Nine Lives: Unbeatable Dragon Blood

Chapter 52 Sneak Attack

Lu Ping's quiet cultivation life was soon disturbed.

More than a month later, the islanders who went fishing reported to Lu Ping that fishermen found a sea beast more than 30 meters long swimming under the sea several times at the place that lay 15 miles to the south of Huangli Island. Therefore, the fishermen on Huangli Island were afraid to fish in that area recently.

The place that lay 15 miles to the south was the reef island where Sheng Tao's abode was located.

Lu Ping was startled. It seemed that the supernatural beast had noticed something.

As early as Immortal Senior Liu assigned the task to him, Lu Ping suspected that the sea snake that appeared this time was probably the companion or mate of the previous one.

The fishermen's report had further confirmed Lu Ping's guess. This sea snake must have some kind of mysterious skill to track the location of the previous sea snake and find the place where it was killed.

Lu Ping carefully recalled what he went through in Sheng Tao's abode and made sure that he didn't leave any traces there.

More fortunately, after this sea snake appeared, it fought with Qiao Xipeng, who went out to investigate the cause of his brother's death, which inadvertently confirmed that the disciples of the Xuan Spirit Sect were killed by the sea snake.

The cultivators of the Qiao family had given up investigating the cause of Qiao Xixian's death and were concentrating on capturing and killing the sea snake. Therefore, Lu Ping inadvertently avoided being suspected by the Qiao family.

The next day, Lu Ping came to the reef island and set two sets of Early Warning Magic Figures in the waters around the reef island to monitor the sea snake that might appear in this area.

In fact, Lu Ping wanted to take his chances.

Maybe he could also kill this sea snake here!

It was possible. Lu Ping had learned from Immortal Senior Liu that the sea snake had been seriously injured by the Qiao family's cultivators, and one of the Qiao family's cultivators died and the other was injured for that.

This sea snake was at most as powerful as the previous one. Last time, he was able to kill that sea snake that was seriously injured in a hurry. This time, this sea snake was also seriously injured. He could kill it by catching it off guard.

Moreover, he had made significant progress in cultivation and using magic weapons in these months, not to mention that he had a Magic Treasure as his trump card.

Last time, Lu Ping got great benefits after killing that sea snake at the Blood Dissolving stage. This time, he subconsciously didn't want the Immortal Seniors of their sect to get the benefits.

After setting dozens of Landmine Magic Figures on the reef island, Lu Ping began to wait for the sea snake on the island.

Half a day later, while Lu Ping was still monitoring the movement on the sea 1 kilometer away or so, a long, mournful, and angry hiss suddenly came from the sea several miles away from the reef island.

Then Lu Ping felt that his whole body suddenly stiffened as if he was drenched with cold water all over. The Spirit-Sealing Magic Figure and Invisibility Magic Figure on him were suddenly useless.

That sea snake was here!

Lu Ping was shocked and angry. The sea snake seemed to have figured out where he was. Then he saw a long white wave rising on the sea and coming straight in his direction. The Early Warning Magic Figures that were previously set on the sea suddenly became useless.

Lu Ping suddenly realized that since this sea snake could track down the dead one and came all the way here, it could naturally find that he was the person who killed the previous sea snake. After all, he personally peeled the skin and pulled out the bones of that sea snake.

Lu Ping had no time to regret it. The 30-meter-long sea snake had raised its huge head high and looked at Lu Ping with cold rays of light shooting out of its eyes.

Although Lu Ping had several means to escape, he made so many efforts to meet the sea snake. Lu Ping didn't intend to escape but wanted to exchange some blows with it.

Moreover, he had the experience of fighting with experts at the Blood Dissolving stage

More importantly, Lu Ping found that this seriously wounded sea snake's momentum was not as powerful as that of the previous one. It was a supernatural beast at the third level of Blood Dissolving. Although it had destroyed all the traps he set, it didn't mean he had no chance to defeat it.

A dark stone tower rose and hovered over Lu Ping's head. Rays of yellow light curtains expanded and contracted on the eaves of the stone tower and would come down at any time to protect Lu Ping and keep attacks out.

Lu Ping, holding a flying sword, faced the sea snake that came near him.

The roars of the sea snake did not turn into attacks. It was a calm supernatural beast that made Lu Ping feel uneasy.

A huge pressure dashed towards Lu Ping and a Divine Mentality Coercion covered him tightly like pervasive running water. The sea snake was like trying to see through all his secrets.

The sea snake's magic power that was ready to attack finally rushed out, and balls of seawater flowed up strangely, forming a thick transparent water wall in front of the sea snake. The figure of the sea snake became indistinct on the other side of the water wall.

Lu Ping's expression finally changed, and he stepped back without thinking.

However, it was a little late. The towering water wall collapsed, and the huge waves swept towards Lu Ping.

Lu Ping, who had nowhere to retreat, had to set the stone tower on the reef island, and the stone tower remained motionless no matter how the waves struck it. The price Lu Ping paid was that his magic power was poured into the stone tower like continuous water.

Although the stone tower disappeared and reappeared in the huge waves, it kept standing firmly, which surprised the sea snake. This human was a cultivator at the Blood Refining stage but his magic power was strong.

Lu Ping regretted that he overestimated himself. The last thing he wanted to face was the situation of deciding the winner with the magic power. However, the sea snake seemed to have seen through his idea. It launched this wide-ranging attack from the beginning, which made Lu Ping unable to avoid it.

Under the stone tower that was swaying in the huge waves, a ray of sword light flashed like a stretch of shining silk and shot in the direction of the sea snake. The waves along its way were split by Lu Ping's surging magic power.

Lu Ping must change the situation of attrition. He chose to attack.

A trace of contempt flashed across the sea snake's eyes, but the power contained in Flying Swallow Sword dispelled its contempt.

Was it this human cultivator who killed its love?

No, it was impossible. Few humans could have such a cultivation at the Blood Refining stage, but it was impossible for him to kill its love that was at the fourth level of Blood Dissolving. This human cultivator must have seen its love's body, or he was the accomplice of the human cultivator who killed its love.

In a word, this human must pay tribute to its love with his life.

A stream of seawater soared into the air, turned into a water sword, and collided with Flying Swallow Sword. With a "hiss", the water sword was smashed, and Flying Swallow Sword returned without destroying anything.

Lu Ping hoped that this blow could distract the sea snake's attention, reduce his pressure, and free himself from the strikes of the waves.

However, the sea snake's skill of controlling water was obviously superb, and the magic power at the Blood Dissolving stage was obviously much stronger than that at the Blood Refining stage. Lu Ping miscalculated.

While Lu Ping was thinking about other ways to escape, a long roar came from far to near. Before he had time to respond, a ray of sword light had cut through the air and came with a roar.
