The river water was turbulent, and blood rain poured down.
Crack—
Dense droplets of blood crashed down, dyeing the murky river water a dark red, which was then quickly diluted by the rapid current.
A hint of the pale belly of fish erged in the east, tearing through the silky black curtain of night.
Dawn had arrived.
Everyone, using the faint morning light, looked towards the tall man standing like a vigorous pine.
His crown had already scattered, his black hair wildly fluttering, his clothes corroded by the stomach acid of the Demon Python revealing a body carved like with axe and chisel, covered in blood, as if he had erged from hell like an Asura.
Li Yuan, who had been raging like a mad tiger just before, now quietly nestled in his arms, exhibiting an indescribable fragility and pitiful softness.
Butchery and beauty, blossoming at the break of dawn.
This scene, deeply engraved in everyone’s pupils.
Several prompt texts flashed before his eyes, but Chen Mo did not imdiately check them, lowering his head to look at the woman in his arms, frowning and saying:
"Do you have a death wish?"
Although he was inside the stomach of the Demon Python, his Divine Sense could still sense the outside movents.
Li Yuan was completely risking her life; if he had acted any later, this Little Tiger might have turned into a dead tiger!
Li Yuan raised her head to et his gaze, her eyes bright and unflinching.
"If you no longer care for your life, neither do I."
"..."
Chen Mo was slightly stunned.
Silent for a mont, he said no more but injected Vitality Essence into her body, quickly repairing her injuries.
However, the excessive depletion could only be slowly recuperated, and she would likely be weak for so ti.
"Chen Mo, you..."
Qiu Longgang struggled to get up, his face as pale as paper, and exclaid in disbelief: "Did you intentionally get swallowed by the Demon Python?!"
Indeed, that was the case.
The Demon Python’s body was covered in bones, making it impossible to breach its defense.
Chen Mo voluntarily entered its belly, began to gather power, and fully unleashed the Dragon Shocking Slash from inside out, completely tearing it apart.
Because he was protected by Vitality Essence, ensuring his life was safe, he dared to do so.
Upon seeing Chen Mo admitting by default, everyone gasped in shock!
To feed oneself to the python, to seek life in the face of death, what kind of courage and resolution was that?
Even with sufficient strength, how many could dare to do such a thing?
Qiu Longgang’s gaze turned complex, the normally proud man feeling for the first ti a sense of inferiority...
"Groups of three stay alert, everyone else rest on the spot," Chen Mo commanded.
"Yes!"
Everyone responded.
Even the Fire Departnt Constables now harbored no doubts towards his commands.
"Cough cough..."
At this mont, Qin Shou softly reminded: "Boss, your clothes are gone..."
?
Just as Li Yuan straightened herself, she turned her head and her cheeks instantly flushed red, as the sight of his exposed mber swinging in the wind looked formidable and brazen.
Still as intimidating!
With so many eyes watching, Chen Mo indeed felt a bit embarrassed, but his expression remained calm.
"A gentleman is frank and open, petty n hide their shortcomings... Since I ca naked, what can I do without clothes?"
Qin Shou gave a thumbs up, admiringly saying: "Makes sense, Boss truly is a gentleman among gentlen!"
Every battle results in torn clothes, Chen Mo indeed lives up to his reputation!
...
After a brief recovery, everyone began to clean up the battlefield.
The Demon Python was dead, but its remaining flesh still emitted thick Demon Energy, requiring centralized handling to prevent wild animals from consuming it and potentially giving birth to Demon Creatures.
The seventy-plus people who were rescued from the river bottom gradually regained consciousness.
In order to continually drain Essence Qi, the Demon Python used an Array to absorb Primordial Qi, maintaining their basic survival needs.
But due to the massive loss of Essence Qi, their appearances had beco decrepit and aged, with even children’s hair turning sowhat gray.
"Where are we?"
"What happened?"
Their expressions were blank, at a loss for what to do.
The events of the past period had left no mories in their minds.
The earth-shattering noise by the river had already alard the townspeople, who had gradually started to gather around.
Tat-tat-tat—
The urgent sound of horse hooves approached.
A group of governnt officers galloped over, with the county magistrate in a green robe among them.
Fu Nansong did not want to co, the terrifying roar alone was enough to chill one’s heart.
But considering that two Hundred Household Officers were present, he followed reluctantly, not wanting to create dissatisfaction.
Even though everyone was ntally prepared, they were still stunned by the scene before them—
Fresh blood turning the land dark red, chunks of flesh piled like mountains, beside which a hundred yards long white spine lay coiled, its thick Demon Energy shooting straight into the sky!
Even in death it blazed like demonic flas, how terrifying it must have been in life?
"My heavens! What kind of demon is this?"
"Judging by the spine... it looks like a snake?"
"How could a snake have claws?"
"Hiss, could it be the legendary Jiao?!"
The governnt officers were visibly shocked.
Fu Nansong’s official robe was soaked through with cold sweat.
Such a fierce demon was lurking in Linglan County?!
If this demon had rampaged through the city, the consequences would be unimaginable!
He dismounted, ran over with his short legs, and deeply bowed to Chen Mo and the others.
"On behalf of the hundred thousand citizens, thank you for your action in Demon Slaying!"
Chen Mo nodded and said: "The missing have been found, call their families to pick them up."
"Yes!"
Fu Nansong quickly made arrangents.
He sent a few Governnt Officials back to spread the word, while others maintained order at the scene, preventing the onlookers from getting too close.
Soon, the families of the missing arrived one after another.
"My child!"
"Mother!"
They ran forward, embracing their loved ones and weeping uncontrollably.
Though their appearances had aged a lot, preserving their lives was the greatest fortune amidst misfortune!
"Thank you, sir, for saving my son!"
An elderly woman knelt tremblingly before Qiu Longgang.
Qiu Longgang looked sowhat uncomfortable, pointing at Chen Mo, "If you want to thank soone, thank him. I didn’t play a big part."
