Her strength, nearing the Mahayana stage at the Integration Realm, was comparable to that of this Demon King Realm cultivator. Their fight was evenly matched, with neither able to gain the upper hand for the time being.
Lin Qianqian, standing on white clouds and holding a green wooden sword, fought a back-and-forth battle with the snake demon king, who had spread his wings and flown back into the air.
As expected of a snake at the Demon King level, its scales are incredibly hard.
However, it still couldn't withstand the slashes of Lin Qianqian's immortal sword. The tail that was used as a weapon had already suffered several sword wounds, with wisps of dark gold light seeping into the wounds, and some wounds were so deep that the bone was visible.
If it weren't for the fact that the power of the immortal artifact, the Azure Wood Sword, could not be fully unleashed, this tail would have been cut into several pieces long ago.
Seeing that physical attacks were not going to work, the snake demon king spat out a mouthful of poisonous mist towards Lin Qianqian while it was retracting its tail.
Lin Qianqian reacted quickly, and she cultivated the Great Dao of Life, a wood-based cultivation technique.
The purifying power derived from the wood-based technique spread out, instantly dissolving the poisonous mist.
Seeing that one puff of poison mist had no effect, he sprayed several more puffs in succession, but Lin Qianqian dodged them all.
The unpurified toxic fog fell on the trees and grass, immediately corroding a large area of flowers, plants, and trees.
With the outcome uncertain, Lin Qianqian didn't have time to waste. Since her strength wasn't enough, she'd make up for it with magical treasures.
Few people can match the number of magical treasures Lin Qianqian possesses.
Sure enough, after the two exchanged blows, Lin Qianqian took a few steps back.
The green wooden sword in his right hand disappeared, and when he flipped his left hand, a tambourine that looked like a child's toy appeared in his hand—the immortal artifact, the Decaying Dust Bell.
She held the bell in her left hand, gathered spiritual energy in her right palm, and gently tapped the bell three times.
With her current strength, the power of the Decaying Dust Bell is considerable.
An invisible sound wave swept past, but Lin Qianqian, as the owner, felt nothing.
But the snake demon king on the other side first felt something pierce through his body, and then felt as if he had been hit by a force of 100,000 tons.
The enormous snake's body seemed to have been shattered from the inside out by something, causing excruciating pain in all its internal organs.
Its serpentine body, suspended in mid-air, could no longer hold on.
With a loud "bang," the snake's body crashed to the ground once again.
The giant snake on the ground had its wings drooping limply, its countless scales broken, and blood seeping out.
"Ugh..." The snake demon king rolled on the ground in pain.
Seeing Lin Qianqian land, she slightly raised her right hand, the green wooden sword returning to her palm. She raised her hand, ready to deliver another blow and send the snake to its doom.
Just as she was about to swing her sword, Wen Mingyue shouted, "Watch out!"
At the same time, she sensed something was wrong and dodged to the right.
A burst of blue light grazed her head as Lin Qianqian turned to the side and simultaneously unleashed a sword aura in the direction of the attack.
At that moment, the warship in the sky fired a laser cannon, blasting towards the creature that had ambushed Lin Qianqian.
The attacker reacted quickly, moving all eight legs at once, hopping to the left and jumping to the right.
After dodging the attacks of sword energy and cannonballs, the thing stopped. Lin Qianqian and the people on the warship in the sky also saw the identity of the attacker.
A spider, over ten meters tall, landed on an open ground a hundred meters away.
The spider had a bright blue abdomen, a dark green head, and eight legs that were blue and green. It was clear at a glance that it was just as venomous as the snake.
This is the Blue Ring Demon Spider from the Demon Realm; its blue spider silk is tough and extremely venomous.
Lin Qianqian turned her head and glanced at the thing that had just shot at her—a clump of light blue spider silk.
She glanced at the half-dead snake demon again and saw that the dark golden light had disappeared from its wounds.
Lin Qianqian flipped her left hand, the Immortal Dust Bell disappeared, and then she raised her hand and clenched her fist.
The snake demon king, whose body was already contorted in pain, suddenly convulsed.
When Lin Qianqian fought the Snake Demon King, she mixed divine power into her sword energy. After the sword energy injured the Snake Demon King, the dark golden divine power seeped into the Snake Demon King's body.
This kind of divine power isn't for saving lives or curing illnesses; it's for taking lives.
Lin Qianqian had seen in Gaia's memories the ancient god Jumang, who could save countless people with a flick of his hand and take their lives silently with the same flick of his wrist.
By cultivating the Great Way of Life, one can naturally and easily control one's life.
Saving lives and killing lives can happen in the blink of an eye.
Lin Qianqian has only scratched the surface of this path; she cannot be like the true Jumang God, who can command and wave his hand to instantly extinguish the life force of the target he wants to kill.
She wants to kill with the power of her life, but she still needs to physically control it.
As she clenched her fist, the snake demon king opposite her instantly lost most of his life force.
"Ah..." A terrified scream echoed in the darkness. A hundred-meter-long giant snake had visibly lost most of its vitality. Its body was visibly shriveled up, and large areas of its scales had fallen off.
"What did you do to my husband?" the Blue Ring Spider screamed.
It ignored Lin Qianqian blocking its way, ready to slash it with her sword at any moment, and it also ignored the threat of artillery fire from the warships in the sky.
With a burst of energy from its eight long, hairy legs, it leaped up, ready to jump to the side of the snake demon king.
Lin Qianqian certainly wouldn't let such an opportunity pass by; being soft-hearted was not appropriate at this time.
She slashed with her sword, striking its two legs on its left rear side.
It stumbled and fell to the ground, then rolled forward several more times due to its momentum.
It was precisely because of these few laps that they managed to avoid the laser cannons fired from the warships in the sky.
"Madam." Seeing that the Blue Ring Spider was injured, the Snake Demon King dragged his half-dead body toward them.
"What a loving couple! But what kind of thing will be born from the cross-species union of a snake and a spider?"
She really couldn't imagine it.
Lin Qianqian complained, but her hands didn't stop moving. Sword energy surged one after another; she hadn't forgotten.
The snake demon king had just tried to eat her; if she had shown any mercy, the two demons opposite would have killed her immediately.
The Blue Ring Spider also possessed strength approaching that of a Demon King, but it was no match for Lin Qianqian's sword energy and the attacks from the sky warships.
She scrambled and stumbled her way to the snake demon king's side, and the two demons reunited.
Lin Qianqian thought she would see them pouring out their hearts to each other amidst the flames of war, but she didn't!
As soon as they joined forces, the snake demon king immediately transformed back into human form, and then the blue-ringed spider sprayed out a ball of spider silk.
This clump of spider silk is slightly different from the clump of spider silk that attacked Lin Qianqian earlier; it is silvery-white.
Silvery-white spider silk wrapped around the humanoid snake demon, dragging him up and placing him on the back of the blue-ringed spider.
Then the blue-ringed spider quickly darted into the nearby woods, ignoring the attack from behind and only caring about escaping for its life.
But will Lin Qianqian let them escape? Of course not!
She is now cultivating the divine path, and her spiritual and physical realms are disproportionately powerful.
So no matter how the two demons tried to escape, they remained within the range of its divine sense.
Moreover, there were warships following them in the sky, which Wen Mingyue was currently piloting and keeping a close eye on the two demons.
Just as Lin Qianqian caught up with them, she suddenly swung her sword to the left, and a large area of towering trees was flattened wherever the sword energy passed.
At the same time, a huge bronze axe flew out of the woods and smashed towards Lin Qianqian.
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the warship.
