There were many ways to restrain snakes, such as Jiang Yuanchen's Cold Moon Sword Intent, Wei Gong's natural enemy, the Immortal Crane, and so on. However, the most basic method was still realgar and other herbs.
For this mission, Wei Gong specially brought fifteen kilograms of realgar from the sect, then mixed it with cinnabar, cockscomb blood, and other pure yang items to make several barrels of medicinal powder.
As the two of them arrived at the edge of the cold pond, Wei Gong directly used three puppet talismans to transform into paper dolls because he was wary of the snake demon's geographical advantage. He carried the water barrels filled with the snake's nemesis and sprinkled them around the pond.
As for Jiang Yuanchen, he took out bottles of medicinal pills from his cosmos bag, tested the water quality of the cold pond, and began to harmonize the poison in the cold pond.
Why was the Human race able to win against the demon race time and time again?
It wasn't that the Human race was too strong, but the Human race was too weak! In terms of toxicity, the Human race wasn't like the five poisons that had fatal toxins; in terms of bravery, the Human race couldn't compare to powerful beasts like tigers and leopards.
However, it was precisely because the Human race was weak that the Human race would walk the path of wisdom, using wisdom to fight against the various fierce beasts born in nature.
It was the same in the Immortal Dao. Many cultivators of the Human race, even if they learned the most basic demon subduing techniques, could still kill a demon that had cultivated for hundreds of years. They relied on all sorts of external forces to weaken the fairies and strengthen their own side's advantage.
Under the control of the three puppets, the medicinal powder drew a circle around the pond, and Jiang Yuanchen used the medicinal pills in his hands to harmonize the poison in the cold pond. The originally cold poison had been seriously deteriorated. Although it was still poisonous, it could no longer be the home field of the snake demon. In addition to the Flaming Sun Pill that Jiang Yuanchen threw in at the end, the water in the cold pond began to boil.
Bubbles continuously surged out, and a snake head the size of a bucket suddenly stretched out of the water, biting towards Jiang Yuanchen's head.
"Where is Tong Er?" Jiang Yuanchen saw the snake head bite down without fear, and a black light shot out from his sleeve into the air. Then, a dragon's roar sounded out from the book.
Even if the Book Essence Suan Ni was a pirated product, it was still evolved from a drop of True Dragon Blood. The pressure of the dragon's roar could naturally intimidate fish and snakes. In addition, the snake demon had a murderous nature, so it was restrained by the dragon's roar.
The snake demon's body stiffened in the water after the dragon 'roar, but then it suddenly transformed into a human form, counteracting the roar.
"A bunch of meddlesome human cultivators!" Snake Beauty's snake eyes stared at Jiang Yuanchen and the other man with a look of resentment.
The snake form refinement technique? Wei Gong's eyes flashed, and the White Crane that was on standby in the sky suddenly swooped down again. A beam of green light shot out from the White Crane's mouth, causing the Snake Demon, which had just taken human form, to sink back into the water. This green light was the Demon Suppressing Talisman that Wei Gong had prepared in advance. He wanted the white crane to strike the snake demon at the right time.
When the Ten Venerables saved the world, there were only three Venerables from the Human race, while the Demon race had five Heavenly Demon Great Sages. Although the five Demon Great Sages died in the war between humans and demons a thousand years later, the races that the five Demon Great Sages belonged to obtained their legacy and were ranked among the seven major races of the Demon race. The snake race was one of them, and the Heavenly Snake Form Refinement technique was a cultivation technique left behind by the Heavenly Snake Demon Saint.
Wei Gong threw out a fire talisman and ignited the realgar rings around him. Thick smoke filled the water, reducing the snake demon's power and blocking its path of retreat.
Inside the human skin book, Tao Wu revealed the little dragon man's appearance and said to Jiang Yuanchen, "Thirty-four human lives. She has at least thirty-four human lives on her back. As for the demon spirits that she has devoured, there are no less than a dozen."
"Bastard cultivator! I've been living in seclusion, and now you've come knocking on my door! "The water in the pond churned, and a green shadow could be vaguely seen. Because of the realgar, the snake demon did not dare to show up easily. It could only hide in the water and control the water. It turned into three water pillars and attacked Jiang Yuanchen, Wei Gong, and the white crane.
The water was poisonous. Wei Gong flicked his natal magic treasure, the golden bell, and the water pillar near him disappeared instantly. The scattered water droplets fell under his feet and corroded the ground. The white crane flew up in the sky and flapped its wings to avoid the water pillar that was aimed at it. Only Jiang Yuanchen smiled when he saw the water pillar coming. "With the Dao of Water, none of my senior brothers in the same sect dares to compete with me." Even poisonous water could not be of the five elements.
With a flip of his hand, the approaching water pillar turned into a white chain under the guidance of Jiang Yuanchen's transcendence energy. He pointed at the snake demon, and the white chain condensed into a water rope, trapping the snake demon.
However, the water rope was formed from the snake demon's venom, so it was quickly shaken off by the snake demon. However, the time that Jiang Yuanchen fought for was enough for Wei Gong to set up a demon-killing talisman formation.
The purple pentagram spun continuously, and the five talismans connected in the pentagram's position, suppressing the snake demon from above, not allowing it to move. Then, Wei Gong activated his transcendence energy and suddenly increased the strength of the talisman formation, pressing the snake demon firmly to the bottom of the water.
Another two lightning talismans were shot into the water by Wei Gong and stuck to the snake demon's body.
"Explode!" Wei Gong put his hands together, and a wave exploded from the bottom of the water, causing the whole pond to explode, and the pond water splashed everywhere.
"Senior Brother's methods are too ruthless." Jiang Yuanchen complained. With a wave of his sleeve, he controlled the water spell to condense the falling poisonous water into a barrier, protecting himself and Wei Gong from being corroded by the poisonous water. As for Bi An, it had already picked up its human skin book and ran to the back of the white crane in the sky.
"This snake demon seems to be too weak. It can't be compared to a demon in the Heart Stirring Stage." Jiang Yuanchen put away the human skin book. Even if they had made preparations to restrain the snake demon, why didn't this snake demon even use its natal demon flames? Also, its inner core was obviously lacking in vitality. If it was a one-on-one fight, Jiang Yuanchen was confident that he could win.
Wei Gong and Jiang Yuanchen were thinking the same thing. This snake demon was really too weak. Even if the Taixu Taoism disciples were generally outstanding in battle, how could this wild demon be so weak?
The blood spread across the surface of the lake, and something that looked like eggshell fragments floated up from the bottom of the water. Beneath the eggshell, one could vaguely see the egg liquid.
"She can't be giving birth, right?" Jiang Yuanchen said softly.
"She can kill living beings just to give birth? Although the reason is understandable, this kind of situation cannot be forgiven. "Wei Gong's expression was cold as he stared at the water.
This was the biggest difference between humans and demons. Even mortals wouldn't sacrifice themselves just to feed wild beasts, let alone cultivators who had ascended from mortals and demons who could communicate with wild beasts.
Because of this, most of the demons in the Spiritual State were grass, wood, mountain spirits, and docile animals. There were very few blood-eating demons like tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves.
"You — deserve — to — die!" An icy aura spread out from the water. Then, a huge green demon shot out from the water, and balls of Yin demon flames ignited on the surface of the water.
Seeing that its child was destroyed by the power of lightning, the snake demon didn't hold back anymore. Its eyes turned blood-red, and the smell of blood filled the air.
"This is the demon fire of the Heart Stirring Stage." Jiang Yuanchen took a step forward, and a silver-white spirit banner appeared in his hand. White cold air surged out from the banner, and ice started to form under Jiang Yuanchen's feet. Although the demon fire didn't completely dissipate because it was of the Yin attribute, it gradually weakened under the suppression of Jiang Yuanchen's magic power.
After all, she was injured in the collision with the earth veins three months ago. In addition, she had just given birth to the snake egg, and her vital energy was greatly weakened. Now, the demon fire didn't have enough vital energy to directly harm Jiang Yuanchen and Wei Gong.
"It's you! It's actually you!" The snake demon, who had been madly summoning the demon fire, suddenly froze when it saw the spirit banner in Jiang Yuanchen's hand. Then, it madly gathered the demon fire and burned toward Jiang Yuanchen.
"Junior Brother, watch out!" Although Wei Gong didn't understand what the snake demon meant, when he saw it attacking Jiang Yuanchen without any regard for its own life, he hurriedly ordered the white crane in the sky to peck at the snake's eyes.
It was also Jiang Yuanchen's bad luck. In the eyes of the Emerald Green Demon Snake, Jiang Yuanchen's figure overlapped with that of a Daoist cultivator wearing a five-cloud Daoist robe three months ago. The two of them were both wielding spirit banners, and they both had the aura of a Daoist cultivator. This immediately made the snake demon recall what happened three months ago. However, one of them used a spirit banner to freeze the pool, while the other used a spirit banner to kill the Mountain God. Then, he refined the Mountain God's corpse into a golden spirit banner.
"You killed the Mountain God and hurt my child. Are you still not going to let me go?" The snake demon's voice was shrill and miserable. Completely ignoring the various injuries caused by the white crane, it waved its tail and pounced toward Jiang Yuanchen.
Mountain God? She was actually a witness to this incident? Jiang Yuanchen was shocked. Just as he was about to stop, his expression suddenly changed.
This snake demon was actually going to self-destruct?
The demon fire raged and turned into countless fire snakes that trapped Jiang Yuanchen and Wei Gong. The two of them were surrounded by the poisonous flame tongues and could only save themselves. The white crane in the sky kept circling but didn't dare to land.
The snake demon looked at the demon fire that was fused with its natal venom and wrapped around Jiang Yuanchen. A hint of relief appeared in its heart.
"Finally, revenge —"
Suddenly, a silver moon rose from within the flames and completely froze the demon fire.
The cold moon hung high in the sky. Under the clear blue sky, the ice wheel landed on the pool. Then, a purple figure leaped out of the flames. Following that, a golden light flashed in front of the snake demon. Following that, the snake demon saw a pair of cloud boots standing in front of it …
The sound of the golden bell kept ringing. The flames surrounding Wei Gong were slowly extinguished by the power of the golden bell. When Wei Gong walked out of the flames, he saw that one of Jiang Yuanchen's hands was stabbed into the snake demon's body.
He saw that Jiang Yuanchen had a calm expression as he used the golden blade to circle around the snake demon's body. Then, a blood-stained inner core was dug out by Jiang Yuanchen. Then, he set up a restrictive spell and placed it in a jade box.
"The golden blade that Senior Brother Lin borrowed is indeed not bad. It only took one strike to break the snake demon's leather armor." Jiang Yuanchen's sleeve had long been corroded by the venom. His entire right arm was exposed and covered in blood. He spoke to Wei Gong with a smile on his face. He looked a little evil.
Wei Gong frowned. "Just now, the snake demon said that you killed the mountain god, but there's no way you could have killed the mountain god here. Then, it must have confused you with that person? I didn't expect this snake demon to have witnessed that incident. Unfortunately, she died a little too early. "
"Bi 'an, search the snake demon's soul and see if you can find anything." Jiang Yuanchen wiped the snake demon's blood off his right arm. Then, he refined an antidote pill and turned it into medicinal water to wash his right arm. Fortunately, Jiang Yuanchen had the Purple Cloud Treasured Robe to protect him. Ordinary water and fire couldn't hurt him. Even the True Fire of the Heart Stirring Stage could temporarily defend him.
Bi 'an rode the human skin book and descended from the sky. It circled around the snake corpse and a black gas was sucked into the book. After a while, the human skin book emitted a dark golden light. Bi' an actually used this opportunity to use the fruit of killing the snake demon to form the Punishing Evil Godhood.
