Heaven-defying Phoenix

Serpent Emperor roared in anger, he stood up and opened his bloody mouth, instantly suppressing the pressure, as though he wanted to swallow Qin Zheng whole.    

Courting death!    

Qin Zheng stepped forward, pulled Jiu Muli along, and his entire body soared through the air, instantly arriving above Serpent Emperor's head, and fiercely stomped down!    

Crack! Crack! Crack!    

Cold energy circulated around Qin Zheng's feet and started to spread to the top of Serpent Emperor's head.    

If Qin Zheng was allowed to continue like this, he would definitely freeze the entire Serpent Emperor.    

Serpent Emperor seemed to have seen through this as well. Pointing his tail at the ground, he twisted his body fiercely like a hemp rope. His gigantic head was flung away and his tail lashed out again like a whip.    

Serpent Emperor's reaction speed was really fast, his skin was exceptionally firm, and he used his body as a weapon, not afraid of death at all.    

Seeing this, Qin Zheng seemed to have already expected it. The lightning once again descended and exploded, the area within a few dozen meters radius was instantly covered by lightning, a wave of crazy bombardment.    

Roar!    

Serpent Emperor's body was finally covered with head-sized wounds, the skin around his body was charred black and fresh blood gurgled out of it.    

Having succeeded in one move, Qin Zheng seemed to have found the Serpent Emperor's weakness. Following after that bolt of lightning, he chased after the Serpent Emperor with peerless speed and monstrous killing intent.    

Serpent Emperor's eyes were filled with fear, he roared again and again, but in the end, he did not choose to retreat, but chose to retaliate without fear of death, making it impossible for Qin Zheng to escape.    

Seeing this, Qin Zheng's face turned cold, the lightning became increasingly sharp and resolute.    

Serpent Emperor was severely injured, his Qi was gradually weakening, and even his movements had slowed down by a lot.    

Right then, the cave entrance at a distance suddenly darkened, following that, Qin Zheng suddenly felt that his cultivation was unstable.    

"This is bad!"    

Qin Zheng's face suddenly changed, his expression becoming extremely gloomy, as he forgot what day it was.    

It was a moonlit night!    

Qin Zheng started to panic in his heart. This time, he was really careless.    

Remembering that his cultivation was going to change so quickly, Qin Zheng felt extremely furious. He stared at Serpent Emperor with his red eyes and waved his hand!    

Boom!    

The lightning instantly enveloped the Serpent Emperor and following closely behind, the power of frost also descended, enveloping the entire Serpent Emperor.    

After doing all of this, Qin Zheng's legs suddenly staggered, and he quickly pulled Jiu Muli behind him, maintaining his vigilance.    

"What's wrong with you!"    

Jiu Muli was shocked, and stared at Qin Zheng in disbelief.    

Because she discovered that Qin Zheng's strong aura was falling at an extremely fast speed, like a ball deflating.    

At the same time, Qin Zheng's cultivation level also started to drop, and very quickly, he was already at the Starer Stage that Jiu Muli could sense.    

Just at this time, Serpent Emperor was covered in wounds, and struggled out of the cold and lightning in a sorry state. His eyes revealed a crazed bloodthirsty intent, and fiercely stared at Qin Zheng.    

Immediately after, as if he had detected Qin Zheng's abnormality, he charged fiercely towards him in an incomparably berserk manner.    

Jiu Muli's face changed drastically. Seeing the Serpent Emperor in such close proximity, with Qin Zheng's cultivation still dropping, she became anxious and wanted to block him. However, her body was still protected by Qin Zheng.    

Boom!    

In the end, the Serpent Emperor and Qin Zheng collided, and right after, the Serpent Emperor's body abruptly staggered, and his aura similarly became extremely dispirited.    

Puff!    

Blood suddenly splashed out from Qin Zheng's chest as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body flew backwards and crashed into Jiu Muli's body, causing him to stagger a few steps back.    

"Qin Zheng!"    

Jiu Muli hurriedly hugged Qin Zheng, his eyes filled with anxiety and shock.    

In just an instant, Qin Zheng was already severely injured. Jiu Muli saw with a glance that his chest was already slightly sunken, and even that where his clothes were torn, he could see bone-deep wounds.    

Roar!    

Serpent Emperor threw himself at him again, fiercely and tyrannically.    

"Out of the way!"    

Qin Zheng's eyes flashed with ferocity, and fiercely pulled Jiu Muli behind him once again. As if he were nailed in place, he firmly stood there, and once again blocked the Serpent Emperor's attack.    

Boom!    

Boom!    

Ka-cha! *    

The Serpent Emperor was rebellious and continued to crash into Qin Zheng. Both of Qin Zheng's eyes were also scarlet red, as he frantically tried to defend himself.    

Until, at a certain moment, Jiu Muli heard the clear sound of bones breaking from Qin Zheng's body, and then he saw Qin Zheng's body suddenly drop to the ground.    

"Qin Zheng..."    

Jiu Muli opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she felt a lump in her throat. She did not expect that at this time, Qin Zheng would not retreat at all, as he continued to protect her from behind.    

"Do you know that you will die like this?"    

Jiu Muli screamed crazily in his heart. As he hugged Qin Zheng and looked at him who had turned into a bloody person, his heart strings seemed to be secretly strummed by some invisible hand. A strange feeling was brewing in his heart.    

"Roar!"    

But without waiting for her to think, she suddenly felt Serpent Emperor, whose entire body was covered with wounds, rushing over again. Her expression changed greatly, and hugged Qin Zheng, taking a step forward and dodging fiercely.    

While being protected by Qin Zheng, she had desperately absorbed the spirit energy from the spirit stone. Now that she had recovered a lot, although it was dangerous to hurriedly avoid it, in the end, she still avoided it.    

"Serpent Emperor is also severely injured."    

Having dangerously avoided the attack this time, Jiu Muli finally detected a chance for survival.    

Qin Zheng was already severely injured, so the only thing she could do was rely on herself.    

Swoosh!    

Just as she thought about it, the Serpent Emperor appeared again.    

Go!    

Jiu Muli's expression changed drastically. Without thinking, she hugged Qin Zheng and stomped once more, barely missing by a hair's breadth, barely dodging the Serpent Emperor's attack. She could even feel the corner of her clothes being shredded by the strong wind brought by the Serpent Emperor.    

So powerful!    

Jiu Muli's heart was in shock, she never thought that Serpent Emperor, who was heavily injured, would actually still be so tyrannical. However, before she could even stabilize herself, she discovered that Serpent Emperor was pouncing towards her again, causing her heart to feel a wave of despair.    

The attacks of the Serpent Emperor were not only fierce and ferocious, they were also extremely quick. Without Qin Zheng controlling them, even their speed was astonishing.    

"No, we absolutely can't go on like this!"    

Jiu Muli was anxious in his heart, as he avoided the attacks of the Serpent Emperor, he pondered on various countermeasures.    

Seeing that the distance he was forced to hide from the Serpent Emperor was getting smaller, Jiu Muli still did not have any good ideas, and could not help but feel anxious.    

"What do we do? The difference in cultivation is too great. There's no way to block it, unless there's a treasure to counter it."    

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more dangerous, Jiu Muli was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.    

"Do you two have any way to deal with this guy?"    

In a moment of desperation, Jiu Muli immediately thought of the glazed palace lamp and the Nine-colored Lotus.    

"Ding ding ding."    

The glazed palace lamp immediately expressed that it could not do anything.    

Only the Nine-colored Lotus remained silent.    

Jiu Muli immediately thought of the Exotic Flame on the Nine-colored Lotus, and could not help but ask the Nine-colored Lotus: "Little Lotus, can you use the Exotic Flame to kill this snake?"    

"Yes, but the losses are great." Nine-colored Lotus hesitated to speak, but it was obvious that he was uncertain as well.    

"Fine, burn it to death. Don't worry, in the future, I will definitely make you something delicious."    

Jiu Muli immediately became ruthless, he could not care too much and quickly tried to communicate with the Nine-colored Lotus.    

Weng! *    

The Nine-colored Lotus in her forehead suddenly trembled, and instantly rushed out from between her eyebrows. Soon after, nine lotuses floated in the air, fiercely grew in size, and began to spin.    

As the Nine-colored Lotus grew bigger, a formless and illusory lotus instantly enveloped his entire body. After that, on every petal of the Nine-colored Lotus, a blinding light began to shine. Every single light had a different color, appearing extremely dazzling.    

With the appearance of all sorts of lights, a terrifyingly high temperature suddenly rose.    

Roar!    

As if he could feel the terror of the Nine-colored Lotus, the Serpent Emperor became even crazier, and wanted to rush towards Jiu Muli, but in the end, he was completely suppressed by the Nine-colored Lotus and could not move at all.    

"Chi!"    

The petals of the Nine-colored Lotus turned, and the nine Exotic Flame looked like they were being pulled, as they instantly flew in different directions towards the Serpent Emperor's head.    

Boom!    

The nine Exotic Flame instantly landed on the Serpent Emperor's head, followed by an endless high temperature erupting like a volcano, it instantly exploded on top of the Serpent Emperor's head. Soon after, the Serpent Emperor's gigantic head was burnt black.    

Bang!    

Serpent Emperor's enormous body instantly fell to the ground, motionless. His boundless aura also retreated like the tides, completely devoid of any signs of life.    

Weng! *    

The Nine-colored Lotus shook and the nine Exotic Flame flew back into the lotus.    

The appearance of the Nine-colored Lotus was extremely brief, but the effects produced by his appearance caused Jiu Muli to be extremely shocked.    

Even if Qin Zheng were to attack at his peak, he wouldn't be able to kill him with a single strike. However, he didn't want to be directly burnt to death by his nine Exotic Flame.    

The temperature of a Exotic Flame was actually this terrifying!    

Jiu Muli found it hard to believe, and felt that he really picked up a treasure.    

"Can I finally leave?"    

Jiu Muli sighed in his heart, he looked around, only to see the floor covered with the corpses of poisonous snakes, snake king's, Serpent Emperor's, and some weak poisonous snakes, it was hard to count.    

Other than the few remaining Blood Coagulation Stage vipers, who had avoided the momentum of the snake king, it was difficult for them to escape death. Because of the battle between Qin Zheng and the Serpent Emperor, all the other snake king s had been struck by lightning, causing almost all of them to die.    

Without the viper attacking him, Jiu Muli relaxed and began to carefully examine Qin Zheng's injuries.    

Qin Zheng's injuries were severe, his entire body was filled with countless wounds, even several of his ribs had been broken. Not only that, there was even more deadly poison spreading in his body.    

Normally, if Qin Zheng was in his best condition, the poison would not be able to do anything to him, but now that his cultivation had fallen to the first level of Blood Coagulation Stage, the snake poison was extremely deadly.    

At the very least, other than being a little numb and weak, there was no life threatening in her body at all. However, Qin Zheng didn't have a strong bloodline like hers, so he reckoned that she would be poisoned to death very soon.    

"What should we do? Do you know how to cure the poison?"    

There was nothing Jiu Muli could do about it. In the end, he asked about the Nine-colored Lotus and the glazed palace lamp.    

"Big sister, there is a treasure in cave, it might be useful, but I do not know about anything else, I have injured my vitality, and am currently very weak, so I am unable to help you."    

Nine-colored Lotus said dejectedly.
