Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 68 Overwhelming Ferocity, Uniting to Fight the Enemy

"My cultivation is shallow; if I wish to deal with this Black Water Serpent, I will need the Holy Envoy to be by my side to provide support and distract me!"

Meeting You Ji's gaze, Zhang Xiaofan spoke softly, his eyes completely open, showing no sign of doubt.

You Ji looked at Zhang Xiaofan with suspicion. Although the Black Water Serpent was an ancient demonic beast with terrifying strength, apart from its natural enemy, the Yellow Bird, there was probably almost no one in the world who could subdue it.

However, since the old villain was able to subdue the Black Water Serpent, Zhang Xiaofan might have a way to do the same. At the very least, they should be able to keep each other at peace.

Amidst a whirlwind of thoughts, Youji's gaze fell upon Lu Xueqi's still pale face. Her eyes narrowed, and she pondered to herself.

"As expected of the successor of the Hehuan Sect, he is indeed cautious. Well, it is no longer possible to monopolize the treasure of the Dripping Blood Cave on this trip. Being able to get a share of the pie will be enough to give the sect leader an explanation when we return."

Youji felt somewhat helpless. Although they had more manpower, they were no match for the other side when it came to the Blood-Dripping Cave, so they could only accept it reluctantly.

"Alright, I'll cover for you, young hero!"

As the group spoke, the enormous ancient demonic beast simply stood there quietly, without making a move. But even without making any movement, the sheer size of the Black Water Serpent was enough to make ordinary people feel despair.

On the dark sea, a colossal, jet-black serpent floated on the surface, its lower body submerged, its length unknown. The upper half of its body, protruding from the water, was already tens of feet tall, and its exposed torso was more than twice the width of an average person's arm span.

The Blackwater Serpent stood quietly on the sea surface. Compared to it, Zhang Xiaofan and the others were no different from ants.

Strangely, the black water serpent merely watched for a moment without launching an attack. Only the whooshing sound of wind could be heard, accompanied by the contraction and expansion of its thick snake neck.

This scene made Zhang Xiaofan's eyes narrow slightly. He understood that the Black Water Serpent probably sensed the aura of the Blood Devouring Pearl and was observing him to determine if he posed a significant threat.

If it does, the Blackwater Serpent will obediently follow orders; but if it doesn't, this ancient ferocious serpent will likely seek revenge against the old villain from back then.

"What do we do now?"

At this moment, You Ji didn't know what to do, so she could only ask Zhang Xiaofan in a low voice.

"What should we do? Of course, we should strike first and make our move!"

Zhang Xiaofan's pupils suddenly contracted, and then he shouted. As he spoke, a gentle force sent Lu Xueqi to the back, and at the same time, his body soared into the air, holding the Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs tightly in his hand.

"Roar!"

As Zhang Xiaofan moved, the Black Water Serpent seemed to sense some kind of threat, and suddenly let out a roar. Then, with a slap of its giant tail, a towering wave transformed into a water wall tens of feet high, sweeping towards Zhang Xiaofan.

Within that wall of water, an incredibly thick snake tail was hidden, carrying boundless energy, and lashed out at Zhang Xiaofan in mid-air.

The Black Water Serpent moved swiftly, but as soon as Zhang Xiaofan shouted, a pale yellow seal appeared in Youji's hand. With a quick hand gesture, a magic array appeared beneath Youji.

Seeing the water wall approaching, You Ji's eyes narrowed, and her hand seals changed again. The Vermilion Bird Seal shone brightly and struck directly at the snake's tail in the water wall.

"Oh!"

The enormous snake tail slammed heavily onto the seal, and You Ji was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood that landed on her black veil.

However, the snake's tail paused slightly after being blocked by the large seal, then slammed onto the shore, causing the earth to shake violently once more. At the same time, the towering waves crashed down, soaking You Ji and the others completely.

At this moment, no one cared about these things. Biyao and Lu Xueqi could only stand at a distance, their faces showing a hint of fear as they looked at the ferocious Black Water Serpent, their hearts filled with worry.

Is there really anyone in the world who can rival such devastating divine power?
"How long will you take?"

Youji stared at the enormous ancient beast before her and hurriedly urged Zhang Xiaofan to hurry up. Zhang Xiaofan did not speak, but his hand paused.

"Buzz!"

Zhang Xiaofan held the Azure Heaven and Yellow Spring in one hand in front of him, while drawing runes in the air with the other. Then, streaks of dark blue light descended from the Azure Heaven and Yellow Spring, transforming into chains in mid-air.

"Whizzing!"

The chains moved with incredible speed, reaching the Blackwater Serpent in the blink of an eye. One after another, chains as thick as an arm, yet as thin as a hair in front of the Blackwater Serpent, wrapped around its enormous body.

As soon as the chains wrapped around it, the Black Water Serpent seemed to be greatly stimulated, and suddenly began to roll around in the sea, trying to break free from the chains formed by the magical power.

Zhang Xiaofan's expression suddenly changed, and his hand seals shifted again as streams of magical power flowed from his body into the Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs in an attempt to stabilize the situation.

But the next moment, a tremendous force struck. It turned out that the Black Water Serpent, in its great struggle, directly pulled on countless chains of magical power, throwing Zhang Xiaofan away.

You Ji was startled. Without saying a word, she used her magic to leap after him. She knew that if Zhang Xiaofan failed to suppress this ancient demon beast, which seemed to be even more powerful than recorded, they would all die.

While suspended in mid-air, Zhang Xiaofan was trying to steady himself so that he could use the power of the Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs to fight against the Black Water Serpent when his pupils suddenly contracted.

"boom!"

The sea suddenly exploded, and a thick snake tail burst out of the water, slapping towards Zhang Xiaofan. The black water serpent seemed to be trying to fight to the death and crush this ant that was trying to control him.

Just then, a large, pale yellow seal flashed in the air and rushed over at lightning speed, and a black figure appeared in front of Zhang Xiaofan as well.

"Oh!"

As if struck by a heavy blow, You Ji was sent flying backward and crashed into Zhang Xiaofan. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan reached out and caught You Ji, preventing her from falling into the icy seawater below.

If she were to fall into the sea and be tossed about by the towering waves, it would be extremely difficult for Youji to survive.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out through the light gauze, dripping onto Zhang Xiaofan's arm. Youji didn't care about that, and took a breath to speak to Zhang Xiaofan.

"Hold on to me, I'll handle the Blackwater Serpent's counterattack. You subdue this ferocious beast as quickly as possible!"

Youji naturally understood this, so if they wanted to subdue the Blackwater Serpent, they had to unite as one, with one doing everything to suppress it and the other doing everything to resist it.

As long as they can hold out, the Blackwater Serpent will no longer dare to act aggressively.
