nChapter 12: Fighting the Demon Snake

nThe night fell, however, the stars were too scarce.

nLin Yan didn’t have a torchlight, yet he shuttled through the mountains and forests like an elf.

nOccasionally, he would stop to pinpoint the direction with the help of the sparse starlight overhead.

nOnly after the crowd looked at his unhesitating footsteps, the people were now truly compromised with what Teng Gang said.

nFrom the very beginning, it seemed like Lin Yan already knew exactly where the demon snake was.

n“Could it be that he had already discovered it in advance when he went over to pick herbs?”

n“But if he knew where the demon snake was, why didn’t he come earlier.”

n“The demon snake is not affected by day and night, but he has a disadvantage at night. If he came during the day, wouldn’t he have a better chance of winning?”

n…

nEveryone outside the Linglong Treasure mirror muttered in a low voice.

nHowever, the scene inside the mirror soon shut them up.

nLin Yan had been running in the mountain forest for more than two hours.

nAnd at this moment, he had already gone deep into the mountain forest and entered an area with few human traces.

nThe surroundings were overgrown with weeds and dead branches.

nThis made his movements more difficult. Like a loach, he had to push away the overgrown weeds, and walk through them.

nShuttle.

nVery soon, a spirit flame floating in the air appeared before him.

nSeeing the spirit fire that normal people were afraid of, Lin Yan was not afraid, or rather he was happy about it.

nHe continued to advance in the direction of the spirit flames and gradually approached a cave.

nThen, an astonishing scene of a large number of bones appeared all around.

nAnd these bones were not only beast bones but also included many human bones.

nThese bones spread out and in the middle of these bones, there were countless colorful poisonous snakes, as well as dark centipedes.

nInside deep mountains and dense forests encountering piles of bones, spirit flames, plus the ground full of poisonous creatures.

nIf the ordinary people saw it, they would be so scared and immediately turn around and run away.

nEven the crowd before the Ling Long treasure mirror felt a little uncomfortable while looking at this scene.

nAlthough they were great saints, and immortals, they don’t want to be involved with this kind of dirty and filthy opponent.

n…

nRegardless, Lin Yan didn’t show any reaction on his face and walked through the middle of these bones.

nHe sneaked through the many poisonous creatures and soon reached a dark hole at the center of the bones.

nThough it was not far to the entrance of the cave, a strong fishy smell had hit his face, which would almost be enough to make the people vomit.

nLin Yan’s face, which had been calm all the time, frowned inevitably.

nBut he still decisively went into the cave entrance.

n“The demon snake is right here.” The person outside the Linglong Treasure Mirror said and he actually looked a little nervous.

nSure enough, in the middle of this cave full of fishy smell, the first thing that appeared was the molt of a huge demonic snake.

nThe molt was more than a foot long, thicker than the human waist.

nJust by looking at this demonic snake’s molt, one could tell how big the demon snake here was.

nAnd what was surprising was the cave was inlaid with a lot of blue mysterious stone.

nWith the help of this faint blue light, everything in the cave can be seen clearly, which was greatly convenient for Lin Yan to move.

nThe demon snake didn’t seem to be in the cave at this moment.

nTaking this as a chance, Lin Yan took out the tools he brought with him and quickly set them up around the area.

nIt seemed like he already prepared a plan to set up a trap so that he could deal with the demon snake.

nWatching Lin Yan’s actions inside the cave, many people outside the Linglong Treasure Mirror turned their heads to look at Teng Gang.

nNow they were kind of sure that what Teng Gang said before was right.

nAlthough the Heavenly Emperor in the mirror was young, his cleverness and his courage were all top-notch.

nEspecially the scheming.

nThey had been watching the Heavenly Emperor’s every move and yet, they didn’t expect it.

nHe had actually done so much in a quiet manner.

nNot only did he determine the location of the demon snake’s cave long ago, he even knew

nexactly when would the demon snake leave the cave.

n“Fortunately, the Heavenly Emperor was eventually locked up inside the Linglong Treasure Mirror by us, otherwise, if he had calculated, I’m afraid that we are already dead by now.”

nUnknown to each other, the crowd silently muttered in their hearts and continued to look at the Linglong Treasure Mirror.

nInside the Linglong Treasure Mirror.

nLin Yan had already used all the weapons he brought with him to set up a trap.

nHe only had an axe left in his hand which he intended to use as a weapon.

nAfter this, he found a corner, curled up, and waited for the demon snake to return.

nRustle! Rustling!

nIn the mysterious blue light, a demon snake that was about ten feet long, thicker than a bucket, with scales that faintly glittered with a hint of gold, slowly swam in from outside the cave.

nIts abdomen was raised high, it should have just eaten.

nWhen entering the cave, the demon snake was suddenly halted, then its pair of cold-blooded eyes narrowed much like a human.

nWith lightning speed, the demon snake abruptly rushed directly towards Lin Yan’s hiding place.

nThis demon snake was obviously in The Innate Realm.

nAs soon as it entered the cave, it discovered the strange aura inside the cave and found Lin Yan’s hiding place.

nNow that he had been discovered, Lin Yan simply jumped out directly, and his figure quickly shuttled through the cave.

nThe demon snake followed him from behind, opened its big mouth, seemingly ready to swallow Lin Yan in one gulp.

nThankfully, the several traps that Lin Yan laid out, at this moment have been triggered.

nFirewood knives, axes, stones, and even sulfur powder and many other things pounded on the demon snake.

nHowever, the horror of the innate demon snake obviously exceeded Lin Yan’s estimation.

nFaced with these attacks, the demon snake just opened its mouth and swept all these things away.

n“The technique …I’m afraid that this demon snake is only one step away from breaking through the Innate Realm.”

nLin Yan couldn’t see the cultivation level of this demon snake, but the people before the Linglong Treasure Mirror, with their profound cultivation, could see the demon snake’s true cultivation with a single glance.

nThis was a demon snake that was about to break through the Innate Stage.

nSuch a demon snake that was just away from entering the innate Realm had two advantages.

nIt’s not only physically stronger but even gain an ability to use some simple techniques.

nWith Lin Yan’s cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refinement together with the help of the Heavenly Spirt Body, facing a demon snake at the Innate Realm would still be challenging.

nBut now he was facing a demon snake that was about to break through the Innate Realm, the gap between the two was so huge that even the Heavenly Saint Body couldn’t make up for it.

n…

nInside the dimly lit cave, the demon snake stared at Lin Yan playfully.

nIt had already started to develop spiritual intelligence and had plenty of time to play with the mole in front of it for a while.

n“There are still four hours left.”

nThe snake demon could wait, but Lin Yan couldn’t.

nSo, he grabbed the axe and took the initiative to rush toward the snake demon.

nThe thick snake tail of the demon snake swept across violently to sweep Lin Yan away.

nHowever, Lin Yan took this opportunity and ruthlessly slashed his axe at the demon snake.

nBang!

nA clear and crisp sound was heard.

nSadly, the axe didn’t manage to cut through the snake scales of the demon snake. Instead, Lin Yan was directly knocked out by the demon snake’s blow and hit the rock wall on the side.

nIt was at this moment the effect of the Heavenly Spirit Body began to play.

nAlthough Lin Yan was bruised all over his body, he still stood up.

nHe directly threw away the axe from his hands, and started using his bare hands and fists, he once again approached the demon snake.

nLike before, the demon snake’s tail swept across again, trying to sweep Lin Yan away.

nBut this time, Lin Yan directly held its snake tail and refused to let it go no matter how the demon snake waved its tail.

nHe even followed the demon snake’s body and crawled towards the demon snake’s head.

nThe demon snake spat out a cloud of poisonous fog from its mouth and sprayed at Lin Yan.

nHe was enveloped by the poisonous fog, even though Lin Yan had the Heavenly Spirt Body, he still felt dizzy.

nIn desperation, he opened his mouth, and recklessly bit down on the demon snake.

nHe continued using his hands vigorously and desperately began to tear the snake scales on the demon snake.

nSuch a crazy move actually tore off a few pieces of the scales of the demon snake.

nThe painful demon snake’s body kept twisting, and it no longer had any intention to play. Its large head fiercely moved toward Lin Yan and bit him.

nIn the dimly lit cave, one man and one snake, all like crazy demons, entangled with each other, desperately trying to kill each other.

n…

nOutside the Linglong Treasure Mirror.

nAt this moment, the whole place turned silent.

nEach of one them present here had experienced countless battles. For them, fighting, and killing would have been commonplace.

nBut at this moment, looking at this single man fighting a demon snake inside the Ling long treasure mirror, they couldn’t help but have a kind of weird feeling.

nObviously, the two sides of the fight were low cultivation, and absolutely not worth mentioning.

nBut the two of them, like crazy demons, fought with almost all means, this made the people think as if it was the end of the world.

nUnder the sky, watching the cruelest fight, Xiao Yanran, who had been looking cold looked at Lin Yan’s desperate appearance in the Linglong Treasure Mirror, her iceberg-like face finally changed.

n“At the Ninth layer of Qi Refinement, the chances of winning against an innate demon snake is too low, even with the Heavenly Spirit Body the result is the same.”

n“If the Heavenly Emperor had started cultivating earlier, in three days, he might have been able to break through to the Innate Heaven.”

n“It’s not his fault, he has never touched cultivation, and he doesn’t know that he has the Heavenly Spirit Body.”

n“If he didn’t know he had the Heavenly Spirit Body, he wouldn’t have been able to practice and get into the Qi Refinement Realm.”

n…

nAmidst the muttering voices of the crowd, the scene inside the Linglong Treasure Mirror changed again.

nOut of nowhere, Lin Yan’s body suddenly burst out with a ray of light, which was fused with the Heavenly Spirit Body on his body together with a shadow.

nThis shadow was one foot tall and appeared extremely sacred, even emitting a compelling aura.

n“It’s Dharma technique! A Dharma technique that can only be condensed by a Dao Entry-Realm cultivator.” This sudden development caused many people to almost gasp.

nLin Yan was only in the Qi Refinement Realm and already condensed the dharma technique.

nThis kind of talent for cultivation made people stupified.

nUsing a Dao Entry-Realm technique to face an innate demon snake was simply bullying.

nLin Yan just waved his hand casually, and the previously unbeatable demon snake was immediately torn into two and died a horrible death on the spot.

nAfter this, Lin Yan’s strength also seemed to be completely exhausted, and fell to the ground.

nThe Dharma glow enveloping his body slowly receded and turned back into a light, which slowly merged back into Lin Yan’s chest.

nThe place where light merged could be clearly seen and it turned out to be a bone with a faint radiance that left a unique pattern on Lin Yan’s chest.

nSurprisingly, the site of the pattern was quite overwhelming.

nAnd without a doubt, it was The Supreme Bone.

n-To be continued!
