Chapter 650: Encirclement and Suppression of King Cobra
Things really did go beyond Yang Le's expectations. Although there were many twists and turns, things were generally moving in a good direction.

Yang Le’s previous actions did deal a severe blow to the Viper Gang. For example, no one knew where the escaped minions and civilians had gone to.

The former is easier to deal with, as they rely on the Viper Gang, and most of them will come back to take a look after the storm has subsided. The latter have finally gained freedom and escaped successfully, so it is impossible for them to come back honestly. We can only wait for the main force to regroup before catching them.

Generally speaking, the former and the latter will appear again, but it will take some time. At least today, there are only a few high-ranking members left in the ruins of the Viper Gang after the attack.

Reed and his team chose to launch the assault at a time when manpower was scarce, which indeed saved them a lot of trouble. At least they didn't have to feel stumbling when using their superpowers.

Not only that, the leaders of the Viper Gang, except King Cobra and Black Mamba, were all injured to varying degrees. In order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation, King Cobra was about to help them with treatment when Reed and his men attacked.

There was no way the King Cobra could just give them some simple treatment, and the leaders had to go into battle with injuries. The most seriously injured, the Giant Adder, was knocked down before he could even fight the Stone Man twice.

The giant viper's fangs had not yet grown out, so it could only rely on spitting venom through its mouth. Not only was its efficiency greatly reduced, but its threat in close combat was also greatly reduced. It was defeated in just two hits.

Now, within two minutes of the start of the fight, two people were knocked down. The remaining leaders were also injured and had not yet recovered their physical strength, so they were defeated one after another by Reed and others after they seized their weaknesses.

The entire assault went smoothly. Before they could even implement their plan of setting fire and encircling the Viper Gang, only two leaders were left. However, it was these two remaining people who made it difficult for Reed and his men to capture them for a long time.

These two people are naturally the King Cobra and the Black Mamba. Leaving the latter aside for now, the King Cobra, as the leader, is indeed very capable, especially with the help of powerful black magic props like the seven-headed snake staff.

Yang Le also noticed that because he had never encountered black magic before, even a super genius like Reed didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

However, thanks to Yang Le weakening Set's power, King Cobra was somewhat unable to use the seven-headed snake staff, but King Cobra on the battlefield was unaware of this.

King Cobra only knew that no matter how he called out, the great snake god Set ignored him, and the power displayed by his snake staff was not even one tenth of what it was before, otherwise he would have been able to defeat the attackers long ago.

"Why? Did I anger the god Set?"

King Cobra thought this in his mind more than once, but he knew that now was not the time to think about it. If he didn't focus on the battle, he might not have the chance to know the answer.

Helplessly, he could only temporarily put aside his dependence on the snake staff and start using another power given to him by Set. Like other leaders, he could also transform into a half-human, half-snake monster.

Just like his code name, the snake man he transformed into had obvious cobra features, an oval head, and a flat, wide neck. If you ignore the human-like body, the only difference between him and a real cobra would be the size.

The king cobra that turned into a snake man was extremely ferocious. Among Reed and his companions, only Ben, a stone man with thick skin and flesh, could confront him head-on. Seeing the snake man's strength that could crush rocks with just a charge, no one else dared to approach him.

The battle was drawing to a close. Even though the King Cobra on the field was displaying its might, seemingly invincible and unstoppable, it was merely an appearance. Even if it had transformed into a snake-man, even if it had the support of a snake staff, the sheer number of people present would eventually wear it down. However, as a follower of Set, the King Cobra's counterattack before defeat was sure to be terrifying. The snake staff, now entangled by the King Cobra's tail, had already prepared a vicious spell, waiting for anyone to strike.

Now it's time for Yang Le to intervene, but he doesn't plan to intervene directly. It just so happens that he has a buddy whom he hasn't seen for a long time who is suitable to handle this matter, and the current enemy is also a professional match for him.

...

"boom!"

The stone man once again withstood the charge of the king cobra. He had to admit that this was the first time he had used his full strength since he turned into this monstrous appearance, but even so, the snake man still made him a little embarrassed.

"It's summer time, cold-blooded creature!"

Johnny, his whole body burning with flames, streaked through the night sky. Flame meteors gushed out from his hands and hit the body of the king cobra. Thanks to the opponent's huge size, Johnny could hit it without any pressure without aiming.

Not only Johnny, but Quentin, who was hiding behind a shelter made of damaged containers, was also firing cold shots one after another. This time, he used his mental power to form a sniper rifle instead of a double-barreled shotgun.

I don't know whether the appearance of a gun made of psychic power will affect its range.

These three people are the main force of the opponent's King Cobra, while Tandy and Tyrone are standing in the distance. They have spent a lot of energy when dealing with the rock python. Especially Tandy, her ability is more troublesome and has a limit on storage and release, and she can't withstand another battle.

The reason why she was asked to come was because Tandy also had the ability to heal. Although he could not use this ability for a long time and in large quantities, he could still heal the injuries of those injured in the battle.

So Reed naturally arranged the two of them as free men and medics. Tandy was responsible for treating the injured, while Tyrone was responsible for protecting Tandy's safety and waiting for opportunities to extract the enemy's energy.

At this time, Susan was fighting with the Black Mamba. The Black Mamba could release a kind of disturbing dark energy, and Susan could release stance and invisibility, so the two naturally faced off.

As for Reed, he had been hiding for a long time, waiting for the opportunity to strike, because his ability was only to stretch and contract his body freely, and he was only resistant to some blunt objects.

He cannot withstand attacks from King Cobra and Black Mamba, so naturally he cannot appear on the front battlefield, but he can still find opportunities to trip them up, like now.

Reed flattened his body and pressed it against the ground, hiding in everyone's blind spot. He chose the right moment and angle to reach out his hand behind the Black Mamba.
