Elderly Martial Saint: Sixty Times the Cultivation Speed ​​at the Start

Suddenly, a hideous, enormous head covered in bright blue scales emerged from the water.

The creature resembled a dragon, but had no horns or claws. Its head was flat, and its vertical pupils emitted a chilling light. It opened its blood-red maw, its long tongue flicking in and out of the air with a hissing sound.

Yi Yang recognized the monster; it was actually a "Azure Scale Serpent!"

Moreover, it is a demon beast at the first stage of the Profound Realm, "Qixuan"!

Ancient texts describe the Canglin Hui as having bright blue scales that cause the lake surface to churn when it moves. It is highly aggressive, and most terrifyingly, it is also extremely poisonous. A Canglin Hui at the "Qixuan" realm can poison a martial artist at the "Fashen" realm.

Yi Yang's pupils suddenly contracted. He hadn't expected that such a ferocious creature was hidden in the lake.

As soon as the Azure Scale Serpent appeared, its pair of cold, vertical pupils locked onto Yi Yang, who was hiding behind the boulder.

It had clearly spotted the uninvited guest long ago, but had been waiting for the other party to make the first move.

"hiss--!"

The Azure Scale Serpent let out a sharp hiss, and its massive body leaped mostly out of the water.

Instead of attacking immediately, it opened its mouth wide and spewed a powerful breath towards Yi Yang.

A stream of dark green venom, with a strong, foul odor, shot out like a high-pressure water jet.

Wherever the venom passed, the air emitted a sizzling, corrosive sound.

Yi Yang suddenly pushed off with his foot, his body retreating more than ten feet, narrowly avoiding the poison.

The venom landed on the boulder where Yi Yang had previously hidden.

The hard bluestone, taller than a person, reacted instantly upon contact with the venom, as if it had been doused with concentrated sulfuric acid. It emitted puffs of pungent white smoke and was corroded and melted at a visible speed, eventually turning into a pool of black, viscous liquid.

"Such a potent toxicity!"

Yi Yang felt a chill run down his spine.

This stuff is so poisonous it can even melt stone. Although my "Martial Dragon Elephant Body" technique is already perfected, if I were hit head-on by it, I'd probably be skinned alive.

Having missed its target, the Azure Scale Serpent flew into a rage.

Its massive body churned the lake violently, causing the entire surface to boil.

In the next instant, it pounced towards Yi Yang like a blue lightning bolt released from a bow, its huge tail creating a water wall several meters high behind it.

Yi Yang did not take the hit head-on.

He used the "Flowing Crane Soaring Clouds" movement technique, his figure elusive, constantly dodging and weaving around the massive body of the Azure Scale Serpent, searching for its weaknesses.

The Azure Scale Serpent was incredibly fast, and it moved with remarkable ease in the water. Its massive body would sometimes coil around the serpent, sometimes whip its tail, and sometimes violently ram its ferocious head into the water.

In an instant, the entire lakeside was filled with splashing water and flying pebbles.

With his superior agility and keen sense of danger, Yi Yang narrowly escaped the relentless attacks time and time again.

The Xuan Yuan Blade in his hand remained unsheathed.

He is waiting.

Waiting for a chance to strike decisively.

Fighting this thick-skinned, highly venomous monster is the most unwise choice.

We must finish this quickly!

"hiss!"

Unable to break through after a prolonged siege, the Azure Scale Serpent's attacks became even more ferocious.

It suddenly stood upright, its upper body protruding high above the water, its cold, vertical pupils fixed on Yi Yang.

Then, its massive body, like a spring compressed to its limit, suddenly straightened and charged straight at Yi Yang with an unstoppable and resolute attitude.

This is its strongest killing move: using its entire weight and strength to transform into a giant battering ram to ram into the enemy, then entangle and strangle them to death.

Yi Yang's eyes narrowed as he watched the grotesque head grow larger and larger in his field of vision.

The opportunity has arrived!

He stopped dodging, stomped his feet heavily on the ground, and instead of retreating, charged forward to meet the ferocious beast head-on.

At the very moment the two were about to collide.

Yi Yang's body suddenly sank downwards at an odd angle, sliding along the ground.

He passed right through the massive head of the Azure Scale Serpent.

And at the moment of passing through.

The Xuan Yuan Blade he held in his right hand had been drawn from its sheath at some point.

"Vermilion Bird's Blazing Flame!"

The tip of the knife vibrated rapidly in the air, emitting a series of fine buzzing sounds.

Not a single cut.

It was thirty-six consecutive cuts!

Every cut was incredibly precise, striking the same spot.

Three inches below the belly of the Azure-scaled Serpent, at the spot where the scales are the lightest in color.

That's its seven-inch mark!

Thirty-six condensed sword energies intertwined and overlapped in front of Yi Yang, eventually transforming into a blooming lotus flower of flames composed of scorching sword marks.

"burst!"

Yi Yang flicked his wrist.

The lotus flower exploded the moment it took shape!

The violent sword energy, mixed with the penetrating power of the Yi Wood True Qi, poured into the Canglinhui's body through that only opening, pulverizing its internal organs.

"Awooo—!"

The Azure Scale Serpent let out an extremely mournful howl.

Its forward momentum came to an abrupt halt. Its massive body stiffened in mid-air for a moment before crashing heavily to the ground, creating a huge crater.

It rolled and writhed wildly in the pit, venting its dying agony.

But all is in vain.

After a few breaths, its movements gradually slowed down, and finally, it stopped moving completely.

Yi Yang sheathed his sword and stood there, his chest rising and falling slightly.

This move, "Vermilion Bird Burning Flame," consumed nearly 30% of his true energy.

He walked to the enormous corpse, used the tip of his knife to pry open the scales on its abdomen, and carefully took out a fist-sized, dark green poison sac from inside, along with a considerable amount of the heart's essence.

These items, if taken to the market of Hengyue Town, would be enough to exchange for a huge amount of spirit crystals.

The harvest was plentiful.

Yi Yang carefully put away his spoils and turned his gaze back to the True Essence Lotus in the center of the lake.

The guardian beast has been eliminated; this treasure is now his.

He was just about to set off and swim towards the center of the lake.

Sudden.

A fierce clash of weapons, accompanied by several angry shouts, faintly drifted from one side of the distant woods.

Upon hearing the sound, Yi Yang immediately stopped moving.

He looked in the direction from which the sound came, his brows slowly furrowing.
