"Save all beings, let the eight treasures ring!" Seeing the snake's movements, JIETOU became anxious and sat cross-legged on the ground. He clasped his hands together and recited mantras while using all of the remaining eight treasure artifacts in his backpack. It was obvious that JIETOU wanted to fight with the snake. He was a person who refused to lose, especially now when he was dealing with a half-dead monster snake. He didn't want to embarrass himself and wanted to prove himself.
In my opinion, he didn't need to be so extreme because being able to use all of the Buddhist Eight Treasures at once was already a good proof of his progress. When we left Shuhe County, the old nun said that he lacked strength and couldn't use these treasures properly. But now it had only been half a month since then and not only could he use them but also control them simultaneously which showed how fast JIETOU had progressed in cultivation.
"Vajra Subdues Demons!" With a cold shout, JIETOU controlled Vajra Knots towards an area on the middle section of the snake's body where blood hadn't covered yet.
"Chi-Ding Ling-Ling-" The Vajra Knot flew out accurately hitting its target but due to rebound from scales it did not cause much damage except for scraping off some scales.
"Victory Banner Dance!" Immediately after retracting Vajra Knots, JIETOU followed up by controlling Victory Banners attacking at same position as before.
At this point I roughly understood what JIETOU intended; concentrating attacks on one spot trying open up a gap in that part of snakes' body so even if he couldn't kill it outrightly still can prove his strength without losing face.
However, I also noticed something else: although JIETOU could use all of the Buddhist Eight Treasures at once, when it came to launching attacks he still had to swing them one by one. This indicated that his strength was still in its most basic stage and if not so, he wouldn't have been so conservative with time and weapons.
Thinking about this made me worry for JIETOU because YinYunShan could only control two magic treasures simultaneously despite relying on a century-old cultivation base from the meat puppet Buddha. It showed that controlling these eight treasures required extremely profound power. I wondered how long it would take for JIETOU to freely control all eight treasures.
"Treasure Vase Heavy Strike!" While I was thinking about this, JIETOU's eyes widened as he clenched his teeth and entered into a frenzy state. Under his control, the Buddhist Eight Treasures flew around like lightning bolts constantly attacking the snake's body.
Under such a continuous attack, even if the snake's body was extremely tough, it couldn't hold on any longer. Eventually, its scales fell off and its skin split open, leaving behind a bloody wound that oozed out thick blood.
As soon as the blood came out, it immediately stuck to the diamond knot that JIETOU had shot over.
Seeing this situation, JIETOU couldn't help but turn red with anger and wave his arms in frustration. He threw all of his remaining treasures at the big snake one after another.
At this point, most of the snake's body was covered in blood so when these treasures were thrown at it they mostly got stuck on its body. This made it look like there were flowers blooming all over its body due to the shining golden light from them.
"Hiss...Roar!" After sucking up all of JIETOU's Buddhist treasures, the snake finally completed its evolution. Its entire body wriggled with blood and transformed into a completely bloody intestine fly.
"It's your turn now! I can no longer deal with this beast!" At this point, JIETOU could only stand up helplessly and clap his hands before stepping aside.
"Heheh don't worry; I'll help you get those treasures back without causing any damage," seeing this situation I smiled slightly while holding onto my Ganjiang sword and walked towards the cave entrance.
"Roar!" Another strange cry sounded out as if that bloody intestine fly thought that it had already become invincible after completing its transformation. It twisted around while moving through liquid blood then rushed out from inside of the cave opening towards me with an open mouth ready to bite me!
"We should step back!" Seeing this situation Chiqing Shuai quickly pulled Jietou and Xie Yilin backwards giving me space to face off against that bloody intestine fly alone.
"Come on let me see how powerful you really are!" I dodged the snake's bite and my Ganjiang sword flashed with golden light as I slashed it towards the snake's body.
"Chirp..." A soft sound was heard as the blade fell down. Then, suddenly, my hand felt weak like cutting through a ball of cotton. The blade not only failed to hurt it but almost got stuck in its sticky blood.
My heart sank and I didn't dare to be careless. I quickly pulled back my sword with force and saw that there was already blood all over it which made the edge of the blade blurry. This caused my sword to lose its sharpness instantly.
"Not bad, this snake is quite clever," seeing this situation, I smiled slightly then flew up into the air without getting too close to that bloody intestine fly. Instead, I used my sword energy to attack it from afar.
However, what made me feel helpless was that the blood on the snake's body seemed to sense danger. So every time I released a sword qi, if the target was aimed at the tail of the snake, its blood would instantly rush to the position of its tail and block my sword qi forcefully. If it was aimed at its midsection, those blood cells would also rush to its middle section in an instant, forming a small red bump that blocked all of my sword qi.
As a result, my situation became awkward. Despite having a precious sword in hand and great strength, I couldn't do anything against this beast. Not only that but I was also being swept up and down by its thick tail which left me quite embarrassed.
At this point, I frowned and looked coldly at that monstrous creature. Unable to resist any longer, I prepared to use my merciful sword technique and give it a quick death blow.
However, just as I thought about doing so, I saw that big mouth of the snake open wide and spit out something into thin air towards me.
"It's venom again! Damn it! This move doesn't work on me anymore; don't you know?" Seeing what the snake did next made me sneer while feeling too confident inside myself. As such,I didn't even try dodging away from that filthy thing.
With a muffled sound "bang,"a sticky substance with an unpleasant smell hit me making me feel nauseous.When looking down,I found some kind of oily bloody fluid sticking onto my clothes.It may not have been harmful,but it certainly disgusted people nonetheless.
