novelFighting the Black Serpent Again
| ← Ch.074 | Ch.076 → |
"Awoo!"
"Roar! Roar!"
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."
In the four corners of Twin Dragon Mount, four Extraordinary creatures had fully condensed and taken form.
Instantly, apart from the Black Serpent, the rest rushed towards the fort.
This was because they had only taken form through the power of grudges and power of providence. They could only last for a while before disappearing.
During this period, they naturally wanted to seek revenge!
"Roar!"
Among them, the Mandrill in the south was the fastest. It roared as it broke through the outer fence of the fort and was about to enter to engage in a massacre.
Boom!
However, just as it rushed into Twin Dragon Mount, it was instantly sent flying by a fifty-kilogram Frost Metal Meditation Staff.
"Vile creature, how dare you barge into my Twin Dragon Mount and wreak havoc again! Perfect. I'll kill you again as an offering to Brother Ducky's soul in heaven."
Lu Zhishen was taller than before, not much shorter than the two-meter-tall Mandrill.
This was because after three days of cultivation, his level had already reached Extraordinary Rank-3 this morning.
To these top heroes, their understanding of their cultivation techniques had already reached the level of Greater Mastery or even perfection. The difficulty of advancing was not high. They just lacked the experience to accumulate extraordinary power!
Even Ninth Uncle, who had appeared at the northern gate to fight the Yellow Jade Scorpion, had also advanced to Extraordinary Rank-2 because he had fused the power of the offering and killed the Souls.
However, the person standing outside the village entrance was not himself, but Mister Bug.
"That, Ninth Uncle? Are you sure I can deal with this Scorpion Spirit?"
Mister Bug's face was slightly pale.
On his bare upper body's Jaipanese tattoo was a picture of a child with two hair buns and a pair of flaming wheels at his feet.
As for Mister Bug, he was only wearing a red bellyband—a flimsy cloth that covered his private parts. His skin was covered in runes, and he held a spear in his hand. He stood trembling on the Yellow Jade Scorpion's path of carnage.
"Don't worry. After three days of preparations, the power of the Summoning Talisman has completely fused into you. At least, it can temporarily support your battle with this demon. With Chu Yin and me behind, even if you can't defeat it, we won't let it kill you!"
Ninth Uncle stood behind the altar with an encouraging look.
As for Chu Yin, she was wearing linen clothes and holding a pipa as she sat beside Ninth Uncle. She looked at the Yellow Jade Scorpion that was charging at Mister Bug with a curious expression.
"Awoo!"
As for the final side, in the direction of the Alpha Wolf's attack, a ten-man "battle formation" formed by eight elite soldiers, as well as Qin Yueyu and Li Qing walked out of the fort.
With Li Qing, who had already reached the Rank-7 Elite stage, he spearheaded the fight with the Hog King's Ivory Edge. Qin Yueyu, who had broken through to the Extraordinary stage, held a rune bow in the middle.
In the Land of Inheritance, advancing to the Extraordinary stage did not necessarily mean that one had to reach the Extraordinary Rank-9.
It was because one could enter this level as long as they comprehended extraordinary power.
The reason why Qin Yueyu could reach the Extraordinary stage was because she had spent Honor points to learn a Daoist Qi Refinement Conduit Art from Ninth Uncle over the past three days. Furthermore, she had attained basic mastery.
...
As for the only Commander-level creature, the Black Serpent, Ji Ye naturally dealt with it personally.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Since the instruction in his head was to resolve it as soon as possible, Ji Ye naturally did not waste any time. He pulled the trigger with the Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow in his hand and shot two bolts consecutively towards the two vital spots of the Black Serpent coiled over the fort's water source!
"Hiss..."
However, the Black Serpent that had been dealt with by this move was clearly on guard. When the bolt flew out, more than ten tonnes of water from the water source rose into the sky and produced a wall between it and Ji Ye.
Thud! Thud!
Although the Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow could easily crush solid matter, its power was comparable to a large-caliber bullet.
However, even a truly large-caliber bullet's damage was rapidly reduced to zero after entering the water. The two Bronze bolts stopped several feet away from the Black Serpent!
Hmm, the strength of this Black Serpent... Can the strength of a trial creature be adjusted according to the challenger?
Ji Ye raised an eyebrow from the shrine.
The strength of this Black Serpent was clearly stronger than before. This was because theoretically, it was difficult to instantly control such a massive amount of water!
It was obvious that the creatures produced by the advancement test could adjust their strength according to the challenger, but there was probably a lower limit.
It would definitely not be the case that by sending a child to battle, the Black Serpent's strength would drop to the Ordinary level.
Apart from that, there should be a price to pay for its increased strength.
After all, the total amount of power of providence that formed it was limited. The more strength it could unleash, the shorter the theoretical time it could exist.
"In that case, we have to end the battle quickly! You want to seek revenge? Then, let's have a real head-on battle."
After realizing this, Ji Ye threw away the Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow in his left hand and switched to holding the Black Serpent Sword with both hands. He jumped down from the twenty-feet-tall shrine and took the initiative to attack the Black Serpent!
Back when he was not strong enough, the only choice he had was to kill this Extraordinary Rank-1 Black Serpent from a distance.
However, against the present him, the Black Serpent needed to undergo "enhancement". Why should he fear a head-on battle with it?
"Hiss!"
Faced with Ji Ye, who was charging at him with the Black Serpent Sword created by its own tooth, the Black Serpent was clearly burning with anger. It opened its mouth and the water in front of it instantly turned into a "water dragon" that rushed towards Ji Ye!
Hum!
Faced with the incoming "water dragon" that had an astonishing impact, the Black Serpent Sword in Ji Ye's hand slashed to his side the moment it made contact with the water. Instantly, the water dragon that had an astonishing impact was directly led to an empty spot!
It couldn't be helped. Even though the Black Serpent's strength had increased greatly, due to his perfect performance back then, this Black Serpent Sword had reached Extraordinary Rank-3.
Perhaps it was impossible to make the "water dragon" reverse its attack at the Black Serpent, but it was naturally not a problem to simply guide it in a different direction!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."
The extraordinary power that came from its body was used to neutralize its attack. This made the hatred in the Black Serpent's eyes intensify. It exerted more effort to drive the water in the water source behind it to fuse into the water dragon and suppress Ji Ye, who was charging at it.
It was obvious that it knew that as an equipment, the extraordinary power stored in the Black Serpent Sword had a limit. Once it was expended, Ji Ye could no longer block its attacks.
In fact, it was indeed so.
By the time the Black Serpent used up all the water in the water source, Ji Ye, who was about 30 feet away, had completely lost the ability to control the water flow with the Black Serpent Sword.
Hum!
This time, the Black Serpent opened its bloody mouth and spat all the black venom into the remaining water with its two venomous fangs. On the heels of that, it directly commandeered the venom to sweep towards Ji Ye in a blanketing fashion.
The trees and even the ground were beginning to corrode and smoke, just like the last attack from before.
However, Ji Ye's situation was different from the previous time. This was because he was on flat ground and had no place to dodge the venom.
