In fact, Lu Xiaotian retreated faster than both of them, and had already jumped into the cave. Seeing this speed of retreat, Jouans even doubted whether Lu Xiaotian had really defeated Luo Qian.
"Water Ball Technique!"
A few soft water balls hit the bodies of the dozen or so black snakes that were coming at them.
"Brother Lu, this Water Ball Technique is useless against demonic beasts." Zhu Yuchun, who was slightly slower to escape, quickly reminded him with a bitter smile in his heart.
But before Zhu Yuchun's voice fell, he was surprised to find that after Lu Xiaotian used the Water Ball Technique, he actually simultaneously released three small lightning balls that flickered with electric light. The lightning balls shot towards the opposite side. Although their speed was not fast, and if they were in an open area, it would be impossible for them to hit the snakes. But in a narrow space like the cave, the snakes simply had no way to escape.
Crackle … The narrow space was filled with the smell of burnt flesh from the electric light hitting the flesh. Combined with the Water Ball Technique from before, the lightning ball exploded in the middle of the group of snakes. A burst of electric arcs wreaked havoc. Although it did not cause any fatal damage to the group of snakes, the bodies of the dozen or so demon snakes leading the group were slightly paralyzed by the electric arcs. Just this slight pause was enough to determine victory or defeat in a battle of magical powers.
Lu Xiaotian put two fingers together, and the golden flying sword suddenly shot out, beheading the paralyzed black snakes one by one.
Zhu Yuchun and Jouans were both shocked, and at the same time, they were overjoyed as they controlled their flying swords and knives to kill the black snakes.
"I can't hold on any longer, it's your turn."
After killing more than ten black snakes in a row, including two third rank demonic snakes, the defensive spiritual barrier collapsed under the corrosion of the black snakes' venom, and Lu Xiaotian directly withdrew.
Zhu Yuchun and Jouans looked at each other, and tacitly understood and retreated at the same time with Lu Xiaotian. They were not rookies who had just started cultivating. The purer their magical powers, the less potential they consumed when using magical powers compared to cultivators of the same level, and the more powerful they were. The two of them still had strength to spare. Not to mention that Lu Xiaotian's magic was almost perfect. His consumption would only be lower than theirs. Moreover, Lu Xiaotian had just exchanged two low-grade spirit stones.
However, with so many snakes, it was impossible for them to kill all of them. In just a few moments, the three of them had already killed more than ten black snakes, which was a pretty good result. There was no need to waste extra energy to do other people's work. In this perilous forbidden area, it was only right to maintain an abundance of magic power at all times.
When he retreated, Zhu Yuchun looked at the cultivators of Mystic Ice Sect provocatively. Yin Yimu and the others were unhappy, but there was nothing they could do about the other party's battle record. It seemed that the person who dared to talk back to Senior Brother Meng did have some skill. However, if he thought that he could contend against an elite disciple with a low tier magic spell, he would definitely let him know the difference between heaven and earth. Yin Yimu waved his hand hatefully, and the three disciples of Mystic Ice Sect took the place of Lu Xiaotian's retreat.
In order to not embarrass Mystic Ice Sect, the three disciples Yin Yimu sent out were quite strong. One of the female cultivators with an oval face even released a Yellow Centipede. Centipedes were the natural enemies of snakes. At one point, it caused the snakes to panic. However, there was only one Yellow Centipede. It valiantly bit six or seven snakes to death, including a third-grade demon snake. After being besieged by the snakes, it retreated with light injuries.
The oval faced female cultivator proudly glared back at Zhu Yuchun and Lu Xiaotian, trying to regain some of her dignity. Zhu Yuchun also did not expect that the other party would have such a rare spiritual beast. He could not help but touch his nose. On the other hand, Lu Xiaotian glanced at the Yellow Centipede. The moment the other party withdrew the spiritual puppet, he closed his eyes and meditated again. The oval faced female cultivator gloomily asked for a rebuff.
The number of snake corpses in the stone cave continued to increase. The two sides alternated in shifts. This also prevented the snakes from constantly attacking. The two sides were secretly competing. Sometimes, the cultivators of Divine Firmament Palace fought beautifully. Sometimes, the Mystic Ice Sect had the upper hand. Both sides would show off with complacent expressions.
There was a youth surnamed Xiong from the Mystic Ice Sect who was quite skilled in magic. He wanted to imitate Lu Xiaotian and use the combination of the Water Ball and the Thunder Strike Technique, which was quite effective. He wanted to paralyze the leading group of snakes and then kill them with a thunderous attack. Previously, he saw that Lu Xiaotian could cast it easily, so he went forward to try it himself. After throwing the Water Ball, he immediately cast the Thunder Strike Technique.
But in the process of casting, the youth surnamed Xiong realized how difficult it was to smoothly cast such a seemingly simple magic in such a short time. He was only halfway through casting the Thunder Strike Technique when the snakes were already in front of him. Originally, it should have been three cultivators killing the snakes together, but because of his magic, it became two against one. The other two disciples were flustered and had no way to deal with it. And because he was nervous, he was almost hit by the wind blades of the snakes. In a moment of desperation, he lost control of the Thunder Strike Technique and accidentally injured the two disciples next to him. The dozens of wind blades released by the snakes directly cut one of them into several pieces, while the other lost an arm. However, the youth surnamed Xiong was rescued by Yin Yimu, who saw that the situation was not good.
After this, everyone's expression changed when they looked at Lu Xiaotian. Only now did they realize that this seemingly simple and extremely effective magic attack was not something that other cultivators could easily use.
After a few rounds, the number of snakes in the stone cave increased. Towards the end, the situation became much more difficult for the cultivators of the two sects. When it was difficult for everyone to maintain the situation, Oh Yeon released the highest quality spiritual net to block the surging snakes. Only then did the two small groups of cultivators withdraw from the stone cave one after another. Then, it was Luo Qian and Su Qing's group, as well as the group of Mystic Ice Sect's Meng Yu.
After repeating this several times, the number of snakes in the cold pond became fewer and fewer. Lu Xiaotian estimated that after one or two more rounds, the snakes in the cold pond would be completely wiped out. If there were no accidents, they would be able to smoothly harvest the Violet Gauze Ginseng. When the cultivators of the two sects saw that success was in sight, they all became happy.
"You guys go in, I'm not going. It's so boring to always fight a few snakes. Besides, even if I don't go in once, the number of snakes I kill will not be less than anyone else here."
When Lu Xiaotian, Oh Yeon, and the others came out of the stone cave once again, the pampered and spoiled young lady Su Qing directly gave up, not intending to go in again. In the beginning, she still had a bit of a playful attitude, but after a few rounds, she had to repeatedly fight with countless snakes. Moreover, the number of snakes she killed in the stone cave was too great, filling the air with the unpleasant smell of blood. After a long time, Su Qing could not bear it anymore.
Lu Xiaotian, Oh Yeon, and the others turned a blind eye. Luo Qian's expression also showed a trace of embarrassment. After all, except for Su Qing who was the descendant of Jin Dan's Ancestor, the other elite disciples at most only had the backing of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator. They had to rely on their own efforts to obtain the Foundation-laying Pill. Even Luo Qian was the same.
"That's good too. Junior Sister Su's body is priceless, so we can only work a little longer. Besides, your Divine Firmament Palace has three core disciples, and we only have two. Speaking of which, we are taking advantage of you. In that case, Junior Sister Su can rest outside the stone cave. "Meng Yu pretended to be generous.
