Blades shimmered and blood spattered. A violent howl rang out. The barbarians who had raised their blades at Li Qingshan had all cut themselves for some reason. They rolled on the ground in pain. Two of them even directly hacked themselves to death.
With that, everyone became stunned. Xianghua Lu had no idea what had just happened, and the young shaman was puzzled too. The people by the fire were even more clueless. Only the envoy of the White Lotus cult changed drastically in expression. At that moment, he seemed to see a mirror.
The Watermirror Image could reflect the enemy’s attack. Li Qingshan shook his head. Using it on these barbarians was basically overkill.
“What did you do?” the young shaman roared at Li Qingshan, putting on a tough front.
The envoy stood up as well. He said righteously, “Kid, how dare you injure the foundations of our White Lotus cult? There’s no need to keep you around today! Everyone, listen up! Take him down!”
The young shaman was about to take action when a gust of foul wind swept over, sucking him forcefully into the darkness behind a tree.
A huge python with golden mottling, radiating with daemon qi, extended its head out from behind the tree. Its neck wriggled, and it swallowed the shaman.
“A daemonic beast!” the barbarians cried out.
“No, a daemon!” Li Qingshan corrected.
Suddenly, the snake daemon turned its head. Its cold eyes stared at Li Qingshan and Xianghua Lu as it flickered its forked tongue, only inches away.
Xianghua Lu felt her blood freeze. She had only ever heard about the terrors of daemons. Never had she witnessed it before. Now that she saw one today, she found them to be even more frightening than rumored.
Li Qingshan waved his hand restlessly. “Piss off! Go eat them!”
The snake daemon shrank back with its head and nodded in an extremely human-like manner, turning away and slithering towards the barbarians and shamans around the fire.
Chapter 724: The Snake God Cult | Legend of the Great Sage
Within the dim jungle, the fire flickered, and the snake’s eyes flashed!
The smell of blood spread!
“It listened to your…”
Xianghua Lu stared at Li Qingshan, at a loss as for what to say. She had realised a long time ago that he definitely was not a mortal like he seemed on the surface. His strange strength alone was already beyond what most shamans could contend with, but never did she think he could order a snake daemon around.
Li Qingshan stood up and held her by the chin. “You’re not the same as them either. Prepare to set off!”
“Don’t be afraid, everyone. If we kill this remaining daemon of the Snake God cult, the altar lord- no, the holy mother will reward us heavily!” the envoy of the White Lotus cult ordered loudly. He launched an attack first, sending a tusk-like spiritual artifact towards the snake daemon.
The shamans turned hostile too, drawing their weapons and unleashing their shaman arts as they rushed towards the snake daemon while howling out.
With a sweep of its tail, the snake daemon knocked away the spiritual artifact and suddenly opened its huge mouth, spraying out with mist.
“Ah! My eyes!” “It’s a poisonous mist! Back away!”
Among the howls, a shaman called out, “Die, wretched daemon!” Suddenly, he darted out of the poisonous mist, wielding a glowing, meter-long steel blade in his hand. He swung it at just below the snake daemon’s head.
The snake daemon’s colossal body, over thirty meters in length, rapidly wrapped around the shaman. With a splat, it crushed him to pieces. Blood spurted several meters into the air, and the steel blade hurtled away, stabbing into the ground.
“What a bunch of dumb barbarians. That’s a daemon general with an innate ability. If the old man from the White Lotus cult was willing to put his life on the line, then perhaps you still might stand a chance! But he’s clearly only launched a single attack. He’s turned around and fled a long time ago, running away even faster than a rabbit!”
The snake daemon was like a twisted mountain stream as it slithered about rapidly. In a short while, it swallowed over a dozen people. Neither shamans who knew shaman arts or regular barbarians were its opponent. They were unable to keep their fear under control anymore, turning around and fleeing into the trees.
The surging poisonous mist gathered, abruptly turning into mist snakes that darted towards the fleeing barbarians. As soon as they came into contact with the mist, the barbarians would immediately fall dead, and the shamans would get firmly entwined, becoming even more dead than dead a while later.
It’s able to use its innate abilities with such flexibility. Looks like it’s not a regular daemon! I heard the old man mention some Snake God cult. Don’t tell me this snake daemon also belongs to an organisation? That would make sense. Only with the guidance of a powerful daemon can it possess such intelligence, Li Qingshan thought.
He picked up Xianghua Lu and shot into the trees quickly, vanishing into the night in the blink of an eye.
The snake daemon raised its head and stared in the direction he had vanished off into for a while before lowering its head again. It seemed to relax. During the moment earlier, it had felt a great sense of horror as if it had run into its natural predator. That was not an opponent it could defeat.
“Nicely done, Big Stripe! The people of the White Lotus cult all deserve to die. These people of the tribes actually abandoned the snake god and joined the White Lotus cult. They well and truly deserve death!”
A while later, a thin, pale-faced man walked out from the forest. After looking around, he nodded in satisfaction. The snake daemon referred to as “Big Stripe” slithered over affectionately and used its head to nudge the man, producing a hiss like it was telling him something.
“What? Three escaped? One of them belonged to the White Lotus cult. We’ll chase them down!”
However, the snake daemon slithered around, refusing to go anywhere. It only constantly hissed away.
“One of them is an extremely terrifying child, as terrifying as your mother. But ma’am Gold Thread is a mighty Daemon General! Alright, we need to go back and report this quickly so that the ma’am can decide what we do!” The man frowned in some disbelief. If the child belonged to the White Lotus cult, would Big Stripe still be alive?
The envoy of the White Lotus cult fled madly, and the trees around him recede rapidly. With his familiarity of the land and using the barbarians as bait, he actually managed to escape. There was not a hint of kindness or amiability left on his face anymore. He cursed viciously.
“Fucking hell. You all remain in the Zi Lotus altar happily, while I have to come out and risk my life! That bitch Xianghua Man must have been colluding with the remnants of the Snake God cult, and that kid is clearly a spy. Once I report this to the altar lord, I’ll have your Fragrant Flower clan completely butchered!”
“Oi, what are you chirping on about?”
The envoy abruptly looked back. Before he knew it, the child called Goldie A’yue was already keeping pace with him with a smile on his face. Xianghua Lu stared at him in disbelief, struggling to believe that a kind, amiable old man could actually say something so vicious.
His heart suddenly lurched. No, I’m definitely not this little bastard’s opponent. What do I do?
“Be careful ahead!” Li Qingshan pointed ahead.
“What!?” A black shadow filled his vision.
With a great thunk, the envoy slammed heavily against a tree before rebounding and landing on the ground. The tree leaves rustled and fell. Although he was protected by true qi such that he did not suffer any major wounds, he felt like his head was spinning. He was covered in leaves and mud, which made him seem miserable.
Li Qingshan planted his foot on his head. “Please continue leading the way and bring us to the Zi Lotus altar!”
The envoy prostrated on the ground. “I’m willing to join your holy cult and become the most loyal servant of sir snake god!”
