Encounter with Shen Bingqing

Looking at the Venomous Serpent, which had more than twenty insignias hanging from its body, Xiao Ming and the others immediately became vigilant, but their vigilance was mixed with deep confusion.

Because the Venomous Serpent's body was covered in wounds, and streams of foul-smelling blood gushed from these wounds, staining the ground pitch black.

Large patches of the Venomous Serpent's scales had fallen off, and one of its snake eyes was even blinded.

Furthermore.

There was also a lot of shattered frost solidified on the Venomous Serpent's body, indicating it had been attacked by some ice-element martial skill.

“Vice Sect Leader, this Venomous Serpent must have been attacked by other teams and was severely wounded, fleeing in desperation to our location,” Lin Feng said excitedly, rubbing his fists.

“As long as we work together, we can definitely deal with this Venomous Serpent; it has more than twenty insignias on it!”

“I have the same idea!” Wang Hao raised the dragon sparrow blade in his hand, looking ready to strike at any moment.

“Good! Everyone, attack! Let's deal with this great python as quickly as possible!”

Xiao Ming let out a low shout and was the first to attack!

His foot stomped heavily on the ground, and in the next moment, Xiao Ming transformed into a gust of wind and shot out, instantly arriving above the Venomous Serpent's head.

Then he raised the tiangang sword in his hand and slashed down fiercely!

Whoosh!

A dark golden, crescent-shaped sword qi burst out from the tiangang sword's blade, carrying an unparalleled and terrifying sword might as it furiously slashed down!

Sword skill — Shattered Moon Slash!

After unleashing the crescent-shaped sword qi, Xiao Ming's palm waved repeatedly, and he unleashed hundreds of dense and terrifying sword shadows, which hung in the air and poured down like a torrential rain.

This was also his powerful sword skill, Hundred Shadow Frenzy Slash!

And that wasn't all.

After performing Hundred Shadow Frenzy Slash, Xiao Ming extended his empty left palm and pressed it fiercely against the great python's seven-inch vital point!

In an instant.

A total of five Shattered Yuan Sword Qi, emitting colorful light, shot out all at once. The Shattered Yuan Sword Qi were small when they first appeared, but they grew with the wind, instantly expanding to over ten meters long, like guided missiles slamming down!

Xiao Ming's movements were extremely fast; although he unleashed three powerful sword skills in one go, it only took him one second.

And just as Xiao Ming made his move, Lin Feng and Wang Hao also reacted.

Innumerable silver flames spontaneously appeared within Lin Feng's body. The flames blazed, enveloping Lin Feng's entire body, turning him into a complete fire person.

This was his Great Sun Fire Body!

After activating his Great Sun Fire Body, Lin Feng also unleashed dense sword qi, but his sword qi were all composed of silver flames and emitted terrifying high temperatures.

Nine bright points of light lit up on Wang Hao's chest; he, too, had activated his Nine Palaces Star Body.

Perhaps due to the influence of his physique and cultivation method, Wang Hao's unleashed saber light, though extremely grand, was somewhat ethereal and illusory.

It was as if it was composed of starlight, quite wondrous.

The Venomous Serpent, being attacked by all three—Xiao Ming, Lin Feng, and Wang Hao—instantly arched its body. It opened its ferocious snake mouth and spat out streams of black venom, emitting a strong stench and corrosive power.

The venom appeared in the form of water columns and split into three streams, attacking Xiao Ming and the other two respectively.

These venomous water columns were not only highly toxic but also carried powerful penetrating force, even more potent than a martial artist's water-element martial skills!

In the next moment.

“Boom boom boom!!!”

A series of dense explosions rang out, one after another.

After Lin Feng and Wang Hao's martial skills violently collided with the venomous water columns, they reached a state of equilibrium where neither could suppress the other; they intermingled and annihilated each other.

Xiao Ming, however, was different.

His Shattered Moon Slash easily cut through the incoming venomous water column, and then slammed fiercely into the Venomous Serpent's body, cutting a deep, bone-visible, ferocious sword mark into its serpentine body.

And without the obstruction of the venomous water column, hundreds of dense sword shadows, like a swarm of bees, shot straight down, instantly piercing through the Venomous Serpent's body, creating numerous fist-sized, crimson blood holes.

As the blood holes appeared, streams of foul-smelling snake blood sprayed out from within, instantly staining the ground black and red.

Seeing his sword skill so easily inflict heavy damage on the Venomous Serpent, Xiao Ming was first stunned, then overjoyed.

He hadn't actually expected his martial skill to have such immense power; he only intended to suppress the Venomous Serpent and observe Lin Feng and Wang Hao's abilities.

Unexpectedly, this Venomous Serpent was so weak that it was blasted into a hornet's nest by his sword shadows the moment they engaged in battle.

After his astonishment, Xiao Ming also realized.

This Venomous Serpent must have been severely wounded earlier, causing it to appear as a half-step Divine Sea Realm, but its actual combat strength was at most at the Danhu Realm Great Perfection.

Therefore, it was so weak and vulnerable.

And after enduring such an attack, especially losing a large amount of vital blood, the Venomous Serpent's aura became even more listless. It continuously coiled and twisted its body, seemingly enduring immense pain.

More importantly.

The Venomous Serpent's aura inevitably weakened. It was like a flickering candle in the wind, exhaling more than inhaling, on the verge of death and demise at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng and Wang Hao both breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ming, however, sneered, raised the tiangang sword in his hand, and prepared to deliver the final blow to the Venomous Serpent.

With his strength and the tiangang sword’s might, just one strike would be enough to cleave the Venomous Serpent in half and utterly destroy it!

However, just as Xiao Ming was about to raise his sword and strike, three powerful auras suddenly surged from the distant forest, and then figures rushed out from the forest, one after another.

“Stop! The Venomous Serpent is my prey!” A woman’s loud shout suddenly came through.

Xiao Ming and the others subconsciously turned their heads to look, then all frowned.

The person who spoke was actually Shen Bingqing of the True Martial Sword Sect!

At this moment, Shen Bingqing exuded a cold aura, holding a blue ice sword in her hand, and along with her two male companions, had already arrived opposite Xiao Ming.

The moment she saw Xiao Ming, Shen Bingqing was stunned, and then extreme killing intent surged onto her face.

She hadn't expected to encounter Xiao Ming in such a situation!

“You scoundrel from the Spirit Sword Sect, so you were here!” Shen Bingqing laughed in anger, “I searched for you for a whole hour without finding a trace, but I didn't expect to meet you here!”

“Everyone, attack! Let's eliminate these dog-like disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect!”

As she spoke, Shen Bingqing stomped heavily on the ground, directly transforming into a white shadow and charging fiercely towards Xiao Ming!

Her two male companions also targeted Lin Feng and Wang Hao respectively, launching their attacks.

Lin Feng and Wang Hao showed no fear; one held the Fire Devouring Sword, and the other wielded the dragon sparrow blade, rushing forward instead of retreating, and instantly became entangled in battle with the two men.

The great battle officially erupted!
