68: Chapter 68 What evil intentions could the Green Snake possibly have?
"Someone's coming."
"Silly Snake, hide. Let's give them a big surprise!"
Xu Qing used his tail to push down Silly Snake's high-raised head.
Lin Donglan pretended to be heavily injured, moving slowly through the forest.
She looked exactly like someone who had just killed their pursuer after a life-and-death struggle.
Because she was an iceberg.
There was no need to act; it looked very real.
Unfortunately, she was a Regrettable Iceberg.
"Junior Sister, for colluding with a Yao Beast and murdering your fellow sect members, a hundred deaths would not be enough to atone for your sins!"
This time, the one who came was a white-robed Senior Brother.
He had a full 250 years of Dao Cultivation, with a cultivation level close to Peak Foundation Establishment.
"I'm hitting this Erbaiwu!"
Xu Qing excitedly lunged out.
"How is this possible? You really colluded with a Yao Beast!?"
"..."
There were so many things to complain about that the Green Snake didn't know where to start, so he decided to just whip his tail.
"Lin Donglan, finish this quickly. Let's give him the Full Snake Service!"
"We can't let people look down on our Noble Snake Alliance!"
Xu Qing shouted excitedly at the top of his lungs.
"Fine."
Lin Donglan's hands formed hand seals, snowflakes drifted down, and a cold current swept the surroundings.
"Hmph, a mere Green Snake."
Xu Qing was furious upon hearing this.
Why could no one recognize that he was a noble Resurrection Green Snake!
Although this was a good thing, it was still very annoying.
"You 250-year-Dao Cultivation Erbaiwu."
Xu Qing's tail was flicked away by Erbaiwu.
Ice Spikes condensed around Xu Qing and shot toward Erbaiwu in unison.
"Hmph!"
"Wind, come!"
Whirlwinds wrapped around Erbaiwu, grinding all the Ice Spikes into fragments.
"Burn for me!"
Xu Qing's belly bulged, and Green Flame spewed out.
Erbaiwu pressed his palms together, and streams of water condensed, turning into a Swimming Dragon that met the pillar of fire.
With a "sizzle," white steam exploded in mid-air.
"Toxins are starting to condense around me?"
Erbaiwu frowned slightly, looking at the increasingly thick toxins within the range, and took out a Medicinal Pill to swallow.
His skill bar suddenly changed, showing [Poison Reduction LV4] (23:59:59).
"Damn human Cultivator!"
Xu Qing couldn't help but curse out loud.
This was why he hated human Cultivators the most; every single one of them had a black heart.
They weren't pure and cute like Yao Beasts, who could be killed easily.
"green flood dragon ring, go!"
Xu Qing flicked his tail, and the green flood dragon ring spun against the strong wind, flying toward Erbaiwu to bind him.
Erbaiwu brushed his hand over his Storage Pouch and took out several exquisite Talismans.
"Go!"
He threw the Talismans into the air and formed hand seals.
The runes on the Talismans twisted and turned into a Golden Figure the same size as Erbaiwu.
The Golden Figure rushed toward the green flood dragon ring and punched it.
Golden and green light flared brilliantly; for a moment, neither side could overcome the other.
"Oh no, this guy is tough."
The heaven and earth spiritual seed at Xu Qing's seven-inch mark glowed with emerald light, and branches grew out, turning into a pair of claws.
"Vegetation of heaven and earth, heed my call!"
The claws continuously formed hand seals, and the plants within a few miles rose from the ground, gathering toward Xu Qing.
"A wood-attribute Green Snake?"
Erbaiwu frowned and slapped his head; his forehead split open, revealing an ice-blue vertical pupil.
The moment the vertical pupil appeared, the temperature between heaven and earth seemed to drop by several degrees.
It was as if winter had arrived early.
"Ice Dragon, manifest!"
Erbaiwu formed hand seals, and all the water around him gathered, quickly freezing into ice.
It finally turned into a dozens-of-meters-long Ice Dragon, wrapped in wind currents, swimming high in the sky and looking down at Xu Qing.
Erbaiwu stood on top of the Ice Dragon's head, all three eyes staring at Xu Qing simultaneously.
"As if This Snake doesn't have one!"
Xu Qing activated his heaven and earth spiritual root, condensing a set of wood armor on his body, and the gathered plants flew into the wood armor one by one.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
In an instant, a Giant Wood Snake no smaller than the Ice Dragon raised its head and let out a piercing hiss at the Swimming Dragon above.
"Hmph, all show and no substance."
Erbaiwu drove the Ice Dragon downward.
"Hmph, rotten to the core."
Xu Qing's Aura was not weak at all as he met the Ice Dragon, with Spider Legs extending from deep within his back.
Meanwhile, although Lin Donglan remained calm on the surface, looking like an iceberg that would never melt.
Her heart was already filled with complaints.
"Why is it that as the fight goes on, there's nothing for this Genius Beautiful Girl to do!"
She could only slack off on the side.
Silly Snake continued to release toxins, increasing the concentration.
Although Erbaiwu had gained Poison Reduction LV4, Silly Snake had Snake Venom LV5.
As long as enough time passed to accumulate the toxin concentration, it would still have an effect.
The Ice Dragon opened its mouth.
A cold current carrying crushed ice sprayed out like a pillar, pouring down onto the Giant Wood Snake.
The Giant Wood Snake opened its mouth, and a whirlwind formed of Wind Blades carrying Green Flame rushed toward the ice stream.
One above and one below, one from the sky and one from the ground, they collided.
Explosions rang out one after another, and thick steam scattered everywhere.
The Spider Legs condensed on Xu Qing's back moved in unison.
He flickered through the thick fog, and then all the Spider Legs exerted force, launching him into the sky.
His claws formed seals, turning into vines that surged toward Erbaiwu.
"Freeze!"
The vertical pupil on Erbaiwu's forehead glowed with blue light.
The vines Xu Qing extended were all frozen in mid-air, shattering into pieces.
"So strong!"
Xu Qing was a bit covetous of that big eyeball.
All of Erbaiwu's Ice Magic came from the effect of that big eyeball.
Erbaiwu's own skill bar didn't have the Ice Magic skill.
Nor did he have any Pupil Technique skills.
This meant that the big eyeball was likely a Spiritual Artifact or Magic Treasure that needed to be fused with the body.
"I have to gouge it out."
"Once I gouge it out, I can play with this kid however I want."
Xu Qing formed hand seals with his claws, and a longsword flew out from his left pupil.
"Sword Transformation into Myriad!"
Nearly a hundred sword lights turned into a river, surging toward Erbaiwu.
"You snake, how can you use a sword!"
Erbaiwu was slightly surprised.
"Your Snake Grandpa is good with swords, and I love using them!"
Xu Qing controlled the sword lights to swarm the Ice Dragon from all directions.
Erbaiwu didn't have the Snake Language skill, but the two still cursed at each other back and forth while fighting.
It proved that trading insults could overcome the barrier of language.
Relying on the sword lights, Xu Qing barely managed to delay Erbaiwu, but the sword lights were also collapsing one by one.
Without hesitation, Xu Qing took out a snowy-white bead—the Illusion Pearl he had obtained earlier.
"Let's see how powerful you are."
Xu Qing formed seals with his claws and deployed the Illusion Pearl; his body distorted, turning into Nine Heavens massive Giant Wood Snakes that scattered around and surrounded Erbaiwu.
"Illusion!"
Seeing things go south, Erbaiwu quickly channeled his magic power, wanting to See Through the illusion.
However, it was useless; all the Giant Wood Snakes were identical to the original, and no difference could be seen.
"Your sister, you Green Snake!"
"With so many Magic Treasures, you call yourself a snake!"
Erbaiwu cursed loudly.
He had never seen such a Yao Beast in his life.
