Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 140: Putting to Death a Second Rank

After being refined by Meng Zhang, the First Rank mirror called the Billowing Sea Mirror can automatically protect its master without deliberate control. The commotion caused by Meng Zhang and Jue Ying has prompted the surrounding cultivators, who were surrounded by poisonous sand lizards, to respond quickly.

Talismans scattered all over the sky, transforming into sharp spells that bombarded the poisonous sand lizards in all directions. Various magic tools flew out of the encirclement, causing chaos among the poisonous sand lizards.

Human cultivators are more adept at harnessing external objects' power compared to the demonic beasts. Whether it's talismans that can be activated with a small amount of true qi or magic tools with various functions, they can greatly amplify the strength of human cultivators. In contrast, demonic beasts, who rely solely on their innate talents, have limited abilities even if their physical bodies are strong and their claws sharp.

Before reaching the Third Rank, most demonic beasts can only use their innate talents, limiting their methods and power. On the other hand, human cultivators can tap into their potential, which temporarily suppressed the surrounding poisonous sand lizards with the help of Meng Zhang and Jue Ying.

Xu Chengxian and a middle-aged man leaped out of the crowd and pounced on the Second Rank poisonous sand lizard's location. As a Sect Master, Xu Chengxian, from the Forest Mountain School, has several hidden means at his disposal, enabling him to temporarily unleash the combat power of a Foundation Building cultivator.

Previously, the vast number of poisonous sand lizards made Xu Chengxian somewhat unable to focus. Additionally, the Second Rank poisonous sand lizard on the side kept a close eye on him, preventing him from exerting his full strength, fearing he might become the target of the powerful beast.

Now that Meng Zhang and Jue Ying joined the fight, not only did they kill numerous First Rank poisonous sand lizards, but they also drew the attention of the Second Rank poisonous sand lizard. If Xu Chengxian couldn't seize the opportunity at hand, he would appear inept.

He threw out a talisman that disappeared into a stream of light as it approached the ground near the Second Rank poisonous sand lizard. From the ground, a giant sand golem formed entirely from sand crawled out. Xu Chengxian had summoned the present sand golem using a Second Rank talisman.

Although Xu Chengxian only possessed a Refining Qi ninth layer Cultivation Base, preventing him from fully unleashing the talisman's power, the sand golem, not at its peak, was still challenging to deal with.

The sand golem raised its enormous arms and tightly wrapped itself around the body of the Second Rank poisonous sand lizard, rendering it almost immobile.

Seizing the opportunity, Meng Zhang commanded his flying sword to strike the Second Rank poisonous sand lizard fiercely. The sound of metal clashing continuously echoed as the creature's body suffered varying degrees of wounds.

Jue Ying's figure intermittently appeared within the massive shadow of the Second Rank poisonous sand lizard. Each time it appeared, it left behind black marks on the creature's body.

The middle-aged man who had jumped out with Xu Chengxian had a higher Cultivation Base than him. He displayed remarkably adept spellcasting skills, using various spells to block the approaching poisonous sand lizards.

The Second Rank poisonous sand lizard struggled fiercely after being entangled by the sand golem, causing numerous wounds to appear on the golem's body.

As a summoned creature, the sand golem would not cry out in pain or let its combat effectiveness be affected by injuries, no matter how many wounds it sustained. Although the sand golem's body was already damaged halfway, it still firmly held the Second Rank poisonous sand lizard, preventing it from breaking free.

Meng Zhang reached a position not far from the Second Rank poisonous sand lizard and unleashed the Solar True Flame to burn it. A golden flame drifted onto the creature's face, and its agonizing cries echoed through the air. The flame left a large charred area on the creature's face, even blinding one of its eyes.

With a certain level of intelligence, the Second Rank poisonous sand lizard was much smarter than an ordinary human child. It hated Meng Zhang to the core and took advantage of a moment when he was off guard to unleash its deadly tongue, which was as invincible as it was destructive.

Its unstoppable tongue shot towards Meng Zhang. Caught by surprise due to the close proximity, Meng Zhang was unable to dodge in time.

However, Jue Ying reacted the quickest and threw a small shield to block the tongue's path. The tongue easily shattered the shield without losing any speed.

A sea-blue light shield appeared in front of Meng Zhang, but it was also easily penetrated by the tongue.

In a critical moment, a small mirror flew out from Meng Zhang's body, actively confronting the elongated tongue.

With a crisp sound, the small mirror was shattered by the tongue, slightly slowing its speed.

Without hesitation, Meng Zhang rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the lethal tongue. If it had hit him, his life would have been in serious jeopardy.

After a while, the middle-aged man finally reached a place not far from there, protecting Xu Chengxian. He threw a green bead towards the head of the Second Rank poisonous sand lizard.

The green bead exploded in the air, transforming into a green light that directly pierced through the creature's head. This was the Yin Thunder, a substance that could only be refined by a cultivator at the Foundation Building stage. The Yin Thunders from famous sects like the Liu Family's Cold Poison Yin Thunder and the Earthfire Sect's Poison Fire Yin Thunder were renowned for their exceptional power. Though the Forest Spring Watch cultivator's Yin Thunder may not have had a prominent reputation, its power was formidable.

The Second Rank poisonous sand lizard's head was pierced by the Yin Thunder, and it quickly lost its life.

With the death of the Second Rank poisonous sand lizard, although there were still many First Rank ones remaining, they were now disoriented and leaderless, quickly falling into chaos. Without the Second Rank poisonous sand lizard's control, the beastly nature within them took over, causing them to act without reason, attacking some human cultivators while terrifyingly fleeing from others.

The human cultivators immediately launched a comprehensive counterattack. Including Meng Zhang, all the capable cultivators began to kill the remaining poisonous sand lizards before them. The fur, flesh, and claws of the demonic beasts were all valuable materials to the cultivators.

After a round of pursuit and killing, most of the poisonous sand lizards that attacked the merchant caravan were wiped out. After this intense battle, Meng Zhang felt a sense of satisfaction and relief.

Of course, Jue Ying was the true killer. Not only was he exceptionally skilled in killing humans, but he also proved to be very capable when dealing with demonic beasts.

After the battle ended, Meng Zhang finally had a chance to catch up with Xu Chengxian and exchange old stories. He approached Xu Chengxian with Jue Ying and briefly introduced him to the latter.
