After devouring one of the gray wolves, the Golden-crowned Python looked at another one and acted quickly.
A strange feeling arose in He Yiming's heart as he looked at the terrifying mouth that was opened to the extreme.
Spirit beasts were intelligent, but it was obvious that the Golden-crowned Python, which had a low rank, did not have high intelligence either. It was very vigilant and careful, but in the end, it chose to let go of its guard in front of food and devoured the food of unknown origins.
Of course, this was also related to his grandfather and the others' brilliant methods. If they did not set it up meticulously, the effect would not have been so good.
The Golden-crowned Python's appetite was unusually huge, and it was far beyond He Yiming's expectations.
The 3 gray wolves and the wild boar were all devoured by it. Its waist, which was originally as thick as a water bucket, became even bigger.
Nevertheless, after devouring so many things, the giant python's movements were obviously much slower. Its body, which was over 10 meters long, became a huge burden, and He Yiming was worried that its stomach would explode on the spot.
Slowly, the Golden-crowned Python turned around. It seemed like it wanted to cancel its activities outside and enter its nest.
Once it entered its nest, it would not come out unless it digested all the things in its stomach.
Since the He family's people had been waiting here since last night, how could they let it return so easily?
Old man He Wude suddenly let out a long howl and swaggered out from behind the huge tree.
When the Golden-crowned Python heard the old man's whistle, it instantly stopped moving. In particular, its small eyes looked in the old man's direction, and its tongue flicked faster in and out of its mouth. It seemed to have sensed something, and its humongous body slowly gathered in the center.
If it was a normal python, even if it was over 10 meters long, after devouring so many ferocious beasts, it would not be able to form a snake formation again. However, this Golden-crowned Python was indeed a natural-born spirit beast. Its humongous body was forcefully bent over, and it actually formed a huge snake formation again.
He Yiming was secretly shocked. This giant python's body was truly too strong. Even if its internal organs were strong, it was definitely not inferior to a high-level cultivator's. Otherwise, it would not be able to do this.
Old Man He's eyes were like lightning, and he held a huge machete in his hand.
The handle of the machete was over 2 meters long, and the head was over 1 meter long. Together, it was almost 4 meters long. The machete was made of steel and weighed over 360 kilograms. It was far heavier than the walking stick in the Cheng residence's hands.
When the old man was young, he was born with divine strength, which was why he could wield such a heavy machete. However, after the He family's second generation grew up, the old man rarely used his hands. This gigantic machete had long disappeared from Taicang County. It was only when the old man was extremely excited that he would occasionally take it out to play.
He Yiming was extremely envious of this machete. After he cultivated the Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms, he also had the ability to use a machete, but he never had a suitable weapon. Moreover, he did not know why, but when ordinary weapons fell into his hands, he always felt that they were too light. Only this machete suited his taste.
However, if he wanted to obtain the inheritance of this machete, it would not be an easy task. Moreover, with his strength, he could not use it without using his inner strength.
Holding this machete, Old Man He's body suddenly surged with an incomparably powerful aura. This was the aura of someone who had experienced countless bloody storms and stood out from the test of violent winds and huge waves.
Under this aura, even the Golden-crowned Python, a spirit beast, did not dare to underestimate it.
Just like that, Old Man He stood 10 meters away from the Golden-crowned Python, and they confronted each other.
The old man had a grave look on his face, and his body was as still as a mountain as though he was a wooden statue.
On the other hand, the giant python opposite him did not move at all apart from flicking its tongue in and out of its mouth. If one were to compete with a snake in terms of patience, especially an intelligent spirit beast, one would certainly be courting death.
Nevertheless, after an hour, the Golden-crowned Python was the first to give in.
The four prey inside its body had begun to melt, and the medicine in its body began to take effect.
It was a medicine that He Wude specially concocted for the giant python to swallow, so it was naturally not poisonous. Nevertheless, it was a highly effective anesthetic, which had an extremely strong dizzying effect. Even a spirit beast could not be spared from it.
Therefore, when the medicine gradually took effect, the Golden-crowned Python immediately knew that something was wrong.
A cold light flickered in its small eyes, and it suddenly widened its mouth to bite Old Man He at the speed of lightning.
This sudden rise of the rabbit and fall of the falcon without any warning immediately caused everyone's heart to be in their mouths. Even so, Old Man He was not distracted at all. If he dared to be distracted when facing a spirit beast, he would truly be tired of living.
The old man roared abruptly and held his saber horizontally. With the tip of the saber facing upwards, he swung it at the python like an iron rod.
An unimaginably forceful power blew up the fallen leaves in the forest, causing an intense sound to be heard as the saber slammed into the Golden-crowned Python's mouth.
With a loud bang, the old man could no longer stand steadily. He stomped his feet forward and his body flew backwards. However, even though he was in the air, his body was still extremely agile. He stepped on the tree twice and immediately dispelled the huge force.
In front of him, the Golden-crowned Python only paused for a moment before it continued to charge at him without being harmed.
He Yiming and the others all sucked in a breath of cold air. Although everyone knew beforehand that this fellow was difficult to deal with, no one expected it to be so difficult to deal with.
With Old Man He's strength, he actually did not injure the python after using all his strength with a weapon. This was too amazing.
He Wude was in mid-air when he suddenly shouted, "Third-generation disciples, back off. Don't attack. Quan Xin, the four of you attack separately. Don't fight it head-on. We'll hold it back and wait for the medicine to take effect."
He originally wanted the third-generation disciples to come out and experience it, but after understanding the fellow's strength, he immediately dismissed the idea.
He Quan Xin, his brothers, and He Laibao immediately jumped out. The four of them held long weapons in their hands and surrounded the giant python. From time to time, they would provoke it, but they definitely did not dare to have any contact with this enormous creature.
Only Old Man He held his saber and occasionally fought with all his strength. However, after a fight, he immediately flew back a few meters. He definitely did not dare to fight a second time.
After fighting like this for a long time, the golden-crowned python's speed and reaction actually showed signs of slowing down. Everyone immediately understood that the medicine was indeed slowly taking effect.
There was a trace of excitement in everyone's eyes. Even the few juniors who were watching from the side were the same.
Although the golden-crowned python was a spirit beast, and an extremely powerful one at that, if it were to fight force with force, even with Old Man He's tenth layer inner strength cultivation, he would not be able to resist. However, its intelligence could not be compared to a human's. Under the premise that it was plotted against, its fate was actually predetermined.
Perhaps it felt that something was wrong, but the golden-crowned python no longer paid attention to the four people who were causing trouble at the side. After this period of fighting, it also knew that with the strength of He Quan Xin and the others, there was no way they could cause any fatal damage to it. Only the old man with the saber could pose a great threat to it.
The golden-crowned python was different from other snakes. Its toughest part was its head, which had a corolla growing on it. Therefore, no matter where Old Man He turned, its head was firmly locked on to him. As for the other people who hit its body, although it was painful, it did not care about that.
However, when it gradually felt sleepy, its head turned and no longer paid attention to Old Man He. Instead, it wanted to go back the way it came.
Old Man He suddenly stepped forward and heavily chopped at the python's body with his saber.
A series of sparks flew from the saber. Even such a heavy blow did not cut the python's body in half. It was clear how tough the python's skin was and how it was not damaged in the slightest.
However, this heavy blow was clearly not easy to deal with. The golden-crowned python's body, which had been affected by the medicine's corrosion, suddenly trembled. The heart-wrenching pain seemed to have allowed it to temporarily escape the effects of the anesthetic, and it became as fast as the wind again.
Its head actually left the ground, and its pair of beady eyes emitted an extremely ferocious cold light as it pounced towards the old man like it was flying.
Although He Wude's earlier blow had severely injured the golden-crowned python, his hands were slightly numb from the recoil. However, he didn't expect the snake to counterattack so quickly.
Seeing the python's huge mouth coming at him, He Wude exerted strength in his legs and retreated as fast as he could. He also held his saber horizontally, wanting to use the momentum to fly away.
However, this time, the golden-crowned python was in extreme pain. Even the golden crown on its head seemed to have grown a little bigger.
When its head collided with the saber, He Wude could no longer hold on. Blood flowed from the webbing between his thumb and index finger. The saber flew out of his hand and into the distance. He lost control of his body and crashed heavily into the huge tree behind him.
His chest and abdomen boiled, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
However, the golden-crowned python's mouth did not slow down. Instead, it pounced at him even faster.
A trace of bitterness appeared in He Wude's eyes. He suddenly realized that he had been too greedy …
Spirit beasts, no matter how weak they were, were not something that an ordinary tenth stage inner force expert could hunt.
Greed. He did not expect that after living for so long, he would still be ruined by greed in the end!
His heart was surging with emotions. At this moment, he was not thinking about his own death. Instead, he was thinking about what kind of predicament the He Family Village would be in after he died.
He hoped that Quan Xin and the rest could restrain themselves and not have any ideas about this spirit beast. As long as they were still around, the He Family Village could continue to be passed down.
His eyes started to blur. The huge snake's head kept coming closer. He could clearly hear the terrified cries of his children, grandchildren, and old servant Lai Bao …
However, at this moment, his vision darkened. The sunlight that shone through the gaps between the tall and dense leaves seemed to be blocked by something.
In a daze, he saw a back. It was not tall but at this moment, it was as heavy as a mountain.
In a daze, he saw a light. It was not wide, but at this moment, it was so bright and dazzling …
