Knife splashing

Chapter 296 Thunder Kills the Snake
Li Yan is very interested in "The Immortal Treasury of Immortality".

It's very simple. This thing is closely related to the Battle of the Gods and the underworld mission.

And he did not forget Yan Jiuling's two inferences.

After the great flood, there is no more "Emperor" in China!
The Battle of the Gods is not about "conferring" but "banning"!
Others might think that this was nonsense, but Li Yan knew clearly that the seventy-two demons recorded in "The Treasury of Immortals of Immortality" were suppressed in Luofeng Mountain.

They are the descendants of the Gods, immortal beings who are always thinking of escaping.

The "Changsheng Xianku" records seventy-two kinds of longevity techniques, all of which are related to the worship of demon gods and have been scattered throughout China since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

No one knows how many people are practicing in secret.

The guy in front of me is one of them!
Li Yan held his hands behind his back and pinched the Yang Jue technique. Although the other party used a strong scent sachet to cover it up, he still detected a special smell.

It was a smell of blood mixed with snakes.

What this guy is practicing is the "Yin Tai Longevity Technique"!
This method is extremely insidious and requires absorbing the fetus's innate energy to practice.

The demon god they worship is named Xia Yi, who looks like a white snake with horns on his head. He has thousands of clones, which hide in the bodies of pregnant women. After the fetus dies, his clones will turn into essence and return to his original body.

In short, it is extremely sinister and vicious.

When practicing this "Yin Tai Longevity Technique" and worshipping the demon god Xia Yi at the same time, a snake-like rash will develop on the body surface, just like shedding skin. Every time the skin falls off, the practitioner can regain a little youth.

Of course, just like the former beggar leader "Shan Ye", this person has neither exceeded his life span to disrupt yin and yang, nor has he enough ability to attract the devil's aura, so Gou Die did not react.

But even if there was no mission from the underworld, Li Yan would definitely kill him!
Seeing Li Yan watching coldly without any response, Flower Snake Yang Yun immediately sneered, "It seems to be true. I was wondering, how can a young boy like you have such a big reputation?"

"Humph, what do you mean by solitary cultivation? Most likely you are a kid from some family. You dandies are just relying on your master to create momentum and fame, and you are also seeking reputation..."

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with anger and resentment.

This guy practices evil techniques and there's something wrong with his mind.

Li Yan immediately noticed something strange and said coldly, "Why don't you try it and know?"

"Hahaha…"

Flower Snake Yang Yun was not angry but happy, his eyes were full of excitement. He stretched out his right hand and flicked his black nails, "Since you are a cultivator, do you dare to use magic?"

Li Yan said coldly: "Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Yun sneered and slowly drew out the long sword from his waist as he walked.

At the same time, densely packed tiny poisonous snakes fell out from the sleeves of his wide robe. Each of them was colorful, with a triangular head and an upturned snout.

This is the pit viper, also known as the "seven-step snake".

What’s even more bizarre is that these seven-step snakes are very small, as thick as a little finger and no more than half a foot long. They are densely packed on the ground, making people’s scalps tingle.

At the same time, Yang Yun also whistled.

As the whistle sounded, this strange group of snakes swam rapidly on the ground like an army formation, occupying various places on the ring and slowly approaching Li Yan.

"It's the snake teaching the snake!"

Someone in the crowd below shouted softly.

Many areas in southwestern China have high mountains and dense forests. Some wild places are even infested with spiders and scorpions, snakes and pythons, miasma and poisonous creatures.

Snake cult witchcraft came into being.

The original intention of this method is good. It is good at making snake medicine, helping local people cure diseases, and even using the magic snake to exorcise evil spirits.

The members of the Snake Cult are relatively loosely organized. Most of them are taught by masters or apprentices, or passed down from father to son. They travel around the country, curing diseases, saving lives and exorcising evil spirits. They are called "snake doctors" and "snake witches."

Those who are highly accomplished in Taoism can even use the Dharma snake to pray for rain.

The method of refining this "magic snake" is somewhat similar to Gu, but it is different. People of the Snake Cult can use it to perform magic.

Although Yang Yun, the Flower Snake, was arrogant in words, he was actually cautious. He set up a snake formation from the beginning and kept a distance from Li Yan.

What’s even more annoying is that this guy has been standing in the corner of the ring the whole time. Obviously, if he senses something is wrong, he will jump off the ring immediately.

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the Dust-Breaking Sword came out of its sheath with a clang. He swung the sword horizontally and sneered, "You are so scared, why are you still fighting? Just jump down by yourself."

"Hahaha…"

Many people in the audience burst into laughter.

Everyone can see what the Flower Snake Yang Yun is planning.

Using the snake formation to create distance, Yang Yun had a way to deal with Li Yan whether he leaped over or used magic.

If Li Yan was really a ruthless person, he could also jump off the ring and escape.

It can be said that this is the safest strategy.

There is nothing wrong with doing this when facing an unfamiliar enemy, but the other party just boasted beforehand, which makes you look like a clown.

Seeing everyone laughing at him, Shi Chen, the leader of the sect, also looked unhappy. He turned his head and whispered, "Is this guy any good?"

Next to him was an old man in a blue cloth robe. Hearing this, he quickly whispered, "Master Shi, this man is well-known in the Xiangxi Road, but he is usually cautious and will do anything to get what he wants."

"Hmph, whoever survives will have the last laugh!"

Sure enough, after hearing the people's laughter, Yang Yun, the Flower Snake on the stage, didn't care at all, but his eyes became cold, "Anyone who said this to me is dead..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand and swung it.

call out!
A black light came whizzing, and it turned out that the other party used a hidden weapon.

The opponent's hidden weapon is also a rare and strange snake-shaped dart, shaped like a small black snake, with a sharp spike in the front, emitting a faint blue light, and obviously laced with venom, floating in the air.

Li Yan frowned and swung his knife to push it away.

It was difficult to judge the route of this kind of dart, but he had the ability of smell, so as long as he reacted quickly, he would be fine. Just like when he was ambushed by Meishan's magic arrow, the arc was more tricky, but he was still caught.

But at the same time, several poisonous snakes on the ground arched their bodies, suddenly jumped up, bared their fangs, and attacked him.

However, Li Yan's knife was faster.

As he turned sideways, the Duanchen Sword in his hand was swung left and right, turning into a flash of sword light, crushing all the poisonous snakes that were attacking him.

The flower snake Yang Yun on the opposite side laughed strangely and whistled continuously. He walked around the stage with a long sword in his hand, threw out snake-shaped darts, and coordinated with the poisonous snake to attack Li Yan.

For a time, a suppressive trend was formed.

Although Li Yan swung his sword as fast as lightning to protect himself, he was attacked from both sides and seemed unable to fight back.

Many people in the audience also looked solemn.

They were not worried about Li Yan, a young man from Guanzhong, whose life or death had nothing to do with them.

They just deduced in their minds that if they were to fall into such a situation, they would probably not be able to hold on for long and would die.

This flower snake Yang Yun is insidious and cunning, and is indeed difficult to deal with.

Only a few experts discovered that all this was just an appearance.

Li Yan on the stage seemed to be in a panic, but his eyes were extremely calm as the knife flashed.

The corners of Zhang Xiaoshan's mouth also curved up.

He had seen that Li Yan was measuring the distance and waiting for the opportunity.

Sure enough, as the poisonous snakes on the ring were continuously strangled, a trace of heartache flashed in the eyes of the flower snake Yang Yun.

He didn't expect that Li Yan could defend himself so well.

These are magic snakes. When cultivating and refining them, they require some natural treasures and precious herbs, which are very expensive.

If they are all killed, we will lose money this time.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but move closer, and at the same time took out an iron fan from his arms and opened it with a rustling sound.

There was a cobra head painted on the iron fan.

I don't know what kind of paint was used to paint the snake's eyes, but even in the daytime, they emitted a faint fluorescent light, as if they were alive.

The Flower Snake Yang Yun stopped whistling, and instead quickly made hand gestures, chanting an obscure and difficult-to-understand spell in his local dialect.

Without the whistle, the snake formation on the ground became chaotic. At this moment, Li Yan's hidden strength burst out, and he suddenly jumped into the air, crossed the snake formation, and rushed towards him.

However, a hint of pride appeared in the eyes of the Flower Snake Yang Yun, and he suddenly whistled again.

Whoosh whoosh!
The snake formation on the ground erupted again.

Small poisonous snakes shot up, and Li Yan was already in the air, becoming a moving target.

However, Li Yan was prepared.

As he soared into the air, the tassels of the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coin Knife suddenly rang, and a fierce murderous intent spread outward.

With his current level of cultivation, the power of the Demon-Suppressing Coin is becoming even stronger.

The terrifying murderous intent immediately scattered the snake formation.

In fact, Li Yan has plenty of ways to deal with this thing. If he took out the Divine Tiger Order and used the Beidi Mountain Climbing Technique or the protective spell, he would have driven away the snakes long ago.

But in that case, the flower snake Yang Yun would also be scared away.

In this situation, it would be appropriate to use the Soul-Catching Rope, but that is a trump card, and most of the enemies you have seen are dead.

If you perform in public, your magical powers will inevitably be discovered by others.

Therefore, we can only adopt this strategy.

Seeing that the snake formation failed to stop Li Yan, and feeling the terrifying magic weapon on the other party, Flower Snake Yang Yun's face changed and he quickly retreated.

However, it was all too late.

Li Yan was only a few meters away from him. After landing, he pointed his toes and accelerated again. The Dust-Breaking Sword was like a flash of lightning, piercing Yang Yun's throat.

"Think beautifully!"

The flower snake Yang Yun had no way to escape at this time, and became extremely ferocious. He raised the long sword in his hand and stabbed at Li Yan without dodging.

This is a fight to the death.

From being timid just now to being crazy now.

The style changes in just a moment.

Even the people in the audience were secretly frightened.

The life-and-death struggle in the martial arts world is sometimes also a psychological battle. Experienced masters can always use this kind of change to disrupt the opponent's mind.

These were also Yang Yun’s shady tricks.

Just as he swung his sword, three black shadows suddenly popped out from the other sleeve, rolling and twisting, directly entangled Li Yan's Duanchen Sword.

Three more poisonous snakes.

These three poisonous snakes were completely different from the ones on the ground. Their scales emitted a metallic luster. When they came into contact with the blade of Li Yan's Duanchen Knife, the friction between their scales actually emitted a tinkling fire.

Another weird snake!
It was not afraid of swords or spears, was extremely resilient, and had great strength. It actually entangled the Duanchen Sword tightly and stopped the sword's momentum.

At the same time, the Flower Snake Yang Yun also laughed grimly, and with the poisoned sword in his other hand, he stabbed Li Yan's heart.

All of his tricks are summed up between life and death.

Countless masters have been killed by his tricks, and the young man in front of him is just a name, but he still can't escape death.

But at this moment, his whole body suddenly stiffened.

I saw a flash of lightning on the blade of Duan Chen's sword, which passed through the poisonous snakes and went directly into his body.

This is the Yin Thunder of the Northern Emperor, which can attack the soul.

The flower snake Yang Yun didn't have time to react at all. His head was buzzing, his whole body was stiff, and everything in front of his eyes was dark.

The fear of death rose in his heart, but he still relied on the last bit of his sanity to tightly control the poisonous snake to block Li Yan's blade.

He practiced the "Yin Tai Changsheng Technique". As long as he blocked a fatal attack, even if he was cut, he would have a chance to recover in the future.

However, Li Yan's other fist had already clenched suddenly, with a squeak of electric arc, and he pulled the Dust-Breaking Knife suddenly, pulling the Flower Snake Yang Yun straight in front of him.

A fist flashing with electric light suddenly smashed out.

boom!
There was a loud roar, as if a thunderstorm was rising on the stage.

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere. The head of the flower snake Yang Yun was blown up directly, leaving only a headless corpse. It swayed and fell to the ground.

Li Yan had a blank expression on his face. He shook the Dust-Breaking Knife, sparks flew everywhere, and he cut the three iron-skinned poisonous snakes into several pieces. Then he made another knife move and stabbed the opponent's heart fiercely.

Refa!

The people in the audience were shocked and felt a little strange.

This young man is so murderous. He has already beaten someone to death, so why does he need to torture the corpse like that?

But what happened next made their scalps tingle.

The Dust-Breaking Knife pierced into the heart of the Flower Snake Yang Yun, and crackling lightning surrounded it. The headless corpse also kept shaking, as if it was struggling.

Foul-smelling black smoke continued to emerge from the chest of the corpse.

As the black smoke completely dissipated, all the little vipers on the stage froze and became motionless.

After doing all this, Li Yan kicked the corpse off the stage and said in a cold voice: "This person practiced evil methods, and his corpse will definitely cause trouble after his death. Find someone to burn it clean."

Everyone saw the strange situation on the stage.

The deacon of the Ezhou Chamber of Commerce obviously knew about Li Yan's situation. He nodded quickly when he heard it, and took a few people to move the body to a distant place and set it on fire.

Of course, those little poisonous snakes were not spared either.

After doing all this, the Chamber of Commerce steward jumped onto the stage, took a deep look at Li Yan below the stage, and then spoke:

"In the second round, Guanzhong Li Yan wins!"

"The third round, the Gelaohui, the Four Seas Horse and Carriage Company."

After saying that, he jumped off the stage.

As he announced, two more people jumped onto the stage.

The Gelaohui was considered a martial arts sect with many masters in it. Li Yan had also seen one of them fighting on the stage. He was the "Jian San Ye" from Hanyang City.

The Sihai Chemaxing invited external help, a famous boxer on the Ezhou Road who came from the north and was good at Bajiquan.

It was obvious that they knew each other, as they smiled and bowed when they met.

"Hello, Mr. San!"

"Hello, Brother Wang!"

"We've been too murderous today, how about we stop here?"

"Of course, let's go have a drink afterward."

Although the two have a good relationship and they also stop at a certain point, they are both good fighters after all. One is fierce in Baji and the other is exquisite in the closed-door twenty-four moves.

This kind of fight between masters is rare in normal times.

However, the people in the underworld below the stage kept looking to the other side.

There, the murderous intent in Li Yan's body had not yet dissipated. He whispered to Zhang Xiaoshan from time to time, and occasionally looked up at the Paijiao.

In the distance, several monks from the Law Enforcement Hall also came over.

Shi Chen, the leader of the sect, had a gloomy expression on his face.

Everyone knows that what happened before is probably not over yet.

Sure enough, a monk from the Law Enforcement Hall came over and asked directly: "Shi Paitou, this flower snake Yang Yun..."

"Who introduced you?"
