Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar

WHOOSH!

The wind swept across the arena, making Xiao Youjun's and Le Congsheng's clothes rustle loudly.

As soon as the outer sect deacon stepped away, Le Congsheng drew the first-rank Tang Sword Hong Yuan had given him. With relentless and fierce momentum, he charged straight at Xiao Youjun.

Xiao Youjun watched Le Congsheng charge at her, sword in hand, and snorted softly. She slowly tapped her Beast Control Bag.

A Five-star Light Array formed of True Essence appeared beneath Xiao Youjun's feet. Her first beast emerged, then the second, then the third…

Seeing this, Le Congsheng disregarded any risks to his body and decisively increased the True Essence output from his Aperture. Veins bulged on his face, but wind rose beneath his feet, and his speed surged once more!

"Hehe, such a clever fellow," Xiao Youjun chuckled, her right index finger lightly touching her red lips.

The first-rank demon snakes and ferocious beast-type demon snakes in front of her burst into action.

The Bamboo Leaf Green and Silver Ring Snakes slithered forward, instantly pouncing toward Le Congsheng.

"HISS!"

"SISS!"

After this initial confrontation with Le Congsheng, Xiao Youjun continued to release her tamed beasts.

The Five-star Light Array still shone at Xiao Youjun's feet, and one after another, venomous demon beasts began to emerge.

Amidst these snakes, Xiao Youjun, clad in purple martial artist attire, truly resembled a seductive and venomous femme fatale!

It was utterly chilling!

"Sheng..." Tang Baiwei looked anxious, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

Her small hands clenched together involuntarily as she silently prayed for Le Congsheng.

Hong Yuan squinted, contemplating the outcome of the first exchange and imagining himself in Le Congsheng's place. After a quick calculation, the corners of his mouth rose almost imperceptibly.

Weak, too weak, Hong Yuan thought. He could kill Xiao Youjun in a single round. But the Phoenix Creek Sect was a Righteous Sect Overlord, and almost every disciple was entangled with a slew of fellow disciples and masters. If he carelessly started a fight without restraint, he'd soon face a cascading chain of troubles—sons being avenged by fathers, and so on. The previous battles were all within the bounds of sparring, not breaking ties. Only Xiao Youjun, for some unknown reason, insisted on venting her anger on him and refused to accept even the slightest loss. Sharing this trouble with Le Congsheng was a good idea. After all, they were friends.

"Don't worry, Brother Cong Sheng is very strong," Hong Yuan reassured Tang Baiwei in a gentle voice. "Look at Xiao Youjun's snake formation; she's just trying to overwhelm him with numbers. She's not a threat."

Indeed, facing the ferocious swarm of six demon snakes, Le Congsheng instantly recalled what Hong Yuan had taught him about the advantages and limitations of snakes. He decisively pressed the mechanism in his sword's hilt, discreetly extracting two second-rank Fireball Talismans.

Heh, look down on me, will you? Le Congsheng sneered internally.

He activated the Fireball Talismans with his True Essence and hurled them at the snake swarm.

In mid-air, the Fireball Talismans were instantly activated by True Essence, erupting into balls of fire.

Xiao Youjun was still calmly and composedly summoning her beasts. When she saw Le Congsheng throw two Talismans that generated ten fireballs in mid-air, her expression changed dramatically.

At that moment, Xiao Youjun was still pondering how to torture Le Congsheng and make Hong Yuan regret it for the rest of his life. She was utterly unprepared for this strike!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ten fireballs bombarded the cluster of snakes, tearing their flesh open and even blasting a small pit in the arena. Four of the six first-rank demon snakes instantly went limp. Only two snakes at the edge of the group narrowly escaped the strike, but they too lost their ability to fight.

The outcome of this move surpassed everyone's expectations.

Le Congsheng himself was stunned for a moment, his steps faltering.

He had only meant to injure them and then move in for the kill…

But a fierce smile quickly spread across Le Congsheng's face, and he darted away with an even swifter movement technique.

「Below the arena.」

Xu Haisheng took a deep breath, calming the fury caused by his junior sister's reckless move. No rush, no rush, Junior Sister still has seven first-rank Demon Snakes, twelve venomous snakes, and a second-rank Ice Arrow Talisman, he reassured himself.

Tang Baiwei's tension eased slightly at this, but when she saw Xiao Youjun's infuriated state and the mass of Demon Snakes, her anxiety quickly returned, stronger than before.

Hong Yuan, supporting himself on the armrests of his wheelchair, looked up. He swept a cold gaze over the surrounding male disciples who were casting strange looks at Tang Baiwei, forcing them to avert their eyes.

Tang Baiwei was naturally delicate and beautiful. After her injury, her inherently pitiable charm became even more pronounced.

「On the arena.」

Xiao Youjun trembled with anger, focusing her scattered thoughts.

She had now released all her Demon Snakes. While controlling them with Beast Taming hand seals, she gnashed her teeth at Le Congsheng in resentment.

"SSSSS!"

"SSSS!"

Nineteen Demon Snakes writhed wildly on the arena. Just as Le Congsheng was about to strike fiercely at Xiao Youjun, he found his movements hindered by them.

The Demon Snakes attacked in waves, lunging at him successively. They forced Le Congsheng's momentum to dwindle until he had to switch from offense to defense.

SWISH! SLASH! Le Congsheng desperately wielded his Tang Sword, continuously hacking at the snake horde.

But under Xiao Youjun's methodical control, the snake swarm patiently drained Le Congsheng's True Essence. This was a stark contrast to her earlier greedy advances, making it clear she had learned her lesson.

"I won't give you another chance! I won't give you another chance!" Xiao Youjun muttered incessantly. Her demeanor was so chilling it made the nearby Outer Sect Deacon shudder. Sourced directly from MV6LEMP6YR.

The Outer Sect Deacon assessed the battle, ready to intervene and save Le Congsheng if he signaled surrender by raising a flag.

BOOM!

Le Congsheng threw another Fireball Talisman, blowing up one first-rank Demon Snake and two venomous snakes.

He now felt immense pressure.

"Hong Yuan, Sheng..." Tang Baiwei once again felt that familiar powerlessness. She looked towards Hong Yuan, her voice choked with tears, looking utterly pitiful and forlorn.

"Brother Cong Sheng is very strong; you have to believe in him," Hong Yuan asserted firmly. "There's definitely still a chance."

Hong Yuan's firm words somewhat dispelled the fear in Tang Baiwei's heart. Still, she clenched her fists tightly, watching Le Congsheng with intense nervousness.

On the arena, Le Congsheng clenched his teeth and inched closer to Xiao Youjun. Sensing his approach, Xiao Youjun decisively sped up her incantations, and the Demon Snakes forced Le Congsheng to halt his advance.

"Trying to take me down with you? Heh," Xiao Youjun said with disdain, her lips curling in a sneer. How could an ordinary formal disciple possibly contend with someone like her, a disciple of an Elder?

The situation grew increasingly grave. Le Congsheng's True Essence was depleting at an alarming rate, even faster than Xiao Youjun's, a disciple of the Spirit Beast Hall.

After all, Le Congsheng was just an ordinary formal disciple. His access to resources was worlds apart from that enjoyed by a disciple like Xiao Youjun, who had an Elder as her master.

Even the Fireball Talismans and the Tang Sword were gifts from Hong Yuan, who was also a disciple under an Elder. Without Hong Yuan, Le Congsheng wouldn't have even had the chance to compete on the same arena as Xiao Youjun.

"Brother Cong Sheng, you've done enough!!!"

"Sheng, come back!"

Just then, Hong Yuan "coincidentally" spoke up, calling out to Le Congsheng not to overexert himself. Tang Baiwei also couldn't help but raise her voice, joining Hong Yuan in urging Le Congsheng to stop.

HUFF... HUFF...

Le Congsheng breathed heavily. Sweat slid down his forehead, over the tip of his nose, and dripped to the ground.

Hearing the two desperate shouts from behind, Le Congsheng suddenly felt his body fill with strength once more.

I can't disappoint Yuan and Bai Wei!

Le Congsheng glared ferociously at Xiao Youjun, gritting his teeth. He squeezed every last bit of dwindling True Essence in his body to its absolute limit.

If I'm going down, you're coming with me!!!
