Chapter 857: Chapter 854: The Mysterious Illusionary Serpent

”I don’t really mind!” Zhongli said, ”However, you do have to apologize to Junior Sister Yun Yao and Junior Sister Jian You.”

Xu Wendong nervously looked at Yun Yao and Jian You, bowed, and saluted, ”I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean it.”

”Let’s go!” Yun Yao’s face showed no emotions. Although her physical injuries had healed, the emotional damage would take a lifetime to remedy.

Jian You also gave Xu Wendong a cold look, then struggled to stand, her walking posture looking quite odd.

Seeing Xu Wendong awkwardly frozen in place, not knowing what to do, Zhongli said, ”After the match ends, I’ll find an opportunity for you to make it up to them both separately!”

Xu Wendong forced a smile.

He did want to make it up to the two of them.

He just didn’t know if they would give him the chance.

Zhongli suddenly asked, ”Did you feel the Heavenly Tribulation?”

When Xu Wendong was first seen, he was at the Foundation Establishment Stage Seventh Level, and after dual cultivation with them, Xu Wendong achieved the Foundation Establishment Stage Ninth Level.

Therefore, Zhongli guessed that Xu Wendong’s cultivation technique was very special.

Because of this, she asked Xu Wendong if he felt the Heavenly Tribulation.

After all, whether Yun Yao or Jian You, they were both Golden Core Period virgins.

Xu Wendong shook his head.

Although he did not feel the Thirty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

But his strength had increased by a small realm. With his current strength, he was comparable to a Golden Core Stage Fourth Level cultivator.

Plus, he had a magic artifact, proficient in the Gravity Technique, and had the ability to kill enemies across levels.

Even facing a Golden Core Stage Sixth Level cultivator, he had the power to fight.

------

Afterwards.

The disciples of the Elixir Sect and Jade Maiden Palace formed an alliance to hunt for Golden Core Stage demon beasts.

Their luck was still pretty good, managing to find two more.

However.

Before the disciples of the Jade Maiden Palace could act, a group of followers from the Elixir Sect killed those two demon beasts and even gave their demon cores to the disciples of the Jade Maiden Palace.

They themselves had already killed three Golden Core Stage demon beasts, and last night they killed four demon wolves, obtaining four demon cores.

In total, they had seven.

These seven demon cores could ensure their smooth entry into the third round of the assessment.

As night fell.

The world became much quieter.

A round moon hung in the sky, its bright light seemingly draping the earth in a layer of gauzy silk.

Everyone gathered around the fire, eating roasted meat, wild fruits, and drinking sweet mountain spring water, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Xu Wendong holding a skewered roast meat, approached Yun Yao and Jian You, nervously said, ”Sister Yun, Sister Jian, please have something to eat!”

People’s hearts are made of flesh.

Xu Wendong was deeply aware of the grave mistake he made last night.

Because of this, facing Yun Yao and Jian You, he appeared so nervous.

Jian You snorted lightly, ”The weasel paying a New Year visit to the chicken is up to no good.” Saying this, she turned her head away, clearly not wanting to pay attention to Xu Wendong.

On the other hand, Yun Yao accepted the roast meat Xu Wendong handed over and even said thank you.

Although last night Xu Wendong made her experience something worse than death.

But today’s interaction let her see Xu Wendong anew.

He was a genteel gentleman, humble and polite.

In her opinion, there must be another story behind what happened last night.

”If there’s anything you need, call me at any time.” Xu Wendong left a sentence and returned awkwardly to the fire.

”Sister, have something to eat!” Yun Yao handed a skewer of roast meat to Jian You, ”I believe what happened last night wasn’t Junior Brother Xu’s intention.”

Jian You remained expressionless, ”Sister Yun, you haven’t fallen for him, have you?”

”No, no,” Yun Yao quickly said, ”I just feel that Junior Brother Xu’s behavior last night was too abnormal, greatly different from how he is in reality.”

”Perhaps there are unknown circumstances here.”

”Kill!”

Without warning.

A deafening shout of killing resounded under the night sky.

Everyone jumped in fright.

Looking around, they saw six disciples from the Sword Pavilion and eight disciples from the Heaven Scripture Academy walking out without any expression.

Their eyes were sharp and emitted towering murderous intent.

The sudden scene made everyone stand up, their expressions becoming much more grave.

”Not good,” Lu Chenfeng shouted, ”It seems they’ve been controlled by something!”

This remark made everyone’s heart sink.

If the disciples of the Sword Pavilion and the Heaven Scripture Academy were controlled by something, destined to be a brutal battle among the four powers.

After all, the strong figures from their two powers had already lost self-consciousness.

Moreover, whether it was the Heaven Scripture Academy or the Sword Pavilion, the strength of the younger generation surpassed both the Elixir Sect and the Jade Maiden Palace.

Once a battle begins, the consequences would be unimaginable.

”There’s a rumor of a demon beast called the Illusionary Serpent, which can confuse others and make them obey it!” Zhongli said in a low voice, ”If I’m not mistaken, there should be a powerful Illusionary Serpent here.”

Xu Wendong looked into the dark forest ahead, sensing a faint presence.

He used his soul communication, ”Senior Sister Zhong, can your Jade Maiden Palace’s White Jade Bowl trap these people?”

Zhongli: ”At most, for a quarter of an hour.”

Although the White Jade Bowl is a magic artifact.

But after all, there are fourteen Golden Core Period Experts here, even the White Jade Bowl can’t trap them for long.

”You find a way to trap the disciples of the Sword Pavilion and the Heaven Scripture Academy, I’ll seize the opportunity to kill that Illusionary Serpent!” Xu Wendong, moving extremely fast, escaped the encirclement in the blink of an eye.

A disciple from the Heaven Scripture Academy drew his sword and slashed at Xu Wendong, but Zhu Qing immediately summoned the White Jade Bowl, with the bowl’s mouth facing down, emitting a crystalline glow, enveloping everyone.

”Quick, let’s get out of here first.” Zhu Qing performed the pinching the spell with both hands, transporting everyone outside the glow.

At the same time.

Xu Wendong also unleashed the Golden Iron Fragment Talisman, slashing into the darkness ahead.

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening explosion.

A yellow python over ten meters long and as thick as an adult’s wrist appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Rather than calling it a snake, it might as well be a python.

But.

It had two horn-like things on its head and a pair of purple vertical pupils, just a glance made one feel dizzy.

Zhongli loudly warned, ”Junior Brother Xu, don’t look into its eyes!”

Xu Wendong tore off a piece of cloth from his cuff and tied it in front of his eyes, blocking his sight.

Even though the Illusionary Serpent was only at the Golden Core Stage Seventh Level, its eyes were captivating, even Xu Wendong dared not be careless.

Because of this, he covered his eyes.

At the same time.

He unleashed his magic artifact to slash at the Illusionary Serpent’s head.

The Illusionary Serpent opened its massive mouth, emitting a deafening hiss, causing the void to distort, successfully blocking Xu Wendong’s attack.

Seeing that Xu Wendong’s attacks were ineffective, Lu Chenfeng looked back at everyone, ”Let’s wield our swords together and help Junior Brother Xu slay this Illusionary Serpent!”
