CHAPTER 428: CHAPTER 281: HEARD IT’S SECOND BROTHER?

Seeing the situation, the two men thrust their fists forward fiercely. The fiery aura contained a massive destructive power, aimed directly at the giant serpent. With a loud bang, the fists landed heavily on the serpent’s body. The serpent was struck by the immense force, lifted off the ground, and viciously plunged into the earth in a fierce tiger descending posture!

A burst of blood sprayed out, and the tall man was bitten in half by the serpent, covered in blood and flesh. Meanwhile, the serpent, under the heavy blows of the two men, flew back several meters and fell heavily to the ground. Yet, it did not relent. Leaping agilely like a twisted rope, it bared its sharp venomous fangs, aggressively staring at the two pale-faced men.

The two men felt fear at this moment but knew they could not retreat. Clenching their teeth, they swung their fists again, charging at the serpent. Likewise, the serpent was unwilling to admit defeat and confronted them in fierce combat. The scene became chaotic once more, dust flying and flames blazing, each collision resounding with deafening noise.

Seeing the situation, Jinzai and Ston joined the battle without hesitation, unleashing their skills and fighting alongside the serpent. For a moment, shadows flickered across the clearing, flames soaring to the sky, and the battle reached a fever pitch. Everyone exerted maximum effort to defeat their opponents, as the air was filled with the thick scent of blood and tension. This battle was destined to end with one side falling.

After a fierce battle, the serpent and the two men were exhausted, covered with scars, yet neither side showed any signs of giving up, continuing to fight. Eventually, under joint attacks from the two men and Jinzai and Ston, the serpent finally fell to the ground, never to rise again.

The two men were also exhausted, sitting paralyzed on the ground, gasping heavily, smiles of victory appearing on their faces.

"Big brother..." The tall, thin man’s eyes reddened, his voice choked, and two rows of hot tears burst forth uncontrollably. The anger and grief burning in his heart were like roaring flames, unable to be suppressed, "I’ll fight to the death with you!" He roared, charging forward first, completely disregarding his own life and death.

His fists clenched, as if all his power was concentrated in them alone, and two dazzling flashes of fire, half a meter in diameter, leaped in his hands, like two small suns, illuminating the dim surroundings.

"Second brother, are you crazy? Don’t do it!" The handsome man behind him screamed desperately, his voice filled with urgency and helplessness, as if trying to prevent the tragedy but was ultimately powerless.

During the wild run, the tall, thin man’s long hair flew with the wind, his imposing presence overwhelming, like an awakening wild beast forcing others to avert their gaze. The surrounding air seemed ignited by his aura, quickly forming unbearable hot red whirlwinds. His steps were heavy and resolved, each one seemingly treading on the hearts of everyone, emitting a tragic and muffled echo.

The serpent’s pupils contracted instantly, evidently sensing an unprecedented threat from this small human being. The relentless determination and overwhelming killing intent compelled it to take this opponent seriously.

The serpent looked to the sky and let out a thunderous hiss, as if venting its anger and unease. Its heavy tail swung furiously, and its entire body floated up loudly, akin to a giant sail navigating against the wind, moving head-on toward the tall, thin man. In this moment, it ceased to be a cold-blooded observer, becoming a true warrior, ready to embrace this battle of life and death.

The fire light on the fists grew more intense, seemingly ready to devour the entire world. The despair on the tall, thin man’s face deepened, understanding that after unleashing this strike, he probably would never see tomorrow’s sun. However, he had no regrets or complaints, only for the belief and dignity held in his heart.

"Big brother, I’m coming to accompany you!" He murmured, as if confiding his determination and courage to the brother far away in heaven.

With a deafening bang! The fire of his fists finally collided with the serpent’s jaw. The sky was brightly aflame, as if igniting the whole world. The flames spread rapidly, trapping everyone within them. In this moment, time seemed to freeze, with only the flames madly burning and dancing.

The power erupting from the fists was incredibly astonishing, managing to create a deep reddish half-meter pit on the serpent’s iron-hard jaw! In the pit, the brilliant fire swiftly scorched and melted the muscle tissues inside the serpent. Yet, the serpent was no ordinary foe; despite the pain, its fangs fiercely bit down into the tall, thin man’s back, penetrating through his front chest!

A brilliant splash of blood coughed out from the man’s mouth, even more vibrant and glaring than the flames. His eyes gradually lost focus, but his expression remained filled with determination and satisfaction, as if he had completed a great mission.

He moved his lips, seemingly wanting to shout, yet was unable to produce any sound for a long time. That rigid stance, as if frozen in time, revealed deep fear and helplessness. The firelight illuminated his face, flickering, making his face appear pale as paper.

Ka-cha!

In its agony, the serpent bit down again. Its sharp teeth penetrated the skin, crushing the bones in the man’s waist to pieces. Accompanied by the firelight, the man let out one last scream that echoed through the night sky. That sound was piercing and despairing, shattering hearts and courage of everyone who heard it.
