Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar

Zhang Baicun had just taken Chen Qingshan skyward when a deafening sound arose from afar. Waves of sound assaulted them from the base of the mountain, so fierce they seemed to swallow rivers and mountains.

"Scoundrel, stop!"

Mo Jiuyou's rage shot to the skies. His stature tall and straight, he stepped on air as if treading on lotuses, his body soaring into the heavens.

Taoist True Body?! A Martial Arts killer move?! This madman!

Zhang Baicun glanced down, his face instantly turning ashen.

Chen Qingshan, beside him, shivered violently, his whole body slumping onto the back of the Green Wind Roc King of Thousand Beasts.

At this moment, Mo Jiuyou had fully revealed his fourth-tier Taoist True Body. Behind him, a massive black wolf manifestation of Essence Qi appeared.

In a mere instant, Mo Jiuyou threw a punch forward.

The Essence Qi black wolf roared.

A great maelstrom arose, surging forward with overwhelming force.

At that very moment, mountains shattered, and great rivers flowed in reverse.

"It's the General's Grey Wolf Howling Moon Martial Arts killer move!"

"The General has made his move!"

"This battle is won!"

...

The soldiers all shouted excitedly, their eyes fervently fixed on Mo Jiuyou's figure, oblivious even to the extinguished beacon fires around them.

Hong Yuan's eyes widened in utter shock as he watched his Senior Brother.

A third-tier cultivator forges the Taoist True Body, a fourth-tier cultivator constructs Martial Arts killer moves, and a fifth-tier cultivator condenses semi-Divine Powers...

Hong Yuan had some understanding of the general progression of Martial Arts cultivation, but he had never expected the effects to be so astounding.

To roil rivers and seas, to shatter mountains—what terrifying power this is!

「In the sky.」

Upon seeing Mo Jiuyou personally enter the fray, Zhang Baicun hurriedly released his beast herds.

Ironclad Brute Bulls, Mighty King Kong Apes, Green Wood Elephant Herds...

Ferocious Beasts filled the mountains and plains. Under Zhang Baicun's control, they fearlessly charged toward the Essence Qi black wolf.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, these Ferocious Beasts were all reduced to bloody dust, scattering in the air.

Only a few Thousand Beast Kings still struggled, barely holding their ground against Mo Jiuyou.

This damn madman! Using such True Essence-consuming killer moves—isn't he afraid I have reinforcements?

Zhang Baicun spat out a mouthful of bloody foam, exhausting his mental energy to command his remaining elite troops against Mo Jiuyou.

Slave Tao Martial Artists feared other Martial Artists getting close more than anything. Once an enemy was in close quarters, it became very difficult for Slave Tao Martial Artists to leverage their numerical advantage.

Now, Zhang Baicun found himself in an awkward predicament.

He could never have imagined Mo Jiuyou would be so crazed, recklessly expending vast amounts of True Essence just to deal with him.

"S-Senior Brother, let's run," Chen Qingshan stammered, trembling.

Having witnessed Mo Jiuyou's god-like, demonic power up close, Chen Qingshan's spirit was completely broken.

Seeing Mo Jiuyou continue to unleash his might, a chill settled in Zhang Baicun's heart. He commanded his few remaining Thousand Beast Kings to fight to the death and tie down Mo Jiuyou, then immediately urged the Green Wind Roc King of Thousand Beasts to flee at full speed. This tеxt wаs асquirеd frоm М|V|L0ЕМРYR.

Without Zhang Baicun's command, the few Thousand Beast Kings instantly lost their intricate coordination and were swatted to death by Mo Jiuyou.

"Trying to escape? Not a chance!"

Mo Jiuyou bellowed, his fury making him resemble an enraged wolf king.

If I hadn't sent Mo Shan, if my Junior Brother didn't have a way to fly, my most beloved daughter might have suffered such a cruel fate!

"AWOOO!!"

With a wolf's howl, Mo Jiuyou once again soared into the sky, his momentum tremendous.

Zhang Baicun glanced back and was instantly paralyzed with terror, desperately pushing the Green Wind Roc King of Thousand Beasts to fly even faster.

Yet, the distance between them refused to widen!

Junior Brother Chen, I'm sorry, Zhang Baicun thought. Then, with a single slap, he killed Chen Qingshan, who lay paralyzed on the Green Wind Roc's back.

An expression of stunned disbelief spread across Chen Qingshan's face. He had never imagined that this True Disciple, his senior brother renowned for his virtue, would be so ruthless.

"Begone, begone!" Zhang Baicun intoned. He activated a secret technique, transforming Chen Qingshan's lifeblood and essence into a surge of vigorous Essence Qi. The Green Wind Roc King of Thousand Beasts' speed increased explosively, and Mo Jiuyou gradually fell behind.

Watching this battle between fourth-tier Martial Artists from below, Hong Yuan was profoundly shaken.

When Hong Yuan saw the Green Wind Roc King of Thousand Beasts suddenly accelerate to extreme speed, his expression changed. A powerful sense of unease instantly gripped his heart.

That scoundrel's Green Wind Roc King of Thousand Beasts is actually so fast!? If he decided to attack me, with only my half-baked Flying Oriole killer move, I'd be dead without a burial site!

Hong Yuan's expression turned grim.

He hated nothing more than his safety being compromised.

If not for this spring outing, he might have truly forgotten that Nanyang Government was on the front line between the Phoenix Creek Sect and the Qinglu Taoist Temple.

"Little Uncle, Little Uncle..." Yue'er tugged on Hong Yuan's sleeve, looking at him with concern.

Hong Yuan's expression softened to its usual gentle look. He gave Yue'er a reassuring smile. "Little Uncle is fine. How about you, Yue'er? Were you scared?" he asked, comforting the little niece in his arms.

The spring outing thus came to an end, and Hong Yuan began his journey back with his Senior Brother.

After this unexpected attack, the entirety of Pengcheng was thrown into turmoil. By Mo Jiuyou's decree, a storm of activity swept through the city and its surroundings.

Constables rooted out numerous spies. These agents of the Qinglu Taoist Temple were forced to divulge some information before being summarily executed.

Under these circumstances, the Pengcheng area paradoxically returned to a state of rare tranquility.

Hong Yuan, too, immersed himself in arduous cultivation, striving to rapidly perfect his Flying Oriole killer move.

Third-tier to forge the Taoist True Body, fourth-tier to construct Martial Arts killer moves, fifth-tier to condense semi-Divine Powers...

Conventional Martial Artists followed this path, step by step.

However, due to his proficiency panel and his own high aptitude and innate talent, Hong Yuan could easily train his Martial Arts to the level of pinnacle mastery and refine Cultivation Worms from them.

Killer moves referred to a Martial Artist combining their existing Martial Arts in specific ways, much like card fusion in Yu-Gi-Oh!, to achieve stronger, more comprehensive effects.

For example, if a Level One Shield Bearer and a Level One Saber Wielder were combined, they would form a Saber-and-Shield Wielder. One card would then exert the power of two, and Essence Qi consumption would also be halved.

The same principle applied to killer moves!

Compared to the Martial Arts killer moves constructed by ordinary Martial Artists, the killer moves Hong Yuan constructed from Cultivation Worms—derived from techniques already at pinnacle mastery—could be activated more swiftly, more efficiently, and with greater power...

This was why Hong Yuan remained so fixated on the Flying Oriole killer move!

Green Wind Roc King of Thousand Beasts, Qinglu Taoist Temple... Hong Yuan recited silently in his mind.

He still found it hard to forget the battle scene from that day, especially the heroic, awe-inspiring figure of his Senior Brother Mo Jiuyou as he shattered mountains and rivers. This filled him with deep admiration and longing.

The power of that True Disciple from the Qinglu Taoist Temple, however, sent a slight shiver down Hong Yuan's spine.

The overwhelming Beast Swarm, the exquisitely clever tactical coordination, the incredibly mighty Hundred Beast Kings and Thousand Beast Kings...

All of this told Hong Yuan one thing: if that True Disciple ever found an opportunity, he, Hong Yuan, would be killed with ease!

A life-and-death crisis... This must be the second one my main body has faced. As expected, leaving the Sect is just too unreliable.

Hong Yuan sighed inwardly, but he wasn't overly dejected.

Senior Brother Mo Jiuyou considered him, Hong Yuan, to be somewhat faint-hearted, but Hong Yuan knew he was never truly timid.

He wasn't afraid of trouble and never lacked the courage for a desperate, all-out struggle.

In this situation, the best course of action is to lie low in the safety of Pengcheng's inner city and focus on perfecting the Flying Oriole killer move as quickly as possible.

A perfected Flying Oriole killer move will definitely be even faster than that Green Wind Roc King of Thousand Beasts!
