The rhinoceros-horned green python suddenly attacked. Li Yan only felt a huge force coming from the fan bones. His wrist holding the fan was numb and his body had to use the force to retreat backwards.
"Boy, your magic weapon is great, but unfortunately your cultivation is not enough. Please leave it to me!"
Not until these words came out of his mouth did a blurry figure appear at the place where Li Yan had just stopped, and the afterimage of the rhinoceros-horned green python in the distance was slowly fading and dissipating.
As soon as the figure of the rhinoceros-horned green python appeared, it took another step across and came to Li Yan's left side at a faster speed. Its fist turned into a claw and slashed towards Li Yan's neck horizontally, making a sharp whistling sound that broke through the air and seemed to tear the space apart.
Li Yan's face also changed. He didn't expect the rhinoceros-horned green python's attack to be so fast, without any delay at all.
Li Yan quickly leaned back to avoid the sharp claws that were grabbing his neck. The rhino-horned green python's claws almost scratched Li Yan's skin, brushing against Li Yan's antibodies and spiritual power, causing a series of explosions.
At the same time, Li Yan's left hand's slender fingers stroked the folding fan, and suddenly a streak of light flew out from the front end of the fan. This streak of light was like a vast river formed in front of him, and blood rushed to the sky.
The surging blood tide rolled up huge blood-red waves, which formed faces like sharp ghosts in the air, opening their mouths wide and biting the green claws while roaring, as if dozens of ferocious-looking heads were madly besieging, and the claws that were as fast as lightning were immediately submerged in the blood tide.
Li Yan had seen the Blood Hand Flying Scythe use the Blood River Technique before, which caused Zhuo Lingfeng to kill and injure many black-armored demon dogs. After refining the Lihuo Xuanhuang Fan, he was also able to drive the blood river. He didn't know the original name of this technique, so he called it "Blood River Technique".
The rhino-horned green python felt as if its fist was stuck in a quagmire. Under the influence of its demonic power, it was unable to break free immediately. It could not help but snort, "This magic weapon does have some tricks."
At this moment, he had already developed a greedy desire for the Lihuo Xuanhuang Fan. He had a telepathic connection with "Yuzhen Fen Gu" and of course knew about what had happened before. He was extremely envious of the strange flames in the fan. Now, he saw the blood river that appeared and could make his attacks like being stuck in a quagmire. How could he not be delighted
Although he liked it, the severe pain in his hands made him unable to delay for a moment. He immediately inserted his other hand into the sea of blood. He clasped his hands together and made several seals in succession. Then he shouted loudly, and as if tearing silk, with a "sizzle" sound, he forcibly parted the river of blood with both hands and pulled them out.
At this time, the green light on his hands dimmed, and his skin was no longer plump, as if the moisture had been absorbed by something. This made the Rhino-Horned Green Python frown. The strangeness of this blood river was beyond his expectations. It could actually absorb the blood in his body. He had absolute confidence in the strength of his own blood.
He did not have time to think about it. The moment he pulled his hands away, he heard a cold shout in his ears, "Fellow Daoist, you have some tricks!" Then a heat wave descended from the sky, and the surging river of blood in front of him also rolled towards his body as he pulled his hands back, as if being pulled.
All this happened in a very short period of time. Li Yan blocked, retreated to avoid the attack, and immediately used the Blood River Method to complete it in one go.
When the blood river just wrapped around the opponent's palm, Li Yan had already flashed to the side and back of the rhinoceros-horned green python. With a flash of light in his hand, an iron ruler with flames all over his body smashed towards the head of the rhinoceros-horned green python.
There was a fierce light flashing in the eyes of the rhinoceros-horned green python. He didn't expect that the opponent was so difficult to deal with. Not only was his magic weapon sharp, but the rhythm of his attack was also very well controlled. If the opponent was not so shallow in cultivation, then he really would not be able to capture him.
Li Yan's sharp counterattack aroused his ferocity, and immediately the world was filled with demonic power.
The rhinoceros-horned green python opened its mouth and spit out a green pill, which instantly hit the blood river in front of him. He didn't even glance at the blood river in front of him, but shook his shoulders, and a huge tail suddenly appeared from behind him, sweeping towards the iron ruler from bottom to top.
The green pill spit out by the rhinoceros-horned green python hit the blood river. The blood river, which was originally roaring, suddenly shattered into pieces like a mirror the moment the green pill hit it.
Li Yan, who was being attacked from one side, also turned pale, and the iron bar in his hand slowed down. He did not behave like this on purpose, but his spiritual consciousness was impacted when controlling the blood river. Li Yan felt a surge of blood in his internal organs, his head was dizzy, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Although Li Yan has been promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, his spiritual power is far beyond that of the same level. The five spiritual power tripods in his dantian have expanded several times. The strength of his spiritual power is much higher than that of the great perfection of foundation building. Basically, he is not much different from an ordinary fake elixir cultivator. However, this rhinoceros-horned green python has been roaming the second floor of the Beiming Demon Suppression Tower for so many years, and its strength is far from being as simple as a fake elixir.
Li Yan could even feel that this rhinoceros-horned green python was stronger than the beautiful woman in green gauze he had met before, but seemed to be much weaker than the Red Fire Ancestor.
The fight between the two lasted only a few breaths, and in the blink of an eye, their magical powers were fully displayed.
The rhino-horn green python also changed from initially looking down on him to being serious. Just now when Li Yan used the Blood River to trap him, he felt that the other party's cultivation was not as weak as he looked at the middle stage of foundation building. No wonder his Jade Pillow Bone Splitting Technique was defeated by the other party in just a few moves. "This kid's cultivation is weird. Obviously, his realm is not high, but in addition to the magic weapon, his spiritual power is so powerful that it is infinitely close to the fake pill. However, judging from the degree of spiritual power condensation, it seems that he is still in the middle and late stage of foundation building. I don't know which sect of cultivator he is from."
When masters fight, the outcome is often decided in just a few moves. A seemingly ordinary move can often decide life or death. This is only possible if both sides are evenly matched and the battle lasts for hundreds of rounds, or even days and nights.
So the Rhinoceros-Horned Green Python became serious. The magic pill he spit out contained 60% of his strength in just one strike. Sure enough, Li Yan's mind was immediately hurt by his strike and he fell into a disadvantage.
Affected by his mind, the iron ruler in Li Yan's hand paused for a moment, and the opponent's giant tail had already swept him. Without time to think, Li Yan immediately let go of the iron ruler and quickly dodged to the side.
There was a muffled "puff" sound, which startled the rhinoceros-horned green python, because the collision of the iron ruler and his long tail did not make any sound of metal colliding. Instead, the moment the iron ruler touched the long tail, it turned into flying flames all over the sky. His speculation that the iron ruler would be knocked away or even broken in one go was proven wrong.
The place where the rhinoceros-horned green python's tail hit seemed to be unaffected, and the iron bar immediately disappeared and disintegrated. A red crow appeared near the long tail of the rhinoceros-horned green python. The red crow looked a little listless, but still full of fierceness. As soon as it appeared, it pecked the rhinoceros-horned green python's tail with its body on fire.
The rhinoceros-horned green python's attack missed, and when he was distracted for a moment, he felt a sharp pain in his tail. He growled in pain, and his tail trembled. The red crow let out a mournful cry, and once again turned into flames flying in the sky and collapsed.
When the Red Crow appeared again, it was already a hundred feet away, and its expression was even more exhausted. This iron ruler was something Li Yan got from Cheng Wenming. The greatest power of the magic weapon currently comes from the weapon spirit. The Red Crow weapon spirit had been seriously injured in the battle with the Snow Spirit Lord. Otherwise, with its strength that was at the peak of the second level, it could really fight with the Rhinoceros Horn Green Python.
After feeling the weakness of the Red Crow, it looked at the burning black hole the size of an adult's fist on its tail, pursed its lips, and a fierce light flashed in its eyes. Then it looked at Li Yan who was retreating, and snorted coldly, "You even released the weapon spirit that is seriously injured and not yet healed. You have run out of tricks!" While speaking, the Rhino-Horn Green Python chased after Li Yan again.
At this time, Li Yan had already gone far away from the stream in front of the mountain. His speed suddenly increased. He even abandoned the flying sickle, blood mantis, blood river and iron ruler he had summoned, and fled deep into the jungle. His fight with the rhinoceros-horned green python was very short, but it doubled the pressure on Li Yan. Every time he collided with the rhinoceros-horned green python, he felt like he was being overwhelmed.
"Can you run away?" The voice of the Rhino-Horn Green Python came to Li Yan's ears. The Rhino-Horn Green Python not only had terrifying combat power, but also had an astonishing speed. Before Li Yan could sacrifice the Cloud-Piercing Willow, it quickly got behind Li Yan.
Li Yan, who was retreating, had a cold expression on his face. Seeing that the rhinoceros-horn green python had already attacked him, he tightly grasped the Lihuo Xuanhuang fan in his hand and waved it again. The rhinoceros-horn green python had been paying attention to the fan. Although he seemed to have easily extinguished the fire on Yuzhen Fengu's body just now, he actually consumed a trace of the most powerful demonic power containing essence and blood.
Essence and blood are the most important things besides the soul for both cultivators and monsters. Different from the qi and blood in the whole body, the essence and blood of a foundation-building cultivator is only about ten drops, which are all obtained through untold hardships of practice.
No one would be willing to consume their essence and blood unless it is a critical moment. Once a little bit is consumed, it will disappear permanently and will not recover on its own. One must practice hard again to get it back.
Through the direct feeling of the occipital bone, the rhinoceros-horned green python knew that the ball of fire was too overbearing. Apart from using the demonic power containing essence and blood, he really had no other way to extinguish the overbearing fire.
Now seeing Li Yan, who was fleeing, backhandedly slapped him, causing his quickly approaching body to pause. When he was already on guard, how could he be willing to waste his energy to take it head-on? But the next moment, the rhinoceros-horned green python couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Because although some flames shot out when the opponent fanned the fan, the flames were extremely scarce. Those pitifully few flames dissipated on their own less than an inch away from the treasure fan.
"Boy, I was wondering why I had never heard of such a powerful magic weapon. It must have some restrictions. Otherwise, if you just keep fanning it out, you will be invincible among your peers."
The rhinoceros-horned green python said this, but he was still cautious in his heart, fearing that this human monk was deceiving him and keeping the strange fire in the fan to attack him.
The rhinoceros-horned green python was confident that it was almost impossible to be attacked by the opponent while it was on guard. Sure enough, after Li Yan's attack failed, his face changed and he escaped even faster.
The rhinoceros-horned green python sneered and accelerated its speed again, several times faster than before. At this time, the two of them, one in front and one behind, had just left the edge of the stream.
He swung himself close to Li Yan's side, and his body turned sideways while running. His tail suddenly grew several times longer, and came from the front with a whistling sound, hitting Li Yan in the waist, like an iron chain blocking the river, leaving Li Yan with nowhere to hide while fleeing.
