Stone Fairy!

Daozhen stood still, staring into those blood-red vertical pupils.

The green snake slowly emerged from the temple, coiling itself upwards along the temple walls, its scales gleaming with an eerie light.

Its enormous body coiled around the temple, conservatively estimated to be at least twenty zhang long.

This is a truly enormous snake.

Dao Zhen could sense that the enormous body opposite him contained terrifying power, like a huge furnace, with blazing blood and demonic energy surging and churning within, radiating a scorching heat and a heart-palpitating sense of oppression.

Sure enough, this green snake had been cultivating for quite some time.

Daozhen's gaze shifted slightly.

The demonic power within this green snake was profound and enduring, with an astonishingly solid foundation, possessing at least five hundred years of cultivation. However, it seemed to be intentionally suppressing its cultivation, delaying the step of transforming into a dragon.

The truth is about to be revealed—

The green snake moved without any warning or indication.

The millstone-sized snake head suddenly retracted, then shot out like an arrow, opening its blood-red maw to reveal two rows of gleaming venomous fangs, and bit down fiercely at Daozhen.

The speed is astonishing.

The force churned the riverbed, creating turbulent undercurrents. The luminous stones were tossed about, and the water plants were uprooted and danced wildly in the water.

Daozhen did not retreat. He brought his right index and middle fingers together and made a vague stroke in the air.

A golden sword aura burst forth from between his fingers, slicing through the water and striking the green snake's jaw with pinpoint accuracy.

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing echoed in the water, making the surrounding aquatic plants tremble.

The green snake's head was slightly tilted by the blow, and its bite direction deviated from Daozhen's position. The huge snake head grazed past his side, and the shockwave from the water it generated made Daozhen's robes flutter wildly.

The green snake quickly regained its footing. Its gaping maw spun in the air, and its body lashed out violently. Its thick, millstone-like tail, like a giant iron whip, swept towards Daozhen with terrifying force.

If this blow lands, it will even leave a hole in the city wall.

Daozhen's figure flashed in the water, like a fallen leaf carried by the current, lightly avoiding the sweeping of the snake's tail.

The snake's tail swept past him and struck a stone pillar at the edge of the square.

"boom!"

A tremendous crash reverberated in the water, and the stone pillar shook violently, but the pillar itself remained motionless; only the chains emitted a dull hum.

The instant Daozhen dodged the snake's tail, his right hand changed its sword gesture, his five fingers spread out, and he pressed lightly towards the direction of the green snake.

An invisible force surged from his palm, like a giant hand pressing down on the green snake's vital spot.

The green snake's body suddenly stiffened.

That force was as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on it so much that it could barely breathe.

The green snake twisted its body desperately, trying to break free from the restraints, but the force was like a shadow, and no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't shake it off.

"roar!"

The green snake let out a low hiss, its body suddenly contracted, and then it sprang back.

A surge of powerful azure demonic energy erupted from its body, momentarily shattering Dao Zhen's invisible power.

In that split second, the green snake suddenly spun around in the water, its head snapping at Daozhen from another direction.

At the same time, its snake tail silently emerged from below, blocking Daozhen's retreat.

They attacked from both above and below, from both sides.

Daozhen raised an eyebrow slightly.

This green snake not only possesses profound cultivation but also has extremely rich combat experience.

That attack just now seemed brutal, but it was actually a test of his movement and reaction. Now that they had figured out his strength, they were going to use their real skills.

Daozhen drew a circle in front of him with his hands, palms facing each other, and slowly pulled them apart.

A golden light curtain unfolded before him, like an invisible wall, blocking the path between the green snake and him.

The green snake crashed into the light barrier.

With a loud bang, the enormous impact shook the surrounding water, causing it to surge outwards, but the light screen remained completely still.

The green snake rebounded with its own force, its thick body churning the surrounding water violently.

Daozhen took a step forward, his figure passing through the light barrier and arriving above the head of the green snake.

Dao Zhen then drew a sword gesture with his right hand, and a golden chain flew out from his fingertip, wrapping around the neck of the green snake.

The green snake sensed danger and struggled with all its might.

Its serpentine body writhed wildly, its tail lashing through the air, smashing against several stone pillars in the square, making them vibrate. The ancient chains groaned and creaked as they swayed.

Furthermore, streaks of azure light appeared on its body, attempting to block the golden chains.

Upon seeing this, Dao Zhen's body emitted a faint golden light, and then the golden chains suddenly grew thicker, becoming as solid as real objects, suppressing the blue light.

The golden chains tightened more and more.

Golden light flowed across the green snake's scales, each coil adding to its restraint.

The green snake's struggles grew weaker and weaker, its roars grew softer and softer, and finally turned into muffled panting.

Daozhen stood above the green snake's head, his hands forming a hand seal, and he silently chanted.

"A net of heaven and earth, binding and confining the universe."

The words fell.

Countless golden rays burst forth from the golden chains, weaving into a massive net that enveloped the entire body of the green snake.

The net tightened further and further, eventually trapping the green snake firmly in place.

The green snake's head was fixed three feet above the ground, and its body was tightly bound by golden light, making it impossible for it to even twist.

A flicker of horror and resentment flashed in its blood-red vertical pupils, but more than that, there was a palpable panic.

Daozhen slowly descended from the sky, his feet landing on the stone slabs of the square, standing in front of the green snake's head.

Daozhen looked calmly at those blood-red vertical pupils.

The green snake twisted its body desperately, trying to break free from its restraints.

The golden rays shone faintly as it struggled, tightening and constricting deeper and deeper, some even embedding themselves into the gaps in its scales, causing its body excruciating pain.

It finally dared not move again.

"You...you let me go!"

A clear, crisp female voice suddenly rang out.

The voice was urgent and annoyed, carrying a hint of grievance, a touch of irritation, and an indescribable childishness.

It doesn't match its massive size and fierce appearance at all.

Daozhen was slightly taken aback, looking at the green snake's blood-red vertical pupils.

"You can clearly speak,"

Why did you attack me directly?

A hint of annoyance flashed in the green snake's blood-red vertical pupils, and its forked tongue darted out from between its teeth, hissing a few times.

I noticed you were watching without saying anything.

Although the green snake's voice was clear and crisp, its tone carried a fierce edge.

"I thought you were here to take over my territory too."
