167: Two snake women
The Red Scale Snake Matriarch's plot for Tianshi City indeed involved bringing all the young from her entire snake nest.
As a Dao Realm Demon King, the Red Scale Snake Matriarch had been entrenched in Yunzhou for over a thousand years, and during this time, the snake demons she cultivated had not decreased, even after several encirclements and suppressions by the Demon Suppression Division.
The two black and white pythons crawled down the pavilion to the ground, and during this process, their snake bodies gradually transformed.
In just a few breaths, their massive demonic bodies gradually shrank, their snake scales disappeared, and they transformed into human-like snake women with smooth, delicate skin.
As the Demonic Qi spread around them gradually dissipated, two alluring women, dressed in black and white gauze skirts, emerged.
The two women naturally noticed Lu Ming, who was also a Limit Realm expert, and upon sensing Lu Ming's powerful Blood Qi, their beautiful faces couldn't help but show surprise.
"It seems our luck is good, sisters, to encounter such a young human Martial Artist," the Black Snake Woman said with a smile, her demeanor full of charm; an ordinary person would likely have been stunned by her.
The White Snake Woman's eyes also revealed a hint of excitement, and a greedy emotional fluctuation emerged from the depths of her pupils.
"Little one, how about you give yourself to us sisters? Before you die, you can still enjoy some worldly pleasures; that's better than resisting and being killed," the White Snake Woman enticed.
Lu Ming watched silently, unmoved by the words of the two snake women.
Lu Ming could feel an extremely dense Demonic Qi from the two snake women, similar to the aura of the Golden Lotus Sect Saintess he had killed, suggesting a common origin.
"You two seem very confident. Who gave you that confidence, that Red Scale Snake Matriarch?" Lu Ming said coldly.
He walked step by step towards the two snake women, the long saber in his hand glinting coldly under the moonlight.
Hearing Lu Ming's cold tone, the smiles on the two snake women's faces froze, and anger appeared in their eyes.
"How dare you slander Mother! Seeing your abundant Blood Qi, we sisters wanted to give you an easy death, but you chose to give it up yourself," the Black Snake Woman said, her eyes flashing with ferocity, completely devoid of her previous seductive demeanor.
The White Snake Woman also wanted to say something, but she seemed to catch a scent from Lu Ming's body, and her expression suddenly changed.
"He has Qing-mei's scent on him! This guy killed Qing-mei!" the White Snake Woman shrieked.
"Are you talking about this guy?" Lu Ming took out a cyan demonic core from his 懷, he said faintly.
That was the demonic core obtained when he killed the Golden Lotus Sect Saintess. Lu Ming hadn't used it for his previous martial arts deduction and had kept it until now.
The moment Lu Ming took out the demonic core, sensing the familiar aura within it, the pupils of both snake women constricted, and their demonic ferocity was fully revealed.
"Kill him!" the Black Snake Woman shrieked.
The moment that sound resounded, Lu Ming moved.
With the Lingyun Eight Extremes Step, Lu Ming transformed into an afterimage, charging forward.
Facing these two Limit Realm Demons, Lu Ming had no intention of holding back. Although he far surpassed others of his rank due to several Cultivation Techniques cultivated to their Peak, as the saying goes, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone when these two snake women were not weak in strength.
The long saber in his hand was covered in blazing Blood Fire, and the wild power surged on the blade, dispelling all the surrounding darkness.
In a flash, Lu Ming charged in front of the Black Snake Woman.
The long saber, surging with flames, emitted a scorching heat, and as it swung, layers of air waves were stirred up in the surrounding air.
Lu Ming's speed was clearly somewhat beyond the Black Snake Woman's expectation. Looking at the descending flaming long saber, in her surprise, she raised her hand to block.
Eerie black Qi enveloped her arms, and hard black snake scales were faintly visible between her arms.
Pfft!
The black snake scales, whose hardness was comparable to steel refined a thousand times, were cut open like tofu under the blade. Along with sparks flying, the black snake scales were shattered, and a long bloodstain was torn open. Accompanied by surging Blood Fire erupting with this strike, flames enveloped the surroundings.
A shrill scream sounded, and blood splattered. That single strike had actually torn open a hideous bloody wound.
Lu Ming's movements did not stop; the long saber in his hand struck again, aiming directly at the Black Snake Woman's fair neck.
Her snake scales, refined over eight hundred years, were actually unable to withstand a human's blade. Feeling the dense aura of death approaching, the Black Snake Woman dared not hesitate; her hand, transformed into a sharp claw, thrust towards Lu Ming's heart.
Bang!
A dull thud sounded. Lu Ming quickly changed his offensive, sending a flying kick that directly sent her flying.
"Sister!" the White Snake Woman shrieked, looking at Lu Ming with an incredibly ferocious gaze, spitting out corrosive poisonous mist from her mouth.
Watching the all-consuming poisonous mist spread, Lu Ming's expression was calm. He leaned slightly forward, shooting out like an arrow from a bowstring, directly charging into the poisonous mist.
Seeing that Lu Ming actually charged through the poisonous mist, a playful look appeared on the White Snake Woman's hideous face.
One must know that her poisonous mist had an extremely strong corrosive effect on flesh and blood; even a tiger would be corroded into festering flesh and feel unbearable pain in just two or three breaths.
However, the White Snake Woman's smugness did not last long. The moment Lu Ming's skin touched the poisonous mist, a white light enveloped his entire body, blocking the poisonous mist.
"What!" the White Snake Woman exclaimed in shock, and in her panic, she wanted to retreat backward.
Rumble!
Deafening thunder resounded, and a low Dragon roar could faintly be heard spreading.
Lu Ming gave the opponent no chance to dodge. The annihilating dark blue lightning broke through the poisonous mist, and flashing arcs of lightning quickly spread, the lightning gleaming with vast power.
The long saber in his hand swung accordingly, and Lu Ming's eyes flashed with a cold glint.
The moment the sound of thunder resounded in her ears, the trembling from her Bloodline exploded in the White Snake Woman's heart. Her eyes widened, filled with terror.
She never expected that a human Martial Artist could reach such a level. His aura was similar to theirs, merely at the Peak of the Limit Realm, but how could the actual combat power be so vastly different?
The opponent looked no older than thirty, so how could he have had so much time to Cultivate multiple Cultivation Techniques to such an extent?
Such terrifying Comprehension Ability overshadowed their several centuries of Cultivation. Looking at the lightning flashing like a raging tide, a hint of despair actually arose in her heart.
Before the White Snake Woman could react, the long saber struck down, a cold light flashing. Faintly, it was as if a Thunder Dragon galloped out, and the Blade Aura, surging like a flood, descended like the Milky Way, striking down with a roar.
