198: Chapter 198 The Green Snake's Peak Strength

Xu Qing and his Clone both left behind afterimages, swiftly attacking Dao Xuan from both sides.

The latter brandished his long spear, and two sounds of Clanging rang out.

He blocked the attacks of both simultaneously.

Great Strength surged from the long spear, sending Xu Qing and his Clone flying backward together.

Xu Qing had always been a snake of monstrous strength, yet he was sent bouncing back by the Great Strength.

This human's strength is too immense!

"Thunder Punishment Spear, Fall."

Dao Xuan held the spear in one hand while forming a hand seal with the other.

Dark clouds suddenly covered the sky, and a flash of thunder transformed into a thunder spear, piercing straight toward Xu Qing.

"Space Barrier!"

This long-dormant skill was finally being used.

After all, the green snake only fought high-level battles, so many low-level skills couldn't be used.

Several Space Barriers unfolded in an instant, blocking the falling thunder spear.

"Wind Blade!"

A massive Wind Blade slashed out.

Dao Xuan swung his long spear, easily parrying the Wind Blade.

"My Buddha Ming Wang, Appear!"

Xu Qing and his Clone formed hand seals together, each condensing a three-headed, six-armed wrathful image of Ming Wang.

"Interesting."

The two Xu Qings both turned into afterimages and charged at Dao Xuan.

The Ming Wang images opened their six arms, raining down punches with glares that intimidated everything around them.

Dao Xuan danced with his long spear and fists, meeting the attacks from both sides simultaneously.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sounds of collision echoed high in the sky.

One black and two green Escape Lights continuously collided, but the green lights soon fell into a disadvantage, being smashed into the ground, crushing a large area of houses and creating a deep pit.

"Cough, cough!"

He and his Clone's Ming Wang images shattered at the same time.

Xu Qing spat out a mouthful of blood; without time to wipe his mouth, he hurriedly stood up to dodge.

A black spear shot out straight, its tip sinking deep into the ground where he had just been lying.

Xu Qing quickly looked for Hei Xuan's position.

"Flick."

A frivolous voice sounded from behind.

His waist was pierced through, and he was flicked into mid-air.

"Smash."

The spearhead turned and smashed heavily into his abdomen.

The sound of bones cracking echoed continuously.

"Thrust."

This thrust aimed straight for Xu Qing's heart.

"Charm!"

Dao Xuan's long spear paused.

Xu Qing took the opportunity to kick the long spear away and flashed to a distance.

"What a strong Charm ability."

Dao Xuan regained consciousness at this moment and couldn't help but offer a word of praise.

Xu Qing ignored him and formed hand seals along with his Clone.

"Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl!"

The Xiliang Sword and green tail white hair sword shot out together, transforming into two green flood dragons that carried the green flood dragon pearl as they charged toward Dao Xuan.

Dao Xuan threw his long spear and formed hand seals with both hands.

"Piercing Spear Style, Yao Slaying!"

The long spear pierced straight toward the two swimming flood dragons, and the two collided.

A booming sound erupted.

The entire Black City shook, and countless houses collapsed from the shock.

The two flood dragons were pierced through by the black spear, which continued its momentum, still aiming straight for Xu Qing.

"Hell Descends!"

A massive black pagoda descended, with waves of Yin Qi almost submerging this world.

It was indeed the hell pagoda.

The hell pagoda blocked the long spear, completely undamaged.

"Four-Eyed Dragon Lizard, Vengeful Spirit Summoning!"

The mouth of the heaven-accepting gourd tilted, and billowing resentment flowed out continuously, transforming into a four-eyed horned lizard.

Xu Qing landed steadily on the head of the lizard, which was wreathed in Death Qi; the hell pagoda hovered above him, and the Green Fire Sword Flood Dragon swam around him.

The other Xu Qing sat cross-legged on the hell pagoda, eyes closed in meditation, continuously absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to convert into Demonic Qi to sustain the hell pagoda's consumption.

This was Xu Qing's "ultra-long standby" state.

The two Xu Qings worked in tandem, one fighting and the other replenishing resources.

As for which one was the real Xu Qing and which was the Clone...

...only Xu Qing himself likely knew.

'If I kill you, I can evolve directly.'

"Therefore, you must die today."

Xu Qing tore off the tiancheng cloth, and his eyes—one black and white, the other blood-red—lit up simultaneously.

Today, I shall slay a Nascent Soul from below.

"Arrogant snake demon."

Dao Xuan put away his previous frivolity and showed a serious expression.

Because at this moment, Xu Qing made him feel a threat to his life.

He slapped the Storage Pouch at his waist.

He released a bear demon, a wolf demon, and a fox demon.

Two were at the Golden Core Late Stage, and one was at Golden Core Perfection.

"Beast taming?"

Xu Qing frowned.

After all, he was a Yao Beast himself, so seeing other Yao Beasts enslaved made him somewhat displeased.

"You will be my next tamed beast."

"Go!"

The bear demon, wolf demon, and fox demon all charged at Xu Qing simultaneously.

Dao Xuan also rushed at Xu Qing, his long spear dancing as the sound of breaking air rang out continuously.

"Four-Eyed Dragon Lizard, let's go!"

"As my Lord commands!"

The Four-Eyed Dragon Lizard opened all four eyes at once, each shining with a different light.

He opened his mouth and spat out billowing Yin Fire.

Xu Qing held the Xiliang Sword, its light protecting him as the Green Fire Sword Flood Dragon roared and surged forth.

"Thunder Punishment Spear Rain, Fall!"

Heavenly thunder rolled.

Countless bolts of lightning stabbed out from the thunderclouds, transforming into thunder spears that fell like a heavenly punishment, as if a rain of thunder spears was pouring down.

"hell pagoda!"

"Thunder Punishment Hell, Descends!"

The Xu Qing sitting on the hell pagoda opened his eyes and slapped the pagoda beneath him.

The second floor of the hell pagoda lit up.

Countless silver bolts of lightning flickered, carrying Yin Qi as they met the falling thunder spear rain.

Thunderclaps echoed incessantly.

"Roar!"

The Four-Eyed Dragon Lizard roared, and one of its eyes lit up.

The wolf demon that had charged forward became unable to move.

Indeed, it was one of the Four-Eyed Dragon Lizard's Divine Abilities: Immobilization.

The Green Fire Sword Flood Dragon Entwined around it and suddenly constricted; the Green Fire and Sword Qi then incinerated and tore the wolf demon to shreds.

"Useless thing!"

Dao Xuan didn't show the slightest bit of sadness; he flashed toward the Xu Qing on the back of the Four-Eyed Dragon Lizard and threw a punch with the sound of breaking air.

"Immobilize!"

The Four-Eyed Dragon Lizard used its Immobilization dharma eye once again.

But Dao Xuan was not affected in the least.

Xu Qing flipped his hand and took out a massive scale wrapped in chains to block the attack.

It was indeed the scale of the World Serpent.

A deafening crash sounded, and Xu Qing was sent flying along with the scale.

"Such a hard thing, what is it?"

"Your discarded conscience."

Xu Qing stood up, his left hand glowing with green light as vines grew out, Entwining the World Serpent scale to his arm to use as a shield.

Then, he and the Four-Eyed Dragon Lizard charged at Dao Xuan from front and back.

"Yin Fire Hell, Descends!"

Boundless Yin Fire flowed down from the hell pagoda, surging toward Dao Xuan.

Dao Xuan flashed to dodge, but the Four-Eyed Dragon Lizard behind him also spat out Yin Fire.

He was forced to parry.

Xu Qing took the opportunity to form a hand seal.

"Poison Mist Hell, Descends!"

"Heavy Water Hell, Descends!"

"Weakness Hell, Descends!"

Flowing heavy water and spreading poison mist surged out simultaneously.

[Yama] skill triggered; while within Hell, the effects of all skills are enhanced.

"What kind of ghostly Demonic Technique is this!"

Even as a thorough villain, Dao Xuan felt Xu Qing's skills were too bizarre at this moment.

Moreover, this snake simply couldn't be killed, and neither could that four-eyed lizard.

No matter how severe the injury, they could recover in the blink of an eye.

This was too outrageous.

At this moment, multiple Hells were activated simultaneously, continuously affecting Dao Xuan.

The longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation became for him.
