Chapter 119: Snake Po Appears, Tang San Defeated

The Cockscomb Phoenix Snake was captured, and Oscar, holding a dagger, prepared to go over and finish it off once and for all.

"Wait!"

Just at this moment, an elderly female voice rang out. Hearing this, Nan Feihuang knew that the people who were supposed to come could not be avoided after all.

However, that was none of his business; he would just treat it as watching a play.

Immediately following, two figures darted out from the woods, one old and one young, both female.

The older one looked to be sixty or seventy years old, her white hair combed extremely neatly. Although she was not young, she was radiant, clearly possessing an extraordinary level of cultivation.

She held a three-meter-long snake-headed staff in her hand. As she walked toward the group step by step, her Spirit Rings circled and rotated around it: two yellow, three purple, and one black. This person was a Soul Emperor of over level sixty.

The Spirit Rings pulsed, yet her body underwent no changes, indicating that the old woman's martial soul was the snake staff in her hand.

Beside her was a young girl, about sixteen years old. A purple tight-fitting outfit wrapped around her moving, delicate body. The girl was extremely beautiful; even compared to the three beauties of Shrek, Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, and the others, she was only a notch behind.

She also held a snake staff, only slightly shorter, around two meters, and on her body were only two yellow hundred-year Spirit Rings.

Long Gong Meng Shu was a Spirit Douluo with extremely strong power, and he could use a Spirit Fusion Skill with Chao Tianxiang, which no one below a Title Douluo could resist. Once Meng Shu appeared, he would definitely be no match for this couple, and Qin Ming, a Soul Emperor, would not be able to help him much either.

Chao Tianxiang's expression flickered slightly, "I was wondering where such a young Spirit Saint came from; so it is the Immovable Bright King, famous in the Spirit Master world."

Seeing the seven Spirit Rings pulsing on Zhao Wuji, and that it was the optimal Spirit Ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, and three black, the old woman's heart sank. She had not expected that there would actually be a Spirit Saint here. With her husband not yet arrived, she feared it would be very difficult to get this Cockscomb Phoenix Snake back today.

"Hmph, six Spirit Rings!" Zhao Wuji smiled disdainfully and immediately activated his martial soul, displaying seven Spirit Rings before the grandmother and granddaughter.

"Chao Tianxiang!" Hearing this name, Zhao Wuji reined in his initial disdain and thought to himself, "It is actually the Snake Po of the Covering World Dragon Snake. She is easy enough to deal with, but the Covering World Dragon Snake couple is always inseparable. Since she is here, Long Gong Meng Shu must also be nearby."

Needless to say, their combination was exactly the Snake Po Chao Tianxiang and her granddaughter Meng Yiran from the original story.

However, she still had to try; perhaps the other party would give her some face. After all, the Covering World Dragon Snake was also a renowned combination on this continent.

"Old woman Chao Tianxiang, greetings, respected Spirit Saint. You cannot give the Cockscomb Phoenix Snake to that child."

Zhao Wuji looked only about forty years old; reaching the rank of Spirit Saint at this age was indeed considered young.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wuji, very rarely, said politely, "So it is the senior Snake Po in person. I am Zhao Wuji!"

Chao Tianxiang offered compliments with her mouth, but her heart grew increasingly anxious. The Immovable Bright King did things entirely according to his own whims and dared to offend even the Spirit Hall; would he really be afraid of their Dragon Snake Family? Without Long Gong present, she feared the Spirit Ring of this Cockscomb Phoenix Snake would truly fly away.

"I dare not accept such praise, it is merely a notorious reputation!" Zhao Wuji laughed, "I have long since stopped roaming the Spirit Master world. I am now living in seclusion at an academy teaching. This time, coming to the Star Dou Great Forest is precisely to hunt for the third Spirit Ring for my student, and this thousand-year Cockscomb Phoenix Snake happens to be suitable for one of them."

Chao Tianxiang frowned, "You mean to say you have a student who has reached level thirty? Is it one of these children?"

There were two groups of children before her, standing clearly separated. With her keen eyes, she could naturally see that the ones Zhao Wuji brought were the younger batch, and among these children, the oldest, Dai Mubai, was about the same age as her granddaughter Meng Yiran, while the younger ones were only eleven or twelve. But what was unexpected was that someone among them had actually broken through to level thirty?

"Hmph, even if this Cockscomb Phoenix Snake is suitable for your student, so what? We discovered it and started hunting it first. Hurry up and return it to me." Meng Yiran was a bit anxious. It was rare to see such a good Spirit Ring; its age and attributes were so compatible with her that she could not possibly give it up.

The importance of level thirty was self-evident; a suitable third Spirit Ring had a huge impact on future achievements.

"You say this Spirit Beast was hunted by you first, what evidence do you have?" Oscar, who also valued this Spirit Ring, immediately questioned.

"Hehe, young man, don't be anxious. Look at the snake's abdomen; are there not several wounds? Those were caused by my staff. If it weren't for its first-class ability to flee for its life, it would have died at my hands long ago." Chao Tianxiang pointed to the snake's abdomen, where there were indeed several scars, and every one of them was fatal.

This proved that what Chao Tianxiang said was not false, so their demand for this Spirit Beast could be considered reasonable.

Neither side would give way, and the final decision was the same as in the original story: Tang San would fight Meng Yiran on behalf of Oscar, and the winner would get the Spirit Ring.

In terms of soul power, Meng Yiran, who had already reached level thirty, had a slight edge, but in terms of practical combat ability, Tang San, who had mastered many Tang Sect techniques, could suppress Meng Yiran.

Seeing that she could not compare to Tang San in technique, Meng Yiran took the initiative to turn the battle into a contest of soul power. Tang San, who had been at a disadvantage from the start, relied on the special nature of the Mysterious Heaven Skill—a Daoist martial art that was endless and self-perpetuating—to recover his soul power at a very fast speed, gradually beginning to counter Meng Yiran.

Nan Feihuang had secretly activated the Ghost Eye ability of his External Spirit Bone to observe the flow of Tang San's soul power.

"This method of internal energy circulation is indeed a Daoist martial art. I really don't know where the Tang Sect obtained a Daoist cultivation method." Nan Feihuang did not believe the Mysterious Heaven Skill was created by the Tang Sect; after all, the Tang Sect's martial arts path and style of conduct were completely incompatible with the Daoist school.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill was not as good as the internal cultivation method of the Dunjia Heavenly Book. Being of the same Daoist origin, Nan Feihuang quickly figured out the details of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

He also knew the characteristics of this cultivation method: it was indeed upright, peaceful, and endless, capable of self-generating internal energy during battle.

When the cultivation levels were not significantly different, competing in internal energy with someone practicing the Mysterious Heaven Skill was truly not feasible.

He estimated that in less than a minute, Meng Yiran would be defeated.

Yet at this very moment, Nan Feihuang discovered something wrong. Inside Tang San's body, a strand of green True Qi had inexplicably appeared and was coursing through, actually obstructing the operation of Tang San's power.

"Ugh, ah..."

The next moment, Tang San let out a miserable cry and was blasted away by Meng Yiran.

Meng Yiran triumphantly retracted her martial soul and said disdainfully, "Hmph, a mere Blue Silver Grass martial soul, yet you dared to overestimate yourself and challenge me. This is the outcome."

The Snake Po also looked at Zhao Wuji triumphantly, "Hehe, Immovable Bright King, the winner has been decided. You have nothing more to say, right?"
