Chapter 9 - Xiantian Beheads the Snake King

”Humph, evil beast, you dare hurt others!”

From far away, a cold voice floated over as a white silhouette approached at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed. This silhouette's speed was already beyond the limits of mankind. A second ago, it was hundreds of meters away, but in the next, the white silhouette was already in front of everyone.

It was an about thirty years old or so middle-aged man. With a long straight saber hanging on his back, he steadily stood there like a mountain. The Seven-Colored Snake King, on the contrary, appeared to be dreading this middle-aged man very much, it dared not continue to attack others as though he had to confront the middle-aged man with his life.

Everyone realized that the middle-aged man was one fearsome expert for sure. At the very least, he had no fear in facing the Seven-Colored Snake King. A strong sense of grat.i.tude for the middle-aged man blossomed in everyone's heart.

”Many thanks for the senior's rescue. May I ask if Senior needs our help?” A middle-aged Captain among them loudly asked.

”I'm Clear River Sect's Outer Disciple — Li Qing. Although this snake is already not an ordinary wild beast, for me it is just a domestic animal, that's all. You just need to watch from the sideline.” The middle-aged man calmly replied, his tone was full of confidence. How could these mortals know that he was a Xiantian cultivator, and even though this snake had a trace of intelligence, it was still just an Houtian Stage beast? How could they even know that the difference between Houtian and Xiantian stage was like heaven and the earth?

”An expert from the Immortal Sect, we have been rescued!”

”Right, rumor has it that in order to become an Immortal Sect's disciple, you at the very least need to be a Xiantian Stage expert, wouldn't killing this snake, for a Xiantian expert, be a piece of cake?”

”Many thanks to the Clear River Sect's Immortal coming to our rescue. After returning, I'm definitely going to wors.h.i.+p Immortal's gilded statue for day and night to show my grat.i.tude for Immortal's life-saving grace.”

”Ha ha, everyone, you don't need to do this, look how I cut this Seven-Colored Snake King!” Li Qing loudly laughed and said. His purpose for this trip had already been achieved. The sect strived for cultivation by gathering a lot of merits and virtues. Whereas this merits and virtues were precisely the purest thoughts of grat.i.tudes from these ordinary people. The sect would send him to cut devil and demon creatures just for these merits and virtues.

His voice had not even faded away before the Seven-Colored Snake King lashed its tail at Li Qing standing at its front. Li Qing quickly took a leap, dodging the tail's lash and landing behind the Snake King. Li Qing directly fired a punch at the Seven-Colored Snake King's body before the huge Seven-Colored Snake King flew away a couple of meters from the impact.

However, the Seven-Colored Snake King's scales cus.h.i.+oned most of the damage from the punch Apparently, the punch didn't bring much of a damage to the Snake King. The Snake King immediately steadied itself, raised the upper half of its body, opened its mouth and directly charged towards Li Qing; it wanted to bite Li Qing.

Li Qing also dared not let the Seven-Colored Snake King bite him. Although this snake had still not entered the Xiantian Stage, it was just a step away. Its poison happened to be extremely lethal, even if Li Qing was in the Xiantian Stage, he might not resist its poison.

Li Qing immediately sidestepped and dodged the Seven-Colored Snake King's mouth. The Seven-Colored Snake King, after missing Li Qing, once again turned its head towards Li Qing. And as it lunged, it also lashed its tail at Li Qing incessantly. Li Qing too dodged each and every attack continuously.

However, Li Qing once made a mistake and had his chest whipped directly by the Seven-Colored Snake King's tail before being swept away by dozens of meters.

”Filthy swine, you're annoying me!” Li Qing stood up, wiped the blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth and then immediately took out the long straight saber off his back. Suddenly, upon the saber appeared a layer of red aura. Li Qing, without any delay, brandished the saber which quickly cleaved upon the Seven-Colored Snake King's body.

As the red blade aura landed upon the Seven-Colored Snake King's body, it immediately broke its scale, bright red blood slowly flowed out from the wound.

”Hiss hiss...” The resulting excruciating pain made the Seven-Colored Snake King furious. The Snake King opened its giant mouth and spat a ma.s.s of poisonous mist which gradually spread all around.

Li Qing was shocked, he immediately retreated back. He was afraid of getting infected by the poisonous mist.

The Seven-Colored Snake King was gradually enveloped by the slowly spreading poisonous mist. Its snake eyes were completely red, it incessantly flicked its forked tongue.

Li Qing had suppressed the Seven-Colored Snake King, but everyone did not have the time to be happy. Those receded seven-colored snake group around them, as if they had received some kind of order, attacked the caravan.

Everyone took out their weapons and attacked those seven-colored snakes, while at the same time taking some precautions against the venom spat out by these seven-colored snakes.

Watching the Seven-Colored Snake King gradually covered by the poisonous mist, Li Qing frowned. He didn't dare to take the risk, after all, he was here to just gather merits and virtues. If for this he lost his dear life, it was not worth it. However, he also didn't leave, he started killing the surrounding seven-colored snakes.

At this time, Gu Hai, looking at the scene in his front, was as if he was deep in his thought. Suddenly, he loudly shouted, ”Use the wind, the wind can blow the poisonous mist away.”
