Chapter 660 - 660 The Descendant of Nuwa
660 The Descendant of Nuwa
Most importantly, Snake Empress’ body would be completely naked during the breakthrough. In order to receive the essence of nature, she could only exist in the open.
The fog that filled the air was to cover her body.
Although her body was the same as a normal person’s now when she transformed, the fluctuation of Qi emitted from her body would push away the fog around her.
Thus, they could only rely on a wider area of fog to cover it.
However, at the critical moment, Li Xiang sucked the mist away.
It would have been fine if that was all, but it had also directly exposed the body of Snake Empress in the surroundings to the world.
When Snake Empress broke through, she naturally couldn’t let anyone stay by her side, which led to this great beauty being naked under the sun. As long as someone flew across the sky, they would be able to clearly see everything below.
Most importantly, apart from concealing her body, this mist was also the essence of the poison cultivated in his body. It was the last link in her breakthrough, but it was gone now.
In the end, it led to the failure of the breakthrough. How could he let go of such a great enmity?
However, it was troublesome to explain, and she was too lazy to do so.
The only thought she had in her mind was that no matter what, she must tear the fellow who destroyed his breakthrough into pieces today!
It wasn’t until now that he saw Li Xiang in front of him that he was secretly surprised. The person who destroyed his breakthrough was actually such an extraordinary human.
“You’ve absorbed the mist around me and ruined my breakthrough. Is this enough for me to take revenge?” Snake Empress asked hatefully.
“What? You didn’t release this mist to seal off Jixia Academy?” Li Xiang asked, puzzled.
“Hmph, it’s just a broken Academy, why would I need to release a mist that covers the entire valley? For other foreign races, breaking through this Academy might be difficult, but for me, it’s like a piece of cake. I don’t need to use such a method!”
Li Xiang knew that she was telling the truth, and he couldn’t help but feel speechless.
“This can be considered a misunderstanding. I thought that someone had sealed the academy with ill intentions, so I took action to absorb the miasma that filled the sky. I didn’t expect it to ruin your cultivation…” Li Xiang’s explanation wasn’t rather convincing.
In the end, he looked at the cold and indifferent Snake Empress and could only ask helplessly, “What do you want?”
“If you don’t die after three of my attacks, I will leave you alone!”
Snake Empress heard Li Xiang’s explanation. Although she knew that he didn’t mean to interrupt her breakthrough, she would definitely not let him off easily.
At her level of strength, every breakthrough was extremely difficult. Now that it had been destroyed once, how could she let it go so easily?
However, the anger and fury in his heart had dissipated a lot.
Li Xiang had left her with a positive impression, and he had honestly explained his actions and reasons. She could only think that it was unlucky of her to break through this time. It might have been bad timing, and he didn’t mean harm.
But no matter what, she had missed an opportunity to break through, so she had to make Li Xiang pay the price no matter what.
“Country Lord Li, please think twice!” When Cai Yong heard Snake Empress’s conditions, he frowned slightly and tried to dissuade him, “Your life doesn’t only belong to you, but also to hundreds of millions of human beings. You can’t risk it. You can stay here. I’d like to see how these foreign races are going to break into the academy.”
He was very confident in the defensive power of the academy.
“It doesn’t matter. If we don’t resolve this enmity, we’ll be entangled in the future. Since there’s a chance to solve it now, it’s better to understand it immediately.”
Li Xiang shook his head and walked out of the academy’s protection range to Snake Empress.
“He’s indeed an extraordinary man. Even if this trouble is a misunderstanding, he still chose to take responsibility,” Qi Jiguang thought in his heart.
Cai Yong understood Li Xiang’s intention, for he probably didn’t want to get the academy involved in this trouble.
“You have a death wish, huh?” However, a strange expression flashed across Snake Empress’s face as she let out a cold snort.
Snake Empress looked at Li Xiang’s figure standing in front of her, and a strange look flashed in her eyes. She didn’t know if Li Xiang was really stupid or just pretending, or if he really intended to take three attacks from her.
With her strength, if she was allowed to attack three times, even if it was a powerhouse of the same level, there would definitely not be many who could withstand it. They would either be heavily injured or die.
She looked at Li Xiang with a complicated gaze, and even a trace of admiration appeared in her heart.
“If you want to die, then I will fulfill your wish. If you can take three of my attacks and not die, then the grudge between you and me will be written off.” A cold glint flashed in Snake Empress’s eyes as she spoke decisively.
“Alright!” Li Xiang immediately nodded in agreement.
“Country Lord Li, please think twice!” Cai Yong frowned and tried to persuade him again.
“That’s right. You are not just a nobody. Your safety affects the fate of hundreds of millions of people. Don’t be rash. Snake Empress’s power is extremely horrifying. No matter how strong you are, you will be seriously injured after taking three attacks,” Lin Ruhai’s expression changed as he shouted.
“Thank you for your concern, but I’ve already made up my mind. Besides, even if you want to kill me, it won’t be that easy,” Li Xiang smiled indifferently and said calmly.
“Since you want to die, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Take my first move, ten Thousand Snakes Devour!”
When Snake Empress heard Li Xiang’s answer, she did not hesitate and took out a hairpin from the top of her head. The hairpin flashed and quickly grew in size in her hand, turning into a life-like snake staff with a life-like snake body coiled around it. After the snake held the snake staff, the noble aura on its body became stronger.
“Divine Snake Scepter!”
When Li Xiang saw the snake scepter, he immediately got the relevant information through the Probing skill.
This was no ordinary treasure.
[ Divine Snake Scepter ]
[ Grade: Rank 6 of the divine realm ]
[ Description: a supreme treasure controlled by the Nuwa clan for generations. It is formed from five-colored stones and is infused with the spiritual energy of the Nuwa clan’s clansmen. It is used to enhance and refine. It has incredible power. The descendants of Nuwa injected cultivation and spiritual power into the body before they died. After a long time, they experienced many hardships and had a rare spiritual power. Only descendants with the bloodline of Nuwa could control it and unleash its full power.]
The Probing skill gave him some information that wasn’t too detailed, but it appeared in his mind naturally.
He discovered that many of the system’s functions had started to weaken ever since his cultivation had reached the divine realm.
Even the most useful Probing skill had been cut short. There was no information about the various attributes of this weapon as before, only an introduction.
Even so, when he saw the introduction, Li Xiang was shocked.
“Snake Empress has Divine Snake Scepter? Could it be that she also has the bloodline of the Nuwa clan in her body?” Li Xiang thought.
According to the legends, Nuwa had the head of a human and the body of a snake. She was a legendary God. According to the records, the Nuwa clan really existed. It was said that they had obtained the blood essence of the Nuwa clan and left behind a lineage.
