If he can't even protect Marshal Yue, then he's nothing but an ambitious but incompetent ruler! From now on, he should just be a good, incompetent emperor and live a carefree life!
Back at the alliance meeting, the martial arts practitioners in the inn were somewhat confused because Li Ling was not following the usual script, and they didn't know how to respond to Li Ling's words.
Just then, a strange roar came from outside the inn. Upon hearing it, Li Ling flashed to the outside of the inn, and the other martial arts practitioners followed behind.
Upon exiting the inn, they saw a giant snake, tens of feet long, coiled at the entrance. Beside the snake, a middle-aged man dressed in a Western Region-style, unconventional outfit saw the group and laughed loudly, "Hahaha... You rabble think you can save Yue Fei? You're really overestimating yourselves!"
"The Western Regions Serpent Demon!"
Upon seeing the other person's distinctive smoky attire, Li Ling immediately recognized him as the Western Regions Snake Demon.
The Western Regions Serpent Demon, along with the Blood Bat, is known as one of the Four Demons of the Western Regions. However, compared to the Blood Bat, the Western Regions Serpent Demon's martial arts skills are somewhat inferior. His strength is mostly superior to the venom and the giant serpent.
"That's right, it's me. You've got a good eye, kid. But you're all going to die!"
As he spoke, the Western Regions Serpent Demon waved his hand, and the giant serpent beside him roared and pounced towards the group.
Run!
Seeing such a giant snake, whose power was unmatched, someone shouted, and most of the martial arts practitioners in the vicinity scattered and fled.
Only a few people stepped forward with weapons, slashing at the giant snake. Sparks flew everywhere, and all that could be heard were 'bang bang' sounds, but they couldn't break through the snake's scales at all.
"roar!!"
With a hiss, the giant snake slammed into the crowd with tremendous force. The snake knocked everyone away, and they all coughed up blood.
In a single exchange, the martial arts community was scattered and routed by the giant snake. Upon seeing this, the Western Region snake demon laughed triumphantly.
Seeing this, Li Ling was even more delighted and couldn't help but say, "What a fine snake! Perfect for increasing my power!"
Without further delay, Li Ling flicked his Qingming Sword, and a three-inch crystal-clear sword light appeared, making the Qingming Sword look crystal clear, as if it were made of crystal. Then he leaped into the air and thrust it straight at the snake's seven-inch spot!
This giant snake was quite extraordinary. Sensing Li Ling's murderous aura, it immediately shook off the martial artist whose arm Li Ling had bitten and slammed towards Li Ling.
"Tai Chi Power!"
Li Ling then unleashed a palm strike with his left hand, spewing out a burst of true energy. The Tai Chi soft force immediately flung the person flying through the air to the side, while the Azure Nether Sword continued its relentless stabbing towards the giant snake's vital spot.
After Li Ling cultivated the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt technique and broke through to the Grandmaster realm, he gained complete control over his muscles. In order to apply what he learned to other situations, he also read various books about animals in modern society and learned in detail about the structure of muscles in various species.
He also knew about the anatomy of snakes, so he was able to pinpoint the snake's vital spot perfectly.
Moreover, the Azure Nether Sword is a precious sword that can cut through iron like mud. Combined with its indestructible sword aura, even though the giant snake's skin can withstand ordinary weapons, it still cannot stop Li Ling's sword aura.
With a soft "thud," Li Ling's Azure Nether Sword pierced straight through flesh, disappearing into the hilt.
"hiss!!"
When the giant snake's vital spot was attacked, it struggled violently in excruciating pain, letting out a painful roar. At the same time, it lashed out with its tail, attacking Li Ling.
"Golden Sword Intent - Invincible!"
Li Ling tapped his foot, released his true energy, and instantly shifted sideways to dodge. At the same time, the Azure Nether Sword slashed, transforming the power of Taiyin into the metal element.
The powerful metallic sword intent was unleashed, instantly creating a long wound on the giant snake's body, cleaving it in two with only a small piece of skin and flesh still connected. At the same time, the giant snake's tail fell to the ground, smashing the bluestone slab to pieces.
"Ah! My darling, my darling!" The Western Regions Serpent Demon cried out in anguish.
Seeing Li Ling suddenly cut the giant snake in two, the Western Regions Snake Demon was furious. Half of his skills were related to this giant snake, and now that the giant snake had been killed by Li Ling, he felt excruciating pain in his heart.
The Western Regions Serpent Demon was heartbroken and hissed, "Bastard, Yi Jifeng, I'll kill you!"
As he spoke, the Western Regions Serpent Demon pulled out a handful of hidden weapons from his pocket and threw them directly at Li Ling. Under the moonlight, these hidden weapons shone with a faint blue light, clearly indicating that they were all coated with deadly poison!
"A mere trick! Tai Chi manipulation!"
Li Ling snorted coldly and circulated his true energy. With the guiding force of the Tai Chi conception, the hidden weapons that were originally shot at him changed direction and were reflected back at the Western Region snake demon.
"Swish swish swish!"
The Western Regions Snake Demon hurriedly dodged, but when Li Ling used the pulling force, he had already added a bit of true energy to these hidden weapons, making them even faster than when they were flying. The Snake Demon's lightness skill was not very good, and immediately a small portion of the hidden weapons hit his legs.
The Western Regions snake demon hurriedly sealed the acupoints on its legs and took the antidote. Even so, the poison had already entered its body, and it had no strength to fight anymore!
"Damn it, I poisoned myself..." The Western Regions Serpent Demon was on the verge of tears. 百镀一下“Wishing Star of All Heavens and Realms爪书屋”最新章节第一时间免费阅读。

Chapter 168 Today I'm Going to Clean House
"Everyone come out! The giant snake is already injured. Everyone, take down this giant snake!"
Li Ling shouted, and immediately thirty-six people appeared from all around. They were dressed in uniforms, some holding large nets and others holding sharp blades. They quickly netted the giant snake.
The giant snake was already severely injured, so how could it possibly withstand the combined efforts of thirty-six skilled fighters? It was quickly caught in the net and unable to move.
"Don't waste the snake blood. This giant snake is a rare species. Collect it."
Li Ling gave an order to the thirty-six people, and immediately some of them found a large bucket and began collecting the giant snake's blood. This was to be used to make snake blood soup, which could be used to increase one's power. Li Ling, with his profound power, didn't care for it, but for them, it was the best tonic.
These thirty-six people were the "Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals" trained by the Famous Sword Manor. Knowing that there might be unexpected events during this martial arts tournament, Li Ling had them come ahead of time.
"My darling, release it at once!" The snake demon, who had been hit by his own poisoned dart, lay on the roof and shouted anxiously as he saw his precious giant snake being captured.
Li Ling turned to look at the snake demon struggling to move on the roof, and sneered, "Hmph, I didn't expect you hadn't escaped yet. That's perfect, then you can stay here!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already leaped up and headed towards the location of the snake demon on the roof.
