Chapter 126: Chapter 0126: Sending You a Giant Snake
“Mysterious Water Moth Lotus!”
Demon Clown and the battle armor man both voiced their surprise, their gazes filled with burning desire, steadfastly fixating on the ink-colored lotus flower as big as a cattail leaf fan.
Upon hearing this.
Another man and woman from the Bone Demon Palace both exclaimed, their expressions excited.
“Is it really the ‘Mysterious Water Moth Lotus’? This sinister treasure of legend has all but vanished from the outside world…”
The female disciple’s face flushed with excitement.
Smack!
Demon Clown glared fiercely and delivered her a loud slap, leaving behind a red and blue handprint.
“Shut up! Do you want to attract even more people over here?”
The battle armor man grunted lowly.
“Brother Pang, I was wrong, it’s just that the yin and water characteristics contained by this lotus fit my cultivation technique too nicely…”
The female disciple shivered and revealed a sycophantic smile.
“It fits you?”
Another male disciple from the Bone Demon Palace couldn’t help but snicker, “This lotus benefits the majority of sinister cultivation techniques immensely, capable of greatly increasing cultivation power.”
“Everyone shut up.”
Demon Clown snapped coldly, shifting his gaze from the Mysterious Water Moth Lotus and looking coldly at the Black-Scaled Giant Crocodile lying beside it.
“Brother Pang, with this crocodile guarding the Mysterious Water Moth Lotus, a tough battle is inevitable if we wish to snatch the lotus.”
The battle armor man murmured softly.
“Prepare to strike.”
Pang Tiancheng’s ugly face wore a fierce coldness.
Just then.
He took out a dark, dull Wolf Fang Club, dragging its dark and ominous sharp aura, leading the four of them in an attack on the Black-Scaled Giant Crocodile.
Whoosh!
The Black-Scaled Ferocious Crocodile’s eyes shone viciously, transforming into a black afterimage, mud splashing in all directions as it pounced towards the group of four including Demon Clown.
Pop! Pop!
Demon Clown and the battle armor man, using exquisite movement techniques, stepped on the swamp mud and swept past the Black-Scaled Giant Crocodile, the Wolf Fang Club and a sharp knife striking swiftly in passing.
Hiss!
Among these, the battle armor man’s sharp knife merely left a small blood trail on the surface of the Black-Scaled Giant Crocodile.
Boom thud!
Demon Clown’s Wolf Fang Club, however, was significantly heavy and actually managed to smash a small crack in the crocodile’s scaly armor, its power astonishing.
As the main force, the other male and female disciples were only there to restrain.
The attacks from the male and female landed on the Black-Scaled Giant Crocodile, at most leaving only shallow marks, unable to break through the skin.
“You two! Attack where I’ve wounded it.”
Demon Clown grunted lowly.
The four from the Bone Demon Palace were all veterans of bloody battles, their cooperation was extremely tacit.
At the same moment.
On the edge of the swamp, Chen Yu stood within the mire, his eyes revealing surprise.
This Black-Scaled Giant Crocodile was far stronger than the Blood Python he had encountered in the cave, especially in terms of defense, nearly twice as strong.
As for the Mysterious Water Moth Lotus, Chen Yu had also heard of it.
The lotus was a rare yin and water elemental treasure, containing the mysterious power of ghostly water, greatly beneficial to most sinister cultivation techniques, capable of significantly boosting one’s cultivation power.
Of course, the lotus was not limited to those who practiced sinister paths.
As long as it wasn’t an extremely yang cultivation technique, most cultivators consuming this lotus could enhance their cultivation power and strength.
Chen Yu’s “Cloud Evil Fist” was a technique inclined towards the yin and evil, naturally making the lotus very fitting for him.
For a while.
Chen Yu’s heart raced: If he could obtain this lotus, not only would his cultivation increase, but the power of the “Cloud Evil Skill” could also greatly rise, possibly aiding him in the future to cultivate Cloud Evil True Qi.
“However, snatching the food from the tiger’s mouth, from these four, is too difficult.”
Chen Yu then focused back on the battle.
In terms of combat, Demon Clown was incredibly strong.
Not to mention his cultivation at the Peak of Refining, he was also practicing the Bone Demon Palace’s sect-trademark technique, and the Wolf Fang Club in his hand was a heavy-grade treasure, close to a medium-grade treasure in quality.
And his movement technique was not much different from the Infinite Thief, extremely crafty in battle.
Boom boom! Pu chi!
Throughout the process, Demon Clown and the battle armor man, as a team, essentially overpowered the Black-Scaled Ferocious Crocodile.
The battle armor man, clad in a full-body treasure armor, had a solid fighting style. Every movement of his sharp knife was precise—whenever it struck, it was aimed at some wound or vital spot.
After a short time.
The Black-Scaled Ferocious Crocodile was riddled with wounds, overpowered and helpless against the four assailants, its injuries worsening, movements becoming sluggish.
The four from Bone Demon Palace smiled, more relaxed in their approach to the fight.
Chen Yu silently sighed.
If it were a scenario where both sides suffered or one side won but with serious injuries, he might have a chance.
However.
From start to finish, Demon Clown and his group suppressed the Black-Scaled Ferocious Crocodile, none of them sustaining any serious injuries, the subsequent battle entirely predictable.
“Who else from the Yunyue Sect could be nearby?”
The token worn closely by Chen Yu occasionally responded.
Suddenly.
He thought of something, taking out the Iron Moon Strange Insect from the Light Silver Crystal Space and sending it to scout the situation.
…
On another part of the swamp, atop a hill.
Behind a little mound, a young man and young woman were hiding.
The young man was dressed in white, elegant and graceful, holding a folding fan made of light silver metal.
The young woman, with a delicate and pretty figure, was naturally beautiful, a face blooming like a peony after the rain.
It was none other than Mu Xueqing.
The elegantly graceful young man was also someone Chen Yu knew—Nangong Li.
“Senior Brother Nangong, are we just going to let the people from Bone Demon Palace succeed and take the ‘Mysterious Water Moth Lotus’?”
Mu Xueqing clenched her teeth slightly, her face showing unwillingness.
Speaking of which.
The Mysterious Water Moth Lotus was extremely compatible with her physique and cultivation technique.
Although Mu Xueqing was only a lower grade spiritual body with combined cold water attributes, the cultivation technique she practiced also leaned towards this type.
“I’d like to. But these four people are not something we can handle. If we fall into Demon Clown’s hands…”
Nangong Li lamented with a shake of his head.
“Someone from the Yunyue Sect should also be nearby—according to the token’s response, they should be within a hundred yards.”
Mu Xueqing then looked towards the token in her hand.
“Maybe they were killed by Demon Clown and his people before we arrived. Look at the edge of the swamp; there are remnants of blood and flesh.”
Nangong Li was not optimistic.
The two of them arrived in this vicinity by following the signal of the token, only to find Demon Clown and his group battling the Black-Scaled Ferocious Crocodile.
“Ah! What is that!”
Mu Xueqing suddenly cried out in alarm.
She saw a basin-sized toad, its body moist and covered with yellow-green bumps, approaching her leg.
Mu Xueqing, who was fond of cleanliness and carried herself with aloof dignity, was now faced with a scene that would horrify most men to the extreme.
“Mud Swamp Toad! Be careful of its poison!”
Nangong Li took one look and was greatly startled, swiftly pulling Mu Xueqing back.
However,
The basin-sized toad had already sprayed out a dark green liquid, accompanied by a pale green mist.
Mu Xueqing grunted, a small droplet of the dark green liquid stained her slender, fair leg, immediately corroding it, with the surrounding skin turning purplish-red and swelling.
“Beast!”
Nangong Li was momentarily choked by the pale green mist and, in his alarm and anger, swung his folding fan, unleashing a silver fan-shaped gust that enveloped the Mud Swamp Toad.
Boom!
The Mud Swamp Toad was quick to react, leaping to the side and only sustaining part of the attack; a bloody cut appeared on its bumpy skin, but it was not critically wounded.
The two of them were shocked, fearing that the toad’s strength was above the Mid-stage of Refining.
“Who is there!”
The four fighting Demon Clown exclaimed in shock.
At this moment,
The four had severely wounded the Black-Scaled Giant Crocodile, and it would only take a moment to kill it.
“It’s disciples from Yunyue Sect, and that woman seems to be Mu Xueqing, one of the top beauties of the sect.”
The man in battle armor glanced toward the hillside.
Right now, the male and female from Yunyue Sect were under attack by the Mud Swamp Toad, their presence revealed, not far from here.
“I most enjoy butchering beauties and despise those who reap the rewards from behind.”
A ruthless and cruel light shone in Demon Clown’s distorted eyes.
Swoosh!
With a blur of his figure, Demon Clown disengaged from the battle, closing in on Mu Xueqing and her companion on the hillside at a frightening speed.
“Brother Pang, don’t pursue them to death.”
The man in battle armor showed a hint of helplessness.
He was quite familiar with Pang Tiancheng’s bloodthirsty behavior; his personality was extremely twisted and couldn’t be measured by ordinary standards.
Fortunately,
The Black-Scaled Giant Crocodile had been inflicted with heavy injuries, considerably reducing its mobility. Even without Demon Clown, the three in battle armor could wear it down slowly.
“This is bad!”
Chen Yu, at the edge of the swamp, thought to himself that something was amiss.
The insects he had sent out had also just reached the area and discovered Mu Xueqing and Nangong Li.
What was most unexpected,
Was that Demon Clown, with a wicked and perverted nature, who delighted in the slaughter of beauties, had temporarily put aside the Black-Scaled Giant Crocodile.
What should be done?
In a flash of thought, Chen Yu’s mind raced.
He definitely had to save Mu Xueqing,
With their strength, they had no hope of escaping Demon Clown’s pursuit.
However,
Chen Yu was even further from the hillside than Demon Clown, and he had no advantage over Demon Clown in terms of speed.
A direct rescue seemed unlikely.
“In that case…”
Chen Yu’s gaze shifted towards the three people in battle armor who were closer to him and were still fighting the Black-Scaled Ferocious Crocodile.
Suddenly,
A bold idea took root in his mind.
He took a gamble!
Chen Yu grit his teeth hard.
If successful, he could achieve a double victory. Unless Demon Clown truly ignored the Mysterious Water Moth Lotus, a dark treasure of evil path.
With a leap, whoosh!
Chen Yu, covered in foul-smelling mud, holding onto the previously caught patterned giant snake, leapt out of the swamp.
Sludgy splashing!
With dark cyan boots infusing his True Qi, Chen Yu’s body became lighter, and he accelerated towards the three in battle armor from behind at an astonishing speed.
“Who is there!”
The man in battle armor detected Chen Yu’s presence when he was just twenty zhang away.
The three were battling the Black-Scaled Ferocious Crocodile and were shocked by the sight of a muddy figure holding a two-to-three-zhang-long patterned snake.
“Where did this fellow pop out from?”
The man in battle armor wore an odd expression, unable to make out the muddy person’s features.
But judging by his attire, he seemed to be a disciple of Yunyue Sect.
The three did not panic.
Even if it was a True Disciple of the three sects, it was unlikely to threaten the three of them.
But even if the opponent proved formidable, at worst, the three of them would abandon the Black-Scaled Ferocious Crocodile and concentrate on defense, able to hold out until Demon Clown returned.
“Here’s a big snake for you!”
Chen Yu laughed heartily as he neared them to about ten zhang.
Swish!
He hurled the patterned giant snake in his hand with great force, the two-to-three-zhang-long body slapped onto the other man and woman.
“Ah!”
The woman from Bone Demon Palace screamed, as the freshly freed patterned snake instantly wound around her legs.
This patterned snake, comparable to the Organ Refining Stage in strength, was especially powerful in the swamp.
The Bone Demon Palace woman did not possess Chen Yu’s formidable strength and defense.
“Save me…”
Bone Demon Palace woman let out a pitiful scream as the patterned snake broke her skin, the venom seeped in, and she was swiftly dragged into the swamp.
“Ha ha ha! How do you like this gift?”
Chen Yu himself was also taken by surprise.
This patterned snake had previously ambushed him in the swamp; he had held onto its critical point, causing it to be semi-asphyxiated.
He had intended to use the snake to disrupt the trio’s formation, but never expected the snake to be so effective, dragging one of them into the water.
Having unexpectedly succeeded,
Chen Yu chuckled slyly as he produced a purple-handled, silver-tipped javelin in his hand.
What do you think?
