Chapter 58: New Dungeon – Ancient Sword Tomb (14)

Chapter 58: New Dungeon – Ancient Sword Tomb (14)

Let the heretic Fang Heng mistakenly believe that the reason he knows him so well is because of the green lotus pupil.

These are all things that Su Chen had planned long ago.

You should know that before this time, Su Chen had actually forced the heretic Fang Heng to reveal his true body many times.

But every time he reached this step, Su Chen would always be one step behind and unfortunately lose to the heretic Fang Heng.

Because the heretic Fang Heng's body at this stage is really too strong.

So strong that even if Su Chen hit him with all his strength, he could only seriously injure him and could not truly defeat him.

So Su Chen began to change his strategy from then on, thinking about how to kill him before the heretic Fang Heng revealed his true body.

Or weaken his strength after revealing his true body.

For the former, Su Chen tried to attack Fang Heng with all his strength as soon as he entered the door.

But the result was that once he did this, the Evil Sword Red Tail would directly seize Fang Heng's body in one fell swoop out of instinct for survival.

And start the second stage on the spot to suppress Su Chen.

Therefore, if he confronted him head-on at the beginning, Su Chen would have almost no chance of winning.

So what he could do was weaken the heretic Fang Heng as much as possible or weaken the strength of the Evil Sword Red Tail.

He would use himself as bait and then severely injure the Evil Sword Red Tail in one fell swoop.

This is the solution Su Chen found out.

Although his own strength would also be affected in this process,

But in comparison, the Evil Sword Red Tail would be affected more.

In this way, the gap between him and the Evil Sword Red Tail would undoubtedly be further shortened.

After several attempts, Su Chen determined that the latter was the best solution.

On the second floor of the Sword Pavilion, Su Chen looked at the Evil Sword Red Tail Snake, whose head was about to touch the ceiling.

He knew that as long as he could survive the Evil Sword Red Tail Snake's rampage for a while,

Then the chance to win that he had been waiting for would come.

Because he was not fighting alone!

Although the Red Tail Snake looked imposing at this moment, it was actually forced into a desperate situation.

Because it had shown its true form of the heretic path, it had already used up all its heretic path power.

So it could no longer suppress the will that originally belonged to Fang Heng in its body.

If it could not defeat Su Chen in a short period of time, it would be at a disadvantage in the competition of will with Fang Heng, allowing Fang Heng to occupy its body again.

At that moment, the Red Tail Snake did not dare to think about what would happen.

With Fang Heng's stubborn mind, it would probably die bravely at that time.

Thinking of this, the Red Tail Snake immediately stopped holding back and attacked with all its strength.

Time... was not on its side.

At the same time, Su Chen looked at the huge Red Tail Snake that was attacking him fiercely and took a deep breath.

His eyes became firm because time... was on his side!

Bang!

As the Red Tail Snake and Su Chen exerted their strength simultaneously, a battle even more brutal than before began.

In the open space on the second floor of the Sword Pavilion, the Red Tail Snake relied on its massive body to launch fierce attacks.

Its tail was like a giant sword, and every time it fell, the entire second floor would shake violently.

Although such an attack was far less fast than the human form at the beginning,

In the small area of the second floor of the Sword Pavilion, such large-scale attacks also made it difficult for Su Chen to dodge.

If he was not careful, he could be killed by its tail.

If you can describe the current situation of Su Chen and the Red Tail Snake in one sentence:

That is, the Red Tail Snake can make countless mistakes, but Su Chen... can only make one mistake.

But what makes the Red Tail Snake feel uneasy is that even if it goes all out, Su Chen can still avoid its attacks.

And in this gap, he can still counterattack many times.

Where did this Qi gathering stage guy come from?

Seeing that he couldn't take down Su Chen for a long time, and feeling the pain in his mind,

the Red Tail Snake knew that he didn't have much time left.

If it dragged on any longer, it would surely die!

"Roar!"

The Red Tail Snake roared, and a large amount of red poisonous mist emanated from its fangs.

As an ancient spiritual sword made from a thousand-year-old poisonous python,

the Red Tail Snake's real ability lies in the deadly poison that kills the enemy with one blow.

This poison can not only paralyze the body of a cultivator but also corrode the cultivator's spiritual power to a certain extent.

For most cultivators, it has a strong restraining effect.

Not to mention that it is only used to deal with a small Qi gathering stage cultivator.

But because it fell into Su Chen's trap at the beginning, the Red Tail Snake had to give up one arm.

As a result, it only had one of the two fangs that could release poisonous mist.

Consequently, the poisonous mist that could quickly spread throughout the second floor of the Sword Pavilion could only spread at a relatively slow speed, and its toxicity was greatly reduced.

Although this move seems to be unsolvable, it has a huge flaw.

Because the Red Tail Snake... couldn't move at this time!

Seeing this, Su Chen no longer chose to dodge and rushed towards the poisonous fog.

"The opportunity... is fleeting."

Roar!

Accompanied by the iconic dragon roar, Su Chen, who had been accumulating strength before, completely exploded.

His figure kept flowing, and every time he accelerated, he would leave an afterimage in the original place.

After several staggered movements, he suddenly rushed into the Red Tail Snake's poisonous fog.

Looking at Su Chen, who took the initiative to rush into the poisonous fog, the Red Tail Snake's face flashed a trace of sarcasm.

But the next second, the smile on his face disappeared.

Because a lot of purple flames burst forth from Su Chen's body.

Although these flames could not dispel the surrounding poisonous fog, they could also prevent the poisonous fog from easily touching Su Chen.

And it was this detail that allowed Su Chen to cross the poisonous fog and arrive at the Red Tail Snake.

Looking at Su Chen's cold eyes in the air, the Red Tail Snake felt an inexplicable threat of death.

With no way out, the Red Tail Snake went completely crazy.

"Do you think you can kill me like this, arrogant boy!!!"

Akaao roared, and then prepared to bite Su Chen directly, his voice fierce.

He didn't believe that his powerful heretic body couldn't withstand Su Chen's sword!

And if Su Chen was bitten by him, he would definitely die!

But just as the Red Tail Snake was about to act, he suddenly found that the space around him... had changed.

It turned into a void of white space.

"Xiao Chi, this... should end."

Red Tail Snake turned its head and found that Fang Heng, who had disappeared for a long time, stood beside him at some point.

He had transformed back into the original form, floating in the void space.

And Fang Heng was no longer the ugly zombie but had reverted to the gentle and humble appearance he had in Qingyun Sect.

Looking at Fang Heng like this, the Red Tail Snake was inexplicably angry.

"End? You want me to end it like this?"

"Fang Heng, do you take yourself too seriously?"

"If I hadn't followed a cowardly waste like you, even if I died, I wouldn't have died so miserably in the Sword Pavilion. Instead, I should have fought to the death with the evil spirit at the last moment, like other spirit swords."

"In this way, I could be said to have died a worthy death!"

"But how did you do it? You actually hid in the Sword Pavilion and didn't dare to go out. Even your death was caused so miserably by others."

"How can you let me end it!"

"Not only do I not want to end it, I will also kill my way out of the Sword Pavilion and turn the world upside down."

"I just want to tell you that the fate of a sword cultivator should never be to wait for death in one place!"

"You are a coward who has never dared to see blood in his life; why do you care about me!"

Facing the furious spirit sword Red Tail, Fang Heng just listened to it gently vent its inner resentment without refuting.

That gentle smile was like a kind parent, patiently listening to the rebellion of his child.

He was not angry but... just expressed an indescribable tolerance.

After the Red Tail Snake vented its anger, Fang Heng finally spoke.

"I know, Xiaochi, it was all my fault at the beginning. I was indeed too cowardly…"

Fang Heng walked up to the Red Tail Snake, smiled, and gently touched the Red Tail Snake's sword body floating in the air.

"Master said that if I was afraid, I should retreat behind him, so I did."

"My senior brothers and sisters said that if I was afraid, I should retreat behind them, so I did."

"But as I was retreating, I found that everyone standing in front of me... disappeared."

"During the time I was hiding in the Sword Pavilion, I actually asked myself more than once, if the Sword Pavilion is gone, where can I retreat to?"

"And this question finally found an answer when I woke up again and saw Fellow Daoist Su."

"Xiao Chi, you and I are both from the Qingyun Sect after all, so we shouldn't cause trouble for other disciples anymore."

"I have been retreating all my life, but this time... I won't retreat."

"If you are afraid, Xiao Chi, then this time it's your turn to hide behind me... As long as you don't see blood, you won't be afraid."

Hearing this, the Red Tail Snake was silent.

After a long time, the Red Tail Snake spoke again.

But this time, its tone was no longer full of complaints, but an indescribable helplessness.

"Idiot, idiot, you are such an idiot, what's wrong with being a heretic, what's wrong with being a demon? Isn't it good to be alive!"

Fang Heng laughed, and he laughed very freely.

"But what the master and the brothers have protected has never been the evil heretic, right?"

"And if it was just the blood of a demon, then I wouldn't be afraid now... maybe."

Seeing Fang Heng's determination, the Red Tail Snake seemed too lazy to refute.

"Okay, okay, meeting you... is bad luck for me; I don't care!"

Hearing this, Fang Heng directly grasped the Evil Sword Red Tail's hilt and whispered, "Until now... I have wronged you."

"Didn't you say you haven't seen blood? Then this time, you can see it."

As he said this, Fang Heng raised the sword and stabbed it into his body.

Looking at the blood flowing from the Red Tail Snake's body, Fang Heng smiled and said, "It turns out that the blood of this evil heretic... is not scary."

Slowly, Fang Heng's soul began to break apart.

On his deathbed, Fang Heng looked up at the sky and whispered, "Masters, I am Fang Heng at this moment... I am also fighting against demons and defending the Way."

"So... I should not have embarrassed you, Masters."

"After all, I... really tried my best."
