Wet viviparity

Chapter 837 Not Bad, Dual-Handed Sword
After the snake's tail twisted and shot out, Hong Gu intended to pull it back immediately, but unexpectedly, the snake's tail was weak and powerless, and was restrained by a kind of righteous force.

Under this supremely righteous power, the demonic magic on the snake's tail was rapidly penetrated and purified, like boiling water poured on snow. The Bingding True Flame covering the tail tip inevitably dripped down like dew rolling on a lotus leaf. At this moment, the Taiping Warrior within the golden light fearlessly embraced the snake's tail.

The next moment, when her bewitching eyes beneath the thin veil saw the two swords tossed in front of Master Lingxu, her heart seemed to leap into her throat.

"Roar!"

With a sharp whistle, his long, black hair cascaded down like flames, and his snake tail suddenly lashed back. In an instant, it was as if mountains and rivers were being pulled, and the entire thousand-acre Poison Yang Fiend Cave trembled. It turned out that the two hundred-plus Taiping Warriors had taken root under their feet and held on tightly to the snake tail, stubbornly resisting the sudden force of the lash.

"Ah~"

Amidst its hissing and howling, and with each powerful pull of its tail, the sound of leg bones cracking finally rang out.

The Taiping Warriors' faces turned red. Even though their legs, which were rooted to the ground, had been torn off by the immense force, they still clung tightly to the snake's tail with both hands. Even though some of the Taiping Warriors were already deathly pale and their eyes were blank, they still did not let go as they were dying.

May God bless peace!

The warriors' booming voices rang out.

"Haha, how dare you stop me!"

Hong Gu's wild voice immediately drowned out Hong Yin's.

"cut."

The calm voice pierced through like a sword, instantly silencing the frenzied shouts.

Her calm eyes focused on the person whose primordial spirit was highly concentrated. The twin swords that had been spinning and falling in front of that person disappeared in response, vanishing into thin air within her powerful primordial spirit perception. A tenth of a second!
In Hong Gu's perception, her primordial spirit power seemed to be cut apart by an invisible, absolutely sharp thread.

The protective demonic light, the flowing veil, the tough snake scales, and even the snake tail wrapped around the burning branches of the paulownia tree, all felt no impact, yet they all broke in half, the broken surfaces as smooth as mirrors, as if they were born to be in two.

"Ugh!"

Hong Gu let out a short, sharp cry of pain as her beautiful head was separated from the snake's body, which had been cut into several pieces.

The thin veil covering her face rippled violently for the first time, and beads of blood seeped from the skin of the distorted beauty beneath, forming a cross that divided her face into four pieces. The four pieces of her face quickly slid apart.

Ji Ming sat upright on the lotus platform, the two swords already back on his lap.

The heat on the swords was even greater than that of a branding iron, making the two swords shine like two red flames, turning Ji Ming's face red, like a fierce god or demon. At this moment, the pair of eyes on this god-like face were staring at the slain demon.

The four faces, precisely severed by the cross-shaped sword marks, should have slid off like shattered porcelain. However, right at the edge of this collapse—on the four face pieces—a vivid expression appeared.

"Brave and fearless!"

Looking at Hong Gu's expression, Ji Ming had only one feeling: his calm face was gone, and he was shocked by the fierce demon's strong will.

The four fragments of the face, which had already separated slightly, were forcibly pulled by invisible threads, stopping abruptly halfway in a manner contrary to common sense, and then reassembling themselves as if reversing the flow of time.

But Ji Ming knew that it was not a true reversal of the cosmic light, but rather a surge of his primordial spirit and demonic magic driven by absolute will, a struggle against an imminent death. At this moment, he possessed an indescribable, extremely tyrannical will that turned the deadly situation around.

The cross-shaped bloodstains blurred and faded at a visible speed, and in just a few breaths, the alluring yet distorted face was pieced back together.

Those demonic eyes burned with a flame even more intense and frenzied than before, fixed intently on Ji Ming on the lotus platform.

"Hehe. Interesting!"

Her voice was no longer languid or shrill, but possessed a strange magnetism: "A mere sword strike dares to shake my indestructible body?! This body is no longer a mortal being; even if it shatters into a thousand pieces, it can be reassembled in an instant."

"The Samadhi of the Physical Body - Imperishable".

Ji Ming murmured to himself.

Being indestructible does not mean being immortal; it simply means that one's physical body is strong enough to heal itself from serious injuries. In addition, cultivators also possess a soul and a primordial spirit, which are aspects that can be attacked and killed.

Judging from what just happened, my dozen or so slashes in that instant, especially the two aimed at his head, had already reached the limit of his body's self-healing ability. What follows will require stronger and more frequent Divine Qi Sword Slashes.

Thinking of this, he placed his palms on the two bright red swords, and smoke rose up with a hissing sound.

Ji Ming took a deep breath. The burning pain on his palm reminded him that in this battle, he had no choice but to advance bravely and without hesitation or fear. He also didn't need to think about any feints. Against an opponent of this level, the only way was to confront them head-on.

For him, the techniques, treasures, true methods, and even escape techniques at the level of the four realms were no longer secrets.

For Hong Gu, there were no more secrets left in Ji Ming's hands.

He stood up from the lotus and looked at the snake's tail that had been pulled out in the golden light, as well as the dense, "pencil-like" half-bodied Taiping Warriors that stubbornly clung to the snake's tail.

His gaze shifted back to the remaining eight children, their innocent faces radiating a perfect blend of purity and fortitude. "Are you afraid?"

"Not afraid."

"Ha ha!"

Hearing the boy and girl reply without turning their heads or hesitating, Ji Ming seemed to feel his sense of belonging to Taiping Mountain grow even stronger, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Let's meet her."

Upon hearing this, the eight boys and girls all picked up their staffs and, completely forgetting their own lives, followed Ji Ming forward to meet the long, winding snake-like shadow that snaked through the dark sky.

As the beauty took her place, Hong Gu's smile vanished, replaced by a fierce fighting spirit. She seemed to have returned to normal, no longer displaying her eerie madness. She addressed the group led by Master Lingxu, saying, "If you die, I will find an auspicious burial site for you."

The eight nine-sectioned dew-collecting talisman staffs stood together on the ground, and the pure and subtle Daoist power suddenly expanded, which was the response of the eight boys and girls.

With a sizzling, burning sound, Ji Ming raised his hands, gripping the crimson sword. As his arms rose, Hong Gu also began to move, and afterimages began to appear in the sky. Gradually, the afterimages disappeared, leaving only a line of fire across the sky.

In Ji Ming's view, the line of fire, due to its excessive speed, had already circled the sky several times.

"speed!

"So that's how it is. No matter how fast my Divine Qi Sword strikes, I still need to see her with my eyes, or even sense her with my primordial spirit, to hit her. As long as my primordial spirit power can't keep up with the speed of her escape technique, then I won't be able to hit her."

"sieve!"

With a clenched fist, the sword vanished from his palms, only to reappear moments later, its blade sizzling with the aura of blood—the aura of Hong Gu.

"Hit the target."

Ji Ming looked at the red lines in the sky, but felt no joy at having predicted the opponent's escape trajectory and successfully struck him.

If the opponent's body is intact, hitting them once or twice is meaningless; you have to cut them to dust from head to toe, which requires hundreds of times, and each hit must be 100% guaranteed.

Poisonous Yang Sha Cave, Stone Bamboo Forest.

"Feel it?"

The bloated rat lay on a stalagmite, panting heavily, as it put a long halberd weighing over three hundred pounds into its storage bag.

Beneath the vast expanse of broken and collapsed stalagmites, the canine-headed, human-bodied guardian looked at his empty hands, then at the rat demon that had snatched the halberd from his grasp, and nodded, saying, "Are you referring to the commotion at my sect leader's place in Juyang Gorge, or the commotion at Venerable Honggu's place in the Sha Cave?"

"The leader?"
That person is indeed qualified to come here, and also qualified to challenge the master.

But he wasn't the key to this battle, and he couldn't make me feel that trembling, insignificant feeling of being an ant beneath an elephant's feet.

Rat Four took out a small statue and said to Dog Protector, "The body doesn't lie. Under the elephant's feet, we can't focus on the life-or-death struggle at all."

"Xuanming Star General!"

Dog-Sealing Protector took a step back, his eyes involuntarily narrowing slightly.

"Look, you're scared, but that's nothing to laugh at."

Having understood the extent of Master's power, someone like you, standing on the opposite side, would feel fear upon touching any magical artifact related to him, let alone this Xuanming Star General, forged from Master's true magic.

"He really values ​​you."

"Ha ha!"

Rat Four smiled proudly and contentedly, "In such a battle, the master has kept the divine general with me all this time. This kindness is something I can never repay even if I die."

"In this day and age, it's not bad to have a gentleman like this."

"You also have this opportunity. Don't rush to answer. I'm not trying to persuade you to surrender; this is just an option." In front of the Dog God General, Rat Four raised the statue of the human-faced bird with a thin neck, a broad back and a strong waist, and claws controlling two snakes high.

The motionless divine general suddenly trembled, its human face twisting completely to face the Dog-Sealing Protector directly.

"Uh"

With just a glance, before the Dog-Sealing Protector could even utter a sound of astonishment, he was already frozen into an ice sculpture. Immediately afterwards, the divine general transformed into a whistling blast of ice particles that drifted toward the center of the evil abyss.

Next, Rat Four solemnly took out the Golden Chest, sat in front of it, unfolded a yellow talisman, wrote the two ancient seal characters "Red Maiden", and then waited to receive the master's divine command.
