Brushing past the two beasts entangled in battle, Lu Ye had not yet steadied himself when a reddish snake tail whipped towards him like a lash, the force of the wind bearing down on his face.
Unable to turn around in time, Lu Ye could only hurriedly muster his spirit force to protect his body.
With a loud smack, he was flung away, a sour ache in his shoulder as he rolled several times on the scorching ground.
Getting to his feet, he looked up, somewhat surprised.
The sharp blow he had fortified failed to sever the snake in one strike, merely slicing halfway through its body, blood pouring out as the snake demon writhed in pain on the ground.
Big tiger took the opportunity to break free from its hold, courageously and recklessly lunging at the wound and sinking its teeth in.
Violently, it tore off a large chunk of flesh.
