White light flickered incessantly around them.
A strange aura began to spread.
The one-eyed man was stunned for just a moment before he reacted.
He sneered.
"So what if you set up a formation? This is the Demon Pagoda. No formation can be stronger than the one belonging to the master here."
"Even if you set up your formation, it will be swallowed."
He looked at Zhang Tian as if he were an idiot.
Hu Xue also turned her gaze to Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian was a formation master. He should have known this already.
Yet, he still set up this formation, which must have a reason.
As expected, when Hu Xue looked at Zhang Tian, Zhang Tian also spoke.
"That's precisely why I had to set up this formation."
"I used my formation, infused with some of the West Queen Mother's attainment in formations, to create an antagonistic repulsion between the two formations."
"When two formations repel each other, what do you think will happen?"
Zhang Tian's lips curved upward.
The reason Zhang Tian could easily set up the formation was simple: the one-eyed man was too arrogant.
He had never used his full strength, as if he were playing with a child.
Every time he said he would defeat Zhang Tian, he never truly made a move. This was simply him toying with Zhang Tian.
Because of this, he hadn't noticed Zhang Tian setting up the formation.
Even if he had seen it, he probably wouldn't have paid attention, as he believed the West Queen Mother's formations were the strongest.
After Zhang Tian finished speaking.
Hu Xue was suddenly shocked.
Zhang Tian had sat on her level for so long before.
Had he comprehended this then!
He hadn't just grasped the West Queen Mother's formation attainment and then infused his own knowledge.
How monstrous was this person?!
Hu Xue gasped, realizing that if she were to fight him, she might also be at a disadvantage. He was too cunning.
The one-eyed man's pupils contracted.
His mind raced.
"Mutual repulsion, wouldn't that cause an explosion..."
As he thought of this, the surrounding space seemed to begin to tremble.
Then, a powerful force began to emanate from Zhang Tian's crystals.
Simultaneously, as the crystals generated this formidable power, the aura of this level of the Demon Pagoda also started to fluctuate.
Gradually, a terrifying energy began to seep from the Demon Pagoda.
"Kid, you..."
Even if Zhang Tian hadn't said it, Hu Xue knew they couldn't just watch anymore.
If they continued to watch, Zhang Tian would truly be finished.
"Mm."
Hu Xue nodded. Her fingernails grew, forming sharp claws.
"The Fox Clan allying with humans, how laughable."
"Have you forgotten what happened a thousand years ago? Humans are a deceitful lot."
The colossal snake head spoke.
It was evident that it also worried about Zhang Tian and Hu Xue forming an alliance.
After all, if they allied, it would be difficult for it to deal with two people in its current injured state.
"That was a thousand years ago."
Hu Xue replied, but a glint flashed in her eyes.
"Haha, I understand."
The Serpent God laughed heartily, as if it had figured something out.
"You distract him, I'll attack."
Zhang Tian looked at Hu Xue.
Hu Xue nodded, her form transforming into a streak of white light as she charged forward.
Zhang Tian waved his hand, and his peach wood sword also erupted with arcs of lightning.
The two of them moved almost instantly, heading directly for the giant snake's weak points.
Hu Xue unleashed her aura, and Zhang Tian realized she was not at all inferior to the Serpent God before them.
This showed that Hu Xue's strength was considerable, even if her power had diminished.
"Bang bang!"
Hu Xue's hands continuously struck the Serpent God's body.
The black scales were instantly scratched by Hu Xue, creating several wounds.
"A roar!"
As Hu Xue's attacks landed, the Serpent God let out a fierce cry.
Its tail lashed out instantly.
The immense force sent Hu Xue staggering backward.
The Serpent God remained silent, but its tail thrashed wildly.
The overwhelming aura prevented Zhang Tian from advancing even an inch.
Zhang Tian frowned slightly.
This fellow could actually block the attacks of two people at once; he was quite formidable, to be honest.
But Zhang Tian wasn't worried. The Serpent God was already injured and couldn't last long.
Moreover, Hu Xue's strength was enough to wear it down even if it took time.
However, it was worth noting that after revealing its true form, the Serpent God's strength, power, and defense had increased significantly.
Zhang Tian's peach wood sword struck it as if hitting a steel plate.
Unless he used the Azure Lightning, it would be difficult to injure it.
Fortunately, with Hu Xue providing cover, the Serpent God couldn't do anything for a while.
The Serpent God clearly understood that continuing this way would be greatly disadvantageous to it.
As Hu Xue's claws continued to strike, the Serpent God's head suddenly began to tremble violently.
On its head, its massive eyes started to emit an eerie glow.
Black and purple light appeared continuously, and Hu Xue's expression changed instantly.
Zhang Tian's brow furrowed. What kind of move was this?
