Chapter 138 Crimson Flame Serpent (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

As dusk deepened, the world gradually grew darker.

On the banks of the Canglang River, an upper reaches of the Longze River, in a desolate area.

There are many tributaries of the river here, and all kinds of brightly colored magical birds and waterfowl catch spirit fish and shrimp on the riverbank.

A streak of turquoise sword light hurtled towards them.

Two figures stood atop the magical flying sword, which was two zhang long.

It was Shen Xuan and the White Lotus Fairy who had come to hunt the water demon.

After a few breaths.

Shen Xuan and the White Lotus Fairy disembarked from their flying swords.

“Master Shen, the water demon is at the bottom of the river nearby.”

"Let's take a break first!"

Shen Xuan found a relatively clean place, sat cross-legged, and began to recover the mental and spiritual energy consumed by flying on his sword.

"Master Shen, are you sure you can handle this? That's a mid-grade second-tier water demon!"

The White Lotus Fairy had never seen Shen Xuan make a move and had doubts about his strength.

She was also a water magic practitioner.

They knew the power of the water demon deep within the river.

"Do you remember the Silver-Winged Teng Snake I sold to you? That was my seventh uncle's spirit beast."

"Seventh Uncle had the Silver-Winged Teng Snake lure the water demon out."

"As a result, the Silver-Winged Teng Snake died within a few breaths of flying out!"

"How about we wait a bit longer? I'll go ask Uncle Qi for help, and we can deal with it together?"

Shen Xuan's face darkened: "Shut up!"

With his [Insight Technique], he sensed subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from the depths of the river.

He faintly heard the roar of a ferocious dragon.

The sound is very soft.

It seems to be very far away.

Yet it was filled with a violent aura.

Soon, the roar of the serpent disappeared.

Everything fell silent.

Shen Xuan asked, "Is the water demon a dragon-like snake?"

"what!"

"Seventh Uncle didn't see the water demon in its entirety."

He guessed it was a dragon-like snake.

Shen Xuan glanced at the dim sky.

He stood up suddenly.

He then transformed into a beam of blue light, stood on the river surface ten miles away, his feet treading on the spiritual waves.

The White Lotus Fairy quickly followed.

"It's located three hundred feet below the bottom of this river."

"what?"

"Shall we lure it up?"

The White Lotus Fairy summoned a white jade python with a touch of heartache.

"This is my spirit beast, Xiaobai. It's only a top-tier first-order beast. I don't know if it can lure that water demon to the surface."

Deep beneath the river lies the domain of water monsters.

The immense water pressure alone is something that ordinary cultivators cannot withstand.

"Little White, be careful, or that water demon will eat you!"

The White Lotus Fairy was still giving instructions to her spirit beast.

Shen Xuan said, "Wait for me here!"

With a flick of his finger, a waterway immediately split off in the river.

Before the White Lotus Fairy's astonished eyes, Shen Xuan leaped down and disappeared into the depths of the Canglang River.

"Shen Xuan!"

The White Lotus Fairy called out.

No response at all.

She was a little confused.

Is Shen Xuan a fool?

In the early stages of Foundation Establishment, he ventured alone into the depths of the river to hunt down a mid-grade second-tier water demon.
It's also a serpent with extraordinary bloodline talent!

How is this any different from delivering vegetables?
She was a little confused.

Standing on the river, I didn't know what to do.

……

Before diving to the bottom of the river, Shen Xuan used the [Auspicious and Inauspicious Technique] several times.

There was no palpitation that terrified him.

He then directly swam into the water.

As his body sank, he drifted further and further away from the surface of the water.

[Insight], [Deep Sea Lurking], and [Immune to All Poisons] were successively unlocked.

The Azure Water Sword appeared in his hand.

[Water Control], [Critical Strike], [Iron Bones], [Overturning Rivers and Seas], [Immense Strength]...

Shen Xuan's hand seals kept changing.

[Condensing Water to Form a Sharp Edge Technique], [Gathering Water Spirit Technique], [Slaying Immortal Water Qi Technique]. A terrifying aura of water qi condensed on the Azure Water Sword.

After doing all this, Shen Xuan continued to sink.

They dived all the way to the bottom of the river.

A strangely shaped, rocky water palace came into view.

Upon reaching the bottom of the river, Shen Xuan seemed to sense something and looked directly into the depths of the underwater palace.

His consciousness was obstructed there.

Faintly, one could sense a massive crimson serpent coiled up there, resting.

Shen Xuan did not deliberately conceal his presence.

Soon, a very uncomfortable smell came towards him.

A crimson flame appeared in the water palace, and wisps of scorching heat spread outwards.

"So that's it!"

Shen Xuan finally recognized the water demon in front of him.

The Crimson Flame Serpent has scales like iron and horns like swords. It can breathe and breathe strange fire and highly venomous snake flames in the water.

This serpent possesses the innate talent of divine dragon bloodline and is born with dragon might.

No wonder the Silver-Winged Flying Serpent was no match for it!

Crimson flames flew out.

As if drawn by some force, the river water that had been blocking the crimson flames parted to create a passage.

In just a moment.

The flames surged, carrying a terrifying aura that could incinerate everything, and enveloped Shen Xuan.

Simultaneously.

A thick, black liquid transformed into a black water arrow and shot towards them at great speed.

"A dual attack of water and fire, you monster, you think highly of me!"

The river water seemed to be burning.

The giant rocks at the bottom of the river, touched by the crimson flames and black water, instantly developed holes.

"hiss!"

The angry roar of the Crimson Flame Serpent came from ahead.

"Is this the strength of a mid-grade second-tier water demon?"

The crimson flames and black water were reflected in Shen Xuan's dark pupils.

Point your finger.

A master-level [Water-Repelling Technique]!
The river water in front of the black water arrow instantly turned into a vacuum.

Then a violent surge of spiritual energy instantly shattered the black water arrow, merging it into the surging river.

The water qi sword energy that had been gathering power on the Azure Water Sword for a long time shot out in an instant, transforming into a dark, blade-shaped spirit fish that exuded a terrifying aura capable of destroying everything.

In an instant, the dark spirit fish and the crimson flames collided.

A violent surge of magical energy erupted.

At the bottom of the Canglang River, the water, hundreds of feet deep, rippled.

The crimson flames were extinguished directly by the dark spirit fish.

Moreover, after absorbing the spiritual energy of the crimson flames, the dark spirit fish seemed even more excited, trembling as it pounced straight at the crimson flame serpent.

at this time.

The demonic power on the Crimson Flame Serpent began to boil, and a dense demonic aura spread out.

The snake's scales are like iron, and the dragon's horns are like swords.

Its four-toed dragon claws extended out, making a single grab.

With the blessing of Shen Xuan's many talents, the dark spirit fish formed from the water qi sword energy cried out and turned into specks of blue light, which then scattered into the river.

"What a wicked beast!"

Shen Xuan dared not hold back.

He changed the hand seals.

All of a sudden.

The White Shield was summoned and placed in front of Shen Xuan.

Several more streams of water-based sword energy condensed on the Azure Water Sword.

The eight methods are combined into one.

next moment.

Shen Xuan pointed forward.

The tip of the Azure Water Sword shone brightly.

Centered on him, the water elemental energy from the surrounding waters, thousands of feet deep, continuously flowed into the Azure Water Sword.

The azure light suddenly dimmed!
The water qi sword energy on the Azure Water Sword transformed into four larger, dark spirit fish, which instantly rushed to the Crimson Flame Serpent and crashed into it.

"hiss!"

The Crimson Flame Serpent roared angrily, its cold, sinister eyes flashing with ferocity.

Faced with Shen Xuan's terrifying attack.

The Crimson Flame Serpent did not dodge.

Instead, it coiled its serpentine body, which was over ten zhang long, with a pair of four-toed dragon claws protecting its heart, and its whole body was filled with a crimson demonic aura.

"boom!"

A dull voice sounded.

The water was shaking violently.
