Lying Low in the Martial World to Become a Saint-Chapter 155 - 110: Water Eye

"You’re courting death!"

Wu Yuanhua snorted coldly. Facing the enormous maw rushing toward him, he advanced instead of retreating!

BUZZZ!

With a flick of his wrist, his Long Sword let out a clear ring. Deep blue Gui Water True Qi instantly gathered, compressed, and spun around the blade, forming a high-speed, drilling Spiral Water Cone!

The sword tip, accompanied by a piercing sound of parting water, struck with unerring precision at the joint between the Black Python’s snout and lower jaw.

This was none other than the Gui Water Institute’s Thousand Layered Wave Sword Technique!

CHHSS—!

The flash of the sword was like lightning as the Gui Water True Qi erupted.

However, while the scales on the Black Python’s head weren’t as thick as its back armor, they were still exceptionally tough and slick.

When the sword tip struck, it produced a crisp clang, like metal striking metal, sending sparks flying!

Wu Yuanhua felt that most of the drilling force of his Gui Water True Qi had been deflected. It only left a deep gash on the scales, failing to truly break through its defense.

The intense pain thoroughly enraged the Black Python. It let out a low hiss and violently whipped its head. A terrifying Power, carrying a foul wind, propelled its massive jaw as it bit down ferociously, its momentum undiminished!

In that critical, split-second moment!

WHOOSH—!

A piercing whistle that tore through the air arrived after it started, yet struck first!

Chen Qing had made his move!

He hadn’t chosen to clash head-on with the Black Python. Instead, the moment Wu Yuanhua’s sword strike drew its attention, he seized the opportunity to target the python’s exposed vital spot—its "seventh inch."

The Cold Chiyi Spear transformed into a bolt of cyan lightning that tore through the darkness, infused with Chen Qing’s Cyan Wood True Qi.

The spear’s shaft was like a dragon, its tip like a Poison Fang. With unstoppable Momentum, it thrust viciously toward the exposed weak point.

SQUELCH—!

A muffled tearing sound rang out!

The spear tip precisely pierced the gap between the scales. Chen Qing fiercely twisted and pushed with both arms, causing the spear shaft to churn violently inside the Black Python’s body!

"HSSS!!!"

The Black Python let out a pained shriek!

Its massive body arched violently upward from the force of the fatal blow.

Chen Qing’s spear hadn’t just pierced the tough snakeskin; it had also churned and shredded the fragile bones and soft internal organs within.

Dark red, almost black, foul blood gushed from the wound like a fountain!

Having suffered such a grievous wound, the Black Python’s ferocity turned into the madness of a dying beast!

The agony made it lose all reason. Its body, as thick as a massive tree, suddenly twisted and swept toward the middle of the ship’s hull with overwhelming, cataclysmic force!

If that blow landed, it would be enough to smash the sturdy Water-Splitting Shuttle in two, sending everyone on board plunging into the water.

"Back the hell off!"

Song Ming was both shocked and enraged.

His body erupted with astonishing speed. He slammed his palms, which he had long since infused with Li Huo True Qi, onto the core of the paddle-rudder mechanism at the stern.

The paddle wheels on both sides of the Water-Splitting Shuttle’s stern let out a piercing metallic screech, then began to spin wildly in reverse at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

An immense thrust was generated instantly, causing the heavy bow to swerve sharply to the side as if pushed by a giant, invisible hand!

WHOOSH—!

The Black Python’s furious strike, carrying devastating Power, grazed past the stern. The resulting gust of wind was like a wave of cold blades.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Everyone circulated their True Qi to form a protective barrier in front of them. The blade-like wind hammered against their True Qi shields, creating a thunderous roar.

The rest of the gale slammed into the water’s surface as if underwater explosives had been detonated, kicking up turbid columns of water several dozen feet high. Icy spray rained down on the ship.

’A perfect chance.’

A cold glint flashed in Lin Wei’s eyes.

She had been waiting for this fleeting opportunity.

The very instant the Black Python’s body was fully extended from its missed, full-power strike, the Profound Water Snake on her arm shot out like a black bolt of lightning that had been coiling for ages.

Its target wasn’t the Black Python’s tough Scale Armor, but the massive wound in the middle of its body—the one inflicted by Chen Qing, which was still gushing foul blood!

Its ice-blue pupils locked onto the exposed flesh!

THUMP!

The snake’s long, slender, yet tough body bored deep into the Black Python’s body through the wound.

Immediately after, a bone-chilling cold, visible to the naked eye, rapidly spread out from the wound.

The Profound Water Snake’s cold venom, a potent poison capable of freezing blood and paralyzing nerves, was injected in an instant.

The Black Python’s massive body suddenly stiffened.

As the bone-chilling poison spread rapidly, the Black Python’s enormous body began to spasm and twitch uncontrollably.

"It can’t move! Finish it!"

Song Ming shouted as he stabilized the violently rocking hull.

He took a deep breath and raised his Long Sword high above his head. Deep blue Gui Water True Qi converged frantically like a boiling tide, and the very air around the blade seemed to be sucked dry, emitting a low hum!

A tangible, arcing wave of Sword Qi struck the vital "seventh inch" on the Black Python’s neck.

At the same time, Chen Qing’s spear pierced the Black Python’s right eye.

The spear’s shadow was so fast it left only a cold afterimage!

"HSSS!!!"

The Black Python let out an earth-shattering, agonized shriek!

Its massive body arched upward from the force of the fatal blow, and dark red, almost black, foul blood gushed from the wound like a fountain.

However, the Black Python’s Life Force was far beyond what they had imagined.

Its enormous body gave a violent twist. Abandoning its attack, it thrashed the obstructing water aside and plunged headfirst into the deeper, ink-black waters.

Its speed was astonishing, leaving only a trail of blood and a churning wake in the murky water!

"After it! Don’t let it get away!"

Song Ming ordered coldly.

The Treasure Ship had almost been destroyed by the Black Python. If they didn’t kill it today, it would be a huge loss.

Under Song Ming’s control, the Water-Splitting Shuttle cleaved through the ink-black water, latching onto the bloody waves ahead as it pursued the grievously wounded, fleeing Black Python.

"It’s diving into the depths of the Water Eye! Watch out for undercurrents!"

Lin Wei’s voice was grave as she focused intently on the vague sensations being transmitted by her Profound Water Snake.

The Profound Water Snake, coiled around her arm, writhed uneasily.
