C71 The Cave in the Water

Article 71: Water Cavern

The pond returned to its original silence. The reason was that all of the natives had been killed, and Jian Ao was the only one left.

A serious look flashed across Jian Ao's eyes as he looked down. He said faintly, "Little Xuanzi disappeared after jumping into the pond. Clearly, he has entered the pond below. Furthermore, he is very familiar with the environment here. He possessed the bloodline of the Black Tortoise. The inferior water monsters here are indeed unable to do anything to him. "

Speaking up to this point, it had to be said. . . This trip to the pond was of great significance to him. The pride that he had been emitting from his body, which was now soaring into the clouds. . . His imposing aura was now completely restrained. If the Jian Ao from before was a sharp sword that could pierce through the heavens. . . At this moment, it was a hidden peerless sword of slaughter. It would be fine if he didn't make a move. Once he attacked, it would be earth-shattering, and blood would flow for thousands of miles.

This was a transformation that belonged to Jian Ao!

"I, Jian Ao, have roamed freely in my life, and have seen all kinds of storms and waves. If I retreat because of some unknown reasons, then how can I cultivate the sword? How can I reach the peak?! " Jian Ao focused his voice and answered his own question, "My sword. . . He had to move forward bravely. A sword that shook the world, and a sword that pierced through the Nine States. A sword that broke the firmament. My sword is my heart, fearless. Extinguish everything!"

He took a step forward, his body was like a feather, weightless as he lightly descended.

His feet landed on the ground. Jian Ao did not know how long he had fallen, but he finally landed on solid ground.

Looking around, In front of him, there was a faint cave entrance that seemed to lead to the dark path, opening up towards Jian Ao.

"This should be the cave that Little Xuanzi mentioned. " The seriousness in Jian Ao's eyes intensified.

At this moment, they had already arrived in front of the cave. There might be endless dangers and deaths if they entered, but on the contrary, dangers and opportunities coexisted. It was possible that they would reach the sky in a single bound if they entered.

Jian Ao only hesitated for a moment before his heart settled down. He raised his head and strode towards the cave entrance.

Just like what he said, he was like his sword, fearless and cutting off everything!

It was not as dangerous as he had imagined. Instead, it was as if he was strolling in the dark, appearing exceptionally quiet.

However, the quieter it was, the more serious the seriousness in Jian Ao's heart became.

There must be something wrong with something unusual!

"Rumble!"

Loud rumbles came from the depths of the tunnel, causing Jian Ao to narrow his eyes and quickly walk forward.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Before the first wave of trouble settled, another wave of trouble arose.

One by one, bats jumped out of nowhere from the tunnel. Looking down, one could not see the end. These bats revealed their fangs and bared their fangs as they charged at Jian Ao.

"Hmph! A bunch of lowly ants dare to be arrogant!"

Jian Ao often held the Cool Breeze Sword in his hand. Instantly, a bright light bloomed. With a sweep of the Cool Breeze Sword, it was like snowflakes falling from the sky. Bats continuously fell from the sky.

However, Jian Ao could only kill dozens of bats with a single slash of his sword. To the entire swarm of bats, it was just a tiny bit.

They were not afraid of death. They were not frightened by Jian Ao's sword at all. Instead, they became even more ferocious as they flew away. A group of bats even fell down and started biting the dead bodies of their companions.

Jian Ao also knew that if he continued killing like this, he didn't know how long it would take. A flash of emotion flashed across his eyes.

A strong flame Qi rushed out of Jian Ao's body. From afar, it looked like a Fire God had descended.

"Thousands of Fire Descends at the same time!"

The Cool Breeze Sword glowed brightly. Strands of flames emerged from the tip of the sword and floated forward. A single spark of fire could set the world on fire, let alone countless flames! Any bat that was touched by the flames would be burnt to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Circulating the Flowing Cloud Steps, his whole body started to float. Rays of light flashed and brought the falling body of the bat.

After an unknown amount of time, the originally clean and spotless passageway had now become the bat tomb.

Jian Ao's face was slightly pale. He looked at the few remaining bats in the air and ignored them. His body flashed and disappeared at the end of the passageway.

It was not that Jian Ao did not want to kill them, but he did not have the strength to kill them. Fighting with the water monsters just now had already consumed most of the True Qi in his body. Just now, he had used the sword skill that was supplemented by the Great Sun Incinerating Heaven Scroll. His true qi was like flowing water, constantly flowing out. If he didn't avoid them, he was afraid that they would be the ones who would die, but himself.

At the end of the tunnel, there was a cave that was opened up by the Spirit Stone. In the center of the cave, there was a skeleton that was flickering with a sparkling white light. An intense pressure was emitted from the skeleton, causing Jian Ao's expression to change.

The owner of the skeleton had been dead for an unknown period of time, but the pressure emitted by the skeleton was no weaker than that of the outer sect elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Huang Guicann.

Jian Ao was sure that this skeleton must have been an extremely powerful expert when it was alive!

Looking down, next to the skeleton, there was a yellow glowing fruit that was emitting a strong spiritual Qi. It was obviously a high grade spiritual fruit.

Looking down, a water snake with a huge tail swung down, and the sound of the wind was heard, suppressing a turtle with a turtle shell on its back.

"Little Xuanzi!"

Surprisingly, that turtle was the Profound Tortoise Beast that Jian Ao had subdued.

Under the fierce attack of the water snake, Little Xuanzi could only continuously defend and hide under its turtle shell.

Seeing this, Jian Ao faintly smiled. A dignified descendant of a divine beast was actually being suppressed by a water snake, causing him to have no temper at all. If his ancestors knew about this, it was unknown what they would think.

Holding the Spirit Stone in his hand, he continuously restored his true qi. His expression didn't show the slightest bit of worry for Little Xuanzi. Although Little Xuanzi was being passively beaten, the water snake was unable to break through his defense. In other words, Little Xuanzi's life was not in the slightest bit of danger. However, there was a dense solemness in his eyes as he looked at the skeleton.

He had a nagging feeling that there was something strange about this skeleton. It was as though he would die the moment he touched it. However, when he took a closer look. . . He had no idea where this feeling came from.

Although Water Snake had sensed Jian Ao's arrival, he thought that Jian Ao was also here to snatch the spiritual fruit that he was guarding, and thus increased his attack on Little Xuanzi. A Profound Tortoise Beast that was left behind by him was so troublesome that he couldn't escape from it, let alone an extra person. Therefore, he made up his mind to kill Little Xuanzi first, regardless of the consumption of demonic energy in his body. Then, he would deal with Jian Ao.

However, when he saw that Jian Ao wasn't interested in the fruit, he felt relieved and focused on breaking through Little Xuanzi's defense.

In Shui She's heart, killing an ant at the second stage of the sword was a piece of cake. The little Xuanzi in front of her was the most important thing.

Little Xuanzi had also noticed Jian Ao's arrival. His turtle shell trembled and revealed a joyful expression.

The turtle shell rotated. He shook off the water snake's attack and revealed his small head. His large eyes blinked at Jian Ao with resentment, as if he was saying, Why aren't you coming over?! It must have been hard for me to wait for you! Do you know that I was almost beaten to death by such a lowly bloodline ant?!

However, Jian Ao was looking at his nose and heart. He did not see the expression in Little Xuanzi's eyes at all.

Hiss! Hiss!

When Water Snake saw that Little Xuanzi had finally revealed his tiny head and no longer hid in the turtle shell, his big eyes revealed a joyful expression.

You are hiding within the turtle shell, and I can't do anything to you? However, once you come out, your death will be written on you.

A green water pillar shot out from his twisted body and shot towards Little Xuanzi.

Wherever the green water pillar passed by. . . The originally intact ground had turned into a pothole, as if it had been corroded by the poisonous gas.

"This is actually a poisonous snake!" Although Jian Ao's eyes were constantly paying attention to the skeleton, the Soul Energy was still divided into a thread that was constantly paying attention to the battle on Little Xuanzi's side. When he saw the green water pillar, his eyes could not help but narrow.

This was the third time Jian Ao had encountered a snake, but it was different from the previous two times. Whether it was the aura or the nature of the snake, it was incomparable to the previous two times.

The water snake's aura had reached the Third Grade, which was equivalent to a human Sword Master Stage. That was why it was able to suppress Little Xuanzi. Furthermore, its body contained deadly poison. This was an existence that the two snakes could not compare with.

Jian Ao looked at the green water pillar, and a trace of fear flashed across his eyes. If this deadly poison were to be touched by it, unless he circulated the Heavenly Dragon Armor, he was afraid that he would lose a layer of skin if he touched it. When it came to this kind of deadly poison, only Little Xuanzi could rely on his physical body to defend against it.

A human-like contempt flashed across Little Xuanzi's large eyes. This poison might be effective against other lives, but it is useless against me. It is useless.

He did not even look at it. The turtle claw suddenly struck out, instantly scattering the green water pillar. Its body twisted and turned from defense to attack. The claw that it stretched out suddenly enlarged, as if its ancestor, the Black Tortoise, had descended. Its claw was filled with patterns.

The claw slammed down and the ground below suddenly exploded. Numerous cracks formed a spiderweb that spread out in all directions with the water snake as the center.

The water snake's expression changed. It could feel the threat from the claw. It hurriedly spat out poisonous pillars one after another to meet the huge claw.

"Puchi! Puchi!"

Little Xuanzi's furious attack was not so easy to block. Under this claw, the poison pillars shattered inch by inch. The remaining force did not reduce as it once again slammed downwards.

Roar!

The water snake roared furiously. Its tail swept up a large amount of dust as it charged straight forward.

Boom!

The huge claw collided with the tail, creating a deafening sound.

With a cracking sound, the tail broke into two pieces like it was made of paper.

Screech!

The water snake was in great pain and let out a sorrowful cry.

After paying such a huge price, the Profound Tortoise Beast's claw was finally resolved.

After neutralizing the attack, the water snake continuously felt pain on its body as it retreated. It looked at Little Xuanzi and was momentarily stunned.

Just a moment ago, it had been suppressed by Little Xuanzi to the point of beating an ant, but now, it had erupted with such a powerful force. What was going on?

Looking at Little Xuanzi, Water Snake did not dare to make a move for a moment, afraid that he would make another move.

Little Xuanzi's body also withdrew after his attack was broken. His body began to shake intensely, as if he could not endure this rebounding force.

"Huh?" Jian Ao's eyes revealed a look of shock.

Not only did the water snake feel threatened, Jian Ao also felt it.

After that, he laughed. How could a dignified descendant of a Divine Beast not have some strength? It did not even use its full strength to fight against him. Otherwise, the outcome of the battle would be unknown.

However, Jian Ao was feeling the aura of Little Xuanzi through the bloodline contract, making him appear exceptionally weak.
