Chapter 311: Green-Faced Poisonous Serpent

On this return journey, Qin Ming did not board the Beast King Valley's dharma boat.

Due to the beast tide and the ghost calamity, their dharma boats only set sail after very long intervals, and he could not wait that long.

Thus, Qin Ming mounted the Silver-Yin Yi Shuangfeng and flew back at extreme speed.

Half a month later, after a long and arduous journey, he arrived at the border region of the Liang Kingdom.

Qin Ming gazed down from the high skies.

Below, a scene of utter devastation met his eyes; countless cities, under the impact of demonic beasts and the ghost calamity, had fallen apart and turned into ghost cities.

One-third of the Liang Kingdom's territory had already been completely occupied by the beast tide and ghost entities, resembling a living hell on earth.

Qin Ming frowned as he observed for a while, then let out a sigh.

Afterwards.

He did not linger, immediately urging the Silver-Yin Yi Shuangfeng to accelerate, and continued flying toward the Wei Kingdom.

In the region of the Beast Cry Mountain Range near the Liang Kingdom.

Two figures stood suspended in mid-air.

One was a green-faced man with two horns growing from his head; his gaze was cold and sharp, and his entire body radiated an overwhelmingly domineering aura.

His whole body was covered in green scales, and below his waist trailed a serpent tail.

Not far beside him stood a palace-dressed woman who had fully transformed into human form, resembling a fairy from a painting, devoid of any mortal earthly presence.

"Silver Moon, now only your White Fox clan remains to declare its stance."

"Now that the human race's great momentum is lost, it will not be long before the entire Southern Wilds fall into the hands of our demonic race."

"Why then do you still hesitate?"

The Green-Faced Poisonous Serpent spoke in an icy tone.

"Heh! This palace has never been particularly interested in such matters; it is enough just to guard our Fox clan's small patch of land."

"We have no thoughts of expanding our territory or plundering resources from the human race."

"As for you, Fellow Daoist Green Serpent, since we are both of the demonic race, I offer you this advice out of goodwill."

"You have joined forces with that Old Ancestor Golden Toad to stir up storms in the Southern Wilds Immortal Realm."

"Although it seems you have gained benefits."

"In reality, Old Ancestor Golden Toad is deeply scheming and full of deceitful tricks, not to mention the Muhe Laogui, who has lived for ten thousand years, standing behind him."

"If you choose to ally with them, be careful not to capsize in a shallow ditch; I have said all I need to say."

Having finished speaking, the palace-dressed woman paid no heed to the other's reaction, transformed into a ripple, and vanished into the sky.

The Green-Faced Poisonous Serpent stood motionless in place for a long time with a cold face, seemingly lost in thought, before he too vanished from the spot.

However, halfway back, just as he was preparing to return to the demonic race within the Beast Cry Mountain Range, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The Green-Faced Poisonous Serpent sensed a faint, almost imperceptible aura flying toward this location.

Immediately, his eyes began to flicker intensely.

On the other side.

Qin Ming was riding the Silver-Yin Yi Shuangfeng, swiftly shuttling through the sky.

But in the next instant.

A violent and chilling divine sense swept over him without any restraint.

The domineering nature of this divine sense made Qin Ming feel chilled to the bone, as if falling into an ice cave; he hurriedly mobilized the magic power in his dantian to resist the impact of this divine sense.

Qin Ming's expression changed drastically; he sensed a green figure transforming into a black thread, carrying spiritual pressure far exceeding that of a mid-stage Jin Dan cultivator, rushing toward him at extreme speed.

"Hmph!"

An icy voice suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.

If not for the fact that Qin Ming's divine sense had already reached a level comparable to a perfect-stage Jin Dan, he would have barely been able to withstand the opponent's divine sense attack.

Even more terrifying was that the opponent's cultivation base was clearly far superior to Qin Ming's; both of them had discovered each other's presence at almost the exact same moment.

The distance between them rapidly closed.

Following close behind was a green-black light that pierced through the void, arriving in an instant.

The opponent attacked with fierce momentum; everything happened in the flash of lightning and spark of flint, giving him no chance to react.

In haste, Qin Ming could only take out that third-tier middle-grade Bone-Eroding Umbrella, spread it open, and hurriedly block in front of himself.

Whoosh! Bang! A tremendous crashing sound exploded.

The Bone-Eroding Umbrella in Qin Ming's hand let out a mournful cry; unable to withstand even a few breaths, it instantly shattered into pieces and was completely ruined.

Furthermore, the green-black dark light did not lose momentum but struck Qin Ming fiercely.

In the flash of lightning and spark of flint, a glazed treasure armor composed of blood qi and true gang appeared on his body, as his True Extreme Body was fully activated.

Boom! Even so, Qin Ming was still blasted hundreds of zhang away by this strike.

Although he had withstood this blow with his powerful physical body, he still felt a lingering fear.

Only after the black light dissipated did Qin Ming clearly see the magical treasure that had attacked him: it was a black diamond with a ferocious shape.

Its tail was a green-faced, fanged serpent dragon, while its three-edged pointed thorn emitted a dim green glow, clearly indicating some extremely vicious poison.

If not for the fact that Qin Ming's True Extreme Body had already been cultivated to the realm of being invulnerable to ten thousand poisons, he would likely have fallen for the opponent's trap at this moment.

Immediately after.

Black clouds pressed down between heaven and earth, and a thick black fog instantly enveloped the space within a radius of several hundred li.

Seeing Qin Ming under attack, the Shi Tian Shu immediately flew out from the Xumi Shanhe.

Holding a black steel fork, it roared angrily at the opposite side:

"Which blind thing dares!"

"You've eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard!"

"You actually dare to scheme against my master?"

"Come out, you scoundrel, and accept your death obediently!"

"Today, I will let you experience what it means to wish for death but find it elusive!"

Just as Shi Tian Shu finished speaking.

A figure with a green face and two horns appeared in the air ahead, draped in green scales, its serpent tail swaying, exuding an ancient aura of a superior being that suppressed all by bloodline.

Upon seeing this person, Shi Tian Shu's eyes widened! As if seeing a ghost, it immediately hid back inside the Xumi Shanhe map.

"So it's you!!"

"My apologies for the disturbance."

Qin Ming also sensed a terrifying cultivation aura from the other party, making his hair stand on end: "Late Third Stage... possibly even a Third Stage Peak Demon King!"

Seeing the semi-transformed form of the Demon King opposite, combined with his actual cultivation level, Qin Ming could easily guess that this fiend was most likely the renowned Green-Faced Poisonous Serpent from the Beast Roar Mountain Range.

This is just too unlucky.

This place is clearly still very far from the Beast Roar Mountain Range.

Why did I have to run into him specifically?...

"A strange human Jin Dan, and a mid-stage Jin Dan at that?"

"To actually withstand my Black Light Poisonous Dragon Drill without dying is quite interesting."

The Green-Faced Poisonous Serpent stood with hands behind his back, then retrieved the black drill from mid-air, staring at Qin Ming with a mocking expression, as if looking at a dead man.

"You should have heard of my All-Heaven Black Fog Great Formation, correct? Once inside this formation, even if you possess high-grade teleportation talismans or calamity-substitution talismans for survival, none can break the boundary to escape."

"Furthermore, that despicable old rat has fallen into your hands; it is fitting to resolve both matters together."

"All-Heaven Black Fog Great Formation?!"

Although Qin Ming had never heard of this formation, he deliberately feigned a shocked expression on his face.

Because he could indeed feel that the spatial range of several hundred li around them had been completely sealed off by the Green-Faced Poisonous Serpent's black fog.

Qin Ming's expression became extremely grave; he immediately made a grasping motion with his five fingers, and six greenish-blue long nails appeared in his hand, flickering with crimson-gold supreme yang energy.

These were precisely his innate magical treasure, the Wood Emperor Nails.

"A top-tier Third Stage magical treasure?"

"Quite interesting."

"From the moment I appeared until now, you have not shown any sign of panic."

"It seems you are fearless because you hold a trump card."

"However, none of that matters; once I kill you and search your soul to refine your spirit, these will no longer be secrets."

The Green-Faced Poisonous Serpent emitted a powerful aura, causing dark clouds to swirl in the sky instantly; the corner of his mouth lifted high as he directed a cold, evil grin at Qin Ming.

Facing such a great enemy, Qin Ming dared not hold back and launched all six Wood Emperor Nails from his hand.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! The green light flashed and vanished, disappearing into the void.

In the next instant, the Wood Emperor Nails abruptly appeared before the Green-Faced Poisonous Serpent, stabbing from six different cunning angles.

Upon the Wood Emperor Nails, a layer of crimson-gold divine light still flickered, as if capable of melting and piercing through everything.

"Solar Essence Flame!"

"And it seems there are quite a number of them..."

The vertical pupils of the Green-Faced Poisonous Serpent tightened, and he discarded his underestimation.
