Chapter 134 - 103: Vast Cyan Bow Shoots the Snake Demon!

Chapter 134: Chapter 103: Vast Cyan Bow Shoots the Snake Demon!

Xiang Chun’s fiercely thrusting daggers seemed to plunge into a quagmire, completely failing to cause even the slightest ripple.

"Heh." Bai Ziqing let out a soft snort from his nose.

WHOOSH!

The daggers in Xiang Chun’s hands were involuntarily drawn to the longsword in his grasp. She couldn’t react in time at all.

SWISH!

Bai Ziqing slowly flicked his sword downward. Xiang Chun’s entire body suddenly trembled as the pair of daggers slipped from her grip.

"Can’t even withstand a single blow." Bai Ziqing glanced carelessly at Xiang Chun, who was standing frozen in place. A disdainful smile appeared on his face. "I don’t even need to deploy my ’Domain’. Just using my ’Intent’ is enough to reduce you to this state..."

After speaking, he slightly twisted his wrist. The daggers attached to his longsword shot out like arrows leaving the bowstring, stabbing toward the large tree in the courtyard.

THUD!

The two daggers embedded themselves deeply into the trunk of the peach tree, one after the other.

By then, Xiang Chun knew that she couldn’t possibly be a match for Bai Ziqing. Her gaze hesitated for a moment before she abruptly spread her arms wide.

HISS! HISS!

The next moment, under Bai Ziqing’s indifferent gaze, Xiang Chun’s body slowly dropped to the ground as a flash of emerald-green light erupted. Her body became incomparably limp, like soft mud. With a visible and eerie transformation, she morphed into a massive green snake.

HISS!

The green snake flicked its tongue, raising its head high. A ruthless light flickered within its eerie vertical pupils. The next moment, the green snake’s tail violently curled backward, snatching the two daggers from the tree and stuffing them into its maw.

HAA!

It sounded like the most resonant snake hiss echoing from its throat. The daggers transformed into two extremely cold venomous fangs.

FWIP!

A jet of emerald-green venom shot out from the fangs like an arrow, hurtling toward Bai Ziqing. The moment the venomous arrow formed, it emitted a foul, fishy stench.

At that moment, another figure hidden in the shadows could no longer conceal his presence.

"Audacious Demon, die!"

As the familiar voice faded, an almost dark-cyan aura cascaded down like a giant net, covering the green snake in the courtyard.

SWISH!

The giant net brewed from the dark-cyan aura directly intercepted the emerald venomous arrow in midair. The venomous arrow struck the giant net, and in just a moment, it was corroded into smoke. Subsequently, the giant net continued its momentum unabated, plunging toward the green snake in the courtyard.

At the same time, a figure slowly walked out from the darkness. This figure was merely sixteen years old, with a fair complexion, incredibly heroic, exuding an air of righteousness, tall, and mighty. Just that face alone was enough to make countless men pale in comparison and feel ashamed of their own appearance.

His expression was utterly cold. His Dan Feng eyes flickered with a chilling gleam as he indifferently stared at the green snake in the courtyard. This person was none other than Zeng Anmin, whose poetic fame shook Jiangnan and who possessed a will of iron!

Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes, indifferently watching the green snake that was enveloped by his Vast Cyan Qi. In fact, the moment the green snake assumed its true form, the Vast Righteous Qi within his body had already grown somewhat restless. A thick murderous intent surged in his heart. It was as if the snake before him shared an absolutely irreconcilable enmity with him!

HISS!

The moment the snake came into contact with the Vast Cyan Qi, it involuntarily revealed a miserable expression.

HISS HISS HISS!

The green snake’s bucket-thick tail thrashed about wildly. In its frenzy, the massive tail shook all the peach blossoms off the tree. The falling peach blossoms drifted through the courtyard along with the wind. Most of them landed on Zeng Anmin.

Bai Ziqing was protected by his Martial Arts Aura, so not a single petal touched him.

"Pah."

Zeng Anmin first spat out a peach blossom that had accidentally fluttered into his mouth. Ignoring the petals on his body, he glared disdainfully at the green snake in the clearing. The giant net formed by the Vast Righteous Qi tightened further and further around it.

SIZZLE! A teeth-grinding sound of corrosion rang out.

The green snake could no longer hold back. Ignoring the giant net that tightly bound it, it slithered its body and rapidly fled toward the outside of the courtyard. In just a single breath, it disappeared from sight.

Bai Ziqing watched its retreating figure, a teasing smile hooking the corner of his mouth. "A mere Seventh Grade little Demon. If I let you escape, where would I put my face?"

After speaking, his legs slowly sprang forward. The next moment, he appeared beside the green snake outside the courtyard.

SWISH!

The three-foot longsword in his hand was raised high... However, someone was even faster than him.

"STRIKE!"

Standing in the courtyard, Zeng Anmin stared at the small snake outside, his Dan Feng eyes glaring wide in anger. A massive Cyan Bow had already appeared suspended above his head. It was formed entirely from Vast Righteous Qi.

"A gentleman must hide his weapon upon his person, and wait for the right moment to act."

A line of small characters faintly flashed with cyan light. Cyan Arrow Fletchings condensed automatically. As his voice fell, the string of the Cyan Bow was abruptly drawn back. The Arrow Fletchings formed by the Vast Cyan Qi instantly solidified.

The next moment, they whistled through the air, shooting straight toward the massive green python outside the courtyard.

SQUELCH!

The Arrow Fletchings pierced straight through, passing entirely through the green python’s body.

At this point, Bai Ziqing, who had just raised his longsword, blinked. Looking at the green python on the ground, struck by the cyan arrow and no longer possessing the strength to flee, his mouth twitched. He then shot a displeased look at Zeng Anmin.

By now, Zeng Anmin had already walked out slowly. He first patted off the numerous peach blossoms on his body, letting them fall to the ground. Then, he looked at the green snake that was barely left with enough strength to struggle on the floor.

THUD!

He reached out his foot and kicked it. He could feel the dense heaviness radiating from the green python’s body.

"Its skin is quite thick. I’ll peel it off later and make a belt for Ziqing." Zeng Anmin clapped his hands, then smiled cheerfully at Bai Ziqing. How could he not notice Bai Ziqing’s displeased expression? "Please understand. As a Confucian Cultivator, it’s normal to be unable to suppress the Vast Righteous Qi within my body upon seeing this Demon Race creature, right?"

Bai Ziqing helplessly sheathed the longsword in his hand.

Zeng Anmin looked curiously at the green snake, then approached its head. He gazed indifferently into the green snake’s eyes. His own eyes flickered with intense Vast Cyan Qi as he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"HALT!"

BUZZ!

The green snake’s entire body trembled. Subsequently, its vertical pupils became extremely dazed as it looked up at Zeng Anmin.

"Who ordered you to launch a sneak attack on Lou Tong?!" Zeng Anmin’s voice revealed an awe-inspiring righteousness.

HISS! HISS! HISS!

The green snake let out a sluggish hissing sound.

The atmosphere grew somewhat stagnant. Zeng Anmin’s mouth twitched, and he then looked up at Bai Ziqing. At this moment, Bai Ziqing was also wearing a bewildered expression.

The two men fell silent for a moment.

Speechless, Zeng Anmin asked, "You don’t understand it either?"

Bai Ziqing curled his lips. What a novel idea! How could a Martial Artist like him understand the language of beasts?

"I don’t understand."

Zeng Anmin crossed his arms, then looked up at Bai Ziqing and asked, "Then can you make it revert to its human form?"

"No." Bai Ziqing spread his hands, then pointed at the green snake on the ground and said, "Because it’s already dead."

Zeng Anmin subconsciously looked down in confusion. At this point, half of the green snake’s entire body had already been corroded by the Arrow Fletchings transformed from the Vast Cyan Qi... The remaining half of its body had also stopped twisting. It was like a pool of dead water.

"Uh." He rubbed his hands together awkwardly, then explained sheepishly, "It was my first time making a move. I was more or less a bit heavy-handed."

Bai Ziqing abruptly plunged his longsword into the green snake’s body.

SQUELCH!

The sound of the sword piercing flesh rang out.

SWISH!

As he withdrew the longsword, a cyan internal organ resembling a tadpole was gouged out.

"The gallbladder of a Green-Bellied Snake. It can cure snake venom." Unbothered by the filth, Bai Ziqing held the snake gallbladder in his hand and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. "Good thing I reacted quickly. If I had waited a little longer, I’m afraid this entire snake would have been completely corroded by your Vast Righteous Qi."

"Uh." Zeng Anmin nodded awkwardly. It really was his first time fighting. He still lacked experience in battling the Demon Race. Next time, he would know what to do.

"Hurry up and feed the snake gallbladder to Lou Tong," Zeng Anmin reminded Bai Zitong.

"Alright!" Bai Ziqing didn’t hesitate, striding toward another courtyard. Zeng Anmin followed after him.

The young man lying on the bed woke up with a face full of agony. He opened his eyes with great difficulty. Feeling the foul fishy stench in his mouth, he abruptly opened his mouth wide.

"BLEGH!"

His complexion, which had originally been somewhat pitch-black from the snake venom, was now flushed a dark purplish-red.

"BLEGH!"

He experienced another bout of nausea, taking a long while to calm down before he finally came to his senses. Then, he looked blankly at the two strangers standing in front of him.

"Who are..."

Bai Ziqing wiped his hands with a handkerchief in utter disgust. He had been the one to feed the snake gallbladder just now. Thus, he had inevitably brushed against the young man’s teeth, which hadn’t been brushed in nearly ten days...

"His name is Bai Ziqing, a Director of the Imperial City Department.

"My name is Zeng Anmin, and I’ve come to assist him in handling a case," Zeng Anmin said, introducing himself quite happily, a smile flickering on his face.
