151: Chapter 151 Green Snake vs. the Monks
The fleeing Xu Qing quickly reached the city wall.
With Xu Qing's vitality, a new arm grew back in the blink of an eye.
He was just about to fly out of the city and leave this eerie place.
But usually, when nothing is expected to go wrong, something inevitably does.
Indeed, Xu Qing could vaguely sense this.
This world had never been kind to him, the Xu Qing Snake.
The Evil Monks began to chant Buddhist Sutras one after another.
Amidst the Buddhist Sutras, Xu Qing's mind became exceptionally irritable.
He shook his head as several monks rushed at him with zen staffs, surrounding him completely.
Beams of red Buddhist Light enveloped him, boring into his skin.
"green tail white bristle, go!"
Enraged, Xu Qing spat out a mouthful of Green Fire and activated his sword incantation, driving the green tail white hair sword.
The green tail white hair sword emitted a clear and resonant sword cry, with sword shadows multiplying and sword light crisscrossing.
This was the Green Fire Sword Flood Dragon technique that Xu Qing had created himself.
The green flood dragon roared and pounced on a monk, with Green Fire Sword Qi entwining its body and constantly erupting.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Qing held the Xiliang Sword and charged out like a slithering snake.
With one hand forming a seal, he pointed toward the Green Fire Sword Flood Dragon.
The Green Fire Sword Flood Dragon coiled around the monk layer by layer, rendering him unable to move.
"Die!"
The blade of the Xiliang Sword was restrained, flashing with an ordinary green light as it slid across the monk's head.
Like a water droplet falling into a still pond, it created only a gentle ripple.
The head fell.
[Ding, killed Early Golden Core stage Cultivator]
[Dao Cultivation +50, evolution points +20]
[Items obtained...]
Killing an opponent of the same rank with thunderous momentum, the thrifty Xu Qing formed a claw with one hand and pierced through the monk's abdomen.
Then he pulled out a bloody golden Talisman.
"Vile creature! Have you still not repented!"
The monks were furious.
They never expected this green snake's Divine Ability to be so powerful.
In the previous battle, its Divine Ability hadn't even been fully revealed!
Don't the books record that the Resurrection Green Snake is just a combat weakling with ridiculously high vitality!
Clearly, the books these monks had were probably... from the same author as the one Mysterious Spirit read.
"..."
The numerous monks activated their Divine Abilities, swarming toward Xu Qing together.
Even if Xu Qing could crush those of the same rank, he couldn't withstand being ganged up on.
"Hell Descends!"
No longer hesitating, he formed seals with both hands and threw out the gourd.
Yin Qi filled the sky!
The gourd spun frantically, and the character for "Hell" upon it erupted with lightning!
Silver lightning entwined the entire gourd like little writhing snakes, darting up and down.
The hell pagoda pressed down with astonishing momentum.
Yin winds howled, and Death Qi permeated the air.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The phantoms of several Tongtian Mountain peaks pressed down as if to blot out the sky.
The Floating Island lit up with colorful light, suspended in the sky.
Seven colors shifted constantly, and treasure light overflowed.
As if a Domain had unfolded, the monks felt as though they had entered another world.
At this moment, Xu Qing held a sword in one hand and formed a seal with the other.
The Green Fire Sword Flood Dragon circled his body, its dragon-like majesty and Sword Qi flowing.
The next moment.
He clashed with the monks.
Mountains shattered, the pagoda shook, thunder roared, and Buddhist Light filled the sky.
Houses collapsed, and city walls toppled.
The giant green snake whipped its tail while the monks swung their staffs; sword shadows and staff strikes intersected, snake cries and human sighs mingled, and Yin Qi churned.
"Vengeful Spirit, summon!"
Xu Qing pressed his palms together.
All the resentment accumulated during this time surged out, and the mournful wails and roars of Vengeful Spirits filled the sky.
Amidst the pitch-black malevolent energy, a distorted, giant figure appeared.
It roared and stomped its feet.
It vented its pain and swung its giant claws.
Lightning turned into chains, and dark fire became its eyes.
"What immense malevolence! Snake demon, you torture the souls of all living beings; you have committed a great sin!"
Xu Qing laughed wildly, his long hair fluttering chaotically in the wind, exuding a sense of free-spirited madness.
"They deserve this!"
"Vengeful Spirit, go!"
At this moment, Xu Qing didn't have a shred of the golden light of an Auspicious Beast; instead, the blood-red light of a Vicious Beast radiated from his body, reaching the heavens.
"As Yama commands!"
The Vengeful Spirit charged out, Yin Qi and Death Qi erupting with every movement, as it condensed a pagoda to hold in its hand.
With a pagoda in one hand, it swung the other.
Its feet stomped wildly, crushing a house; the ground felt as if an earth dragon were turning over.
The tremors were constant.
"Join me in delivering these Vengeful Spirits!"
Deliverer of Demons waved his Kashaya and formed a Buddhist Seal with both hands.
The monks all joined their hands and formed Buddhist Seals.
The blood-red Buddhist Light merged into one, rising as a Blood Cloud from which the sounds of Buddha seemed to echo.
An Asura Dharma Image reached out to part the clouds, its blood-red eyes looking down with overwhelming power.
Xu Qing looked at the Asura in the clouds; his snake bones felt a wave of soreness, and a sense of crisis spread through his entire body.
"Sinful Spirit, hold it up for me!"
The Vengeful Spirit roared, stretching out its arms without fear or hesitation to support the descending Blood Cloud.
Cracks spread from its palms to its shoulders.
Yin Qi leaked from the cracks.
Its legs sank deep into the earth, and its Yin Qi trembled incessantly.
"Save all sentient beings, let them all return to my Buddha."
Ignoring the Buddhist sounds boring into his brain, Xu Qing whipped his snake tail and opened his mouth to spit out a pearl.
The green flood dragon pearl spun rapidly.
"Flood Dragon, destroy that Blood Cloud!"
A whistle came from the green flood dragon pearl as Xu Qing's Demonic Power surged out.
A green flood dragon whipped its tail and charged out of the flood dragon pearl, soaring upward against the current toward the Blood Cloud.
The green flood dragon's belly bulged as it spat out a mouthful of Green Fire with the momentum to burn the clouds.
The erupting Green Fire forcefully held up the falling Blood Cloud.
The two sides were at a stalemate.
But the opponent had a group of Golden Core monks.
On Xu Qing's side, there was only him.
His Demonic Power was being drained in large quantities; he couldn't hold on for much longer.
"xi liang, I'm sorry to put you through this."
Xu Qing looked at the Xiliang Sword.
The latter emitted a sword cry and transformed into a beam of sword light without hesitation, charging toward the Blood Cloud.
The sword was filled with green light.
Cracks spread from the crossguard to the hilt and the blade, as Sword Qi poured out as if it cost nothing.
"Boom!"
A massive explosion rang out.
Sword Qi and sword shadows turned into a swirling storm, and a green Mushroom Cloud rose.
Under the massive shockwave, the Blood Cloud shook uncontrollably.
Taking the opportunity, the Green Fire flared up with the power to break clouds and burn the heavens, scorching the Asura Dharma Image within the clouds.
The Buddhist Cultivators all spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xu Qing, whose mind was connected to his natal spirit artifact, the Xiliang Sword, also spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then, he used his Demonic Power to wrap the blood he had spat out and stored it in a jade bottle.
The entire process seemed like muscle memory, his hands moving uncontrollably.
"amitabha, may the Asura deliver me, deliver him, and deliver the world!"
The Asura Dharma Image, enveloped in Green Fire, no longer held its palms together.
He raised his palm.
And struck down.
The Green Fire retreated, and the Vengeful Spirit shattered into Yin Qi, yet the momentum did not diminish in the slightest.
It pressed down precisely toward Xu Qing.
The hell pagoda was knocked back into the heaven-accepting gourd, and neither the lightning nor the dark fire could get near him.
Xu Qing's pupils instantly alternated between black and white, shifting Yin and Yang, as he tried to escape into the Boundary of Life and Death.
His figure distorted bit by bit, turning into nothingness.
Oh no, it's too fast!
I can't dodge it!
I'm going to die...
At that moment...
In the sky.
The Asura Dharma Image dropped its palm, and the Blood Cloud's Buddhist Light transformed into a Kashaya to drape over its body.
One hand performed a Buddhist salute, while the monks before it chanted the sutra for Universal Salvation.
On the earth.
The green snake's eyes were sinister and strange, its green tail like Jadeite.
One hand remained still, while the other stroked the green tail.
"Explode!"
Green light soared into the sky, shattering the clouds.
A Mushroom Cloud that blotted out the sky rose, and the earth cracked and shook.
It could be seen a hundred miles away and felt a thousand miles away.
The entire sky was filled with sharp Sword Qi.
As far as the eye could see, there was only heaven-burning Green Fire.
