Wang Baole had been quite a distance away, and he had been busy resealing the Rune, which was why he had arrived a little later. However, he had been extremely anxious, which was why he had not only pushed the cruiser to its maximum speed, but also unleashed the full power of his physical body as he closed in on the python.
Using the speed of the airship and his own, he left behind a series of afterimages as he charged through the air. His entire psychic aura seemed to fuse with the saber, causing the black crocodile to become clearer than ever in the windstorm. Rumbling sounds filled the air as the crocodile passed by the retreating crowd and closed in on the giant python.
The python's sound waves might have been effective on the others, but Wang Baole, who possessed the Underworld Flame, was able to resist the power of the Underworld Magic contained within the sound waves. However, the sound waves were also reinforced by the python's Cultivation base. Therefore, when he closed in on the python, he felt as if his body was about to be torn apart.
At this moment, the Green Lotus in his body fully displayed its effects. Wang Baole's physical body began to recover at an astonishing rate. As soon as the tear appeared, it immediately healed, allowing Wang Baole to keep his body from being damaged. However, the process was extremely painful. At this moment, Wang Baole couldn't be bothered with anything else. He roared, and under the shocked gazes of the people around him, he swung his saber down toward the python's injured head!
The sky and earth dimmed, and the wind and clouds churned. Wang Baole's saber slashed down with all his might, landing on the wound on the python's head. From a distance, it was possible to see a black crocodile biting down on the python's head wound, as if it wanted to tear it apart!!
If it had been made of flesh and blood, the python would definitely have let out a shrill cry of agony. However, it was just a puppet, so it didn't feel pain. It only had instinctive awareness. At this moment, it felt an intense sense of danger. The instant its head was cut off and injured again, its eyes shone with Chen Mu's madness.
"Wang Baole, die!!" As Chen Mu roared in the secret chamber where he was in seclusion, the giant python under his control let out a deafening roar. It swept its injured tail and charged towards Wang Baole instantly. It looked like it was determined to kill Wang Baole even if it had to bear the brunt of the attack!
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. When he saw the python's tail approaching, Wang Baole's eyes shone with a cold light, and he softly uttered a word.
"Suppress!"
With that one word, the new city's Great Formation, despite being damaged, began to activate. It gathered a shocking force, as if suppressing and imprisoning it enveloped the python's body!
In reality, if not for the fact that the new city's Great Formation was damaged for some unknown reason and had to withstand the corrosion of the blood-colored fog, as well as the impact of the python, any one of these factors could have caused the Great Formation to erupt and resolve the new city's crisis.
However, with these three problems occurring consecutively, the Great Formation could only barely function. Furthermore, Wang Baole didn't dare to overload it. Once the Great Formation collapsed, the blood-colored fog would seep in, and the price would be too great.
Hence, at this moment, he only borrowed some force to form a suppressive force. The python's body trembled violently. Taking advantage of this pause, Wang Baole sighed softly in his heart. He endured the pain in his heart, and his eyes shone with determination. He released the Dharmic Armament and retreated, roaring loudly.
"Explode!!!"
As Wang Baole spoke, the Dharmic Armament saber that had slashed the python's head immediately emitted a shockingly high temperature. All the inscriptions on the saber became chaotic at that moment, and a destructive aura spread out from within. In the blink of an eye, a deafening sound reverberated in the air, and the Dharmic Armament shattered into pieces and collapsed!
The destructive power within it swept towards the giant python like a storm. The shards of the Dharmic Armament also shot out and almost all of them pierced into the giant python's head. At that moment, its body seemed to be on the verge of shattering. A large amount of Blood Qi gushed out from its body like fresh blood.
From afar, one could see that the black crocodile seemed to be displaying the final glory of its life. At the moment of the Dharmic Armament's self-destruction, its figure became extremely clear, as though it had come back to life. It expanded endlessly and swallowed the python. For a moment, the fog churned, and outsiders couldn't see what was going on. They could only vaguely see that the python and crocodile were tearing at each other in a frenzy!
At the moment of the devouring and blurring, a deafening sound that was even louder than before reverberated in the air again. The booming sound shook the surroundings, causing the weather to change. As the wind and clouds churned, a violent shockwave spread out in all directions.
Fortunately, Wang Baole had initiated the detonation of the Dharmic Armament, and his physical body was strong. While he dodged in time, he also activated the power of the Great Formation to protect himself. Even so, he was still affected by the shockwave and spat out blood as he retreated pathetically.
As he retreated, the Dharmic Armament's self-destruction reverberated in the air. Finally, a cracking sound came from the gigantic python's body. However, before the crowd could heave a sigh of relief, the gigantic python let out a roar for the first time in the fog formed by the Dharmic Armament's self-destruction!
The roar spread out in all directions. It didn't sound like the roar of a beast, but more like the roar of a person in a frenzy. As the roar reverberated in the air, the heavily injured python emitted even more blood-colored fog. The fog didn't disperse, but condensed into a gigantic illusory python head. In one gulp … it swallowed the black crocodile's figure!
This sudden scene immediately caused the crowd's expressions to change. The continuous attacks just now had already pushed them to their limits. They had practically used all their trump cards, and Wang Baole had even self-destructed his Dharmic Armament. Even so, the python had still managed to turn the situation around.
The huge difference in cultivation between the two parties couldn't be made up with numbers. Just as the crowd was trembling in fear, after the python swallowed the crocodile, its body emitted an endless amount of blood-colored Qi. It was filled with ferocity, and even its eyes turned red. It charged out of the fog, and its target was … Wang Baole!
Faintly, although it didn't make any sound, anyone who saw the python seemed to be able to sense the murderous aura and murderous intent emanating from the python's body!
Its speed was too fast. Even though Wang Baole's speed wasn't bad and he had retreated in advance, everyone could still see the python rapidly closing the distance between them. At the same time, the waves of cultivation on its body exploded in a large area. From afar, it seemed to have transformed into a blood-colored sun that wanted to burn all living things!
Wang Baole's mind buzzed, and his breathing was extremely rapid. However, he didn't have time to think too much at that moment. The python's reflection was clearly reflected in his eyes as it approached from afar, and it was getting bigger and bigger!
The intense sense of danger made him instinctively control the array formation to block it. Even though the new city hadn't finished transforming, he still subconsciously summoned the new city to activate … the Eternal Fortress!
Naturally, no one could see the signs of resistance. At that moment, in the eyes of the outsiders, Wang Baole, who was being targeted by the python, had no chance of escaping. Whether it was Kim Do-myung, Kongdao, Lin Tianhao, or the surrounding Core Formation realm cultivators, there was no way they could save him …
It was as if … this time, Wang Baole was definitely going to die!
That was why the black-robed man, who had been watching everything from afar, chose to approach. His figure appeared at the top of a tall building not far from the battlefield. As he watched Wang Baole's imminent death, a smile finally appeared on his face, which was covered by his robe.
At the same time, a strange and greedy light shone in his eyes. Even his body exuded an icy aura. The reason he chose to approach Wang Baole at the moment of his death was because he wanted to see if there was a chance for him to absorb the Dark Fire in Wang Baole's body at the moment of Wang Baole's death!
The black-robed man knew very well that the Dark Fire was the symbol of a Dark Child. It was also where the qualifications lay, and it wasn't like this qualification couldn't be transferred. At the moment of a Dark Child's death, there was still a chance to devour the Dark Fire and make it his own.
"Once I succeed …." The black-robed man's eyes shone with intense desire. Without even realizing it, he began to move closer. However, even as he neared, and looked over at the battlefield … something unexpected and inconceivable happened!
It wasn't due to the obstruction of the array, nor was it due to the activation of the Eternal Fortress. Instead, at the moment when the two were about to explode, the giant python that was charging towards Wang Baole with a monstrous murderous aura suddenly stopped thirty meters away from Wang Baole. Its huge head turned around in disbelief and looked … in the direction of the black-robed man that no one could see!
The moment it looked … it actually stuck out its tongue and licked its lips. Its originally gloomy eyes actually showed signs of struggle at this moment, as if some kind of instinct was about to awaken in its body!
