Taichu Yandao: Starting from the Villain

A tremendous vitality burst out from the ebony sword. Thin roots grew from the tip of the sword and grew wildly along the gaps between the snake scales.

The Earth Snake King was shaking his head desperately when he suddenly felt an itch on his head.

The numbness and itching did not last long, and then a piercing pain came.

The snake king's pupils constricted, and in desperation, he slammed headfirst into the wall of the martial arts arena.

There were continuous bang sounds, and the courtyard wall quickly shattered into pieces of stone, revealing the formation behind it.

Yang Yongqing was covered in dust and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, but after one or two breaths, his injuries were healed.

With a huge smile on his face, he shouted, "I'm a tree!"

"I am a tree!"

"I... am a tree!"

With the high-pitched sound, Yang Yongqing's skin began to turn into bark, and his hair grew wildly like roots.

The earth snake king twisted his body and rammed the formation desperately, and the echo of his skull could be heard with every impact.

"I... am... a tree!" Yang Yongqing let out his final roar, and his voice echoed throughout the village.

In the school, Cao Xiuxiu struggled to stand up. He recognized it was the teacher's voice, but he didn't understand what the teacher meant.

In the village, the organized men were searching for every small snake that had slipped in with kitchen knives and hoes. When they heard the shouting, they were also full of questions.

But soon, everyone knew the answer.

In the martial arts arena, a ginkgo tree was seen growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it had grown into lush branches and leaves.

The ginkgo tree grew until it covered half of the martial arts field, and then it stopped growing. On the thick trunk, a blurry human face appeared, revealing a faint smile.

Below the trunk, the roots were twisted and tangled, intertwined with the giant snake's body and deeply embedded in the ground.

When Cao Xiuxiu saw the towering tree, tears began to flow unconsciously, and she murmured, "I am a tree!"

In the small courtyard behind the ancestral hall, Yao Gu looked up and sighed, "It's a pity that such a talented person was born in this cage."

After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze towards the direction of Ten Thousand Snake Mountain and said, "Mother Snake, this time, I won again."

Now that the Earth Snake King was dead, the snakes outside the city wall immediately became chaotic, like headless flies, scattering in panic.

On the city wall, women covered in blood screamed loudly, venting their joy at having no chance of survival.

They took advantage of the victory and quickly killed the giant snake that had climbed onto the top of the city wall.

After a cup of tea time.

All the big snakes on the city wall were killed. The women cut off the snake heads or fangs and held them high above their heads, with smiles of victory on their faces.

The smile only lasted for a moment, and someone on the city wall burst into tears.

They ultimately won, but at a heavy price; at least half of the monks in the village were killed, and everyone had friends and relatives who were killed.

Yun Haiying was standing on the tower, just about to sit down, when he saw the flow of people in the village, his face immediately changed, and he shouted loudly:

"Everyone, those who can fight, follow me and clean up the poisonous snakes. If all the men die, we will be extinct."

On the city wall, everyone who could move immediately stood up and looked towards the village with concern - after finally defeating the giant snake, who would be willing to be a widow? Lacking the balance of Yang energy, they would be most likely to become exhausted.

The women's faces were filled with anger, and the closer they got to the center of the village, the more solemn their expressions became.

As they walked along, they had seen several men lying on the ground, all of whom had purple skin, obviously having died of poisoning.

When passing by a male corpse, a woman rushed out of the team and cried, "Dalang, why did you go first?"

Everyone in the team had a sad look on their faces and couldn't help but quicken their pace, fearing that if they were a step slower, they would be left alone.

Soon, the group arrived at the center of the village, but the scene they saw made them confused.

On the wide crossroad, in addition to the big pit where Yang Yongqing had buried his body, there were scattered all kinds of snake corpses, all chopped into many pieces.

The women were just wondering when they suddenly heard shouting and killing in the distance.

"Let's go over there and take a look." said Yun Haiying.

The group of female cultivators ran towards the sound without hesitation.

It was only about a hundred steps away. As soon as they turned around a courtyard wall, they saw dozens of men surrounding a huge snake as thick as a bowl.

They either took hoes or pitchforks, and moved forward and backward in a measured manner, and had already beaten the big snake all over its body.

When the women saw the big snake, their faces changed and they rushed out.

Some who saw their husbands immediately protected them behind them.

It’s strange to say, the men were all strong and fierce, but once they hid behind a woman, they immediately changed their appearance.

"My dear wife, you are finally here. I...I almost couldn't see you."

The group of women didn't say a word and threw the talismans at the big snake in the middle as if they were free.

In an instant, the big snake was engulfed in the explosion, and when the smoke cleared, not even a trace of it was left.

The snake was killed, and everyone's faces were relieved, except for Lady Yan who said, "Everyone, we need to check again, and we can't let any fish slip through the net."

"That makes sense. Don't let your guard down. Every household must be checked." Seeing her husband's heroic appearance, Yun Haiying immediately expressed her support.

Lady Yan turned her head suddenly, tears flashing in her eyes, and said, "Sister Ying..."

He dropped the hoe in his hand and ran straight towards Yun Haiying.

However, when he had just run halfway, he suddenly felt dizzy and the image of Yun Haiying became increasingly blurry, as if she was far away on the horizon.

"Wife..." Lady Yan's body softened and she fell to the ground.

Yun Haiying had opened his arms and was about to hug the beautiful Yan, but suddenly he saw her face turn pale and fall to the ground.

Her face turned pale and she rushed forward as fast as she could, barely holding the other person up.

She grabbed Lady Yan's wrist and exerted a little magic power. Her chest felt as if it was hit by a sledgehammer, and the pain was excruciating.

According to legend, there is no antidote for the venom of the hundred-step snake.
