Skyler and Weston exchanged glances with each other at the sight of Wilbur's relentless assault on the flame serpent.
It was far too brutal.
The flame serpent let out a cry of rage under Wilbur's attacks, turning its head and spitting out a powerful gush of flames that swallowed Wilbur's figure.
Skyler and Weston felt their hearts drop into a pit. It was clear that the flame serpent's powers were all fire-based, and none of them would be able to survive an attack of the flames from its mouth.
However, after the flames cleared, Wilbur was still standing there as good as new. There was a layer of armor forged with spiritual energy around him, completely protecting him from harm.
Skyler and Weston could hardly contain their shock. Condensing armor would not only take a large amount of spiritual energy, but it would also require a deep and precise knowledge of one's spiritual energy. Even many Sanctuary level cultivators could not achieve this.
Just then, Wilbur let out a chuckle as he pounced on the flame serpent once again, fists at the ready.
The flame serpent refused to let up either, howling as it wriggled its body and casting blow after blow with its tail. Flames shot out of its mouth from time to time, in a relentless attack toward Wilbur.
The battle between man and serpent kicked up a cloud of sand and smoke in the valley, filling it with loud rumbles.
The flame serpent had Sanctuary level powers and spiritual energy, but it had only recently developed a conscience. It did not even have its own spirit territory yet and thus was not too much of a threat.
Wilbur continued to advance as the battle continued. It was as if he had an unlimited supply of spiritual energy. The energy in his body was so strong that it was terrifying. Despite the flame serpent's powerful defenses, it still fell victim to Wilbur's attacks and cried out in pain.
Within just a few minutes, the flame serpent seemed to realize that it was fighting a losing battle. It stumbled over ten meters backward, retching and hissing. Its body was covered in injuries, and it seemed to be exhausted too.
Weston and Skyler could hardly contain their awe and respect toward Wilbur.
He had been able to defeat such a terrifying beast with nothing but his bare hands. That was something Weston could never do, let alone Skyler.
