"Ding!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out; Nan Hua's sword unsurprisingly failed to break through the defenses at that spot, but it wasn't entirely unfruitful. Cracks appeared on the scales, and the Cuihuan Snake King seemed to be in some pain. The serpent head that was originally charging at him paused, then with a hint of madness, lunged toward Nan Hua.
Nan Hua raised an eyebrow, standing steadily on the Cuihuan Snake King's body. Looking at the shattered scales beneath him, he pondered for a moment, then increased the output of Spiritual Power and stabbed at the same scales.
A blue light flashed, and those scales shattered directly, revealing tender flesh underneath. The Cuihuan Snake King's head was now only a meter away from Nan Hua. He looked up and, under the furious yet fearful gaze of the Cuihuan Snake King, plunged his sword into the spot.
