Chapter 69 Bi Lu Joins Forces to Awaken You Ji

"boom!"

"boom!"

On the merciless sea, surging waves crashed mercilessly against the cliffs, creating terrifying explosions that sounded like thunder echoing through the netherworld, causing Lu Xueqi and Biyao's eardrums to ache.

One after another, the surging waves swept in fiercely, forcing Lu Xueqi and Biyao back dozens of feet. They could only watch from afar as the countless dark blue chains converged, occasionally shimmering with pale yellow light.

"Oh!"

After the Vermilion Bird Seal was knocked away by the huge, black snake tail, You Ji's expression suddenly changed, and the thick snake tail in her eyes suddenly magnified.

The next moment, Zhang Xiaofan, who was pouring all his magic power into trying to subdue the ferocious snake in front of him, felt an incredibly terrifying force strike him, and then he was suddenly slapped away.

"Boom!"

With a slap from the snake's tail, a dark figure was sent straight into the cliff, sinking deep into the cliff face and creating a huge crater in the cliff that had been battered by the merciless sea for thousands of years.

Zhang Xiaofan felt a series of stinging pains coming from his back. Fortunately, his physical body was incredibly sturdy, at least much stronger than the cliff. When he crashed into the cliff face, it was like a stone hitting mud.

Although not all his bones were broken, his back was painfully cut by the two swords and the mountain wall. If it weren't for the two swords blocking it, his back would have been torn open. As for his internal organs, they felt like they were being churned up.

However, Zhang Xiaofan was more worried about You Ji's condition than his own. If You Ji didn't help him resist the Black Water Serpent's attacks, it would be a pipe dream for him to hold out until the Black Water Serpent was exhausted.

The Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs were forged by melting down the Bloodthirsty Bead and the Soul-Capturing Staff. Its power is much stronger than that of the Bloodthirsty Bead, but Zhang Xiaofan is only at the peak of the Jade Purity Realm.

Although Zhang Xiaofan's actual combat strength is comparable to that of the early stage of the Shangqing Realm, this is only possible if he uses the Burning Sword, which has no way to counter the Black Water Serpent.

Moreover, after thousands of years of recuperation, this ferocious serpent is now much stronger than it was a thousand years ago, and is probably comparable to the Taiqing Realm now.

Even after absorbing the endless Yin energy, which greatly increased the power of the Burning Sword, and even if Zhang Xiaofan were willing to risk temporarily losing control and unleash the Heavenly Secret Seal to fight it, he might not be able to defeat the Black Water Serpent.

This enormous gap in realm and strength cannot be bridged by a single sword.

Of course, if Zhang Xiaofan wanted to leave, he could easily retreat, but in that case, Lu Xueqi would certainly not survive.

Moreover, with the fight already at this point, escaping? Absolutely not!

Zhang Xiaofan gripped the Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs tightly in his hand. The power of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao was almost exhausted, and he had already secretly used the true methods of Buddhism.

The chains generated by the Netherworld constantly moved within the Blackwater Serpent's body, causing it immense pain.

Perhaps it is because the Blackwater Serpent has been immersed in the cold, merciless sea for thousands of years that its endurance is exceptionally strong, and even after so long, it still has the strength to struggle.

Of course, after such a long time, although the Blackwater Serpent's ferocity remained undiminished, it was gradually showing signs of fatigue.

Taking advantage of the Blackwater Serpent's momentary pause, Zhang Xiaofan quickly shook You Ji, who seemed to have stopped moving, and asked softly.

"Are you OK?"

Just as Zhang Xiaofan was about to look down when he received no response, he sensed a tremendous force approaching from the Netherworld.

"Damn it!"

Zhang Xiaofan immediately understood that this was the Black Water Serpent's final struggle, and it would undoubtedly be its most ferocious counterattack.

"Boom!!" Another series of giant waves surged up, and the immense force directly pulled Zhang Xiaofan, who was embedded in the pit in the mountain wall, out.

Zhang Xiaofan, who was flying in the air, was so shaken by the Black Water Serpent that he could no longer see his surroundings. He could only hold on tightly to the long flute in his hand to keep himself from being thrown off. At the same time, he held You Ji's body tightly with his left arm to prevent her from falling and being crushed by the Black Water Serpent's tail.

Zhang Xiaofan, who was flying in the air, had already done his best to hold the Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs tightly, so how could he possibly resist the attack of the Black Water Serpent?

Just as Zhang Xiaofan caught a glimpse of a huge black shadow approaching out of the corner of his eye, he only had time to turn his body. The next moment, Zhang Xiaofan felt as if an entire mountain had crashed down on his back.

"Oh!"

The enormous sound was quickly swallowed up by the roar of the waves, but Lu Xueqi, who was in the distance, felt her heart clench, because the pale yellow light that had been resisting the Black Water Serpent's attack had disappeared.

Biyao was even more worried about Youji's safety. Seeing that Youji's life or death was unknown, she immediately spoke up.

"We can settle our scores later, let's join forces, shall we?"

Lu Xueqi did not speak upon hearing this, but indifferently drew her divine sword, Tianya, and a sky-blue sword light soared into the sky.

Upon seeing this, Biyao conjured a white, wondrous flower in her hand, and with a wave of her small hand, a giant wondrous flower appeared at Lu Xueqi's feet.

"boom!"

Another colossal wave swept in, slamming Zhang Xiaofan, who was in mid-air, directly onto the rocky beach.

Immediately afterwards, a huge snake tail rose high, forcefully breaking free of a chain, and carrying a strong stench of blood, it was about to lash out at Zhang Xiaofan on the rocky beach.

Just then, two streaks of light flew in from afar. A sky-blue sword beam swept towards the snake's tail, while several white, strange flowers drifted toward the wound where blood was splattering.

The strange flower, though seemingly slow in its swaying, preceded the sword's edge, drifting into the enormous wound.

"Roar!!"

The intense pain caused the Blackwater Serpent to roar wildly, and the power of its tail suddenly decreased, causing it to collide with the sword light.

Lu Xueqi's expression changed slightly as a tremendous force was about to strike. Just then, a strange flower caught up from behind and crashed into the snake's tail.

"boom!"

The powerful force sent Lu Xueqi and Biyao flying back, and the terrifying snake tail was finally repelled for the first time.

However, the Black Water Serpent, in its violent struggle, once again carried Zhang Xiaofan and his companion away from the rocky beach.

Seeing that You Ji still hadn't made any move, Zhang Xiaofan became anxious. This was the final moment, and he couldn't do without You Ji's help.

Zhang Xiaofan, who was flying through the air, didn't have time to think and bit You Ji's shoulder. The intense pain immediately woke You Ji, who had been knocked unconscious earlier.

With a faint taste of blood still lingering in his mouth, Zhang Xiaofan quickly spoke.

"Quick, hold on one more time, just one more time!"

Awakened by the pain, You Ji's expression changed upon hearing the sound, clearly remembering the current crisis. She immediately endured the pain and tried her best to use her magic to summon the Vermilion Bird Seal that had fallen into the sea.

The next moment, a pale yellow light rose from the dark seawater.
