Lu Xiaotian did not dare be careless in the slightest when faced with the green shadow snakefire released by the Blackwind Demon Python. If it touched him, who knew what terrible consequences might follow? Although body cultivators could defend against magical artifacts to a certain extent, a method like the green shadow snakefire was already different from ordinary magical artifacts. It might well break through his body's defenses and seep inside. As for the even stronger fire flood dragon scale armor, it might not necessarily be useful either.
However, Lu Xiaotian was not without means. He formed spells with both hands, and the golden saber qi erupted in succession toward the Earthsplitter Saber. The magical artifact had developed a spirit, and the Earthsplitter Saber could sense the killing intent in Lu Xiaotian's heart. The saber trembled and gave off a series of faint humming sounds. The dazzling saber qi formed layer upon layer of seemingly illusory shadows, holding its own against the green shadow snakefire.
The green shadow snakefire had appeared only moments ago, yet the snake gall herb seemed to have sensed a great tonic. Its emerald-green leaves trembled, seemingly taking on a few more traces of vitality. But not all plants were wondrous treasures of heaven and earth like the snake gall herb. The other ordinary trees, along with some low-tier spiritual objects, rapidly turned yellow and withered before the naked eye. With the green shadow snakefire at its center, a cold and deathly shock wave seemed to have formed, continuously spreading in all directions.
What the Earthsplitter Saber unleashed, however, was a sharp, metallic force that seemed capable of piercing through everything. It lacked the green shadow snakefire's deadly poison, but its biting saber qi caused an invisible whirlwind to spring up in the previously tranquil forest.
