Lu Zhou's sword had struck the flying serpent's vitals. At the same time, he had infuriated it.
For a Divine Ferocious Beast that was on par with the North Star Continent, this sword could only slash through one of its hearts.
The enraged Soaring Serpent's entire body glowed with a red light. It stirred up the wind and clouds as it swept around madly.
The mountains and rivers couldn't bear the burden. Countless towering trees were broken, and the mountain peaks were cut in half.
Some of the beasts that couldn't dodge in time died under the Soaring Serpent's sweep.
In front of it, those vicious beasts were no different from ants, dying horribly.
Lu Zhou retracted his energy swords and unleashed his greater teleportation power. He kept retreating to avoid being hit.
Great Emperor Shang Zhang soared into the air and took advantage of the momentum to arrive above the soaring serpent. He looked down at the ground and growled, "Beast, this emperor wants your life!"
The impossibly tall Dharmakaya descended from the sky.
The lotus seat smashed heavily into the Soaring Serpent's body. Hong, the Soaring Serpent was severely wounded, and it tumbled through the air, unable to enter the Thousand Darkness Tower.
"Be careful, it'll fight to the death," Emperor Shang Zhang warned.
Lu Zhou shot into the air with Unnamed in his grasp.
Unnamed left his palm.
It floated in front of him.
Dao begets One, One begets Two, Two begets Three, Three begets All Things, All Things bear Yin and embrace Yang.
Under Lu Zhou's control, the energy swords shot toward the flying serpent in the distance like a tidal wave.
Lu Zhou's control over the energy swords was impeccable. Each of the energy swords was imbued with the power of heaven.
Now, the power of the Heavenly Aspect no longer ran out, and it was almost endless. This caused his energy swords to become even more powerful. Faint blue electric arcs appeared on each of his energy swords.
Emperor Shang Zhang wasn't blind. When he saw that deep blue arc of lightning appear, he was shocked. "The power of the earth?"
This was even more consistent with his previous conjecture.
The old man had indeed obtained some sort of opportunity in the Abyss.
It was this fortuitous encounter that made it difficult for Great Emperor Shang Zhang to gauge Lu Zhou's strength.
Apart from the power of the earth, there was also a small amount of dangerous aura on some of the astral swords. It was difficult to determine what kind of power this dangerous aura was.
It was like the power of the Dao formed by the rules, but also like the power of the earth.
Emperor Shang Zhang sighed in admiration. "I didn't expect Old Sir's methods to be so astonishing."
Lu Zhou continued to manipulate Unnamed.
Buzz — Buzz —
"Hmm?"
Lu Zhou sensed something different about the power of the heavenly form. He was puzzled. 'The power of the Heavenly Dao?
The energy swords became sharper.
Under his precise control, the energy swords struck the flying serpent's wounds repeatedly.
They weaved back and forth like this.
Great Emperor Shang Zhang watched from the sidelines. When he saw this scene, he felt that it was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"The Soaring Serpent has a powerful regenerative ability and can heal wounds in an instant. The power of heaven and earth is indeed extraordinary, "Great Emperor Shang Zhang said.
The ground caved in.
Circling in the sky.
His mouth opened wide, as if the dome was splitting open!
Blood rained down!
The blood droplets that filled the sky were like bright red flames, beautiful and alluring.
Great Emperor Shang Zhang said, "Let's avoid it first!"
With a whoosh, Great Emperor Shang Zhang was the first to disappear and reappear ten thousand meters away. With his eyesight, it was easy for him to clearly see what was happening ten thousand meters away.
He saw Lu Zhou did not leave. Instead, Lu Zhou was looking at the sky.
Frowning, he sent a voice transmission, "Old Mister Ji, this is the poison of the Soaring Serpent's blood essence. It's best to avoid it!"
"There's no need to worry."
When the blood rain fell from the sky and was about to touch Lu Zhou, it automatically evaded and evaporated.
Great Emperor Shang Zhang exclaimed, "Eh?"
He raised his hand and directed Primal Qi to his eyes.
At this moment, Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back. He did not use any Primal Qi to defend himself.
"How did he do that?" Great Emperor Shang Zhang was shocked.
Even he himself had to use his powerful Protective Dipper Qi to block the poison of the essence blood when facing the Soaring Serpent's blood rain. This blood poison was extremely corrosive. It was no weaker than the power of the great dao.
This was one of the Soaring Serpent's trump cards.
The best choice was to avoid it for now and fight it later. He did not know why Lu Zhou would do this.
He took a closer look.
Great Emperor Shang Zhang's eyesight was at its peak.
He noticed Lu Zhou's robe was fluttering in the wind.
"This robe?"
Great Emperor Shang Zhang wanted to take a closer look, but he was too far away. The blood rain was too heavy. He could only give up.
He saw a faint glow on the robe, which disappeared in a flash.
At this moment, the people from Shang Zhang Hall rushed over. When they saw Shang Zhang, who looked like a Daoist child, they stepped forward.
"Little friend, stay away."
"It's dangerous here."
'Hm?'
Great Emperor Shang Zhang stood with his hands on his back. He turned around and glared at the others.
The leader of the cultivators from Shang Zhang Hall found Great Emperor Shang Zhang's attitude interesting. He smiled and said, "That's a Holy Beast … Do you have a death wish?"
"Impudent!" the Daoist child shouted.
"Oh, what a temper."
"Little brother, do you know who we are? We're here on Great Emperor Shang Zhang's orders to help Xuan Pin eradicate the Holy Beasts. Don't take our kindness for granted. "
“???”
Great Emperor Shang Zhang's expression was solemn as he said, "You have eyes but failed to see! “
These words stung the people from Shang Zhang Hall. They were just about to demand justice when Imperial Lord Xuan Pin led the others over.
They flew to the others and looked at the Soaring Serpent that was flying into the sky and raining blood.
"Lord Imperial Lord, we're here on His Majesty's orders to lend you a hand," the leader of the cultivators from Shang Zhang Hall said.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
"As expected of an Imperial Lord. His vision and vision aren't something ordinary people can compare to," the leader of Shang Zhang Hall said.
Li Chun was puzzled. "What's wrong?"
One of them said in a low voice, "We came to help Xuan Pin out of goodwill, but this Daoist child said we were blind. How preposterous. "
"Is that so?" Li Chun frowned.
Dao Saint Li Chun turned to look at the Daoist child and asked, "Did you really say that?"
The Daoist child was stunned.
More importantly, he was still standing with his hands behind his back and his back ramrod straight.
This posture was no different from Imperial Lord Xuan Pin's. They were both high-ranking cultivators.
"Look at that attitude!" The people from Shang Zhang Hall were even more displeased.
Dao Saint Li Chun tugged at the Daoist child and said, "Quick, apologize to our friends."
"Apologize?" The Daoist child frowned.
You want me to apologize to these useless bastards?
Cough …
The Daoist child heaved a sigh of relief. He almost lost his temper on the spot.
"Hm?" Li Chun's voice was drawn out. She looked at the Daoist child suspiciously. "Even if you're Old Mister Lu's man, you shouldn't do this."
The Daoist child ignored her.
Li Chun continued, "Otherwise, we'll expel you from Xuan Pin."
Leave Xuan Pin?
Doesn't that mean I can't see Conch?
That won't do!
The Daoist child looked at the people from Shang Zhang Hall. 'Forget it. My reputation isn't important.'
"My apologies."
The Daoist child cupped his fists at the people from Shang Zhang Hall.
"It's a small matter." The people from Shang Zhang Hall were not unreasonable.
The others focused their attention on the soaring serpent in the sky.
When Imperial Lord Xuan Pin saw Lu Zhou was unaffected by the blood rain, he nodded slightly. This was his master's Heavenly Scar Robe. Under these circumstances, the robe's special characteristics were fully unleashed.
Rumor had it that the Heavenly Scar Robe was woven from the Holy Dragon's tendons. Before the Holy Dragon, the soaring serpent was like a worm. It was only natural for it to retreat.
Everything in the world had a counter to each other.
How could a worm be compared to a dragon?
Whizz!
Lu Zhou held Unnamed in his hand. Instead of retreating, he charged toward the sky.
"Pavilion Master Lu!" Imperial Lord Xuan Pin said with a frown.
"This is …"
The Daoist child understood what was going on.
He explained, "He's attacking the soaring serpent's vitals while it's casting the blood rain."
"Those who are skilled are bold!"
The blood rain continued to pour. Their vision was blurry.
Lu Zhou transformed into a streak of light and shot through the blood rain.
There was a loud buzzing sound as an energy sword shot into the sky. Lightning arcs and the power of the Heavenly Dao erupted with a single thought.
The powerful energy sword pierced the soaring serpent's throat and back before it shot into the sky!
Puff!
The blood rain stopped.
In its place, the soaring serpent's heavily injured blood flowed down the energy sword like a blood-red waterfall.
"He did it?!"
The others exclaimed in shock.
At this moment, the others finally saw the soaring serpent's face.
Its body was mottled like the bark of an ancient tree. Its eyes were like black pearls that were as large as the sun and moon.
Its four claws gleamed with a cold light. They were tens of thousands of feet long as they fell from the sky like thick vines that stretched into the heavens.
From 10,000 meters away, it was a majestic sight.
The soaring serpent rode the mist and was reduced to dust.
As the mist gradually dissipated, everyone's vision became clearer.
The energy sword accurately struck the soaring serpent's vitals. It pierced its throat and head all the way to the back of its head instead of its back.
Lu Zhou raised Unnamed. His energy formed an umbrella-like barrier that blocked the blood rain.
For a time, the world was silent again. The battle was over.
"What a precise attack."
"So, it's a soaring serpent and not a Winged Dragon."
"That's the soaring serpent's weakest spot. It's also its vitals."
Naturally, defeating a Holy Murderer was not as easy as the others thought.
Prior to this, the two Paragons had ganged up on the soaring serpent for a long time and heavily injured it. Moreover, one of its hearts had been pierced, rendering it defenseless.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult for the sword to pierce the soaring serpent.
At this moment, Lu Zhou raised Unnamed.
"Rise!"
Swoosh!
Unnamed slashed upward and decapitated the soaring serpent's head.
Lu Zhou swung his sword.
Up, down, left, and right. Every strike was filled with power as it ruthlessly tore open the soaring serpent's chest.
"Heavenly Soul Pearl."
A sparkling Heavenly Soul Pearl flew out of the soaring serpent's chest and toward Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou put the Heavenly Soul Pearl away and Unnamed.
The soaring serpent that was tens of thousands of feet long collapsed with a loud boom.
The mountains and rivers shook violently.
The soaring serpent was dead!
Lu Zhou turned around. In just a few breaths, he appeared before the others.
Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin cupped his fists and said, "Congratulations, Pavilion Master Lu! We have returned victorious! "
"Congratulations!"
"I didn't expect Xuan Ke to have such an expert!" Everyone in the Upper Chapter Hall exclaimed in surprise.
Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin could not help but feel proud. He took the opportunity to tease, "Although the friends in the previous chapter did not do their best, I appreciate your kind intentions. Go back and tell Great Emperor Shang Zhang to worry more about himself. Don't go running to Xuan Pin for no reason. "
The Dao child: "?"
How could the people of the Hall of Order not understand the meaning behind these words?
They were just following orders and were really here to help.
These words made them a little unhappy, but they didn't dare to say anything. They could only nod and say, "If that's the case, then we'll take our leave."
The people of the Upper Order Hall flew into the distance.
Li Chun rolled her eyes at the backs of the people of Shangzhang Hall and said, "Why did that old man Shangzhang think of helping us? One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. We have to be on guard. "
Emperor Xuan Pin said.
"No matter what his goal is, we have to be careful."
"Yes."
The child was speechless.
Lu Zhou said, "I've captured the Soaring Serpent. The rest are yours."
Lu Zhou's words implied that the Heavenly Soul Pearl belonged to him. No one could have it.
Emperor Xuan Pin said, "Thank you, Pavilion Master Lu. Pack this up. "
The Xuan Pin elites flew toward the Soaring Serpent's corpse.
Although the Soaring Serpent was dead, its body was a treasure. They could bring it back and put it to good use. It would be a great resource.
The Dao child said, "Old mister, your robes …"
"Mind your status," Emperor Xuan Pin reminded the Dao child.
His tone was calm.
The Dao child could only nod. "You're right, Imperial Emperor."
'Old man Xuan Pin, I'll let you have your way for now … I'll endure it!'
Emperor Xuan Pin said, "It's all thanks to you, Pavilion Master Lu. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"This is only a Soaring Serpent, not a Winged Dragon. You're just being deceived by it. "
"I didn't expect a Soaring Serpent to appear in Xuan Pin."
"Why is it here?" Zhang He flew over.
"The Thousand Darkness Tower is suppressing a Winged Dragon's weapon. Perhaps, it wants to take the weapon and become a true dragon. It's ambitious, "Emperor Xuan Pin said.
Li Chun said,
"That weapon has sunk into the Thousand Darkness Tower for who knows how many years. I'm afraid it's long gone. It's really stubborn."
"Speaking of which, where did Ying Long go?" Zhang He asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
No one knew where Ying Long had gone.
Emperor Xuan Pin said, "Rumor has it that Ying Long used its supreme power to protect the earth and disappeared. No one knows where it went. "
"I'm afraid we'll have to ask the Sacred Sanctum, or perhaps the Great Abyss Offering should know," Li Chun said.
Emperor Xuan Pin said, "Since the Saint Murderer has been dealt with, let's return."
"Yes."
Lu Zhou did not want to stay here for too long. He flew into the distance as well.
Meanwhile.
In the Sanctum.
After a period of agitation, the Scales of Justice calmed down.
Hua Zhenghong, who was at the side, nodded. Then, she turned around and performed a cupped-fist salute. "Hall Master, it has been stabilized. From the looks of it, it's Xuan Ke's Holy Beast. "
Great Emperor Ming Xin nodded slightly and said, "Recently, Imperial Emperor Xuanpin has become a Great Emperor. If necessary, invite him to the Sacred Palace for a chat."
"A Grand Emperor?"
"With his cultivation base as a Grand Emperor, it shouldn't be a problem for him to deal with an ordinary Saint Murderer. If he's able to become a heaven supreme or a Great Emperor, he might be able to contribute to the balance of the Great Void, "Emperor Ming Xin said.
Hua Zhenghong nodded and said, "You're wise, Your Majesty. It's a pity that Zhan Meng's Wu Ancestor is too insensible. He's secretly trying to break the shackles and destroy the balance of the world. "
Emperor Ming Xin said,
"Where's Qi Sheng?"
"I don't know what he's busy with. In my opinion, Your Majesty has given him too much freedom, "Hua Zhenghong said.
Emperor Ming Xin ignored Hua Zhenghong's suggestion. Instead, he said, "I want to see him."
"Understood."
Hua Zhenghong had no choice but to leave the Sacred Palace. When she was outside, Emperor Ming Xin's voice rang again. "Summon Zhu Honggong."
"Understood."
