161: Kill the giant python with one arrow

Hearing this, Hua Li was shocked.

"The Yao Beasts here are so dense they stretch as far as the eye can see, at least a thousand of them. Even if we exhaust all our Qi, we probably won't be able to kill them all, right?"

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "We don't need to kill them all, just break through the encirclement. If you can't do it, it doesn't mean Miss Yun Li can't. Hua Li, Long Yang, you two don't need to act, conserve your Qi. Miss Yun Li and I will clear the way for you."

Hua Li frowned.

"Lu Xingchen, your secret technique to boost your strength definitely has a time limit, it might not be suitable for this kind of place, right?"

Long Yang tugged Hua Li's shoulder and smiled, "Junior Brother Lu's strength isn't due to a secret technique. Listen to him."

Hua Li was even more surprised.

She was only tenth on the Heavenly Ranking, and indeed no match for Lu Xingchen.

But Long Yang, who was sixth on the Heavenly Ranking and an Eight-Star Martial King, also had such faith in Lu Xingchen.

What was he relying on?

Yun Li said softly, "Alright! I've been in secluded cultivation on Saintess Peak these days, I'm almost bored to death. Now I finally have a chance to act! Lu Xingchen, old rules, you tank in front, and I'll deal damage from the back."

"Alright!"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, then drew his shadow sword and charged into the Yao Beast group.

His cultivation as a Six-Star Martial King greatly surprised the three.

A Six-Star Martial King was nothing to a normal Inner Sect Disciple, but Lu Xingchen had only joined the Cangxuan Sect less than a year ago!

When he first entered the sect, he was merely a Great Martial Master.

Such a rapid increase in strength was truly hard to accept.

But then, something even more unbelievable happened.

Even without using a secret technique, Lu Xingchen displayed powerful combat prowess. Fourth-tier Demonic Beasts couldn't even get close, and even Fifth-rank Demonic Beasts were slain by a single sword strike from him.

Only Yao Beasts above fifth tier five-star could withstand one of his sword strikes.

Yun Li followed behind Lu Xingchen, taking out her blue-purple bow and arrows, unleashing a frenzy of attacks.

Her combat power was even fiercer than Lu Xingchen's. Although she used the Consecutive Arrow Technique, sacrificing attack power for speed, she still managed to take down one Yao Beast with each arrow.

Even Fifth-rank Demonic Beasts couldn't last a single move against her.

Lu Xingchen was also startled.

This girl is too fierce!

He feared that even if he used the Heaven Swallowing Art to raise his Realm to Martial Emperor, he would absolutely not be her opponent.

If he was closer, he might be able to hold on for a while, but if he was a thousand meters away, Yun Li could kite him to death!

Originally, with his rapidly increasing strength, Lu Xingchen thought he had the capital to fight Yun Li.

Now he realized he was still too far from her!

That slight feeling of complacency vanished, replaced only by a huge sense of crisis.

Just like that, Lu Xingchen and Yun Li cooperated, fighting their way up the mountain.

Even though the Yao Beast horde was like a tide, it couldn't break through their defense line.

Ninety percent of the Yao Beasts died by Yun Li's arrows; Lu Xingchen only killed a very small number.

But even so, he successfully broke through when he reached the mountainside, becoming a Seven-Star Martial King.

Lu Xingchen was in combat, his aura exposed, and the information of his Realm Breakthrough was easily detected by the three.

Hua Li was even more astonished.

Yun Li and Long Yang were mentally prepared, but they were also filled with envy.

"Could he really be the fifth War God?" This thought appeared in Yun Li's mind.

Then her gaze towards Lu Xingchen became more serious.

Just as Lu Xingchen was bravely fighting the enemy, a greenish-blue giant python rushed towards him, its tail raised high, and it fiercely lashed down at him.

The power of that strike actually sent more than a dozen Fifth-rank Demonic Beasts in front of Lu Xingchen flying.

Lu Xingchen's heart tightened, and he quickly activated the shadow sword's displacement skill, teleporting ten meters back, avoiding this fatal blow.

He looked at the top of the green python's head: Sixth-rank One-Star!

It was actually a Sixth-rank Demonic Beast!

With one strike unsuccessful, the greenish-blue giant python let out a long cry and lashed its tail at Yun Li.

Although he knew Yun Li definitely had a protective Spiritual Artifact, Lu Xingchen didn't want to be negligent and still used the shadow sword's displacement skill to teleport in front of Yun Li, taking out his cold shadow shield.

At the same time, the "Vajra Barrier" was activated, and a quarter of his blood Qi instantly disappeared, in exchange for powerful defense.

Golden light flickered on the cold shadow shield, and the giant python's tail struck the cold shadow shield.

Lu Xingchen was shaken back three steps but suffered no damage.

Yun Li was not idle either. When the giant python first attacked Lu Xingchen, she used the Twisted String Arrow Archery Skill and the Heavenly Pivot Art, attaching a Martial Skill to her feathered arrow.

The greenish-blue giant python was also forced back.

While it was in a state of paralysis, Yun Li's feathered arrow arrived.

The blue-purple feathered arrow easily broke through its defense, piercing its body.

The greenish-blue giant python let out a mournful cry, its snake body collapsing to the ground.

But Yun Li's attack did not end.

The Heavenly Pivot Art was triggered, and a blue-purple lightning bolt exploded within its body, turning the greenish-blue giant python into a shower of blood chunks.

Seeing this bloody and cruel scene, Lu Xingchen's mouth slightly opened, and a chill ran through his heart.

Killing a Sixth-rank Demonic Beast with one arrow, Yun Li, you're amazing!

Lu Xingchen was quick-witted, finding the giant python's demon core among the scattered blood chunks and putting it into his Storage Ring.

This item was a treasure and couldn't be easily overlooked.

After that, the four encountered no further major trouble and easily reached the peak.

At the peak, there was a stone gate, and within a hundred-meter radius of the stone gate, not a single Yao Beast lingered.

The forces from the other three factions were already waiting there.

Walking within a hundred meters of the stone gate, Lu Xingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yun Li, "Miss Yun Li, you are too fierce! Killing a Sixth-rank Demonic Beast with one arrow, it's simply terrifying!"

Yun Li chuckled, "Normal operation. So, Lu Xingchen, you still need to keep working hard! If you can't even defeat me, how can you contend for the position of War God?"

Lu Xingchen said with a wry smile, "Forget about the War God position, but I will try my best to catch up to you."

Then, the two turned their attention to the other three factions.

From the Liyun Kingdom, Eldest Princess Yun Yun was an old acquaintance. However, having just turned eighteen, she had reached the Realm of a Seven-Star Martial King, comparable to Lu Xingchen's apparent strength.

But what surprised Lu Xingchen was that the three young men beside her were all Martial Emperor cultivators!

Two One-Star Martial Emperors and one Two-Star Martial Emperor.

Although their Realm was not as high as Yun Li's, they had strength in numbers!

The Yin Yang Sect had brought one Three-Star Martial Emperor and three high-star Martial Kings.

The Dragon Seeking Gate's Martial Emperor strength was even greater, reaching Four-Star.

Needless to say, the Martial Emperor powerhouses present were all top Geniuses of their respective factions, with status comparable to Yun Li's.

However, Lu Xingchen had absolute confidence in Yun Li.

With her strength of killing a Sixth-rank Demonic Beast with one arrow, she would definitely awe these people!
