Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 124 Capture
Unfortunately, this action caused negligible damage to the Blackwater Serpent, which blocked all the water bullets with its demonic energy shield alone.

But then, Li Xiangru’s Ten Flame Mirror unleashed layers of blazing flames, enveloping the Black Water Serpent.

"hiss!"

This move seemed to work; the Black Water Serpent burst out of the flames and flew towards Li Xiangru.

Little did they know that the two Li brothers were feigning an attack.

The real killing move was in Nie Rong's hands. He was already prepared and, with lightning speed, slashed the Black Water Serpent with his sword.

The sword light was imbued with magical power, exuding immense might.

The Blackwater Serpent's eyes widened in panic as it desperately twisted its body, narrowly avoiding the sword light.

Nevertheless, the Blackwater Serpent was still impacted by the magical power, and its abdomen showed obvious abrasions.

Seeing that Nie Rong's attack was effective, Li Xiangming and Li Xiangru immediately reacted and unleashed a barrage of magical power upon the Black Water Serpent.

This time, both of them were serious. The Black Water Serpent couldn't withstand them and hurriedly fled.

However, the two had anticipated this and unleashed explosive talismans to seal off the surrounding space.

"Boom!"

With several loud bangs, the Blackwater Serpent fled in a sorry state.

But it still had no chance to catch its breath, followed closely by flying stones and quicksand controlled by Li Xianghua.

The two sides continued to fight for several rounds, during which Li Xiangming and others pursued the Blackwater Serpent, which then fled.

"Such profound demonic power."

Li Xiangming was secretly alarmed; despite such relentless pursuit, the Blackwater Serpent remained resilient.

Although he inevitably suffered some injuries, his demonic power did not show any significant decline.

Fortunately, Chi Jingtong didn't take action against him back then, otherwise his grave would be overgrown with weeds.

Li Xiangming was no match for the Black Water Serpent in terms of magical power alone.

Unfortunately, even such a strange beast could not fight against overwhelming odds.

Especially under the interference of the formation and the combined power of various magical artifacts, spells, talismans, and other powerful forces, the Blackwater Serpent is in grave danger.

With victory seemingly within his grasp, Li Xiangming shouted, "Slow down, slow down!"

The four players proceeded steadily, employing feints and main attacks against each other.

"burst!"

"Oh!"

Another fiery talisman successfully hit its mark, and the Blackwater Serpent finally became weak, its demonic power fluctuating wildly.

Li Xiangming and Li Xiangru looked at each other, both able to see the joy in each other's eyes.

The Blackwater Serpent was already at its last gasp.

Just as the group was about to press their advantage, the Blackwater Serpent hissed, its eyes flashing with resentment and ferocity.

"Be careful."

As soon as Li Xiangming finished speaking, the Black Water Serpent's eyes blazed with green light.

Everyone paused in their movements.

"Golden Eyes of the Sun?"

Li Xiangming was terrified.

However, it was clear that the Blackwater Serpent's magic was far superior to Hao Ri Jin Tong's. Not only were they unable to move, but their very souls trembled uncontrollably, as if they were about to be swallowed up by the giant maw of the abyss.

At the same time, the Blackwater Serpent moved with astonishing speed, rushing towards Li Xiangru, who was closest to it.

"It's over."

Li Xiangru's eyes were filled with panic as he struggled desperately, but he was unable to move even a single finger.

Just then, a glint of silver light flashed across Li Xiangming's forehead.

"It's Su Nian's silver hoop!"

Li Xiangming instantly regained his senses, raised his hand, and several water ropes wrapped around Li Xiangru's ankles, pulling him back.

However, at this moment, the Blackwater Serpent was less than an arm's length away from Li Xiangru.

Just as Li Xiangru was about to be rescued, the Blackwater Serpent opened its mouth and spat out foul-smelling venom.

"not good!"

Li Xiangming's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly flew over and, at the same time, pulled Li Xiangru back with all his might.

According to the book, the Blackwater Serpent is not only powerful in individual combat, but it is also a venomous snake.

If you get splashed with the venom, you'll be badly injured, if not killed.

However, judging from the distance, Li Xiangming's speed was clearly not enough to get Li Xiangru out of danger.

At the critical moment, a sandstorm swept in, blocking Li Xiangru and the Blackwater Serpent.

The deadly venom was also absorbed by the sand and gravel.

"It is a portrait."

Li Xiangming immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Li Xianghua was outside the formation and was not attacked by the Black Water Serpent's soul.

"Xianghua, help me!" Li Xiangming shouted as he charged toward the Black Water Serpent.

At this moment, you must not let the other party catch their breath.

With the help of the wind and sand, the weakened Blackwater Serpent was no match for Li Xiangming.

It soon fell to the ground and was covered by layers of quicksand, with only its head sticking out.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiangming immediately took out four demon-trapping talismans and stuck them on the head of the Black Water Serpent.

He bit his finger, chanted a spell, and used the stone-sealing technique he had just learned.

In a short moment, the Blackwater Serpent remained motionless, like a stone.

"Success."

Li Xiangming was overjoyed and used a sheepskin bag he had prepared beforehand to put the Blackwater Serpent into it.

The inside of the sheepskin bag was covered with demon-trapping talismans and spirit-suppressing talismans, so even if the Blackwater Serpent broke free from the sealing stone technique, it would have no chance of escape.

After doing all this, Li Xiangming looked at Li Xiangru and Nie Rong, who had also broken free from the soul impact and flew over.

"so close!"

Li Xiangru was still shaken.

Li Xiangming did the same; he searched through all the books in his house related to the Black Water Serpent.

However, none of them mentioned that the Blackwater Serpent knew how to use soul attacks, so no relevant preparations were made.

Su Nian's silver hoop was prepared when she and Geng Shiheng planned to kill the Ghost-Faced Dry God Moth.

Unexpectedly, they were caught off guard by the Blackwater Serpent.

Fortunately, he found Li Xianghua, a formation master, to come over.

Otherwise, this trip would be in jeopardy.

"Is everything okay?"

Li Xiangming greeted everyone one by one, including Tang Xueyan outside.

After learning that everyone was safe and sound, Li Xiangming thanked them one by one and promised to repay everyone present.

"We're brothers, there's no need for this."

Li Xiangru smiled and shook his head.

"I'm ashamed that I almost hurt you, Fourth Brother. Please don't refuse!"

Li Xiangming advised that although Li Xiangru was in charge of the animal trapping room, he came to help this time because of personal friendship.

The Blackwater Serpent will not be handed over to the family.

In this way, Li Xiangming would naturally have to distinguish between public and private matters and give a reward.

If he takes advantage of his clan ties and enjoys favors as a matter of course, who will be willing to help him in the future?
"It's up to you, but this Blackwater Serpent is so sharp that taming it won't be easy."

Li Xiangming also felt troubled, as it would be difficult for him to tame the Blackwater Serpent with his skill level.

But at least they caught him, right?

If you don't catch it, you won't have a chance to tame it.

Li Xiangming weighed the sheepskin bag in his hand and felt a little scared.

Generally speaking, a demon cultivator in the Spirit Awakening stage cannot defeat a Qi Refining stage cultivator of the same level.

Why do you say that?
Because cultivators do not engage in physical combat with demons, nor do they compete with demon cultivators in terms of demonic power.

Most cultivators start with either magical artifacts or talismans.

These external objects can greatly enhance a cultivator's combat power, making them much more effective than spells.

Demon cultivators in the Spirit Awakening stage often rely solely on their demonic power and their innate divine abilities.

Therefore, it is difficult to deal with cultivators.

However, this situation will change drastically once the demon cultivator advances to the Bone Fusion stage and the demon exorcist evolves.

Ordinary talismans or low-level magical artifacts can no longer harm their physical bodies.

Even if damage is caused, the demon cultivator can repair it in a very short time.

In this way, demon cultivators at the Bone Fusion stage and above not only possess enormous demonic power but also a powerful physique, making them impeccable in terms of sustained combat.

Even with the help of talismans and magical artifacts, cultivators of the same level would find it difficult to contend with them.

At this moment, the importance of magic is highlighted once again. Only complex and varied magic can produce unexpected effects on these great demons.

If they wait for the Blackwater Serpent to fuse with its bones, Li Xiangming estimates that even five Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't be able to capture it.

That's why Li Xiangming was so eager to enter Puyin Mountain.

But he didn't expect that the Blackwater Serpent, which was only at the Spirit Awakening stage, would be so troublesome.

They almost managed to turn the tables and kill each other under the combined attack of the four late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

"Xiangming, there seems to be something strange about this pool of water."

Just then, Li Xianghua deactivated the formation, interrupting Li Xiangming's thoughts.
