131: Chapter 131 Green Snake vs. Nascent Soul Clone

Two teenage versions of Elder Li floated up.

Saber Qi and Sword Qi continuously surged from both of them.

The two teenage versions of Elder Li rushed toward each other and embraced tightly.

Saber Qi and Sword Qi merged, enveloping the two.

As the sword light receded, only a single figure stepped out.

She had shed her youthful innocence and looked exactly like Elder Li, holding a sword in her left hand and a saber in her right.

twin blades.

Elder Li's natal spirit artifact.

It was a Spiritual Artifact that Daya had personally refined for Elder Li back when she was still in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The twin blades shared the same Origin, requiring extremely high Artifact Refining attainment and Materials.

“Do not take a single step closer to my Revered Master!”

The twin blades stood alone in the Void Realm, blocking Profound Heart and the other two.

“A mere object! How dare you!”

“Watch me destroy this piece of junk!”

Profound Heart's face turned red with anger as he, Mysterious Method, and Mysterious Spirit attacked together, their strikes falling like raindrops.

Meanwhile, Elder Li quickly activated her Dharma Image to descend upon the well's entrance.

As the owner of the twin swords, she naturally knew they wouldn't last long.

After all, the twin swords were merely a Spiritual Artifact, and the Body Integration method of the twins consumed the Spiritual Artifact's Origin excessively.

“Rise!”

The four arms of the Dharma Image gripped the chains and exerted force together.

“Creeeak! Creeeak!”

The chains binding the deity transformation imprint made a tooth-gritting sound as they were slowly pulled away from it.

“Damn it, that bastard Li Xiaomo! Just how much did Senior Sister teach her!”

“Finish this quickly; we can't afford to delay any longer!”

The beautiful woman Mysterious Spirit's voice turned sharp, and her attacks became more fierce.

Strike after strike hit the twin blades, causing injuries even on its indestructible Spiritual Artifact body.

The twin blades gripped her dual blades tightly, as saber light and sword shadows burst from her body to protect her vital points.

“Heaven Shaking Seal!”

Profound Heart pressed his palms together and performed the same Move once again.

A square Seal smashed toward the twin blades.

It was difficult for the square Seal to hit the agile twin blades, but Profound Heart aimed at an extremely tricky spot.

If the twin blades retreated, the Seal would smash into Elder Li's true body, who was focused on undoing the Seal.

“Do not take a single step closer to my Revered Master!”

The twin blades crossed her arms, holding both saber and sword before her to meet the Heaven Shaking Seal.

Sword Qi and Saber Qi gushed out, transforming into two massive roaming Dragons to meet the Heaven Shaking Seal.

But in the blink of an eye, they were obliterated by the Heaven Shaking Seal, which, with slightly diminished power, smashed directly into the twin blades.

The twin blades were slammed into the ground, creating a deep pit; her weapons shattered, her arms were covered in cracks, and golden liquid continuously seeped out.

“Do not approach...”

“Die!”

Mysterious Method formed a hand Seal, and thousands of gray sword shadows merged into one massive gray sword that hacked down fiercely at the twin blades.

The twin blades looked at Li Xiaomo and saw the pity in her eyes.

“Twin, wait...”

Twin simply retracted her gaze.

Golden light shone from her body as cracks spread from her chest across her entire form.

“Do not take a single step closer to my Revered Master!”

“Get back! This creature is going to Self-Destruct!”

Mysterious Method spat out a mouthful of essence blood and formed a hand Seal, accelerating the gray sword's light as if trying to shatter the twin blades before the Self-Destruct.

Otherwise, with this sword's Dao Cultivation, the consequences of a Self-Destruct within the Xuanji Sect would be extremely severe.

Giant sword.

Dharma Image.

Blade shadows.

Saber light.

“Rumble!”

A roar exploded, the sound waves shaking the heavens, the earth trembling, and dust rising everywhere.

Dharmic power dispersed the dust, and the spiritual light gradually subsided.

A dark bronze zen staff, a set of golden kasaya, and a bald monk.

“amitabha.”

“This poor monk is a bit late, but arriving early is not as good as arriving at the right time.”

“What do you benefactors think?”

The monk performed a Buddhist salute with one hand and held his zen staff horizontally before him with the other, blocking that heaven-shaking sword light.

Buddhist light transformed into a halo floating behind the monk.

The cracks all over the twin blades closed up under the soothing Buddhist light, and her aura calmed down.

“Who goes there!?”

Profound Heart hadn't expected Li Xiaomo to call for reinforcements.

“This poor monk is from the Kingdom of Tianzhu, Bodhi Temple, dharma name Silent Severity.”

Profound Heart felt like his teeth were about to shatter from clenching them.

“Whatever price Li Xiaomo gave you, my Xuanji Sect will give you double.”

“amitabha, the Buddhist Dao this poor monk cultivates emphasizes karmic fate above all.”

“Benefactor Li sowed a cause with this poor monk in her early years, and I am here now to return the effect.”

Silent Severity pressed his palms together and performed a standard Buddhist salute.

“If I must say, it was on a snowy day over a hundred—no, two hundred years ago.”

“This poor monk woke up early as usual and had the temple's vegetarian meal.”

“The meal that day was very hard, as were the steamed buns. Regarding the food at Bodhi Temple, this poor monk can only say that those who know, know.”

“After eating, I went to water the bodhi tree I planted.”

“Oh, speaking of the bodhi tree, I gave it a nice name.”

“It's called A-Pu.”

“As for why it's called A-Pu, that was another snowy day over a hundred—no, two hundred years ago.”

“This poor monk, as usual...”

“You monk, are you trying to stall for time? Die!!”

Profound Heart snapped out of it; he didn't know what Spell the monk had cast on him, but he had actually listened to that nonsense for so long.

“My Buddha is merciful! Great Compassion Palm!”

Profound Heart's Buddhist light shone as he held a string of prayer beads in one hand and struck out with the other.

A massive golden palm print condensed and smashed toward Profound Heart.

Meanwhile, the twin swords stood up again, re-condensing her saber and sword, and joined the fray.

“My Revered Master just sent a divine sense transmission, asking me to relay a message.”

“'Revered Master, we haven't met in a long time, and you've become quite talkative. You were more likable back when you were practicing the Zen of Silence.'”

“Haha, Benefactor Li is indeed a wonderful person.”

...

On Xu Qing's side.

He continued flying toward the west.

With immortals fighting over there, staying would just be seeking death and would also distract his dear granddaughter.

He flew further and further away, but the sense of danger never disappeared.

“Swish!”

A streak of light stabbed toward Xu Qing's back.

Xu Qing didn't have time to react, but the Xiliang Sword hidden by his side revealed itself and flicked the streak of light away.

The light also revealed its form; it was actually a flying needle.

“Who's there!?”

Xu Qing turned around, Xiliang Sword in hand, and shouted coldly.

“Hehe, my dear disciple, don't you recognize me?”

The Void Realm distorted, and a figure appeared.

It was none other than that beautiful woman, Elder Mysterious Spirit!

Xu Qing was nearly scared to death. Was she trying to scare Snake Snake's gallbladder out of him just to eat it!

Mysterious Spirit was currently dealing with Elder Li.

How could she have pulled away to come here!

Looking closely, he realized that the aura of the "Mysterious Spirit" before him was only at the Golden Core Late Stage.

It seemed to be a Clone?

But a Clone of a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator was still two minor Realms ahead of him; fighting her would be very difficult!

“Hmph, Revered Master is just a Clone.”

“Hehe, I never expected to take a Resurrection Green Snake as a disciple.”

Mysterious Spirit covered her mouth and chuckled.

“...”

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly; this "cheap" Revered Master of his actually recognized the Resurrection Green Snake.

Although she was mistaken—he was a Lisheng Green Snake—he had indeed evolved from a Resurrection Green Snake and possessed its characteristics.

He had only exposed a moment of Demonic Qi beneath the Dragon Palace and hadn't even revealed his true form, yet she was able to recognize him.

“I didn't expect the legendary Resurrection Green Snake to still exist in this world.”

“This Elder thought they were extinct.”

“Just as well, I'll use you to refine a batch of Ancient Resurrection Longevity Pills; they should be able to extend my lifespan by several hundred years.”
