Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 104 – Tianliang

He actually met the Snake King!

Yang Junshan never thought that his luck would be so bad, he encountered the Snake King who was touring the swamp!

Thousands of mud snakes gushed out of the quagmire under the call of the Snake King, and formed countless mud scars in the swamp. Under the light of the setting sun, a scene that covered the sky and the earth caused Yang Junshan to shudder.

Fortunately, Yang Junshan was extremely sharp, so the moment he saw the Snake King, he didn’t hold any hope and escaped outside. When he used the thousand-year mud snake, Yang Junshan was already more than a hundred and fifty meters away.

The Snake King’s words not only alarmed the snakes in the swamp, but also the mud snakes lurking in the swamp. Yang Junshan only needed to wave his horizontal blade around him to form a ball of cold light and kill all the mud snakes crawling out from the swamp to block their path.

It was a good thing that Yang Junshan was familiar with the Nanxuan swamp. Otherwise, in his panic, he would probably fall into the mud before the snakes could catch up to him.

Taking a glance behind him, Yang Junshan realized that the Snake King had caught up to him as well. The upper body of the Snake King was raised up like a commander pressing down the formation as it urged countless mud snakes to chase after Yang Junshan.

suddenly turned his body, bent his bow and nocked an arrow on the Seven Stones Iron Bow aay of cold light shot straight towards the Snake King who was dozens of meters away.

Yang Junshan was not surprised when he missed his shot, but the second arrow had already been shot the moment the Snake King had bent down.

This arrow was not aimed at the snake king, but at the swamp in front of the snake king!

BOOM!

Wherever the arrows landed, the ground within a radius of a hundred feet started to tremble violently. The swamp surface was like a basin of water that was violently swaying, and mud was continuously being splattered out. The mud snakes that drilled into the swamp were like a group of dried up fish as they whipped their bodies chaotically.

The symbol on the arrow was indeed Earth-Shaking Technique. With Yang Junshan’s current cultivation, with just one shot, he was able to completely display the power of Earth-Shaking Technique that was engraved on the arrow. All the mud snakes within a hundred meter radius that the arrow landed on were shaken senseless, even the Snake King was lying motionlessly on the swamp.

These mud-snake who were knocked out started to whip around, it was not the same kind of play as in the mud pond, but started to kill each other, a large amount of blood immediately filled a 100 meter radius, and some mud-snake even flung their bodies onto the Snake King’s body.

The Snake King was already unconscious in the swamp due to Yang Junshan’s Earth Shock, but it was much stronger than normal Mud Snakes and was not completely stunned. It never thought that the mud snakes around it would actually dare to provoke it, causing it to be completely enraged, even Yang Junshan who was fleeing in the distance could not care about it. With a sweep of its huge body, more than ten Mud Snakes were blown away by the impact, and before they could even land on the ground, their bodies had already stiffened, and they were already dead.

This was not all. The offended Snake King continued to vent its anger on the ordinary mud snakes. Its huge body smashed into the surrounding area a few dozen feet away. Blood mixed with mud splashed everywhere, and it was unknown how many mud snakes had died.

The surrounding mud snakes did not dare to gather around the Snake King to throw their lives away, and even Yang Junshan who was far away did not care about chasing them, and scattered in all directions. Most of them even turned around to return back into the Serpent Pool.

When the Snake King had finished venting its anger, there was no longer a mud snake around it, and the Snake King seemed to have forgotten its original goal of killing Yang Junshan. Suddenly, it drew a huge arc in the mud, and raised its upper body up half a meter, then like a king patrolling his own territory, it started to patrol around the quagmire once again.

Swoosh!

Another arrow flew over, Yang Junshan seemed to have expected this situation to happen, he did not know when it would happen, but he had returned, and this time it was a one-on-one battle between him and the Snake King.

The Snake King instinctively sensed the danger and immediately lay down to avoid the arrow. However, the arrow flew over and landed in the swamp beside it. The entire ground, along with the surface of the mud, shook violently for a distance of oveundred feet.

Earth-Shaking Spell!

The Snake King was once again stunned, half of its body floating motionlessly in the muddy water.

Just like how Yang Junshan used the Snake King’s hand to disperse the horde of snakes, the Snake King just had to fall for the same trap again. A ferocious beast was just a beast, even if it was as strong as the Snake King, it would still be a brainless beast!

As he slowly walked within a radius of 30 meters from the Snake King, Yang Junshan sneered. Suddenly, he extended his hand out and pinched the head of the Snake King, and shouted, “Break!”

The Snake King’s giant head, which was as large as a watermelon, immediately exploded, causing fresh blood to fly out, but the vitality of the beast was still strong. Although it was struck by one of Yang Junshan’s life spells, it still struggled frantically, its 30 foot long body twisted in the swamp, and then, it swung around randomly, smashing the mud water into a mess, but not a single mud snake came over to protect it.

Yang Junshan was unwilling to let things get out of hand, he immediately shot an arrow through the snake king’s seven inches mark. This time, the snake king’s life force was completely drained, his huge body slowly stiffened, unable to move anymore.

Yang Junshan looked around warily, and noticed that there were mud ripples on the surface of the swamp surrounding the snake pond, it was obvious that some of the mud snakes had forgotten the insanity of the Snake King, and were slowly gathering towards the snake king again.

Yang Junshan immediately walked forward and ruthlessly slashed at the snake king’s body. A small ball of green with a scarlet red slime like glaze was removed.

Yang Junshan let out a “ho” sound, and immediately revealed a face of joy. The reason why he still risked his life to kill the Snake King when he saw the group of snakes was because the surface of the Snake King’s body was extremely likely to be wrapped in a thin layer of Celestial Glaze mud.

But what he did not expect was that the Snake King would actually be able to scrape out a mid-grade Dharma-level piece of Heaven’s Glaze mud, causing Yang Junshan to be overjoyed.

Taking advantage of the Snake King not being completely frozen yet, Yang Junshan used his broadsword to scratch the surface of the Snake King’s body from top to bottom. He harvested a fist-sized ball of sky glaze mud that had been dyed red.

He did not know if Ouyang Xulin could handle the middle grade Sky Glaze Mud, and whether it would affect the refining of the enchanted tool, but no matter what, he would makrofit this time, not to mention that the Snake King’s strength was comparable to a high grade Vicious Beast, it was unknown if there were other treasures inside its body!

More and more mud snakes were approaching him, so Yang Junshan held his sword tightly, and a ball of rich earth spirit energy immediately covered the entire surface of the blade, then he stabbed at the snake king’s abdomen, and after a while, Yang Junshan skillfully took out an object larger than a fist from the belly of the snake, but his face was filled with disappointment.

However, the huge snake gall in Yang Junshan’s hand did not form any immortal spirits. Even so, this was still a medicinal pellet that was close tigh-grade Dharma rank pill, if used to refine pills it could be considered an extremely valuable item.

After properly keeping the snake gall safe, Yang Junshan sized up the gigantic Snake King from head to toe, and thought to himself: I wonder if I can use this snake king’s spine to make a strong bow, even if I can’t make a magical equipment, it should at least be better than the iron bow in my hands, the seven stone bow is too soft in my hands right now.

At the same time, he pulled out two or three of the snake tendons from within. Originally, he had wanted to peel off the snake skin as well, but he saw that a large group of mud snakes had already surrounded them, frightening Yang Junshan so much that he only had time to put away the two huge poisonous teeth and poison sac before fleeing in panic.

“Whoosh, whoosh …”

From a distance, Yang Junshan could see that in the direction of the Snake King’s corpse, there were layers upon layers of mud waves rising and falling, the group of snakes was trying to tear off the Snake King’s body, and very soon, a new Snake King would be born.

Yang Junshan turned and quickly left the place. From a distance, he seemed to have heard a muffled sound from behind him, he turned around suspiciously, but he could still see the mud waves that were rising up one after another. In an instant, all of them disappeared, just like when the Snake King had first summoned a group of snakes to chase after Yang Junshan.

Yang Junshan’s heart skipped a beat for no reason. He turned and ran back the way he came from, all he wanted to do was to quickly leave this place.

Yang Junshan quickly moved forward in the swamp for two hours, yet he did not discover any signs of a group of snakes chasing him. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Standing in place and resolving the situation, Yang Junshan was a little hesitant. He didn’t know whether he should just return to Stone Town or go and investigatidden treasure in the swamp.

Originally, Yang Junshan planned to excavate that treasure deposit after he had advanced into the martial arts realm. This time, besides searching for the Heaven Glaze Mud, Yang Junshan only wanted to go take a look and determine a specific location. However, after killing the Snake King, a lingering shadow in Yang Junshan’s heart constantly hinted that he should leave the Nanxuan swamp.

There had been people fighting here before, and from the looks of it, it seemed like a group battle. There was probably a group of people trying to ambush them, but unexpectedly, they were caught off guard and were forced to retreat after the battle. Yang Junshan did not expect this to happen.

Yang Junshan rubbed his chin, from the looks of it, these two groups of people should be the two groups that he determined from the traces he left behind in the swamp, although the last group had spies in the front, but the leader of the previous group seemed to be extremely cautious, even though he did not see anything in the middle of the group, he discovered the people chasing from behind.
