"One is gravely injured. Even his black membrane has been broken. The other is so weak that he doesn't even look like a Snake. How are the two of you going to stop me? "
Lu Sheng walked slowly towards Ye Moling in the water.
With a loud splash, water splashed everywhere. Ye Moling dashed out. Using the water as cover, he curled up into a ball and pounced at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng gripped his saber with one hand and slashed horizontally.
This slash split apart all the water splashes in front of him. However, Ye Moling nimbly dodged the saber and closed in on him.
"BAM!!"
Ye Moling's palm landed squarely on Lu Sheng's chest. But all the force of his palm strike was blocked by the thick carapace. Before he could sense the outcome, a dangerous threat loomed over him. He hastily dodged.
"SWISH!" A silver line appeared and landed horizontally where he was a second ago.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Although Ye Moling dodged in time, he was still a beat too slow. His arms and neck were nearly severed in half. Thin lines of blood appeared.
His face pale, he dodged frantically. In the blink of an eye, he had covered dozens of meters and was standing by the riverbank. He turned back to look at Lu Sheng.
This terrifying monster was stepping into the water step by step.
Half of his calves were submerged in the water. The spikes on his back were like flags. The saber in his hands was covered in cracks and could shatter at any moment. However, it was held in place by an invisible force, maintaining its blade form.
"KILL!!" Scarlet District Mistress shot out from the side like a cannonball. The translucent saber in her hand slashed towards Lu Sheng with an intense red glow.
The red glow swept up huge waves, forming a tidal wave that covered an area of more than ten meters.
"SPLASH!!!"
Huge waves crashed into Lu Sheng.
"BAM!!"
Lu Sheng raised his saber with his right hand and accurately blocked the saber blade in the waves.
"A futile struggle." His saber flashed. Driven by an unparalleled explosive force, a terrifying force struck Scarlet District Mistress squarely in the face.
It was as if Scarlet District Mistress had been struck by lightning. Her entire body bent from the immense impact and she fell into the water with a loud crash.
Ye Moling knew that he could not afford to stop. Once the other party seized the opportunity to finish off Scarlet District Mistress, it would be the end of him.
Seeing that Lu Sheng was about to slash down with his saber, Lu Sheng's eyes widened.
He roared with all his might and rushed forward again.
Scarlet District Mistress heaved a sigh of relief and charged forward with a furious roar. Both of them knew that this was a critical moment. Even with their combined strength, they could barely hold their own against their opponent. If one of them were to be defeated prematurely, the curtains would fall on this battle.
Lu Sheng had not expected Scarlet District Mistress to still be able to maintain such a level of combat strength despite being severely injured to the point where she barely had a tenth of her original strength.
Yet, Ye Moling still had such a strong will to fight.
Although the two of them weren't much of a threat to him, they could rely on their strong self-healing abilities to quickly recover as long as more than 70% of their bodies weren't destroyed in one go. If he wanted to kill them, he had to at least completely destroy their physical bodies.
However, wasn't this better?
Lu Sheng felt an inexplicable sense of excitement and joy in his heart.
How long had it been since he had fought to his heart's content like this? Wary of this and that. No matter how powerful he was, he dared not indulge himself completely.
The opportunity to fight to his heart's content like this was simply too rare. It was so rare that he treasured every minute and every second of it.
He felt that he was born to fight!
Fighting was like his blood, and pain was like the embellishment on his delicacies. All of his desires could be satisfied in this battle to the death.
"CLANG!! "BAM!!"
Blocking Ye Moling's charge with his saber, Lu Sheng sent him flying with an elbow strike. He watched as Ye Moling smashed into the gigantic Sky Slit like a cannonball.
Gravel fell and rolled into the river, creating ripples on the surface of the river.
"What a pity …" Lu Sheng blocked Scarlet District Mistress's two consecutive slashes with a single hand. Then, he rammed his shoulder into Scarlet District Mistress's face. Then, he spun around and lashed out with a leg whip.
"BOOM!"
Scarlet District Mistress was smashed into the river for the umpteenth time. Unlike the previous few times, this time, she tried hard to get up again.
However, her injuries were so severe that even moving her body was an extravagant hope. Vast amounts of Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies inner Qi were wreaking havoc in her body, suppressing her regenerative abilities and burning away her muscles and internal organs that were trying to regenerate.
Her internal organs had ruptured and she had lost more than eighty percent of her blood in the battle. Her muscles and tendons were ruptured in large areas, and several of her major bones were shattered.
There was even a blood-red crack on her forehead. Through the crack, one could see the wriggling brain matter inside.
An ordinary person would have died countless times over from Scarlet District Mistress's injuries. But to a Snake realm expert, this was merely a minor injury that could be healed over time. The real problem was the strange, blazing energy wreaking havoc in her body.
However, Lu Sheng did not finish her off immediately. Instead, he walked towards Ye Moling, who was similarly immobilized and embedded in the stone wall.
To him, Ye Moling, a Manor Lord with his full strength, should be the first opponent to be dealt with. As for Scarlet District Mistress, she was poisoned. The longer this dragged on, the weaker she would become.
Walking up to Ye Moling, Lu Sheng stretched out his hand.
"Pa."
Gripping the other party's neck, he plucked him out of the stone wall.
"If not for my injuries …" Ye Moling's mouth was full of blood as he struggled to speak hatefully. When he was chased out of the Northern Lands, his injuries had severely affected his strength. That was the real reason why he was weaker than the average black snake.
"If I were at my full strength, you'd be the one to lose … ARGH!!!" Before Ye Moling could finish, he was scorched by the blazing Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies inner Qi. Waves of invisible flames burst out from his body.
Large amounts of water vapor and blood evaporated, dispersing into smoke from the top of his head.
His body writhed like a prawn in the air, but he could not break free from Lu Sheng's iron-like grip.
Black snakes were indeed strong. But no matter how strong their regenerative abilities were, they still needed time to recover. Before recovering, black snakes were no different from ordinary Bind realm cultivators.
Their bones were broken, but they could not support themselves. Their muscles were torn, and they had no strength.
Just the short period of time required for recovery was enough for Lu Sheng to kill him countless times over.
To the current Lu Sheng, the transformed Extreme Yang Dao body would grant him greater speed and strength to tear apart his opponent's body.
On the other hand, the Yang-attribute skill, which was highly lethal against demons and ghosts, would allow him to inflict the greatest amount of damage after tearing apart his opponent's defenses.
"Let him go!!" Scarlet District Mistress crawled to her feet once more. She could tell that the situation was dire. The translucent red saber in her hand glowed brighter and brighter.
That was also why Lu Sheng did not touch her for the time being. The saber seemed to be on the verge of exploding at any moment.
Therefore, he decided to deal with her slowly after dealing with other potential threats.
Lu Sheng ignored her. In his hand, Ye Moling was screaming in agony. Large amounts of blood were evaporating, and his flesh was withering and charring at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was as if he was turning into a dried corpse.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, he felt something amiss. He raised his other hand and realized that he could not move his body.
"Ink Lock!!" Suddenly, Ye Moling's eyes snapped open. A puff of pitch-black smoke shot out from his mouth and wrapped around Lu Sheng's waist.
"DO IT!!!" he roared.
Scarlet District Mistress struggled to raise her saber. The red light on the blade shone blindingly.
"Phantom Spirit Five Slashes!!!" She channeled all her strength into the saber's blade and leaped into the air. The light on the blade was like a miniature sun. In the blink of an eye, she traversed dozens of meters and landed viciously on the motionless Lu Sheng.
"CLANG!!
"BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!!"
The river water exploded, fanning out behind Lu Sheng, sending up dozens of white water pillars over ten meters high.
Large amounts of water vaporized by the intense heat, turning into white mist that shrouded the surroundings.
The mist grew thicker and thicker until one could not even see their own fingers.
Just then.
"BOOM!!"
Within the fog, Scarlet District Mistress let out a tragic cry and was sent flying.
A tall figure walked out of the thick mist. It was none other than Lu Sheng. Ye Moling's fate was unknown. He held him up single-handedly, swaying from side to side without a sound.
"What a stunning slash." Lu Sheng sighed in admiration. He touched the wound on the left side of his chest. There was a finger-deep dent on the carapace there. That was where Scarlet District Mistress had struck him with all her might.
"What a pity that I'm now one with Yin and Yang. Blood Net and Yin Crane Net are fused together. I'm flawless both inside and out. Even such a stunning slash can only leave such a mark."
"The farce ends here," Lu Sheng tossed Ye Moling to the ground before him. "After killing him, it's your turn."
His saber smashed downwards.
With a loud boom, more than half of Ye Moling's body was smashed into smithereens. He had already lost too much blood. Now that he was smashed into smithereens, he burst into flames like a human-shaped torch. Lying on the wetlands of the One-Line Sky, he curled up and was charred black.
A Black Snake-ranked Lord Prefect of a generation had died in the wilderness just like that without even knowing why. Apart from Scarlet District Mistress and umbrella girl, no one else knew.
After that slash, Scarlet District Mistress was completely drained and drained of energy. She lay on the surface of the river, bobbing and sinking along with the water, motionless.
Lu Sheng walked up to her. He glanced at umbrella girl, who was equally silent in the distance. Then, he focused his gaze on the saber in Scarlet District Mistress's hand.
The shard of red light on the saber hilt was so beautiful and alluring that he could not resist it. That pure red light seemed to be able to mesmerize one's gaze.
"This is the Scarlet Dragon Tribulation shard?" With Yingying as his spy, Lu Sheng naturally knew what it was. Curiously, he reached for the saber hilt.
"Are you really willing to give up everything in exchange for power?"
"I'm willing."
Suddenly, a deep voice rang out beside him. He saw Scarlet District Mistress suddenly open her eyes. Two balls of dancing flames burned in her pupils.
An intense, indescribable burning sensation washed over him.
"BOOM!!"
In the blink of an eye, Lu Sheng's massive body was sent flying by the huge explosion. With a loud boom, he crashed into the One-Line Sky.
The entire left wall of the One-Line Sky shook violently from the terrifying explosion and impact. Large pieces of rubble fell into the water.
"I AM THE STRONGEST!!" Scarlet District Mistress stood up once more. Scarlet flames blazed all around her, emanating from within her body.
"THE STRONGEST!?" Lu Sheng pulled himself out of the wall. "No, I'm the strongest. I'm the strongest!!"
"SWISH!!"
Almost at the same time, the two of them vanished into thin air. Like two beams of light, they collided violently.
There was no earth-shattering explosion. Scarlet and invisible flames tangled with one another. The battle between Lu Sheng and Scarlet District Mistress was far more intense than before.
