Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Slaying the Jiao Serpent!

The spear entered with precision, and the serpent, in great pain, struggled fiercely!

Snakes have their seven inches, dragons have their reverse scales, both located at precisely the same spot!

The serpent, neither snake nor dragon, shared the exact same weakness!

Lu Chen gripped the long spear tightly in his hand, constantly commanding water spirit power, trying to drive the spear deeper, and thus kill the serpent outright!

But the serpent’s strength was far beyond his imagination!

Although he was connected to the mystic pearl, the pearl’s mystery did not provide Lu Chen with strength.

On the contrary, the mystic pearl would absorb the spiritual power from his body to manifest its effects.

There was no use for the mystic pearl at this point, so Lu Chen decisively severed the link with it and threw it directly into his storage bag, focusing all his attention on facing the serpent!

Tormented past endurance, the serpent writhed madly at the bottom of the water, and Lu Chen found that, for now, besides gripping the shaft of the spear tightly, he had no other role to play.

As time passed, blood also seeped from the serpent’s body.

After dispersing into the sea, the strength in the serpent’s struggles diminished.

Lu Chen knew the commotion caused by the serpent was likely to attract more dangers lurking in the depths of the sea, so he tried again to command the spear to stab down.

With each inch the spear pierced deeper, the serpent convulsed violently.

Not until the serpent was silent did Lu Chen start using the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique to observe the demonic power aura on the serpent’s body.

Seeing the aura dissipate with the water’s flow, he was completely certain that the serpent was dead for good!

He let out a breath, only then beginning to examine the serpent’s condition.

It must be said, he was incredibly lucky; scale armor covered the serpent’s body, only the reverse scale at its seven inches was the most vulnerable.

"Indeed, lucky, but this serpent seems stronger than the Dragon Scale Beast... and its claws appear much sharper. It would be a pity to leave it here at the bottom of the sea!"

Generally speaking, the stronger the demon beast, the more valuable its entire body is.

For a Qi Cultivator like Lu Chen, utilizing this serpent in artifact refining could yield far greater results.

It’s known that the Dragon Scale Beast’s scale armor, not yet refined and simply worn, withstood a Qi Cultivator’s strike; thus, one can imagine how much better the effects would be with armor made from this serpent’s scales!

Moreover, this serpent had a demon pill – if given to Xiao Hei to consume, perhaps Xiao Hei’s strength would surge again!

Lu Chen, reluctant to leave it, pondered for a while and decided to drag the serpent out of the water for the time being.

It was likely to be safer the closer he got to the surface; then he could find a way to dissect the serpent and place it into his storage bag.

He had tried once before and found that the storage bag could not accommodate the serpent’s body, so he had to settle for second best.

Dragging the serpent’s corpse, Lu Chen headed upwards; thanks to his water spirit power enveloping him, he was not hindered by the force of the water.

And he met with no mishaps.

Along the way, he encountered several schools of fish that looked like a cross between fish and demons.

But seemingly, they too were wary of the serpent’s size and dared not approach.

This let Lu Chen know that there were definitely even more formidable demon beasts present in these waters!

"I still need to swim quickly to that desolate island; regardless of whether there are demon beasts or not, Qin Yaotiao is likely to seek shelter ashore."

At this moment, Lu Chen had completely escaped the crisis and naturally only thought of Qin Yaotiao.

He continued commanding his spiritual power, dragging the serpent towards the shore swiftly.

However, his previous desperate escape had led him far away, so returning now would take quite some time.

Meanwhile...

Qin Yaotiao had just emerged from the water, holding a magic artifact in her hand, cautiously reaching the desolate island!

"Where have Senior Sister and the young master gone?"

This was her first time in an unfamiliar place since leaving Xuanji Sect, extremely nervous and inexperienced in dealing with the situation.

Completely unknown to her, a pair of large eyes in the darkness were fixed tightly on her!
