Chapter 50: This is a sure win.

Outside the Jade Chime District.

The forest is divided by a river, with calm winds and occasional bird chirping.

Lu Bei stands on the open space by the river. Perhaps influenced by Lin Yu's fishing hobby, his first reaction upon seeing this river is that there must be big fish in it, not just empty air.

Not far behind him, She Xuan stands by a tree. Her eyes have transformed into snake-like pupils, her body reflects light and distorts, creating a visual invisibility. In terms of perception, her breathing is steady, her heartbeat is at its lowest, like a venomous snake hibernating, concealing her presence to the point of being imperceptible.

Due to the constraints of her own bloodline, the path of a Monster Cultivator is quite difficult. During her journey to the Monster Cultivator Cave Mansion, she obtained the source of her bloodline, refining and assimilating it into herself, undergoing a fundamental transformation and greatly increasing her strength compared to before.

And this is just the beginning. All the conditions for a solid foundation have been met, and in the future, her strength will continue to skyrocket.

To use an inappropriate analogy, She Xuan's previous situation was similar to a player with a high level in their main profession who never allocated experience to their skills, resulting in weak output and fragile defense. Apart from their level, they are a useless teammate.

This is also the reason for She Xuan's confidence. After a month of hard cultivation, her strength has greatly increased. In contrast, even though Lu Bei has decent talent, he cannot improve much.

Rounding up, this is a sure win!

Full of strong self-confidence, She Xuan decides to take the initiative. Gripping a short dagger in reverse, she silently approaches Lu Bei from behind. Her snake-like pupils scan his neck, and she slowly brings the blade close.

"There's killing intent!"

Lu Bei shouts lowly, stepping aside with both feet. Using his front foot as an axis, he spins his body and kicks with his back foot.

Dragon Tail Kick!

A gust of wind howls as his kick carries immense force. The air violently bursts and strikes down, producing a piercing sound of rupture.

She Xuan is slightly surprised, bending down to dodge the kick. Seeing the grass and debris flying up from the ground and the roaring wind above her head, she can't help but be amazed.

This scene is just like what happened in the Monster Cultivator Cave Mansion, where the half-dead Lu Bei went on a rampage and killed her before she could escape.

A brave act!

She Xuan inwardly thinks that there shouldn't be a problem. With her experience and analysis of Lu Bei afterwards, she concludes that he cannot maintain strong output for a long time.

As long as she avoids his attacks until Lu Bei becomes weak and powerless, victory will be assured.

"Auntie Snake, you have too much killing intent!"

Lu Bei clasps his fists and smashes them down towards the empty space in front of him.

Boom!

A burst of energy erupts, causing the ground beneath his feet to ripple like water, sending up a large amount of soil and debris.

She Xuan feels a tremendous force sweeping over her, and she takes several steps back until she stops under the shade of a tree.

She disperses the Aura Concealing Technique and frowns, saying, "You can see through my spells?"

"I can't see through them, but your killing intent guides me to find you."

"I don't have killing intent."

"Then it must be resentment!"

Lu Bei helplessly says, "Auntie Snake, the past is in the past. You are a mature woman and should know that we can't go back to how things were. Let it go, stop reminiscing, and let's all move forward."

The words are not wrong, but is this how you express it?

She Xuan snorts coldly, "You're right, it is killing intent."

"That settles it."

Lu Bei clenches his fist and strides towards She Xuan. When the skill 'Blood Rage' activates and the capture judgment succeeds, he accelerates with a charge, his heavy fist aimed at She Xuan's face.

A whirlwind surrounds him as he shoots forward like an arrow, with gusts of air enveloping his fist, reaching the tree in an instant.

A familiar sense of fear strikes She Xuan. She can't tell if Lu Bei has cast a spell on her or if it's because she was beaten up twice before, but she refuses to admit it and plants a shadow in her heart.

Seeing that she can't match his fist, she flips her body to dodge once again. However, to her surprise, Lu Bei follows her like a shadow, taking a step and attacking her side, his clenched fist raised high, aiming for her face.

So fast!

No, so slow!

She Xuan is greatly shocked. Based on her estimation, Lu Bei shouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. At this moment, he should be exhausted and unable to resist, allowing her to easily crush him.

At this critical moment, her tail spews venomous needles, blocking the area where his fist is about to land. Then, her lower body transforms into a snake tail and fiercely strikes at Lu Bei's side waist.

The wind tore through, and the violent storm blew, causing Lu Bei's clothes to rustle.

"Good timing!"

Lu Bei's eyes gleamed. As he expected, She Xuan's strength had increased after advancing her bloodline, and her underestimation of him gave him the opportunity for close combat.

Since that was the case, he wouldn't be modest.

He raised his hand to block the incoming heavy blow from She Xuan's tail, his feet plowed the ground as he took three steps back. When the strength on the tail gradually weakened, he stomped his feet heavily, stabilizing his balance by shaking off the mud and grass. Then, he reached out and grabbed the long tail with his hands, tightly holding it between them.

"Hehe."

Lu Bei grinned maliciously, his smile making She Xuan's face change drastically. In the next second, a tremendous force spread from the long tail, causing his entire body to tremble lightly, and his vision instantly spun.

Lu Bei spun in place for more than ten rounds, throwing She Xuan out of sight, and then aimed at a giant tree and threw her.

As expected, it missed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

She Xuan flew out like a cannonball, bouncing off the ground several times before finally stopping, leaving a deep trench in the muddy ground.

This guy is truly hateful!

She Xuan's snake body trembled. She hadn't recovered from the numbness in her bones and muscles yet, but the golden snake bracelet on her wrist, transformed from a golden scale, slowly slithered, waiting for its master's command.

Sss...

Not the sound of spitting venom, but the sound of a sharp object breaking through the air. She Xuan only saw a flash of black light in front of her, and a Dark Gold Straight Knife appeared on her cheek.

A line of blood flowed down, bringing back memories.

Bitterness, helplessness...

And a sense of unwillingness.

This defeat is truly unjust!

[You have defeated She Xuan and gained 40,000 experience points.]

"Forty thousand..."

Lu Bei walked up to She Xuan, put away the knife in his Universe Bag, and then reached out his hand with a smile.

Retracting his previous words, she was a good woman. In terms of contributing experience points, no one was more active than her.

She Xuan ignored Lu Bei's outstretched hand, exited her transformed state, and staggered to her feet, leaning against a tree. "What happened to you these past few days? Did something happen to you when we were in the Monster Cultivator Cave Mansion? Did you gain something?"

"Nothing happened. It's just that my senior brother from Mountain State came to visit a few days ago. Seeing that my cultivation was low, he taught me for two days," Lu Bei truthfully replied.

She Xuan envied him, but she didn't say anything. She raised her hand and wiped away the blood on her cheek, revealing another layer of skin in Lu Bei's astonished gaze.

The same face as before, but after peeling off this layer of skin, the scars on her face disappeared without a trace.

The ability brought by advancing her bloodline allowed her to quickly heal as long as it wasn't a serious injury like losing an arm or leg. This was similar to a snake shedding its skin.

For now, even if she encountered the misfortune of losing a limb, she could regenerate it to its original state through shedding.

To exaggerate further, once her spiritual realm reached a certain level, she could even reattach her head if it was severed.

"Amazing!"

Lu Bei marveled and asked, "Snake Auntie, are you not wearing pants under your skirt? Why don't I hear any tearing sound when you transform your tail?"

She Xuan: "..."

"No way, I only dare to go out when I'm wearing pants. After all, it's broad daylight..."

"Shut up! I am wearing... whether I am or not is none of your business."

Unable to bear it any longer, She Xuan turned and walked towards Jade Chime District. "See you in Great Victory Pass in twelve days."

"Aren't we going together?"

"I don't want to!"

"Alright then, Snake Auntie, please prepare the equipment I need for the tomb. Thanks in advance."

Lu Bei waved goodbye to She Xuan's back, and his playful smile disappeared as he lowered his head and started to plan. "Twelve days should be enough time. I'll set off tonight and earn some experience in the Alchemy Room..."

"And my eldest cousin, I have to tell him too. I need to borrow the Lock Armor that can't be lost for a while."
