199: Chapter 199 The Strange Form of the Green Snake

Xu Qing and Dao Xuan collided once again, and both were sent flying backward.

"My power has weakened?"

Dao Xuan clenched his fists and furrowed his brows.

He was a Body Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage; his physical body was indestructible and his strength was boundless.

Yet now, he had actually been weakened.

Several streams of water smashed toward him. He quickly raised his arms and threw punch after punch.

The water streams were as heavy as ten thousand tons, giving Dao Xuan the sensation that he was punching against an entire lake.

"Freeze!"

One eye of the Four-Eyed Dragon Lizard lit up. The weakened Dao Xuan's body stiffened slightly, and he was struck squarely in the cheek by Xu Qing's incoming fist.

"The Green Snake's Iron Fist of Justice shall sanction all evil."

Before being knocked down, he faintly heard the Green Snake's nonsensical words.

Boom!

Dao Xuan slammed violently into the ground, kicking up a massive cloud of dust.

As for Xu Qing's right hand, the counterforce had left it a bloody mess.

"So hard!"

Clenching his fist, a green light flashed, and his right hand was restored to its original state—still smooth and delicate.

From within the dust, Dao Xuan shot toward Xu Qing, his long spear thrusting forward with a cold glint.

Xu Qing dodged, placing the World Serpent scales wrapped around his left hand in front of him to block the spear strike.

The Four-Eyed Dragon Lizard leaped up, its massive claws carrying Yin Fire and heavenly thunder as they bore down on Dao Xuan.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions rang out continuously as spiritual lights of various colors flashed over Black City.

The stray spiritual light and shockwaves alone could level large areas of housing and claim countless lives.

To the other people in Black City, today felt like the apocalypse had arrived.

Deep beneath Black City, several tunnels had already been excavated.

The tunnels intersected and connected with each other like a bizarre Formation diagram, spreading across the entire underground of Black City.

At this moment, several Cultivators were moving through the tunnels.

Cultivators with significant Dao Cultivation sat cross-legged at various nodes of the tunnels, continuously performing hand Seals.

Specks of red light seeped into the ground of Black City and flowed into the tunnels.

"For the Bliss Demon Lord."

"For the Bliss Demon Lord!"

These people were actually all Demon Disciples.

At this moment, they all wore expressions of fanaticism, as if they had been brainwashed.

The red Qi gathered more and more in the underground tunnels, and the entire tunnel system began to slowly operate like a Formation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Meanwhile, on the surface above Black City...

Xu Qing, wielding the Xiliang Sword, clashed repeatedly with Dao Xuan, leaving behind a series of afterimages in the sky.

"Snake demon, surrender now, and I am willing to let you leave!"

Dao Xuan was also losing his nerve.

Damn it, this Green Snake was too ridiculous.

He was like a freaking unkillable cockroach.

He didn't even know how many times he had pierced through the Green Snake's body, yet the creature could still fight him.

However, he would not admit defeat.

He had his own dignity and pride.

"Bullshit! Go to hell!"

Xu Qing gave Dao Xuan a 'civilized' greeting.

Then he gulped down a mouthful of green snake wine. Demonic Qi surged from his body, his cheeks flushed, and his Aura returned to its peak.

Fearless of death, he brandished the Xiliang Sword and charged forward with flailing limbs.

It was as if he had gone into a drunken frenzy.

The long spear vibrated as it blocked the Xiliang Sword. Xu Qing swung his tail, directly Entwining Dao Xuan's leg and yanking hard.

"Bastard!"

Caught off guard, Dao Xuan lost his balance and was pulled through the air by the thick tail.

Roar!

All four eyes of the Four-Eyed Dragon Lizard shone at once.

Freeze, Toxin, and Weaken were activated simultaneously.

"Lightning Escape, Lightning Transformation!"

Dao Xuan's hands moved rapidly in Seals as he spat out an incantation, and silver light erupted from his entire body.

Then, his entire being transformed into jumping electricity, breaking free from Xu Qing's tail.

"green flood dragon ring, go!"

Seeing this, Xu Qing unhesitatingly summoned the green flood dragon ring.

The green flood dragon ring appeared and, with a shake in the wind, transformed into a giant ring that sought to loop around the flashing lightning.

"Seal!"

As the command fell, the ring tightened abruptly, attempting to forcibly Seal Dao Xuan.

Runes floated out from the green flood dragon ring, turning into chains that Entwined the lightning, preventing it from escaping.

The lightning flashed angrily, the roaring sound deafening as it tried to break the shackles, causing the green flood dragon ring to wobble wildly in the air.

"Lightning Art, Demon Subjugation!"

The flashing lightning transformed back into Dao Xuan.

He opened his mouth and spat out a bolt of purple lightning, catching it in one hand. Instantly, purple lightning patterns crawled across his entire body.

His muscles bulged one by one, and the upper half of his robes was torn into shredded rags.

Purple electricity danced across the surface of his body, and even his eyes seemed to flow with liquid lightning.

"Break!"

With a low shout, he exerted his full strength. The purple lightning crackled as he physically broke free from the green flood dragon ring that bound him.

"Damn, this boss has a second phase."

Both Xu Qings complained at the same time.

But before they could continue their commentary, Dao Xuan let out a roar. Surrounded by surging purple lightning, he charged at Xu Qing.

He threw a punch.

He was so fast that Xu Qing only perceived a passing afterimage.

Without a doubt, it was a Lightning Escape technique!

He barely managed to raise his arms to block, but was instantly overturned by the Great Strength of the fist.

Green vines surged out instantly, wrapping around his body in circles as he was smashed violently toward the ground.

Roar!

The Four-Eyed Dragon Lizard let out a roar and charged at Dao Xuan.

Dao Xuan performed a roundhouse kick, striking the massive dragon lizard and flipping it over directly.

With purple lightning surging, he flickered again and vanished.

Xu Qing's pupils constricted violently. He flickered to dodge, but was still sent flying by the air currents from Dao Xuan smashing the ground.

Before he could land...

The sound of breaking air rang out behind him, followed by the sound of bones shattering.

Then, a continuous barrage of blows landed on Xu Qing, preventing him from ever touching the ground.

His body could no longer hold out and began to dissipate.

"Die!"

Dao Xuan thrust his spear toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing closed his eyes, about to trigger a Self-Destruct.

The Xu Qing sitting atop the hell pagoda stood up at that moment. His figure flickered, and he appeared in front of the other Xu Qing.

His right eye glowed with a blood-red light.

Xu Qing extended his sleeve, and blood-colored chains shot out from the cuff like small snakes, rushing toward Dao Xuan.

The protected Xu Qing looked at the Xu Qing in front of him in disbelief.

This... was not the original body!

It was already the Demon Lord!

The original body had been completely controlled by the Demon Lord!

When? Why?

And why hadn't he, this Clone, dissipated yet!

Ultimately, he was just a Clone and should not possess self-awareness.

Why did I have self-awareness?

Xu Qing's heart pounded wildly.

Confused consciousness filled his entire brain for a moment.

He had to find a way to save the original body.

At this moment, the original Xu Qing in front slowly turned his head.

A bizarre blood-red light shone from his right eye.

"Demon Locks, Constrict."

As Xu Qing spoke, countless blood-red chains extended from his back.

The clattering sound of collisions rang out continuously as they surged toward Dao Xuan from all directions.

"Mere Demonic Techniques!"

Dao Xuan gripped his spear with one hand and performed a Seal with the other. Purple lightning surged, enveloping the long spear.

Then, he clashed his spear against the blood chains.

Thunder and blood-light billowed, and for a time, they were evenly matched, neither able to overcome the other.

"Descent of the Blood Sea."

Xu Qing showed no expression, gently raising his arm and pointing slightly.

In an instant, the sky turned blood-red.

Like a boundless sea of blood.

"Fall."

With a gentle swipe of his finger, a rain of blood fell from the sky.

Dao Xuan's Divine Sense issued a frantic warning. He hurriedly brandished his spear, flickering his body to dodge the blood rain.

Every drop of blood rain carried boundless evil energy; if even a trace touched him, his mind would become clouded and deranged.
