Chapter 56 Poisoning "That's good, Senior Sister should be able to return within a day. It won’t take up too much time.” Lu Xuan had no objection to the mayor's words. Anyway, he was not very curious about the matter itself. In a small town full of mortals, could there really be any treasures? "Thank you for your understanding, Immortal. When your sister arrives, I will definitely not disappoint you with my news." The mayor bowed again, showing perfect courtesy. "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's treat the villagers quickly. I have some healing pills. Grind them into powder and mix them with water. The ratio is about 100 to 1, one bowl of water per person, don't be greedy, otherwise you won't be able to digest the medicinal power." As he spoke, Lu Xuan took out a bottle of second-grade Huiyuan Pills from his hand. Although the quality of these pills was low. But for mortals, it is enough. "Thank you, Immortal, for the medicine!"
Upon seeing this, the mayor showed a look of joy on his face, and then hurriedly summoned the remaining young and strong laborers. He handed over the porcelain bottle in his hand. "Did you hear what the Immortal said just now? Grind the pills quickly and find a few bowls to collect water. Feed the injured!" As everyone started to get busy, the black-haired girl who had transformed from the snake demon slowly retreated into the shadows. This kind of town is densely populated and everyone knows each other. If she stays, she will soon be recognized as a stranger. 'The blood sacrifice has not been completed yet, and the formation is still a little short of completion. We have to fill in the remaining lives during this period. Or, just the life of that immortal cultivator is enough.' Thinking of this, the woman's eyes instantly turned into vertical pupils, and she stretched out her forked tongue to lick the corner of her mouth. She was seriously considering whether to do so before the woman with the sword arrived. He killed the man instantly, completed the blood sacrifice formation, and escaped from here. Jingle Bell! Suddenly, a light sound was heard, and the purple-gold bell on Lu Xuan's waist shook, emitting a faint light that enveloped him. "Is there an enemy?" With a slight exclamation, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and he looked around. There was respect, fear, and joy on the faces of the people around me, but there was no resentment or hatred. Then why did his bell ring? The top-grade spiritual weapon that the system rewarded to Lu Xuan is an extremely rare type that can automatically protect its master. As long as he senses murderous intent or fluctuations of magical power directed at him, he will make a voice warning. It will alert him and create a protective light barrier that is strong enough to resist the attacks of the early Nascent Soul stage.
"It's strange. Logically speaking, the killing intention of ordinary people is just a manifestation of emotion, and it is impossible for it to make the bell ring. Could there be other monsters?" Thinking of this, Lu Xuan immediately had a few more Xuan-level talismans in his hand, which he hid in his palms and was ready to throw out at any time. Seeing this, the snake woman who was hiding in the dark, ready to take action, had to give up her plan of instant kill. For a cultivator in the Jindan stage, this kid's equipment is too good. The bell could actually sense her murderous intent and had an excellent protective function. It even held a bunch of talismans in its hand. If I take action now that I'm seriously injured, I might end up falling into this kid's hands. Besides, isn’t it said that human cultivators like to hide some trump cards? What if this kid has revealed more than what he appears to have? Not only would she fail to complete the task assigned by the adults, but she would also lose her life. Therefore, the black-haired girl chose to hide completely in the shadows, shielding her own breath and the demonic aura she exuded. Since there was no way to get rid of Lu Xuan, she chose to kill all the mortals here. To do this, it was very simple, all she had to do was poison the water source of these mortals. After making the decision, the black-haired girl quietly came to the largest well at the entrance of the village. Looking at the calm water, she stretched out a white finger and gently opened her mouth. Revealing those two fangs. Then crystal clear saliva began to flow down, and her saliva containing highly poisonous substances dripped into the well. “Tsk, my venom is so precious, using it to kill these mortals is simply a waste of resources. If I had known that Dao Yanzong would send people here so soon, I would have killed them first." Reaching out to wipe the mucus from the corners of her mouth, the black-haired girl licked her lips, licking away the remaining venom. It almost lost its life for the blood sacrifice of a town. This price was really not worth it. “If it weren’t for the fact that the hatching of a new king requires a large amount of flesh and blood, and there is a mineral vein hidden under the ground of this town. The king would not send me here.” After muttering to herself, the girl immediately blended into the shadows around her again. And on the other side, Ling Xiao, who was chasing on a sword, had now tracked the traces of blood and evil spirits to a place thousands of miles away. The snake demon cut off some of its own flesh and blood and temporarily created a fake clone, luring Ling Xiao to chase further and further. Although it doesn't exist for long, as long as it can gain an hour or two, it will be enough for it to complete what it needs to do. "How can this monster run so fast?" Ling Xiao looked at the bloody black snake not far away and couldn't help but frowned. After being hit by two of her swords and fleeing at this speed, the monster was already burning its life madly.
The body, which was originally a hundred meters long after shrinking, has gradually become only a few dozen meters long. He would rather exhaust his essence and die than turn back to fight her. He has to stay alive like this. This made Ling Xiao very unhappy. She had promised her junior brother that she would get the snake demon's head within one day. But at the current rate, by the time we catch up with it, the snake demon's true form will probably become no different from an ordinary small snake. At that time, she walked up to her junior brother with a snake head that was not even the size of a palm, and she had no momentum at all. I guess my junior fellow apprentice is still wondering whether this is a real snake demon. Not only would it fail to achieve the effect she had imagined, it would also likely lower her image in the eyes of her fellow apprentices. Thinking of this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He wanted to kill it while its size was still decent enough. So, Ling Xiao took out the sixth-grade Huiyuan Pill that Fan Qianyue had handed to her before and ate three of them in one breath. She was already full of magical power, and under the influence of the medicine, the surging magical power almost broke her meridians. Ling Xiao did not delay at all and immediately raised the Zixiao Sword in his hand, accumulating unprecedented sword energy. This method would cause considerable loss to her body, but she couldn't care less at the moment. At worst, I can go back and recuperate slowly. Boom! As the sword was swung out, the sky and the earth were eclipsed. The snow-white sword energy was enough to spread for a thousand meters, flattening all obstacles in the way. At a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye, the head of the speeding black snake was cut off. However, after death, the black snake's body quickly turned into a pile of rotten meat, and the original snake body and head turned into a blurry piece of meat. "It's broken, Junior Brother!" When Ling Xiao saw this, he immediately realized that something was wrong. (End of this chapter)
