Chapter 140: My Name Is Xu Xian
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Black Snake King, who had revealed his true form, burst out with astonishing speed and charged toward Xu Wan’er.
And this length of more than ten meters was the result of his intentional control.
If he fully utilizes his demonic power in his body, he could easily grow to tens of meters in length.
However, the Black Snake King did not need to use his full strength at this moment, since the difference in power between him and Xu Wan’er was still significant.
As the Black Snake King approached, Xu Wan’er felt immense pressure, but surrendering was not her style.
Just as the Black Snake King was about to reach Xu Wan’er, blood started gushing out of her wounds.
After the blood appeared, the blood quickly turned into blood-red blades and flew toward the Black Snake King.
Not only were these Blood Blades extremely sharp, but also carried a potent poison.
Although an ordinary person might have difficulty dealing with Blood Blade, the Black Snake King was not an ordinary creature.
Compared to cultivators, the greatest advantage of demons was their outstanding physical bodies.
Ding ding ding…
Xu Wan’er’s Blood Blade struck the Black Snake King, but it didn’t pose much of a threat to him.
The Blood Blade shattered instantly upon colliding with the Black Snake King’s scales as if it had hit a hard steel plate.
“Little girl, are you trying to scratch me?”
Xu Wan’er heard the teasing sounds coming from behind her, but she did not give up.
She knew all too well what would happen if she fell into the hands of the Black Snake King.
However, the strange thing was that although she was in a desperate situation, Xu Wan’er remained remarkably calm, there was not much fear.
In a trance, Xu Wan’er’s eyes began to lose focus.
This feeling was very strange. It was as if she entered a strange state of mind at this moment.
As for Xu Wan’er’s change, the Black Snake King did not care.
Even if a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator had some tricks, how could she hurt a demon king who was comparable to a Core Formation Stage?
Thinking this, the Black Snake King charged forward at full speed and blocked Xu Wan’er’s path.
Xu Wan’er, who was blocked, slowly raised her hand.
In the next second, a large amount of golden Buddhist light began to converge in her palm.
After sensing the Buddha light emanating from her slender hand, the face of the Black Snake King instantly froze.
“What did this little girl do? Why would she use divine abilities from the Buddhist Sect?” he thought.
Even Xu Wan’er herself could not answer the Black Snake King’s doubts because she had fallen into a state similar to enlightenment.
The hand that she extended was an unconscious action.
As the Buddhist light began to gather, the spiritual energy within Xu Wan’er’s body rapidly depleted.
Under the Black Snake King’s astonished gaze, an illusion of a Bodhisattva with a charming face appeared behind Xu Wan’er.
What was this?
Looking at this Bodhisattva illusion, the Black Snake King felt a trace of threat.
One had to know that Xu Wan’er was only a third-level Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
In desperation, the Black Snake King’s reverse scale between his brows began to glow.
A large amount of demonic power was released by the Black Snake King, covering his entire body.
Just as the Black Snake King was about to unleash his defense, the Bodhisattva behind Xu Wan’er struck out with a palm strike.
Boom!
The collision between the two sides immediately stirred up a shocking energy fluctuation in the arena.
However, even though Xu Wan’er performed beyond her level and managed to use the divine ability of the Huanxi Jile, the gap between her and the Black Snake King was not something that could be easily bridged.
Xu Wan’er’s talent was good, and her aptitude after absorbing the Jile Buddha Child’s aptitude was also impressive.
However, she had a fatal weakness, which was that her cultivation time was still too short.
Despite gaining much knowledge from the Jile Buddha Child and receiving help from Lu Yuan to rapidly increase her cultivation, she was still unable to fully unleash her strength.
Even if she could have unleashed her full strength, she still would not have had much chance of winning against a demon Icing comparable to the Core Formation Stage.
In the mountain forest, after the collision between Xu Wan’er and the Black Snake King, the spiritual energy impact dissipated, and the Black Snake King’s body gradually became visible.
At this moment, there was a palm print on the scale on the Black Snake King’s forehead, and some of the scales had visible cracks.
However, these cracks were not deep, and the flesh under the Black Snake King’s scales was not exposed.
Meanwhile, Xu Wan’er regained her senses but was completely unaware of what had just happened.
She only felt that for a moment, her body was a little out of control.
However, Xu Wan’er had no memory of what had happened during that period of time.
When she regained consciousness, Xu Wan’er immediately felt a strong sense of weakness.
This feeling was even more intense than when Lu Yuan performed the divine soul cleansing on her.
This feeling of weakness, which emanated from within, caused Xu Wan’er to collapse to the ground.
It was also at this moment that she saw the Black Snake King’s condition.
She saw that there were many traces left behind from the collision of divine abilities besides the Black Snake King.
Shattered ground, collapsed trees, swirling dust…
All of these indicated that when Xu Wan’er lost control of her body, she launched an attack on the Black Snake King.
However, unfortunately, her attack did not seem to pose a significant threat to the Black Snake King, only causing a few cracks to appear on his scales.
This made Xu Wan’er feel hopeless, and she realized how weak she was at that moment.
Previously, since she had always been by Lu Yuan’s side, Xu Wan’er did not consider cultivation to be a crucial matter.
She felt that no matter how hard she trained, she would never be able to surpass the Young Master.
Additionally, with Emperor Chen De’s death, the blood feud between Emperor and Xu Wan’er also dissipated.
This made Xu Wan’er lose her target for a moment.
In the past, her cultivation was only conducted at Lu Yuan’s request.
Her idea was also very simple, that is, whatever the Young Master wanted her to do, she would do it.
The matter of cultivation was just a task assigned to her by the Young Master.
But now, Xu Wan’er deeply regretted not having cultivated seriously before. If she were a little stronger at this moment, she might have had a chance to escape from the Black Snake King, even if she couldn’t defeat it.
As she thought about it, Xu Wan’er began to smile bitterly.
Then, she looked at the Black Snake King that was approaching her and seemed to have made an important decision.
Compared to being caught by the Black Snake King, Xu Wan’er felt that she might as well kill herself.
But just as the Black Snake King was closing in on her, a mocking voice came from the side.
“Such a large black snake. If it is used to make snake soup, it should be pretty good.”
As soon as she heard the voice, Xu Wan’er looked in the direction of the speaker with surprise.
She saw a refined scholar appear in the forest.
The Black Snake King looked at the scholar, and his pupils constricted.
He hadn’t even realized that the scholar had approached him.
No matter how he looked at it, this guy was very abnormal!
“Young Master…”
Looking at Lu Yuan who was leaning against the tree, Xu Wan’er weakly spoke up.
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded at her. Then, he walked directly toward the Black Snake King.
Confronted with Lu Yuan’s approach, the Black Snake King asked directly, “Who are you?”
After some thought, Lu Yuan replied, “I am Xu Xian, also known as Xu Hanwen, an apprentice at a pharmacy in Hangzhou.”
Hangzhou, a pharmacy, Xu Xian?
For some reason, upon hearing these words, the Black Snake King felt that Lu Yuan was trying to deceive him.
An ordinary pharmacy apprentice who could quietly approach him? It was impossible..
