He saw the Ba Snake roaring and rushing toward Yu Zaoyun. Seeing that he had rescued the Hua Snake but was about to be trapped, Li Jinglong loudly shouted, "Listen to my command, get down!"
In a short moment, Li Jinglong realized that the Demon Binding Rope's mana could resonate with the Demon Subduing Pestle. He immediately jumped down with Hongjun and rushed in front of the Ba Snake.
"Bind its mouth!" Li Jinglong roared.
Hongjun flung the Demon Binding Rope away. The Ba Snake abandoned Yu Zaoyun and pounced towards the two. Li Jinglong raised his Mind's Lamp and pushed its light to the maximum. The Ba Snake's eyes were illuminated by the strong light, and it immediately raised its head and roared. Hongjun had been waiting for this moment. He immediately put away the Demon Binding Rope that filled the sky.
The Demon Binding Rope tightened around the Ba Snake's head and continued to tighten.
Snakes, crocodiles, lizards, and other reptiles have a bite force of more than a thousand catties, but when they open their mouths, they are not strong enough. In the past, when Li Jinglong was training his troops in the wild, he practiced how to pinch a snake's head, so that he would not be injured by a poisonous snake. After last night's failure, he had seriously thought about it. Now, it was working. The Ba Snake was bound by the Demon Binding Rope and was unable to open its mouth. It could only roll around madly, causing the cave to emit loud noises as it crashed everywhere.
Hongjun's four flying daggers combined into one. Li Jinglong shouted, "Nail its tail!"
Li Jinglong didn't want to kill this thousand-year-old spiritual creature. He only wanted to temporarily trap it. The Ba Snake rushed towards Hongjun. Li Jinglong flew up and used his Mind's Lantern to protect Hongjun. The Ba Snake's eyes were dazzled, and its body brushed past the two of them before crashing into the cave wall!
Hongjun's flying daggers converged and channeled his magic power. The bright red light from his entire body poured into the Mo Sword. Holding the Mo Sword diagonally, Li Jinglong retreated. Hongjun faced the snake's body and swept the Mo Sword —
— — -a blurry figure of a person suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Kong Xuan?"
Hongjun was startled. Li Jinglong immediately realized the danger and roared, "Restrain it first!"
The moment Hongjun swung his saber, the figure suddenly appeared in front of him and pressed his palm against Hongjun's forehead. The moment they touched, Hongjun suddenly understood this person's identity: Ba Snake's Primordial Spirit!
Li Jinglong did not have time to drink anymore. He raised his Mind Lantern and shot a strong light at Hongjun.
The Mind's Lamp had little effect in collecting demons and fighting demons. Unless it was a demon that had been corrupted by the Devil Qi, it would not be of much use. However, once the opponent appeared in the form of a Primordial Spirit or a ghost without a physical body, the Mind's Lamp was the nemesis of all spiritual bodies!
Hongjun was instantly filled with a sea of images. Jia Yuze's face was filled with grief as he guarded the Ba Snake's Primordial Spirit. Then, Li Jinglong blasted the Ba Snake's Primordial Spirit away from Hongjun.
Hongjun subconsciously raised his Mo Saber, but it was too late. The Ba Snake fought for a moment to catch its breath. Its snake body lashed out and knocked Hongjun into the air. Then, the snake's body twisted and the Mo Saber flew away, nailing it to the ground. Li Jinglong rolled and was about to pick up the Mo Saber when the Ba Snake's thick body swept in all directions, knocking the Mo Saber even further away. Then, Hongjun wanted to fly away to save Li Jinglong, but he felt that the giant black snake's body was coming from all directions, surrounding him and twisting him!
Li Jinglong was pressed down by the Ba Snake's body. Hongjun stretched out a hand from behind. The sky and the ground were filled with the Ba Snake's body. In an instant, the two of them were entangled together!
Hongjun said, "I see …"
Li Jinglong said, "Let's think of a way to escape first!"
Li Jinglong knew that the giant python was extremely difficult to deal with. Once entangled, it would be difficult to escape. However, it was already too late. The two of them were firmly entangled together by the Ba Snake. They were back to back and couldn't move. Hongjun raised his hand several times, but he couldn't use the Five-colored Divine Light.
Li Jinglong: "…"
Hongjun: "…"
The Ba Snake's body tightened more and more. The snake's head turned towards the two of them. Its ice-cold body was like an iron wall, pressing down on their chests. Hongjun couldn't help but gasp for breath, but there was a sharp pain in his chest. Li Jinglong bent his fingers and wrote a few words on Hong Jun's leg with the back of his hand.
"Lure its primordial spirit out."
How? Hongjun's ribs were in severe pain from being tied up. He had to use the Five-colored Divine Light to drag the Mo Saber back. The Ba Snake's head was still bound by the Demon Binding Rope. It didn't open its mouth, but it made a sound.
"Are you looking for this?"
Immediately after, the Jasper Peacock Plume slowly rose, emitting a gentle light. The Ba Snake's eyes were fixed on Hongjun. Its pupils, which were as big as a house, narrowed into slits, shooting out a sharp light.
Li Jinglong gently patted Hongjun's leg. Hongjun suddenly calmed down. He felt that the Ba Snake seemed to have something to say.
"I know you." Hongjun said, "Ba Snake."
Li Jinglong secretly praised Hongjun in his heart. It was obvious that Hongjun was getting smarter and smarter.
"Kong Xuan's vile spawn." The Ba Snake looked at Hongjun with pity. It said in a low voice, "If you looked like Yaoji, I might have spared your life today. But you're a devil fetus … Where did the devil seed in your body go?"
Li Jinglong's heart thumped. He didn't know how the Ba Snake saw through Hongjun's identity. He guessed that the Yao Clan had a special way of identifying. He had heard about Yaoji's past from Qiu Qiu in Hangzhou, but Hongjun didn't know!
Sure enough, Hongjun's face was full of confusion. He asked, "Who is Yaoji?"
The Ba Snake turned its head and sized up Li Jinglong and Hongjun. The two were firmly bound and couldn't move. Li Jinglong said in a low voice, "Yaoji is your mother."
"How do you know?" Hongjun was shocked. At this moment, compared to the predicament, what happened in the past attracted his attention more. For a moment, he forgot that he was in danger.
Li Jinglong said calmly, "Qiu Qiu told me."
"How did he know about my parents?!"
"Now is not the time to talk about this …"
"You've been hiding it from me?!"
"Shut up!" The Ba Snake said angrily. The result of being ignored aroused its anger. It tightened its body even more. Hongjun felt that his ribs were about to be pressed into his lungs. He struggled painfully. The Ba Snake said again, "This face, this appearance, Mahamayuri … It's you … who took Yaoji away …"
Hongjun suddenly opened his eyes wide. He said, "You …"
He remembered the scene he saw when he was hit by the Ba Snake's Primordial Spirit. It was his mother who was accompanying this giant snake.
"You …" Hongjun said with a trembling voice.
"That's right." The Ba Snake's eyes were full of hatred. It said slowly, "I gave up the chance to transform into a dragon. It's been three thousand years. Three thousand years, just to protect your mother, Yaoji left me just like that and went to reincarnate. When she was pregnant with the devil fetus, your mother still had the face to bring your father back and ask me for help … "
In an instant, all the causes and effects appeared and became clear. Li Jinglong deduced the clues in an instant. He said in a low voice, "This is not fair, Ba Snake. After Yaoji reincarnated, she might not remember the things of her previous life!"
"You …" Hongjun said with a trembling voice, "Have you waited for her for a long time?"
"I thought she would come back one day," the Ba Snake said slowly. "Bastard, bastard!"
Li Jinglong suddenly poked Hongjun with his finger and quickly wrote "master". Hongjun instantly became clear. He didn't know why, but he understood Li Jinglong's complicated meaning. He frowned and said, "When my mother was alive, she mentioned that she had a master …"
When the Ba Snake heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
"She mentioned me?" The Ba Snake's voice trembled slightly.
Hongjun looked at the Ba Snake and suddenly felt a strong sense of sympathy. However, he and Li Jinglong were in danger. If they didn't get out of danger as soon as possible, the Ba Snake wouldn't let them go.
"Yes." Hongjun braced himself and said, "It was … a … middle-aged man."
At that moment, the cave wall in the distance lit up. Li Jinglong glanced over and saw Qiu Yongsi on the high platform with a mirror in his hand. He reflected the sunlight from outside the cave and shone it in their direction. Coincidentally, he was right behind the Ba Snake.
Once the helper arrived, Li Jinglong immediately had an idea of what to do. Ba She's gaze changed slightly, and his head shone faintly. His Primordial Spirit left his body and turned into a young assassin with a slender body clad in scaled armor.
Hongjun: "…"
The young assassin's face was filled with hostility. He stared at Hongjun and raised his hand. His hand glowed faintly, and a snake tooth dagger appeared. He said in a low voice, "What did she say about me?"
Li Jinglong originally wanted to listen to a few more words, but he knew that Hongjun was never good at lying. This Ba Snake obviously wanted to kill them and wouldn't let them live for the New Year. Once he got what he wanted to know, he would immediately kill them. The opportunity couldn't be missed. He immediately activated the power of the Mind Lamp.
There was only one chance. The moment Li Jinglong used all his strength, the Mind Lamp suddenly exploded and formed a turbulent flow. Even he didn't realize that the effect of the explosion was so strong. Hongjun only saw a white light in front of his eyes, and he was almost blinded.
Immediately after, Li Jinglong's Primordial Spirit left his body for a short time. The Primordial Spirit condensed by the Mind Lamp fiercely crashed into the young assassin that the Ba Snake had transformed into. Time seemed to have stopped. The white light flickered, and Li Jinglong's three souls and seven spirits left his body. His three souls and seven spirits left his body, and with an afterimage, he exchanged blows with the blood-red assassin that the Ba Snake had transformed into.
The young assassin suddenly roared and decisively retreated. However, Li Jinglong's Primordial Spirit had already raised a hand and grabbed his throat, forcefully restraining the Ba Snake's Primordial Spirit. The Ba Snake's Primordial Spirit was restrained, and his body instantly reacted. The Ba Snake looked up to the sky and loosened its snake body. Its huge body fiercely struggled, and Hongjun was able to break free!
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Yongsi jumped down from a high place without making a sound. He shook out a stack of talismans in his hand!
"Take out the Mo Sword!" Li Jinglong shouted.
After Hongjun was able to break free, he immediately called back the Mo Sword. The Ba Snake rolled around, and its huge snake body swept past. Qiu Yongsi shouted, "Call back the Primordial Spirit! Stop fighting! "
Li Jinglong used the Mind Lamp to separate his three souls and seven spirits to fight against the Ba Snake's Primordial Spirit. It was no different from a ghost fighting against a ghost. Although the Ba Snake's Primordial Spirit was not a match for Li Jinglong's Primordial Spirit, it could directly injure Li Jinglong's soul. The cave was immediately in chaos. Hongjun held the Mo Sword with both hands and was still hesitating. Qiu Yongsi shouted angrily, "Hongjun! Attack! Everyone's lives are more important! "
In the Exorcism Division, other than Li Jinglong, the one who understood Hongjun the most was Qiu Yongsi. Sometimes, Qiu Yongsi's understanding of Hongjun was even higher than Li Jinglong's. When Qiu Yongsi heard the conversation from a high place, he knew that Hongjun would hesitate for a moment. However, the Ba Snake was really too strong. It was even stronger than all the evil flood dragons he had faced. Its strength was comparable to the dragon race, and it was full of malice towards everyone, especially the descendants of Kong Xuan. It wanted to kill them as soon as possible. If Hongjun held back, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Hong Jun finally stopped hesitating and swung his saber after receiving such a warning.
Li Jinglong withdrew his Primordial Spirit at the same time. Hongjun waved his Mo Sword. The Mo Sword swept past and cut open the scales on the side of the Ba Snake's body. Blood spurted out and filled the sky. The Ba Snake withdrew its Primordial Spirit and immediately turned around and rushed towards Hongjun. This cunning ancient demon snake had already determined who was the most dangerous one in a short time. Qiu Yongsi immediately shouted, "Be careful!"
Hongjun stood tall and waved his Mo Sword again. This time, the Mo Sword shot towards the Ba Snake and was about to cut it in half. Unexpectedly, the Ba Snake's head rushed towards them. Its tail swung towards the center of the formation and wrapped around the Demon Subduing Pestle. Its whole body emitted a strong blue light!
The moment the blue light exploded, Li Jinglong realized that the Ba Snake was absorbing the power of the formation. He immediately sensed that something was wrong and shouted, "Retreat!"
Hongjun waved his Mo Sword. However, the Ba Snake that was emitting blue light actually relied on the energy of the earth veins to forcefully block the Mo Sword! The Heaven and Earth Veins were the most ancient and primitive power in the world. There was a saying, "Heaven and Earth are the furnace, and Nature is the workmanship". All spells and divine weapons in the world would be forged into molten iron under the power of the earth veins. Hongjun had never met a monster that could withstand the power of the Mo Sword. Seeing the Ba Snake absorb the energy of the earth veins, a hurricane appeared on the ground and they were immediately blown away.
Qiu Yongsi, Li Jinglong, and Hongjun were hit by the Ba Snake's full power attack and they immediately fell to three different places. Hongjun's Qi and blood surged in his chest and he vomited a mouthful of blood. Li Jinglong's Mind Lantern was immediately canceled out and he forcefully gathered his Qi.
Qiu Yongsi had originally released the Flying Talismans and was waiting for them to stick to the Ba Snake's body. He wanted to teleport it out of thin air and throw it into the Dragon Subduing Pagoda. However, once the energy of the earth veins appeared, the Talismans were all burned up and his efforts were in vain.
Li Jinglong and Hongjun crashed into the stalagmites and fell to the ground. The Ba Snake rushed towards the two of them again. At this moment, the earth veins were madly being absorbed by the formation and then all of it was injected into the Ba Snake's body. The Ba Snake's body began to burn.
Li Jinglong finally understood the principle of this formation. The formation was pressed against the earth veins in order to extract the energy of the earth veins and burn the suppressed monster!
In order to resist the might of the Mo Sword, the Ba Snake actually ignored everything and forcefully drew the energy of the earth veins into its body. It braved the pain of the energy burning its body and primordial spirit, wanting to perish together with them!
Under the flow of the energy, the formation began to rotate. As if it sensed the danger of this huge monster escaping, the stalagmites on the top of the cave fell one after another with a thunderous boom.
"Let's perish together!" The Ba Snake, which was glowing with blue light, roared, "Today, even if I'm burned to death, I'll still kill you!"
Hongjun and Li Jinglong were trapped behind the stalagmites. Hongjun's vision kept turning black. Previously, he had used all of his strength and used up all of his magic power. After a few hits, he couldn't muster up any strength.
"The cave is going to collapse!" Qiu Yongsi shouted, "What should we do!"
Li Jinglong's head was covered in blood. Under the agitation of the Ba Snake, the energy wreaked havoc everywhere. The stalagmites on the top of the cave broke one after another and crashed to the ground. Hongjun shouted loudly, "Rise!"
Then, the Five-colored Divine Light spread out and supported the top of the cave. Hongjun was forced to kneel down by the huge force. Li Jinglong roared, "Pull out the Demon Subduing Pestle!"
Qiu Yongsi turned around and ran towards the formation. The Ba Snake followed closely behind him. Li Jinglong, however, dodged and blocked Qiu Yongsi's back. His hands released a strong light and shone it into the Ba Snake's eyes. The Ba Snake's eyes blurred. It tilted its head and swept Li Jinglong away.
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Yongsi had rushed into the center of the formation and grabbed the Demon Subduing Pestle that was entangled by the snake's tail.
