Volume 5: Crimson Blood Cave Mansion Chapter 13: Highly Toxic

  A gigantic python-like creature with a blood-red body darted through the ocean floor, causing the surrounding seawater to churn and surge. Its pair of red snake eyes, however, had an icy cold glint, fixed intently on Qin Yu who was fleeing at top speed ahead.

  They are getting closer and closer to each other.

  "This python is actually faster than Sang Mo." Qin Yu turned his head and took a glance, his eyes condensed with a chill, and he gritted his teeth. In an instant, Qin Yu completely stopped moving. The red-blooded python seemed to have not anticipated that Qin Yu would suddenly stop, but it reacted quickly, stopping just before colliding with Qin Yu.

  The red-eyed python stared at Qin Yu, then flashed its body and transformed back into a human form.

  "San Mo, I've found him. Get ready with the Thunder Hammer, haha..." Zhang Chao transmitted a message to San Mo through the transmission talisman, feeling extremely confident at this moment. He sensed Qin Yu's aura, which was only around the middle stage of the Golden Elixir. With such cultivation, even if he had a high-quality spiritual artifact, he would absolutely not be his match.

  "Deputy Dong, then I'll be waiting for your good news."

  Chago's mouth curled up in a cold smile as he stared at Qin Yu in front of him.

  "Cultivator, hello." Chago said with a smile as he greeted Qin Yu, within the Red Blood Palace's domain, Chago had never feared anyone before, but now that Qin Yu was slower than him, Chago really had a cat-and-mouse feeling.

  Qin Yu was very clear in his mind, from the beginning of that sentence "I've been looking for you for a long time", Qin Yu had determined that the demon hunter in front of him was here to kill him, and it was probably because of the bounty on Sang Mo.

  "Xiu Yaozhe, I see your skills are not weaker than Sang Mo's. With your abilities, you're telling me you've come to kill someone over a mid-grade spiritual artifact of his, or perhaps it's because of some personal relationship with him?" Qin Yu looked at Cha Ge calmly.

  Qin Yu had no intention of escaping for the time being. After all, he had experienced the pain of "Meteor Escape" once before and would not try it again so easily.

  "Haha…… San Mo, you think San Mo that fool?" Chago burst out laughing, but with a hint of arrogance. "A mid-grade spiritual artifact, what's the big deal? How could it possibly make me come after you to kill you?" Chago was very disdainful of a mid-grade spiritual artifact.

  "Oh? It seems it's all for the sake of San Mo's personal relationships." Qin Yu said with a smile.

  Chago shook his head, "Favors? No." Chago stared at Qin Yu with a hint of a smile in his eyes. "With Sang Mo's abilities and status, his favors are useless to me. If I wanted to, I could directly order him to do things. What would I need his favors for?"

  Qin Yu was taken aback.

  The person in front of him can actually command Sang Mo, Qin Yu originally thought that Zha Ge was at most on the same level as Sang Mo, but now it seems that he has underestimated the person in front of him.

  "Then why did you come after me?" Qin Yu was very calm.

  "Oh, lovely cultivator. It seems you still don't know that Sang Mo has increased the bounty to hunt and kill you." Zhang Ge said with a wanton smile. "However, I'm not just here to hunt and kill you for the sake of Sang Mo's high-grade spiritual artifact, but also for the one on your body."

  "What high-quality spiritual artifact is on me?"

  Qin Yu looked at Chago, his expression suddenly froze for a moment.

  "Haha... don't deny it, that flying sword you flew with just now must be a high-grade spiritual artifact. Otherwise, how could your speed be so fast? A mid-Golden Elixir cultivator's speed is this fast, to be honest, I think even if it were a high-grade spiritual artifact, it wouldn't make your speed this fast... don't tell me that flying sword of yours is an extreme-grade spiritual artifact."

  Chago's eyes suddenly lit up.

  Although he couldn't believe that a Jindan cultivator had an extreme flying sword, Qin Yu's speed just now also surprised Cha Ge greatly. In the sea, the speed of the Red Blooded Python was very fast, and his Yuan Ying period was only slightly faster than Qin Yu when he used his true body.

  Perhaps... it's really an extraordinary flying sword?

  "Top-grade spiritual artifact? Alright, I'll give you this flying sword. Just pretend you've never seen me." Qin Yu's heart stirred, but he smiled and said. At the same time, a Flame Ember Sword appeared in his hand, also controlling it to float up.

  Chāo was taken aback, his eyes rolled, and then he chuckled: "Actually, I just wanted a spiritual artifact. Since you're so understanding, I won't bother, I'll just take this flying sword."

  As he spoke, Chago's body moved and he grabbed it in one go.

  "This foolish kid, first took his flying sword and directly refined it. Next, come kill this foolish kid." If the opponent had a high-grade spiritual artifact, even if they were to engage in a fierce battle, Zhang still felt that it would be somewhat troublesome.

  Since the other side has sent weapons over, he is naturally happy to receive them.

  In Chago's view, the opponent's strength was around the middle of the Golden Elixir stage, and compared to his own soul, it wasn't much stronger. Forcing the opponent's flying sword to dissolve would only take a moment.

  Suddenly ??

  "Hoo-hoo~~" The power of the stars burst out from Qin Yu's body in an instant, forming a huge whirlpool that resembled a nebula. A cold light flashed in Qin Yu's eyes as the starry clouds within him began to rotate at high speed, and the power of the stars surged up completely.

  Stellar Domain!

  "You actually..." Chago discovered this scene and knew that the other party was going to make a move, so he didn't foolishly go for the flying sword. After all, the other party was able to easily control the flying sword's attack.

  Idiot

  Qin Yu instantly split into several illusions, but for some reason Qin Yu didn't use the Yan Jue fist set. Several of Qin Yu's illusions surrounded Chago and almost simultaneously launched a series of attacks on him, with iron fists, sword fingers, or palm blades...

  "Haha......"

  Chāgē gazed up at the sky and burst out laughing. His entire body surged with a powerful, turbulent aura that repelled Qin Yu's attacks entirely.

  Qin Yu gritted his teeth, and in an instant, he transformed into six illusions. The six illusions simultaneously twisted their waists, and with a fierce spin, his right leg rotated like a windmill, then heavily struck Chago's neck.

  Pong!

  Completely drawn in Chago's neck, then six phantoms disappeared, and finally turned into Qin Yu alone, Qin Yu was drawing one leg on Chago's neck.

  "As for the ability to withstand a beating, our Red Blooded Python is not inferior to ordinary divine beasts." Chago said to Qin Yu at this moment, and a layer of scales actually appeared on Chago's neck. Qin Yu's close-range attack was ineffective.

  Qin Yu's body flipped backwards and retreated far away.

  Close combat is more effective on humans who are physically weaker, but it doesn't work on cultivators of demonic beasts because many of them have enhanced their physical bodies. For example, the Red Blooded Water Python, the Jiao Dragon, the Qiu Dragon and so on...

  "Counterattack ability is indeed very strong." Qin Yu exclaimed.

  Nacha only nodded in admiration at Qin Yu. He became even more arrogant, but still said: "You are indeed a cultivator, but your physical strength is actually quite powerful, and just now your last move also forced me to use my protective scales."

  Qin Yu exclaimed, "I've attacked you like this and still haven't broken through your defenses. You haven't even used your true body yet. Indeed, you're much more formidable than cultivators of the same level as us. However... I won't admit defeat."

  "If it weren't for the top-grade spiritual artifact, I really wouldn't want to kill you." As he spoke, Chago's body transformed into a giant serpent. Two daggers appeared in his hands, stabbing directly at Qin Yu, with a cold blue glow on the blades.

  Extremely toxic.

  "Die." Qin Yu muttered to himself, the starry clouds on his body rapidly rotating once again as he unleashed "Stellar Domain" for a second time, identical to the previous move. With Flame Emperor Sword in hand, Qin Yu parried Chago's dagger while simultaneously throwing two punches at him.

  A faint smile appeared on Chago's face involuntarily.

  After Qin Yu's attack just now, Chago has understood Qin Yu's attacking power and at least won't be able to hurt him. To be on the safe side, Chago still floated a layer of protective scales on his body surface, which were formed by python scales.

  Of course it's not as good as when it was in its true form, but at this moment its defense is still very high.

  "Ah!"

  Qin Yu's teeth were clenched so tightly that blood oozed out. A cold, fierce glint suddenly burst forth from his eyes. His fists, in the midst of striking, abruptly had their knuckle joints bulge out, transforming into a piercing fist attack with the strongest penetrating power, as the Blazing Fist aura appeared.

  "Pffft!" "Pffft!"

  With its powerful penetration, combined with the top-grade spiritual artifact's Flame Fist suit, it was simply unstoppable. Qin Yu's double fists directly broke through the scales and continued to pierce inside, intending to thoroughly destroy the Five Organs Six Viscera of this Crimson Blood Python, directly ending its life.

  However—

  "Roar~~~~"

  In the instant of piercing the scales, a low growl rose, and Chago's body suddenly transformed into a 70-80 meter long crimson python. The python's body instantly coiled up, ready to wrap around Qin Yu and strangle him to death.

  "Sly cultivator, I'm going to eat you!"

  Chago's angry voice echoed in Qin Yu's mind, Chago was really furious, he had been calculated by Qin Yu twice.

  The first time, Qin Yu talked to him first, but the conversation only got halfway before Qin Yu escaped ahead of time. The second time, when Qin Yu started attacking, he didn't use the Yan Jue fist set, causing Chago to miscalculate their actual strength.

  Qin Yu attacked again, but Chago didn't take it seriously and paid a heavy price.

  Qin Yu's body was as swift as lightning, and in an instant, he escaped from the python's coils. He transmitted his voice spiritually, saying: "You python, you're lucky to have survived this time. However... even though I didn't pierce your heart, it still suffered from my penetrating power."

  "Shake it off, you're also hurt pretty badly."

  Chago was indeed injured and quite seriously.

  Because of Qin Yu's first close-range attack, Zhang Hao determined Qin Yu's actual strength and thought that the protective scales were more than enough. Even the protective demon yuan force had not fully formed. Qin Yu's second punch attack relied on the high-quality spiritual equipment, Yan Zhuo Fist Set, to directly break through the scales.

  Moreover, the penetrating power of his fist didn't even need a full-body attack. Qin Yu's fist penetrated through Chago's skin and flesh, reaching his internal organs and injuring his heart.

  "Oh no, oh no, oh no... I'm so frustrated!!!"

  The python's body kept shaking, stirring up the surrounding water, but a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out from the python's mouth. The heart was the key to its demise, and although this python had only been shaken by Qin Yu's transmission of force, it was severely injured.

  Qin Yu's hands formed a seal, his expression solemn. He immediately shouted: "Yan Huan Sword Technique - Dense Starlight!"

  Only to see Qin Yu's Yan Wei sword flying upwards, and then instantly turning into a hazy piece, countless sword shadows shooting out from that haze, directly at the red blood python. Qin Yu saw this scene, with a hint of a smile on his face.

  Cultivators, demon cultivators, and devil cultivators each have their own unique aspects. The various sword techniques of the cultivators are indeed not to be underestimated. As for the devil cultivators, the power of many of their mysterious spiritual instruments is also very great. Qin Yu has a number of secret manuals from true cultivators and naturally learned some sword techniques.

  Yan Huan Jian Jue is a sword technique that Qin Yu focuses on learning.

  "Roar~~~~"

  The giant python let out a low roar, and then its huge head stared at Qin Yu, with its red eyes emitting visible red light. In an instant, the python's head moved, and it transformed into a residual shadow that appeared in front of Qin Yu.

  In terms of speed, the head of this python moves much faster than its body.

  "Hahaha...".

  Sword shadows fell on the Red Blooded Water Snake's body, but the snake only had a few bloodstains on its scales and was not seriously injured. The Red Blooded Water Snake didn't care about Qin Yu's attack at all, it opened its bloody mouth wide and bit towards Qin Yu.

  A pungent smell wafted over, and Qin Yu's hand seal moved. The scorching sword's true body descended from the sky, directly stabbing down at the Crimson Blood Water Python with extreme speed. Meanwhile, Qin Yu himself simply shifted his body along with the rippling water flow, easily avoiding the Crimson Blood Water Python's bite.

  "Bang!"

  A red afterimage, then Qin Yu spat out blood and flew backward.

  "My god, the python's tail is even faster than its head!" Qin Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling that his internal organs had all been injured. Just now, he only saw a red afterimage, and then it struck him.

  Faster than a cobra's head speed, it was terrifying. At this moment, the Yan Hui sword also attacked, directly stabbing at the python's brain.

  "Roar!"

  The python's head suddenly rose, and it actually bit Qin Yu's Flame Sword without fear. Qin Yu's eyes had a hint of ruthlessness, his mind controlling the sword as its speed increased again, directly stabbing into the python's open mouth.

  "You bite, I'll pierce your throat!"

  Qin Yu's expression turned fierce.

  "Whoosh!" A yellow light shot out of the python's mouth, directly hitting the Flame Sword. Qin Yu then discovered that the flying sword had become much heavier and its speed had slowed down significantly, as if it was no longer under control. Only then did Qin Yu see clearly.

  Some yellow **are attached to the Yanhui sword, and at the same time emit a wisp of yellow mist.
