Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 374 Dao Body Cultivator
As soon as Fan Xian finished speaking, the two demonic pythons charged towards Li Fan and the others. They opened their mouths and spewed out green demonic mist, from which a corrosive aura emanated.

With a thought, Lu Yuan caused the surrounding temperature to drop sharply, and the green demonic mist crystallized and froze in mid-air.

Boom...

Lightning flashed, and Liu Ji exuded the power of thunder. She had already completed her transformation when she was in the Western Sea. A pressure emanated from her, causing the attacking demonic python to hesitate.

The dragon charged out with its massive body, its scales gleaming with lightning. It opened its mouth and spat out a beam of lightning, which struck the head of a demonic python, causing the python's body to tremble.

The dragon's body charged forward instantly, its massive claws slamming down, and with a soft crack, the sound of a skull shattering rang out.

Another monstrous python attacked from the side, its scarlet eyes extremely eerie, staring at the dragon's neck as it charged.

Huang Xiong stepped forward, his martial intent surging, his blood roaring. The python demon's fangs snapped down at him, but Huang Xiong stretched out his hands and grabbed the python's mouth, preventing it from closing.

"open."

Huang Xiong shouted, and a cracking sound rang out. The demonic python didn't even have time to scream before Huang Xiong forcibly tore it apart, starting from its mouth and then its body, with blood raining down. The other demons that wanted to rush forward let out low growls and dared not move forward.

Fan Xian's eyes twitched as he stared at Huang Xiong, thinking how close he had come to disaster. This martial arts master's power was enough to tear apart a demonic python, so he was probably invincible in close combat at the fifth level. Fortunately, he hadn't acted impulsively outside, which led the other party to the Medicine Washing Lake. Otherwise, it would have been very risky to start a battle outside.

"Let's attack together," Fan Xian said. As soon as he finished speaking, countless small, emerald-green snakes flew out, rushing madly towards the dragon.

Seeing the venomous snakes flying towards them, Lu Yuan took a step forward, and instantly a surge of Yin energy enveloped the entire area, freezing the green venomous snakes in mid-air, unable to move forward.

Lu Yuan's body was bathed in the radiance of the moon, which transformed into sword light. With continuous "poof poof poof" sounds, poisonous snakes fell from the sky.

"A sword cultivator?" Fan Xian raised an eyebrow and stared at Lu Yuan.

"Old sir, you're dishonest. I came with you to wash medicine at the lake, but you want to kill us. You're truly vicious." Li Fan strode forward toward Fan Xian, each step seeming to traverse space, an invisible pressure bearing down on Fan Xian.

"Take them down." Fan Xian's expression changed slightly, and a surge of poisonous gas enveloped his body, transforming into large snakes that rushed towards Li Fan.

Li Fan seemed not to see it at all. His golden body shimmered, and at the same time, his magical power transformed into a protective radiance that enveloped his entire body.

Jiaolong accompanied Li Fan, with Lu Yuan and Huang Xiong on either side.

The light of the moon transformed into a curtain of light, and a bright moon appeared. The sword of the moon fell down, freezing and killing the cultivators and demons who charged forward.

From another direction, Huang Xiong's martial spirit appeared behind him, his blood and qi forming a shield, his body like a spear. A bull demon charged forward with the force of thunder, wild and unrestrained.

Huang Xiong unleashed a powerful punch, accompanied by the roar of a dragon and a wild collision with the demon bull. Behind the demon bull, a cultivator wielding a large hammer slammed down on Huang Xiong. Huang Xiong raised his arm, and a gigantic hand appeared, forcefully slamming the hammer down.

With a low growl, Huang Xiong leaned forward and punched his opponent in the head, causing blood to splatter. He then swung the opponent's hammer away and smashed another attacker from behind to death.

"Brother and sister, we mustn't waste those demon cores!" Yang Qingshan shouted from the dragon's body. The demons they killed were all fifth-realm demons, and their demon cores were extremely valuable.

"Don't worry, not a single one will be wasted." The dragon spoke in a human voice, which Yang Qingshan found crisp and pleasant to hear; Sister Liu's nature was enchanting. Seeing Li Fan constantly approaching her, Fan Xian retreated, her poisonous aura surging forth, transforming into a phantom venomous python that swept out, while her mount also pounced on Li Fan.

chi chi...

A sharp aura emanated from Li Fan, and his body seemed to radiate a brilliant light, dazzling to the extreme. He continued to move forward, preventing the poisonous creatures from getting close. In an instant, the giant python opened its blood-red maw and swallowed Li Fan's body whole.

This made Fan Xian pause for a moment, but only for a moment.

The python's body was torn apart in an instant, and a figure shot straight toward him, yet Li Fan was not stained with a single drop of filth.

This made Fan Xian's face turn pale instantly, as if he realized the huge difference in strength between the two sides. He roared and unleashed a barrage of poisonous palm prints. He then turned and fled, shouting, "Please, Elder, make your move!"

With a soft "pfft," a golden light pierced through his throat, and his voice came to an abrupt halt. Those poisonous palms couldn't hold Li Fan for even a moment.
"Who is this person?" Many thoughts flooded Fan Xian's mind before he died, and he even felt a sense of absurdity. He still couldn't understand what was going on.

On both sides of the lake below, there were many low-level cultivators. They all looked up at the sky in astonishment. Seeing cultivators and demon servants falling one after another, they all felt it was unreal. Several cultivators at the Core Formation stage were actually wreaking havoc in the Medicine Washing Lake.
As if realizing what was happening, figures flashed away from the area to report the incident.

Some people hide in the shadows, refusing to be the first to stick their necks out.

In no time, those who had surrounded and killed Li Fan were all killed, and they even saw Li Fan and the others cleaning up demon cores.

"A good haul." Li Fan counted the demon cores and put them away, then looked into the distance. Demonic energy surged within the Medicine Washing Lake, where many demons were being raised.

They are all tonics.

"Who dares to act so presumptuously at my Medicine Washing Lake?"

A thunderous roar echoed from the distant Washing Medicine Lake, sending chills down the spines of the lower-level cultivators below. Li Fan looked up and saw a surge of demonic energy transforming into a storm that swept towards them.

The demonic mist roared and swept towards this place like a hurricane, stopping high in the sky not far away. When the demonic mist dissipated, it revealed a pair of huge, ferocious eyes.

With dragon whiskers on its enormous head, skin like armor, and eyes that exuded a fierce and malevolent aura, it was a giant dragon with the aura of the sixth realm.

On the back of the dragon stood an old man dressed in a green robe. The robe was wide and covered his body. The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were filled with a cold aura as he stared at Li Fan and his group.

"Greetings, Elder." Those below bowed respectfully upon seeing the elder's arrival, and those who had intended to flee stopped their escape. Since the elder had arrived, they were naturally safe and sound.

Seeing the giant dragon staring at her, Liu Ji felt a sense of apprehension. High-level dragons naturally suppressed her, and the way she looked at the giant dragon was as if it were staring at food.

"State your name and background." The old man stared at Li Fan and the others. If Li Fan couldn't provide a background that was enough to intimidate the Medicine Washing Lake, then he would die.

Li Fan looked up and saw his body floating forward. He had cultivated to the late stage of Core Formation, but had never fought against a cultivator with a sixth-realm Dao Body.

I have the opportunity today, so I might as well give it a try.
