Besides the cultivation techniques, even the Snake Mother's magical artifacts have the same function.
You can absorb the power of others for your own use, even if they don't share the same origin.
The Snake Mother never had good intentions; she trained so many disciples so that she could absorb their demonic power when she encountered a bottleneck in her cultivation.
After learning the truth, Xiaobai was completely stunned.
She desperately wanted to convince herself, but the more she tried, the more she realized that the facts were exactly as Xu Long had said.
The so-called strictness was actually treating them as slaves to be beaten and scolded at will, and every time they were healed, it was by using the demonic power of other fairies.
The Snake Mother maintained a haughty and selfish demeanor throughout, never treating them as disciples.
"She does the first day of the month, and you do the fifteenth; isn't that a good thing?"
Xu Long reached out and put his arm around Xiaobai's slender waist, saying, "Killing the Snake Mother will finally set you free. Have you forgotten how she tortured Xiao Qing with the Blazing Yang Soul-Severing Scale? If I hadn't intervened, Xiao Qing wouldn't even have had a chance to rebuild her strength."
" Xiao Qing..."
Upon hearing Xu Long's words, a murderous glint immediately appeared on Xiaobai's face.
He implanted the Blazing Yang Soul-Severing Scale into his disciple, whom he had personally trained, just so he could find Xiaobai again.
When Xiao Qing finally found Xiaobai after overcoming numerous obstacles, she was already nearly destroyed by torture.
Xu Long saved Xiao Qing's life, but his cultivation level was reduced to less than one-tenth, and he had to start cultivating again.
Is this how a master treats his disciple?
They were nothing but slaves!
"Kill!"
At Xu Long's command, countless talisman soldiers under his command rushed out like madmen.
These were all created by the Imperial Advisor, and became Xu Long's property after his arrival.
So-called talisman soldiers are puppets made using talismans and other materials.
Compared to ordinary puppets, talisman soldiers are relatively simple to make and consume fewer resources, but they are also less powerful and more easily damaged, so each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Xu Long, having seized control of the entire nation's power, and finding the process of creating talismanic soldiers quite simple, simply produced more than he needed.
As for the quantity...
Hmm, it should be around one million!
The sheer number of talisman soldiers surging into the Snake Cavern was a nightmare for the demons.
It stretched as far as the eye could see, filled entirely with talisman soldiers.
"Report! Report!"
A thick, long python darted into the Snake Cavern, and in its haste, it even smashed several pieces of the stone at the entrance.
What happened? What made you so panicked?
A hoarse, muffled voice rang out, and two lantern-sized, blood-red eyes slowly retreated from the depths of the Snake Cavern, reappearing as a large, white woman.
She is about 1.7 meters tall, with a voluptuous figure and exceptionally large breasts that cannot be contained even by armor formed from scales.
Two small snakes flicked their tongues above its head, and its eyes were filled with murderous intent.
It has to be said, the Snake Mother truly lives up to her Snake Mother; just by looking at her figure, you can tell she could easily nurse dozens of children.
"Talisman soldiers... there are talisman soldiers everywhere outside... the Imperial Advisor... the Imperial Advisor has led his men in..."
"What?"
Upon hearing the python's words, the Snake Mother was immediately terrified.
Since the Imperial Advisor revoked the order to capture snakes ten years ago, the demons in the Snake Cavern have had a much better life.
Although it's unclear why the Imperial Advisor changed his mind, there's no doubt this is good news.
Although the Snake Mother was greedy and cruel, she was extremely cautious and did not intend to fight back even after many of her disciples were killed.
They thought the matter was over and that as long as she didn't cause trouble, the Imperial Advisor wouldn't catch snakes anymore.
However, to everyone's surprise, after only ten years of peace, the Imperial Advisor actually led his troops to attack our doorstep!
"This is outrageous! Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"
The Snake Mother roared, wishing she could rush out and tear Xu Long to pieces.
"Kill! Even if the Snake Cavern is destroyed today, we absolutely cannot let those damned humans get away with it!"
Xu Long led Xiaobai forward at a leisurely pace.
The battle between the talisman soldiers and the fairies around them was extremely fierce. Every moment, countless talisman soldiers were destroyed, and many fairies died.
These demons are too weak to be rewarded for killing, but Xiaobai's hairpin can absorb their power.
This thing has been carefully modified by the old fox of Baoqing Workshop, and the mark belonging to the Snake Mother has been completely removed. Its priority in absorbing power is even a level higher than that of the Snake Mother's magic.
Xu Long attacked the Ten Thousand Snake Cave not to avenge Xiaobai Bai, but to kill the Snake Mother and absorb her power.
The stronger Xiaobai is, the more Ultimate Yin Qi possesses, and the faster she recovers.
The Ultimate Yin Qi is of great use to Xu Long; helping Xiaobai is helping himself.
The gap between the Nascent Soul Stage and the Golden Core Stage is too great; even with the Power of Extreme Yang, Absolute Yin, it is impossible to completely erase the chasm between them.
After ten years, Xu Long's cultivation level had risen from the Middle Golden Core Stage to the Late Golden Core Stage, and he still possessed ten Heaven-Shaking Thunder. However, he was still not entirely confident in killing a Nascent Soul Stage stage expert.
However, if one obtains the power of the many demons within the Snake Cavern, then things might be different.
"Kill them!"
Xu Long sneered inwardly, letting the monsters pounce on him.
Bang!
The Soul Crystal Wall shattered, transforming into sharp swords that shot out wildly.
All the demons within a ten-meter radius were riddled with bullets, and the talisman soldiers were also destroyed.
"So you mean the Snake Cavern?"
Xu Long looked at the distant mountain, a cold smile playing on his lips.
This Snake Mother is really patient; she won't even show herself when we've come knocking on her door.
"Since you won't come out, then I'll force you to!"
The Azure Firmament Celestial Star Formation Diagram slowly emerged behind him, with nine stars rotating gently before transforming into a gigantic Dharma Body over five hundred meters tall.
boom!
He slammed a powerful punch into the mountain, the terrifying force penetrating and violently surging through it.
Almost instantly, all living beings below the Golden Core Stage inside the mountain perished, and those below the Nascent Soul Stage stage were all severely injured. Even the Snake Mother could not ignore the power of this punch.
" Taiyin! You've gone too far!"
The Snake Mother roared angrily, and a three-headed black python, about a kilometer long and ten meters thick, rushed out from the collapsed mountain and instantly leaped in front of the Colossus Dharma Body.
Bang bang bang!
Dozens of Soul Crystal Wall shattered simultaneously, ultimately blocking the Snake Mother's attack.
"Really? So what if I'm bullying you?"
Xu Long snorted disdainfully and swung his fist, smashing it into the left side of his head.
A deafening roar erupted, sending debris flying, and the Snake Mother was instantly injured.
But as an old monster who has cultivated for hundreds of years, the Snake Mother is not someone who can be bullied easily.
The large mouth in the middle bit down hard on the arm of the Colossus Dharma Body, and its thick body tightly wrapped around Xu Long.
This is a skill possessed by all snakes: using their powerful muscles to crush the bones and damage the internal organs of their target.
"Pah! You shameless old woman, you actually dared to cling to me!"
The Colossus Dharma Body spat out a mouthful of saliva and bit down on the Snake Mother's belly.
