Chapter 122 - Martial Arts

With the help of the Iron Stream Formation, Yang Junshan and the rest of the nine people paid the price of two people to block the second stage of martial arts realm, the Snake Demon, after realising that the formation was restraining her, even gave up on attacking his and started to focus on handling the formation, attempting to break it first.

“We can’t let him destroy the formation!”

Yang Junshan roared out, and at the same time, three life spells flew out from his fingertips, exploding near the Snake Demon’s body, causing everyone’s heart to turn cold.

It was possible for, Yan Qinxi, and Zhang Yueming to have such an outstanding ability to continuously cast two life techniques, but for someone like Yang Junshan, who had all three life techniques cast at the same time, and had done it so casually, it was clear that this was not the first time he was using it.

One life spell, the Snake Demon did not take it seriously, two was nothing compared to it, but when three life techniques were used at the same time, even with its martial arts realm, it had no choice but to treat them with caution.

Just as Yang Junshan forced the serpent demon to temporarily stop destroying the array, Fang Xuansheng also pointed his finger towards the empty space. Two wind cones that were accompanied by sharp hissing sounds shot out towards the serpent demon’s eyes.

The huge body of the snake demon retreated a few steps, then it suddenly flicked its tongue, and every time it flicked its tongue, an ice spear would form in the air. The snake demon’s huge body backed up a few steps, and the tongue in its mouth suddenly flicked out, and every time it flicked its tongue, an ice spear would form in the air.

But at this moment, a three foot squared stone suddenly appeared above the Devil Snake, the timing of its appearance was extremely good, after casting five spells consecutively, even the Devil Snake didn’t have enough spirit energy for a split-second, the huge stone fell right at this moment, even if the Devil Snake Snake discovered it, it wouldn’t be able to dodge in time.

Stone Falling Technique, one of Zhang Yueming’s innate techniques. Being able to form a huge rock and land injuries on the enemy with earth spirit energy, it was definitely one of the most powerful techniques that he had used before, similar to the Sand Storm technique.

Furthermore, from what Yang Junshan knew, this falling stone technique also had Rock Spirit Art and Meteor Treasure Arts. These were all abilities that Zhang Yueming had relied on to become famous in the cultivation world of Yuzhou.

Everyone did not have time to cheer when they saw the body of the snake demon twist, and the huge boulder was easily flipped over. The angry snake demon suddenly opened its mouth and roared, rolling along with the icy mist and a trace of green mixed in as it rolled towards the cave’s entrance.

“Not good, it’s cold poison. Be careful!”

Amongst everyone, Yang Junshan’s knowledge and experience far exceeded everyone, and immediately alerted everyone.

Fang Xuansheng immediately used his Clear Wind technique, attempting to blow the ice mist back. Unfortunately, even the cold wind had almost turned into a violent gale, and the poisonous ice fog was still inch by inch, penetrating the cave entrance.

Fang Xuansheng bellowed: “If this goes on, I won’t be able to hold my Qi anymore!”

Senior Brother Zheng was still trying his best to unleash the Ardent Flame Technique and the Explosive Blaze Technique. However, his strength was suppressed by the innate ability of the Snake Demon and the might of all the techniques had been reduced by half.

Because of the Iron Stream Formation, Yan Qinxi had always been the main force in fighting the Snake Demon. However, she was panting hard right now, obviously the spirit energy in her body had also reached its limit.

Xu Jing’s techniques were mostly supplementary, and most of them had a tacit understanding with Zhang Yueming. Facing the poisonous miasma of the Snake Demon, he did not have much of a choice.

Seeing that the ice poison mist was getting closer and closer, Fang Xuansheng anxiously said, “If it really doesn’t work, Junior Yan will just have to look at your Practitioner Weapon!”

Right now, Yang Junshan could only control the Iron Flow Formation with all his might, attempting to attack with the three silver swords, preventing the Snake Demon Beast’s Inherent Skill. His talismans had already been noticed by the Snake Demon, and now he no longer had much damage, in order to coordinate with Zhang Yueming’s Stone Falling Technique, he used the three stone slicing techniques at the same time, practically taking out all of the spirit energy stored in Yang Junshan’s Immortal Foundation.

Yan Qinxi knew that they were at a critical juncture, without saying a word, she took out the sword sheath and said: “Then give me a Spirit Recovery Pill, my spirit energy is not enough to touch the seal on the sword sheath.”

Fang Xuansheng directly threw the jade bottle with the Spirit Recovery Pill into Yan Qinxi’s hands, he only saw that Yan Qinxi did not immediately consume the spirit pellet, but instead bit her finger and dripped her own blood onto the Sword Sheath, a cold sword intent suddenly exploded out of the Sword Sheath, causing everyone’s hairs to stand, the Snake Demon in the distance also felt the danger, the poisonous mist that was pushing forward slightly slowed down, and was instantly blown back by Fang Xuansheng’s Wind Breath Technique.

Just then, Zhang Yueming suddenly spoke to Yang Junshan in a low voice: “Dao friend, the Sword Sheath Practitioner Weapon might not be able to defeat the Snake Demon, I will need a period of time, could everyone hold on for a while?”

Yang Junshan seemed to have guessed what Zhang Yueming was planning to do, and asked seriously: “Are you sure? If I do this, I will be able to harm you quite a bit if I don’t succeed! ”

Zhang Yueming laughed and said: “I can’t hide it from fellow daoist, but if we do not, the danger of today will not be resolved, and we will all die sooner or later. Furthermore, fellow daoist is aware that if we do not succeed, there will only be harm, if we succeed, then we might have a chance of survival.”

Yang Junshan heard and nodded: “Do your best. I will try my best to buy you time, but if you succeed, then you don’t need to directly appear here.”

Seeing the confusion on Zhang Yueming’s face, Yang Junshan told him the secret passage leading directly to the cave. Seeing his expression, Yang Junshan seemed to have already guessed why Yang Junshan had disappeared behind the huge boulder at first, and said: “Even though that place is also surrounded by a group of snakes, I was just able to catch this Devil Snake off guard.”

Zhang Yueming nodded, and quietly retreated back into the cave.

As Yan Qinxi was the first one to consume the Spirit-Returning Pill, the sword sheath’s resplendent light became even more dazzling, and the snake demon in the distance seemed to have sensed the danger, but instead of retreating, he advanced. The poisonous miasma that was pushed back by the Wind Breath Technique once again, and even the snake demon spitting out a mouthful of Frigid Origin Mist, increased the speed of the poisonous miasma even further.

Without hesitation, Fang Xuansheng swallowed a Spirit Recovery Pill into his stomach, using all his might to resist the poison mist’s advancement, to buy time for Yan Qinxi. Seeing that, Senior Brother Zheng and the other disciples also swallowed the Spirit Recovery Pill, they no longer cared about the spirit energy in their bodies, and unleashed their techniques one after another in the poison mist, in order to slow the advancement of the poison mist.

Yang Junshan used a Sand Scorpio and weakened the poisonous miasma that pervaded the air, but it was immediately replenished by the endless cold Qi.

Clank!

A metallic sound suddenly came out from the sword sheath, and a three inch long sword light shot out and pointed at the serpent demon, the biting cold aura pressing down on it, causing the poisonous miasma to not be able to advance even an inch, Yang Junshan even felt a kind of splitting pain on his skin, and that was because the sealed sword light was not aimed at Yang Junshan.

Yan Dazhi’s sword arts had already reached such a level, and this was only a ray of sword light that was sealed by him. If he was here personally, I wonder what realm he would have reached, no wonder in my previous life, after levelling up to the realms of life, he was known as the “Tan Xi Sword”, where the tip of the sword indicated that he had swept the world, and that the Tan Xi Sect would become stronger in the future.

The sword aura flew towards the serpent demon, and in that moment, the serpent demon also noticed the extraordinary sword aura, its upright body suddenly curled up into a ball, its snake mouth suddenly spat out a dense cold Qi in front of it, as though it was not caring about its life, and then condensed into a white ice mist wall.

Ka-cha! *

The wall of fog shattered and the snake demon let ouainful howl. A cloud of blood mist drifted in the icy mist, rendering the wall of fog, which was penetrated by the sword light, blood-red.

Soon after, another ray of sword light flew out from the sword sheath, and with a “kacha” sound, the fog wall shattered. The snake demon was once again unable to block the seal’s sword light, its body was pierced through, and fresh blood spurted out, dyeing the ice fog wall in front of it red.

But right at this moment, Yang Junshan saw something amiss. Although the sword aura sealed in Yan Qinxi’s Practitioner Weapon was strong, she was unable to control it. Every sword aura could severely injure the Snake Demon, but every sword aura could not necessarily kill her.

Just as the last ray of sword aura shot out from the Sword Sheath, Yang Junshan also fiercely pounced forward, the knife on his waist swept out, releasing a blade light that was three feet long, as he rushed into the ice poison mist.

Just as the sword beam smashed apart the wall of mist ahird time, causing a heavy wound to the serpent demon, Yang Junshan’s blade beam also followed up, slashing the snake demon’s wound once again. Borrowing the power of the sword light from before, Yang Junshan’s slash had almost severed the serpent demon’s body.

The Snake Demon cried out in pain, but Yang Junshan’s methods had never stopped. After slashing the blade, he suddenly punched out with his left fist, and the Shattered Rock Technique instantly exploded in the wound, causing the Snake Demon’s entire body to be covered in blood and gore.

“Alright!”

Yang Junshan quickly retreated, ice dregs had already condensed all over his body and the cyan cold poison had already seeped into his body.

At this time, the Consecutive Jade Plate on his waist lit up and the others successively detoxified his spiritual energy. In just a short period of time, not only did the ice dregs on his body completely dissolve, even the cold poison that invaded his skin had been detoxified.

Everyone cheered. They thought that they had already dealt a severe blow to the savage beast this time and that victory was in sight. However, when the ice fog dissipated, the savage beast which appeared before them once more caused them to feel despair.

Yan Qinxi sealed the sword radiances in the three directions, and every single one of them stabbed at the serpent beast. However, at the most critical moment, the serpent beast curled up together, wrapping its head and seven inches around its body. It also had the Ice Mist Wall blocking its attack, so none of the three sword radiances managed to hit its vital points.

When the third sword beam shot out, even though Yang Junshan had caught up with it and practically cut it in half, the attack landed on the serpent demon’s body. Although the serpent demon was heavily injured, it once again shakily raised its upper body, and as it flew towards the hole once again, the rolling poisonous miasma, like the anger of the snake demon at this time, could no longer be stopped, as it surrounded the group.

“We’re dead for sure!”

Even with the support of the Spirit Summoning Pill, most of the spirit energy in their bodies had been used up. The Iron Streams Formation had been destroyed under the continuous attacks of the Devil Snake Demon, Senior Brother Zheng could not help but mutter to himself.

Yang Junshan held onto his horizontal blade, staring at the Snake Demon, his eyes still filled with fighting spirit, but at the moment, the others had already lost their last bit of confidence.

Where’s Zhang Yueming? Where did he go?

Fang Xuansheng suddenly realised that there was one less person in the group, and could not help but shout out angrily.

“This guy is still considered the genius of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and will become a Successor Disciple in the future? So you are actually a coward! ”

“I am the genius of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, my identity is precious, I naturally cannot be compared with the rest of us, that is not escaping, that is trying to make a comeback in the future!”

“Then he must still be able to escape. Could it be that by hiding in the cave, he’ll be able to escape death?”

The people of Tan Xi Sect who had lost the will to live were no longer afraid of death, and after feeling indignant for a moment because of Zhang Yueming’s disappearance, they started to mock the genius of Heaven-Shaken Sect.

“Senior-apprentice Brother Zhang will not escape just like that!”

Xu Jing did not believe that Zhang Yueming would escape at the last moment, and defended him loudly.

Seeing that Yang Junshan was still acting as if he was facing a great enemy, Yan Qinxi could not help but tease: “Hey, everyone is about to die, why not reveal your true face for everyone to see, and also tell us about your background. Since you saved my life, you must at least let me know who you are, right?”

Yang Junshan suddenly said coldly: “Don’t you guys feel that even though all of you spoke so much nonsense, you aren’t dead yet?”

The crowd was taken aback. It was only then that they realized that the savage snake beast that was charging at them had stopped moving even more than a hundred feet away from them.

“Get ready to fight. Right now, this is the final critical moment for success or failure!”

A vigorous aura that was different from that of a snake and savage beast suddenly shot up to the sky from the gentle slope outside the cave. Everyone was shocked as they saw a saber light cut across the sky and fly towards them.

“Martial Realm Cultivator, a magical equipment!”
