Chapter 78 - 76: Eldest Senior Brother
Xue Fei, having revealed his identity, did not conceal himself any longer. On one hand, he assisted Qingling in dealing with the Nine-headed Snake, while on the other, he secretly guarded against Ming Jing.
Although both Ming Jing and he were Qingling’s men, the Western monks had always taken it upon themselves to eradicate the Demon Clan. Even though the cultivators from the other sects had just made it clear that they would not attack him temporarily, Ming Jing was still eying him like a tiger watching its prey.
At the same time, he felt immensely disdainful in his heart. Weren’t the monks supposed to be pure in their five roots? How come they acted without any scruples just like this demon that he was? Hah, pretending to be noble, yet still revolving around a woman.
The Nine-headed Snake might have been in the Late Tribulation Crossing Stage, but it was confined in place and could not move. This gave the cultivators many opportunities. Over at Ye Qiu’s side, there were many sword cultivators, each of whom possessed extraordinary combat abilities. Hence, taking down two snake heads was not an issue. Qingling, though only accompanied by a few people, had many trump cards at her disposal. The men around her were all geniuses with exceptional cultivation levels and swiftly gained the upper hand as well.
As a result, the other forces found it much easier to deal with a single snake head. In less than two hours, the Nine-headed Snake was exhausted and covered in wounds.
"Let’s go." After Ye Qiu chopped off the last head and noticed that Qingling and her group didn’t even care to vie for the Snake Demon’s inner core, he was the first to enter the fourth layer of space and urged the others to quickly follow, with himself trailing behind them.
No sooner had he entered than danger presented itself. A vine with barbs viciously lashed towards his face, the vine dark in color, evidently highly poisonous.
"Be careful, Senior Brother. This space is full of such things." Chen Qingchi cautiously dealt with the vine, warning Ye Qiu. Perhaps due to his Wood Spiritual Root, he was being attacked less than Ye Qiu.
