At this moment, in a secret place, a tall figure with an extremely slender and supple body sat cross-legged on the ground.
Suddenly, it opened its eyes, which were as sinister and venomous as Viper's, revealing a sharp and fierce light. It roared, "Who dares to break into my cave while I'm not here!"
Then, it suddenly stood up, took a stomp, and left the place, heading rapidly into the cave. Its face was grim as it said, "No matter who it is! You who stole my things will not escape!"
At the same time.
Li Changfeng and his three companions were rushing towards Medicine King Valley at top speed, all extremely wary of that demon, fearing that it would catch up with them!
Yue Hanhai hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly, "Junior sisters! What kind of demon are you talking about, and how strong are they? Could you tell me?"
Hua Xinglian pondered for a moment after hearing this, and slowly said, "This demon looks like a half-human, half-beast. Its face and arms are covered with snake scales, and it has a thick tail. It looks extremely terrifying. Its strength should be above the Grandmaster level. It is very powerful. Neither Zhiruo nor I are a match for it!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Hanhai's expression became extremely solemn. "It seems that it must be a transformed demon beast. To be able to transform into a half-beast at the Grandmaster level, its bloodline must be very strong, not to mention its strength. We must speed up and leave Medicine King Valley as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's expression also became extremely solemn. He wondered if he could withstand such a demonic beast and leave unscathed.
At this moment, the sorcerer returned to the cave and discovered that one Qingxin Seed was missing from the medicinal field, and that the two women had also been rescued. He was furious.
"Useless! What a useless piece of trash! I fed and pampered those two, but they couldn't even guard the back cave properly, and they managed to escape! They deserve to die!"
The sorcerer suddenly sneered, "Luckily you took a Qingxin Seed! Otherwise, it would have been quite difficult for me to find you in such a vast Medicine King Valley!"
All the medicinal herbs here have been specially marked by this demon, so as long as they haven't left the Medicine King Valley, it can find them directly!
Then, the demon's body twisted and turned like a giant snake, its entire body contorted and stuck together, as it frantically chased after them at an astonishing speed!
"We're only five miles away from leaving Medicine King Valley, then that demon won't chase us out!" Yue Hanhai said solemnly.
Suddenly, a gust of wind arose behind them, and a figure abruptly appeared. The figure sneered, "Heh! You think you can escape?"
This figure was the demon who had rushed over. Upon seeing this, Li Changfeng's eyes narrowed. "You are that demon?"
Upon hearing this, the demon's face turned extremely cold, and he said in a deep voice, "I am called the Black Serpent King! I am not some demon or a hybrid of humans. Remember that!"
"Oh! That's true! Dead people really don't need to know so much!"
The Black Serpent King's words chilled everyone to the bone, as if they had fallen into an extremely cold ice cellar. Their faces turned pale, especially Zhou Zhiruo and the other two, who were so frightened that their faces turned bloodless and their bodies trembled slightly!
Seeing this, Li Changfeng's expression became extremely solemn. His true energy surged, ready to unleash its power and engage in a fierce battle with the Black Serpent King at any moment.
Suddenly, the Black Serpent King frowned and asked in confusion, "Your aura... is so familiar. I feel like I've seen you somewhere before!"
Then the Black Serpent King sniffed hard, his eyes gleaming. "It's you! I remember you! Your scent used to make me drool! I never expected to meet you here again. You won't escape this time!"
Li Changfeng was completely bewildered. "When have I ever seen you, you monster! I have no recollection of you whatsoever!"
Upon hearing this Black Serpent King sneered, "Whatever! You're all just food for me anyway!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Black Serpent King's figure blurred for a moment, then suddenly transformed into a blur and rushed towards the two trembling women. He unleashed a powerful palm strike, fiercely attacking the two of them with extremely sharp and vicious force!
Upon seeing this, Li Changfeng's pupils contracted, and his figure blurred as he instantly appeared in front of the two of them. He also struck out with a palm, directly blocking the Black Serpent King's fierce attack. With a loud crack, their palm prints collided violently, generating a burst of energy.
The two were suddenly forced apart, each retreating a distance of three or four zhang. Li Changfeng's hands were slightly numb as he stared at the Black Serpent King with a solemn expression, thinking to himself, "This guy has the strength of a mid-stage Grandmaster! And not just any Grandmaster, his strength is truly formidable!"
The Black Serpent King retreated two or three zhang (approximately 6.6-9 meters) and stopped in mid-air, landing on a large tree. He grinned maliciously and said, "It seems your strength has improved quite a bit over the years! But you're still far inferior to me!"
Li Changfeng secretly transmitted his voice, "You guys go first! I'll hold it off! Then find a secluded spot and send a signal to quickly call your sect elders for backup! I can't hold it off for long, so hurry up!"
Upon hearing this, everyone gritted their teeth, then transformed into blurs and vanished. The Black Serpent King roared in fury, "You think you can leave? No way!"
After saying that, the Black Serpent King suddenly transformed into a blur and chased after them, only to be stopped by Li Changfeng, who had caught up with them. "What? The mighty Black Serpent King is actually running away in a panic! This is not like you!"
Upon hearing this, the Black Serpent King's face darkened. "You don't need to provoke me! Since you're courting death, I'll just kill you first and then go after them. It's the same thing!"
Suddenly, the Black Serpent King attacked, unleashing a burst of black demonic energy from its entire body. A violent black ball of light condensed in its claws, which slashed through the air, creating a hundred-foot-long black claw mark that cleaved the air in five white streaks before hurtling violently toward Li Changfeng.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng's eyes became extremely serious. He suddenly attacked, unleashing his full power of true energy and activating the [Draconic Elephant Prajna] to unleash the first move of [Heavy Sword, No Edge], "Mountain-Splitting Strike." Streams of fierce and domineering Draconic Elephant True Qi surged into the giant sword, erupting with a powerful force of seven dragons and seven elephants.
With a sudden leap, he slashed down with his sword in mid-air. The sword force was powerful and heavy, carrying the earth-shattering might of a sword splitting Mount Hua. The sword itself also exuded a domineering, Edgeless Sword Intent, transforming into a fifty-foot-long dark golden dragon-elephant sword aura.
It slashed fiercely at the menacing claw mark coming from the sky. The air exploded and twisted wherever the sword energy passed, and bursts of explosions rang out. Its power was terrifying!
"Boom—"
A violent collision resounded as Li Changfeng's powerful sword slashed fiercely at the Black Serpent King's hundred-foot-long black claw mark, unleashing an extremely violent shockwave.
Like a surging ripple, it surged outwards, violently shaking and breaking the surrounding trees in its path, its power extremely domineering!
Li Changfeng was suddenly thrown back by the shock, his blood and qi surging, but he forcibly suppressed it. The sword intent accumulated in his heart was not only not dissipated, but the fighting spirit inspired by Li Changfeng became even stronger!
