Immortal Martial Academy - Chapter 51

“You dare, thief!” Aunt Qing transformed into her massive serpent form and rushed forward to protect the Young Lady.

Swiftly reacting, she enveloped the maiden with her enormous snake body.

“Hissssss!!” The giant serpent head hissed menacingly at Wu Xianyao.

Wu Xianyao frowned; the Heir was indeed only a 1st Rank, easy prey, but having this 5th Rank powerhouse nearby posed a slight challenge – albeit just a minor one.

“A 5th Rank opponent, I might not lose even if it’s two against one. In a one-on-one, I am confident I can still kill you,” Wu Xianyao declared, drawing Weeping Blood as he faced the Great Green Snake – yes, specifically addressing the Great Green Snake.

“Human, do you not fear the wrath of my Heaven Raising Python Clan?”

With a swift slash, Wu Xianyao struck at the scales of the Great Azure Snake, causing them to tremble, and several fell off.

The Great Green Snake retaliated by lashing its tail, but Wu Xianyao leaped, landing on the snake’s body, and delivered another strike, sending more vibrations through the serpent.

Unexpectedly, the Great Green Snake then swallowed the Snake Maiden it had been protecting. Wu Xianyao was taken aback, realizing the cunning behind this method, no wonder they chose this protector for the Snake Maiden.

“You’re courting death, boy.” The Great Green Snake coiled and leaped into the air, creating a massive storm.

Wu Xianyao unfurled his wings, soaring skyward, observing the tornado with flickering azure light within it.

“Innate ability?” Wu Xianyao swiftly unleashed several strikes, all instantly shattered by the storm.

It seemed the Alien Race’s combat prowess was no exaggeration. With the World Illuminating Spear in hand, five golden dragons materialized around him, each as large as the Great Green Snake.

“Azure Dragon Roar!” The five dragons emitted powerful sonic waves that surged into the storm. The Great Green Snake momentarily faltered but quickly regained composure, scoffing, “Trivial skills!”

From within the storm, countless wind blades shot forth, each over ten meters long. Wu Xianyao effortlessly cleaved through them using Weeping Blood in his left hand.

With his right hand holding the World Illuminating Spear, he pointed forward, “Azure Dragon’s Fury!” The five azure dragons charged into the storm, engaging fiercely with the Great Green Snake.

Within moments, all five dragons were annihilated. Wu Xianyao frowned slightly; while Azure Dragon’s Fury wasn’t his highest-ranked Martial Skill, it was still formidable.

Azure Dragon’s Fury could instantly kill a 4th Rank powerhouse with a single strike, but it seemed that confronting a 5th Rank required more advanced techniques.

Wu Xianyao’s own cultivation was only at the early stages of the Spirit Gathering Realm, yet he had no clear estimate of his true combat strength. Having effortlessly dispatched 4th Rank opponents before, he decided to test himself against a 5th Rank, which is why he agreed to assassinate the Snake Maiden.

“Is this all you’ve got, boy? If so, today will be your last.” The Great Green Snake intensified its storm, aiming to engulf Wu Xianyao within it.

Wu Xianyao wasn’t foolish; the storm was the Great Green Snake’s domain. “Instantaneous – Hundred Fangs!”

Thousands of slashes formed a massive net-like blade aura, enveloping the storm and attempting to shred it apart.

Countless wind blades collided with the blade aura, revealing the snake’s head amidst the tempest. A beam of light then shot towards Wu Xianyao.

Frowning slightly, Wu Xianyao summoned Yang Fire energy around his armor. As the azure glow struck the Yang Fire, it instantly melted away.

The Great Green Snake’s eyes widened in disbelief. “How is this possible? Medusa’s Gaze has been broken!”

Wu Xianyao, however, wasn’t one to passively endure attacks. He unleashed Azure Dragon’s Fury once more, creating an opening within the storm. Seizing his chance, Wu Xianyao charged directly into the eye of the whirlwind.

Inside the calm center, Wu Xianyao smiled, pointing his blade towards the coiling azure serpent above. “Since I began cultivating martial arts, I’ve never truly tested my combat prowess. Today, with your alien blood, I shall honor my path in the Martial Dao. Vanquishing Evil Style—Open Formation.”

A surge of powerful Heaven and Earth Energy erupted from Wu Xianyao, channeled into his Weeping Blood Crossing Blade. With a swift thrust into the ground, the blade spun, as if activating a hidden mechanism.

The Great Green Snake lunged at Wu Xianyao but abruptly halted, sensing imminent danger—a threat to its very life.

As it hesitated, countless blades of energy burst forth from the ground, each transforming into a manifestation of the Weeping Blood Crossing Blade that soared high into the sky. The Great Green Snake was caught off guard, scales flying off amidst the onslaught.

Roaring incessantly, the snake attempted to gather Heaven and Earth Energy to regain control over the storm. However, the sheer number of blade energies overwhelmed it, breaking through the storm and dispersing circularly across the sky before encircling a radius of one kilometer.

Trying to escape, the Great Green Snake found Wu Xianyao suddenly appearing before it. With a single strike, the snake was sent hurtling backward, crashing onto the ground.

The Great Green Snake rose, its icy eyes fixed on Wu Xianyao, “Do you truly believe it’s that easy to kill a 5th Rank?”

“Bloodline Power, Ignite!” Scales began shedding from the snake, replaced by deep emerald green ones. Additionally, two small protrusions appeared on its forehead.

No longer just an Green Snake, it now transformed into a Flood Python Dragon. Its body expanded once more, reaching over two hundred meters in length.

“Aoohh!!” A streak of azure light charged towards Wu Xianyao.

“Vanquishing Evil Style – Star Stream!” A golden beam surged forth, briefly clashing with the azure light before extinguishing it and continuing towards the Flood Python Dragon.

As the golden light approached, the Flood Python Dragon conjured a barrier, but the golden beam pierced through effortlessly, heading straight for its belly.

With a swift twist, the Flood Python Dragon avoided a direct hit to its stomach, yet the blade still sliced across its back, leaving a gaping wound. Blood splattered in the air as the creature let out agonizing cries.

Wu Xianyao observed the suffering Flood Python Dragon and assessed his internal reserve of Heaven and Earth Energy, slightly frowning. Just one strike of Star Stream had consumed nearly one-third of his energy.

The Flood Python Dragon surged upwards, attempting to escape by breaking through the confines of Vanquishing Evil Style’s domain. Suddenly, a drop of its essence blood appeared before it, exploding and causing the creature’s power to surge once more, reaching the peak of 5th Rank.

Wu Xianyao, unwilling to face defeat passively, shouted, “Sun Breaker!” Blade Qi swirled around him, enveloping Wu Xianyao as he charged towards the Flood Python Dragon.

Layers of defenses materialized behind the beast, but under the might of Sun Breaker, they crumbled within less than a breath.

Attempting to withstand the attack head-on, Yang Fire manifested on the blade edge. With one devastating strike, the Flood Python Dragon was cleaved in half. The Great Azure Snake could never have anticipated such immense destructive power from that single blow.

Even Wu Xianyao was surprised at how confidently this opponent relied on its defenses.

Next, Wu Xianyao reached out and grabbed a trembling young girl nearby.

The girl now understood the true meaning of peril. Realizing that claiming herself as the Young Lord of the Heaven Raising Python Clan would be futile, she knew better than to mention it. The Human Race and Alien Races were eternal enemies; staying silent might prolong her life for a moment longer.

Wu Xianyao waved his hand to store the Flood Python Dragon’s corpse and dragged the trembling Young Lord onto the Little Panda Cruiser.

Two small arrows instantly pierced through the young serpent’s shoulders. It was uncertain if the seven-inch vital point for snakes applied similarly in humanoid form, but as a mere 1st Rank, escape was not an option.

With a painful scream, the snake race’s Young Lord collapsed on the command deck of the cruiser.

Wu Xianyao sent a message to Lan Haoyue, “Mission accomplished!”

The frontline warriors began their retreat, and Lan Haoyue, relieved, signaled Wolf 7 to withdraw together.

Similar scenarios unfolded elsewhere. The Flame Rat stronghold suffered significant losses this time, with several Seed Divine Guards perishing. The Human Race’s sudden assault caught them completely off guard.
