Giant Snake Thorns, He Xiangu in Grave Danger

A furious roar—this was the Illusion Demon's warning, a warning to Lü Dongbin and his companion not to attempt to harm him.

The Illusion Demon's body transformed into countless afterimages, flickering in mid-air. Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu chased and attacked simultaneously, neither able to gain the upper hand for the time being.

"Roar!"

Another angry roar erupted, this time from the Illusion Demon, who was venting his rage. His body tumbled in the air, radiating a strong killing intent, and the entire space seemed to turn icy cold.

A giant snake tail stretched out from behind him. This giant tail was ten zhang long and wrapped around Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu in an instant, making them freeze in place.

"So fast!"

Lü Dongbin exclaimed in surprise; he hadn't expected this Illusion Demon to possess such incredible speed.

Moreover, this giant serpent flew at an incredibly fast speed, like lightning. Both Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu were Golden Core Stage cultivators, and their speed was unbelievable, but they still appeared extremely small in front of this giant serpent.

"We can't let ourselves be held back. We must kill this giant serpent before it pulls us behind it!"

Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu shouted in unison, and at the same time, brilliant light burst forth from their bodies.

"Boom!"

The two men slashed fiercely at the giant snake with their swords, but the snake's body was far too tough. Even with their full strength, they could only leave tiny scratches on it, unable to harm the giant snake at all.

"Hmph, you two ants think you can kill me?" The giant snake looked disdainful as it raised its claws and slapped down at the two of them.

He Xiangu's face darkened, and a dazzling light emanated from her body. She slashed her sword down at the giant snake.

The sword strike was incredibly powerful, severing the giant snake's claw and splattering blood, yet the claw remained unharmed.

"This snake isn't afraid of my Soul-Slaying Sword!"

He Xiangu's expression changed slightly, and a hint of panic crept into her heart.

However, the giant snake seemed not to have expected that this ant could cut off its arm. A ferocious look appeared in its eyes, and it opened its huge mouth to bite down on He Xiangu.

"Not good!"

Lü Dongbin's expression changed, and his palm shone brightly as he slammed it towards the giant snake.

This punch contained all of Lü Dongbin's True Essence energy; he refused to believe that he couldn't take down this giant snake with a single blow!

He Xiangu's eyes narrowed, and she quickly summoned Spirit Artifact shield to protect herself.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Lü Dongbin's fist slammed solidly into the shield. The shield trembled, but did not shatter. Instead, the giant snake let out a miserable howl.

A wisp of black smoke rose from his mouth.

He Xiangu and Lü Dongbin were overjoyed.

He Xiangu immediately used her movement Movement Method to rush forward, wielding her sword and attacking wildly. Her sword was exceptionally sharp, and wherever it went, wounds were slashed across the giant snake's body.

However, these wounds healed rapidly, extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they were completely healed.

He Xiangu's face turned pale with shock.

"This guy's recovery ability is so strong?" Lü Dongbin exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmph, this is one of the most terrifying illusions of the Illusion Demon, but I am prepared. No matter how strong your illusion is, you can't hurt me!" He Xiangu snorted coldly, her body radiating a dazzling golden light, and her eyes flashing with ripples.

Upon seeing this, the Illusion Demon's expression changed.

He had witnessed He Xiangu's illusions before; these illusions could bewitch his mind, make him lose his rationality, and cause him to make wrong judgments.

He Xiangu coldly stared at the Illusion Demon. She knew that she and Lü Dongbin were relatively weak and that defeating the Illusion Demon would not be easy, but she believed that it wouldn't be long before she and Lü Dongbin were able to defeat Illusion Demon.

Illusion Demon saw the confident look on He Xiangu and Lü Dongbin's faces, his eyes darkened.

His black scales once again gleamed with a faint black sheen, and the black scales emitted eerie fluctuations. This was the Illusion Demon's spell; he wanted to use his illusion magic to trap He Xiangu and Lü Dongbin, so that he could take the opportunity to escape.

"Illusion Demon, you can't escape!" Lü Dongbin shouted.

Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu moved simultaneously, rushing towards the Illusion Demon, their hands rapidly forming hand seals.

The scales of the Illusion Demon shimmered with a rich black light, emerging layer by layer—a sign that the Illusion Demon was about to unleash its illusion magic.

"Roar!"

Roars erupted from the Illusion Demon's mouth as it opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a cloud of black mist. In an instant, the mist transformed into hundreds of venomous snakes that lunged at the two of them.

"Illusion?" He Xiangu's expression changed drastically. A golden halo shone from her body, enveloping the surroundings. A full moon appeared above her head, rotating in circles and emitting a soft light that shone on her, making her even more beautiful and holy.

The venomous snake hissed as it bit into the golden light, but the venom was absorbed without causing any harm.

"What? It can actually absorb toxins? How is this possible?" the Illusion Demon exclaimed in surprise.

"Illusion Demon, my illusion magic can not only devour poisonous creatures, but also devour people's thoughts, so your illusion magic cannot harm me. Today, I will personally kill you to avenge my master!" He Xiangu shouted coldly, raising her sword high in the air.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

As He Xiangu brandished her sword, the full moon above her head grew brighter and brighter until it became as dazzling as the blazing sun.

A powerful Sword Qi surged from her body. This aura was incredibly strong and extremely sharp, causing even the Illusion Demon to tremble.

"Oh no! That wretched woman is about to unleash her ultimate move!" Illusion Demon's expression changed, and she immediately turned and ran.

"Whoosh..."

With a flicker, He Xiangu vanished from her spot, then reappeared behind Illusion Demon, grabbing its wing.

With a forceful movement, He Xiangu tore the wings off the back of the Illusion Demon, leaving a bloody wound from which blood oozed.

"Ah... I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you..." The Illusion Demon let out a series of shrill screams, his body struggling incessantly, but to no avail. Although he was powerful, he had not reached the God King Realm. At this realm, He Xiangu's strength was even greater than his, which filled the Illusion Demon with fear, and he kept Curse He Xiangu.

"Hmph, you no longer have the chance to kill me!" He Xiangu sneered, pointed her finger, and a golden longsword flew out instantly, piercing the Illusion Demon's chest and emerging from his body.
