"Huh."
Looking at the Yinwater Coldsnap Serpent's body slowly sinking, Chu Fengmian's tightly strung nerves also relaxed.
A feeling of exhaustion flooded Chu Fengmian's mind.
His body was still too fragile; merely unleashing the Sword Qi Transformation drained it considerably.
He could maintain it for at most a minute before reaching its limit.
He sat down cross-legged on the ground, took out several Qi Gathering Pills, and swallowed them all at once.
Feeling a surge of pure Spiritual Power melting within his body, Chu Fengmian's expression gradually eased.
Dealing with the Yinwater Coldsnap Serpent had truly pushed Chu Fengmian to his limits. If it hadn't been for the serpent's overconfidence, venturing onto land to pursue Chu Fengmian, he might have truly had no way to defeat it.
After all, if the Yinwater Coldsnap Serpent had stayed in the pool, Chu Fengmian wouldn't be foolish enough to fight it in the water—that would have been a real death wish.
