152: Chapter 152 Green Snake's Reinforcements
In the endless darkness.
Pain a hundred times more terrifying than the hell pagoda enveloped Xu Qing.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!"
Only endless silence responded to Xu Qing.
It was terrifyingly familiar.
I don't want to die.
Every time in this pain, the terrifying thought of Suicide would uncontrollably invade his brain.
He wanted to end it all once and for all.
And the Suicide skill was like a tempting candy, always hanging at the corner of Xu Qing's mouth, within reach.
Endure, endure.
...
The green mushroom cloud dissipated.
Deliverer of Demons stood up unsteadily.
Half of the city had already disappeared.
All that remained was a deep pit flowing with lava.
Scorching steam rose continuously.
The group of monks looked pathetic as they knelt and bowed toward the blood mass in the sky.
If the "Demon Lord" hadn't protected them with blood light at the critical moment, many would have surely died or been injured under the power of the green snake's Self-Destruct.
How could the Self-Destruct of an ordinary Early Golden Core stage Yao Beast have such power?
The power of this green snake's Self-Destruct was almost comparable to that of a Golden Core Perfection Yao Beast.
Of course, they didn't know that Xu Qing had used Self-Destruct many times, and the skill had already reached level 4.
"The Resurrection Green Snake will resurrect in ten breaths. Prepare to engage..."
Just as Deliverer of Demons finished speaking.
A green snake emerged from the Void Realm and swung a sword at him.
A crazy smile was on his beautiful face.
In reality, it was just because it hurt so damn much!
"Die for This Snake!"
The sword light of the green tail white hair sword gushed out.
While there was clearly a wild laugh on his face, his black and white eyes were filled with a sinister coldness.
Deliverer of Demons looked at the face that was inches away.
He raised his zen staff to meet the green sword.
As the green sword fell, the ground beneath Deliverer of Demons' feet cracked piece by piece under the Great Strength.
"Die, die, die!"
Xu Qing struck down sword after sword, falling like driving rain.
The zen staff vibrated.
Deliverer of Demons felt as if both his hands were about to be shattered, blood staining the zen staff red.
*Clang!*
The zen staff finally flew out of his hand, knocked away by a sword strike.
The green tail white hair sword slashed down without hesitation.
"Slash!"
The sword hummed.
Blood light appeared.
Nothing else was seen but a head soaring into the sky.
[Ding! Killed a Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator]
[Dao Cultivation +70, evolution points +40]
[Obtained: immortal fragrance wood x1]
[immortal fragrance wood] An extinct spiritual wood. A hundred people will smell a hundred different scents, each matching the smeller's heart's desire. It is indestructible and has the effect of nurturing objects and creating spirits.
"Hahaha!"
Xu Qing laughed as he pierced Deliverer of Demons' corpse with his long sword and dug out the golden core imprint.
Then he withdrew his sword and picked up Deliverer of Demons' head with it.
"What a fine bald donkey's head!"
He held Deliverer of Demons' head in one hand and his sword in the other.
He took a step forward.
The monks' legs uncontrollably took a step back.
One snake intimidated the group of Cultivators.
Xu Qing's Demonic Power was exhausted, and the pain tortured him to the point where he could barely stand.
But he still had to put on a front.
A group of Cultivators, and above them, a so-called "Demon Lord" of unknown depth was reviving.
The odds were stacked against him.
The odds were stacked against him indeed.
He flipped his hand to take out a square chair, stepped on Deliverer of Demons' head, and leaned against the backrest.
He took out the heaven-stealing lamp and gulped down a large mouthful.
The aroma of the wine suppressed some of the pain, and his Demonic Qi recovered a bit, making him feel much better.
"..."
The air fell into an eerie silence.
They were terrified of provoking Xu Qing into another Self-Destruct; if that happened, they would surely be doomed.
And Xu Qing was afraid they would come over; in his current state, a fight would be a near-death experience.
In such a poor state, even the power of a Self-Destruct would be mediocre.
Besides, resurrecting twice in a short time made Xu Qing shudder just thinking about it; he definitely wouldn't be able to hold on.
Twice in a row, who could take that?
It wasn't that Xu Qing was incompetent; even the Resurrection Green Snake probably couldn't handle it.
A delicate balance.
Until the blood mass in the sky moved.
The massive blood mass had already compressed to the size of one zhang.
Like a blood cocoon.
The surface of the blood cocoon squirmed continuously, as if something was about to break out.
"amitabha, the Demon Lord brings bliss to the world!"
The Buddhist Cultivators' faces were full of joy as they all turned to look at Xu Qing.
The balance was broken, and the monks all fearlessly performed Divine Ability and rushed toward Xu Qing.
"Heaven does not grant the snake's wishes!"
Xu Qing raised his sword and forced himself to stand.
The little bit of Demonic Power he had just recovered surged out as he performed a sword gesture.
The green tail white hair sword lit up with a dim glimmer.
"Boom!"
A purple shadow descended, her purple dress fluttering.
She had a graceful figure and beautiful features.
With a gentle point of her finger, the monks were rendered unable to move.
"I'm not late, am I?"
"My Lady."
Xu Qing wanted to cry, but out of concern for his image, he held it back.
"Elder Li, I've missed you so much."
Li Xiaomo in private, Elder Li to her face.
Xu Qing understood how to play the game perfectly.
"What happened here?"
Elder Li frowned, looking around.
Xu Qing recounted the events exactly as they had happened.
He added some embellishments to the part where he was being ganged up on, completely depicting these evil monks as unpardonably wicked.
In fact, it wasn't far from the truth.
"Demon Lord?"
Elder Li looked up at the blood cocoon.
Then she swung her sword, delivering a slash.
The long sword was entirely purple; it wasn't the twin blades.
The twin blades had been severely damaged in the last battle; it seemed they hadn't recovered yet.
*Clang!*
The sword light was blocked by the blood cocoon.
"Could this be... Not good, run!"
As if thinking of something, Elder Li picked up Xu Qing and fled toward the Xia Dynasty.
Xu Qing didn't dare to speak.
Looking at Elder Li's expression, it seemed to be something extraordinary.
"To think the Demon Lord has descended here."
While flying away, Elder Li's voice rang out.
Xu Qing hurriedly asked.
"What is the Demon Lord?"
"...This Elder doesn't know either, but that aura is unmistakable."
"Mother said long ago that if you catch a whiff of this aura, you should just run."
Xu Qing remained silent.
Elder Li pulled out a jade plaque and crushed it instantly.
"What is this?"
"A token with Mother's body fragrance; I really hate to part with it."
"Officer, there's a pervert here."
It seemed that just as he had called Elder Li when he realized he couldn't beat the monks...
...Elder Li realized she couldn't win either and naturally called for Daya.
Hit the small one, and the old one comes.
Hit the old one, and the even older one comes.
"Not good, it's actually catching up."
Elder Li frowned.
The twin blades hadn't recovered yet, and she only had sixty to seventy percent of her Peak power; things were looking quite bad.
"This green snake, how could he encounter such things every time he stepped out?"
The green snake didn't understand either.
Maybe he should go to some temple to burn incense and see if he could change his luck.
No, he himself was the god enshrined in the River God Temple.
He wondered if burning incense to himself would work.
"Twins, protect My Lady and leave."
"I'll hold it back for a while."
Elder Li summoned the cracked twin blades and performed a hand seal, casting the Art of Pardoning Swords and Transforming.
The twin blades transformed into a pair of twins, both cupping their hands in salute to Elder Li.
"As you command, Master."
"Don't push yourself too hard. Be careful."
Xu Qing was a bit afraid that Elder Li might die.
Usually, guys who say things like 'you go first, I'll stay and hold them back' are about to bite the dust.
When that happens, the entire Xuanyun Sect will have a funeral feast.
He should probably be at the seat of honor; in terms of seniority alone, his status as the green snake was top-tier in the entire Cultivation World.
