Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 197 The Beginning of Death

The Poison Dragon Python, upon seeing the four individuals responsible for slaughtering its offspring, instantly had its eyes turn blood red as a boundless killing intent erupted from its body.

Roar!

With a fierce roar, a burst of black light suddenly spread from the dragon horns on its head.

As the black light appeared, the poison fog beneath the Poison Dragon Python acted as if it had found its backbone, merging into the black light.

Aided by the poison fog, the black light surged like it had consumed a powerful tonic, quickly expanding and instantly condensing into several black light pythons as thick as a child's arm, whizzing towards the flying boat with a hissing sound of 'breaking the void.'

"Not good!" Ge Chen's face drastically changed, and he violently raised both hands, instantly releasing a vast expanse of golden light.

When the golden light collided with the black pythons, they rapidly corroded, opening countless holes, and then seven or eight black light pythons broke through the barrier, struck the flying boat, and turned into pools of black liquid, quickly corroding the sturdy hull.

Hiss Hiss!

The flying boat, refined from hundred-year-old Yuling wood, couldn't withstand the fierce corrosion and in an instant, a large chunk of its hull was eroded away.

The Array light on the flying boat flickered wildly, the Floating Array was immediately damaged, and the boat suddenly stalled, then began to plummet.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng and the others were dealing with the black light pythons shooting towards them. A moment's delay allowed the Poison Dragon Python a successful strike.

"Cover for me!"

Seeing five Second Order Demon Pythons fiercely pouncing towards them, Ge Chen gritted his teeth and shouted, then immediately rushed forward to meet them.

He pointed with his hand, and in front of him appeared nine three-inch-long cyan Flying Knives, arranged in a Nine Palaces formation, transforming into a curtain of profound cyan Sword Light that shot out swiftly.

No sooner had the curtain enveloped the Poison Dragon Python than the nine Spiritual Artifact Flying Knives blazed with light, the curtain condensed significantly, countless Sword Lights burst forth like rain, temporarily trapping the Poison Dragon Python.

Meng Quyi was overjoyed at the sight, and his hand holding the two-foot-long Spring and Autumn Spirit Pen moved like flying, bearing the pattern of a dragon and snake, he actually began writing articles on the spot.

With each archaic and majestic Taiyi Spiritual Text written by the Spirit Pen, a mysterious and unfathomable air suddenly faintly emerged in the void.

At the same time, Zhao Sheng and Fang Weishan exchanged glances and leapt towards the four Second Order Black Poison Pythons below them.

Zhao Sheng's expression was impassive. With a pinch of his right hand's sword formula, the Golden Essence Flying Sword flashed and disappeared; in the next instant, layers of Sword Light emerged from nowhere, forming a sharp sword circle that ensnared two Black Poison Pythons within it.

With a wave of his other hand, two Second Order Water Mine Talismans left his hand and instantly transformed into two giant, azure Thunder Balls that shot out.

The two Second Order Black Poison Pythons below were extremely cunning as they intertwined with each other, suddenly condensing into a twist, their bodies instantly flashed with a layer of black light. After joining forces, they easily resisted the assault of the Sword Light.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng's eyebrows rose, and with a move of his Divine Sense, the two Thunder Balls thunderously collided with them, immediately exploding into a cloud of thunder on the bodies of the two Black Poison Pythons.

Taking advantage of the moment, Zhao Sheng soared up, keeping his distance while using his Spiritual Artifact Flying Sword to lure the frenzied and irrational demon pythons away from the battlefield.

His task was to temporarily hold off the two Second Order Demon Pythons, not to slay them.

The difficulty between holding off and slaying were worlds apart; Zhao Sheng certainly wasn't going to risk his life against two equal-ranked demon pythons for a mere reward.

At the same time, Fang Weishan employed a flock of White-winged Sea Gulls to temporarily entrap the two Demon Pythons.

With a "bang"!

Sword Light flashed, and a long white scar suddenly appeared on the body of the Poison Dragon Python.

At this time, its body was already covered in white scars, some spots where the Scale Armor had cracked even bled, but these were only superficial wounds.

Faced with the Sword Array that clung to it like a festering parasite, the Poison Dragon Python went into a fury, but still couldn't break free from the encirclement for the time being.

As an inexplicable pressure in the void gradually intensified, the Poison Dragon Python also sensed danger.

Roar!

It suddenly let out an angry roar, madness sparking in its serpent eyes, its head and dragon horns suddenly shone with intense black light, which then quickly flowed throughout its body.

"Hiss"

The next second, countless drops of serpent blood seeped out from between its scales, which, upon mixing with the black light, instantly transformed into a dark red glow.

Upon witnessing this, Ge Chen's face drastically changed, but before he could react,

the Poison Dragon Python's body shuddered, and its mysterious black, massive body instantaneously turned from black to dark red.

As the strong scent of blood spread around, the originally massive body of the Poison Dragon Python suddenly swelled, at least doubling in size, and became a true behemoth. A powerful aura, exclusive only to Golden Core Level demons, faintly emanated from it.

"Brother Meng, hurry up!"

Ge Chen, witnessing this scene, was so shocked that his eyes almost burst, his heart hardened, he flipped his hand to produce a Bursting Spirit Pill, and deftly threw it into his mouth and swallowed.

Instantly, his face turned tomato red, so red it seemed to drip blood, and his aura surged dramatically.

"Transform!"

Before his shout ended, nine green flying knives split into trails of blade light,

in an instant, the nearby void flickered with green light, transforming into a dense green net of blades.

Suddenly, blade lights fell like rain, instantly adding countless bone-deep wounds to the Poison Dragon Python's body, from which blood flowed freely.

"Roar, roar!"

The Poison Dragon Python let out continuous low growls, the bloody light on its body surged, and the numerous wounds visibly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It opened its huge bloody mouth and violently spewed a thick dark red column of light upward.

The column of light hit Sword King head-on, and surprisingly easily severed the net of blades, heading straight for Meng Quyi.

Meanwhile, the seven-foot-long mysterious black dragon horn rapidly whitened and thinned, as if something was being consumed.

Meng Quyi, drenched in sweat with a pale face, realizing that mimicking a Taiyi Xiang Long commandment with his Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer cultivation was somewhat forced after all.

"Be careful!"

Seeing the cunning of the Poison Dragon Python, Ge Chen shouted loudly, flinging a fist-sized purple-red stone.

The stone instantly swelled to the size of a house and violently collided with the column of light, blocking it while the purple-red giant stone rapidly corroded the toxic column. It swiftly shrank in size, its surface bubbling up massively, the bubbles bursting forth, releasing a cloud of foul-smelling purple fog.

From a distance, Zhao Sheng saw this scene, his pupils constricted, and instinctively slapped a Second Order Golden Armor Talisman on his body. In the blink of an eye, he was covered by a thick, solid suit of golden light armor.

Just then, the dragon horn on the Poison Dragon Python's head suddenly shone intensely, and a beam of blood light shot out from the tip of the horn,

the speed of the blood light was inconceivable, blurring for a moment, as if piercing through the void, disappearing in an instant.

The next moment, Meng Quyi suddenly let out a piercing scream. There was immediately a hole as wide as a bowl in his chest, with dark red blood light rapidly spreading throughout his body.

In a blink of an eye, a whole living person was corroded by the blood light, turned into a pool of dark red toxic fluid, dripping down to the sea surface.

Not far away, Fang Weishan's face greatly changed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Brother Meng, no—" Ge Chen shouted disconsolately, his expression a mix of shock and anger.

At that critical moment!

The dragon horn on the head of the Poison Dragon Python flickered continuously, and three streaks of blood light flashed and were gone in an instant.

Zhao Sheng, Ge Chen, Fang Weishan's faces drastically changed.
