It was at this moment that the true form of the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent was revealed to everyone.
Rather than calling it a snake, it was more accurate to say it was a dragon!
However, it didn't seem to have fully evolved into a dragon yet.
Even so, Jiang Xiaofeng's expression wasn't good.
The Ten-Headed Solar Serpent's voice sounded like a baby's cry.
On its head and back, there were nine protrusions. Each one resembled a bright red mushroom, and it even seemed as if blood was flowing inside.
The snake's belly was exceptionally large, bulging on the narrow bridge, and it was at least ten meters long.
The snake was not only terrifying at first glance, but also somewhat disgusting.
As the guardian of the second level, and the strongest guardian of the entire Hell Road, this Ten-Headed Solar Serpent didn't look easy to deal with. Moreover, Jiang Xiaofeng had seen through its essence.
It was actually a Golden Core realm soul beast. He hadn't expected other creatures from the cultivation world to come to the Douluo Continent.
He himself was indeed a cultivator at the Golden Core realm, but the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent in front of him was probably not bound by the rules here at all.
However, he was still bound by the rules of this place. Therefore, when facing this snake, Jiang Xiaofeng had to go all out.
Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng's serious expression, Tang San understood that the soul beast in front of them was probably not as simple as he had imagined.
He was somewhat relieved that he had made the right choice to team up with Jiang Xiaofeng.
Jiang Xiaofeng reminded him in a low voice, "Be careful, this soul beast is extraordinary. Don't be careless!"
Hu Liena, standing to the side, was somewhat surprised. This was the first time in a long while that Jiang Xiaofeng had shown such a serious expression. Clearly, the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent's abilities had forced Jiang Xiaofeng to take it seriously.
"Understood, Brother Feng, what should we do?"
"The Ten-Headed Solar Serpent's Inner Core is a good thing, so we must kill this Ten-Headed Solar Serpent!"
A Golden Core realm Ten-Headed Solar Serpent's Inner Core was indeed a valuable treasure. Not only could it enhance cultivation, but it could even heal injuries, provided it was compatible with its fire attribute.
Killing the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent in front of them wouldn't be easy; after all, this creature didn't look like it would go down without a fight.
"Tang San, don't act rashly. Watch and attack together. Find its weakness!"
Tang San nodded.
Although he knew the second stage was the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent, he didn't know where its weakness lay.
To kill it, they had to find its weakness, just like the Darkgold Three-Headed Bat King, which required destroying all three heads to pass the test.
However, in this second stage, they didn't need to kill the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent; they only needed to pass it.
Back then, Bibi Dong had barely escaped the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent, sprinting towards the finish line at an incredible speed. Otherwise, she wouldn't have obtained the Deathgod Domain.
That was also why Bibi Dong didn't want Jiang Xiaofeng to come to the City of Slaughter. She didn't know where the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent's weakness lay, and couldn't offer Jiang Xiaofeng any assistance.
Now, Jiang Xiaofeng had to find its weakness to kill it completely. Otherwise, he could only escape as quickly as Bibi Dong and the others had.
Of course, the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent wouldn't be foolish enough to let Jiang Xiaofeng and the others discover its weakness. After a moment of stalemate, the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent launched the first attack.
A puff of grey gas spewed from its mouth.
"Careful, Nana! It's poisonous!"
Poison gas could be deadly to ordinary Soul Masters, but for Jiang Xiaofeng, it was like air!
When his Undying Body reached the second major stage, he was already immune to all poisons.
So Jiang Xiaofeng didn't hesitate at all. After alerting Hu Liena, he charged forward.
Tang San also seemed to have his own method for dealing with the poison.
He popped a pill into his mouth and then, just like Jiang Xiaofeng, swung his Clear Sky Hammer and charged.
The Zhuxian Sword in Jiang Xiaofeng's hand and the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's clashed against the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent's body, producing a metallic clang.
Unlike the Darkgold Three-Headed Bat King, this thing's defenses were even stronger.
Even Jiang Xiaofeng's Zhuxian Sword couldn't break through its defenses.
"Tough scales! Tang San, use your Clear Sky Hammer to hold it down. I'll find a weak spot!"
"Alright, hurry up! I can't hold this thing off much longer!"
Hu Liena, having used her Demon Fox martial soul to shield herself from the poison, also charged forward.
"Brother Feng, I'll help you hold it down!"
"Yeah!"
Facing the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent, which was at the Golden Core realm, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't dare to be careless.
The three of them and the snake were locked in combat on the Hell Road. The ground shook, and the narrow bridge was constantly being destroyed.
Jiang Xiaofeng and the others had fewer and fewer places to stand, while the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent, because it wasn't afraid of magma at all, could move freely here.
"Heavenly Sea Technique, Third Form: Overturning Rivers and Seas!"
Jiang Xiaofeng wanted to send the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent flying with a single strike of his sword.
However, as a Golden Core realm beast, it wouldn't be so easily knocked away by Jiang Xiaofeng. Though its body was sent flying, it didn't soar as high as Jiang Xiaofeng had anticipated, preventing him from getting a good follow-up strike.
"Didn't they say this thing was a Ten-Headed Solar Serpent? Why can we only see one head?"
Jiang Xiaofeng's question made everyone else present equally puzzled.
"Could it be that if we chop off one head, it'll grow another, and we have to chop off nine in total?"
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head. That was highly unlikely.
If that were the case, their martial souls wouldn't be able to chop off nine heads, because the creature's scales were too tough.
Tang San said, "Jiang Xiaofeng, did you notice those nine fleshy balls on its body?"
Jiang Xiaofeng had noticed those things a long time ago, but because they were so disgusting, he hadn't thought about anything else.
But after Tang San said that, Jiang Xiaofeng seemed to remember something. Nine fleshy balls, plus his own head… wouldn't that be equivalent to ten?
Jiang Xiaofeng said, "Alright, I'll give it a try!"
"One Step to the Horizon!!!"
Jiang Xiaofeng appeared behind the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent. However, this guy's reaction speed was truly fast. The moment Jiang Xiaofeng appeared, its body did a 180-degree turn.
It didn't give Jiang Xiaofeng any chance to attack the fleshy balls on its back.
This made Jiang Xiaofeng laugh.
"I was still a little hesitant at first, but with you turning around like that, aren't you just giving yourself away?"
If he found its weakness, then it would be easy.
The Zhuxian Sword in his hand was replaced with Godslayer!
When Tang San saw the Godslayer in Jiang Xiaofeng's hand once again, his heart still trembled.
Compared to Jiang Xiaofeng's twin martial spirits, his own twin martial spirits were simply too trash.
His Clear Sky Hammer was known as the number one weapon in the world, but it was like a toy in front of Jiang Xiaofeng's second martial spirit.
And as soon as Jiang Xiaofeng's Godslayer appeared, the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent in front of them suddenly turned its target toward Jiang Xiaofeng.
It was obvious that it understood who its greatest threat was.
"Good heavens, your vigilance is really high. My Godslayer just came out, and you've already targeted me. It's a pity that I've already found your weakness, even if you are a Golden Core stage soul beast! Today, you will die!!!"
