Chapter 142: Transform Into A Snake
A great power immediately spread out from inside Zhou Chuan’s body, crazily pounding at his limbs and meridians. Meanwhile, his body was quickly pulled longer by the power, gradually changing shape. He was in the form of half-human and half-snake before, but he had completely transformed into a giant python now. The mystic weapon in his hand was unsealed once again, and the two of them tangled together as they fixed their eyes at Yunxiao.
That shocked all three people on the side. Not only Luo Yunshang and Chen Dasheng were startled, but even Shi Ruida was stunned. The visual impact was really hard to accept.
“A snake-shaped mystic weapon, a demon snake cultivation technique, and a snake demonization pill…You are really disgusting!” Yunxiao frowned as he watched the two giant pythons keep moving around each other. The sight made him even feel like throwing up.
Those words angered Zhou Chuan. His eyes turned evilly red, and with a forked tongue flickering out of his mouth, he darted toward Yunxiao. It was hard to understand how he could move so fast with such a huge body.
Clang!
Yunxiao blocked him with Tigertooth. The impact pushed him tens of meters back as his feet left two long lines on the ground. He looked up in surprise and said to himself, “Such a strong force! This is going to be troublesome.”
Luo Yunshang was worried about him. The aura emanated by the python frightened even her. But, the Four Quadrants Array was approaching its end of life under Shi Ruida’s constant attack, so she could not be distracted. All she could do now was trust Yunxiao, and she hurriedly focused all her attention back on the array.
Whoosh!
Zhou Chuan and his mystic weapon slithered back and forth in the air, taking turns to attack Yunxiao. Whenever they fell, it felt like a meteor was plunging from the sky. Using their huge bodies, they trapped him within a space of dozens of meters.
“Damnit! Tigertooth, the roar that shakes the forest!”
ROARRRRRR!
Yunxiao slashed out his sword. A faint tiger roar rang out, and a shadow of a blood-striped tiger condensed over the blade, which swooped down at the snake’s head.
The snake that was Zhou Chuan’s mystic weapon dived down and pounded at the tiger, blowing it apart. Amid the chaotic energy waves, another snake plunged whistling down toward Yunxiao.
“Damnit! He just won’t stop!” Suddenly, Yunxiao’s pupils turned into two blood-red crescents. A blast of spiritual energy shot out from his eyes as he cried, “Moon Eye, suppressing the soul!”
An invisible power rippled out of Yunxiao’s eyes, blasting upward like sound waves. Impacted by the spiritual energy, Zhou Chuan, whose eyes were red and aggressive, suddenly halted in mid-air while a confused look gradually emerged in his eyes, which shifted between sober and cloudy.
Yunxiao knew his divine sense was not strong enough to control his opponent, but all he wanted was a brief moment of a daze. He gave a light cry, and in an instant, his soul form in the Divine Realm Tablet turned into a stream of powerful spiritual energy and returned to his body. His blood-red crescent pupils seemed to have been supplemented with power, and a blast of stronger soul power erupted out of them.
Zhou Chuan’s forked tongue stopped sticking out, and he was frozen in mid-air together with his python-like mystic weapon, his eyes grayish and empty.
“Now!”
Yunxiao bent his knees and kicked his feet into the ground; a hole appeared in the earth as he shot upward like a cannonball. He lifted the Tigertooth over his head and thrust its pointed end at a spot on Zhou Chuan’s body that was seven inches away from his head.
“The sword of Tigertooth, the Song of Blue Lotus Sword!”
A huge blood-red lotus flower bloomed at the spot seven inches from the snake’s head, and a stab of pain woke Zhou Chuan. His dulled eyes returned to normal in an instant, and then they began to fill with rage as he twisted and turned in pain, shrieking and screaming like some wild beast.
Suddenly, an object flew out of his wound, moving in an arc across the air and falling into the distance.
Yunxiao’s pupils constricted as he exclaimed shockingly, “The Cauldron of Five Elements! So, you had hidden it inside your body! No wonder I couldn’t seem to sense it!”
He leaped, rushing toward the cauldron as fast as a bolt of lightning. After using the eye technique and the Song of Blue Lotus Sword, his spirits and Primordial Qi were very much worn out, and he was almost at the end of his tether. But, he guessed Zhou Chuan’s condition was not much better, since his vital spot was seriously wounded.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, Zhou Chuan darted out at great speed, chasing the cauldron. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Yunxiao as he opened his mouth and swallowed the cauldron with one gulp.
“YOU!”
Astounded, Yunxiao stared at Zhou Chuan, who stood there with the forked tongue sticking in and out of his mouth after he had devoured the cauldron. ‘This is going to be troublesome. I need to kill this snake before I can get the cauldron.’ He peered into the distance; Xiao Qingwang’s battle seemed not over yet, and he was not sure how much longer it would take.
Swoosh!
Zhou Chuan leaned back his upper body and then threw himself forward with all his strength. Startled, Yunxiao was about to dodge when the other suddenly halted in mid-air, opened his mouth, and spat out the cauldron, which shot toward Yunxiao like a meteor.
“Hehe! If you hadn’t shaken the cauldron out of my body, I would have forgotten that it is a fifth-tier mystic weapon!” A burst of triumphant laughter rang out of Zhou Chuan’s mouth. “Let’s see how you are going to block this time!”
Clang!
Hastily, Yunxiao brought the Tigertooth before him. The cauldron slammed at the blade and pushed him back while a great power of five elements rushed out of it, weighing down at him and making him feel as if his Glazed Body were about to break apart.
Puke!
Unable to hold on any longer, Yunxiao coughed out a mouthful of heart’s blood, spraying them all on the cauldron. After knocking him away, the cauldron turned into a ball of light and flew back into Zhou Chuan’s mouth.
There was a shocked look in Zhou Chuan’s eyes as he said in horror, “You are just a mere Martial Master, but why are you still alive under the suppression of the Cauldron of Five Elements! Well, I’d like to see how many times you can withstand!”
Yunxiao struggled to his feet, then lifted his right hand and loosened his grip. The Tigertooth fell to the ground with a clang, and about half a foot of its blade was thrust into the earth.
There were traces of blood at the corners of his mouth, but his upper body was still clean and smooth like jade, without any cut or wound. However, its color was fading. Under Zhou Chuan’s surprised glance, he sat down cross-legged on the ground.
“Why? Are you giving up?” Zhou Chuan stared coldly at him and said in a voice thick with hatred, “You can only compensate my loss with your life now!”
Yunxiao sat on the ground silently, with his hands flashing in incantation gestures. One seal after another flew out of his hands like butterflies, turning into tadpole-liked characters in the air and then forming into a huge seal in the sky.
“What is this?” Zhou Chuan was shocked, and he had a bad feeling. “Stop struggling! Cauldron of Five Elements, kill this guy for me!”
He roared, and he was about to spit out the cauldron when his eyes suddenly showed a look of terror. He felt as if there was something stuck in his throat, making it impossible for him to make a sound.
He kept sticking out his forked tongue as if he were in great pain, and his huge body began to tumble and twitch violently in the air. Meanwhile, a strange force exuded from his body, and a huge shadow of a cauldron suddenly appeared in the sky and enveloped him. Rays of five different colors could be seen flowing around the cauldron, which made it look corporeal and about to materialize.
Enveloped in the shadow, Zhou Chuan became extremely restless and fearful. He struggled and tumbled desperately in mid-air, trying to rush out of it, but all his attempts had failed.
Puke!
Finally, the thing stuck in his throat was coughed out with a mouthful of blood. Affected by the power of the seal in the sky, the Cauldron of Five Elements expanded rapidly and merged with the shadow, completely enveloping Zhou Chuan.
Streams of purple light began to swirl around the cauldron. Yunxiao’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly performed various incantation gestures, sending numerous seals into it. Soon, am over thousand feet tall purple cauldron hovered in the void while a great amount of natural Primordial Qi crazily poured into it, as if it were devouring all kinds of powers without an end.
Luo Yunshang and the others watched in shock as the cauldron kept shaking in the sky, as if Zhou Chuan, who was trapped inside, was struggling desperately. However, as more seals flew out of Yunxiao’s hands, the shaking of the cauldron grew weaker and weaker.
Shi Ruida’s heart sank. He could not understand why the Cauldron of Five Elements could be used by Yunxiao when it was still in Zhou Chuan’s hands. A sense of dread filled him as he felt Zhou Chuan’s aura grew weaker and weaker while Pang Chengwen’s life force weakened rapidly in the distance. He roared in terror, and he finally could not stand it any longer. Like a madman, he rotated his Primordial Qi to the maximum and pushed it toward Chen Dasheng.
Chen Dasheng felt a great force smash at him, which he could no longer withstand. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and was knocked flying away; consequently, the Four Quadrants Array was finally broken. Shi Ruida’s eyes shone with killing intent, and a towering rage emanated from his body. Suddenly a huge axe appeared in the sky and hacked down toward his head.
“Hmph! You are no match for me! Get out of here!” He bellowed coldly and threw out a punch, knocking the axe away. The impact forced a jet of blood out of Luo Yunshang’s mouth while pushing her tens of meters away.
“Die now, boy!” After knocking away Luo Yunshang with a punch, Shi Ruida leaped and rushed toward Yunxiao. The Primordial Qi in him puffed up, making him look like a huge fat man as he crashed down like a mountain.
The mighty aura of a Martial King filled the sky as it poured down at Yunxiao. For a moment, the color of the world around them changed!
