Chapter 139
Plop!
Shangguan Qi fell to the ground dead, his face showing a ferocious, unwilling expression, and a hint of remorse.
In the past, he had escaped from Chen Yu's Dark Snake Sword and lost an arm.
He resented this in his heart and did not let it go.
As if it was a continuation of fate, he died under this sword today.
Although Shangguan Qi had just awakened his bloodline and was different from before, Chen Yu was no longer the young boy at the Soothing Pulse Stage. The Dark Snake Sword was no longer the low-grade treasure weapon it used to be, and its poison power was on another level.
"Junior Brother Shangguan …"
The armored man behind him was shocked and subconsciously distanced himself from Chen Yu.
Just as Chen Yu was about to deal with the armored man, killing intent flashed across his face.
"Ah!"
A scream came from the other side.
The remaining two female disciples beside Senior Sister Yi died at the same time, torn apart by the black wind like pieces of paper.
Bang!
Senior Sister Yi flew out and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face was pale and full of despair.
"Clang!"
At the same moment, Yi Yunfei was knocked back by the mace of the devil clown. His face was ashen and there were several wounds on his body.
Chen Yu's face changed dramatically.
When he killed Shangguan Qi, four of the six people from the Water Moon Sect died, leaving only Senior Sister Yi and Yi Yunfei.
Moreover.
Senior Sister Yi was already severely injured. She could die in at least one move, or at most two or three.
Yi Yunfei was also seriously injured and was in danger.
"Huh?"
Mei Changqing and Pang Tiancheng looked at Shangguan Qi who died of poison with a gloomy face.
After Shangguan Qi activated the power of his bloodline, his strength was comparable to the top three of the secret techniques. With the addition of the armored man, aside from Mei Changqing, he was practically invincible.
Under such circumstances, he was killed by Chen Yu in one or two moves.
"The situation is not good!"
Chen Yu's figure flashed and he put away the Dark Snake Sword and replaced it with the Mysterious Heavy Sword.
Swish!
The next moment, he came to the side of the seriously injured Senior Sister Yi.
Mei Changqing sneered and a layer of black gas lingered on his hand, exuding the pressure of the Qi Transformation Stage.
At this moment.
Hiss!
A strange sound came from outside the cave, and a gust of fishy wind blew in.
The six people in the cave felt a chill run down their spines.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the entrance of the cave, and all of them gasped in shock.
Unknowingly when.
The entrance of the cave was densely packed with fierce snakes. They crowded together and occupied the entire tunnel. Moreover, all of them were Viscera Refinement realm fierce snakes.
Among them, there was one that was far more ferocious than the others. It was seventy to eighty feet long and as thick as an adult's waist.
"Snake King!"
The hearts of everyone went cold, and they looked at the Darkspot Serpent King that was held up by the hearts of everyone and protected in the center.
The aura exuded by this snake had faintly surpassed the middle-stage of the Hou Tian realm.
Even someone as strong as Mei Changqing revealed a grave expression.
If it was just a Snake King, Mei Changqing was not afraid. He was confident that he could escape unscathed.
However, the snake king was surrounded by many fierce Viscera Refining stage snakes. Most of them were at the late stage of the Viscera Refining stage and above. They could be said to be elites of their kind.
He made a rough judgment.
There were at least forty to fifty Viscera Refinement elite snakes, and there was still a steady stream of reinforcements behind them.
The worst part was the passive geographical environment.
The remaining six people from both sides were all blocked in the relatively narrow Snake King Cave. There was basically no space to circle around, and they could only fight head-on.
Fighting a fierce beast head-on with a human's physique?
This was naturally an arduous and unrewarding task. Not everyone could have a physique as strong as Chen Yu's.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Giant fierce snakes pounced from the entrance of the Snake King Cave.
Die!
Mei Changqing's expression chilled. He waved out a faint black tornado that swept forward dozens of feet.
Pfft pfft pfft!
In an instant, three Viscera Refinement fierce snakes lost their lives on the spot.
But at the same time.
Even more fierce snakes scuttled into the cave. Some scuttled across the ground, while others climbed up the walls or the ceiling.
In just a moment, more than ten Viscera Refinement fierce snakes scuttled into the Snake King Cave.
Immediately.
The six people in the cave fell into a panic.
Some of these Viscera Refinement fierce snakes were elites of the same level. Their strength was comparable to the top ten of Bone Devil Palace's secret teachings.
Even someone as strong as the Evil Clown fell into a life and death struggle with the fierce snakes.
Senior apprentice-sister Yi and Yi Yunfei had suffered serious injuries and were forced into a corner by a few ferocious venomous snakes.
Boom!
The walls of the Snake Cave shook. Strong wind waves exploded, and dust flew everywhere.
"Bastard!"
Mei Changqing shouted in surprise and clashed with the snake king.
"Bang!"
Mei Changqing's figure was forced back two or three feet. His Qi and blood surged, and his face was flushed red with a trace of fear.
A few bloody marks were left on the surface of the Snake King's body. A huge force surged from its enormous body, and a layer of dark gray energy lingered around it.
For a moment.
The six people present were suppressed by the group of snakes and forced to retreat to a corner of the Snake King Cave.
Unknowingly.
The six people who had been fighting had formed a defensive formation in the corner, slightly vigilant against each other.
Mei Changqing, Pang Tiancheng, and the armored man's side.
Chen Yu, Senior Sister Yi, and Yi Yunfei's side.
But both sides understood that now was not the time for internal strife.
Once completely submerged by the group of snakes, even a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator might die here.
Hiss!
There was a trace of cold light in the Snake King's terrifying eyes. As it hissed, it summoned more Viscera Refinement Realm snakes to attack the six people in the corner.
Boom! Boom!
Mei Changqing tried to fight back several times, but the Snake King attacked him every time. His clothes were torn in a few places, and his face was covered in dust.
Because of the narrow space, Mei Changqing could only fight head-on, and he was completely suppressed by the Snake King.
Moreover, the Snake King would never attack alone. It would always be accompanied by one or two elite fierce snakes.
"We've all been tricked. The Snake King is the oriole behind us. I thought it was laying eggs, but now it seems that it swallowed a beast of the same level and needs two to three days to digest. "
Senior Sister Yi smiled bitterly.
Chen Yu focused and saw that the Snake King's abdomen was indeed huge, but there were no signs of laying eggs.
The information sent by Senior Sister Yi's pet snake before was vague, and it mistakenly thought that the Snake King was laying eggs.
"This beast is very cunning. It never leaves the cave entrance."
Mei Changqing looked sullen.
The Snake King's body was huge. It only needed half of its body to block the cave entrance to suppress everyone from time to time.
Its attack frequency wasn't high, but it was a powerful deterrent, and it occupied the strategic high ground.
"There's a huge corpse of the same level in its abdomen that hasn't been digested. It's not agile, and its attack frequency isn't high either. That's its only weakness! But it's using its geographical advantage and its numbers advantage. There's nothing we can do. "
Senior Sister Yi sighed.
If they were in a slightly more spacious place, with Mei Changqing, a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator, there would be a high chance that they could escape.
Unfortunately.
The Snake King had the geographical advantage, and it had an endless supply of fierce snakes. It seemed like it was going to kill everyone.
"Let's stay alive first."
Chen Yu swung his heavy sword and formed a sword energy net. He took a defensive stance. Pfft!
Pfft! Bam bam!
Any fierce snake that got close to the sword energy net was either cut in half or sent flying.
In terms of defense.
With Chen Yu's heavy sword and his immense strength, he could hold the fort by himself.
His Bronze Statue Skill had a strong defense. He could ignore the occasional bite or sweep from the fierce snakes.
Therefore, since he did not have to deal with the Snake King, Chen Yu was more relaxed than anyone else.
"Since this beast is guarding this place and won't attack easily, let's kill more of its subordinates."
Mei Changqing calmed down.
Since they could not attack by force, it was better to defend and preserve some of their combat strength.
When Mei Changqing gave up on breaking out of the encirclement and joined the defense, the group was much more relaxed.
Basically.
With just Mei Changqing and Chen Yu, they could block over 25% of the attacks.
The Snake King would occasionally attack. Since the frequency was not high, Mei Changqing and the others could easily deal with it.
Both sides were in a prolonged battle.
Seeing that it could not take down the group, the Snake King reorganized itself and gathered more fierce snakes to launch a round of attacks.
An hour later.
The group of snakes attacked continuously with no end in sight.
Apart from Mei Changqing and Chen Yu, everyone else's foreheads were covered in sweat. They had expended a lot of their inner energy. Their arms were sore and some were injured.
Fortunately, they had Senior Sister Yi, who was skilled in detoxifying snake venom, to preserve their combat strength.
"The Snake King's attack frequency is increasing. The food in its stomach is slowly digesting. We must break out of the encirclement as soon as possible."
Senior Sister Yi said in a low voice.
Mei Changqing could not help but reveal a hint of seriousness.
This Snake King's strength was above the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm.
Once it recovered its peak combat strength, even Mei Changqing would find it difficult to escape unscathed in this narrow space with the many fierce snakes. The rest of the people from Bone Demon Palace would probably die here.
"I have a sound wave secret technique. It had a miraculous effect against a group of beasts in the past."
The armored man from Bone Demon Palace suddenly spoke.
"Junior Brother Yuan, you have this secret technique. You should give it a try."
Pang Tiancheng hurriedly said.
"Yes, this secret technique consumes a lot of energy. I'll give it a try. It's best if you cover your ears."
The armored man nodded slightly.
Whoosh!
The armored man spread his arms and squatted down. He took a deep breath, and his abdomen expanded like a large balloon.
"Roar!"
A loud roar shook the cave. It was like an elephant lion flying into a rage. The powerful sound wave caused a layer of stone fragments to fall from the nearby stone walls.
In an instant.
The swarm of snakes that were attacking paused. Some of the weaker fierce snakes even felt dizzy, and blood flowed from their eyes and mouths.
"Eh? The effect is not bad. "
Mei Changqing had a slightly strange expression.
Chen Yu discovered.
Fierce snakes below the mid-stage of the Organs Refinement realm had poor resistance to this sound wave attack. Those above the mid-stage and late-stage of the Organs Refinement realm had stronger immunity and were only slightly affected.
"But this secret technique consumes a lot of energy. It needs to be prepared for a breath or two. I can only use it once every three breaths, and I can't use it more than three times in a row. Otherwise, my organs will be injured. "
The armored man's complexion was slightly normal.
"Three times? I'm afraid that's not enough! "
Senior Sister Yi shook her head slightly. "There are too many fierce snakes, and the Snake King is blocking the exit. Moreover, your sound wave secret technique is only effective against fierce snakes below the mid-stage of the Organs Refinement realm."
Next.
The six of them tried to break out of the encirclement.
"Roar!"
The armored man used the sound wave attack to scare off a group of fierce snakes. Mei Changqing took the lead to break out.
In the end, they barely made it to the cave entrance. The Snake King madly attacked, and the fierce snakes behind it kept coming.
Bang bang!
Everyone was beaten back to the corner of the cave.
"Wah!"
Because the armored man had continuously used the sound wave attack, his body condition had deteriorated. He was hit by the counterattack of the snakes and vomited blood.
"It won't work."
The armored man smiled bitterly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Mei Changqing and the others frowned.
This sound wave attack had a certain suppressive effect on the group of snakes.
The disadvantage was that it couldn't be used continuously, and the effect was average against the fierce snakes.
