Chapter 81 - Crimson Horned Snake



Chapter 81 - Crimson Horned Snake

Bai Rouyun was looking at the egg in her hand and wondered what to do with it. Although it was an egg, the shell did not seem weak, and the energy within it was strong, but there were no signs of hatching.

Unsure of what to do with the egg, Bai Rouyun stuffed the egg into her robes and began observing the formation again.

She had expected that she would need to attack the formation in an attempt to be released, but after a bit of time, she realized that the formation had gone away all on its own.

Bai Rouyun frowned. The formation vanished when someone picked up the egg? How could it not have been picked up before? This was not deep into the forest, and many ought to have been here before.

How come no one had taken the egg before her?

Frowning, Bai Rouyun looked around her. The sounds which previously had been blocked were back, the sounds of animals and insects were everywhere.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down. She understood that something strange had happened and that she could not tell anyone, other than Li Moyun, about her experience.

The feeling of the egg lying in her robes made her feel the heat it was radiating. She was not worried about it, she had tried knocking on it when she picked it up, and it was very sturdy, but she could not help but feel that it was weird.

Bai Rouyun just shook her head after a bit of time. She left the clearing as silently as she had arrived, her figure vanishing into the dense thicket of the forest.

It had taken her half a day to deal with the formation and the egg, but she was not too worried. Her speed of killing beasts was not to be belittled.

As she continued into the forest, the beasts she encountered were no longer as timid as the ones she had met before. They were boldly moving around in the forest, and their eyes were cold and bloodthirsty.

These beasts were attacking on sight, and the scent of blood, alongside the sounds of battle, attracted other beasts over.

So when Bai Rouyun found a Crimson Horned Snake, she fought it with all her power. It was a third-ranked beast, equivalent to a cultivator at the Acquired Realm, Heaven Tier, and while humans were somewhat squishy, this snake was covered in thick scales that protected it well.

Bai Rouyun drew her sword. She knew that this beast could not be defeated solely by relying on her pitiful Qi, but she was not willing to run away.

Fighting against a third-ranked beast was enough to test her skills, so while the snake was flashing towards her, she also rushed towards the snake.

Flowing Feather Step!

Holy Flame Strike!

Bai Rouyun was not going to be arrogant and look down upon the beast. It was a ferocious beast with a rank higher than her, so she had to use her best attacks to deal with it.

First, she used her Flowing Feather Step to enhance her speed and to make it much easier for her to dodge the attacks.

Secondly, she attacked with one of the skills she had mastered in her previous life, the Holy Flame Strike.

This Holy Flame Strike made the Qi shroud the sword in flames, and when the sword came into contact with the scaled snake’s scales, a loud bang resounded in the surroundings. The sword cut a slight wound on the snake, but it was not more than a small one, and the little stream of blood that dripped from the injury was not enough to do anything else than tickling the snake.

But even so, the snake was stunned by the fact that a human so much weaker than itself could cause it to be injured.

Sensing the stunned snake, Bai Rouyun took advantage of the moments where it was staggering and charged up towards it once more. Although she had thought that she could defeat this beast, she realized that it was much more challenging to deal with than she had expected, and she knew that she had to use every trick in her book to deal with it.

Only this way could she attain victory and harvest the beast core.

The Crimson Horned Snake quickly returned to its senses, and a cold gleam flashed in its eyes. It thrashed about and swung its tail towards Bai Rouyun as if to swat away an annoying fly.

Bai Rouyun flashed to the right, pressing her Flowing Feather Steps to the limits, and narrowly avoided the tail. Her eyes were cold and focused, she was not at all fearful or hesitant, every move was made in a fluid motion, and her hand which gripped the sword once more came bearing down upon the snake.

Cloudsky Sword!

Bai Rouyun had many techniques that she could use, but most of them were of the sword type. Since she did not belong to a sect or a family, all her skills were different and gained from tombs.

Although a few of them complimented each other, the majority did not. This could be seen with the two sword strikes she had used already.

The Holy Flame Strike and the Cloudsky Sword were two completely different attacks. Where the Holy Flame Strike focused on a single offense, the Cloudsky Sword was more of an offensive attack that reached for multiple layers of attacks.

It was like a cloud, rolling over the sky, continuously moving until there was nothing left of it.

This attack overwhelmed the Crimson Horned Snake, and while the snake was able to withstand the onslaught, wounds started appearing all over its body.
