Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 139: Poisonous Sand Lizard

Meng Zhang was ready to lend a helping hand, and Jue Ying didn't mind engaging in a battle with the poisonous sand lizards below. However, before intervening, they needed to be prepared. Rushing into battle might not change the situation and could even result in their own loss.

The poisonous sand lizards below were mostly First Rank beasts, with combat power equivalent to a Refining Qi stage Cultivator among humans.

This gathering of numerous poisonous sand lizards formed a tribe where they didn't attack each other. The reason for this was that there was a Second Rank lizard acting as the leader, commanding the First Rank lizards to launch attacks.

A Second Rank beast had combat power comparable to a Foundation Building stage Cultivator among humans.

If their enemy below were a Foundation Building stage Cultivator, Meng Zhang would probably lack the courage to intervene. However, Second Rank beasts lacked human intelligence and the diverse abilities of human Cultivators.

Facing an opponent with a low intellect, unable to control its own instincts, even if it had great physical strength, Meng Zhang dared to fight it.

Moreover, the human Cultivators below might be at a disadvantage, but they were not without means. Xu Chengxian, being experienced, surely had hidden aces up his sleeve.

The humped sand lizard beasts from the human caravan formed a circle, and all the human Cultivators arranged themselves along this circle to block the fierce attacks of the beasts.

These humped sand lizard beasts wasted their massive size. Not only were they more docile than old oxen, but they also had almost no combat power.

After observing for a while, Meng Zhang and Jue Ying found the right moment to join the battle.

Under Jue Ying's control, the Black Crane slowly descended. When it was about a hundred zhang above the ground, Jue Ying leaped lightly and floated down towards the battlefield.

Although a Refining Qi stage Cultivator couldn't fly in the air, with the Featherfall Art, they could barely glide with the aid of wind currents.

After Jue Ying landed, still far from the battlefield, she immediately used the Earth Escape Spell, burying her entire body underground.

With Jue Ying away from the Black Crane, the crane spread its wings and soared high, then dived down quickly toward the battlefield.

As the majestic creature flew into the sky, not only the human Cultivators but also many poisonous sand lizards raised their heads to look.

Meng Zhang leaped from the back of the Black Crane and glided with the wind, landing directly behind the poisonous sand lizards.

The ringing of a bell continuously sounded, and under the effect of the Startling Soul Bell, the poisonous sand lizards in front of Meng Zhang became confused and disoriented.

Meng Zhang activated the Fire Seal in his hand, and flames spewed out, transforming into fierce fire serpents that fiercely attacked the targets. After a while, burnt bodies lay on the ground.

The flying sword, Soft Around The Finger, flew out in a flash, slashing across the head of a poisonous sand lizard and leaving behind a huge wound. Copious amounts of blood gushed out, splattering the ground.

From the moment Meng Zhang leaped off the Black Crane to the scene of carnage and bloodshed, it took only a moment.

Meng Zhang's swift attack disrupted the formation of the beast group. The surrounded Cultivators also began to fight back, achieving considerable results.

"Little Sect Master Meng, thank you for your assistance. Such great kindness will undoubtedly be repaid generously," Xu Chengxian said, having already spotted Meng Zhang. His entrance was so impressive that it was impossible to ignore.

"You are too polite, Senior Xu. Our two sects are friendly, so lending a hand in times of need is only natural. There's no need to talk about repaying such mundane matters," Meng Zhang replied loudly.

As Meng Zhang spoke, his actions didn't pause. When dealing with the beasts, it was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

The thick stone armor and impenetrable scales on the surface of the poisonous sand lizards were nothing in front of the sharp flying sword, Soft Around The Finger. It cut through them like paper.

Among the poisonous sand lizards, there was one with a much larger size and thicker scales than the others. It noticed Meng Zhang.

This beast was the leader of the group, a Second Rank poisonous sand lizard.

"Little Sect Master Meng, be careful of that Second Rank," Xu Chengxian loudly reminded.

In fact, Meng Zhang had noticed the Second Rank's abnormal behavior even before Xu Chengxian.

A large area of poisonous sand appeared out of thin air above Meng Zhang's head and came rushing down like a torrent.

The poisonous sand emitted a blue light and an extremely nauseating stench.

Meng Zhang acted swiftly, moving like a nimble fish, and dodged the incoming sand in an instant.

The Second Rank poisonous sand lizard wasn't ready to give up and continuously launched its innate spells.

The ground suddenly rose high, and sharp spikes thrust toward Meng Zhang. Masses of poisonous sand were carried by the wind and surged toward him.

Meng Zhang was agile enough to jump into the midst of the other poisonous sand lizards while evading the attacks. In doing so, many of the First Rank lizards were accidentally injured by the Second Rank's attacks.

As Meng Zhang evaded the attacks, he didn't forget to eliminate any First Rank poisonous sand lizards that came his way.

The Second Rank poisonous sand lizard grew furious, and its enormous body charged toward Meng Zhang.

As it rushed forward, not hitting Meng Zhang, the surrounding group of poisonous sand lizards ended up in chaos.

While the Second Rank lizard chased Meng Zhang, a figure emerged from the shadows on the ground behind it. As soon as the figure appeared, it merged back into the shadows.

The Second Rank poisonous sand lizard suddenly paused after knocking one of its subordinates away.

From the shadow under its feet, a figure suddenly sprang out.

With a swift motion, Jue Ying's slender piercing sword stabbed the lizard's thigh dozens of times in a split second.

Given the massive size of the poisonous sand lizard, human long spears and broadswords were like toothpicks to it. Jue Ying's slender piercing sword was something it shouldn't have even cared about. Yet, after being struck, it suddenly experienced unprecedented intense pain, howling continuously as its body trembled violently.

Seeing that Jue Ying's sneak attack worked, Meng Zhang took advantage of the opportunity and controlled his flying sword to launch a fierce attack on the Second Rank poisonous sand lizard.

Capturing the leader was crucial. Once they took down the Second Rank poisonous sand lizard, the chaotic beast group would quickly fall into disarray.

Although these beasts lacked high intelligence, the many First Rank poisonous sand lizards instinctively launched attacks on Meng Zhang and Jue Ying.

As the poisonous sand lizards charged toward Jue Ying, her figure suddenly disappeared into the shadows.

A large area of blue poisonous sand completely enveloped Meng Zhang's body, but a blue light barrier appeared on the surface of his body, blocking all the attacks.
