Chapter – 149 Goblin Snake slaughtered
A terrific column of nine hidden dragon qi burst out of the ground below the rock rhino beast and instantly enveloped its whole body.
Cold and cloudy nine hidden dragon qi started seeping into its body, making the beast give away shrill cries as if the sky itself would fall down this day!
As Long Yu stood behind the body of the rock rhino beast after attacking it, the beast’s body now started shriveling and shaking and was now disintegrating into rocks and boulders.
This rock rhino beast had suffered great injuries due to being hit by the nine hidden dragon fist, so basically there was no chance he could survive now.
The body of this beast was even bigger than two martial experts combined together and now this enormous body fell on the ground with a great thud. Fine black lines could be seen flowing under its skin, which clearly showed that his body was being corroded by the nine hidden dragon qi.
Long Yu, who was hiding at one side to protect himself if required, now came out and darted towards the beast. Killing the rock rhino beast had been a matter of a few seconds for him.
Even after seeing the rock rhino beast fall to the ground, Long Yu did not become carefree. Instead, he became more vigilant as he remembered the Goblin snake. The speed at which the Goblin snake had followed those three men – it was highly probable that the Goblin snake had already killed the three men and was now heading back towards the rock rhino beast’s lair!
Just as he thought so, a black snake with strong killing intention rushed towards Long Yu.
The speed with which the snake launched this sneak attack, even Long Yu couldn’t outrun it!
He only felt a slight pain of a snake biting him on his back.
“Holding the Thunder charm, explode!”
Long Yu had already been ready for this. Holding the Thunder charm that he had comprehended loudly exploded, covering his whole body with Heavenly Thunder Lightning!
At this moment, his whole body was enveloped with radiant purple light, while the thunder charm worked upon countering the effect of the poison left in Long Yu’s body by the snake bite.
The black snake was about to charge towards Long Yu again, but on seeing the radiant purple light, it changed it course and moved sideways.
Long Yu was simply not afraid of anything now.
Long Yu felt that the point at which the snake had bitten him in the back was close to his heart and this highly fatal poison was now moving towards his heart.
However, fortunately enough, he had refined his body after entering the Heavenly Thunder reservoir by using the thunder mines and had also comprehended the Holding the Thunder charm, so his high precision defense capability was much stronger now.
While the snake’s poison moved towards his heart, the thunder charm integrated its power to stop the poison from reaching Long Yu’s heart.
Although he could not completely stop the poison as he was just a Zhenling 2nd layer expert, the influence of the thunder charm gave him enough time to think of a solution.
He decisively took out the Flying Snakes sword he had earlier seized from Qiu Zhenlao, poured strong xuan qi into it and chopped off the spot where the snake had bitten him!
The lump of flesh that fell on the ground was completely corroded by the strong poison and had already turned dense black in color.
“If it not had been for Holding Thunder charm, I would certainly have died.”
Although Long Yu was not afraid of anything, still he found it a bit awe-inspiring, because a sneak attack launched by Goblin Snake beast could not be dodged off by any martial expert, not even him!
After the opposite party had launched a sneak attack, fortunately enough, Long Yu had been able to survive it and now was protected against it.
He could now sense that somewhere in the lush green surroundings, a beast was lurking with a strong killing intention directed towards him as if it was ready to strike him any time now. If the opposite party launched a sneak attack yet again, Long Yu would definitely be able to fend it off.
However, soon enough, his complexion changed.
“Are there two Goblin Snakes?”
Two black Goblin Snakes, all of a sudden, launched a sneak attack on Long Yu – one from the left and one from the right!
However, quickly Long Yu realized that there were not two Goblin snakes, but the second snake was just the Zhenling entity of the Goblin snake!
The Goblin Snake, being at 4th layer of the Zhenling realm, could naturally congeal a Zhenling entity.
Because of this, when the two snakes launched towards Long Yu, he simply could not figure out which one was the main body of the snake and which one was its Zhenling entity!
When a Goblin snake launched a sneak attack along with congealing its Zhenling entity, it also released an enormous pressure which was deadly and poisonous. Under this immense pressure, the body of an ordinary Zhenling realm martial expert would surely perish instantly.
Long Yu fearlessly congealed his Zhentian Sun Zhenling and also released Zhentian domain which countered the fatal pressure exerted by the Zhenling entity, while the thunder charm continued to protect his body from the attacks.
Soon afterward, Long Yu activated his lunar wings which released a great amount of lunar qi and turned his body into a jet black streamer, and he immediately escaped the attacks.
After being prepared in advance, there was no sneak attack that could harm him easily!
“It is not good!”
In spite of being able to escape the attacks of the Goblin snake, Long Yu was not much happy because even if he had escaped, the Goblin snake and its Zhenling entity had now directed their attacks towards the Zhentian Sun Zhenling of Long Yu!
Although the Zhentian Sun was not a living creature, still it was being corroded badly by these attacks and under the influence of fatal poison, the Sun had started turning blue and black.
“Withdraw!”
Long Yu immediately returned the Zhentian Sun to his Dantian.
The power of the Zhenling entity was far more than that of the Sun Zhenling and there was no way it could withstand a double attack.
If it had not been for the great suppression power of the Zhentian domain, Long Yu’s Zhentian Sun would have been completely corroded by the poison, and in that case, he would have to wait for several months for its complete restoration.
While withdrawing the Zhentian Sun, Long Yu had taken his Qian dragon spear out and had contaminated the tip of the spear with the blood from the fresh wound at his back.
“Lamella touch, explode!”
Long Yu shot the spear towards the enemy with great killing intention, and it darted away as if it was ready to tear anyone or anything that came in its way!
Since Long Yu had been wounded by the Goblin Snake and the blood from the same wound was used by him to contaminate the tip of the spear, the magnitude of its power was much more – so much that even the Goblin Snake could not dodge it away with his great speed!
(Mystique: The severity of wound (from where the blood is taken to contaminate the spear-tip) increases the attack power of lamella touch.)
With a loud bang, the spear struck the Goblin snake and pierced through its body. As it fell to the ground along with the spear, it appeared as if someone had sewn its body to that of the rock rhino beast that was already lying there in parts.
However, soon enough, Long Yu found out that the snake that had been struck by the spear was actually the Zhenling entity of the Goblin Snake.
And the increased wrath of the Qian dragon spear along with lamella touch proved to be insufficient for completely destroying the Zhenling entity!
“If it was a Zhenling image, there was no chance it could have survived the Lamella touch attack. This means that Zhenling entity indeed is ten times more powerful than Zhenling image…..”
Long Yu thought to himself while grabbing his spear and now was more vigilant than ever.
All of a sudden, the main body of the Goblin snake shot out towards Long Yu in order to attack him. Fortunately, Long Yu had detected this move in time and launched a counter attack.
“Nine hidden dragon fist!”
Long Yu immediately condensed nine hidden dragon qi on his fist and shot it towards the Goblin Snake at once!
However, just when the nine hidden dragon qi was about to envelop the Goblin snake, it dodged to one side, as if it was already aware of the move that Long Yu would make.
Just now he had killed a fully grown rock rhino beast with the same technique but killing a Goblin Snake was a far-fetched dream. It seemed as if the Goblin Snake was naturally prepared against these attacks.
However, Long Yu’s power was not limited to Lamella touch only.
“Lunar Tablet!”
The nine hidden dragon mark changed itself to jade mark as he took out the Heavenly Lunar Tablet from his bosom, followed by the eruption of dense xuan qi. Long Yu was surprised to see that the jade mark had grown itself to be half the size of the tablet.
A spine-chilling, cold burst of lunar qi immediately erupted from the Heavenly Lunar tablet and scattered in the surroundings. If Long Yu could comprehend the lunar domain then this tablet could have exerted a tyrannical pressure on the opposite party.
This sudden eruption of lunar qi immediately turned the lush green surroundings into a stretch of frost and snow, reducing the speed of the Goblin Snake to almost half!
Since the Heavenly Lunar tablet and the Lunar wings had already formed a resonance, the eruption speed of the Lunar qi was much more than it previously had been.
Moreover, as there were no other martial experts nearby, Long Yu could freely tap the potential of the Heavenly Lunar tablet without fearing for anyone to attack him midway to seize the tablet.
Under the influence of the Heavenly Lunar tablet, there was frost all around now!
The Goblin Snake was unable to respond to this sudden change of environment as his black body was now covered with white frost. As its movements were also slowed down, it appeared in its true colors for a faceoff with Long Yu.
The Goblin Snake had the appearance of a black snake. However, it had the head of a human. It looked so horrible as if it had come straight out of hell!
After discovering that all his attacks went in vain, the Goblin Snake one again charged towards Long Yu who was holding the tablet tightly.
Out of all the treasures of the world, only the Heavenly Lunar tablet had the power to sustain its attacks.
As the Goblin Snake struck the tablet with its venom, the tablet immediately warded it off and the snake went back flying in the direction from where it had come.
The next moment, Long Yu activated his nine hidden dragon mark.
“Awakening palm samsara!”
Long Yu charged his fist with the power of the samsara and shot it towards the beast.
As he launched this move, Long Yu knew that since he was facing a very powerful enemy, his comprehension of this martial skill that was actually at Xiao Cheng level was fast enough to hit the enemy!
This meant that the power of nine hidden dragon fist, although having a tyrannical power already, would be more powerful now. The same would also apply to the intoxicated hell skill and the awakening palm samsara skill!
If he had to contest with a martial expert of same cultivation level, then the nine hidden dragon fist would be quicker and stronger than ever in defeating the opponent.
But if the opponent was of a higher cultivation level, like the Goblin Snake which was two levels above him, in that case being able to successfully strike down the opponent was very difficult.
However, at this moment, his Awakening palm samsara skill did not have these shortcomings because its effects occurred in a larger range of area!
At Xiao Cheng level, the awakening palm samsara could shoot immense power towards the opponent in a wider range, completely enveloping it and seeping inside its body!
As Long Yu launched his fist, immediately the power of the samsara enveloped the body of the Goblin snake, taking it to the samsara realm, dropping its cultivation level by one layer instantly!
From Zhenling 4th layer, its cultivation fell to Zhenling 3rd layer!
If Long Yu ever had to fight an opponent whose cultivation level was two layers above his own cultivation, he could only rely upon the Awakening palm samsara martial skill!
The very next moment, nine hidden dragon qi exploded below the body of the Goblin snake, as it started giving away shrill cries, just like Long Yu’s previous victim – the rock rhino beast.
The Zhenling 4th layer Goblin Snake howled on till it died!
Long Yu’s clothes were completely drenched with sweat. Being just a Zhenling 2nd layer expert, he had to fight with two Zhenling 4th layer beasts. In order to survive, he had gone through a lot of hardships.
Fortunately, he had the Heavenly Lunar tablet which helped him by slowing down the speed of the Goblin snake and defending against its attacks. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to kill this Goblin Snake.
Long Yu had finally emerged victorious!
Now it was time to collect the harvest.
Long Yu, still pondering, moved forward and grabbed his spear in order to seize the neidan of this Goblin Snake.
