Chapter 113: The Punishment of Heaven and Water!
Lanyou suddenly raised her head as if she had heard a sound, and was shocked to find that a huge tongue was rapidly rushing towards her. As a girl, she was extremely afraid of snakes and other creatures like them, and this snake was unusually large. Lanyou was so startled that she forgot to dodge!
The snake head was about to collide with Lan You Ruo's body, He Lian Nu wanted to use his soul technique to rescue her but it was too late. In a state of urgency, he leaped forward and barely managed to block the collision between the snake head and Lan You Ruo at the last moment!
Boom! Helianuo and Lanyou were both blown away by the massive force, flying tens of meters away. In mid-air, Helianuo gritted his teeth against the pain in his chest, hugged Lanyou tightly to him, then twisted his waist with great force, turning his back towards the ground just before they landed!
With a loud crash, Helian and Lanyu heavily fell onto a huge hard rock. Thanks to Helian being at the bottom to buffer the impact, Lanyu didn't get hurt much, but Helian was smashed until his mouth and nose were bleeding, both arms and back were scraped until they were covered in blood, almost fainting!
"Quickly! Take Heli away from there!", Mo Fei shouted loudly, the long knife in his hand swung out with force and was fiercely nailed onto the body of the giant snake. The snake, in pain, abandoned Heli and turned its body to charge towards Mo Fei's direction.
Lan Youyu struggled to hold back her tears, and with great difficulty, she hoisted Helian Nuo's left arm onto her shoulder, step by step moving him behind a massive boulder. Given Helian Nuo's current state, it seemed unlikely he would be able to play any further role in this battle!
"Young Master Yu, now we can... part ways, right?" Helianno's mouth was smeared with blood, and he forced out a smile. Although his chest injury was not light, his heart suddenly felt lighter. No matter what, he had finally done something for Lan Youyu, which alleviated some of the guilt in his heart.
"Two of your ribs are broken, don't talk too much!" Lan You Ruo scolded in a soft voice, her tone as cold as ever, but with an undertone of concern that was different from usual. She carefully opened Helian No's shirt and began to help him set his broken bones, displaying impressive medical skills despite her timid nature. Before long, she had treated the injuries on Helian No's chest and even properly bandaged several deeper gashes on his body.
"It's not coming out, you actually have such a good medical skill! Unfortunately, Jiubao is not here, otherwise this injury can be restored quickly!", He Lianuo praised Lan Yourou's injury while secretly blaming himself for not bringing Xuan Gui with him.
"My family has been practicing medicine for generations, and although many advanced techniques have been lost by my generation, I can still handle these simple injuries. The nine treasures are the name of that little turtle, aren't they? Speaking of it reminds me of Ball Ball, next time I go out, I must bring it with me! Perhaps because Helianuo saved her life, Lanyou's words unknowingly increased, she covered Helianuo's clothes and stood up, pulled out the soft whip from her waist, and walked out in big strides."
"Hey, where are you going?" Helianuo struggled to get up, but this movement pulled on the wound in front of his chest. He let out a low groan and fell back down, gritting his teeth.
"I'll go help Fei Bai and Big Brother. Since that beast wanted our lives just now, I'll take his life! Lan You Ruo's soft whip flashed in the air, then swiftly dashed towards the battlefield."
Just as the two were talking, He Lianchu and Mo Feibai had already joined forces with the giant snake. The snake, relying on its massive body, occasionally picked up some huge rocks to attack the duo. He Lianchu was still doing alright, but Mo Feibai's cultivation was ultimately insufficient, and he was starting to show signs of fatigue from dodging and weaving!
"Water Imprisonment!", Lan Yu's slender figure swung her long whip, and a dome-shaped water prison instantly encircled the giant snake. The snake charged left and right, colliding with the water prison, which shook violently but ultimately could not escape.
Once the giant snake was subdued, Mo Fei Bai finally had a chance to counterattack. With his long knife still stuck in the snake's back, he drew another short knife from his waist and drew several complex patterns in the air before swinging it at the snake. Instantly, a massive whirlwind composed of countless small whirlwinds appeared within the water prison, tightly wrapping around the giant snake!
Ryūfūjin! The technique that Mokuren Hakuto was displaying was indeed his only mastered Earth-tier soul skill, Ryūfūjin. It was this very Ryūfūjin that had strangled the giant ape to death in their previous battle. Today, he was using it once again, but he didn't know what kind of effect it would have.
A giant snake in the whirlwind wailed and struggled, causing the entire rocky hill to shake violently with its intense rolling. Some of the already loose boulders were shaken off and rolled down, raising clouds of dust!
"Did it work?" Mo Fei Bai clenched his fists tightly, still extremely confident in this Wind Blade technique. Due to its enormous attack power and bloodiness, Mo Fei Bai rarely used it normally, but unexpectedly, he had cast it twice in a row on this nameless island.
The whirlwind of the Flowing Wind Slash gradually slowed down its rotating speed, until it finally disappeared. Mo Fei Bai was shocked to find that the giant snake, although its scales were almost completely stripped off, did not die immediately, but instead pounced towards him with a ferocious and malevolent aura!
"This is probably a giant python of the Cangyan species, although its attack power is not strong, but its defense power is almost enough to rank first among all fifth-grade soul beasts. However, now that its most terrifying defensive scales have been destroyed, it should be much easier to kill it. He Liancheng lightly kicked a huge rock onto the snake's head, preventing it from continuing to attack Mo Feibai, who finally woke up from his shock and rushed to the snake's side with a short knife, waiting for an opportunity to attack."
It's actually the case that up until now, He Liancheng has never exerted his true strength, and this is also intentional on his part. If it were any other time, he would have probably gone off to hunt a fifth-grade soul beast by himself and returned with the spoils. But who let his younger brother be in this team? He Liancheng may not be a fierce warrior, but when it comes to having a long-term vision, intelligence, and strategic planning, there are hardly anyone in the entire Tian Shuang Empire who can compare to him, which is also why he's known as the "He Lian Fox". After the third test question was announced, he already realized that this task would be extremely easy for him, who had already advanced to the Soul Master level. However, it was an excellent training opportunity for He Lian Nuo. Since entering the Nameless Island, He Liancheng had made up his mind to let the other three youngsters in the team take the lead in battle, and he would absolutely not intervene unless absolutely necessary. At most, he would use 70% of his strength to lend a hand. This was also one of the reasons why this team, which had a Soul Master-level expert, found themselves struggling extremely hard in combat.
He Lian didn't make a move, Mo Fei gritted his teeth and swung his short knife to create a Wind Wall, blocking the giant snake for a moment. Meanwhile, Lan You took advantage of the opportunity to throw out another Water Seal, trapping the giant snake once again.
Mo Fei's soul power had been completely depleted after using the Earth Stage Soul Technique once before, and he couldn't move temporarily. He gritted his teeth and with great difficulty gathered his soul power on the short knife!
"Hey, you step aside this time, I'll take care of it!" Mo Fei Bai made a gesture to use his soul technique, but Lan You Rou suddenly spoke out to stop him. He was taken aback for a moment, then put away his short knife and retreated behind a huge boulder.
When Mo Fei Bai retreated to a safe area, Lan You Rou closed her eyes and began to form complex hand seals one after another. Soon, her soft whip was wrapped in a faint blue glow, and the water-based soul power in the air converged violently towards Lan You Rou's body. Her long hair hanging down to her waist turned into a watery blue color, and her overall aura surged greatly in an instant.
"Heaven's Water Punishment!", Lan You suddenly opened her eyes, the long whip in her hand slowly waving in mid-air, and in front of her, a long arrow condensed from water-based soul power slowly took shape, becoming more and more substantial!
It seems to have felt a strong threat, the giant snake that was tightly controlled by the water seal struggled even more violently, and the water prison was about to be broken through by its desperate counterattack!
"Kill!", Lan You shouted loudly, the water arrow aimed at the direction of the big snake in mid-air, shot past like lightning, the big snake hissed and tried to dodge, but the water arrow still pierced its head, pinning it firmly to the ground!
"Boom!", Lan You Ruo's hands suddenly merged, the originally condensed water arrow suddenly exploded, with a deafening roar, within a hundred meters of the giant stone around the giant snake's body, instantly turned into powder!
"This... should be the Tianyi Lan clan's inherited earth rank soul technique, Heavenly Water Punishment?!", He Liancheng retreated far away and licked his tongue, also an earth rank soul technique, He Lianuo had not yet mastered the Moon Slashing Whirlwind that could defeat even a five-rank soul beast, Mo Feibai's Flowing Wind Slash could turn a five-rank soul beast into minced meat, while Lan You's Heavenly Water Punishment could flatten an area of over 100 meters in an instant!
The difference between the three lies in the fact that Lan You's Tian Shui's Punishment is the top-notch bloodline secret technique among the Earth Stage Soul Techniques. What is meant by bloodline secret technique is that only those with a specific bloodline can exert the maximum power of the soul technique. Similarly, if someone outside the direct line of the Lan family were to use Tian Shui's Punishment, its power would definitely be discounted by more than one fold!
Until the giant snake was blown into powder, Lan You Ruo smiled slightly and immediately turned pale and fell to the ground. The power of Tian Shui's outfit was indeed astonishing, and the consumption of soul power was equally terrifying! At this moment, there is not a single bit of soul power left in Lan You Ruo's body!
"He Lian, I've done what I said I would!", and with that, He Lian was supported by Mo Fei as he walked in front of him. Lan You smiled brightly for a moment before closing his eyes heavily.
