Nine Lives: Unbeatable Dragon Blood

Chapter 53 Serious Injured

Just when Lu Ping heard the howling and was still thinking about whether it was an enemy or a friend, a ray of sword light had cut through the sky and quickly came over from behind him.

This blow carried a strong lethality. It came with a howling and was no different from a sneak attack. Lu Ping and the sea snake were all regarded as preys that should be killed.

In Lu Ping's exclamation, the light curtain of the stone tower had been torn apart by the sword light. Flying Swallow Sword that was just recalled was blown away before being used again. Lu Ping only had time to throw out two highest-grade Magic Figures. With that, he was hacked by the sword light. Like a kite with a broken thread, he fell toward the sea in front of him. In the air, he vomited a mouthful of blood that was as bright-red as a cloud of mist that rose on the sea.

Facing the oncoming sword light, the sea snake gave a long hiss of resentment, as if it was quite familiar with and hated the sneak attacker.

A snake tongue sword with a forked tip flew out of the mouth of the sea snake, drawing a ray of faint blue sword light which collided with the oncoming white sword light.

The loud roar stirred up sea waves of tens of meters which beat on the reef island.

When the waves calmed down a little, only angry roars could be heard on the sea, and the struggling snake body rippled the sea repeatedly.

A cut that was several inches deep was left on the sea snake's vital part. Although it was not fatal, the gurgling blood still caused a heavy loss to the sea snake.

At the same time, several old wounds on the sea snake opened up. The sea snake probably got these secret wounds when it fought with the Qiao family of the Xuan Spirit Sect before.

The sea snake stared at a tall figure in front of it with cold eyes, shooting out an angry killing desire from its eyes. It was the human cultivator in front of it who tried to ambush it last time. After killing one of his men and severely wounding the other and getting through the close siege, it was also severely injured. However, this cultivator never gave up hunting it down.

Then the sea snake managed to get rid of this cultivator. After performing a mysterious skill and following its mate's breath, it came to the reef island and found that this was the place where its mate was killed.

The sea snake ambushed here for three days, hoping that the murderer who killed its mate would show up here.

Soon after Lu Ping appeared, the sea snake not far from here found him and confirmed that Lu Ping was the murderer it was looking for through a mysterious skill, so the angry sea snake recklessly launched an attack on Lu Ping.

However, it didn't expect that this human cultivator at the Blood Refining stage was so difficult to deal with. He was actually locked in a face-off with it. Although the sea snake was badly injured before and could only exert 70% of its strength, its blows were not something that a cultivator at the Blood Refining stage could resist.

But this human cultivator did that!

The worst thing was that the human cultivator at the Blood Dissolving stage who injured it and was got rid of by it found and attacked it again.

The young cultivator suspending in the air in front of the sea snake was the eldest son of the Qiao family of the Xuan Spirit Sect, Qiao Xipeng, the elder brother of Senior Qiao who was killed before.

There was a close bond of affection between Qiao Xipeng and his brother. After hearing that his brother was killed by the sea snake, Qiao Xipeng brought two guards from his family to find the sea snake to avenge his brother.

Sure enough, they found another sea snake that was looking for its mate near the sea area close to the True Spirit Sect. Qiao Xipeng, who didn't know the truth, naturally thought that this sea snake was the murderer who killed his brother, so he attacked it.

However, this sea snake was actually a Blue Sea Spiritual Snake. This kind of spiritual snake had a noble Bloodline and was very powerful among the demon races at the same level.

After the fierce fighting between the two sides, one of the two guards of the Qiao family was killed and the other was injured. Fortunately, Qiao Xipeng also seriously injured the spiritual snake at the last moment and chased it all the way here.

In fact, as early as Qiao Xipeng met the spiritual snake, he was already eager to kill it. Blue Sea Spiritual Snakes were aristocrats among demon races. If he could kill this spiritual snake and get the blood dissolving beads in its heart, his chance of breaking through the third level of Blood Dissolving and entering the middle stage of Blood Dissolving would be greatly increased, and his strength could also come top of the cultivators at the same level.

Qiao Xipeng who became greedy had already put revenge for his brother in the second place, which was why he hunted the Blue Sea Spiritual Snake continuously for several days even when he was not completely at an advantage.

If he returned to his family to get help, the spiritual snake might run away. Moreover, even if he killed the spiritual snake, he couldn't own its blood dissolving beads alone.

Qiao Xipeng, who had been tracking the spiritual snake for three days, thought that the Blue Sea Spiritual Snake might have escaped. When he was going to give up, he suddenly heard the hiss of the spiritual snake. At the same time, the fluctuation of magic power and the roar of magic methods came to him.

Qiao Xipeng was overjoyed and secretly came to the reef island. Later, he realized that the spiritual snake was actually facing off with a disciple at the Blood Refining stage of the True Spirit Sect. It seemed that the spiritual snake was indeed like a spent arrow. Otherwise, it wouldn't fail to kill a cultivator at the Blood Refining stage.

The True Spirit Sect was their sect's rival, and the spiritual snake was what he wanted. Naturally, he was going to kill this cultivator and the spiritual snake both.

After Qiao Xipeng launched his attack, he found that the spiritual snake was not as weak as he thought. Therefore, this disciple of the True Spirit Sect was not an ordinary disciple at the Blood Refining stage.

Qiao Xipeng thought of something and sent out his Divine Mentality Coercion. It probed into the seabed where Lu Ping had sunk. Qiao Xipeng was rested assured after finding that Lu Ping was already a lifeless body.

How could an ordinary disciple at the Blood Refining stage withstand an all-out blow from him, a cultivator at the Blood Dissolving stage? It seemed that the spiritual snake was just playing a cat-and-mouse game with this cultivator, but the spiritual snake never thought it would also become prey.

Qiao Xipeng laughed and focused on the spiritual snake in front of him.

The flying sword in Qiao Xipeng's hand was a medium-grade magic weapon. Cultivators could bring all the power of such magic weapons into full play only when they reached the Blood Dissolving stage.

Therefore, when cultivators fought with someone at the same level, the quality of the magic weapons would no longer be the main factor determining the victory like it did when they were at the Blood Refining stage, but depended on whether their magic power could fully activate all the functions of the magic weapons.

When a cultivator at the Blood Dissolving stage who could fully activate all the functions of his medium-grade magic weapon fought with a cultivator who was at the same level but couldn't fully activate all the functions of his high-grade magic weapon, the former often won.

Qiao Xipeng performed "Xuan Spirit Heavenly Illusionary Sword" that only the inner disciples of the Xuan Spirit Sect could learn. It was mainly about the quickness and unpredictability of flying swords and could catch people off guard and kill them in panic.

A ray of sword light was waved skillfully by Qiao Xipeng while shining brightly. Like a piece of white silk around the spiritual snake, it slowly tightened up and bound the spiritual snake.

Blue Sea Spiritual Snakes were the darlings of the sea and had a natural talent for water system magic methods. The water system magic methods of this spiritual snake had reached Shi Realm. With the geographical advantage, every magic method that was performed by the spiritual snake seemed to have merged with the sea, which made Qiao Xipeng feel like he was fighting with the sea.

The spiritual snake's snake tongue sword and poisonous tooth dagger shuttled back and forth in the water system magic methods, constantly clashing with Qiao Xipeng's flying sword. Sometimes, they broke through the siege of the flying sword and dashed towards Qiao Xipeng, but they were blocked by another shield magic weapon of Qiao Xipeng.

If he hadn't seriously injured it before, he would never be the match for this spiritual snake. Qiao Xipeng was secretly thankful for that.
