The empress saw Han Sen stop with the intent to grab the spear that she held . She spun it in a bid to strike him . But as the spear spun, it disappeared from her hands . Where it went, Han Sen could not keep track of .
He didn't much care for this, though . All Han Sen wanted to do was focus on channeling energy and power into his greatsword for an attack of his own .
The angelic sword drifted in and out of reality, hovering amidst shards of distorted dimensions . It was like the image of some magical blade, taken from an ancient tale .
Han Sen held it, now ready to slash the empress .
"Die!" the empress yelled, as a creepy and excited look flashed across her face . The spear had appeared in front of Han Sen .
The empress thought she could plunge the spear through Han Sen's head before his sword landed a strike .
Slash!
The empress' eyes opened wide in utter shock .
Her body had been cut in half from a downward swing, and the face that dribbled blood across its center wore a look of fright . The serpent that had accompanied the empress now looked terrified, and it swiftly tried to flee the scene .
Han Sen wasn't going to allow that, however . He gathered up another surge of power to unleash at it to prevent its departure .
Due to the empress having been killed, the giant snake was attempting to scramble and slither its way up over the rocks in a bid to escape the human . But it could not lose Han Sen, and he was quick to remain at its tail .
Qin Xuan and Bao'er had felt an earthquake just a moment ago, so they had exited the mouth of the cave to come take a look .
When they came out, they saw a hazy mixture of gold and copper lights . The scenery all around was destroyed like a post-apocalyptic wasteland .
The lights were coming towards them, with a trail of destruction being left in its wake .
Qin Xuan grabbed Bao'er and took off running .
Qin Xuan had only just arrived in the Third God's Sanctuary, so her effort was in vain . She was too weak to run from the lights .
Not long after her attempt of flight, she heard something most monstrous come from someplace behind her .
The copper light was on her heels, coming at a most fearsome speed . It was so close, and now Qin Xuan was able to see what that copper light was . It was a giant copper snake, similar to the ones people used to worship long ago . Its lifeforce was frighteningly strong .
Qin Xuan thought this had to be it, and that she was done for . She didn't think there'd be an escape from this predicament . She held Bao'er as if she were a real baby . She thought it was most likely a pointless thing, but she did so anyway, as if to protect it .
The snake wanted to dive down and head underground, and it was a simple misfortune for Bao'er and Qin Xuan to be in its way .
Qin Xuan shielded Bao'er from the sight of the beast and watched it come down .
She was a soldier, and she made sure to watch . She knew closing her eyes would not make a difference, and it would not reduce the danger that had befallen her . So she kept them open and stood strong . She did not let fear take hold, and she did not let the hope of a possible survival escape her .
The mouth of the snake had come down from above, tenting their position, and in that moment, Qin Xuan threw Bao'er away .
Qin Xuan did not even know Bao'er was a beast soul, she just thought by throwing her away, she might survive .
After throwing her away, she faced her imminent death alone .
Katcha!
The serpent was about to close its teeth on her lonely body, but suddenly, another light flashed across her vision . Qin Xuan suddenly saw the snake reel back as its head was hewn from its coiling body .
After that, its body began to flail backwards as the light ran through it from top-to-tail . Vertically, down the center, the body was cut into two perfectly symmetrical halves .
The snake had built up momentum though, and it leaned forward even in death .
Qin Xuan was still stood where she had been, as the rocky landscape around her began to crumble . She stumbled and grabbed a hefty stone to keep her balance .
When the snake's flailing came to a stop, and the dust that had kicked up was all that could be seen, Qin Xuan saw a gold light pierce the haze .
There was a most beautiful goldfish coming towards her through the murk . She stumbled backwards . Even though it was a beautiful beast, she knew it was a creature .
If the snake had been killed by the goldfish, then the goldfish had to be even more powerful than it .
She wished to run, but Qin Xuan was afraid that if she did start to flee, the fish would attack her .
Bao'er was waddling her way over to the goldfish as Qin Xuan mulled her courses of action .
"Bao'er, be careful!" Qin Xuan pleaded, but it didn't stop her .
Bao'er jumped atop the goldfish's head, and then Qin Xuan watched her jump into the arms of someone .
"Han Sen!" Qin Xuan looked at the figure and the fish in awe, and when the dust had cleared just enough, she saw Han Sen standing atop the creature .
Han Sen was delighted as this occurred, because he was in the midst of hearing the announcement play .
"Berserk Super Creature Serpent Throne killed . Beast soul gained . The flesh of this creature is inedible, but you may harvest its Life Geno Essence . Consume its Life Geno Essence to gain zero to ten super geno points randomly . "
