical pupils, without eyelids or nictitating membranes—those were the eyes of a snake.
“Bam—”
Brother Nian lay flat on the ground, and violent banging sounds came from his chest.
With each violent impact, a torn-like gap gradually appeared in Brother Nian’s chest.
The gap was forcibly stretched open.
A slightly pointed triangular head, covered with blood and mucus, was exposed to the air, flicking its tongue.
By this time, Brother Nian was left with only a dry, snakeskin-like shell.
The new Brother Nian, born by bursting out of his abdomen, had completely turned into a giant snake.
At this point, he had completely lost his self-awareness.
From his mouth came a familiar voice that sent chills down Zhao Yue and the others’ spines.
“Oh, so you’re all here…”
It was the voice of the Void Serpent God.
Brother Nian’s body had completely become a part of the Void Serpent God’s body, controlled by the Void Serpent God’s will.
What’s more, it spit venom from its mouth and lunged at everyone!
Its massive snake body launched into the air, aiming at Zhao Yue! Zhao Yue had just been maintaining a Spiritual Shield to resist the poison, and now his Spiritual Power was depleted, leaving him unable to defend himself.
The people around were already so terrified by the situation that their minds had shut down, and they forgot to help Zhao Yue!
“Clang—”
A faint wind blade flashed, and sword light met it head-on! Brother Nian’s snake-transformed body collided with the sword light, and to everyone’s surprise, it made a crisp sound of weapons clashing.
“Even the skin has become as hard as the Void Serpent God’s,” Jiang Ke’er said, looking at the ordinary long sword that shattered instantly from the blow.
She felt troubled but also very excited.
At this hardness, even Peerless Beauty and Frost Shadow would probably find it hard to cut through.
And it had achieved such a seemingly miraculous transformation with just a small ball of code light. What exactly was that thing?
“But you are not the Void Serpent God after all!”
Seizing the moment as Brother Nian lunged again, Jiang Ke’er saw an opportunity, drew a new sword, and shot it into Brother Nian’s snake mouth, straight into his soft insides. Unlike the Void Serpent God’s massive size, even if the Void Serpent God was stuffed with many flying swords, it wouldn’t cause much damage… But Brother Nian’s size was still within the range of a regular python, so a single sword could inflict severe internal damage.
“Ah, this is bad. I’m out. You can handle the pain,” “Brother Nian” suddenly spoke, then his body stiffened.
Obviously, the Void Serpent God released its control over Brother Nian, leaving him to endure the agony of his guts being torn and shredded.
“Hiss hiss hiss—”
Brother Nian contorted his body in pain, constantly emitting hissing sounds.
Snakes have well-developed nerves; even if their heads are cut off, they won’t die for a while.
So he was forced to endure an extremely long and painful journey before his life finally ended.
After his death, his body eerily and quickly disintegrated into ash.
And that faint, sweet-smelling white light was perfectly preserved.
What’s even more terrifying…
This time, it rushed straight toward Jiang Ke’er!
