78: Chapter 78 Green Snake's Sword Breaks Evil

"Sooner or later, I'll have to make you call me Grandpa Green Snake."

In the mind of Xu Qing, who had flown far away, the echoes of "Green Snake Goddess" still lingered.

Because they were all believers, these prayer words were heard with exceptional clarity.

Golden light of auspiciousness still floated upon Xu Qing's body.

It looked exactly like an Auspicious Beast that was righteous for a snake.

The light of auspiciousness that came with the Auspicious Beast skill could reduce attacks to a certain extent, equivalent to a layer of golden light armor.

Opposite to the Auspicious Beast skill, there was also the [Vicious Beast] skill.

The Vicious Beast skill also came with blood light, which could also reduce attacks to a certain extent.

But Xu Qing would certainly not use it.

He was a simple and kind green snake, and that color tone did not suit him at all.

Moreover, when out and about, he would very likely be beaten to death by people.

Tossing and turning incessantly amidst the clouds and mist, Xu Qing followed the West River upstream.

Xu Qing could faintly feel the connection between himself and the West River.

The water vapor drifting out from the West River seemed to be faintly pushing him in the direction he was flying.

However, this feeling grew weaker the further he got from the River God Temple.

Until he was completely far away from his River God Temple, the sense of connection vanished entirely.

"Perhaps the reason those people named me Green Snake, instead of West River, is also because of this."

Although some people also named him West River Maiden, more people still called him Green Snake Goddess.

This might be the influence of heaven and earth in the dark.

This kind of influence was particularly obvious to Mortals, so they would not bestow the name West River upon him.

Even if they thought he was in charge of the West River, when they subconsciously addressed him, they still would not use the name West River.

His status was not yet high enough.

Although the name West River was simple, it was the largest river in the entire West Mountain County.

In the current Gaoyuan Kingdom, apart from a few large rivers, the West River was the largest.

"Perhaps once all the evil spirits in the West River are cleared, and the Power Of Faith spreads throughout the entire West River..."

"...I will be able to be bestowed with the name West River."

Xu Qing thought to himself.

If he became the true god of the entire West River, he would receive a tremendous boost while in the West River.

At the very least, even if he couldn't win a fight, he would be able to escape while in the West River.

"There is evil energy."

Xu Qing withdrew his wandering thoughts, his pair of snake eyes piercing through the clouds and mist to look at the West River below.

The entire stretch of the West River was floating with a layer of black mist, which was precisely thick evil energy.

Mortals might not be able to see it, but Cultivators and Yao Beasts, possessing magic power and Demonic Power, would naturally be able to see it.

"Such thick evil energy."

"This small section of the West River has been corrupted."

It was not like the aura he had felt before at the River God Temple along with the West River.

Facing this evil energy directly, only then could Xu Qing feel the thickness of the evil energy.

Perhaps it would be a tough battle.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have left Xu Linger and the others to guard the home."

Xu Linger and the others naturally had other tasks distributed by Xu Qing.

That was to guard the section of the West River managed by the River God Temple, preventing evil spirits from invading again and attacking fishermen.

Xu Linger and the others had also done good deeds, to the extent that they had also obtained the [Righteous Qi lv1] skill.

It was somewhat similar to a human version of Auspicious Beast lv1.

"It's just the right time to test the ice evil jade ruyi scepter."

Xu Qing controlled the heaven and earth spiritual seed in his chest, condensing a pair of claws.

Then, he took out an jade ruyi scepter with flowing spiritual light from his eyes and held it in his left claw.

Flipping his right claw, he took out a green sword from his eyes.

It was the green tail white hair sword.

"Not good, I don't have enough claws, I still need to cast incantations."

Xu Qing thought for a moment, the heaven and earth spiritual seed shone with green light, and he condensed another pair of claws under his abdomen.

"Now it's just enough."

Xu Qing nodded his snake head in satisfaction.

The four claws each performed their own duties, and with Xu Qing's Divine Sense lv4, he could easily control each claw.

"Evil spirits, help me cultivate!"

Xu Qing formed incantations with two claws, and the green tail white hair sword flew out, trembling slightly and splitting into nearly a hundred sword lights.

Pressing down with his claws, all the sword lights pressed into the West River below him.

The black mist seemed to have been provoked, bubbling incessantly like boiling water.

Three twisted black figures flew out from the black mist, among which two were actually beast-shaped evil spirits at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and the aura of one humanoid evil spirit barely reached Peak Foundation Establishment.

In the river, one by one, weak evil spirits also poked their bodies out.

Adding all the evil spirits together, there were actually fifty of them.

Terrifying black mist surged up, and for a moment, it actually held off all the falling sword lights.

"These evil spirits, who knows how many people they have swallowed!"

Xu Qing just sighed; he wasn't really angry or sad, after all, he was just a snake.

"Ruyi, Ruyi, follow my heart's desire!"

Xu Qing held the ruyi scepter in one claw and formed the White Flood Dragon hand seal with two claws.

Then, he threw the ruyi scepter in front of him; the ruyi scepter slid out of his hand and spun in the air.

The larger end pointed diagonally at the West River, and pure white flowing light poured down from the ruyi scepter.

The white light carried a hint of green, enveloping the streaks of green sword shadows.

The green sword shadows and sword auras were coated with a layer of white light, and suddenly they became invincible, breaking through the black light with a gentle struggle, cutting it into pieces.

"This exorcism skill is so useful!"

Xu Qing became even more satisfied with the ice evil ruyi scepter.

The ice evil ruyi scepter officially climbed to second place on Xu Qing's list of favorites, while the green tail white hair sword cried to death.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The evil spirits in the river let out sharp roars.

Amidst the roars, the entire stretch of the West River water began to boil.

The river water, dyed black by the black mist, resembled tentacles, twisting and surging towards Xu Qing.

Xu Qing hurriedly cleared his thoughts and activated the jade ruyi scepter again.

He didn't forget to say that "incantation" which was actually useless.

"Ruyi, Ruyi, follow my heart's desire!"

The ice evil ruyi scepter flipped over, and the smaller end pointed diagonally at the surging black water.

Ice energy surged out from the ice evil ruyi scepter like a pillar.

Xu Qing also flicked his tail, and countless Wind Blades condensed on his tail, turning into a tornado and being thrown out.

The tornado swept up all the water and Qi, and the ice energy poured down along the tornado.

The black water was all swept up and frozen in mid-air, which was very spectacular.

Even people in the distance could see a green snake, enveloped in golden light and looking very auspicious, fighting against evil spirits.

"Shatter!"

Hundreds of sword lights stirred, spreading across the entire tornado of ice, cutting it into countless pieces of broken ice.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The evil spirits had no intelligence, so naturally they didn't know when to retreat, roaring as they prepared to rush towards Xu Qing again.

Xu Qing was not afraid at all.

With the ice evil ruyi scepter, he was very confident.

He formed the White Flood Dragon Sword Art with two claws and the White Flood Dragon Treasure Controlling Art with the other two claws.

Demonic Power continuously surged towards the two pairs of claws.

The green tail white hair sword trembled incessantly, faintly emitting the roar of a Flood Dragon.

The jade ruyi scepter lay flat in the air, with spiritual light shining from both ends.

The broken ice from the tornado turned into streaks of ice swords, gathering behind the green tail white hair sword, presenting the momentum of a Flood Dragon.

White flowing light flowed out from the jade ruyi scepter, wrapping around the ice Flood Dragon of swords.

"Go!"

Xu Qing's four claws kept the Demonic Power flowing as he pushed them forward together.

"Roar!!"

The green tail white hair sword, leading the ice Flood Dragon of swords, shone brightly with white and green light, emitting a sky-shaking Flood Dragon roar.

Not far from the West River, people in several villages heard the sound, looked up at the sky, and only saw...

...a green snake, black mist, evil spirits dancing wildly, a Flood Dragon roaring madly, and one sword breaking the evil.

Then the black mist dissipated, and the West River was clear and vast.
