Chapter 102: The Fierce Beauty

  Mu Zhaoxue still had a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression as she said, "Cow senior's cultivation is far higher than Ye Feng's, so I won't be as polite as before. Cow senior should also go all out."

  "That's natural, and let me show you the power of Niu Bai Chan!"

  Mu Zhaoxue smiled slightly, and from the hundred treasures bag at her waist, she took out a palm-sized red rhombus-shaped object. On its surface, a red light flashed, resembling a scale, surrounded by a thin layer of mist.

  Niu Bai Chan stared at Mu Zhao Xue's hand in astonishment: "What is this thing? It actually contains a hint of an astonishing power!"

  Mu Zhaoxue held up the scale and said, "This is a scale of 'Inferno Snake Jiao'. It was refined from the flesh and blood of that Extreme Flame Emperor Snake, along with several scales of Jiao, over a period of ten years. I never had the chance to use it before, but today is a good opportunity to test its power."

  Niú Bái Chán was taken aback and said, "The scales of the Jiao are extremely rare. Usually, one has to kill a ferocious Jiao to peel off its scales. Unlike ordinary demonic beasts, the Jiao possesses intelligence and spirituality, and can even use spiritual methods. It's a kind of spiritual beast. Moreover, Jiaos generally hide in deep rivers, lakes, and seas. Ordinary people find it difficult to enter the dark depths of the water, let alone fight with a spiritually powerful Jiao. So, where did you get this precious scale from, Master Mu?"

  "Look at this scale in my hand," said Mu Zhaoxue, "it was exchanged for the contribution of my sect, personally given to me by Master Luo. I then merged the dragon scale with the blood and flesh of that extreme flame emperor snake, and after ten years of refining it with Master Luo's help, we finally refined this scale. Although it looks small, it is actually a fusion of all the essence of the extreme flame emperor snake and the spiritual energy of the dragon scale, making it an absolute masterpiece of a soul artifact."

  Top-grade Soul Equipment!

  Ye Feng's eyes narrowed: That's right, it's a soul artifact that's second only to a law treasure, and it's a top-grade soul artifact! It was just a little short of becoming a law treasure. I didn't expect Mu Zhaoye to have a soul artifact too. If he can use the soul artifact, it seems his cultivation has already reached the "Burning Soul Stage"!

  Mu Zhaoxue stroked the shiny scales and said, "It's just a pity that the Extreme Flame Emperor Snake was just one step away from becoming a Jiao. If I had waited for it to transform into a Jiao before killing it, using the Jiao's blood and flesh to refine it further, this 'Flame Snake Jiao' scale would have been an unparalleled treasure."

  Niu Bai Chan's mouth twitched slightly: Mu Zhao Xue could actually refine a top-grade soul artifact! No wonder she was from Fei Yang Peak's three palaces and seven caves. Although the "Hun Yuan Three-Pronged Spear" in my hand couldn't compare to Mu Zhao Xue's top-grade soul artifact, it was still a high-quality spiritual artifact. I'll let her see its power soon.

  As Mu Zhaoxue raised the scales of "Inferno Serpent" in her hand, a red glow flashed through the air, and the mist surrounding the scales gradually dispersed. The air turned into layers of dark clouds, and the red scales disappeared into the dark clouds. Suddenly, the dark clouds churned, thunder rumbled, and a serpent-like creature emerged from the clouds, its body resembling both a snake and a serpent but not quite either.

  Ye Feng took a closer look: this python was over a dozen zhang long, its body coiled in mid-air like a dragon, with a dragon head but no horns, and its mouth constantly spitting out chilling snake venom. The scales on its body were bright red and shiny, each one looking like a hot branding iron, densely packed together like a layer of hard armor.

  Niu Bai Chan's heart skipped a beat as he stared at the creature suspended in mid-air, its entire body a deep crimson color like a raging fire. He thought to himself: Could this be the result of the Extreme Flame Emperor Snake and the Jiao Scales mixing together - the Jiao Snake?!

  A thunderous roar from a serpent in mid-air shook the heavens and made one's ears deaf, causing the entire Flying Heaven Palace to tremble along with it.

  This angry roar seemed to have a hint of dragon's might, and Cow White Zen's legs trembled unconsciously. The sound had a king-like tone that made all beasts submit mixed in it.

  Ye Feng suddenly felt a surge of heat in his chest, and the blood in his body began to churn, as if countless dragons were swimming back and forth through his veins. He thought to himself: It must be that the ancient dragon's blood within him was resonating with the dragon's roar, which is why he felt his blood boiling over.

  Hurry!

  Niu Bai Chan stamped his foot, and with a wave of his hand, he pinched out a handful of spiritual symbols. The symbols rotated in the air, forming a whirlpool, and soon the sound of rushing water came from within it. A column of water, accompanied by the whirlpool, shot up into the air, extending all the way to mid-air, resembling a flying dragon spinning around, with a thickness of about ten people.

  Niu Bai Chan smiled coldly and thought: Aren't you Hu She? Watch me use this "Water Fetching Symbol" to extinguish you.

  The swirling column of water was like a burst dam, rushing straight at the python.

  A giant serpent coiled in the air, opened its huge mouth, and with a single move of the divine dragon's water-absorbing skill, a column of water as thick as ten people was sucked into its mouth, just like eating noodles.

  The two large cow eyes stared, and the mind thought: What's going on? My fifth-level "Water-Drinking Symbol" was easily absorbed by it? How can this be?

  "Ahah, the Jiao is originally a creature that lives in water, isn't it? Brother Niu using a water-attribute spirit symbol to attack it is just asking for trouble, isn't it?"

  Niu Bai Chan didn't say a word, his eyebrows furrowed again as he raised another spirit symbol. He thought to himself: Since you're not afraid of water magic, then let's see my "Fire Ox Symbol". Even if it can't burn this beast to death, I'll still crush it!

  In his mind, Niu Bai Chan changed a hand seal, and the spirit symbol he had raised instantly transformed into a majestic fire cow that was as tall as a person. Its entire body was surrounded by fierce flames, and its two sharp horns on its head seemed like two sharp knives, occasionally spewing out several tongues of flame.

  Niu Bai Chan waved his hand casually, and the robust fire ox's hind legs kicked violently, soaring into the air and charging towards the giant python in mid-air.

  A low, muffled roar echoed through the air as the Fire Ox, which had already leapt into the air and was about to pounce on the Jiaolong Snake, suddenly turned its head around. Its two bright red eyes emitted waves of flames as it charged towards the White Zen Master with a speed even faster than when it had charged at the Jiaolong Snake earlier.

  Just as it was too late to dodge, Niu Bai Chan hastily raised the "Hunyuan Trident" in his hand and swung it at the fire cow.

  The moment the Hunyuan Trident came into contact with the Fire Ox, it released a black electric current that completely enveloped the Fire Ox's body.

  Pfft!

  The fire ox, several times more robust than ordinary wild oxen, was reduced to ashes in an instant and drifted to the ground.

  Ye Feng watched from the side, thinking to himself: "The Hunyuan Trident" is indeed a top-grade spiritual energy, and the fifth-level spiritual symbol transformed into a fire ox that came over with at least 350 kilograms of force. However, it was lightly touched by the Hunyuan Trident and turned into flying ash. If this were to be inserted into a person's body, there wouldn't even be any residue left!

  Although the fire cow was destroyed, Cow White Zen was still shocked and frowned, muttering to himself: "What's going on?! It was clearly his own fire cow that he had urged on, but it didn't listen to him and instead charged towards him. This python is indeed unusual, it can actually reflect my spiritual symbols!"

  Mu Zhaoxue shook her head and sneered, "Brother Niu is underestimating this top-grade soul equipment. It's not reflecting your spiritual symbols, but rather this soul equipment contains the flesh and blood of the Extreme Flame Emperor Snake. When you use fire to attack the Extreme Flame Emperor Snake, it won't be afraid, instead it will control your fire attribute techniques. Brother Niu wants to defeat my soul equipment? He should think carefully first."

  Mu Zhaoxue ridiculed him for a while, and Niu Bai Chan felt even more resentful in his heart. He thought to himself: "Damn it! Water doesn't work, fire doesn't work, do I have to go up there and bite it myself? You dare to ridicule me, just you wait and see!"

  Niu Bai Chan's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he concentrated all the spiritual energy in his body onto the "Hunyuan Trident" in his hand. The Hunyuan Trident was covered with a layer of black lightning, emitting a series of crackling sounds.

  Mu Zhaoxue's hand changed in an instant, and the giant python that was spinning in mid-air spat out a burst of energy that shot towards Niu Baichuan like a bullet.

  Niu Bai Chan raised his hands and threw the "Hunyuan Trident" with black lightning, rushing towards the Jiao snake in the air.

  "Hunyuan San Cha Jue" tore through the surrounding air with a ripping sound, like a black lightning bolt, and stabbed towards the giant snake.

  The python opened its mouth wide again and took a fierce breath, and the "Hunyuan Trident" like a black lightning bolt was sucked into the python's mouth.

  Seeing his superior spiritual energy being swallowed up, Niu Bai Chan was so frightened that he retreated several steps back, his legs going soft and almost collapsing to the ground.

  The Cow White Zen muttered incessantly, "Impossible! The 'Hunyuan Trident' that had beheaded countless ferocious demons back then was actually swallowed by it! Moreover, I infused more than half of my spiritual power into it, increasing its might several times over. Even if it couldn't tear the python apart, it shouldn't have let it off scot-free either! What's going on here?"

  Ye Feng watched with relish, thinking to himself: No wonder it's a top-notch soul device, easily dissolving all the opponent's moves, even the look of their home was taken away, what a pitiful sight.

  The cow white Zen heart thumping, jumping non-stop thought: I have put more than half of my spiritual power into the Hunyuan Trident, if it is swallowed like this, just to make up for these spiritual powers will take ten years or so, I must think of a way to get back.

  "Let's just stop here."

  In mid-air, the python-like creature followed Mu Zhaoyue's changing hands, raised its head and let out a long whistle. Ye Feng, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, felt his blood boiling again in his chest, every blood vessel seemed to have a giant dragon stirring inside, his body seemed to have endless energy, with an urge to rush onto the stage and release the pent-up power within him.

  Ye Feng took a few deep breaths, doing several sets of deep breathing exercises, trying to suppress the surging hot blood in his heart.

  A dragon in mid-air also took a deep breath, its body swirling in the air, surrounded by rising dark clouds and several flashes of silver lightning.

  "With a 'hiss', the python's mouth spat out a black electric light, its speed as fast as lightning flashing across the sky, splitting the surrounding air into two halves."

  The black light had not yet come into view, but a strong gust of wind hit his face, and he heard the sound of "crack" as the giant stone split apart. The ground beneath his feet shook back and forth several times, kicking up a cloud of dust. Niu Bai Chan's legs were unstable, and he sat down on the ground with a thud.

  The dust gradually dispersed, and Niu Bai Chan sat on the ground, rubbing his eyes. In front of him, a crack appeared on the marble floor, which was over three feet long and as wide as a person. The surrounding ground also sank with it.
