Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 17 Annihilation

"Damn it!"

"Why is your Red Serpent King poisonous?!"

Luo Lesheng roared angrily, his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably.

The venom of the Poisonous Spirit Python is unlike that of ordinary snake-like demonic beasts; even a master at the peak of Qi Refining would suffer excruciating pain if struck by it.

Not to mention, Luo Lesheng was completely unprepared and was approached at such close range.

Without an antidote, he couldn't suppress the toxins in his body. The more he circulated his magic power, the faster the toxins eroded him, and he couldn't help but feel regret.

A few days ago, when I met Huang Li and Wu Shang, I almost laughed out loud when I heard that I had to deal with a servant who was at the third level of Qi Refining. Wasn't this using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

He had known Huang Suyu for many years and had killed many cultivators based on the information Huang Suyu provided. He had also done a lot of dirty work for Huang Suyu and dealt with disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect. He originally did not want to take this job, since dealing with a menial servant was too low-class.

But since the other party was, after all, the younger brother of the benefactor, after thinking about it, it wouldn't be too much trouble, and he finally agreed.

Unexpectedly, this lowly servant at the third level of Qi Refining turned out to be a treacherous Beast Tamer!

"Pfft!" Luo Lesheng spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood, dodged the Red Serpent King's tail whip attack, and quickly manipulated the Soul-Breaking Nail to stab at the opponent.

However, he was seriously injured and poisoned by snake venom, which weakened his consciousness considerably.

The Soul-Shattering Nail struck the opponent's scales, sending sparks flying and only leaving a few scratches.

"If the Crimson Serpent King had appeared from the beginning, I might not be in such a sorry state now."

Luo Lesheng was panting, his eyes looking much dimmer.

A level 5 first-order demon beast is not much weaker than a level 6 Qi Refining beast, so why bother with sneak attacks!

"No, that's not right! How could a mere Qi Refining Level 3 servant afford to support the Crimson Serpent King?"

In his death throes, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he remembered Yu Changsheng's mastery of magic.

"There must be some secret about them!"

However, at this moment, the Red Serpent King ignored what Luo Lesheng was thinking and approached him, launching a fierce attack.

Snake venom must not be used excessively, otherwise, if the body's defenses are weakened, there will be a risk to life.

Luo Lesheng's strength has been greatly reduced. Although the magic weapon in his hand is strong, it can no longer exert its original power. With the powerful physique of the Crimson Serpent King, it is enough to kill the opponent.

Yu Changsheng put down the fireball spell he had just formed and stared at his opponent's dead end.

With a muffled thud, Luo Lesheng was slammed into a giant tree by the Red Serpent King, and his one-armed hand holding the magic fan was bitten.

"Aaaaah! I'm not reconciled!"

Luo Lesheng's magical power surged wildly, but it was no match for the attack. A tearing pain shot through him as his arm was bitten off.

Having lost both arms, he had no chance left. The Red Serpent King flung him to the ground, his tail crashing down, leaving him as a blurry corpse.

Yu Changsheng withdrew his gaze, calmly walked over, picked up the magic fan and the Soul-Breaking Nail, and exclaimed, "What excellent magic weapons! It's fortunate that the other party couldn't use them well."

An ordinary Qi Refining cultivator is lucky to have one magic weapon, but this person actually managed to produce two, which shows how powerful their foundation is.

He crouched down, took the pouch from the corpse's waist, and smiled, full of anticipation for what was inside.

"Hmm? You're here, too bad you're a step too late."

Suddenly, Yu Changsheng frowned slightly and looked in another direction.

Three figures ran towards them from the dim forest; it was Huang Li and his men who had been chasing after them.

"Hahaha, that damned handyman is finally dead?"

Huang Li walked over laughing, without seeing the person standing there clearly.

When he opened his eyes wide, he realized that the blurry corpse lying on the ground was actually Luo Lesheng.

"How is this possible!"

"You...you, a mere Qi Refining Level 3 handyman, how could you possibly kill him!"

While he was in utter shock, the two servant disciples beside him pointed to the side, their faces pale.

"Brother Huang, snake, Red Serpent King!"

"A Tier 1, Level 5 Spirit Beast!"

The three of them gasped when they saw the ferocious-looking Red Serpent King, their faces filled with fear.

"This guy is a beast tamer!"

"He was only at the third level of Qi Refining a month ago, yet he's already formed a contract with the Crimson Serpent King, who's at the fifth level of Qi Refining!"

"Oh no! He didn't come to the forest to escape; he wants to kill us!"

Huang Li and the other two looked at each other, their faces pale, and without prior agreement, they all turned and ran.

However, before they could escape far, Yu Changsheng pointed his finger, and a blazing fireball struck one of them, setting him ablaze.

On the other side, the Crimson Serpent King pounced on Huang Li, knocking him to the ground with a flick of its tail. Even though the spirit sword struck the serpent's body, it had no effect.

"Aaaaaah!"

Upon seeing this, the last servant shouted and desperately tried to use his Wind Walk technique, but he was no match for Yu Changsheng.

"Die!" Yu Changsheng caught up with his opponent with icy eyes and pierced his head with a Soul-Shattering Nail.

Seeing the miserable state of his men, Huang Li's face was filled with horror, and he knew in his heart that he probably couldn't escape.

"You can't kill me! My brother is a genius from the outer sect of Imperial Sword Peak, and he'll be advancing to the inner sect in two years. If you kill me, he'll absolutely not forgive you!"

Huang Li trembled as he shouted, the spirit sword he gripped tightly in his hand offering him no sense of security.

"There's a proper way to beg for mercy. What are you doing? Threatening me?"

"Don't you know you'll die even faster this way?"

Yu Changsheng sighed, his tone very calm.

To be honest, he didn't want to kill Huang Li so soon, because that would directly make him an enemy of Huang Suyu, the genius of the outer sect of Yujian Peak.

Huang Suyu has gained considerable notoriety in the past two years. Those who oppose him have all met with bad ends, and he is also a ruthless person.

"You, you mustn't be impulsive. If my brother finds out—no, if my brother finds out you spared my life—he will definitely reward you handsomely."

Seeing Yu Changsheng's attitude, Huang Li was quite frightened.

Do I look like an idiot to you?

"Be more discerning in your next life, and stop being so arrogant and domineering. As for your brother, it'll be difficult for him to cause me any trouble anytime soon."

"After all, it wasn't me who killed you, it was Luo Lesheng."

After Yu Changsheng finished speaking, he threw the Soul-Breaking Nail at him. Huang Li stood up in alarm and swung his magic sword, but he was a beat too slow.

"Pfft!" The Soul-Shattering Nail pierced through his heart.

Huang Li coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell straight backward, his eyes wide open, as if he hadn't expected that the other party would actually dare to kill him.

Tonight, Yu Changsheng killed for the first time, yet he was surprisingly calm.

"I just want to play it safe and develop properly, why are you forcing me? I just hope your brother Huang Suyu can be more sensible, otherwise I'll have to send him to keep you company."

He took Huang Li's storage bag and muttered to himself.

According to the information he knew, Huang Suyu had broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining two years ago and was now in seclusion trying to enter the ninth level, so he had no time to care about what was happening outside.

Yu Changsheng cultivated the Crimson Serpent King from the third level of the first tier to the fifth level in just one month. If he were given a few more months, it would be uncertain who would let whom off when the other party came knocking on their door!
