Reborn as a Snake: Forging a Demon Court Starting from a Black Python

Chapter 59 The Flood of Jinshan Temple

This was the first time Lin Xuan had carefully observed Bai Suzhen's true form.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Bai Suzhen revealed her true form after drinking realgar wine, but Lin Xuan did not dare to look closely. He only caught a glimpse of her and got a general idea of ​​what she was doing.

Today, however, we can observe it closely.

A moment later, Lin Xuan sighed inwardly, thinking that Bai Suzhen truly lived up to her reputation as a thousand-year-old demon, as every move she made had such a great influence.

Although he had made several breakthroughs during this period and even evolved into a true Blackwater Poison Dragon, he was still no match for Bai Suzhen in terms of magical power.

Lin Xuan was secretly amazed. He controlled his clone, which opened its huge mouth and roared at Bai Suzhen:

"Sister, I'm here!"

Bai Suzhen was also searching for Lin Xuan, but after searching for a long time without success, she was getting anxious.

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's voice, he immediately relaxed, turned around, and saw Lin Xuan's figure. He then approached him.

But Lin Xuan's voice rang out again.

"Sister, I'm ready and about to activate the water control spell."

"If we two are together, our magical powers will interfere with each other, which would be detrimental. So, just stay put and create a giant wave!"

Lin Xuan dared not let Bai Suzhen get close.

He's now just an avatar, following so far away that Bai Suzhen can't see through his disguise.

But if she gets close, there's absolutely no way to hide it.

Bai Suzhen did not suspect anything, but instead smiled and said:

"Xuan'er, your consideration is very thorough; what you say makes perfect sense."

She took a deep breath, her body swelling up.

For a very brief moment, Lin Xuan almost had the illusion that Bai Suzhen was about to swallow the entire Qiantang River.

However, this is ultimately impossible.

The next moment, Bai Suzhen's body returned to normal, and the river water she had swallowed was expelled.

It is extremely fast and contains powerful demonic energy.

No, it's not just about demonic power.

Lin Xuan frowned slightly, having noticed something amiss.

It turns out that the river water spewed out by Bai Suzhen also contained very subtle laws of power.

[Warning! The snake demon Bai Suzhen has activated her skill: Flood!]

[You and Bai Suzhen belong to the same camp; you are immune to damage!]

Lin Xuan was unaffected, but the other monsters were unlucky.

The fairies who were still watching from a distance were only slightly dazed for a moment before they realized that the Qiantang River was in complete chaos.

Undercurrents surged, and the body began to lurch wildly out of control.

"What's going on?!"

"It seems a powerful demon is unleashing its supernatural powers!"

"Oh no! If I had known this would happen, I should have run away!"

The monsters were terrified, and some of the higher-level monsters, who could speak human language, cried out for mercy.

Unfortunately, neither Bai Suzhen nor Lin Xuan listened to their pleas for mercy.

Bai Suzhen manipulated the water flow, sending it rushing upstream along the Qiantang River.

Although it was going against the current, the current was not weakened, but instead became stronger.

It crashed straight into the surging tide that was flowing downstream.

At this moment, the people on the shore finally realized something was wrong and began pointing at the river and exclaiming in alarm. Their voices were chaotic and annoying.

Lin Xuan, standing on the shore, deliberately feigned a puzzled look, tiptoeing and peering out at the river.

"What's going on now? What are they shouting about?"

Xiaoqing knew perfectly well what was going on, but she didn't explain. Instead, she reassured him, "Brother-in-law, don't worry. Those who are shouting are just unsophisticated outsiders."

"Actually, these are all normal phenomena, there's nothing to be afraid of."

That's half true and half false.

This scene is certainly not normal, but those shouting are indeed all from out of town.

The local people of Hangzhou are well-informed and realized something was wrong; they had already started fleeing to higher ground in the distance.

Why would they be chattering away here?

Lin Xuan suddenly realized, "Xiao Qing, you know so much!"

Xiaoqing chuckled inwardly, but said aloud:

"Not only do I know a lot, I know even more! Hehe, you'll be amazed by what I've learned later!"

At this moment, Xiaoqing was actually hoping that Bai Suzhen's actions would create a big enough wave to reach Lin Xuan, so that she could have a chance to show her skills.

On the bell tower of Jinshan Temple, Fahai always sits cross-legged on the large bell.

The top of the clock is not flat; it has an exaggerated curve, making it impossible for ordinary people to even stand on it, let alone sit on it.

However, none of this was a problem for Fahai, who sat there for three days straight.

When Bai Suzhen activated her supernatural powers, Fahai sensed it and opened his eyes.

His gaze swept past the ordinary people and landed directly on the river, instantly revealing the problem.

"Heh heh, that white snake was just as I predicted!"

Fahai trembled with excitement, and with a sudden wave of his hand, a cassock appeared out of thin air in his hand.

He immediately draped the kasaya over his body, looking dignified and solemn, truly resembling a highly enlightened monk.

It's a pity he doesn't have a gray beard on his chin, otherwise he would look even more like one.

Not content with simply taking back the cassock, Fahai waved his hand again, taking the golden alms bowl as well.

Although he had a premonition and guessed what Bai Suzhen was going to do, he still dared not be careless when the time came.

I still don't feel confident until I get these two magical treasures back.

The golden alms bowl vanished instantly, and the monks who had been trapped inside were overjoyed, their eyes lighting up as they exclaimed:

"Could it be that Senior Brother Fahai has changed his mind?"

"Let's get out of here quickly, expose the true nature of that white snake, and get all the people out of the city to avoid being flooded!"

But their happiness lasted only a short time.

By the time they rushed out of Jinshan Temple, they immediately realized it was too late.

The riverbank was teeming with people, the Qiantang River was surging with waves, and the air was thick with moisture.

Let alone the monks of Jinshan Temple, even someone brought in from elsewhere would know what the situation is like.

The great tide is coming!

The monks stamped their feet in frustration, yet seemed somewhat at a loss.

At this point, it would be too late to relocate the people!

"What should we do?"

"Sigh, I can only hope that the snake demon's magic isn't powerful enough to cause too much trouble."

The monks exchanged wry smiles, then stopped rushing out to rescue the people. They returned to the temple, found Fahai's location, and looked up at the bell tower.

Since they couldn't save the person, they placed their hopes on Fahai.

The snake demon doesn't care about human lives, but our Brother Fahai is ultimately a Buddhist disciple.

Although he is somewhat... careless about details, he is still better than the snake demon.

"If Senior Brother can quickly defeat that snake demon, the calamity in Hangzhou might be less severe."

"I hope my senior brother wins quickly!"

Many monks clasped their hands together and began chanting scriptures to support Fahai.

This is not simply praying to gods and Buddhas; rather, these martial monks already possess spiritual cultivation, and their prayers are genuinely effective.

A faint golden light emanated from Fahai's body.

If Lin Xuan were here, he would be able to see that Fahai has an extra status bar above his head.

This character has received a buff, increasing damage by 10%.

Fahai smiled, nodded to the monks, and then looked towards the Qiantang River.

The countercurrent and the great tide stirred up by Bai Suzhen drew ever closer and finally collided.

Boom!

The enormous sound stunned the ordinary people who remained on the riverbank. They turned around in bewilderment and saw a giant wave rise out of nowhere, rushing in from afar.

Someone asked in a daze, "This...is this right? Is the tidal bore of the Qiantang River really that high?"

No one answered him; even the locals of Hangzhou were dumbfounded this time.

However, despite the towering waves, Bai Suzhen was still not satisfied.

Even if such a wave were used to strike at Jinshan Temple, it would still inevitably affect Hangzhou City, causing boundless bloodshed.

She shouted, "Xuan'er, it's your turn!"

Lin Xuan was prepared and laughed loudly:

"Don't worry, my wife! Watch me give Fahai a big one!"

Water control technique!

Bai Suzhen frowned instantly. Why would Xuan'er call me that?

But before she could ask a question, a strange aura emanated from Lin Xuan's clone.

It was so profound that even Bai Suzhen was surprised.

"Is this Xuan'er's supernatural power? Something seems off!"

Bai Suzhen had seen the dragon several times among the snake clan, so she was well aware of the dragon's strength.

Although water can be controlled, it is merely an instinct.

However, Lin Xuan's current methods are somewhat outrageous, even making Bai Suzhen a little flustered.

This was not an illusion; as Lin Xuan activated his water control technique, he was able to manipulate all the surrounding river water.

The Qiantang River within a few miles became his absolute home ground.

As long as Lin Xuan makes a move, he can make Bai Suzhen suffer a great loss.

Lin Xuan certainly wouldn't do that. He kept his eyes fixed on the waves Bai Suzhen was creating, and unleashed his demonic power as if it were free.

In an instant, the waves rose even higher, almost reaching the sky when viewed from a distance.

It was as if a sheet made of water had been hung upside down from the sky, pressing down on the city of Hangzhou.

Before the tide even arrived, countless splashes of water were already falling, hitting the heads of ordinary people in the city.

At this moment, no one spoke; everyone stared at the surging tide, dumbfounded.

I had only one thought in my mind: I'm going to die today!

Inside Jinshan Temple, the martial monks were equally astonished. Could this be the kind of commotion that the white snake could cause?

No, if the snake demon really had such abilities, why didn't she do it sooner? With such powerful magic, why didn't she just attack Jinshan Temple directly? Why wait until today?

As for the other monks, whether they were abbots or supervisors, they were just like ordinary people, unable to speak.

Only Fahai saw through the deception and sneered:

"Heh heh, the guy behind the snake demon has finally made his move!"

"I had long suspected that the dragon that suddenly appeared that day couldn't have just left like that; it was most likely related to the snake demon. Seeing it today, I can confirm it!"

"The snake demon and the dragon joined forces, each using their own methods, to stir up this giant wave to attack my Jinshan Temple. This idea is not bad."

"What a pity, what a pity, you've run into me!"

"Think you can flood Jinshan Temple? You really don't take me seriously!"

Fahai closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and after a moment opened them. His demeanor changed completely, as if he were a different person.

He was muttering something to himself, but it was unclear what he was saying.

Upon seeing this, the monks all collapsed to the ground.

Oh no, this is obviously the Rebirth Mantra being recited!

Even Fahai, the senior brother, has given up. Who can suppress the snake demon?

Bai Suzhen had similar thoughts in the Qiantang River.

She poked her head out of the river; though she still had a snake's body, her expression carried a captivating charm.

Bai Suzhen laughed, "Xuan'er's supernatural powers are truly amazing! If you and I join forces, we can definitely drown all the bald monks in the temple!"

Lin Xuan's clone remained submerged at the bottom of the water, but his voice traveled through the river.

"My lady, don't be too happy yet. That bald monk still has tricks up his sleeve."
