Monsters are typically thick-skinned and tough, practically indestructible. Not to mention the Silverwing Serpent's lightning-fast speed and deadly venom. Without thorough preparation, certain death is inevitable, with no chance of survival.
Now these Nascent Soul and Golden Core stage weaklings are brazenly showing up, ready to gang up on a Deity Transformation expert. Zhang Yue felt a sharp pain in her face!
Ants can kill an elephant, haha, are those ants idiots? Zhang Yue had a feeling that she was being used as cannon fodder.
"Junior Sister Xu, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
"I didn't do it on purpose. The silver winged snake is very likely dormant, so we can take advantage of the situation."
"Don't tell me that the people of Qinghua Sect have been learning by trial and error all these years."
Xu Ling's face turned bright red. Some people are just unlucky; without hibernation, they would be almost certainly dead.
"It's not too late to back out now, but the treasure seems to be inside the cave." Xu Ling's expression was somewhat unnatural.
“If there really is a treasure, your sect’s elders could leave it to us,” Lei Ming said.
“Those rooms are all protected by magic, they can’t be opened. What’s the point of not giving up? The herbs in the herb garden haven’t matured yet, who would take everything?” Xu Ling pouted.
Lei Ming was speechless.
"It's not too late to back out now," Xiu Qiyu said coolly.
Everyone rolled their eyes. They had gone through countless hardships to finally see the cave dwelling; who would be willing to give up now? Cultivators defy fate; if they dared not even fight, how could they possibly achieve the Great Dao?
"Not good, retreat!" Xiu Qiyu shouted, and his white figure retreated rapidly.
The others reacted quickly as well, their various magical artifacts flashing with dazzling light as they escaped from the hundreds of deadly water arrows.
"Looks like we're out of luck." The attack just now carried a cold and powerful aura, clearly from the silver-winged serpent. Xu Ling's face turned pale at the sight of that aura.
"This silver-winged serpent is the guardian beast of the cave; we must defeat it before we can enter."
"Prepare for battle."
Soon, everyone saw the enormous silver-winged serpent with its gaping maw, and the force with which it burst out of the water completely overwhelmed everyone.
Xiu Qiyu was a little better off; his bloodline was completely capable of overwhelming this snake.
A chilling aura instantly enveloped Xiu Qiyu's entire body, its purpose naturally being to protect against snake venom. If poisoned by the Silver Winged Serpent, without an eighth-grade antidote, death was inevitable! Within a quarter of an hour, his entire body would fester and he would die.
Xiu Qiyu's sword light was shattered by a huge water column while it was still in mid-air, and more than a dozen water columns even came towards him.
A white shadow flashed, dodging the water arrow. Lei Ming and Zhang Yue's lightning bolts continued to strike the Silver Winged Serpent, sending silver scales flying everywhere and leaving several charred patches on its body.
However, Zhang Yue and Lei Ming looked extremely grim; despite their all-out attack, they could only manage to injure the snake slightly.
Xiu Qiyu's Ice Moon Slash, transformed into a crescent moon, slammed into the Silver Winged Serpent. Upon seeing this, Zhang Yue, Lei Ming, Yin Tianhua, Xu Ling, and Kong Qingqiu leaped into the air, each unleashing their most powerful attacks.
The Silverwing Serpent let out a mournful cry, its silver eyes instantly turning blood red, and its violent aura sent everyone flying in an instant.
Xu Ling was almost in despair. She spat out a mouthful of blood while still in mid-air, and her pale blue figure fell straight into the lake. Once she fell into the lake, even God couldn't save her.
Not to mention the gaping maw that was getting closer and closer to her; she was going to die, and die in the mouth of a monster.
However, the excruciating pain and death she had imagined did not come; instead, a jet-black sword gleaming with green light flew directly into the mouth of the Silverwing Serpent.
The silver-winged serpent let out a painful roar, and the powerful pressure made Xu Ling spit out another mouthful of blood.
Xiu Qiyu quickly scooped up the woman who was on the verge of dying and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, a powerful force struck from behind, pushing him and Xu Ling even closer to the Silverwing Serpent. Without thinking, he crushed three explosive pills.
Before getting close to the Silverwing Serpent, he slashed fiercely at its head with his sword, using the rebound force to escape the serpent's attack range.
Ignoring the silver-winged snake behind him, Xiu Qiyu tossed Xu Ling to Kong Qingqiu, then his aura surged, and with a flash of white, he headed towards Yin Tianhua.
Yin Tianhua's face was pale at this moment, and a hint of regret flashed in his gloomy eyes. Why hadn't he died yet?
"Are you disappointed that I didn't die?" Xiu Qiyu's white figure appeared directly in front of Yin Tianhua.
"How could this be?" The moment he spoke, Xiu Qiyu immediately took action, knocking away several black silver needles, and his ice-blue sword pierced through Yin Tianhua's dantian with incredible speed.
"Aaaaaah! You actually destroyed my cultivation!" Yin Tianhua spat out a mouthful of blood, appearing completely insane.
"Did you think about the consequences before you tried to harm me?" Xiu Qiyu sneered. "Someone like you would be too dirty to kill. You'd be better off just being an ordinary person."
Not far away, Xu Ling, supported by Kong Qingqiu, looked pale and weak: "Senior Brother Yin wants to kill me."
"Him, never mind, let's not talk about it anymore. This is the best ending." Kong Qingqiu and Xu Ling never expected that their senior brother, who was usually so refined and elegant, would be like this, even worse than a stranger they had only known for a few days.
"Senior Ye, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace."
"smoothly."
This girl may be a little dim-witted and a bit of a glutton, but she has a kind heart. If it weren't for him, even if she made it to the end, she would definitely have been assassinated.
"If Senior Ye has any divine command in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Xiu Qiyu gave Zhang Yue and Lei Ming a cold look, and both of them understood what Xiu Qiyu meant.
“I swear on my conscience that I will not be like Yin Tianhua.”
Xiu Qiyu nodded. Lei Xiu was mostly a straightforward person, though there were also some cunning ones. These two had fared alright so far.
The silver-winged snake had already submerged into the lake, and the lake quickly returned to its previous calm state. However, everyone's eyes were fixed on the lake as if they were looking at some man-eating demon.
"It's been drugged by my sleeping potion, and the effects have penetrated deep into its body. I estimate it won't wake up for at least five days," Xiu Qiyu said calmly.
The remaining four were completely petrified. Good heavens, that was a powerful demonic beast, almost at the Nascent Soul stage! We fought it for ages and only suffered minor injuries. And yet, it was taken down by a single bottle of sleeping potion! Absolutely unacceptable!
Zhang Yue swallowed hard: "What kind of medicine is this? What grade is it? Where did you buy it?"
The others also looked on with great interest. (To be continued.)
