Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar

Le Congsheng possessed a B-rank Aperture, his Energy Sea occupying sixty-three percent of its volume. The "Rock Skill" he cultivated was merely a common third-tier, earth-attribute defensive Cultivation Technique.

Compared to Hong Yuan—a prodigy with a Class A Aperture, a ninety-five percent full Five Origin Energy Sea, and a practitioner of the fifth-tier "Myriad Silence Origin Skill"—Le Congsheng was just an ordinary disciple of the Phoenix Creek Sect. It was even highly probable he would remain stuck at the Formal Disciple level for life.

He felt incredibly lucky to have met Hong Yuan when he was nobody and to have developed a life-and-death friendship with him. The only downside was that Hong Yuan was too honest, always hesitant and indecisive. This time, I hope Yuan learns from me, Le Congsheng, what it means to be decisive!

"HISS! HISS!"

Several Bamboo Leaf Green venomous snakes spat venom, while the Silver Ring Snakes conjured a black fog. Their aim was to obscure Xiao Youjun's figure and prevent Le Congsheng from taking any desperate, mutually destructive actions.

Le Congsheng watched the black fog slowly rise, a mocking smile spreading across his face. "Heh heh..." So, you viper, you can feel fear too?

Le Congsheng retrieved his last Fireball Talisman. He calmly activated it, blasting a temporary path open, then swung his long saber forward and charged at Xiao Youjun.

I'll smash this Xiao Youjun to death!!!

BANG! BOOM! RUMBLE!

Le Congsheng was like a wild bull, a heavy-duty truck, charging forward with reckless abandon and astonishing momentum.

"You think you can perish with me?" Xiao Youjun's willow-like eyebrows arched slightly, her voice turning sharp. "Are you even worthy?!"

Xiao Youjun increased the output of her True Essence, her hand seals for techniques changing rapidly. The venomous snakes, invigorated, collided with Le Congsheng.

Like an immovable boulder, Le Congsheng crashed into the spirit serpents, yet he continued his charge without a word.

Except for a few first-tier spirit serpents, the other venomous snakes were all crushed as Le Congsheng barreled through them.

At that moment, three Bamboo Leaf Greens and two Silver Ring Snakes coiled around Le Congsheng's waist. They then attempted to entangle his limbs, seeking to restrict his movements.

The constricting power of these serpents was astonishing. Five large snakes, acting in concert, could undoubtedly crush a first-tier spirit tree.

But Le Congsheng was still advancing!

Relying on sheer willpower and the "Rock Skill," he forcefully pushed onward, persistently closing the distance to Xiao Youjun.

"AAARGH!!!" Veins bulged on Le Congsheng's face, his blood boiling to its absolute limit.

He felt as though he were shouldering an immense burden. It was reminiscent of his days as a menial disciple, when he was forced to carry water even when too exhausted to move, yet still had to continue.

Xiao Youjun was clearly frightened by Le Congsheng's berserk state and quickly commanded her venomous snakes to attack him.

Coiling... constricting... envenoming...

Under the snakes' assault, Le Congsheng's condition deteriorated by the second. His once seemingly invulnerable, rock-like body was now riddled with gaping bite wounds, and his blood had turned a sickening purple—

But he was still sprinting forward!

Even as a man drenched in blood, he continued his frantic charge!

"Ah Sheng, come back! WAAAH..." Tang Baiwei cried her heart out, tears streaming down her face.

Reaching out, Tang Baiwei seemed to be trying to pull Le Congsheng back, desperate for him to stop fighting to the death.

Hong Yuan, too, was somewhat stunned by Le Congsheng's "if I die, I'm taking you with me" ferocity. However, he quickly concealed his astonishment and joined Tang Baiwei in yelling for Le Congsheng to stop his desperate assault.

He even shouted louder and more mournfully than Tang Baiwei.

"Brother Cong Sheng, concede! We concede!" Hong Yuan yelled anxiously. "Xiao Youjun, if you have the guts, come at me! You viper! If you dare harm another hair on Brother Cong Sheng's head, I'll fight you to the death!"

On the arena platform, Xiao Youjun heard Hong Yuan's frustrated shouts. She glanced towards the audience, saw the enraged Hong Yuan and the wailing Tang Baiwei, and an immense sense of satisfaction welled up within her.

Not harm a single hair on his head? I'll make you, Hong Yuan, understand what true helplessness feels like! I'll repay the suffering you inflicted on me twofold!

Xiao Youjun ignored the commotion offstage, focusing intently on manipulating her venomous snakes.

Le Congsheng was now dangerously close to Xiao Youjun. Yet, she showed no sign of panic. The five venomous snakes ceased their attempts to constrict the blood-soaked Le Congsheng. Instead, they all began pulling in the opposite direction, effectively tethering him. This halted his reckless charge, bringing them to a stalemate on the platform.

The Outer Sect Deacon promptly used an observation technique to carefully assess Le Congsheng's condition, ready to intervene.

If not for an Elder halting his actions from the shadows, he would have stopped the fight much earlier.

This girl is truly going too far. She had so many chances to win but chose to torture him instead. Why bother?

Am I going to lose? Le Congsheng's consciousness grew hazy; hallucinations flickered at the edge of his vision. He saw Xiao Youjun, not far ahead, blur into three figures. To have pushed myself to the limit only to get this far... I'm so unwilling! If only I also had a Class A Aperture...

"Brother Cong Sheng! Brother Cong Sheng!!!"

Just then, a familiar voice shouted Le Congsheng's name. His consciousness, which had been on the verge of fading, coalesced once more. He snapped his eyes wide open, summoning strength throughout his entire body.

THUMP-THUMP-THUMP...

Le Congsheng's heart hammered wildly, his blood surging through his veins once more.

STOMP.

Step by agonizing step, Le Congsheng advanced, each footfall gouging a pit into the platform. He dragged the five venomous snakes forward, their bodies carving deep trenches in the ground.

"A mid-battle breakthrough? Are you kidding me?!" Xu Haisheng shot up from his seat, glaring furiously at Le Congsheng.

Seeing a potential turning point, Hong Yuan yelled with even greater fervor, "Brother Cong Sheng! Brother Cong Sheng!!!"

As he channeled his True Essence into his shouts, his voice carried so far that contestants and spectators on other arenas turned to look.

Tang Baiwei wept tears of joy, her sobs choking her.

"Heh..." Xiao Youjun scoffed, witnessing the legendary mid-battle breakthrough occur in her opponent.

In an instant, ten second-tier Ice Arrow Talismans materialized in her hand.

Ever since I saw Hong Yuan's technique of controlling Bee Soldiers while simultaneously drawing his bow and firing arrows, how could I not study it? Hong Yuan, you'd never imagine I'd use your own tactics to crush your friend, would you? MWAHAHAHA!

The thought of Hong Yuan's impending furious expression filled Xiao Youjun with glee. She couldn't help but laugh aloud as she calmly channeled the last of her True Essence.

At this moment, the Outer Sect Deacon could no longer restrain himself. Xiao Youjun's impending attack could very well kill Le Congsheng instantly. But just as the deacon was about to intervene, the Elder from the Enforcement Hall, concealed in the shadows, forcefully stopped him.

Dozens of small ice arrows shot towards the empowered Le Congsheng. In response, Le Congsheng mustered the last dregs of his True Essence to activate his core cultivation technique, the "Rock Skill."

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Dust and debris erupted, obscuring vision.

Despite the protection of the "Rock Skill," five ice arrows still pierced Le Congsheng's shoulders and calves, causing him to bleed profusely. The five first-tier venomous snakes also perished in Xiao Youjun's indiscriminate attack.

Now, on Arena C-Seven, Xiao Youjun stood proudly. Le Congsheng, a figure drenched in blood, knelt on the ground, his breathing fading.

First Elder Niu Juhe of the Enforcement Hall, watching from the shadows, regarded Le Congsheng with a hint of disappointment. Is this all he's capable of? With such meager ability, he's not fit to be my disciple.

As Xiao Youjun's gaze swept past Le Congsheng, preparing to taunt the supposedly "despairing" Hong Yuan, Le Congsheng's eyes suddenly shot wide with fury. Enduring the excruciating pain, he lunged at Xiao Youjun.

"Bastard! Bastard, let go of me!" Pinned beneath Le Congsheng, Xiao Youjun thrashed and beat at him.

Ignoring her struggles, Le Congsheng grappled with Xiao Youjun on the platform like a common street thug.

At this moment, these two disciples from Overlord Sects fought like a pair of street ruffians.

Both had lost their True Essence, left with nothing but their raw physical strength and stamina.

Given Xiao Youjun's physique and combat prowess, she was no match for the demonic Le Congsheng.

Soon, Xiao Youjun was completely pinned by Le Congsheng, unable to move.

"This slap is for bullying Bai Wei!"

SLAP!!!

Le Congsheng grabbed Xiao Youjun's face with one hand and delivered a resounding slap to her left cheek. Xiao Youjun was stunned, two bloody teeth flying from her mouth. Xu Haisheng immediately shot up from his seat and moved forward.

"And this slap is for bullying Yuan!"

SLAP!!!

This time, it was a heavy right slap. Xiao Youjun's cheek swelled, turning a bruised red. She could no longer contain the terror in her heart and burst into loud sobs.

"WAAAH... WAAAH..."

THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!

Now even more enraged, Le Congsheng rained punches and kicks upon Xiao Youjun, focusing his assault on her legs.

"Bastard, stop it!" Xu Haisheng roared, leaping towards Arena C-Seven.

"Heh, matters of the arena are settled in the arena." Hong Yuan delivered a swift flying kick, forcing Xu Haisheng to halt his advance.

Seeing the confrontation erupt between Hong Yuan and Xu Haisheng, Le Congsheng became even more brutal towards Xiao Youjun, viciously breaking both her legs.

Xiao Youjun shrieked and wailed, her hatred for Le Congsheng building with every passing moment, slowly beginning to surpass her hatred for Hong Yuan...
