Chapter 112: Duo Dragons Execute a Snake (1/2)

Clink!

The sharp sound of a physical collision rang out and a great counterforce rippled from the tip of the poison fang.

Pain exploded from Lu Yun’s hand as the tremendous impact numbed his arms. The enormous snake head and its single horn were like a mountain of dark iron. His ninth-rank sword couldn’t shake it at all.

“Retreat!” he called out when the snake’s crimson eyes loomed into view again. A flash of blue radiance marked his disappearance. He was using a Xuanxi-crafted short-distance teleportation talisman, which allowed him to move anywhere within ninety meters.

It was most effective when his opponents didn’t expect it. However, if he used the trick one too many times, it would quickly be seen through, and thus nullified.

Powerful cultivators could easily cover a hundred yard radius with their consciousness and detect minute changes within that range. Although the talisman allowed for quick teleportation, an immortal’s sword could move just as quickly. If they sensed the changes in the air first, the tip of their swords would await Lu Yun after his movement concluded.

The rimesnake king, however, was trapped within the ceiling to protect the giant starstone and half of its enormous body was buried in the rock over their heads. Even if it could see through the teleportation talisman, it still wouldn’t be able to catch the human.

As soon as it swiveled its head around, Lu Yun teleported away, preventing it from getting a good look.

SsSSssss!!

The snake summoned the smaller rimesnakes and sent them swarming in from all directions, covering the space around it in the span of a breath.

Lu Yun used a dozen few talismans in quick succession, flickering in and out of existence with an explosion of seventeen sword flares every time he reappeared, creating an endless rain of snake blood.

Nevertheless, there were too many of them.

“Nineteen Cerulean Sword Dragons!” Lu Yun snapped out as he came to a halt in midair.

A nineteen-yard-long violet dragon shadow took shape and coiled around his body. Sword energy morphed into violet scales that attached themselves to the dragon; it was like Lu Yun had shapeshifted into a violet dragon himself, rearing and brandishing its claws.

A complete Nineteen Cerulean Sword Dragon! The manifestation of all nineteen swords resulted in an actual dragon made of sword energy.

The sword art that Feinie had accidentally acquired was incomplete, containing only the first seventeen swords. Coincidentally, the complete art could be found in Aoxue’s memory.

The enormous dragon twisted nineteen times, each movement a slash from a grand sword. Terrifying brilliance exploded in the upper reaches of the chamber, sweeping where the Big Dipper Formation couldn’t reach and scything through countless rimesnakes.

Lu Yun moved again and brought down his sword in a straightforward attack on the snake king.

Grrrawrrrrr!!

Eyes bloodshot, the snake’s hiss built up into a furious growl. The snake head struggled mightily, shaking the entire chamber and sending down an avalanche of dust and rubble from overhead. It seemed that it was about to burrow its enormous body out of the ceiling.

Hum.

Crimson light flashed through the air as an even bigger cerulean dragon barreled out of the void to combine with Lu Yun’s. The two dragons struck simultaneously!

They bit viciously into the snake’s head like two matchless swords merging as one.

Clink!

A metallic collision rang out again as an earth-shattering rumble ripped throughout the chamber. The snake king shrieked in absolutely ghastly pain, and translucent, pungent blood dripped from its head like venom. The Big Dipper Formation shook below them while killing energy formed by rays of starlight ran amok through the arrangement.

…...

Feinie had set up thirty-six defensive formations with the Formation Orb to protect herself and Qing Han, but the Big Dipper Formation had been drawing upon the stars for years, nurturing a tremendous well of killing energy.

The energy tore through the defensive formations like paper.

She hastily assumed a cross-legged position and formed several hand seals, focusing the entirety of her attention on the Formation Orb and projecting even more defensive formations.

……

Back in the air, Lu Yun and Aoxue’s combined attacks with the duo dragons pierced through the snake’s head in flashes of crimson and violet.

Bam!

After a final death cry, the rimesnake’s enormous head drooped weakly, lifeforce dissipating at great speed. In no time at all, it had thoroughly departed this world.

Noting Lu Yun’s pale face, Aoxue was about to help him back into the Big Dipper Formation.
