Lu Ping lay quietly at the bottom of the sea, not moving an inch. He anxiously watched the battle between Qiao Xipeng and the Sea Snake Demon through the warning talismans he placed in the sea.
When Lu Ping was attacked, Lu Ping had already guessed that the attacker was Xuan Ling Sect's Qiao Xipeng.
When Lu Ping was struck to the bottom of the sea, he was protected by the stone tower and the Flying Swallow Sword. The two top-grade blood charms also weakened the sword rays a little. But even so, if he were an ordinary Ninth Layer Blood Refining Realm cultivator, he wouldn't have survived.
Fortunately, Lu Ping had a mid-grade inner armor made from the Sea Snake Demon's skin. This armor blocked more than half of the remaining sword light's power. The remaining sword light was no longer a threat to Lu Ping's life.
Moreover, during this period of time, Lu Ping and Dabao had been eating the Sea Snake Demon's meat. Demonic beasts' bodies were much stronger than humans', not to mention the Green Sea Snake's meat. Therefore, Lu Ping's body was greatly strengthened.
Even so, Lu Ping was still severely injured. This allowed him to clearly experience the power of a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator.
At the same time, Lu Ping's gradually lost respect for Blood Condensation Realm cultivators after killing the Sea Snake Demon last time was restored.
Compared to an ordinary Blood Condensation Realm cultivator, he was still far from it!
After calming down, Lu Ping knew that the most important thing now was to stay alive. As he sank to the bottom of the sea, Lu Ping quickly placed a few spirit-sealing talismans on his body, disguising himself as a dead body. At the same time, he stuffed two supreme-grade Vitality Recovery Pills worth a few hundred spirit stones into his mouth.
As expected, just as Lu Ping sank to the bottom of the sea, a divine sense slowly enveloped his body like a cold spring.
Lu Ping lay motionlessly on the bottom of the sea. The depth of the sea and the spirit-sealing talismans on his body tightly sealed all the spiritual energy fluctuations in Lu Ping's body.
Qiao Xipeng's Divine Sense flashed away, and Lu Ping heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he observed the fight on the sea through the Warning Talisman.
This was Lu Ping's first time witnessing a battle between Blood Condensation cultivators at such a close distance. It was a feast for his eyes, and at the same time, he felt that he had learned a lot. The sea snake demon's innate water element technique showed Lu Ping a whole new realm. Lu Ping felt that he wasn't too far away from this realm. This should be the realm of "Force".
Initially, Lu Ping wanted to use the voice transmission talisman that Master Immortal Liu left for him. Unfortunately, this talisman was crafted by a Blood Condensation Realm expert. If he activated it, the powerful energy fluctuations would definitely alert the two parties fighting on the surface of the sea. If that happened, Lu Ping would be killed before Master Immortal Liu and the others could arrive.
Lu Ping thought to himself that he couldn't pin all his hopes on playing dead. He had to make preparations in advance.
So, after thinking for a moment, he took out a few items from his storage pouch …
On the surface of the sea, the battle between the Green Sea Snake and Qiao Xipeng had reached a critical juncture. At this time, the spirit snake had suffered a few more wounds on its body. Its body was drenched in blood, dying the surrounding sea a light red.
The enraged Spirit Serpent once again began to churn the sea, but Qiao Xipeng only sneered with an excited expression. His hand was completely unaffected as he tightly surrounded the Spirit Serpent with his flying sword, searching for an opening.
The spirit snake's roar did not bring about a turning point. Instead, its anger made the spirit snake lose its cool. Qiao Xipeng took the opportunity to stab the spirit snake twice with his flying sword.
Seeing that the spirit snake was about to run out of magic power and was about to be killed, the cold eyes of the spirit snake suddenly revealed a look of reluctance and determination. These two feelings were originally contradictory, but they appeared very harmonious in the spirit snake's eyes.
The front half of the spirit snake's body suddenly stood up, and a dull sound came from its body. The spirit snake's body trembled rapidly, and it let out an earth-shattering roar of pain. The silver scales on its body were suddenly dyed with a layer of red. The wounds that had been soaked in seawater due to excessive blood loss suddenly turned red, and a large amount of blood began to ooze out. At the same time, the spirit snake's aura soared, and the magic power in its body surged, as if it had suddenly returned to its peak state.
The thick snake tail swept over and smashed against the magic shield protecting Qiao Xipeng's body, smashing the careless Qiao Xipeng into the sea.
When the pale-faced Qiao Xipeng flew out of the sea, the spirit snake's water element magic wrapped around the two magic tools and pushed away the sword light formed by Qiao Xipeng's flying sword bit by bit. The two magic tools continuously broke through the sword light's obstruction and attacked Qiao Xipeng. For a moment, Qiao Xipeng was caught off guard and was flustered.
Qiao Xipeng cried out in shock, "Self-detonating Condensed Blood Bead!" His voice was filled with panic and anger.
Lu Ping knew that self-detonating a Condensed Blood Bead was a very serious secret technique. The Condensed Blood Bead was the foundation of a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator. Every time a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator advanced, a Condensed Blood Bead would be condensed in their heart. Each Condensed Blood Bead was the source of a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator's magic power and the foundation of their cultivation.
Self-detonating a Condensed Blood Bead was the price of sacrificing the condensed Condensed Blood Bead in the heart in exchange for a temporary surge of magic power. It was a method to fight with one's life.
After self-detonating a few Condensed Blood Beads, one's cultivation would drop by a few layers. Furthermore, the damaged foundation would take several times longer to recover. Using this secret technique was equivalent to giving up on the possibility of improving one's cultivation in the future.
Although the spirit snake's counterattack was fierce, it was at a great disadvantage. Right now, it was only a tie. However, there was a time limit to the secret technique. Once the time limit was up, the spirit snake would be at Lu Ping's mercy.
Qiao Xipeng clearly understood this as well. He gradually calmed down from his previous panic. He didn't want to win, but he wanted to avoid making mistakes. He slowly dragged out the time.
The spirit snake roared angrily as Qiao Xipeng dragged out the time. The pressure on its body gradually weakened, and the despair in its eyes became more and more intense.
On the contrary, Qiao Xipeng was no longer as excited as when he was about to win.
Lu Ping thought about it and understood that Qiao Xipeng was not only here to avenge his brother, but also for the spirit snake's Condensed Blood Beads. Unfortunately, the spirit snake had used the secret technique, so he didn't know how many Condensed Blood Beads were left. Naturally, he felt depressed.
As Qiao Xipeng's flying sword pierced through the spirit snake's body, the exhausted spirit snake's huge body finally collapsed. It smashed into the sea, creating waves that were tens of feet high.
Only then did Qiao Xipeng show some joy. He used a spell and dragged the spirit snake's corpse to the reef island.
Qiao Xipeng used the flying sword to cut open the spirit snake's skin, revealing its heart. After cutting open the heart, two sparkling Condensed Condensed Blood Beads appeared. "Fortunately, it only self-detonated one Condensed Blood Bead."
At that moment, something strange happened. The originally dead spirit snake suddenly raised its head and stared coldly at Qiao Xipeng. Its eyes revealed complete madness.
Qiao Xipeng was startled and was at a loss. At that moment, a Condensed Blood Bead suddenly bounced up and flew towards Qiao Xipeng.
Qiao Xipeng seemed to suddenly understand something. He cried out and hurriedly raised his defensive shield. However, it was too late.
The Condensed Blood Bead shrank inwards and suddenly exploded. A red light exploded in all directions, causing half of the reef island to explode. The seawater was pushed back by the force of the explosion by tens of feet. Then, the seawater surged back and formed huge waves that were tens of feet high, like a tsunami.
