Outside Langyu County.
The woods are cut off by a river, the weather is calm and there are occasional bird calls.
Lu Bei was standing in the open space by the river. Perhaps he had been infected with the fishing habit by Lin Yu. When he saw the river, his first reaction was that there were big fish in this river and he would not come back empty-handed.
Not far behind him, She Xuan stood by a tree, her eyes had transformed into snake pupils, and her body reflected and distorted the light, making her invisible on a visual level. In terms of perception, her breathing was smooth, and her heartbeat dropped to the lowest level, like a hibernating venomous snake, restraining her breath to the point where it was difficult to detect.
She Xuan was constrained by her own bloodline, and the path of demon cultivation was quite difficult. During the trip to the demon cultivation cave, she obtained the source of her bloodline, which she refined for half a month and integrated into herself. Her essence was completely transformed, and her strength increased greatly and was incomparable to before.
This is just the beginning. All the conditions for a sudden explosion have been met. In the coming period of time, her strength will increase by leaps and bounds.
To make an inappropriate analogy, She Xuan's previous situation was similar to that of a player with a very high level in his main profession, who never allocated experience in his skills, had weak output and fragile defense, and was useless except for his level. He was a typical bad teammate.
This is also the reason why She Xuan is so confident. After a month of hard training, her strength has greatly increased. On the other hand, even though Lu Bei has good talent, it is impossible for him to improve too much.
After rounding off, this is a sure thing!
Full of strong confidence, She Xuan decided to take the initiative. Holding a dagger in her hand, she came silently behind Lu Bei. Her snake eyes swept across his carotid artery and slowly moved the tip of the dagger towards him.
“There’s murderous intent!”
Lu Bei let out a low shout, took two steps apart, used his front foot as the axis, and rotated his body to kick out with his back foot.
The dragon wags its tail!
The wind was howling, the kick was powerful and heavy, and the air was whipped and hit violently, making a sharp cracking sound.
She Xuan was slightly startled and leaned down to avoid the kick. Seeing the grass debris on the ground flying high and the wind roaring above her head, she couldn't help but be shocked.
This scene was exactly the same as the one in the demon cultivator's cave. The half-dead Lu Bei ran wildly and killed many people. She was defeated and fled with injuries.
The courage of a common man!
She Xuan thought to herself that it was not a big problem. Based on her experience and subsequent analysis of Lu Bei, she concluded that Lu Bei could not maintain a strong output for a long time.
We just need to avoid the sharp edge temporarily and wait for Lu Bei to become weak and powerless, then we can secure victory in this battle.
"Aunt Snake, you are too murderous!"
Lu Bei clasped his fists and slammed them down towards the open space in front of him.
boom!
With a burst of powerful energy, the ground beneath his feet suddenly split apart like water waves, and large pieces of dirt mixed with grass debris flew into the sky.
She Xuan only felt an astonishing force sweeping over her. She took several steps back until she stopped under the shadow of a tree.
She dispelled the breath-suppression spell and said solemnly, "Can you see through my spell?"
"I can't see through it, but with the guidance of murderous aura, it won't be difficult to find you."
"I have no murderous intent."
"That's resentment!"
Lu Bei said helplessly: "Auntie She, the past is over. You are a mature woman and you should know that our relationship can never go back to the way it was before. Let it go and stop reminiscing about it. We should all look forward."
That's true, but did you express it that way
She Xuan snorted coldly: "Yes, it's murderous intent."
"That's it."
Lu Bei clenched his fists and strode towards She Xuan. When his skill "Blood Rage" was activated and the capture was successful, he accelerated with a sprint and punched She Xuan in the face.
There was a whistling wind around him, and he was like an arrow shot from a bow. Gusts of air wrapped around the tip of his fist, and in an instant he rushed under the tree.
A familiar feeling of cowardice came over her. She Xuan couldn't tell whether it was Lu Bei who cast a spell on her or whether she was beaten up twice. She said she didn't accept it, but a shadow was planted in her heart.
Seeing that she was no match for the punch, she rolled over to dodge again. However, to her surprise, Lu Bei followed her like a shadow and came to her side in one quick step. He raised his clenched fist and hit her in the face.
So fast!
No, too slow!
She Xuan was horrified. According to her estimation, Lu Bei would not be able to hold on for much longer. He should be exhausted and could only be crushed and kneaded by her.
At the critical moment, it spit out poisonous needles from its mouth to block the area where the fist landed, and then half of its body turned into a snake tail and violently lashed towards Lu Bei's waist.
The wind tore away the remaining shadows, and the violent storm made Lu Bei's clothes rustle.
“Well done!”
Lu Bei's eyes lit up. As he expected, She Xuan's strength increased after her bloodline advanced, and underestimating her gave him the opportunity for close combat.
If that were the case, he would not be modest.
He raised his hands to block the snake's tail, plowed the ground with his feet, and took three steps. When the snake's tail's power gradually faded, he stomped his feet heavily on the ground, shaking up the grass and mud to stabilize his balance, and then he grabbed it with his backhand, his fingers embedded in the fine scales, and hugged the long tail tightly between his hands.
"hey-hey."
Lu Bei raised his lips, and his malicious smile made She Xuan's face change suddenly. The next second, a huge force spread from his long tail, shaking his whole body of bones and making his vision spin.
Lu Bei spun more than ten times on the spot, leaving She Xuan behind, and then he threw her towards a giant tree.
As expected, it missed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
She Xuan flew out like a cannonball, bounced up and down several times after landing, and finally stopped after leaving a deep groove in the mud.
This guy is really hateful!
She Xuan's snake body was trembling, and she had not yet recovered from the numbness in her muscles and bones. The golden bracelet transformed from the golden-scaled snake on her wrist was moving slowly, waiting for the order from its master.
Hiss hiss hiss—
It was not the sound of spitting out a letter, but a sharp sound of breaking through the air. She Xuan only saw a flash of black light in front of her eyes, and a black gold straight knife appeared on her cheek.
The blood flows down, and it brings back the taste of memories.
Bitter, helpless...
There is still dissatisfaction.
This loss is so unfair!
[You defeated She Xuan and gained 40,000 experience points]
"Forty thousand..."
Lu Bei walked up to She Xuan, put the knife into his Qiankun bag, and then stretched out his hand to her with a smile.
I take back what I said before. This is a good woman. When it comes to contributing experience, no one is more active than her.
She Xuan ignored Lu Bei's outstretched hand, exited her demonic state, staggered to her feet, and supported herself on the tree to steady herself: "What's going on? What happened to you these days? Did you gain anything from the last time you were in the demon cultivator's cave?"
"I didn't gain much. It's just that my senior brother who is far away in Yuezhou came to visit me a few days ago. Seeing that my cultivation level is low, he tutored me for two days." Lu Bei said truthfully.
She Xuan was very envious when she heard this, but she didn't say anything. She raised her hand to wipe the blood off her cheek, and peeled off a layer of her face under Lu Bei's surprised gaze.
Her face was the same as before, but after the skin was peeled off, the scars on her face disappeared without a trace.
The ability brought by the advanced bloodline is that as long as the injury is not serious such as missing limbs, the snake sheds its skin to achieve the effect of rapid healing.
This is now, when her cultivation becomes more advanced, even if she suffers from a broken limb, the snake skin can be restored to its original state after being reattached.
To exaggerate a little more, if one's spiritual realm reaches a certain level, one can reattach one's head even if it falls off.
“Amazing!”
Lu Bei was amazed and asked, "Aunt Snake, are you not wearing pants under your skirt? Why don't I hear the sound of your clothes popping every time you transform your tail?"
She Xuan: “…”
"No way, I only dared to go out after I put on pants, after all, it was broad daylight..."
"Shut up, I'm wearing it... It's none of your business whether I wear it or not."
She Xuan could no longer bear it and turned to walk towards Langyu County: "See you at Dasheng Pass in twelve days."
"Not together?"
"I don't want to!"
"Okay then, Aunt Snake, please help me prepare the equipment for going to the tomb. Thank you in advance."
Lu Bei waved goodbye to She Xuan's back, lowered his head and his playful smile disappeared, and he began to think: "Twelve days, we will set off tonight, it will be enough for me to gain some experience in the alchemy room..."
"And my eldest cousin, I have to tell him that I need to borrow the chain mail that I cannot lose for a while."
