Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 315: Your snake is fiesty Part3

The elf's eyes bulged in anticipation as he watched the dark slash hit the woman's neck.

However, the very next instant, his eyes drooped lifelessly.

The black smoke that had reached her neck simply bounced off or rather dispersed away as if it had met a dead end.

As soon as he saw that, the elf knew that something was wrong here. 

He immediately quickened his steps and tried to move back when the loose earth made him stumble.

Tang Yue grinned. 

She hadn't made the ground loosen up to thwart the man's offense, rather she had always been aiming for his retreat.

The sword in Tang Yue's hand slashed forward not allowing the elf to retreat back easily.

"Did I say that you can leave?" 

She hissed and unleashed three consecutive sword beams, interlaced within them, and shrouding the beams was a thick flame.

This was the highlight of Tang Yue's progress in swordplay from these last few weeks.

She was able to combine her fire magic with her swordplay, making her attacks twice as powerful and twice as domineering.

The elf gritted his teeth and blocked the first attack, but he was too slow to deal with the other two.

He had thought that he was fast but right now the man couldn't even fathom his opponent's agility.

Was she really only a Saint realm expert?

A question arose in his heart, sending shivers down his spine.

The man struggled as he used the full power of his cultivation base to support himself and spring back to the rest of his group.

The last two slashes had cut open his armor, leaving bloody gashes on his chest.

Blood spilled out from his muscular body as another General stepped forward and held him.

The men's faces which were smug and confident earlier had now visibly darkened.

The woman in front of them was clearly unaffected by dark elemental energy. How was that even possible?

Among the various elements, the dark element had the strongest offensive power.

The Generals, in fact, were considered powerful mainly because of this.

But the woman in front of them seemed to be resilient to this attack.

The five Generals quickly exchanged looks with each other as their situation appeared dire.

Their elemental attacks were ineffective and the opponent also seemed to be unusually strong.

Now they understood why only this one fought with them, whilst the other enclosed herself in an air-tight defensive barrier.

That also meant that their highest chance of success in this battle would be bringing the weaker one out and threatening the spirit beast by holding her hostage.

Moreover, they held the advantage in numbers, so they were not planning on giving up just yet.

The five elves exchanged glances and the taller one among them immediately stepped forward.

He had a huge scar covering his face and he brandished a monstrous scythe as his weapon.

He instantly stepped forward in a defensive stance as the other four Generals stood in a triangle formation, three at corners and one in the center.

The elves in the formation started chanting something loudly, their language unknown to both Tang Yue and Charlotte.

But seeing that this was not going to end well, Tang Yue rushed forward and clashed with the tall man.

Her soul sword hadn't grown fully yet, so the metal shivered and trembled from the impact of the attack.

The scythe did not look like a normal weapon. Was it a spirit weapon?

Tang Yue immediately dismissed her sword and quickly ducked down, using the time to take out another weapon, an upgraded rare weapon that she had personally forged, one that was dripping with her venom.

"Little Plum" She shouted and the wolf standing in a corner vanished, becoming a ball of flames.

The fireball dashed towards the elf, blinding him momentarily and Tang Yue used this opportunity to slash her sword again, sending a couple of sword beams towards the elf, and also slashing down on the man with her sword to imprint her venom.

Both the attacks were powerful and the elf couldn't block both of them at the same time.

But he instinctively ignored Little Plum's attack and focused on blocking Tang Yue's as that was far more powerful and dangerous.

The fire ball's impact burned his face and his eyes but the man pushed back Tang Yue's sword and her venom didn't cut through him.

Their clash sent both of them flying back, one injured far more than the other.

But unfortunately, this allowed the other Generals in the back to successfully finish whatever they were doing.

By the time Tang Yue managed to get back on her feet, black smoke rose from the ground beneath her.

Charlotte wanted to break her barrier and intervene but she knew that she would only hinder Tang Yue if she did so.

Dealing with dark elemental attacks was her only weakness.

So she could only silently watch for an opportunity and panic inwardly.

Just what the hell is this black smoke?

Tang Yue looked at the ground and then looked at the four Generals.

Thick fumes of dark elemental energy enveloped them, pouring out of thin air. It formed a barrier around them.

Just by looking at it, Tang Yue could tell that the barrier was a strong one, something that she wouldn't be able to penetrate.

At the same time, the fumes rising from the ground underneath also didn't harm her.

It was a stalemate.

As she pondered about this situation cautiously, she suddenly saw the other injured elf getting up from the ground with a visible smirk on his face.

"You are dead now." He mouthed the words with great difficulty.

Who was the one with the upper hand here? Tang Yue's lips twitched and she stepped forward to finish the guy fully.

But suddenly blocking her path something dark and black materialized.

Tang Yue's head banged against the figure which was tangible and intangible at the same time.

She looked up in shock, only to see two flaming dark red eyes staring down at her, eyes that could only belong to something that shouldn't exist in this world.
