Chapter Thirty-One: The Vampire Luo Cheng

  Two green pythons rose from the pool of water, their huge pupils coldly staring at the few people below.

  Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Suddenly launched a fierce attack, attacking Hei Pao and Lu Tianhu, both of whom were extremely frightened, wanting to dodge but it was too late, could only grit their teeth and exchange a few moves with the demon snake.

  Clang, Clong

  The sound of metal clashing was incessant, and at this time Xu Long wasn't idle either. However, he directed his fist towards Tao Jiu, the main culprit who had brought them to this hell.

  "Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me."

  Tujiu looked at Xu Long, his heart was shocked, and he reluctantly fought with Xu Long.

  Only Xu Hua and Luo Cheng were ignored.

  Although the situation is still precarious, Xu Hua's heart has a small excitement. With these people helping him to hold on, he secretly swallowed the life energy of two Bishui pythons, as for the third Bishui python, Xu Hua lost its sense, apparently it had already entered deep into the water pool, beyond Xu Hua's sensing range.

  The three-stage Bi Shui Mang's internal life energy was extremely dense, and even Xu Hua's absorption in the dark did not attract their attention, which made Xu Hua's heart even more excited.

  "Ah..."

  The black-robed figure let out a mournful cry, and under the continuous attack of the Azure Water Serpent, he finally couldn't dodge in time. He was struck to one side, and after his body came to a stop, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood and water. His gaze towards the Azure Water Serpent was also especially flustered, and with both hands grasping at the ground, he tried to retreat backwards.

  "Luò Chéng helped him over." Xú Huá said, glancing at the flustered black robe. After all, the black robe was his subordinate, and he had to be rescued since he had the ability.

  Luò Chéngzhèng supported the black robe and retreated backwards, while the vacant Bi Shuǐ Mǎng came to find him. Xú Huá immediately knew he had to take action, otherwise if they both died, he himself would definitely not survive.

  "Looking for death."

  Buzz, buzz!

  A faint rumble of thunder sounded, it was the "Thunder Fist", now Xu Hua had enough cultivation to practice the second layer of "Thunder Fist", but he hadn't been cultivating the first layer for long and hadn't fully grasped it, so he didn't cultivate the second layer. However, even the first layer of "Thunder Fist" was still the strongest attack that Xu Hua currently possessed.

  Perhaps it was the python's natural fear of thunder, and the two green water pythons suddenly trembled all over, Xu Hua immediately seized the opportunity to strike its abdomen seven inches below.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  "Hiss..."

  The Bi Shui Mang let out a pained wail, its snake tail thrashing about ceaselessly. Compared to the others, Xu Hua's attack was even more powerful. Perhaps the Bi Shui Mang could withstand the impact of the others' true energy, but it couldn't withstand Xu Hua's massive fist that struck with precision and force.

  On the other hand, Lu Tianhu followed Xu Hua's example, but the effect was not as remarkable as Xu Hua's.

  "Ah...... My treasure, you damned little bastard, I'm going to kill you!!!" Seeing the pained wails of the demon snake, Tuo Jiu actually disregarded Xu Long's attack and pounced on Xuhua.

  "Looking for death!" Xu Hua's eyes shot out murderous intent, and he had long wanted to kill someone as sinister as Tuo Jiu. Now was the perfect opportunity. "As a human being, you actually colluded with a demon beast, not killing you would not be enough to vent my hatred!"

  Xu Long took advantage of the situation and punched Tuojiu, causing his body to pause for a moment before facing Xu Hua's iron fist again.

  "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

  Tu Jiu only felt a severe pain, and just as he let out a cry, he was completely crushed by Xu Hua's violent force. Not only were his hands broken, but his chest was also torn open with a huge hole, and blood gushed out, looking extremely miserable.

  "Brother Tuo, work with Lu Tianhu to take down one of the Bi Shui Mangs, and leave the other one for me." After killing Tuo Jiu, Xu Hua didn't feel any excitement because he was about to face an even bigger crisis. He discovered that the Bi Shui Mang he had fought, although injured, did not have its abdomen torn open, which meant Xu Hua couldn't deal with this Bi Shui Mang as easily as before.

  It's all settled!

  Maybe I'll really die!

  Xu Hua thought of countless things in an instant, but ultimately he let out a loud roar: "I won't die, I absolutely can't die so easily! No one can make me despair, no one!"

  In an instant, Xu Hua once again activated the "Life Devouring Technique". Since even his strongest attack couldn't penetrate the Bi Shui Mang's seven-inch belly, he would change tactics and continuously absorb its internal life energy until the demon snake completely lost its life.

  This move is extremely dangerous, with a high risk of death, but Xu Hua has no choice but to do so, it's his only way out, the only way he can survive.

  "Come on, you beast, let's see who dies first!"

  "The Devouring Art" has reached its peak, and at this moment, Xu Hua's body has condensed a total of five Life Crystals. These were all formed from the life essence of the Bi Shui Snake and the people who died along the way that Xu Hua secretly absorbed. However, this task was truly too daunting. A single Bi Shui Snake's body contained enough life essence to condense seven or eight Life Crystals. At Xu Hua's current speed, even if he accelerated to his fastest pace, it would be impossible to absorb such a large amount of life essence in a short period of time. However, the demon snake would not give him this time.

  "Luò Chéng, protect yourself well, don't clash head-on with the demon snake!"

  At this time, without the shock of thunder, the demon snake attacked Xu Hua again.

  "Xu Long, you lure the Bi Shui Mang, I'll take care of the attack." Lu Tianhu said while dodging. At this moment, his face looked extremely unsightly, for this relic, most people had already died, leaving only the five of them, and now he just wanted to survive.

  Two-headed green water snake, one head was tied up by Xu Long and Lu Tianhu, the other head stared at Xu Hua, although in the eyes of the demon snake, Xu Hua was just an ant-like insect, but the strong sense of crisis and the fear that came from deep within its heart made it dare not to move forward.

  Xu Hua was frantically extracting the life force from the body of the Bishui python, watching as it didn't dare to come closer, a faintly evil smile spreading across his pale face. Not far away, Luo Cheng occasionally snuck up on another Bishui python, using all his might to recover from his injuries under his black robes.

  Time flew by, and soon both sides faced off for nearly half a time, the black robe had recovered to about 70% of its combat power. Xu Long, Lu Tianhu, and Luo Cheng had consumed a lot of physical strength and were panting heavily. The green water snake that was facing off against Xu Hua finally lost patience after such a long time and bit towards Xu Hua.

  Rumble, rumble...

  In the water pool, a huge snake head suddenly emerged again. It came too suddenly, so that no one noticed it. It seemed to be in great pain, constantly twisting its body. At this moment, it was very close to Lu Tianhu.

  Lu Tianhu suddenly found that there was another green water snake beside him, scaring him pale with no blood color, and for a moment he even forgot his mission. Xulóng beside him seemed to be startled too, so much so that the green water snake that had been entangling them for a long time actually made room for them.

  Hiss... Hiss

  Perhaps it was the painful wail of another companion, or perhaps it was being tormented by Xu Long and his two companions for a long time, causing it to harbor an extraordinary hatred towards them. Seizing the opportunity, it swallowed Lu Tianhu whole in one gulp.

  "Don't... save me..."

  Lu Tianhu wailed, but he discovered it too late and couldn't resist. He could only cry for help, but the green water snake was faster than his cries for help. Xu Long only heard a humming sound before Lu Tianhu was buried in the snake's belly.

  Within a short half day, the three major bandit leaders of Lao Tie Shan were killed. This was the first time for the entire Lao Tie Shan bandit alliance, even when they usually faced revenge from some families in Luo City, they had never paid such a painful price. This day may be a permanent pain for the entire Lao Tie Shan, it is unknown how long it will take to fully recover, and the strong king is not a fool.

  At the same time, the emerald python that was attacking Xu Hua might have been slightly startled by the sudden appearance of its companion, and it swallowed Xu Hua in one gulp. It felt extremely surprised that it had solved the problem of this small insect that made it feel threatened so easily.

  "Ah...young master..." Luo Cheng's eyes turned bright red, as if they had been stained with blood, like a deep crimson gemstone, radiating extreme sorrow.

  The black-robed figure's body stiffened again, as if filled with lead. At this moment, he couldn't control his own body. Xu Long was shocked and horrified, in an instant, two of his main forces had died. How could he resist? He strained his voice to scream: "No..."

  Perhaps it was his misfortune, the emerald python that had been trembling violently as if suffering from great pain suddenly fell down, its massive head smashing down from mid-air and pinning Xu Long who was in the midst of grief.

  Bang...

  Blood splattered everywhere, Xu Long was crushed into a ball of flesh in an instant, blood gushed out and flowed into the water pool, dyeing it red. In silence, another strong warrior king's soul returned to the ground.

  "Hiss...hiss"

  That emerald python was also wailing in agony, with a large amount of fresh blood flowing out from its head, soon dyeing the entire cave red. It struggled painfully but couldn't move, its belly already a mess. Dong Tian Shu wasn't so easy to swallow after all; as a high-ranking martial arts master, even being swallowed into the snake's abdomen didn't immediately kill him. Instead, he severely injured the emerald python from within. The skin of a third-stage emerald python was extremely hard, and ordinary divine weapons couldn't harm it, but its belly was a different story altogether.

  "Why... is it like this... shouldn't be..." The black-robed figure stood up, eyes lifeless, stumbling and staggering with each step.

  The other two green pythons seemed to be uncomfortable and writhing their bodies, perhaps because they had swallowed two living people. Luo Cheng's whole body was emitting a faint red glow at this time, and the blood of the green python under his feet flowed into his body involuntarily, as if an extraordinary demon king had descended upon the world, proclaiming his arrival with slaughter and fresh blood.

  "You all deserve to die... I'm going to kill you..." At this moment, Luo Cheng's emotions were extremely agitated, his heart racing to the extreme, his entire body stained red with snake blood, looking extremely mysterious and abnormal.

  In an instant, all the snake blood from the green water python on the ground flowed rapidly into his body. It was unknown how his small body could hold so much blood compared to the green water python. Even holding two still-wriggling green water pythons seemed unable to control their own blood, as if it would burst out of their bodies. The icy triangular pupils revealed an extremely terrified expression.

  Hei Pao felt the blood flowing out of his body, shocked to the extreme, and looked at Luo Cheng with a gaze like looking at a great demon king.
