Chapter 1360: Ancient Ruins (Second Update, requesting everything)

On the way to the back of Qianyuan Island, Li Zhangsheng noticed that Huonu Wang seemed to have something to say, as he kept glancing at him inadvertently.

"What? Is there a flower on my face?"

Li Zhangsheng teased, which gave Huonu Wang a feeling like a spring breeze, making the tension in his heart ease up a lot.

Huonu Wang took a deep breath, not daring to hide anything: "His Majesty Wansheng Wang, actually I hid one thing. That Hua Snake is guarding some Ruins, and I suspect it came out from the Ruins."

If he hid it, Huonu Wang was afraid that Li Zhangsheng would see through the trick later, and that would be bad. He had only met Li Zhangsheng once or twice, so how could he know his character? He was terrified that Li Zhangsheng would become dissatisfied and kill him on the spot.

Rather than that, it was better to be honest.

"So that's how it is!"

This did not exceed Li Zhangsheng's expectations. After all, no matter how compassionate Huonu Wang was toward the residents of Qianyuan Island, he could not be generous enough to use a Qiuniu corpse as a trade. He could have completely relocated the residents of Qianyuan Island; with his ability, this was not difficult.

Although the Hua Snake was also a Divine Beast and was at the Wei Huangji level, the Qiuniu was the eldest of the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon, and the Dragon Clan was famously full of treasures; its value was actually higher than that of a Wei Huangji Hua Snake.

Huonu Wang taking a loss to invite Li Zhangsheng to deal with the Hua Snake was, in the end, still for the sake of profit.

If this Wei Huangji Hua Snake really came out of these Ruins, it meant that the owner of these Ruins might be an Emperor Rank.

Of course, the greater possibility was still a Double-Character King, after all, this Hua Snake had also recently advanced to the Wei Huangji level.

"Don't worry, I will abide by the agreement. I only want the Qiuniu corpse, the rest is yours, including the Ruins!"

Li Zhangsheng waved his hand; he was still very willing to abide by the spirit of the contract.

"This... wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"It's settled!"

While Huonu Wang breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt admiration for Li Zhangsheng's magnanimity. After all, if it were someone else, upon learning that these Ruins had a certain possibility of being left behind by an Emperor Rank, they would probably feel tempted and could not let go of such an opportunity, and might even turn against Huonu Wang to monopolize the benefits.

As for why Huonu Wang took the initiative to tell Li Zhangsheng, it was mainly because he didn't know why, but he always felt he couldn't hide it from the other party; this was likely his sixth sense at work.

Chatting along the way, in just a few minutes, the two successfully arrived at the northern part of Qianyuan Island.

This was a wasteland where countless long, strip-shaped boulders stood, so it was also known as the Giant Stone Wasteland, and it had now become the territory of the Wei Huangji Hua Snake.

In the central area of the Giant Stone Wasteland was a huge, murky lake.

Before the two could get close, a huge shadow rushed out from the lake.

This was a behemoth with a human face and a leopard's body, with wings on its back, walking like a snake, a wriggling monster; this was the Hua Snake.

Waa—

The Hua Snake flicked its black snake tongue, emitting a cry like a baby's loud wailing, and fixed its scarlet gaze on the two, especially on Huonu Wang.

A few months ago, the Hua Snake had fought fiercely with Huonu Wang; although the Hua Snake eventually won, it did not manage to keep Huonu Wang.

Snake-type Spirit Beasts were naturally vengeful, and the Hua Snake was no exception.

As the Hua Snake made the sound, the lake suddenly became turbulent, turning into giant waves hundreds of meters high, sweeping toward the two.

The Hua Snake rarely opened its mouth to make a sound, but once it did, it would summon a monstrous flood; this could be said to be its instinct.

Huonu Wang's expression changed, and he subconsciously wanted to fly higher; as long as he exceeded the height of the giant waves, he would not be under any threat.

Li Zhangsheng did not retreat, merely extending his right hand, a golden flame appearing in his palm, floating lightly toward the giant waves.

The moment the two made contact, the giant waves acted like lamp oil, and the golden flame roared and surged, instantly spreading across the surface of the waves.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

The sound of water and fire being incompatible rang out, accompanied by a large amount of water vapor, which quickly spread to the surroundings.

Before the giant waves could reach Li Zhangsheng, they were burned to nothing by the Sun True Fire.

Huonu Wang watched, dumbfounded, and could only sigh that he was indeed worthy of being the Wansheng Wang, who was comparable to an Emperor Rank.

The Hua Snake was different; its snake pupils turned vertical, its eyes filled with human-like vigilance and solemnity, its massive body curled into a disk, and it did not act rashly again.

"My turn!"

As soon as Li Zhangsheng's voice fell, Baitian and Heiye, standing on his shoulders, turned into two Residual Shadows, rushing toward the Hua Snake at high speed.

Li Zhangsheng had no intention of leaving the Hua Snake a way out; Divine Beasts also had distinctions between good and evil, and the Hua Snake, which liked to stir up trouble, undoubtedly belonged to the evil side and must have had many lives on its hands.

Additionally, the agreement included a clause that the Hua Snake's corpse belonged to Huonu Wang, which meant the Hua Snake had to be killed.

Meow, meow—

The two cats were like arrows released from a bow, appearing on the left and right sides of the Hua Snake in an instant, and simultaneously spraying a large number of energy balls, swarming toward the Hua Snake.

The Hua Snake again emitted a sound like a baby's wailing, and giant waves formed once more, submerging the energy balls.

Boom, boom, boom—

Countless explosions came from the field, countless splashes of water flew, and the giant waves collapsed, but the energy balls were also exhausted, and only the traces of the two cats were lost.

Suddenly, a sound of breaking air rang out above the Hua Snake's head; it was the two cats, who had appeared above its head at some point, each brandishing sharp claws that turned into huge claw lights, falling down with a roar.

Bang, bang— Slash—

Before the Hua Snake could react, it felt its head sink, followed by a sharp pain; countless incredibly hard snake scales flew off, and deep bloodstains were directly clawed out.

Seeing that the two cats wanted to expand their victory, the Hua Snake hurriedly collapsed into the exceptionally murky lake and disappeared.

Just at this moment, Li Zhangsheng raised his right hand high, and countless Sun True Fires gathered, instantly turning into a huge sphere with a diameter of tens of meters, smashing down toward the lake.

Rumble—

The huge sphere exploded with a roar, and countless Sun True Fires splashed and scattered, landing all over the lake, then quickly spreading.

Unless ordinary water reached a certain magnitude, how could it block the Sun True Fire?

The water in the lake seemed to have turned into fuel; in the blink of an eye, the surface of the lake was covered with Sun True Fire.

The entire lake instantly turned into boiling water, boiling up in an instant, and countless water vapor surged wildly, the temperature reaching a truly astonishing level.

In such an environment, the Hua Snake had to rush out of the lake, flapping its wings violently, wanting to charge toward Li Zhangsheng.

However, were the two cats just for show?

Before the Hua Snake could approach Li Zhangsheng, two huge light rings suddenly appeared on the surface of the Hua Snake, and with its wings suddenly constricted, such a change caused the Hua Snake to lose its balance in the air and crash toward the ground.

Not giving the Hua Snake a chance, two huge Light Flame Giant Swords condensed instantly and slashed straight down.
