Chapter 78: Battle the Ice Krait Serpent King

[HISS HISS!] The entire cave was surrounded by a huge amount of Ice Krait Serpents that flicked their forked tongues.

Lou Mu Yan took out the golden longwhip and whipped the serpents that closed in on her from time to time.
She used her Silk-Mist Steps to manoeuvre around and secretly stuffed small paper bags with powdered drugs to Lou Mu Bai, Yun Lan and the rest.

“In a moment, scatter the powder on the surrounding snakes.
They’ll temporarily lose their ability to move and they’ll be frozen.” Seeing the countless casualties among the serpents on the ground, she telepathically spoke to them in secret.

The people were surprised after receiving her telepathic words, but they held the powder she gave them tightly in their hands and prepared to move at the right moment.

“Elder brother, I’m going into the cave for a while, help cover for me.” Lou Mu Yan moved beside Lou Mu Bai and telepathically told him.

Lou Mu Bai swung his sword to kill the serpents that attacked while furrowing his brows and said disapprovingly: “What are you doing going deeper in? It’s dangerous down there.
Or I’ll go with you.”

“Elder brother, I’m well aware of the situation.
Just help cover for me, I’ll be back soon.” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes were firm.
She couldn’t always rely on others when encountering difficulties, not to mention she had a way to deal with the Serpent King.

Lou Mu Bai felt uneasy, but he also understood the nature of his younger sister.
No one could stop what she set her mind on doing.
After swinging his sword to clear out a portion of the obstacles, he said: “Go, but you must be careful.
If you’re not out in an hour, then I’ll go in to look for you.”

“Alright!” After receiving Lou Mu Bai’s approval, Lou Mu Yan tapped her foot and moved towards the inside of the cave quietly when others weren’t paying attention.

Under Mo Yan’s deliberate release of pressure, the low-level Ice Krait Serpents gave way, and in only moments, she had arrived deeper into the cave.

And her action also fell in the eyes of Lan Si and Yun Zi Mo, but the two didn’t stop her nor say anything about it.
After taking a silent look, they retrieved their gaze and continued to kill the overwhelming serpents.

The cave was completely dark, and the walls were slippery.
After she left the crowd completely, she took out a night-luminous pearl from her interspatial ring, which instantly illuminated ten metres of her surroundings.

She walked forward cautiously as Mo Yan stood on her shoulder, directing her into a long, narrow passage.

“The Ice Krait Serpent King’s at the end of the passage.
I don’t know what Secret Skill it used to cover up the fluctuations of a Demonic Beast and its aura, but that’s why the rest of you didn’t discover the serpent nest and its existence.

“In a bit, I’ll mobilise my innate talent and use the King Class Demonic Beast’s pressure to temporarily trap it.
You take the opportunity to kill it.” Mo Yan moved his deep back eyes, and his tone carried with it an inherent domineering attitude and self-confidence.

Lou Mu Yan halted.
She mobilised the Spiritual Energy within her, bit her right index finger until it bled, and flicked towards the void.
Four drops of blood rose in the sky, then she stretched out her hand to draw four Talisman Incantations with dense Spiritual Energy in the void.
Only then did she carefully leapt into the cave.

As soon as she felt her feet land on the ground by the cave, a sudden extremely cold icicle shot straight towards her.

Lou Mu Yan was vigilant throughout, so the moment she landed, she quickly utilised her Silk-Mist Steps to manoeuvre around.
The chilling icicle just shot past her shoulder and embedded into the wall behind her, smashing out a hole.

She moved a few steps again and stood on a relatively safe high rock.
When she raised her eyes, she met a pair of cold serpent eyes.

The huge body of the serpent opposite her was coiled on a huge ice pillar.
Its whole body was icy blue, and its scales glowed with chillingly light.

It flicked its forked tongue and stared at Mo Yan on Lou Mu Yan’s shoulder greedily.

Seeing the Ice Krait Serpent King stare at Mo Yan as if watching its prey, Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow, smiled and said: “Mo Yan, it’s treating you as if you’re dinner!” There was no shortage of gloating in her tone.

Mo Yan glanced at the woman that was smiling like a flower, turned his head and snorted coldly: “Is something like that guy worthy?”

[HISS HISS!] Hearing the open conversation between the one human and one beast, the Ice Krait Serpent King raised its head and hissed, completely angered.

It discovered that a group of humans had arrived in its territory earlier, so it decided that when the time was right, it would release all the serpents to attack.
It initially wanted to wait for the humans to be bitten to death before going out and swallowing it into its stomach to refine them, but it didn’t expect that there would be a weak human who would break in first.

The most important thing was that on the shoulder of this weak person, there was a mysterious Demonic Beast that resembled a Fire Cloud Mink.
Yet it made it feel as if its energy and blood inflated, and a thirst for it was birthed spontaneously.

There was a voice in its heart that kept telling it that as long as it swallowed and refined the little white beast opposite, it would be able to break through to a Tier 6 Demonic Beast.

That extreme desire caused the Ice Krait Serpent to hiss a few times, opened its mouth and spat out dozens of ice arrows that contained dual elemental attributes towards Lou Mu Yan.
It wanted to kill the one human and one beast before it and devour them.

Lou Mu Yan darted away and manoeuvred around the ice cave ceaselessly.
Because of the difference in their cultivation levels, not to mention the Ice Krait Serpent King owned the dual attributes of ice and water, she could only put in all her effort to barely avoid the ice arrows that constantly shot towards her and prevent herself from being injured.

Mo Yan leapt off Lou Mu Yan’s shoulder.
His body suddenly enlarged from the size of a palm to at least more than a metre long before stopping.
He roared violently towards the Ice Krait Serpent.

[ROAR!!] A deafening roar echoed in the huge ice cave.

Mo Yan integrated a kind of Soul attack-type innate talent into the roar.
The pressure that belonged to a King Class Demonic Beast stacked on top of each other, and like the explosion of a mountain torrent, rolled towards the Ice Krait Serpent King.

Lou Mu Yan also avoided the last ice arrow at that moment.
She muttered a few sentences, waved her hand casually, and four Void Talismans that carried Spiritual Energy rose into the air, taking the opportunity to surround the Ice Krait Serpent while it was stunned by Mo Yan’s roar.

[HISS HISS!] The pressure caused the Ice Krait Serpent to shudder from the bottom of his heart.
Its Demonic Soul within its yao’fu trembled slightly and it raised its head in pain as it hissed a few times.

Although Mo Yan was able to use his innate talent, but because his cultivation base was only at the strength of a Tier 3 Demonic Beast, the same level as Lou Mu Yan, so the period of time that he was able to utilise his innate talent was relatively short.
There was only one chance.

When the pressure that wound around its yao’fu and Demonic Soul gradually dissipated, the Ice Krait Serpent King was completely angered with some fear.
A trace of scarlet rose in its ice-cold serpent eyes.

Seeing that the Demonic Beast that was at least one metre long on the ground had returned to the size of a palm, the Serpent King felt disdain towards it—so what if it was a King Class Demonic Beast.
Now the opponent’s strength wasn’t even comparable to itself from a Middle-Class Demonic Clan.

The greedy colour and fierce light in its eyes grew thicker.
It definitely must swallow its opponent and refine its Demonic Core.
Maybe it wouldn’t only advance to a Tier 6 Demonic Beast, it could also be able to reach Tier 7 or Tier 8.
Just thinking about it dilated its pores in excitement, extremely transparent.

Lou Mu Yan sneered—the Serpent King opposite her would have to pay the price for underestimating her right now.

She created sixteen Taoist Seals in the air and inserted them into the four Void Talismans one by one.

“Four Symbols1 Killing Array, condense!”

Lou Mu Yan exclaimed lightly.
The six Taoist Seals echoed in collaboration with each other, and with the four Void Talismans.
They connected to form a long, transparent ribbon Talisman Incantation which perfectly wrapped around the thick body of the Ice Krait Serpent King.

The Ice Krait Serpent King felt an external force restrain its body.
With a look, he discovered it was that weak human woman that was causing trouble.
It moved its head a little and didn’t place much importance to her, then opened its ferocious mouth and bit towards Mo Yan on the ground.

Lou Mu Yan curled the corners of her lips and spit out a word coldly: “EXPLODE!!”
