Chapter 118: Chapter 118 : Dragon Slayer
Chapter 118 : Dragon Slayer
In the center of the ancient temple, on an old straw mat, lay a different beggar. His tattered cotton-padded jacket, though with obvious holes, stubbornly shielded him from the cold wind. His back was turned toward the temple door, and his snoring was so loud that it seemed to announce his existence to the world.
Outside the temple gate, Xu Qing quietly observed this special beggar. The melon seeds in his hand were peeled off one by one, but his eyes never left the sleeping beggar. He didn't understand why this beggar was so oblivious to the commotion around him.
Xu Qing decided to test it. He took out a sweet potato from his pocket and gently threw it to the beggar. Even though the force was not strong, the sudden touch still woke the beggar up instantly. He turned around and looked at Xu Qing. His sleepy eyes carried a hint of vigilance.
Seeing the sweet potatoes on the ground, the beggar's eyes immediately lit up. He grabbed the sweet potato and chuckled at Xu Qing. Then, he ate it eagerly.
Xu Qing took out another sweet potato and shook it, then walked into the temple door. He noticed that the light in the beggar's eyes did not disappear, but became brighter. He knew that this beggar was not as simple as he looked.
He walked to the mountain statue and began to examine it carefully. He felt the gaze behind him, but he didn't look back. His eyes swept around the temple, searching for the missing baby girls.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on the abdomen of the mountain god statue on the left, and his heart skipped a beat. There, he saw hundreds of colorful snakes coiled together as if asleep.
Xu Qing took a deep breath. He knew that this ancient temple was not simple. And that beggar might be the key to finding the baby girl. He had to be careful and vigilant at the same time. There is a fist-sized hole in the back of each foot of the statue, and it is striking that they are intact in other places. Obviously, these two holes were specially opened for venomous snakes to enter and exit. Turning to another shorter statue, Xu Qing spotted a shocking swarm of ants. These ants were much larger than ordinary ants. Each of them was the size of a thumb's belly, and their bodies were shining with oil. The claws on their heads were curved and long, and the black light flickered.
Xu Qing now fully understood the threat of the Poison Dragon. Just these poisonous snakes and poisonous ants were already beyond the ability of ordinary people to deal with, not to mention that he was an ancient martial artist in the Black Realm. If he escaped, the consequences would be unimaginable. He searched carefully around the temple, but found no trace of the baby girl. Could she be hiding somewhere else? Xu Qing pondered and decided to think of a way to restrain the Poison Dragon first.
While strolling around the temple, Xu Qing suddenly found a small object-a silver hand ring. He immediately picked it up excitedly. Seeing this scene, Poison Dragon, who was disguised as a beggar, changed his expression and immediately went forward to snatch the silver ring. He said coldly,"This is mine."
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then he retorted loudly," It fell from the sky, and it was picked up from the ground. I saw it first and it was mine!" The beggar glared fiercely at Xu Qing and hid the silver ring in his hand into his chest." Get lost. If you don't get lost, I'll beat you to death." It seemed that he only wanted to scare this peasant youth away and did not really want to cause trouble.
Xu Qing shouted angrily," You beggar, you are shameless. You ate my sweet potato and still stole something. If you dare to lay a finger on me today, believe it or not, I will slap you to death." He bent over and grabbed a brick, staring at the dragon like a cockfighting cock. At that moment, there is no hand over things to let you taste the ruthless face, poison dragon was thoroughly angered. He raised his palm and slapped Xu Qing's face with lightning speed. Ordinary people would definitely be beaten black and blue by this force.
However, Xu Qing was calm and composed. He had long anticipated the Poison Dragon's attack, and his 18 drops allowed him to attack first. Just as Poison Dragon's palm was about to hit his face, Xu Qing tilted his head and grabbed Poison Dragon's wrist with one hand. His other hand raised the brick and slapped the back of Poison Dragon's head fiercely. Just as Poison Dragon had a bad feeling in his heart, Xu Qing's brick hit the back of his head.
"Boom! "With a loud bang, the brick shattered into slag, and the poisonous dragon's head roared, but his reaction was extremely fast. He immediately raised his knee and slammed into Xu Qing's crotch. Xu Qing was already on guard and easily retreated. His palms, which had been accumulating for a long time, struck out in the air, and two vigorous and fierce Zhengyang Qi blasted towards the Poison Dragon's chest.
Poison Dragon, who had been hit by Xu Qing's black brick, could not avoid this attack no matter how fast he was. After receiving two palm strikes on his chest, he was sent flying with a strange cry. With a loud bang, he crashed into the temple wall. Half of the wall actually collapsed with a loud bang, stirring up dust and dust in the sky.
Xu Qing, who was fighting with an ancient martial artist in the Black Realm for the first time, was extremely nervous. However, he knew that he could not give the Poison Dragon the opportunity to release those poisonous ants and snakes. He didn't wait for the Poison Dragon to climb up. He raised his palms continuously and struck out seven forms of Zhengyang Palm continuously."Bang bang..." Waves of scorching positive Yang Qi violently bombarded the Poison Dragon. There was only one thought in his mind: he must not let this guy have the opportunity to release those poisons!
Poor Poison Dragon. Although he was an ancient martial art practitioner in the Black Realm, he had not had time to use many killer moves before he was hit by Xu Qing's Zhengyang Palm. He used his last ounce of strength to pull open his shirt, then tilted his head and fainted.
Xu Qing's mind gradually calmed down after dozens of palm strikes. He looked at the poisonous dragon buried in the broken bricks and found that it had no movement at all. Xu Qing's palm had broken his leg, revealing his pale bones, leaving only a thin layer of flesh. In the red pool of blood, a figure fell to the ground, surrounded by the aura of death. Xu Qing took a deep breath, carefully pulled out his dagger, and slowly approached. He knew that even if the other party did not die immediately, he was not far from death.
Xu Qing did not dare to let his guard down when facing an enemy who was good at poison. He was constantly alert to the movements around him, afraid that he would be attacked by the other party if he was not careful. When he was less than a meter away from where the Poison Dragon fell, a sharp cry broke the silence. Then, a gray object jumped out from the broken bricks and went straight for Xu Qing's face.
Xu Qing reacted quickly. He swung his sword at the incoming hidden weapon while tilting his head to the left. Under the slash of the sword, the cluster of objects instantly changed direction and landed behind him with a thud. It sounded like a plastic bag full of water had been smashed, and it was creepy.
Xu Qing didn't let his guard down. He continued to observe the movements around him. At the same time, he was secretly glad that his reaction was fast enough. He knew that in this life-and-death battle, any moment of carelessness could mean death.
