Each of the three snakes were focusing their full attention on Xu Linyun; they didn’t have time to spare for the likes of a small fry like Fang Xing, who seemed to have only a small amount of Qi. Furthermore, there was not much time between when Fang Xing arrived and when he swung downwards, so the snake was left without the opportunity to react. When the snake saw that it was unable to avoid the strike, it decided it wouldn’t attempt to dodge and instead tightly clenched its fiery scales to turn them into a hard armor of poisonous flames. The snake believed with its simplistic mind that doing so would be more than enough to take Fang Xing’s strike.
Even the nearby Xu Linyun was left speechless by Fang Xing’s action. "How would you kill this snake? You might be able to injure it with an attack, but it will only come chasing after you with even more powerful strikes afterwards. How are you going to handle it then?" At that moment, she was ready to save Fang Xing at any time.
