Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 221 Crimson-Winged Roaring Serpent

Chapter 221 Crimson-Winged Roaring Serpent (Seeking Subscriptions)

"The Anomalocaris has disappeared. We haven't been able to find any trace of it for a long time. It may have moved to a new territory."

Tang Renhao pondered for a moment and said, "The Crimson-Winged Roaring Serpent is still in its territory. However, the Crimson-Winged Roaring Serpent is not easy to deal with."

"With crimson wings on its back, it can fly and burrow underground, and it can also make strange noises that attack the soul with sonic waves. Master Shen, be careful!"

"Sonic soul attack?"

Shen Xuan was somewhat wary of this innate skill of the demon beast.

Last time, the three-legged water fox's [Burning Spirit Demon Fire] almost hit him, and he was still afraid afterward.

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

His blue ice wall should be able to defend against sonic attacks.

It's not too difficult if you prepare in advance.

"Thank you for informing me, Fellow Daoist Tang. Here are thirty thousand spirit stones!"

Shen Xuan counted out the spirit stones, handed them to Tang Renhao, and then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the surrounding crowd, saying, "Fellow Daoists, I have other important matters to attend to, so I won't chat any longer."

"When we have the chance to return to Yunyuan City in the future, I, Shen, will host a banquet at Juxianlou for everyone. We will drink until we are all drunk!"

"Not at all, Master Shen, you're too kind!"

"Master Shen, I wish you every success!"

May Master Shen's path to enlightenment be everlasting!

The demon hunters responded with smiles.

Back in Yunyuan Immortal City, Shen Xuan considered himself a demon hunter, one of them.

The talismans sold to them were always cheaper than the market price.

Now, Shen Xuan is a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a disciple of a Grandmaster.

Being able to lower myself and address them as fellow Daoists is a great honor for them.

Farewell! Until we meet again!

Shen Xuan summoned the Silver-Winged Teng Snake, mounted it, and rode away on the waves.

Behind them, Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang exchanged a glance.

"Master Shen is so magnanimous!"

"The path is bright!"

Both of them were somewhat moved.

More than 20 years ago, they were all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Shen Xuan is merely a Qi Refining Talisman Master.

Time passes.

Now, Shen Xuan is someone they need to look up to.

"Thankfully, he's our friend!"

"really!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

I don't know why, but I feel quite proud of it.

……

In the East China Sea, in another sea area.

The deepest part of the sea where you can't see your hand in front of your face.

Having used the [Insight] spell, Shen Xuan had been wandering around the territory of the Crimson Winged Serpent for more than ten days.

The sea area is simply too vast.

Shen Xuan searched for more than ten days but still couldn't find the Crimson Winged Serpent.

So he simply transformed into a dragon, unleashing a violent aura to drive away the low-level water demons in this sea area.

Shen Xuan did this to make it harder for the Crimson-Winged Serpent to find food.

Something has happened in the territory of the demon beast; it will show itself sooner or later.

this day.

As usual, Shen Xuan swam in the deep sea.

A strange sound came from the nearby waters.

It was very loud, like the sound of bells and chimes being struck.

It made him extremely uncomfortable.

"found it!"

Shen Xuan followed the sound.

A light suddenly appeared on the Azure Water Sword.

Sure enough, a strange snake was lurking ahead.

The snake's body was crimson, with four crimson wings, and its eyes were filled with a ferocious aura.

Upon seeing Shen Xuan, it opened its mouth and let out a cry.

Like the sound of striking bells and chimes, it was extremely penetrating, causing the seawater to ripple.

An invisible sound wave, imbued with powerful demonic energy, silently attacked Shen Xuan's soul.

Space seemed to be slightly distorted.

Shen Xuan was prepared.

[Water-Repelling Technique]: Parts the water flow in front to create a vacuum, thus isolating the propagation of sonic demonic power.

At the same time, nine dark ice fish leaped out from his body, transforming into nine layers of azure ice walls that blocked his way.

This way, there is no risk of error.

The Crimson-Winged Serpent stood upright like a human, its eyes cold and sinister, radiating a violent and ferocious demonic aura.

It seemed to be in a fit of rage, its eerie snake eyes flashing with a sinister light as it stared intently at Shen Xuan.

Four crimson wings, with each crimson feather standing upright.

"Oh, are you angry?"

After more than ten days of hard work, we finally found the Crimson Winged Roaring Serpent.

Shen Xuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Not bad, you even know how to strike first and launch a sneak attack!"

"You have committed a capital offense!"

While talking.

Shen Xuan's movements did not stop at all.

Continuously perform the hand seals.

[Water Control], [Critical Strike], [Iron Bones], [Immense Strength], [Overturning Rivers and Seas], [Water Condensation Technique], [Water Spirit Gathering Technique], [Ice Soul Cold Water], [Immortal-Slaying Water Qi]...

Shen Xuan's spiritual energy suddenly surged, and countless water spiritual energies from the deep sea rushed into his body.

After the hand seals were completed.

Shen Xuan's spiritual energy was also depleted by about half.

At this moment, the Crimson-Winged Serpent was attacking the Azure Ice Wall.

The nine-layered blue ice wall crumbled layer by layer under the demonic power of the Crimson Winged Serpent.

A dazzling azure light suddenly rose slowly from behind Shen Xuan, and guided by Shen Xuan's divine sense, it pointed towards the Crimson Winged Serpent.

After counting the interest.

Shen Xuan had been preparing for this for a long time, and pointed at the Azure Water Sword.

The sword energy of the Immortal-Slaying Water Qi, imbued with five innate skills and three techniques, suddenly flowed into the Azure Water Sword.

"cut!"

With Shen Xuan's shout.

The Azure Water Sword gleamed with a chilling light, its azure radiance blazing as it frantically absorbed the spiritual energy of the sea within a radius of several miles.

next moment.

The Azure Water Sword swelled to three zhang in length, transforming into a streak of azure light that shot towards the Crimson Winged Serpent in an instant.

Only then did the Crimson Winged Serpent realize the power of the Azure Water Sword.

Out of instinct, the red wings spread slightly and disappeared from the spot, disappearing straight into the sky above the sea.

The Azure Water Sword pursued relentlessly.

Shen Xuan also had auspicious clouds rising from his feet, soaring through the clouds and mist, chasing after the sky.

"Still trying to run!"

Shen Xuan took a deep breath.

His spiritual energy surged.

Then he pointed at the Azure Water Sword again.

The Azure Water Sword suddenly accelerated and shot towards the Crimson Winged Serpent.

"when!"

A tremendous bell-like sound resounded through the sky. The Crimson-Winged Serpent roared, its sinister eyes filled with savage fury.

It turned around and faced the Azure Water Sword directly.

Suddenly, four wings curled up, covering the entire body.

Facing Shen Xuan's immensely powerful Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Sword Qi.

Knowing it couldn't escape, it unleashed all the demonic power within its core, spreading it to its four crimson wings and instantly forming a protective shield.

"Man!"

The Azure Water Sword struck the crimson wings, producing a metallic sound.

The clouds and mist in the sky were all shaken away.

"Huh? That's pretty good defensive capabilities!"

Shen Xuan looked surprised.

This Crimson-Winged Roaring Serpent is somewhat similar to his Silver-Winged Flying Serpent.

However, his strength far surpasses that of the Silver Winged Serpent.

Not only could it launch sonic attacks, but the defensive power of its crimson wings also impressed him.

The Crimson-Winged Serpent was shot backwards by the Azure Water Sword, flying hundreds of feet. Its crimson feathers flew wildly, its wings were covered in blood and flesh, and the blue demonic power covering its body dimmed.

Clearly, it was not in good shape after taking Shen Xuan's sword strike.

However, this also aroused its ferocity.

The Crimson-Winged Serpent spread its wings, extended its head, and spewed out a mouthful of poisonous mist. Then it concealed itself within the mist and viciously bit at Shen Xuan.

"Stubborn!"

Shen Xuan shook his head slightly.

The poisonous mist from the Crimson Winged Serpent had no effect on his fully mastered [Immunity to All Poisons].

Its method of concealment is also fully revealed in the [Illusion-Breaking Eye].

Shen Xuan's spiritual power erupted once more, and the Azure Water Sword suddenly swirled back towards him.

next moment.

It then appeared at the seven-inch neck of the Crimson-Winged Roaring Serpent.

A flash of blue light appeared, revealing its sharp edge.

The Crimson-Winged Serpent's demonic body instantly froze, and layers of ice appeared on its surface.

The moment its vital point was pierced, the Crimson-Winged Serpent was killed.

Soon, the Crimson Winged Serpent was frozen into an ice sculpture by the icy chill attached to the Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Sword Qi.

Within the ice sculpture, a look of bewilderment appeared in the eyes of the Crimson-Winged Serpent.

It seemed not to understand how it, which had always held the power of life and death in the deep sea, could be so easily killed by the cultivator before it.

Shen Xuan put the Crimson Winged Serpent into his beast pouch.

"Unfortunately, we can't find the giant anomalocaris!"

With Shen Xuan's current strength, the upper limit for hunting water demons is the middle grade of the second tier.

Second-tier superior grade, equivalent to the late stage of human Foundation Establishment.

Shen Xuan wasn't confident if the bloodline was pure and the innate skills were powerful.

Even if they manage to win, they cannot guarantee that they will emerge unscathed.

If one damages their Dao foundation in order to hunt demonic beasts, then it would be a losing proposition.

After all, he was only a mid-grade Dao Foundation cultivator.

Achieving the Core Formation stage is quite difficult.

"The Shadow Forest is home to the Deepwater Hook Serpent and the Thunder Beast, both of which are second-tier high-grade. With my current strength, it's best not to act rashly."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

"Let's go back and refine these two mid-grade second-tier water demons first!"

Shen Xuan glanced at the vast sea.

Who knows how many sea monsters are lurking in the deep sea?

Further ahead, there is a possibility of encountering a third-tier demon king.

With his current strength, if he were to encounter a demon king, he would be extremely lucky to escape.

Otherwise, it would just be giving the Demon King an extra meal.

"go back!"

Shen Xuan summoned the Silver-Winged Teng Snake, rode on it, and soared through the clouds back to Feiyun Mountain in Qingyang Prefecture.

……

now.

Below Shen Xuan and the Crimson Winged Serpent.

On the surface of the East China Sea.

There were three warships, and the monks on board were all looking up at the sky.

"Huh? A cultivator actually forced the Crimson-Winged Serpent to the surface of the sea!"

"In just a few breaths, he killed the Crimson-Winged Serpent with a single sword strike. This person is truly remarkable!"

A series of exclamations sounded.

Each of these three warships is led by a Foundation Establishment Realm demon hunter.

One of them was none other than Tang Renhao and his group.

"Has Master Shen's strength reached such a level?"

Zhu Jintang looked at Tang Renhao.

"Otherwise what? Why would he want us to help him gather information about the water demon?"

A dozen curious and surprised gazes turned to Tang Renhao.

"I heard that when Master Shen was sixty years old, he was still only at the third level of Qi Refining!"

"Hehe, everyone, don't spread this around. Master Shen has a nickname, Turtle Master! The reason? You all know!"

"I hate guys like you who only say half of what they mean! It's just that Master Shen is cautious and doesn't like to fight with people!"

The demon hunters were buzzing with discussion.

"Do you think Master Shen will be able to form his core in the future?"

A demon hunter asked cautiously.

The voices of the crowd suddenly fell silent.

All the demon hunters on the ship turned their gazes toward Tang Renhao.

He is the leader of the demon hunters in Yunyuan Immortal City, and also the person with the highest cultivation level.

"Cultivating the Core? That's very difficult!"

Tang Renhao looked in the direction where Shen Xuan had disappeared.

"However, Master Shen is now a disciple of a Grandmaster, so he should have a chance to form his core!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the demon hunters started discussing it again.

"Yes, that's what I think too!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Haha, now that Master Shen has achieved Core Formation, can I also boast that I have a friend who is a Core Formation True Person from a prestigious Taoist sect?"

The demon hunters boasted and laughed amongst themselves.

Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang's mood suddenly became heavy.

The former Qi Refining Talisman Masters have grown to the point where they all have to look up to them.

"Alright! Everyone, stop talking nonsense!"

"If this damages Master Shen's reputation, things could get very difficult to handle!"

Upon hearing this, the demon hunters all nodded in agreement.

They all knew it in their hearts.

The gap between Shen Xuan and them is widening, and their interactions will become less and less frequent in the future.

Even Tang Renhao, who was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, had to show respect to Shen Xuan.

On the other warship.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator stared in shock as Shen Xuan swiftly and decisively killed the Crimson Winged Serpent.

"Shen Xuan, it really is you! So, you've been hiding your strength all along!"
