Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 109: Chapter 108 Township Stone Tablet

“Hmph, paltry trick!” Zhuo Feifan and the others saw through Qin Feng’s little ruse at a glance, and they felt disdain in their hearts.

That golden snake, although somewhat strange, only seemed to possess the cultivation of the Qi Refining Realm. They were Sword Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Merely a trifling Qi Refining Realm Spiritual Snake was no match for them.

“Let me do it.”

Senior Brother Liu’s mouth curved into a cold smirk as he stepped forward. He raised his hand and slashed with his sword, not only sending the Demon Slaying Saber flying but also cutting the Ruyi Golden Snake that was entwined around the saber.

In his mind, this single strike should have been enough to slice the small snake in two. Moreover, with the sharpness of his Sword Qi, once it penetrated the snake’s body, it would surely extinguish all its vitality.

However, he was quickly stunned.

...

Because his sword strike failed to kill the foot-long strange golden snake. It didn’t even manage to cleave any of its scales, merely sending the golden snake flying about ten feet away.

“What kind of Snake Demon is this? Why is its body so hard?”

He was somewhat taken aback.

“Sss…”

The Ruyi Golden Snake, suddenly attacked, let out a low hiss, immediately abandoning the Demon Slaying Saber and leaped towards Senior Brother Liu.

Moreover, it found the cultivator’s Flying Sword in front of it even more tantalizing than the saber just now.

Thus, it directly lunged onto Senior Brother Liu’s Flying Sword, tightly wrapping its wings around it and biting down.

With a crack, two rows of fine teeth marks were left on the sword.

This was a middle-grade Spiritual Artifact level Flying Sword, certainly not something that could be matched by Qin Feng’s Demon Slaying Saber, and therefore it wasn’t damaged by a single bite.

Even so, this still left Senior Brother Liu both shocked and furious.

“How dare you!”

He bellowed in rage.

This was his Lifebound Flying Sword, and now, it had been scarred by the golden snake. How could his heart not ache?

He quickly circulated his True Yuan, and streaks of Sword Light flashed on the blade, shaking off the Ruyi Golden Snake from the Flying Sword.

Then, he gathered his might to execute his strongest Sword Technique. With a direct downward slice, a loud bang sent the Ruyi Golden Snake flying over a dozen yards, striking it against a gigantic skeleton before falling to the ground with a clatter.

Senior Brother Liu stood with one hand behind his back and snorted coldly, “A mere Snake Demon dares to damage my Flying Sword. Truly seeking death.”

However, before he could finish speaking, the Ruyi Golden Snake that had fallen to the ground suddenly shook its tiny head. Then those round eyes suddenly emitted a fierce glow, and with a hissing sound, its wings fluttered, and it shot towards him like lightning.

“It’s not dead yet?”

Senior Brother Liu was alarmed and quickly controlled his Flying Sword to strike at the Ruyi Golden Snake.

However, the Ruyi Golden Snake was naturally swift, not only darting back and forth like lightning but also being more agile than his straightforward sword strikes.

Coupled with its hard scales, it didn’t fear the Sword Qi from Senior Brother Liu’s Flying Sword at all. It twisted its body mid-flight to avoid the sword strike closely, then with a flap of its wings, it was instantly in front of Senior Brother Liu.

Senior Brother Liu was taken aback, hastily urging his Magic Robe’s Defensive Magic to raise a layer of Clear Light around him. @@novelbin@@

Unfortunately, the power of the Defensive Magic was clearly insufficient to ward off the Ruyi Golden Snake.

A hazy Golden Light suddenly rose from the snake’s body, rendering its wings even brighter. It then swiftly circled around Senior Brother Liu.

With the boost from the Ruyi Golden Light, the already razor-sharp wings became even more lethal, slicing right through Senior Brother Liu’s defenses and cutting a long wound on his body, from which blood gushed out like a fountain.

“Let’s strike together.”

Upon seeing this, Zhuo Feifan was also startled.

They from Taiyi Mountain specialized in the Sword Dao and had far less knowledge about strange insects and exotic beasts than the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, so they didn’t know the origin of this small golden snake.

But seeing its formidable strength, they too were alarmed and stepped forward to join the fray.

Otherwise, if they were any later, Senior Brother Liu might have been killed by this little snake.

This was the gap between top-level Spiritual Beasts and ordinary ones. A common poisonous snake that gained Spiritual Intelligence and evolved into a demon could never be this powerful.

Just like when they first entered this area, the Spiritual Snake that Qin Feng sent to sneak attack them, although its venom was fierce, only caused Hao Dacheng to now still need to use nearly half his True Yuan to suppress the snake poison. But that was under the condition of a surprise attack, and at most, that was all it could do.

To expect an ordinary Qi Refinement Spiritual Snake to kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was nothing but a dream.

However, the Ruyi Golden Snake was a different breed of Exotic Species Spiritual Snake. Its Innate Divine Ability was far too powerful, incomparable to any common Spiritual Snake, which is why it could battle beyond its own level.

Moreover, the Ruyi Golden Snake was not only fast and defensively strong, its small size also made it incredibly difficult to hit. Even if one were to strike it, without specialized methods and powerful spells, it would be very hard to kill.

As for ordinary Spiritual Snakes or other Demon Beasts, it was simply impossible for them to remain unscathed like the Ruyi Golden Snake when struck by Flying Swords.

At this moment, the Ruyi Golden Snake zipped about like a streak of golden lightning, wildly flying around the cultivators and even forcing them to hold back their swords in fear of injuring their sect mates. Thus, everyone was somewhat in a flurry.

“Senior Brother Liu, you cast the ‘Taiyin Golden Light Sky Suppressing Sword Technique’ to suppress the void, and I will seal the four directions with the ‘Taiyin Golden Light Sealing Spirit Sword Technique’. With our combined efforts, let’s suppress this Golden Snake!”

Zhuo Feifan, after all, was a genius of the Inner Sect from Taiyi Mountain, and he quickly figured out a countermeasure.

“Good.”

Senior Brother Liu changed his sword move. The shadows of his sword multiplied, wielding the Sky Suppressing Sword Technique that immediately brought a suppressive force to the space within a few feet around.

Zhuo Feifan also cast the Sealing Spirit Sword Technique, complementing Senior Brother Liu’s, strengthening the binding power surrounding them several times over.

Nevertheless, the Ruyi Golden Snake shone brightly in golden light and, with the help of its Innate Divine Ability, its speed was not significantly affected.

Of course, since it was still in its youth, with insufficient Realm and strength, once the Ruyi Golden Light was exhausted, its movements would definitely not remain as agile as they were now.

Zhuo Feifan then said, “Senior Brother Zhao, leave this place to us, you go and kill that boy.”

He was afraid that Qin Feng would cause more trouble, so he sent another Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator to kill him.

As for Senior Brother Hao, the snake poison had not yet left his body, and he could at most exert only half of his strength. It remained uncertain whether he could kill Qin Feng who had several Spiritual Beasts protecting him.

“Leave it to me, rest easy, Junior Brother.”

The cultivator surnamed Zhao agreed, wielding his sword and pouncing toward Qin Feng. From a distance, he unleashed a sword strike aimed at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng dodged left and right, in a pitiable state. Even summoning the Swallowing Sky Toad, the Green Fox, and the Ghost-Faced Spider together did not provide much help.

The Green Fox’s Illusion Technique was not very effective against Foundation Establishment Cultivators. The Ghost-Faced Spider’s Poison Silk couldn’t reach the opponent, and the only somewhat useful attack was the Cold Ice Arrow sprayed by the Swallowing Sky Toad.

Unfortunately, the threat posed to the opponent by the Cold Ice Arrow was limited.

Qin Feng exhausted all his moves, but still could not hold out for long before being injured in the right arm by the Sword Cultivator’s Flying Sword. Had he not avoided vital points in the nick of time, he would have been decapitated.

In an instant, his body was drenched in blood, which sprayed all around the high platform with every movement.

He internally sighed, feeling that today he could not escape his fate.

However, just as he managed to dodge another sword strike, the Sword Qi grazed past him and smashed with a bang against a stone stele behind the stone platform.

Boom!

The moment the stone stele was attacked, the entire Cave Mansion shook.

Then a ray of light suddenly illuminated from the stele, spreading outwards.

“Ah…”

The Sword Cultivator ready to slay Qin Feng did not even have the chance to dodge. With just a single scream, the ray of light shattered his bones, killing him instantly.

Afterward, the light spread at an extremely fast pace within the Cave Mansion, looming over Zhuo Feifan and the others.

“Not good!”

“Run!”

Upon seeing this, Zhuo Feifan and the others were struck with horror and immediately turned to run towards the entrance of the Cave Mansion.

But how could their speed compare to the prohibitions within the Cave Mansion? In the blink of an eye, Senior Brother Hao, who was poisoned, followed the fate of the man before him. Then Senior Brother Liu also failed to escape.

Terror filled Zhuo Feifan’s heart. He quickly activated a Sword Talisman meant for saving his life, shrouding his figure in Sword Light. Within an instant, he escaped from the Cave Mansion and vanished from sight.

It was a Sword Talisman his master had given him for saving his life. Once used, it was powerful enough to let him flee hundreds of miles away.

The Ruyi Golden Snake also shuddered, obviously startled by the occurrence.

However, it instinctively knew it could not outrun the ray of light, so it didn’t attempt to flee outside the Cave Mansion. Instead, with a flash, it hid itself inside the empty skull of a nearby corpse.

All these skeletons belonged to powerful beings from external territories who had perished during the Ancient Great Tribulation. Although thousands of years of time had caused some of the bones to decay, there were still many that possessed a strange aura and remained incredibly tough. The ray of light did not manage to shatter these bones, which inadvertently allowed the Ruyi Golden Snake to avoid disaster.
