"What?" Ning couldn't help but come to a halt."Could it be that the Azure Skysnake King is really going to appear?”Ning couldn't care less about anything else. He hurriedly turned and changed directions, stepping on the surface of the water as he flew at high speed, attempting to flee.
"Hua ~~~"
An incomparably beautiful giant snakehead covered in jade green scales emerged from the water.
Staring at the Azure Skysnake King, whose enormous head had emerged, Ning had a solemn look on his face."This is big trouble. I didn't expect the Azure Skysnake King to come so quickly! With my 'one with the world' movement technique, I've been able to escape the pursuit of many greater demons. There are only a few greater demons in Eastmount Marsh that pose a threat to me, and the Azure Skysnake King is one of them.”
"The first time I came to Eastmount Marsh, I encountered it!”Ning's mind quickly filled with the information he had read about the Azure Skysnake King in the West Prefecture City.
The Azure Skysnake King was a divine beast, the Azure Skysnake! According to the records of the Ji clan, the Azure Spacetime Snake King had only been at the early Xiantian level of power when they had last investigated him! Although it was only an early Xiantian lifeform, it had the bloodline of a Fiendgod, and its power was not much weaker than Serpentwing's.
The Azure Skysnake King was known for its agility! In all other aspects, he was slightly inferior to Serpentwing, but only in terms of speed and agility was he superior to Serpentwing! In addition, the venom of the Azure Skysnake contained an intense hallucinatory poison. If it bit it, ordinary demons would fall into an illusion!
"The agility that I'm so proud of is being countered by it.”Ning felt frantic in his heart.
In a life-and-death battle, agility was more important than strength and speed!
The Aquatic Rhino King, for example, was far more powerful than Ning! His defense far surpassed Ning's!
But in Ning's eyes, the Aquatic Rhino King was just a stupid idiot. He had easily circled around the Aquatic Rhino King and killed it. It couldn't hit him even if it wanted to. And this Azure Skysnake King was best at agility!
……
"Hua hua hua ~~~" The surface of the lake in the distance also faintly revealed the huge scales of a snake.
The Azure Skysnake King's head was raised high, staring downwards at Ning. Its eyes were filled with confusion as it let out a deep roar.
"Hmm?" Ning frowned as he looked at the Azure Skysnake King. What was the Snake King talking about? He didn't understand. The Azure Skysnake King was a divine beast…but it had yet to take human form at the Xiantian level, so it was unable to speak the human language.
Whoosh!
Another figure emerged from the water next to the Azure Skysnake King. It was a tall, skinny, white-robed man. The white-robed man looked at Ning and barked,"My lord asks you, did you kill the Aquatic Rhino?”
"Would you believe me if I said it wasn't?" Ning asked.
"There's no other human around besides you. Who else can it be?”The white-robed man sneered." And you can walk on water. You've already become one with the world!“
Suddenly, the Azure Skysnake King lowered its head and roared again. The white-robed man relayed,""However, the Aquatic Rhino's corpse didn't emit any Innate True Qi fluctuations. Could it be that you aren't a Xiantian lifeform?”
"If I answer you, will you let me go?" Ning asked.
"How is that possible?" The white-robed man sneered," You killed the Aquatic Rhino under the king and then let you go. Where is the king's prestige?”
"If that's the case, then cut the crap. If you want to fight, then fight. If you don't, then I'm leaving.”
The Azure Skysnake King's enormous head stared downwards at Ning, filled with confusion. Of course, it wasn't afraid of this human child in front of it. However, the surroundings of the Aquatic Rhino's corpse were too strange. There was clearly no Innate True Origin fluctuation, so why did the Aquatic Rhino die? Not being a Xiantian lifeform was capable of killing Diremonsters?
"Humph." Ning immediately stepped onto the surface of the water, transforming into a gust of wind as he fled into the distance.
Even if they were out adventuring, they had to know their limits. If they were to fight against a powerful demon, they would be courting death! Ning had never intended to fight against the Azure Skysnake King…
"Hua ~~" The Azure Skysnake King swooshed through the water, transforming into a silver wave.
Moments later, an enormous snakehead appeared in front of Ning.
"You are indeed faster than me." Ning suddenly came to a halt, his eyes burning with madness."It seems we can't avoid this battle. Since we can't avoid it, then let's fight!"”
"In Eastmount Marsh, the only person faster than my Great King is Old Demon Snow Toad! Do you know Old Demon Snow Toad? That's the most powerful Diremonster in all of Eastmount Marsh! A single breath of cold air from him could freeze you to death!”The tall, skinny man in white walked on the surface of the water, causing the water to tremble with every step he took. He was far from being as carefree as Ning when he walked on the water."In front of my king, are you still willing to die?"
Ning frowned, then turned and transformed into a streak of light, charging towards the tall, skinny, white-robed man."You demon, you're really noisy. Eat my sword.”
Whoosh!
The cold light was piercingly cold, scaring the white-robed man so much that he immediately dove into the water with a plop. He was under the command of the Azure Skysnake King, so in terms of strength, he was slightly weaker than the Aquatic Rhino King. How could he dare to fight with this human youth?
"Roar ~~~" The Azure Skysnake King suddenly let out a furious roar.
Ning turned his head to look, not feeling the slightest bit of fear. Since he couldn't escape, Ning naturally quickly discarded the fear and hesitation in his heart. What remained was a fanaticism, a fanaticism for battle! Fighting with an opponent whose strength was completely beyond his own, that was the only way to make his blood boil!
Whoosh. An enormous azure-scaled snake tail suddenly shot out from the lake, sweeping towards Ning with incredible speed.
"So fast!" Ning's skin was faintly red. Clearly, he had pushed his power of the sun and the power of the moon to their limits. At the same time, he used the Shadowwind Steps, each wielding a Darknorth sword in his hands. One of the Darknorth swords was glowing with blue light…poison! The Darknorth swords were three swords in a single sheath. Two of them were normal, while the other Darknorth sword had been smeared with a deadly poison.
Even a small portion of the arrows he carried were coated with poison! After all, when adventuring outside and fighting to the death, the ultimate goal was to kill the enemy! Naturally, he would resort to unscrupulous means. When he was fighting against the Aquatic Rhino King, Ning didn't care, but this Azure Skysnake King was far too dangerous.
With one hand, he executed the 'Little Water Flowing Forever'.
With one hand, he executed the 'Rain Thread.'
The two Darknorth swords moved, instantly drawing upon the energy of the world. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoo
At the same time, water droplets condensed into threads that cut through the huge snake's body!
"Bang!" Ning was sent flying backwards at high speed, creating a large splash of water.
"Crash!" Jade green blood spurted out from the large wound on the snake's body. However, the blood flow quickly slowed down and the wound became smaller. However, the blood was faintly black, but it quickly returned to jade green. Clearly, the poison on the Darknorth swords was not a threat to the Azure Skysnake King.
Whoosh!
Ning leaped out of the lake and soared into the skies.
The Azure Skysnake King quickly coiled its huge body and stared at the human youth in the distance. This human youth had actually injured it in a single move.
Suddenly-
The Azure Skysnake King's incomparably massive body actually began to rapidly shrink. Before, it had been even larger than Serpentwing, but in a short instant, it had shrunk to only ten meters long, its body now only as thick as a thigh. At the same time, this jade-green Azure Skysnake stared at Ning, letting out a hissing sound.
"Not good." Ning had a solemn look on his face.
The Azure Skysnake King was a divine beast, it could change its size and was known for its agility. It was the most terrifying when it shrank!
A violet pill appeared out of nowhere in Ning's hand, then he stuffed it into his mouth. This was an antidote spirit-pill. It was one of the many antidote spirit-pills which Ning had prepared for this adventure, specifically to deal with all sorts of Diremonsters and dangers. It was extremely effective against illusions, poisons, and miasma.
Ning gripped his sword with both hands, staring fixedly at the Azure Skysnake King.
The Azure Skysnake King's head swayed slightly as it flicked its forked tongue. It was like an experienced hunter searching for Ning's weakness. As it swayed, it slowly swam through the water, constantly closing in on Ning. Ning, on the other hand, stepped back step by step on the surface of the water, maintaining the distance between them.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, the Azure Skysnake King transformed into a bolt of azure lightning!
He charged straight towards Ning!
A sharp light flashed through Ning's eyes. The Darknorth swords in his right hand instantly transformed into a streak of flickering light, moving at incredible speed. This was the third of the [Thunderflame Sword]'s three ultimate techniques,'Lightning Flint.' This technique could only be described in one word: fast! Ning's current fastest sword-art was to counter the Azure Skysnake King's attack with an attack!
Shua! Shua!
The Azure Skysnake King instantly changed directions twelve times in a row, transforming into a ghostly blur that brushed past the Darknorth sword in his right hand. It even used its shrunken body, which was clearly much tougher than before, to slam into the sword.
However, the Darknorth swords in Ning's left hand had already transformed into ripples of water. He was using the ultimate defensive technique of the [Raindrop Sword],'Impenetrable Water'!
"Clang!"
The snake's head and the Darknorth swords clashed, and the Azure Skysnake King couldn't help but be forced to the side.
The two crossed each other!
"Pa!" In that instant, an even more terrifying figure suddenly emerged from the water and lashed towards Ning. Ning was caught off guard, and he was struck hard in the chest. Bang! Ning's face turned red, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. At the same time, he tumbled off into the distance and fell towards the lake.
Whoosh ~~~
As for the Azure Skysnake King, it was swimming through the water at high speed, heading straight for the spot where Ning had fallen.
"Too fast. It was much faster than Serpentwing's tail whip.”Ning did a somersault in the air, then floated back up into the lake. He couldn't help but clutch his chest. He could faintly feel his bones breaking, but his Fiendgod Body Refiner's powerful regenerative abilities were rapidly repairing them.
Kakaka ~~~ The two broken ribs on his chest quickly recovered.
"However, its power is quite a bit weaker than Serpentwing's.”Ning glanced at his chest. Only the beast fur coat had been torn open. With the protection of the Goldstar Armor, the damage to his body wasn't too great.
"Whoosh!"
The Azure Skysnake King turned into a bolt of lightning and pounced over.
Hurry up!
"Come on." Ning seemed to have gone mad as he held his twin swords in his hands, doing his best to defend. The Azure Skysnake King occasionally bit with its head, sometimes coiled around with its body, and sometimes lashed out with its tail. It was as if its entire body was a weapon, and it surrounded Ning in a frenzied manner, attacking him in a very small area with incredible speed. It often exchanged blows multiple times in an instant.
Ning's [Raindrop Sutra] and [Thunderflame Sword] had both reached the threshold of mastery, but his sword-arts had yet to truly reach the level of 'one with the world'!
The integration of Heaven and man in sword arts was when even an ordinary stab, slash, or swing could draw upon the power of heaven and earth. Only then could it be considered the integration of Heaven and man in sword arts. It was precisely because Ning hadn't reached this stage that when he exchanged lightning-fast blows, he would be able to temporarily break away from the state of 'one with the world'.
Once it broke away from the Union of Heaven and Man, the power of the sword technique would be greatly reduced. This was a huge flaw. Even though Ning had relied on his two-handed sword to make up for it, in the end…a prolonged defense was bound to be broken!
"Tsk!"
The Azure Skysnake King's snakehead viciously bit down on Ning's calf, its sharp venomous fangs piercing through the beast skin and the Goldstar robe. The venom within the venomous fangs instantly entered Ning's body through the venomous fangs, and an intense numbing sensation spread from his calf to his entire body. Ning hurriedly swallowed the antidote spirit-pill in his mouth.
"Go to hell." Ning held the Darknorth swords in both hands, simultaneously using the [Thunderflame Sword] technique,[Moth to Fire]. Instantly, the two swords transformed into two streams of flames that intertwined with each other, stabbing straight towards the Azure Skysnake King's lower leg!
