Chapter 268 Waiting for the Snake King to Wake Up
In fact, at the very beginning, when Xiaobai escaped from his sight at a very fast speed and hid in the wind, he did not think of discovering Xiaobai by feeling the wind at first, otherwise he would not have been hurt on the cheek by the strong wind brought by Xiaobai's iron claws at the beginning.

But when the innate energy in his body began to circulate, his mind instantly became clear, and his understanding of the [Wind Control Technique] reached a deeper level. Only then did he think of a way to find Xiaobai.

"With this [Innate Saint Body], within a month, I will be able to condense my first immortal sword. I will also have completed my [Sword Cultivation Technique]. Coupled with the improvement in my own speed of understanding supernatural powers, it won't be long before I can open the mysterious entrance to inheritance!"

Xu Ran suddenly became excited.

Now, apart from the upcoming two-year-old event, [The Awakening of the Snake King], what he cares about most is the mysterious inheritance.

After all, [Immortal Sword Technique] is so powerful, where is the inheritance contained therein?

While Xu Ran was thinking, Xiaobai's feathers had already grown out completely. The wind from its flapping wings came in front of Xu Ran, bringing him back to his senses.

"Xiaobai, your feathers grew out so quickly?" Xu Ran was a little surprised.

At this time, Xiaobai had regained his proud look, holding his head high and looking extremely energetic.

"Now that you've recovered, let's call it a day today. Go back and rest. The sun is about to set!"

Xiaobai nodded.

I originally thought that its feathers would not grow out today, and since the feathers had not grown out, it didn't even have the heart to go home for barbecue. But fortunately, everything went very smoothly and it was able to go back for barbecue again.

Immediately, he took Xu Ran home, and on the way he saw Xu Binghu and others walking back to the village.

One year and six months.

Another month has passed.

In the mountain stream, strong winds surged, hitting the smooth peaks on both sides heavily. Xu Ran sat cross-legged in the middle of it, and the innate energy emanating from his body was like a sharp sword, ready to split the mountain stream completely.

"drink--"

As Xu Ran shouted, a sharp sword aura suddenly burst out from his body and hit the smooth peaks on both sides of the mountain stream.

"boom--"

I saw that the originally violent gale was violently broken by the aura of the sharp sword, and a crack filled with a destructive aura appeared on the smooth mountain, which could not dissipate for a long time.

Xu Ran looked at the crack and nodded with satisfaction.

"I finally raised my first sword!!" Xu Ran said with joy.

A month has passed since his physique evolved into the [Innate Saint Body]. The innate energy that surged every day was continuously used by him to nourish the sword. In a month, his first immortal sword was completed.

Xiaobai felt the destructive aura of this immortal sword and did not dare to get close.

Xiaobai had witnessed the hard training of his master Xu Ran during this month, and the many difficulties he had to overcome every day. He also saw the immortal sword aura on him becoming stronger and stronger. He just didn't expect that just cultivating the first immortal sword would cause such great damage.

You know, there are always strong winds raging on both sides of this strange mountain stream, and the peaks on both sides have long been worn smooth. During the previous two months of training, the man and the falcon were blown to the peaks on both sides by the strong wind. Even with their full defense, their strong bodies did not cause a single scratch on them.

Now, just a newly formed immortal sword can directly blast out a crack as large as three meters. Such destructive power is extremely powerful. Even if it takes it head-on now, it will probably be seriously injured.

At this time, Xu Ran was very satisfied with the power of the first immortal sword.

"It's worthy of being called the [Immortal Sword Art]. Just the first Immortal Sword can possess such power. This is just the first Immortal Sword. If all nine Immortal Swords are refined and sacrificed, the power will be enough to destroy heaven and earth!"

Xu Ran went to the crack that was emitting a breath of destruction and felt it carefully.

"This [Immortal Sword Technique] also contains an aura of destruction, comparable to [Annihilation Tribulation Light], and even more powerful than the original [Annihilation Tribulation Light]!!"

"Then I now have two powerful means of attack!"

There was a hint of confidence in Xu Ran's tone.

The successful practice of this [Immortal Sword Technique] made him more confident in facing the [Snake King Awakening] in six months!
After solving the [Venomous Snakes Slaughtering the Village] incident, Xu Ran learned about the [Snake King Awakening]. From that period until now, Xu Ran has been urging himself to practice hard and improve his strength to the maximum extent before the incident occurs. After all, he has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders and cannot have any slackness or accidents.

Until last month, his successful practice of the [Innate Saint Body] had greatly boosted his confidence. Now, with the appearance of the first immortal sword of the [Immortal Sword Technique], he was even more confident in facing the Snake King.

While thinking.

Xu Ran's mind moved, and a small white sword appeared behind him. This magic sword looked very large, about the length of three daggers, but this was compared with Xu Ran, a baby who was only one year and five months old. In fact, compared with an ordinary sword, it was considered small.

However, the aura emitted by this immortal sword was extremely terrifying. Because of this immortal sword, Xu Ran was emitting a murderous aura, making it impossible for ordinary people to get close to it.

Then, Xu Ran moved his fingers slightly, pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, and the pocket-sized flying sword behind him began to dance at an extremely fast speed. Only a white light could be seen.

"I wonder what the maximum distance I can control the magic sword is?" Xu Ran thought to himself.

Then, Xu Ran controlled the magic sword and rushed out of the mountain stream at the fastest speed, attacking the depths of the mountains. Wherever he went, everyone was shocked by the murderous aura he exuded. Even some monsters that were unable to dodge in time had their heads chopped off directly. The speed was so fast that the consciousness of the dead monsters could still see their headless bodies.

"Shhhhh-"

Finally, the speed of the magic sword controlled by Xu Ran slowed down. Xu Ran frowned, as the flying distance had reached its limit.

"drink--"

With a light shout, the immortal sword used up the last bit of distance and rushed straight forward.

Suddenly, from the depths of the mountains, a roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth arose. From the center of the explosion of the immortal sword, a murderous and destructive aura spread out. All the monsters felt this aura and did not dare to stay, and fled away.

"Yeah!" Xu Ran felt the distance the magic sword was flying and nodded with satisfaction.

"Now the Immortal Sword can fly a full mile, and its distance can be increased as the cultivation level increases. It can easily take someone's head from a thousand miles away!!"

Moreover, compared with [Immortal Sword Technique] and [Annihilation Light], [Immortal Sword Technique] is more flexible. Xu Ran can also control the aura of the Immortal Sword and conceal the aura emitted, thus achieving the effect of assassination.

"Although the power of [Immortal Sword Art] and [Annihilation Light] is similar, [Immortal Sword Art] is much more flexible and concealed, which is something [Annihilation Light] cannot compare to!"

"[Annihilation Light] is suitable for direct spiritual energy attacks, while [Immortal Sword Art] is suitable for lurking. Moreover, the armor-piercing ability of [Immortal Sword Art] is much stronger than that of [Annihilation Light], after all, it only attacks one point."

In general, [Immortal Sword Art] and [Annihilation Tribulation Light] each have their own merits, and Xu Ran can also make a variety of plans based on the effects of the two.

Ever since the [Poisonous Snake Slaughtered the Village], a white snake demon near the village on the edge of the wilderness also felt this solemn and destructive aura. Its tiny snake eyes suddenly widened and it looked in the direction where the aura came from. Before Xu Binghu and the others in front of it could react, it fled in all directions, not caring about Xu Binghu and the others in front of it at all.

Xu Binghu looked at the scene in astonishment and asked in confusion, "What happened? Why did they all run away at once?"

Old Qi shrugged, "I don't know. Something must have happened deep in the mountains. Just now, all these snake demons looked towards the depths at the same time."

After thinking for a moment, he couldn't figure it out, so Xu Binghu said.

"In that case, let's take a break today, collect all the spoils, and go back."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked into the depths of the mountains.

Deep in the mountains.

Deep in the bamboo forest.

The four guardians, jackal, wolf, tiger and leopard, were pouring the blood and bones of the monsters they hunted into the blood-colored lake.

Suddenly, a sound resounding through the heavens and the earth was heard, and then, a murderous and destructive aura swept over. This aura frightened the weak monsters and made them flee in all directions subconsciously. For a moment, the entire blood-colored lake was in chaos.

The four Dharma protectors were also shocked by this aura at this time. Their movements suddenly stopped and they didn't even scold the monsters that were fleeing everywhere.

"hiss--"

In the dark cave, a long blood-red snake tongue stretched out and directly rolled up all the fleeing monsters into its belly. The four guardians who were still in shock were suddenly awakened by the bloodthirsty breath emitted by the snake tongue and immediately knelt down.

"My King!!!" the four demons said in unison.

He knelt down very quickly, in a split second. Sweat was dripping from his lowered head, and his eyes were full of fear. It was obvious that the snake king had awakened, otherwise, how could the snake's tongue appear?

As guardians, the four demons were responsible for everything that happened while the Snake King was asleep. But now, especially when the Snake King was asleep, they caused chaos among the surrounding demons, and they did not stop it in the first time, causing the sleeping Snake King to wake up. Now, he is really close to death.

The awakened snake king did not speak. His long tongue kept sweeping around the four monsters. The sticky liquid dripped on them, accompanied by a foul smell of blood. Even so, the four monsters still did not dare to move.

Moreover, the longer the snake's tongue stayed, the thicker the blood-colored mist in the blood-colored lake became. For a moment, the entire bamboo forest was filled with blood-colored mist.

Suddenly, the four demons' pupils widened, their faces filled with shock. A thought suddenly occurred to them: The Snake King is waking up! !
I saw that the originally blood-red fog around suddenly became condensed and turned into drops of blood-red rain falling down. The bamboo forest, giant trees, and rocks were all stained with the blood-red rain.

Everything in the bamboo forest that came into contact with the blood-red rain was instantly corroded and assimilated, and turned into bursts of red mist, over and over again!
After turning into a blood-red mist, it turned into a blood-red rain again. The falling blood-red rain merged into the ground, and the entire bamboo forest turned red. An aura unique to the Snake King rose.

This is the evil aura that belongs exclusively to the Snake King. It is foul-smelling, cruel, and full of blood. At this moment, they are like being deep in a sea of ​​blood and a mountain of corpses.

For a moment, the entire depths of the mountains felt the evil aura of the snake king. The weak monsters all knelt and crawled on the ground, not daring to move. Some monsters were even directly corroded by the aura and turned into a pool of blood.

Not long after the Snake King's aura rose, at the same time, several equally powerful auras suddenly rose into the air, forming a barrier that forcibly suppressed the Snake King's demonic aura and confined it deep in the mountains.

A moment later, two terrifying auras suddenly appeared in the bamboo forest. The four guardians, Jackal, Wolf, Tiger, and Leopard, sensed the two auras and shouted respectfully, "Welcome General Tiger and General Bear!"

I saw a huge crimson tiger appear in the bamboo forest. Its eyes were filled with endless ferocity, and its tail was swinging like a python.

Following General Tiger was a huge black bear, ten meters tall, with a necklace made up of dozens of human heads around its neck.

General Tiger and General Bear appeared and ignored the four guardians kneeling on the ground. They went straight to the entrance of the cave where the Snake King was sleeping, their eyes full of fanaticism.

General Tiger, "Is the Snake King about to be born? Prepare to gather your old generals and launch an even more grand battle!!"

General Xiong, "While the Snake King was asleep, we were bound to this mountain. It was so frustrating. I've long wanted to slaughter the entire Yue Kingdom and make them into blood food!"

General Tiger said, "Humph! Those people in the Yue Kingdom's court only know how to use despicable means. They forced the Snake King to sleep, but it was a blessing in disguise."

"As long as the Snake King awakens this time, it will surely bring about a natural disaster, and the Yue Kingdom will surely be defeated by us!!"

General Xiong, "Follow the Snake King and you will surely achieve great things. When that happens, the Snake King's name will resound throughout the land, and everyone who hears it will be filled with fear!"

General Tiger glanced at the dark cave, feeling a bit lucky, and continued, "However, the Snake King probably still hasn't woken up, but was just disturbed by something and turned over."

"Fortunately, we reacted quickly and suppressed the Snake King's aura immediately. Otherwise, we might have been discovered by those people in the Yue Kingdom's court."

Then, General Tiger and General Bear turned their attention to the four demons kneeling on the ground and asked, "We were all in seclusion just now. What happened just now?"

It must be no small matter to be able to make the sleeping snake king turn over. Now is a special period and no accidents can happen.

Then, the four guardians informed the two generals of the explosion and the aura that had just occurred.

Upon hearing this, the two demons fell into deep thought.

General Tiger glanced at the still sleeping Snake King and said, "Since the Snake King turned over because of the noise, it seems that he is really about to wake up. In the next six months, before the Snake King fully wakes up, you should stop seclusion and patrol the mountains."

General Xiong also agreed. "The closer we get to the Snake King's awakening, the louder the noise will be. If the Yue Kingdom discovers us, all our efforts will be in vain. We must always be prepared."

General Hu comforted him, "Don't worry, Old Bear. This frontier area doesn't even have a few cultivators. It has long been abandoned by the Yue Kingdom. Even if something happened, the Yue Kingdom wouldn't know."

"I'm afraid there's a mysterious existence within this mountain."

Having said that, General Tiger and General Bear looked at each other, as if they had thought of something bad, but their expressions soon returned to calm.

General Xiong said, "Even if there is, as long as the Snake King wakes up, he will be able to sweep away everything. In a place where even the Yue Kingdom has abandoned it, what strong person can there be? If there is a strong person, it is the Snake King, and only the Snake King!!"

General Tiger also agreed, "That's right, as long as we wait for the Snake King to wake up and prove the natural disaster, we can roam the world freely!"

The two generals have immense trust in the Snake King.

Afterwards, General Tiger and General Bear personally guarded the entrance of the cave where the Snake King was sleeping. The four guardians also took over the previous work of the little demon and poured all the blood and bones of the demon beast into the blood-red lake.

At this time, Xu Ran and Xiaobai had no idea what was happening in the bamboo forest deep in the mountains. The Snake King's breath was suppressed and they could not feel it.
