Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 107 Casualties!

Ghost Moon Shockwave, the Ghost Moon Serpent's unique skill, is a light wave-type soul skill that can instantly engulf everything nearby and turn it into dust.

Everyone felt the threat of death from the enormous light wave that was over a meter long. As Zhang Lexuan shouted to get out of the way, they all scattered and tried their best to avoid the attraction of the Ghost Moon shockwave.

The Ghost Moon Serpent King shook its head, and massive waves of light began to ripple. Zhang Lexuan, Han Ruoruo, and the others, who were dodging to the sides, could only helplessly continue to retreat further outwards. The best way to deal with the Ghost Moon shockwave was to take to the air, but this was the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, and anything flying above one hundred meters would be subjected to indiscriminate attacks from this perilous place!

Therefore, the few trainees who were able to fly were very frustrated and could only hide in this disheveled state.

Finally, Qingyun Pengque Soul Saint Cheng Hui could no longer bear it. Relying on his martial soul advantage, he instantly accelerated and rushed behind the Ghost Moon Forest Python Emperor. His sixth soul ring flashed behind him, and his body was immediately covered with a layer of bluish-green light. Then, a pair of huge wings spread out, and his head, body, claws, and tail formed a straight line, transforming his entire figure into a huge cross. He crashed towards the back of the Ghost Moon Forest Python Emperor's head, his sharp beak like a dagger, and his body transformed into a giant bow and arrow, his momentum as fierce as a shooting star!

The Azure Cloud Roc's sixth soul skill: Divine Bird Special Attack!

Cheng Hui's sudden attack brightened the eyes of the group who were scrambling to avoid the attack, and they immediately tensed up, ready to counterattack at any moment.

However, just as Cheng Hui's attack was about to succeed, a sudden change occurred. The head of the Ghost Moon Serpent King, which had been swaying just a moment ago, suddenly and terrifyingly tilted back, creating an angle greater than 270 degrees that no ordinary creature's neck could achieve.

This angle positioned the Ghost Moon Serpent King's massive mouth directly in front of Cheng Hui's attack, while arrogantly exposing its seventh scale on its lower jaw to everyone else.

Cheng Hui never expected that the Ghost Moon Serpent King could make such a move. He had no time to react and crashed straight into the Ghost Moon shockwave that shot towards the sky. To everyone's utter horror, his figure completely disappeared!

Before anyone could even grieve or feel angry, another robust figure rushed out from afar. His body resembled a giant wild boar with a spiral horn, and his blood-red eyes were filled with a ferocious and savage aura. Like a javelin, he thrust straight into the exposed weak point of the Ghost Moon Serpent King.

"Wanwan, make your move!" The figure roared; it was Zhu Lie, who had been sent flying by the Ghost Moon Serpent King earlier!

The Ghost Moon Serpent King's weakness was attacked again, and its entire body trembled violently in pain. Zhu Lie's attack had pierced through its flesh and blocked its bones!

It immediately lowered its head, wanting to devour the human who had caused it such harm, but just as its head turned ninety degrees, another wave of attacks from the Shrek Academy students arrived.

Unexpectedly, the Azure Serpent Soul Emperor suddenly appeared out of nowhere, leaping to Zhu Lie's side and sprinkling all six types of Azure Serpent venom he had been accumulating onto the wound of the Ghost Moon Serpent Emperor.

Although both belong to the snake family, the Ghost Moon Python is a non-venomous python, while the Azure Scale Serpent is one of the most venomous snake-type spirit beasts. The Azure Scale Serpent's venom would definitely be effective against the Ghost Moon Python King. He had been waiting for this opportunity. With his strength, he certainly couldn't inflict his Azure Scale Serpent venom on the Ghost Moon Python King alone. Fortunately, he, Zhu Lie, and Cheng Hui were longtime friends and had a tacit understanding, which allowed them to carry out their actions just now.

At this moment, the Azure Serpent Soul Emperor's face was filled with hatred and sorrow.

The Ghost Moon Serpent King was attacked again, this time with snake venom. This made the emperor of snakes feel an unprecedented humiliation. It roared angrily, and its coiled body spun at an astonishing speed. Its huge scales instantly turned into sharp razor blades, and the air was filled with a piercing sharpness.

Han Ruoruo and Zhang Weiwei immediately rescued Zhu Lie and Wanwan. They tied the golden rope around Zhu Lie's waist and, with a burst of strength, pulled him safely to the others. However, Wanwan wasn't so lucky. Although Zhang Weiwei's branches also managed to entangle him in time, willow branches were no match for the rope. The dozen or so willow branches used to rescue Wanwan were instantly sliced ​​into pieces without any resistance, along with Wanwan himself!

The blood instantly stained the surrounding land red.

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Lie knelt on the ground in utter despair, tears streaming down his face.

The others also wore expressions of grief, but dared not succumb to their sorrow, for the crisis was far from over. The two lives of Zhu Lie and his companions had only fueled the Ghost Moon Serpent King's even more frenzied attacks. As for himself, his condition remained remarkably good. Despite constantly enduring the corrosive effects of the Azure Scale Serpent's venom, with the vitality and physique of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, he could withstand it for three days without issue.

Zhang Lexuan, Han Ruoruo, Zhang Weiwei, Shen Xu, Luo Wei, Long Yu, Wu Ming, and Ma Xiaotao continued their relentless attacks on the Ghost Moon Serpent King, all of them sustaining injuries to varying degrees. Zhu Ziyang and Su Meng stayed at the rear, tending to the heavily wounded Zhu Lie. Su Meng's Seven-Colored Dandelion Martial Soul possessed healing abilities, but it was merely a drop in the ocean compared to Zhu Lie's current condition.

"Senior Sister Su Meng, feed this pill to Senior Brother Zhu." Zhu Ziyang took out a pill that exuded lush vitality, which was the Hundred Healing Pill that Elder Zhuang had given him! Zhu Lie had already fallen into a coma and his breathing was getting weak. Su Meng was sweating profusely as she used her soul skills. When she saw the pill that Zhu Ziyang handed over, she was overjoyed.

"Brother Ziyang, that's great! Senior Brother Zhu can live!" Su Meng immediately put the Hundred Healing Pill into Zhu Lie's mouth, and then lowered her head without any hesitation to blow the pill into Zhu Lie's stomach with her mouth.

Zhu Ziyang watched this scene silently. This was all he could do now. With his strength, he was simply not qualified to join the battle. Ma Xiaotao and Luo Wei were at least Soul Kings capable of flying; they could inflict some minor damage on the Ghost Moon Serpent Emperor. With only level 40 Soul Power and not yet having obtained his fourth Soul Ring, he couldn't harm the Ghost Moon Serpent Emperor in the slightest. In fact, if he forced his way into the battle, he would only be a hindrance, and the others would have to distract themselves and watch over him.

For the first time, he felt such a frustrating sense of powerlessness, and his arrogance dissipated considerably. He truly understood that compared to the top experts, he was still an ant! He still needed to keep striving!

"It's good to suffer some setbacks!" Electrox clearly sensed the change in Zhu Ziyang's mood and couldn't help but feel a little gratified, muttering to himself.

On the battlefield, Zhang Lexuan and her eight companions were still locked in a fierce battle with the Ghost Moon Serpent King. With their small and agile figures and their teamwork, they were able to barely maintain the status quo, resulting in a strange balance between the two sides.

But as time ticked by, the soul power of both Soul Kings, Ma Xiaotao and Luo Wei, was clearly dwindling, and they were beginning to crumble. They were desperately holding on, because if they were to leave the battlefield, the balance that everyone had painstakingly established would be shattered instantly, and then the Ghost Moon Serpent King would truly unleash its carnage!

"Elder Xuan, where are you?" Ma Xiaotao cried out anxiously in her heart.

-

Where exactly did Xuanzi go?

Let's go back to the morning of the second day after the group entered the core area.

"Huh? What's that smell?" Xuanzi, who was following behind the inner courtyard disciples, suddenly smelled a peculiar fragrance that instantly brought out the flaws in his martial soul.

"Let's go take a look," Xuanzi thought, and then began to search following the fragrance. After many twists and turns, he lost track of the inner courtyard disciples and lost their direction.

However, he was unaware of this.

"It's actually the Heavenly Famine Fruit!" Xuanzi's old face immediately lit up with a bright smile, his eyes greedily looking at the small tree in front of him, which was covered with a dozen or so bright red fruits.

The Famine Fruit is a very special natural treasure. Although it is named Famine Fruit, it has the powerful medicinal effect of making a person not feel hungry for ten years.

When Xuanzi saw the dozen or so Heavenly Famine Fruits, his mind was instantly filled with them, and he completely forgot about being an inner courtyard disciple. He couldn't wait to pluck a Heavenly Famine Fruit, swallow it, and begin to refine it.

Before long, Xuanzi opened his eyes, two lines of tears streaming down his face. How long had it been? Almost two hundred years. He finally understood what it felt like to be full.

When Xuanzi realized that he had become separated from the inner court disciples, it was already night.

"Not good!" The aftershocks of the battle in the distance caught his attention. His expression changed drastically, and he rushed towards the direction of the battle like a madman.
