"Senior Brother Xiao, what should we do? This snake can actually... it can even climb up!"
Zeng Shushu had some sweat on his forehead. His disciples from the three sects and the Demonic Sect had suddenly encountered the Black Water Serpent on their way here.
Given their strength, their only option was to run away.
They were rushing as fast as they could, fearing they would be devoured by snakes.
"Judging from the direction this beast is heading, it's probably here for the treasures of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury as well."
Xiao Yicai decisively drew a conclusion.
In an instant, everyone's expression changed.
Especially in the southern border region where Incense Valley is located, which is close to the Swamp of Death.
Li Xun was absolutely certain, feeling as if this was divine intervention!
Once we get our hands on this treasure, it will be a piece of cake for Fenxiang Valley to surpass Qingyun Sect.
If we had been even more powerful, we might have been able to unify the righteous path.
At that time, wouldn't the Qingyun Sect be at his mercy, able to take whatever he wanted?
At that time, he even imagined that after obtaining the extraordinary treasure, he would have his master, Yun Yilan, go to the Qingyun Sect to propose marriage!
As a result, now even a beast dares to join in the fun!
However, Li Xun only dared to vent his anger, and he was the only one who could step forward and fight this behemoth.
Isn't that like lighting a lantern in an outhouse—asking for trouble (to die)?
Faxiang watched as the enormous serpent's body, resembling a small mountain, headed towards the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury. He sighed softly, feeling somewhat disheartened.
Turn around,
He said to the righteous disciples of Tianyin Temple, "This Black Water Serpent is an ancient demonic beast, beyond our ability to defeat. Let's leave quickly!"
Everyone naturally had the idea of giving up, but Xiao Yicai and Zeng Shushu were somewhat at a loss.
Lu Xueqi's whereabouts are still unknown, but her strength far surpasses theirs, so there's no need to worry about her.
The Blackwater Serpent continued forward, its enormous head revealing a bright red, forked tongue that constantly moved in and out of its mouth beneath its fangs. Its emerald green eyes gazed toward the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, and it hissed softly, appearing quite excited.
Chapter 197 Black Water Serpent vs. Yellow Bird! Heavenly Book!
"Hiss... Roar~"
The Blackwater Serpent was already impatient. Its body compressed like a spring, and then its huge head, like an arrow released from a bowstring, crashed into the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.
Just as it crashed into the stone gate, it was still several feet away from it.
The Blackwater Serpent's head seemed to have struck something hard, producing a loud 'bang'.
It felt a little dazed. Shouldn't it have crashed into the treasure vault?
How could I have been defeated by something so inexplicable?
Xiao Yicai and the others also hurriedly looked in the direction of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.
Where the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury was originally visible, a five-colored light curtain suddenly rose up.
It was this light barrier that kept the Black Water Serpent at bay.
Xiao Yicai, Zeng Shushu, and Lin Jingyu exchanged glances. They knew without even looking that the formation belonged to Li Qing'an.
That's it!
If nothing unexpected happens, the treasure is already in our hands.
Lu Xueqi, who has been missing for a long time, is probably among them.
Then why bother running away?
If word gets out, people will think that my Qingyun Sect can't fight!
Come on, everyone!
One for each of us!
The crowd's confidence surged instantly.
Upon seeing this formation again, the Blackwater Serpent's malevolent energy erupted.
The enormous snake eyes narrowed sharply as it stared intently at the formation.
With its giant eyes wide open, it let out another roar and frantically smashed its head down towards the formation.
Everyone could only watch helplessly as the Blackwater Serpent tried every possible way to shatter the formation!
Unfortunately, in this place rich in wood energy, Li Qing'an naturally set up the Senluo Formation, one of the Five Elements Formations!
Its defensive capabilities are somewhat weaker than the Xuanhuang Formation, which is composed of earth energy.
With the surrounding wood energy emanating from the Tongtian Divine Tree as a supplement, breaking through this formation will not be something that can be done in a short time.
The Blackwater Serpent continued its relentless assault on the formation, completely disregarding those who were nothing more than ants in its eyes.
"Uncle Li's array formations have improved again!"
Seeing the Blackwater Serpents helpless against Li Qing'an's array, Xiao Yicai sighed.
"Sigh, playing with formations really isn't for me! I guess I'll just stick to being a blacksmith!"
"Formations and such are too difficult."
Just as the disciples of Qingyun Sect were feeling relieved, the disciples of Fenxiang Valley and Tianyin Temple were becoming anxious.
The sky suddenly darkened.
Zeng Shushu and the others were all startled.
The sky was clear and blue before, but now it has changed color again.
Everyone looked up, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Suddenly, a vast expanse of orange-yellow light slowly appeared in the sky, covering an area of several dozen feet in radius. It enveloped them, completely blocking out the sunlight!
Immediately afterwards, a clear, phoenix-like cry echoed from the sky.
Before everyone could react, a gust of wind blew in their faces, making them unsteady on their feet.
The Blackwater Serpent, which had been running rampant just moments before, suddenly stopped moving.
The enormous snake head raised its head, looking at its natural enemy, then, in a gesture of anger, opened its mouth wide, revealing its fangs, and roared at the clouds in the sky.
As the orange clouds gradually descended, Xiao Yicai and his companions could see them clearly.
This is a large bird with orange feathers all over its body, flapping its wings and circling in the air.
With each flap of its enormous wings, the wind rustled the leaves of trees for miles around.
The strong wind made everyone's clothes flutter loudly, and only by using Taoist magic could they barely stabilize their bodies.
"This, this is the legendary Nine Heavens Spirit Bird—the Yellow Bird! It is also the natural enemy of the Black Water Serpent!"
Zeng Shushu, who had read the fragments of "Tales of Gods and Demons," reminded everyone.
......
On the outskirts of the Dead Swamp, lies the Great King Village!
"Grandpa, will big brother and Xueqi be alright?"
Xiao Huan stood next to Zhou Yixian, gazing into the direction of Neize, her eyes filled with worry.
"Ha, as the saying goes, good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years. Do you think someone as wicked as Li Qing'an is so simple!"
Zhou Yixian stroked his gray beard, looking like a wise and enlightened sage.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a few clear coughs came from beside him.
Zhou Yixian turned his head and saw Wen Min from Xiaozhu Peak.
He realized he had been caught talking badly about someone.
And he was talking about someone else's martial uncle!
This is like a rabbit running into a tree stump—it's courting death!
Zhou Yixian's face stiffened, and he gave a dry laugh.
"I knew Li Qing'an was a prodigy! And this young lady is clearly destined for great fortune; she's sure to rise to a high position in the future!"
"Is that so? Then thank you very much for your kind words, sir!"
Wenmin didn't press the matter further, and with a smile, she let it go.
Xiao Huan covered her mouth and chuckled, watching her grandfather get the short end of the stick.
Wenmin also turned around and gazed into the distance, her eyes filled with emotion.
As the senior sister, I never imagined that one day I would be watching my junior sisters fight in front of me because I was not strong enough!
Seeing that Wenmin was ignoring her, Zhou Yixian turned her head and glared fiercely at Xiaohuan.
This little ungrateful brat doesn't even know how to say a word for his grandpa!
Xiao Huan stuck out her tongue at Zhou Yixian and made a face!
Zhou Yixian also shook his head and looked into the distance.
"Li Qingan, you absolutely must research a new cultivation method!"
Zhou Yixian sighed inwardly.
The three of them were on a high point outside Dawang Village, looking at the Death Swamp from afar.
.......
While the Blackwater Serpent and the Yellow Bird were fighting, the third volume of the Heavenly Book had already appeared in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury!
In Li Qingan and Lu Xueqi's sight, the dome inside the treasure vault suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, and the two could even hear a mysterious voice beginning to chant.
Large, golden characters appeared one after another in mid-air, illuminated by the golden light!
Li Qing'an looked closely and saw that it was indeed the opening sentence of the heavenly book:
