I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod.

Seeing his attack miraculously neutralized, the snake was filled with horror:

"What's going on? How did I... end up back here?"

Snake-like creature stared at Lu Suo, noticing the unspeakable smile in his eyes, and immediately realized:

"Your technique involves reversing time?!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Suo clapped his hands with a smile:

"I didn't expect you to guess it so quickly. You truly are a great demon. Since you guessed it, I won't hide it from you anymore."

My spell, [Echoing Rewind], can rewind the enemy's timeline to three seconds prior. If you want to hit me, you must do so three seconds in advance.

Lu Suo spoke softly, as if he were facing a minor character who could be killed at any moment, rather than a serious enemy.

This tone enraged the snake, whose fury caused the lake water to churn and violently pound against the shore. It roared:

"A true strongman does not need to belittle the weak to highlight his own strength. Your bluffing must mean that this technique has some hidden flaws."

For example... there are limitations to the activation of spells; they cannot be used on multiple targets simultaneously, or there are intervals between spell activations.

Upon hearing this, Lu Suo was taken aback, clearly not expecting She Ni to be so intelligent. However, this shock did not last long; Lu Suo loved to play with information gaps.

Lu Suo smiled confidently and said:

"Show me what you've got."

She Ni snorted coldly, stirring the lake water with her body. As the mountain shook, a wave fifteen meters high surged up in the lake. This wave was controlled by She Ni and surged towards Lu Suo.

"Is this your solution?"

Lu Suo ignored it and activated the spell [Echoes Retracing], instantly restoring the surging waves to their frenzied state.

Lu Suo curled the corners of his mouth, but his smile quickly froze on his face.

As the waves receded, the serpentine creature hidden behind them revealed itself, its mouth agape as it charged forward.

Snake was gambling, betting that its guess was correct: regardless of whether Lu Suo's [Echoing Retracing] had a release interval or could not be cast on multiple targets at the same time, as long as it used the Great Wave to hide its form, it could launch a surprise attack when Lu Suo cast the spell on the Great Wave.

Clearly, Snake won the bet.

However, if Lu Suo only had the [Echoing Retracing] spell, perhaps the victory in this battle would have belonged to She Niu.

But She Bie could never have imagined that, in addition to the innate brain-transfer technique and the techniques that came with the body, Lu Suo's brain could also store the techniques that came with the previous body.

Faced with the unexpected attack from the snake, Lu Suo immediately activated his spell, and the next second...

boom!

A tremendous crash resounded, causing the entire mountain to tremble. Lake water poured down the mountainside, and a deep crater about forty meters in diameter was punched into the mountaintop.

Lu Suo was drenched in sweat as he clutched his left arm, which was gushing blood. It had been pulverized into a pile of minced meat by the snake's attack, and even his sleeve was stained red with blood.

He was panting heavily, his eyes filled with disbelief:

"I didn't expect you to be so much stronger than I thought, it's a real surprise..."

Upon hearing this, Snake Bite immediately responded:

"I'll return those words to you verbatim."

After fighting with Lu Suo, She Bie was also badly injured. Large pieces of scales on its side were broken, and there were even obvious dents. It is likely that several bones were broken.

However, this level of injury is nothing to the monster (cursed spirit). With the surge of cursed power, the injury is rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lu Suo also used a reversal spell to repair his damaged body. He ripped off the hunting robe that had been torn by the attack, revealing his iron-like muscles.

He stretched his limbs, his eyes fixed intently on the snake:

"Very good, you've successfully piqued my interest. Don't collapse before I'm done."

Upon hearing this, Snake was stunned for a moment. The reason was simple: these words were just too pretentious.

Even a powerful demon capable of shattering mountains and splitting the earth like Hebi has never acted so arrogantly. With Rōsō saying this beforehand, Hebi was naturally at a disadvantage in the battle.

[Damn it! I have to say that again sometime!]

Snake-like creature silently memorized these words, then turned its attention back to Lu Suo:

"Don't be so arrogant, I can play with you all day long!"

And so, the human and the monster began to fight. Their strengths were evenly matched, and after a battle, not only did they not gain the upper hand, but they became even more excited, fierce, and reckless, losing all sense of urgency.

The immense commotion of the battle brought the mountain to the brink of collapse, and the villages below lived in fear all night, attributing it to the "anger of the mountain god."

Even so, Lilith and Amelia remained fast asleep, as if the battle outside had nothing to do with them, until…

As dawn broke, Lu Suo remained engrossed in his battle with She Niu, a battle that sparked his desire to make She Niu his own.

Compared to other yokai, the Serpent's Bite may not be the strongest, but its battle intelligence is among the best of all yokai.

Lu Suo's guess:

[Perhaps the Serpent Demon, despite being a powerful mountain-shattering demon, was too lazy and had no interest in causing floods or mudslides. Over time, its calamity-causing attributes diminished, and the villagers at the foot of the mountain bestowed upon it divine attributes.]

Snake had the same thought about Lu Suo; it hadn't experienced such an exhilarating battle in a long time and had almost forgotten what battle felt like.

Its serpentine eyes were fixed on Lu Suo, and Lu Suo met its gaze. Their eyes grew increasingly frantic, and they were almost simultaneously contemplating the same thought:

[You're so captivating! I'm liking you more and more!]

However, just as the two sides were getting more and more into the fight, time quietly passed, and no one noticed that the hour hand on the retro-style solid wood grandfather clock in the villa was gradually pointing to "VII".

At seven o'clock in the morning, Amelia, who was sleeping peacefully in bed, opened her eyes on time.

Meanwhile, the villa trembled violently due to the battle between Snake Pull and Rope, and the crystal chandelier above crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces with a "crack".

The wardrobe was not spared either, crashing to the ground with a "thud," causing Amelia's eyes to twitch uncontrollably.

...The daily workload has increased again.

Amelia threw off the covers, put on her shoes under the pressure that felt like being in the epicenter of a magnitude 4 earthquake, and silently walked out of the room, trying to find the source of the tremor.

Upon arriving on the first floor, one is greeted by cracked walls, large pieces of peeling paint, and tableware and cups scattered all over the floor.

Seeing these blood pressure-raising scenes, Amelia took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then pushed open the door, following the source of the vibration.

Then, He saw Serpent and Luso locked in fierce combat.

The snake and the lasso were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle, but suddenly, the air seemed to freeze, and the air they inhaled felt like countless needles pricking their lungs.

[What happened?]

Snake and Lu Suo stopped what they were doing and searched for the source of this anomaly. Before long, they saw Amelia standing at the gate with a gloomy face.

Almost simultaneously, their eyes widened, and they realized something was wrong. Just as they were about to run away, the air froze them in place.

This was followed by Amelia's slightly angry voice:

"You two have gone too far..."
