"HISS!"
Hovering above the undulating lake, a giant python coiled, asuring thousands of feet in length. Its scales were pitch-black, emitting a dense black smoke, its mouth agape, revealing sharp fangs.
A tyrannical, ferocious, and terrifying aura radiated from it.
"That is an Ancient Python, a Nine-Turn Saint King at its peak. Young Master, be careful!" Kun Daoist warned.
Spiritual treasures of heaven and earth from ancient tis were guarded by demonic beasts who considered these treasures their own. They possessed a strong sense of territory, and any rash intrusion would automatically be seen as a challenge.
"Human, scram!" the Ancient Python roared coldly, its voice hoarse, like clashing tals, extrely unpleasant.
Qin Wudao drew the Xuanyuan Sword, his entire being emanating a terrifying imperial might. All spiritual treasures of heaven and earth go to those fated to possess them. If he obtained the Gold and Silver Dragon Phoenix Fruit and took it back to refine pills, the number of Emperor Realm Martial Artists in the Saint’s Court of the Great Qin Dynasty would increase significantly.
"Die!"
The Ancient Python was enraged. Its body dove downwards, stirring up massive waves, and it lunged to bite Qin Wudao.
Despite its hefty size, it was incredibly fast, transforming into a stream of black light and rapidly closing in.
Qin Wudao could even sll the stench. He tapped his toes and leaped into the air. Swinging both hands hard, he unleashed a thousand-foot-long Sword Qi, slashing towards the Ancient Python.
BANG!
BANG!
Two loud explosions echoed between heaven and earth.
One was the Ancient Python crashing onto the ground, creating a pit thousands of feet deep. The thick soil was directly reduced to voidness.
The other sound was Qin Wudao’s Sword Qi striking the Ancient Python, causing sparks to fly and leaving only a faint white mark.
Such strong defensive power! Qin Wudao was astonished. His full-force attack could send a Nine-Turn Saint King flying, but now it had only left a shallow mark, which showed just how resilient the Ancient Python was.
"ROAR!"
The Ancient Python roared in rage, its tail lashing towards the sky. Its enormous power shattered the Void, causing a large section of it to collapse.
"Vile beast, die!" Qin Wudao’s expression turned solemn as a ceaseless stream of energy was channeled into the Xuanyuan Sword. It shone brightly, conjuring visions of the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers, as if imbued with the power of an entire world, and he savagely slashed down.
CLANG!
The Ancient Python’s tail was cleanly severed by the Sword Qi.
Dark red blood spurted out like a gushing fountain, dyeing the lake red.
"Ah! Human, I’ll kill you!"
The sharp pain from its tail sent the Ancient Python into an extre rage. Its scales bristled, continuously releasing a black gas that obscured the daylight.
The trees within a thousand miles swiftly withered. All plants, except for the Gold and Silver Dragon Phoenix Fruit, that ca into contact with the black gas instantly turned into puddles of black water.
Qin Wudao floated within the black gas, a golden shield of light around his body keeping the poisonous gas at bay.
He vigilantly observed his surroundings, the Xuanyuan Sword held ready to attack at any mont.
"Young Master, attack downwards with full force, then quickly pick the Gold and Silver Dragon Phoenix Fruit and leave!" Kun Daoist’s urgent voice echoed in Qin Wudao’s mind.
Hearing the guidance, Qin Wudao didn’t hesitate. He raised the Xuanyuan Sword high, conjuring Five Elents Sword Qi, which transford into five differently colored giant dragons, striking directly below.
"Ah!"
As the Sword Qi descended, Qin Wudao heard the Ancient Python’s pained screams. The dense black poisonous gas surrounding them also quickly dissipated.
The Ancient Python lay on the ground, writhing in pain. Fresh blood seeped continuously from its head, especially its eyes, which had been pierced by the Sword Qi, blinding it.
A mournful cry, filled with terror and fear, echoed in the sky.
"ROAR!"
At this mont, a roar from another of its kind ca from the distant sky, filled with fury.
"Its kin is coming! Leave quickly!" Kun Daoist urged.
Qin Wudao gritted his teeth and flew to the island in the middle of the lake. After picking the Gold and Silver Dragon Phoenix Fruit, he saw a giant python, over two thousand feet long, flying towards him from dozens of miles away. It was wreathed in roiling black gas, its mouth still stained with fresh blood.
Quasi-emperor Realm!
Without thinking, Qin Wudao hastily fled on his sword. He finally understood why there weren’t any other demonic beasts around: they had all been devoured by the two Ancient Pythons.
The Ancient Python flying back had blood around its mouth; it had probably been out hunting!
"The Gold and Silver Dragon Phoenix Fruit represents two attributes. Humans can neutralize these through pill refinent, but demonic beasts don’t know how. As a result, two demonic beasts usually guard it, typically of the sa species and one male and one female!" Kun Daoist warned. "Young Master, the python you encountered earlier was female, and this one chasing you is male. Be careful of its venomous attacks!"
WHOOSH!
As soon as the words fell, a jet of black venom, like an arrow loosed from a bowstring, shot towards him at frightening speed.
Qin Wudao’s hairs stood on end. He dodged with all his might, narrowly avoiding it.
The venom missed its target and landed on a giant mountain. Instantly, the mountain began to lt, and in the blink of an eye, it had completely vanished.
How ferocious! Qin Wudao swallowed hard. Fortunately, he had dodged. Otherwise, he would probably have been reduced to a puddle of pus by now.
WHOOSH!
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Before he could rest, the Ancient Python continued to spit venom, its eyes full of ruthless savagery, vowing to kill the human who had stolen its treasure.
The Gold and Silver Dragon Phoenix Fruit was key to its advancent to the Emperor Realm. After guarding it for tens of thousands of years, it was now stolen.
One can only imagine how intense its killing intent is!
Damn, it’s coming again! Feeling the lethal killing intent behind him, Qin Wudao felt his scalp tingle. He constantly shifted his position to dodge the venom attacks.
But doing so slowed him down.
"Hand over the Gold and Silver Dragon Phoenix Fruit!"
The Ancient Python rapidly closed in, its deep, oppressive voice thundering in Qin Wudao’s ears. The distance between them was rapidly shrinking.
"Young Master, head east!"
At the critical mont, Kun Daoist shouted.
He was sitting cross-legged on the Kunlun Bell, his hands forming a seal. A trace of Fortune hovered above his head, pointing eastward from within the chaotic Void.
Kunlun Dao Arts, Destiny-Seeking Technique!
It could find the greatest chance of survival in a crisis.
"Sword Control Technique, go!"
Qin Wudao gestured with his hands, and the Xuanyuan Sword abruptly changed direction, flying east.
The pursuing Ancient Python glanced eastward. A flicker of hesitation appeared in its blood-red eyes, as if it feared sothing there. But after hesitating for a mont, it still gave chase.
In no ti, Qin Wudao reached the end of the forest. Ahead lay an abyss that yawned like a massive beast ready to engulf all living beings.
"Senior, is this safe?" Qin Wudao asked, looking at the pitch-black abyss. He felt it wasn’t reliable.
"Go!" Kun Daoist shouted without hesitation.
Qin Wudao gritted his teeth and plunged into the abyss. The Ancient Python chasing him had an anxious look in its eyes but also plunged in after him.
"ROAR!"
From the depths of the abyss, two red orbs suddenly appeared, and a low, eerie roar echoed out.
The Ancient Python stiffened, its eyes filled with dread. Instinct told it to leave, but it was unwilling to lose the Gold and Silver Dragon Phoenix Fruit.
