173: Rhino Snake Tail Demon

Lu Ze changed direction according to Zha Lei's guidance and swept to the side.

After a while, in the distance, Lu Ze saw a huge demon.

This demon was shaped like a rhinoceros, but its body was seven or eight times larger than an ordinary rhinoceros!

This demon was different from any Lu Ze had seen before.

Lu Ze used his Spirit Eye, and the distant scene was instantly pulled closer!

This rhinoceros demon was pure white, and under the faint moonlight, it looked like silver armor!

The long horn on its nose was like a curved sword, covering the top of its head.

The rhinoceros demon didn't realize it had been targeted by Lu Ze, slowly turned around, and fully exposed its back to Lu Ze's eyes.

Lu Ze's gaze dropped, and he suddenly discovered something, muttering with a frown, "What is this?"

The demon's back was very strange; it had two dark green eyes on its rump, and its originally silver tail had turned into something like a black snake tail.

The black scales, under the moonlight, were like venomous snakes hidden deep in the forest, their luster dim, yet highlighting their danger!

As the tail coiled, Lu Ze also saw that its tip was forked, with both sides as sharp as hooks.

Zha Lei also emerged from Lu Ze's clothes, landing on Lu Ze's shoulder.

It didn't have a Spirit Eye like Lu Ze, so it couldn't see that far.

However, through the faint electric charges in the air, it could perceive the demon's appearance.

"Master, this demon seems to have a bit of Gou Snake Bloodline!"

"Gou Snake?"

Lu Ze thought carefully; he had heard about this demon at the Spiritual Energy Academy.

The Gou Snake was originally one of the Vicious Beasts in ancient Chinese legends, named for its forked, hook-like tail.

After the Spiritual Qi resurgence, there was a powerful demon that was extremely similar to the legendary Gou Snake, both in its massive size and hook-like tail, so it was also called a Gou Snake.

Although the Gou Snake was not a Demon King or Demon Emperor, it held an extremely high position among snake-type demons and could command many snake-type demons to fight for it!

Such demons were also called Yao Race Elders!

If this demon truly had Gou Snake Bloodline, then logically, it could command some snake-type demons to assist it in battle!

Before Lu Ze could say anything, the Demon General, who was lying on the sword, darted up and climbed onto Lu Ze's shoulder!

Its eyes were fixed on the front, its tail wagging, as if it had seen something delicious.

Lu Ze also noticed the little red's abnormality; he reached out and stroked the little red's head, smiling as he said, "I almost forgot, you can also eat the powerful Bloodline of some demons to strengthen yourself."

The little red rubbed against Lu Ze's palm very eagerly, its tail wagging even more intensely.

Lu Ze drew his sword, and his gaze swept across, seeing through an area of several tens of miles.

Sure enough, five hundred meters behind the demon, there was a sizable swamp, with many snake-type demons lurking within!

If this demon were attacked, it could instantly escape into the swamp and then summon snake-type demons to fight for it!

Lu Ze quickly made a decision in his heart, said a few words to Zha Lei, who was beside him, and then Lu Ze slowly approached the demon.

Zha Lei also followed Lu Ze's instructions, directly concealing its tracks and arriving directly above the swamp!

Lu Ze stopped eight hundred meters away from the rhinoceros snake-tailed demon!

Lu Ze didn't intend to use the System; this distance was the closest he could get while still concealing his aura.

A few more steps forward, and the demon would discover him!

The demon in the distance was still constantly digging into the ground with its rhinoceros horn, seemingly searching for something.

Suddenly!

"Boom!"

A huge explosion sounded!

The direction of this sound was precisely the swamp!

"Roar, roar, roar!!!"

The moment the explosion ceased, countless painful roars of demons also rang out!

The rhinoceros snake-tailed demon was instantly startled, its body turned, its rump facing the swamp, and its pair of emerald eyes narrowed, trying to ascertain what had happened.

Just as it saw something shaped like a small Dragon coiling above the swamp, constantly releasing lightning, its eyes instantly widened in fury!

This swamp was its territory!

This unknown thing was actually acting presumptuously in its territory!

Did it truly not take it seriously?!

The rhinoceros snake-tailed demon charged towards the swamp in a backward posture, but its speed was extremely fast!

After only fifty meters, the rhinoceros snake-tailed demon suddenly stopped, its body swayed, and a powerful Saber Qi swept past its side!

"Boom!"

The Saber Qi struck the ground, emitting a huge cracking sound!

A deep Saber mark, several meters deep, was instantly cut into the ground!

The rhinoceros snake-tailed demon immediately looked around vigilantly; this Saber strike had appeared suddenly after a star dimmed, and no figure had appeared!

However, to unleash Saber Qi of such power, the attacker must have strength comparable to its own.

The rhinoceros snake-tailed demon looked around, then slightly slowed its pace, retreating towards the swamp.

It had already entered the fifth stage, possessing some cognitive abilities, and knew that without a clear understanding of its opponent, fully entering its own territory was the wise choice!

But how could Lu Ze let it successfully enter the swamp?

Soon!

An extremely fast figure flew over like lightning, and the blade of a sword reached the demon's front in an instant!

The demon's eyes instantly turned cold!

Its snake tail's double hooks shot out in an instant, like sharp swords, stabbing towards the flying figure!

Lu Ze, holding his sword, turned and collided with the snake tail!

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

Dazzling sparks flew between the snake tail's scales and the sword; the demon didn't want to directly confront Lu Ze, so it used the force to its advantage, flicked its tail, and completely dissipated Lu Ze's strength.

Lu Ze's body also stopped its charge as the force was dissipated, landing on the ground!

The demon seized the moment and immediately ran towards the swamp!

Lu Ze shook the sword in his hand, looked at the fleeing demon, a smile playing on his lips, then pointed two fingers with his left hand.

Instantly!

A vast Sword Qi shot into the sky, hovering above the demon's head!

This Shunxin Sword Intent inherited all the power of Daoist Wunian before his death.

Lu Ze, at the Early Stage of the fifth rank, using it, could suppress even a Minor Achievement fifth-rank individual, let alone a demon that had just transformed into the fifth stage!

"Boom!"

Supreme pressure descended, and the demon's body instantly froze, its four legs as if filled with lead, making it difficult to lift them again!

And Lu Ze had already arrived with his sword, its blade like lightning, carrying absolute killing intent, slashing horizontally towards the demon's neck!

"Roar!"

The rhinoceros snake-tailed demon suddenly let out a loud roar, and its snake tail shot towards Lu Ze's face in an extremely twisted manner!

Lu Ze advanced instead of retreating, and a Spiritual Qi flame instantly surged on the blade of his sword.

"Clang!"

The blade swept out, directly striking the snake tail and deflecting it!

At this moment, a strange scene occurred.

Green light emanated from the body of the rhinoceros snake-tailed demon, and a purplish-green smoke also spread out.

Lu Ze immediately held his breath and paused his steps slightly.

In just this brief instant, the demon had undergone a drastic transformation!
