Although Xu Huaigu's realm is one level lower, his subordinates have also killed Cui Huai, a ninth-level monk. What's more, he is now one level higher than when he killed Cui Huai. He is not afraid of this snake demon.
In the showdown between the monks, Xueyong took the lead, and Xu Huaigu struck first and gained the upper hand. When he rushed forward, his natal flying sword also went with him, rushing towards him together.
As for the Heart Lake Flying Sword, it still stayed in his Heart Lake. Even though he was fighting against the demon clan now, and everyone knew that he was born with a sword, he could still use the Heart Lake Flying Sword without using it.
After all, the human race knows that he also has a flying sword, but the demon race does not know that if it is hidden well, this is another trump card that can reverse the situation.
Xu Huaigu ran forward, and the snake demon opened its mouth, roared deeply, and quickly twisted its torso.
Then she raised her snake body, and the torso hit him like a steel whip. Xu Huaigu took a quick step and rose into the air. The snake demon's torso hit the ground.
Along with a loud noise, dust flew up on the ground, and a terrifying dent was made, about one foot deep, which was shocking.
If Xu Huaigu was struck with such force, his robe would be destroyed in one strike. If Xu Huaigu was hit a second time, Xu Huaigu would probably have his muscles and bones shattered. Even with the powerful recovery power of the Eighth Realm monk, You have to rest for a year before talking.
When she landed a move, Xu Huaigu naturally responded in kind. Feijian found an opportunity and stabbed her torso on the ground with his sword. However, he saw that the snake's body reacted very quickly. It missed the blow and suddenly pulled away, allowing Xu Huaigu to stab her in the air.
When Xu Huaigu landed from the air, he turned over and swung his sword again. A breeze passed through the air, and a snow-white sword energy emerged and flew towards the snake demon quickly.
However, the snake demon did not dodge this sword attack and was hit by the sword energy forcefully. But when the sword energy touched the snake's body, nothing seemed to happen to her. She only lost a few emerald green scales and a slight blood mark, which posed no threat to her life.
Although the sword energy is fast, it is not a real sword after all, and its power is far inferior. This snake demon has rough skin and thick flesh, and the sword energy is completely useless to her.
Sure enough, every great demon in the Nine Realms has its own strengths. What this snake demon is proud of is her strong physique and flexible body. As long as she is hit by her torso, even the monks in the same realm can't bear it, let alone Xu Huaigu. For this reason, the demon clan sends her Come and attack the city.
As long as she can get close to the city gate, she can destroy the city gate in an instant, which is much easier to use than a battering ram.
Xu Huaigu also thought of this, and he was thinking of ways to prevent the snake demon from approaching the city gate. The two exchanged moves, then took a few steps back, kept a certain distance, and stood still again.
In the first round, it can be said that the two of them were just testing it out. The two sides were still evenly matched, and no one was giving in to the other.
Xu Huaigu looked solemn, and he did not dare to slack off when dealing with this snake demon. This time it was the snake demon who took action first. She shrank back suddenly. Xu Huaigu was still a little confused, so he was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, the snake head quickly shot towards him like an arrow from a string.
A strong wind suddenly emerged, and the snake demon opened its bloody mouth and bit him, and the fishy smell also hit his face.
Because Xu Huaigu was stunned for that moment, he didn't have time to dodge. Seeing that he was about to be bitten by the snake monster, Xu Huaigu turned his hand and twisted out a talisman. His body suddenly flashed ten feet away, letting the snake bite the head.
Fortunately, he still had the Zhang Shuo Talisman on his body, otherwise he would have fallen into the trap of this snake demon. Only then did he realize that the snake demon's shrinking was not to give in, but to accumulate strength, so the snake's head shot out at an extremely fast speed, making it difficult for people to dodge.
Xu Huaigu would not make the same mistake twice. He took a deep breath and secretly recorded the snake demon's tricks in his mind.
Before he had time to breathe, the snake's tail whizzed over again. Xu Huaigu dodged sideways, and the flying sword followed his will, and stabbed the snake demon's torso with another sword.
What surprised Xu Huaigu was that the snake demon didn't even hide. Instead, his flying sword pierced into the flesh and blood, and blood flowed all over the floor.
Being stabbed by a sword cultivator's flying sword is not a pleasant feeling. Not only does the flying sword cut into the flesh and blood, but the sword intent in the flying sword penetrates into the flesh, causing pain as if thousands of arrows are piercing the heart.
The snake demon screamed muffledly, but the snake's tail flexibly retracted and tightly wrapped around Xu Huaigu's flying sword that was still inserted into the snake's body, making it unable to move.
Xu Huaigu's heart suddenly sank, and he tried hard to pull out his flying sword, but the force of the snake's tail was too strong, and the flying sword was tied tightly, and he couldn't get out no matter what.
Xu Huaigu wanted to simply cut off her snake's tail, but the scales on the snake's tail were extremely strong. No matter how Xu Huaigu activated his flying sword, he could only cut a hole in the snake's tail.
No matter how much blood flowed out, the snake demon was determined to bind the flying sword. Xu Huaigu tried his best to draw the flying sword, but he still couldn't draw it out.
This snake demon has been practicing for hundreds of years and is not stupid at all. Although this is a move that kills one thousand enemies and damages eight hundred, Xu Huaigu has achieved her goal without the flying sword.
She didn't want to kill Xu Huaigu. Killing a monk could not influence the overall situation of the war. What she wanted was to capture Tanglin Pass.
Xu Huaigu couldn't draw the flying sword, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and step forward to fight with her with his external sword, the Phoenix Feather Sword. Unexpectedly, the snake demon tied up the flying sword, as if it was done, and did not fight him at all. In the blink of an eye, it spread out four wings as thin as cicada wings from the center of its torso, waving it like a bird, with a huge snake body. It flew up, flew around Xu Huaigu's head, and flew towards the city gate.
Xu Huaigu was shocked again when he saw that the snake had wings. Suddenly I remembered that I had seen it in a book before. There is a strange beast called a snake. Although it has the body of a snake, it has bird-like wings. It can crawl on the ground and fly in the air. I think this is a snake. .
After all, it was his own fault. He didn't realize that the snake actually had wings beforehand. This was his carelessness.
It is said that snakes are the most cunning. With the mind of this snake demon, it is indeed much stronger than other demons who only charge blindly.
Xu Huaigu looked anxious and wanted to step forward to stop him, but his flying sword was still tightly bound by the snake's tail, and he could not fly into the air to intercept it. For a moment, he could only chase on the ground with the Phoenix Feather Sword, and the sword energy could not attack the snake. The snake demon caused substantial damage, which was really embarrassing.
Tan Snake was about to rush to the city gate without Xu Huaigu's obstruction. As long as she swung her tail, the city gate was breached, and the demon clan's ground army swarmed in. Tanglin Pass could be said to have been breached.
Without the protection of the city wall, if you fight at close range, no matter how many human armies you bring, they are still no match for the ferocious and bloodthirsty demon clan. Xu Huaigu was sweating like rain at this time.
Chu Xiuyang also spotted the scene of the snake rushing toward the city gate on the city wall. He was immediately furious and quickly ordered: "All archers, turn around and shoot the flying snake demon!" After that, She took the lead, fully drawing the heavy bow and shooting an arrow.
Chu Xiuyang's arrow skills were excellent, enough to pierce Yang with a hundred steps. At this time, she was aiming at the eyes of the snake demon. The arrow whizzed through quickly and hit the snake in the eye.
But what is somewhat disappointing is that this fully charged arrow did not even penetrate the snake's eyelids.
She just blinked, and the arrow seemed to hit a solid rock.
There was a crisp "bang" sound, it broke in half from the middle, and fell down. Chu Xiuyang's arrow was like this, let alone the arrows of other archers.
Under the rain of arrows, the snake seemed to be in an uninhabited land. It was not affected at all and continued to rush straight towards the city gate.
It was because the archers changed their direction, and the flying monsters above them became so arrogant that they swooped down. In a short time, many soldiers were lost on the city wall.
Chu Xiuyang frowned, her face extremely ugly. She looked anxiously under the city wall, trying to find the shadow of Xu Huaigu, but the bottom was full of burning flames and demon clans with red eyes, and Xu Huaigu could not be found for a while.
Could it be that he was killed by the snake? Chu Xiuyang suddenly regretted the decision made in the tent. If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have let him show off like that!
But he was not like this back then! He acted so cautiously and generously at the beginning, which made Chu Xiuyang have an inexplicable trust in him, and then he agreed to his military order.
This is great. If Tan Snake breaks through the city gate, Tanglin Pass will be finished, and the remaining six passes will also be in danger.
Chu Xiuyang bit her lips tightly, looking anxious. The snake was getting closer and closer to the city gate. Chu Xiuyang saw the soldiers around him being killed by the flying demons with his own eyes. He couldn't save them, and he couldn't help but feel desolate.
Just when she was almost despairing, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared from the demon group under the city wall, brighter than the light of the flames, and headed straight towards the tan snake.
Xu Huaigu finally had no choice but to use the Heart Lake Flying Sword that had not been touched for a long time. Originally he was going to keep it as a trump card, but now he can't keep it because of his carelessness.
Xu Huaigu knew that he had no chance to hesitate anymore, so he could only decisively use the Heart Lake Flying Sword and chase after the snake.
The snake is very close to the city gate. If she breaks the city gate, the soldiers in the city will be massacred, and Xu Huaigu will bear full responsibility!
Xu Huaigu couldn't care about anything now, and just like the demon clan that went crazy, he chased after him with his sword regardless.
When the snake wasn't expecting it, the sword pierced her tailbone. The snake wailed and rolled over, trying to get rid of him.
Xu Huaigu gritted his teeth, grabbed the hilt of the sword tightly, jumped up, and jumped on the back of the snake. Xinhu's flying sword missed the mark and stabbed directly towards the snake's wings.
Strangely enough, the snake's wings are not as strong as the bird's wings, but as fragile as cicada's wings.
Xu Huaigu's Heart Lake Flying Sword poked a hole in her wing, and the snake howled in pain as if it had been stabbed in the heart, and rolled around for dear life.
Xu Huaigu finally couldn't hold on anymore and was thrown off by the snake, falling hard to the ground. The tan snake seemed to hate him so much that it didn't forget to give Xu Huaigu a last-ditch blow, and whipped Xu Huaigu hard with its tail.
Xu Huaigu was unable to resist at this time and couldn't avoid it, so he could only eat the tail forcefully. The robe was torn in an instant, but the remaining strength was still there. He felt as if his internal organs were being crushed to pieces. There was a fishy sweetness in his throat that he could no longer swallow, and Xu Huaigu spurted out a large mouthful of blood.
The tan snake was about to kill him, but he saw a figure coming quickly from the side. He quickly pulled out the sword from his waist and took it out of its sheath, then guarded Xu Huaigu's side.
The snake was originally suspicious, but when it saw someone approaching, it did not dare to take action rashly. Instead, it wanted to determine the realm of the person first, so it did not take action immediately.
Then I saw thunder rolling suddenly on the horizon, and a few lightnings were brewing in it. I was worried that a great monk was coming to support me.
It happened that she was stabbed several times by Xu Huaigu and was injured. She made a mental decision and decided that it would be safer to leave. Therefore, she stopped attacking Xu Huaigu and ran away with her injured wings swaying left and right. .
She wanted to run, but Xu Huaigu felt a surge of anger in his heart, as if he was going crazy. Even though he was also injured, he still tried his best to activate the Xinhu Flying Sword and kill the snake.
Tan Snake thought that Xu Huaigu wanted his flying sword, so he let go of his tail, dropped the flying sword, swung his tail and missed the pursuing Xinhu Flying Sword, and ran away in a hurry.
