A giant snake popped out from the lake.
It was comparable to a mountain. A single scale was even bigger than the old priest. When the snake straightened its body, it looked like a really tall mountain peak.
This giant snake’s body was multi-colored. The little girl was right; it was indeed a five-colored snake.
The old priest gulped as he looked at both the little girl and the unconscious old man.
He couldn’t control himself and was thinking about fleeing!
His instinct was to avoid danger!
“I should have made a divination before heading out.” The old priest was filled with regret and hatred.
He looked at the pitiful little girl who was in tears and suddenly recalled his oath.
The old priest stopped thinking about fleeing and looked at the snake with determination.
He couldn’t flee!
But he was worried!
What if he couldn’t beat it?
Since the old priest broke into Countless Sands Realm, even when he broke into Dao Saint Realm, he had never fought.
A few thousand years had passed without the Old Priest even fighting anyone. He had always chose the safest route in life.
Hide! Hide! Hide!
Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!
But now he couldn’t hide or avoid any longer. The old priest took in a deep breath and said, “Snake, I don’t mean to fight you but I just want to take this old man and kid away.”
Kong!
In response, he was met with a furious roar and the smelly breath of the snake.
Explosion!
The snake smacked the lake water and caused huge waves to rise up. They were dozens of meters high and were about to totally drown the entire island.
When the old priest saw this, he frowned and rage rose up in his heart.
There was a little girl and a dying old man on the island. Since the snake had such a strong aura and cultivation, its intellect was definitely not low.
But it still insisted on doing that. This was something that the old priest couldn’t accept.
“Don’t force me into doing it!” The old priest said seriously.
Facing the dozen-meter tall giant wave, the old priest stared at the giant serpent. His aura exploded around his body and the aura of a Countless Sands Realm expert swept the area.
Kong kong kong!
The snake hissed in rage. It had sensed danger, so it was even more violent and maniacal now. It went all out to sweep the lake water around it to try to smack the three of them to death.
Explosion!
The lake water covered them. It was as if the sky and the ground were falling apart. It was really terrifying.
“Old grandfather, save us.” The little girl hugged her grandfather and cried.
The old priest said calmly, “Little girl, don’t cry. With me here, nothing will happen to you. It dares to attack me so arrogantly with a wall of lakewater?”
The old priest finally became firm and determined. He didn’t want to hide anymore, or rather, he was unable to do so anymore.
Facing the surging lake water, the old priest’s aura was on full display. He stepped forward and his body appeared in mid-air.
Stop!
The old priest coldly spat out one word. The World Dao that a Countless Sands Realm expert comprehended caused the giant lake across 100 miles to settle down.
Even the giant snake stopped after the old priest said that.
But after just a short while, the snake broke free. Its body coiled up, but even then it was still extremely huge. It was as if it could cover the entire sky.
But the old priest didn’t fear anything. It aggressively punched forward.
Constant Youth Fist!
The most basic fist technique in the Constant Youth Celestial Technique. At the initial stage, it could only help to train one’s body and didn’t have much other use of fighting strength. But in the hands of the old priest, this fist technique could shock the world.
Peng!
The old priest’s Constant Youth Fist smacked into the body of the snake and it gave out a metal-like sound.
Clang!
Dozens of the big snake’s scales were shattered and scattered everywhere by this punch.
Kong!!!!!!!
The snake cried out manically and it twisted its body in rage. It opened its bloody mouth and spat out a five-colored toxic gas.
“Grandfather priest, be careful. My grandfather fell for this move.” The girl shouted. She was really anxious but she didn’t cry at all.
She knew that the old priest was trying his best to save her grandfather and her. She had to be well-behaved and not let the grandfather priest worry about her.
The old priest scoffed coldly, “Do you know what I am strongest at?”
The toxic gas covered the area and continued to spread.
The snake wanted to poison the old priest to death, just like what it did to the girl’s grandfather.
But the old priest didn’t fear anything and just moved about freely in the poison. He hollered, “My strength is my body, no poison can enter and I can’t die. If you didn’t try to offend me, I could have allowed you to live. But now, you are going to die!!!!”
The old priest who had always behaved in a cowardly manner turned into the True Martial Emperor of the Taoist Faction. He formed a Demon Suppressing Sword from thin air and slashed down.
A 100-meter long sword energy slashed across the sky. It was terrifying and contained the Dao within.
Kacha!
The scales on the snake’s stomach shattered, revealing the blood-red meat underneath. The meat was sliced open by that slash.
The snake was instantly split into two. Its head and its tail split in the middle. It hollered in rage and fell into the lake.
The spurting fresh blood instantly dyed the lake water red.
A stench spread about which caused the old priest to frown. He landed on the island and looked around in shock.
“This… I did this?” The old priest was terrified by his masterpiece.
Explosion!
The giant wave that froze for over 10 seconds suddenly broke down. The lake water became red and smelly.
A giant snake corpse was floating on the surface. The entire body was now in two pieces.
“I am actually so amazing!!!!” The old priest scared himself. He looked around in disbelief.
He hadn’t fought for a few thousand years and he had actually become so strong?
He was furious just now and the old priest just wanted to vent his anger. Now that he calmed down, he found it really unbelievable.
“That isn’t right, I am so strong, so why have I been hiding?” The old priest didn’t know what he had been doing.
He was amazed by everything that he had just done.
“Grandfather priest, please save my grandfather.” The little girl saw that the old priest was just standing there in awe, she shouted right away.
“I will come over right away.” The old priest stopped judging himself and headed over to treat the girl’s grandfather.
….
Within the Bank of the Universe, Li Xiandao and Seven saw the old priest fight.
“This old priest is so strong.” Seven was impressed.
“Right, I told you that he is strong, really strong. The only problem is with his personality.” Li Xiandao nodded his head.
“What exactly is his cultivation?” Seven asked curiously.
As the old priest had been hiding his true skills, very few people knew his true cultivation.
Everyone only knew that he was at Countless Sands Realm.
But there were 18 stages, so which stage was he at?
“Countless Sands Realm 18 stages, he is at stage 17.” Li Xiandao smiled.
“He is so amazing?” Seven said in shock.
Li Xiandao nodded. This was the reason he had such high hopes of this old priest.
To be able to reach stage 17 in a place with such little spiritual energy like Ancient Desolate Land, that was near impossible. But the old priest had managed to do so.
The Great Ocean Saint Turtle that was stronger than the old priest was at stage 18
But the Great Ocean Saint Turtle was a Saint Beast and had also obtained the Xuanwu Neidan. As for the old priest, he had nothing at all.
