Chapter 1374 Today's Crisis

After cultivating to the half-step fusion realm, the Winged Scale Snake's wisdom is not much worse than that of Zhou Yiqiao and the other two.

It ignored Luo Lishang and Li Mubai who were closer to it, and flew straight towards Zhou Yiqiao who was more seriously injured.

Zhou Yiqiao's heart trembled, knowing that he had become the Winged Scale Snake's primary target.

He suppressed the surging blood in his body, and stared at the rapidly approaching behemoth with his eyes as sharp as torches.

"Humph, you think I'm a pushover, then you've got the wrong person!"

After he finished speaking, Zhou Yiqiao slapped the storage bag on his waist, and spiritual power surged in his hand. The next moment, a blue night language flower emitting a faint blue light and with leaves like gauze appeared in his hand.

Zhou Yiqiao swallowed the whole Blue Nighttalk flower without any hesitation.

In an instant, a cool feeling spread from his abdomen to his entire body, as if a clear spring was nourishing his injured body, quickly restoring his spiritual and physical strength.

As the power of the spiritual medicine flowed through his body, Zhou Yiqiao's momentum gradually rose. In just one breath, his cultivation level rose from the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm all the way up to the late stage of the Refining Void Realm.

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and the Dusk Sword in his hand made a humming sound again, and the sword intent became more condensed.

The winged snake noticed Zhou Yiqiao's change, but it did not retreat. Instead, it attacked even more violently. Its huge body brought up a gust of wind, as if it wanted to swallow Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao took a deep breath and used the spiritual power that had grown out of nowhere in his body. He summoned the Jade Spirit Flame to quickly suppress the wounds in his body, while frantically infusing the remaining spiritual energy into the Dusk Sword.

The tip of the sword trembled, as if responding to the will of its master, and the light on the Dusk Sword suddenly became brighter.

Two different yet extremely close sword energies radiated from the Dusk Sword, entangling Zhou Yiqiao's body and emitting dazzling sparks.

Luo Lishang saw through Zhou Yiqiao's thoughts in an instant and shouted loudly.

"Mr. Zhou, the fusion of sword intent has not yet been refined to the point where one person can perform it. Do not take the risk and try!"

However, Zhou Yiqiao, who was already in danger of death, had no time to care about Luo Lishang's warning. He used his mind to force the two sword intents to mix together, and they gathered at the periphery of the Mumu magic sword into a long sword with sword intent that was hundreds of feet long!

The winged snake felt an unprecedented threat, and a trace of fear flashed in its red eyes, but was immediately replaced by a violent fighting spirit.

It opened its huge mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and the familiar energy ball condensed in its mouth again.

But this time, the power contained in the energy ball was even more violent than before. It rushed out almost in the blink of an eye and collided fiercely with the long sword of sword intent condensed outside the Dusk Magic Sword!

"boom!"

The loud noise was like a muffled thunder, and Zhou Yiqiao's Dusk Magic Sword was directly bounced out by the shock wave, heavily smashing on the steep cliff at the edge of the cliff, directly flattening the entire mountain top.

Zhou Yiqiao only felt a huge force transmitted into his body through the sword. His internal organs seemed to be stirred by this force. His throat felt sweet and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

His face turned pale as paper in an instant, but the fighting spirit in his eyes did not diminish.

The winged snake is not having a good time either.

Although its energy ball was violent, it was cut into pieces by Zhou Yiqiao's sword. Its huge body was knocked backwards by the recoil force and fell heavily to the ground, creating a huge hole.

Seeing this, Luo Lishang and Li Mubai immediately seized the opportunity. Their figures appeared on both sides of the winged snake like ghosts. The magic weapons and swords in their hands lit up again, leaving the winged snake no chance to breathe.

Luo Lishang's Nine Heavens Mysterious Spiritual Silk was like a nimble dragon, tightly wrapped around the winged snake's body and constantly contracting. Every contraction made the winged snake's scales creak, as if they would break at any time.

Li Mubai threw out his own life force, and spiritual power poured out. The sword light was like a violent storm, carrying the force of thunder and lightning, and continuously bombarded the winged snake.

The sword flashed, lightning and thunder roared, and every strike left a shocking mark on the scales of the winged snake.

The Winged Scale Snake howled in pain. It struggled with all its might to break free from the two men's restraints, and then summoned up its last bit of strength to try to break free from the restraints of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Silk.

But Luo Lishang's magic power continued to flow in, causing the silk to become tighter and tighter, and the winged snake's movements became slower and slower.

Finally, under Li Mubai's fierce attack, the scales of the winged snake were broken, and a deep wound appeared on its abdomen, and blood gushed out like a spring.

The winged snake let out a shrill scream and its body began to twitch violently.

A smelly blood mist filled the air. The Winged Snake's struggle gradually weakened. Finally, its huge body fell weakly to the ground, and there was no movement anymore.

Zhou Yiqiao barely supported his body and stood up from the rubble. His clothes were already stained with blood. Although he was exhausted, he still showed a smile of surviving a disaster on his face as he looked at the Winged Scale Snake lying on the ground.

"Brother Zhou, how are you?"

Li Mubai quickly came to Zhou Yiqiao and asked with concern.

Zhou Yiqiao waved his hand. Although his voice was a little weak, his tone was firm.

"I can still hold on for now, but I've overused my spiritual energy. If I don't have a quiet place to recover as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will damage my foundation and leave sequelae."

Luo Lishang and Li Mubai showed worry on their faces, especially Luo Lishang, the one who made the request, whose face was full of guilt.

"It's all because of me that Master Zhou fell into this situation."

Zhou Yiqiao shook his head slightly and rejected Luo Lishang's idea with a serious face.

"Since Zhou has agreed to lend a helping hand to Her Royal Highness, I have naturally considered the current situation."

"If anyone is to blame, it can only be blamed on Zhou's lack of strength, which is unable to deal with such a monster."

Looking at Zhou Yiqiao whose breathing was becoming increasingly heavy, Li Mubai frowned slightly and spoke in a deep voice with a slightly commanding tone.

"Focus on controlling the injuries in your body, and don't be distracted by talking to us."

"We can't stay here for long. We must find a safe place as soon as possible so that Brother Zhou can recover in peace."

Upon hearing this, Luo Lishang stood up anxiously and released his spiritual sense to find a relatively safe area for Zhou Yiqiao.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from not far away, accompanied by a few shouts.

"Royal sister, is that you?"

Zhou Yiqiao and the other two turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a group of people approaching them quickly.

The leader was a young man in silver armor. He had a handsome face and a look of determination between his brows.

Behind him followed a group of ragged and wounded monks, who had obviously just experienced a tough battle.

A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Lishang's eyes, and she immediately recognized the young man in the lead. He was her royal brother, Luo Lihan.

"Brother Han!"

Luo Lishang walked forward quickly, his eyes full of concern.

"Are you okay? What's the situation here?"

Luo Lihan was obviously relieved to see that Luo Lishang was safe and sound, but then he saw Zhou Yiqiao's injuries and frowned.

"Imperial sister, I'm fine."

Luo Lihan answered quickly, then turned to Zhou Yiqiao with respect in his eyes.

"What happened to this young master? He looks seriously injured."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled bitterly, raised his hand and pointed at the winged snake that died miserably not far away, and explained aloud.

"I'm not strong enough. I was injured in the battle with the Winged Scale Snake. I need to find a place to recuperate."

Luo Lihan immediately understood the urgency of the situation. He looked around and pointed in one direction.

"Our temporary camp is in the valley over there. Although it is simple, it is safe enough for Master Zhou to recuperate."

Luo Lishang agreed immediately.

"Then let's go quickly. Mr. Zhou's injury cannot be delayed."

Led by Luo Lihan, the group headed towards the camp cautiously.

Although Zhou Yiqiao was injured, he was able to stay at the end of the team with the constant support of Luo Lishang and Li Mubai's spiritual power.

After finding out that Zhou Yiqiao and the other two were here to help him solve the internal problems in the Long Snake Realm, Luo Lihan simply reported the current situation of the Long Snake Realm to Luo Lishang and the others as they walked.

"My brother can confirm that these ancient species must have been introduced from outside the Long Snake Realm."

There was a hint of fatigue in Luo Lihan's voice.

"We originally thought it was just an ordinary monster riot, but as the investigation deepened, more and more clues showed that there were traces of human manipulation behind it."

"Someone deliberately opened the passage between the Long Snake Realm and the outside world and brought in these powerful ancient species in an attempt to create chaos."

Upon hearing this, Luo Lishang frowned and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Have you found out where these ancient species entered the Long Snake World from?"

"As long as I can find the exact location, I should be able to tell from the remaining spiritual energy which force is responsible."

In front of Luo Lishang, Luo Lihan did not have the airs of a prince at all and answered honestly and simply.

"We have discovered three possible entrances, but we are still unsure which one they are."

"This group of people is extremely cunning. They deliberately left obvious traces of battle everywhere. Their spiritual energy is extremely disordered. It is impossible to find out what kind of practice they are."

"and."

When Luo Lihan said this, his expression became more solemn.

"After entering the Long Snake World, these ancient species quickly adapted to the environment of this small world."

"At first, I, your Royal Brother, can lead my monks to investigate at three possible entrances."

"But within a dozen days, these ancient species became stronger after adapting to the environment and used these three entrances as breeding nests. Our monks suffered heavy losses and could no longer approach those areas."

"The current situation is that those ancient species have occupied 70% of the land of the Long Snake Realm. If the imperial sisters arrive a little later, I will have no choice but to lead my monks to retreat from this world and return to the Great Mysterious Heaven to apologize."
