Chapter 65: Kill the demon wherever there is one

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas - Hai Nei Jing": "There is the Ba Kingdom in the southwest, and there is the Zhujuan Kingdom, with black snakes, green heads, and food elephants." Guo Pu noted: "It is also the Ba snake."

"Classic of Mountains and Seas: Southern Ocean Classic" states: "The Basnake eats elephants and produces their bones at the age of three. A gentleman who eats them will not have any heart or stomach problems. They are snakes with colors of green, yellow, red and black. There is also a black snake with a green head, which lives west of the rhinoceros."

Greedy and insatiable, his bones piled up into a mountain and turned into Baling!

This is the ancient vicious beast, the Bashe! Also known as the Xiu Snake!
According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the Bashe lived in the area around Dongting Lake and made a living by swallowing passing animals. It is said that it once swallowed an elephant alive and spit out the skeleton three years later.

The snake in the Chinese proverb "human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant" refers to the Basnake. Since the Basnake also attacked humans, Huangdi sent Houyi to kill it. Houyi first shot the Basnake with an arrow, then chased it to the far west and cut it in two. The body of the Basnake turned into a hill called Baling.

Li Ye was somewhat confused. Bashe, Shebisi, Yingzhao, Jiuying and Bifang were all ancient evil beasts. Why were they in the Luhua Ancient Building while Bashe was here?

Moreover, the Ba Snake had died in ancient times, so why did it reappear in Bawang Street?

But now is not the time to dig into the matter. The most urgent task now is to kill the ferocious beast in front of us.

"Human, you have usurped the power of the gods and offended their majesty. What crime should you be punished for?" The thunderous voice of the Bashe sounded, filled with anger.

Uncontrollable murderous intent surged in the cold vertical pupils of the python. It spoke in a low and eerie human voice. Its huge snake body almost pierced through the dark clouds in the sky, and its terrifying oppression was almost like that of a god.

If it hadn't noticed that this person was quite powerful, it would have crushed him into dust long ago! In these long years, no creature has dared to offend it for a long time!
Moreover, the boundless coldness on his body made the python lose all desire to devour him.

It felt an aura from Li Ye that made it extremely fearful. It seemed as if that aura was naturally restraining him, as if his status was far above its own, giving it an extreme sense of oppression.

"Fuck you, you occupied my colleague's territory, killed innocent souls, destroyed the gathering place of the souls, and you still ask me what crime you should be punished for? Do you have any shame? You are a worthless thing, you are just an evil animal, and you pretend to be an elephant with a pig's nose and shamelessly say that you are a god?"

Li Ye was so angry that he laughed, and he started talking about the quintessence of the Chinese nation.

Li Ye had seen real gods, and the vast and majestic aura of Emperor Ziwei was still fresh in his memory and was hard to forget.

"Do you know what a real god is? It's okay if you haven't seen one. I will send you to see the King of Hell soon. He is a god!"

The two ice-blue dragons beside Li Ye roared at the Basashi, and Li Ye continued to attack.

The extremely proud python's pupils constricted upon seeing this, and murderous intent filled its air. The strong murderous aura almost turned into water droplets. It claimed to be a god, so how could it have been insulted and humiliated like this? It was extremely furious, and the dark clouds over the lake became even darker, the already extremely dense rain curtain became even denser, and the dark and filthy smell became even thicker, making it almost suffocating.

"Mortals, don't overstep your bounds!"

The python let out a terrifying roar.

But it found that Li Ye had disappeared from its sight.

"Here it is!"

It immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Ye's sword had already chopped off the back of its neck. The Seven-Star Dragon Spring sword, which was intertwined with golden and ice-blue light, chopped off the dark blue scales on the back of the python's neck that were as big as a table.

The divine sword was extremely sharp and indestructible. Its hard blue-black scales were cut through, and the extremely cold air seeped into the body of the python through the wound.

"Ah!" The python let out a shrill roar in pain.

Before it could finish shouting, Li Ye opened his mouth and swung out dozens of swords in an instant. The sky was full of flashing sword lights. At such a fast speed, the sword bodies were almost invisible, and only dozens of remaining afterimages could be seen.

After the sword flashed, blood splattered everywhere, and the air was filled with blood. The surrounding rain curtain was instantly dyed red, and the smell of blood attracted the fish and shrimp in the lake to gather.

"You deserve to die!"

The python turned its body, and hundreds of water columns suddenly emerged from the surrounding lake, attacking Li Ye like tentacles.

"Mysterious Ice Realm!"

With Li Ye as the center of the sphere, the icy air spread out and all the water columns near Li Ye were frozen into ice.

"break!"

With a loud "boom", the frozen water columns all shattered and fell into the lake.

"Winter is coming!"

In an instant, boundless cold air enveloped the python, and everything around the python turned into ice. The python struggled angrily, but most of its body was frozen by the ice and it could not move.

Seeing that the Basah was firmly controlled, Li Ye rushed to the neck of the Basah again, and slashed out with a huge sharp sword energy, aiming at the original wound. The wound, which was already bleeding, became a bloody mess under the destruction of the sword energy again.

The python struggled frantically, and its huge and majestic body shattered the ice that froze it. It opened its huge bloody mouth and rushed towards Li Ye, as if it wanted to swallow Li Ye into its stomach in one gulp.

The lake was filled with violent storms, raging waves, and huge waterspouts rising from all directions, blocking every direction of Li Ye's escape. It seemed that Li Ye had no choice but to face the huge snake mouth head-on.

In front of the huge python that was as winding as a mountain range, Li Ye's thin figure was as small as a drop in the ocean.

The python felt a little relieved when it saw the tiny human being about to be swallowed by it. However, facing Li Ye's bloody mouth like a black hole, he was not panicked at all. He curled his lips and formed a huge ice ball with a huge amount of icy air. The python bit the ice ball and felt the cold air filling its mouth. It quickly spat out the ice ball.

"Frost Sky Field!"

For a moment, ice and snow were flying everywhere, and the area around the Basher was completely turned into ice and snow.

"Frost Prison!"

Countless huge icicles protruded from the frozen surface of the lake, imprisoning the huge body of the python as big as a mountain.

The two range control skills completely isolate the Basah from the water vapor, which is equivalent to cutting off one of the Basah's arms, leaving it with nowhere to use its extraordinary ability to control water.

"How do you feel now, prison bottom!"

The python felt uneasy as its magical powers could not be used now.

"Hmph, mortal, prepare to die!"

The python opened its huge mouth again, and a thick black light condensed in its dark mouth, carrying endless poison and filth.

"Ten Thousand Poisons and Pollution Light!"

The next second, a pitch-black torrent of poison gushed out from the mouth of the Basashi. Even if one was contaminated by it a little, one would be disfigured and have bones broken. An unbearable stench spread all around.

"Ice Dragon Breath!"

A huge ice dragon head condensed in front of Li Ye. The dragon opened its mouth and a torrent of ice filled with an extremely cold breath rushed out.

The spiritual power around Li Ye surged wildly, without reservation.

The ice-blue torrent and the pitch-black torrent collided in mid-air.

The poisonous black torrent and the ice dragon's breath annihilated each other, and both energies were destroyed together, leaving nothing behind.

Li Ye took the opportunity to advance to the vicinity of the Basher again, gathering all his spiritual power in the Seven Star Dragon Spring and launching a mighty attack.

"Kaiyang Slash!"

The two completely opposite forces of scorching heat and extreme cold converge in one strike, ice blue and gold interweave, and sword energy containing the power to destroy seas and mountains is slashed out from the magic sword.

The snake's pupils shrank, his heart beat wildly, and a human-like surprise appeared on his face. A strong sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

In an instant, the roar of the dragon and the painful roar of the python were intertwined, blood splattered, the blood of the python was pouring down like rain, and the cage made of ice was dyed bloody.

A scene of hell on earth.

Li Ye frowned slightly, because the Basher's anger rose again after the rapid fall.

"Humanity, in all these long years, no one has ever pushed me to this point!"

Hearing this, Li Ye saw the huge body of the python fall down with a loud bang, but the snake's body was constantly twisting.

Suddenly, a slender figure completely covered in black rushed out from the body of the python.

This is a smaller giant snake with a pale human upper body on top of its head.

The pale figure made a hoarse and unpleasant sound:
"Human, this is the end for you!"

Li Ye frowned and looked at the pale figure.

"I need more power!"

"Well then, let me show you our exciting combo skills!"

"The dragon vein is for my use!"

Suddenly, a dragon roared loudly, and a golden dragon rose from Li Ye's body.

Perched beside Li Ye.

The vast, majestic and noble aura of the dragon made the black snake feel extremely nervous.

The divine dragon merged into Li Ye's body.

Li Ye's body was filled with dazzling golden light, and his divine power was as mighty as a prison!
"This is the power of the dragon veins that I have integrated to completely release the power of General Feihu and General Xue Rengui, and the special fusion of human and spirit with General Luo Cheng, unlocking the strongest form of the Frost Dragon King - the Frost Dragon Emperor!!"
