Xu Chong breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that this person wouldn't agree to help. If that was the case, they could only watch the Tiangang Sect fall into danger.
As a powerhouse of the alliance, they could have internal strife and disputes, but they didn't want to see someone die.
"There's no need for everyone to do it. Elder Xu, Mo, you two cooperate with the masters of the Tiangang Sect. Even if you can't kill this green-scaled giant python, it won't be a problem to force it to make way!" Su Yin said.
Wu Yuan and the others were too weak. Even if they rushed up, they wouldn't be able to do anything. Only the two of them had the strength to fight. As for Donkey and the others, they were their trump cards. The others also specifically told them not to reveal their strength.
Hearing Zhang Xuan's instructions, Elder Xu and Mo Yuan soared into the sky on their swords and flew over.
"You're courting death!"
While facing off, the green-scaled giant python was observing. When it saw Elder Xu and Mo Yuan flying over, it immediately understood what was going on. It immediately narrowed its eyes, roared, and spat out poisonous gas from its mouth again.
At the same time, its thick tail slammed down on the light shield above the flying boat.
"Evil creature, how dare you!" Mo Yuan's face darkened.
He had reached the fourth level of Inheritance, and his speed was very fast. As he shouted, he had already appeared in front of the giant python. With a flip of his wrist, the Bright Moon Cauldron appeared and smashed down directly.
Clang!
The magic treasure that had reached the perfection level smashed on the tail of the green-scaled giant python. With a loud bang, the latter's blood splashed and dragon scales fell off.
He didn't expect this person to be so powerful. The master of the Tiangang Sect narrowed his eyes.
No wonder he could drive such a big flying boat and run so fast. After all this trouble, he turned out to be a super powerhouse of the fourth level of Inheritance!
"Let's attack together!"
Knowing that the opportunity would not come again, the master of the Tiangang Sect roared and rushed out of the flying boat's protective shield. A long sword floated in his hand, and he slashed at the giant python.
The six elders on the deck also attacked, and a powerful force gathered into one.
Although the green-scaled giant python was powerful, it couldn't bear the joint attack of so many powerhouses. Its flesh and blood splattered everywhere, and its unstable scales were stained with blood and splashed everywhere.
However, the few people who had joined forces were also shaken by this big guy's monstrous strength. Their faces were pale.
No wonder the Alliance was unwilling to send someone to kill him. This guy was indeed difficult to deal with. Even if Mo Yuan had reached the fourth layer of the Inheritance Realm and possessed a consummate-level talisman, it would still be difficult for him to win alone.
Knowing that it was in grave danger, the Green-scaled Python suddenly roared furiously. Hearing its roar, the massive snakes floating in the surroundings immediately rushed over.
"You have to get past me first!"
Xu Chong's eyebrows shot up as he walked up to Zhang Xuan. He pushed his palm forward, and a palm imprint appeared in the air, forming a barrier.
Dozens of Divinity Realm pythons slammed into the walls of Zhen Yuan, creating a violent roar. The air whimpered and the aftermath surged.
Seeing that its subordinates were blocked, the green-scaled python curled its tail, uprooted a big tree on the mountain peak, and threw it at the wall of the Zhen Yuan.
Even though it was just an ordinary tree, when combined with the strength of a peak Inherited Realm 3-dan, its speed was so fast that it seemed as if it had teleported. It immediately appeared before Xu Chong. Xu Chong's body trembled, and he retreated continuously.
"Kacha!" Zhen Yuan's handprint could no longer be maintained and immediately collapsed.
"Pfft!"
Xu Chong panted heavily as blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Six Inheritors and three Grandmasters working together could not take down this strange snake!
"So powerful …"
"This is the Inherited Realm?"
"How terrifying!"
The disciples on the two flying boats were all dumbfounded and speechless.
A battle between Inherited Realm experts!
Those who possessed such strength were all high-ranking officials in the Great Yan State. Even if there were occasional competitions, it would not be a life-and-death battle. It could be said that not even the many elders of the Tiangang Sect had seen such an intense battle, let alone the disciples.
"It's on the verge of breaking through. It won't be able to maintain its strength for long …" The Tiangang Sect Leader shouted as he panted heavily.
"Alright!"
Mo Yuan and the other elders of the Heavenly Dipper Sect gathered around.
"You guys deal with it. I'll deal with these small ones first!"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows as a high-grade spiritual longsword appeared in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, the sword Qi quickly slashed at the Divinity Realm python that was charging at him.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! "
The three-headed python's head fell from the sky.
"Frosty Cold Sword!"
Xu Chong charged forward again. The sword Qi became even colder.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! "
Another three-headed python was killed.
It was difficult for an Inherited Realm expert to fight against someone of the same level, but it was easy for him to kill a Divinity Realm expert. In less than two breaths, he had killed more than eight pythons.
Roar! Roar!
Roar! Seeing that its subordinates were killed one by one, the green-scaled python was completely enraged. It roared and charged at Mo Yuan.
It knew that this person had the highest cultivation and was the strongest. As long as it killed him, the others would not be a threat.
"You're courting death!"
Mo Yuan sneered when he saw the python charging at him. The Bright Moon Cauldron fell from the sky and aimed at the python's head.
"Buzz!"
Once the cauldron was hit with all his strength, even a Level Six Inherited Realm expert would not be able to withstand it.
"It's dead …" Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Just as they thought that the python would be smashed into a meat patty and die on the spot, they saw the python's head suddenly move. A pair of antlers pierced through two dragon scales and came out.
Boom!
The Bright Moon Cauldron collided with the antlers, but the python's head only tilted. It did not break, and there were no cracks on it.
"Dragon horns? This is bad … This fellow is using our pressure to break through … "Mo Yuan's eyes narrowed, and his heart immediately turned cold.
He thought that with so many people attacking together and with the Bright Moon Cauldron, the python would not be able to withstand it. He did not expect that the python would become stronger instead of weaker.
When a python transforms into a flood dragon, it first sheds its scales, then grows its dragon horns, and finally, it grows its dragon claws. Just now, they had beaten the scales off the other party, intending to injure it. Who would have thought that they would end up helping it instead?
With the dragon horns, the green-scaled python's aura increased greatly. It suddenly opened its mouth, and a green-gray gas immediately gushed out.
"Retreat!"
Knowing that the gas was highly toxic, and that even a Level Four Inherited Realm expert would not be able to withstand it, Mo Yuan grabbed the Bright Moon Cauldron and flew back.
The people of Tiangang Sect also reacted quickly, and they all dodged.
Roar!
After forcing the crowd back, the green-scaled python charged toward Xu Chong. Before it could reach the latter, it released a poisonous gas.
"Damn it …"
Holding his breath, Xu Chong did not dare to stop either. Seeing that the crowd had left, the green-scaled python did not pursue them. Instead, it opened its mouth and inhaled deeply.
Boom!
As if a hurricane, the corpses of the pythons that Xu Chong had killed were sucked into its mouth. In an instant, the python's mouth expanded to ten meters wide, and it swallowed them whole.
Boom!
After swallowing more than a dozen Divinity realm demonic snakes, the green-scaled python's body swelled. Initially, it was only as thick as a water jar, but at this moment, its size increased twofold. The scales that were still intact all fell off, and its aura grew stronger and stronger.
"It's going to evolve into a flood dragon …"
With a livid face, Xu Chong shouted.
The green-scaled python was already on the verge of breaking through, and if everything went according to plan, it would succeed within a month … However, under the immense pressure of being surrounded by them, it had shed its scales and sprouted its horns. At this moment, it was actually intending to devour its companions to force a breakthrough!
Due to the impure demonic energy in their demonic beasts, it was unlikely that it would be able to achieve a breakthrough. Thus, it would rather take the risk of intercepting the cultivators instead of doing so.
But now … it had no other choice!
A 4-dan Heritage realm cultivator, a 3-dan Heritage realm cultivator, and four 1-dan Heritage realm cultivators wielding a Spirit artifact … Even when it was at its peak, it would have found it difficult to deal with such a lineup, needless to say, its current state.
Furthermore, it had chased after the flying ship for so long, and it would be difficult for it to return to its nest. Rather than being killed, it might as well take a gamble. In the end, it was right!
"Hurry up and make a move, or else it'll be too late …"
The sect leader of Tiangang Sect raised his sword and was about to charge forward when he suddenly felt a powerful force stopping him.
Turning around, he saw Xu Chong shaking his head grimly. "There's no need for you to go. It's already too late! Retreat! "
After which, he ignored the sect leader and flew straight back to the ship. Mo Yuan sighed and followed closely behind him.
Seeing the two experts turn around and leave, the sect leader of Tiangang Sect turned to look at the massive python once more. Unknowingly, a black ominous cloud had already appeared in the sky above it.
"Let's go!"
Recalling something, the sect leader's eyes narrowed. Not daring to linger any longer, he rushed onto the flying ship and drove it into the distance. After flying for a distance, he finally came to a halt and turned around once more.
The ominous cloud above the green-scaled python had already gathered densely, covering an area of around ten mu. Streaks of lightning danced within it, ready to strike at any moment.
"What's going on?" Su Yin asked doubtfully.
Even though it was difficult for them to defeat it previously, it shouldn't have been that easy either. Why did they all retreat?
"It's the Flood Serpent Transformation Ordeal!"
Exhaling deeply, Xu Chong's gaze turned grim. "Dragons are the noblest and most powerful creatures in the world. Even though the transformation of a python into a Flood Serpent doesn't mean that it will transform into a dragon, it is equivalent to possessing the bloodline of a dragon. Once it succeeds, its life essence will undergo a massive transformation! Such a situation isn't permitted by the heavens, so … once it appears, a lightning tribulation will appear in the sky!
"If it can overcome the lightning tribulation, it will become a true Flood Serpent, and its lifespan will be increased by at least a thousand years. If it can't overcome the lightning tribulation, it will be reduced to dust, and its body will perish!"
Su Yin was astonished.
He didn't know that the transformation of a Flood Serpent would result in a lightning tribulation.
But that's not right!
Why do I feel like I've seen such a sight before?
One night, Donkey seemed to have encountered something similar. While eating grass, he was struck by lightning … Back then, he was tasting wine, and his head was dizzy from drinking too much. The next day, when he realized that Donkey was completely fine, he thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Could it be true?
His donkey had been struck by lightning before?
But … when a python is struck by lightning, it transforms into a Flood Serpent. How can a donkey transform into anything? He turned to look at Xiao Wu and the old tortoise. Those two fellows had probably been struck by lightning as well … it was just that he didn't know about it!
Otherwise, how could an ordinary beast possess such incredible strength?
…
Just as Su Yin guessed, Donkey, the tortoise, and the parrot looked at the dark clouds in the sky and were stunned for a moment. Then, they gathered together and whispered to each other.
"I think I've experienced this before!"
"Yeah, that day, I ate too much grass and was a little bloated. Then, this thing came. After being struck a few times, I burped and felt much better! I really miss this feeling. "
"I encountered it when I was eating Master's grilled fish. All of them landed on the tortoise shell and left special patterns. That's how I was able to comprehend lightning!"
"I was more miserable. I didn't pay attention at first and was struck into the quagmire, dirtying my feathers … However, the power seems to be inferior to Lao Mian's."
"When we reach the place, Lao Mian will strike me a few times. I haven't had a massage for a long time. My body is a little itchy!"
"Alright, massage, I'm a professional!"
"…"
Hearing these conversations, The Great Demon of Bliss opened its mouth and couldn't close it.
That's lightning, the punishment for those who violate the rules of the world … There's no cultivator who isn't afraid of it. Why does it sound like these three fellows have found a technician?
Does it feel like the strength isn't enough, so it wants to add more time …
…
Oblivious to their discussion, Wu Yuan saw the lightning in the sky and the dark clouds getting thicker and thicker. He couldn't help but look over.
"Why aren't we stopping it? Once it succeeds in transforming into a Flood Dragon, how are we going to defend against it? "
Transforming into a Flood Dragon is different from the advancement of ordinary demonic beasts. It is equivalent to a change in the nature of one's life. Once it succeeds, not only will the fellow before him reach Heritage 3-dan, it will also be easy for him to reach Heritage 4-dan and 5-dan!
It is highly likely that he will become a 7-dan expert. Even though it is only a small realm away from 6-dan, it is a transformation from intermediate to advanced. The difference is huge!
After reaching Zongshi realm, every three small realms is a tier. Just like the previous major realms, there is a huge difference between heaven and earth.
Thus, once it succeeds in transforming into a Flood Dragon, even Mo Yuan, Xu Chong, and the others together won't be a match for it.
"The Lightning Tribulation is the will of the world. It's impossible to stop it. If we dared to make a move on the Green-scaled Python, the lightning might have gone berserk on us …"
Xu Chong smiled bitterly.
It is not that I don't want to, but I can't!
The Flood Dragon Tribulation represents the punishment of the world to the python. If you were to interrupt it, it would be equivalent to going against the will of the world … Even Heritage realm experts don't have the guts to do so.
Boom!
While they were conversing, the dark clouds gathered enough energy and a bolt of lightning as thick as a water bucket struck down. Before it even reached the python, a charred smell wafted from the sky, as though the air was being burnt.
Gritting its teeth, the Green-scaled Python roared. Instead of dodging, it charged forward.
Pilipala!
The lightning struck down, and the already cracked dragon scales were torn apart once more. Fresh blood dripped down continuously, and the powerful aura of the python also weakened significantly.
Even though it was severely injured, the scales of the Green-scaled Python became tougher and more solid. It seemed to be undergoing some kind of slow transformation.
Kacha!
Another bolt of lightning struck down. The Green-scaled Python was no longer as ferocious as before. It struggled to its feet and lashed out with its thick tail.
With a tearing sound, its tail was blasted apart, and three claws emerged from its scales.
Under the two Lightning Tribulations, the Green-scaled Python had completely transformed into a Flood Dragon.
In an instant, its weakened aura began to rise once more.
Seemingly sensing that the python was going against its will, the Great Dao grew even more furious. The dark clouds expanded from a dozen mu to thirty mu, and the lightning within became even more violent.
"There are a total of three Tribulations of Flood Dragon Transformation. The first one is the Body Shattering Tribulation. The Lightning Tribulations carry the power of tearing apart the demonic beast undergoing the tribulation. For the Green-scaled Python, as long as it can withstand the Body Shattering Tribulation, it will be able to shed its scales and transform into dragon scales!
"The second one is the Blood Severing Tribulation. It attacks one's bloodline. Once one fails to withstand the Blood Severing Tribulation, one's blood essence will combust, and one's blood will explode, resulting in death on the spot. On the other hand, if one manages to withstand the Body Shattering Tribulation, one will be able to evolve into a Flood Dragon Claw, transforming one's bloodline into a Flood Dragon. This is the most important stage of the Flood Dragon Transformation. Once one succeeds, one will be greeted with the most violent strike of the Lightning Tribulations!
"That is, the third one, the Spirit Vanquishing Tribulation! The Spirit Vanquishing Tribulation doesn't attack one's physical body but one's soul. If one's will fails to withstand the Spirit Vanquishing Tribulation, one will die on the spot. Whether one can transform into a Flood Dragon or not depends on the Spirit Vanquishing Tribulation … "
In Xu Chong's introduction, the third Lightning Tribulations had already finished gathering and could strike down at any moment.
Below, the Green-scaled Python lifted its head weakly. It wanted to resist, but it was unable to do so.
Its bloodline had transformed, and it had grown dragon horns and dragon claws. Although its bloodline had changed, the transformation was not complete, and it was at its weakest.
"It shouldn't be able to withstand it. Once it dies, I'll immediately rush over and snatch the corpse. The few of you just need to help me block it for three breaths of time. That will be enough …"
Narrowing his eyes, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dipper Sect turned his head to look at the few elders.
"This …" An elder's face was grave. "The person on the other side played a decisive role in the battle with the python. It's not too good for us to snatch the corpse away …"
If not for the two people on the opposite ship, not to mention forcing this fellow to undergo the Tribulation on the spot, they might have already been killed!
After receiving such a huge favor, wasn't it too unreasonable to snatch the corpse?
"What do you know!" The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dipper Sect snorted. "This fellow has already transformed into a Flood Dragon. Once it dies, it will be a dragon corpse. Its scales, dragon claws, and dragon horns are all superior-grade Spirit Artifacts. With a little forging, it can reach the pinnacle grade! Dragon meat is even more nourishing. After consuming it, I will have a chance to break through to Inheritance Realm 2-dan, or even higher! As for dragon blood, needless to say, it will be worth a lot if I sell it … "
"It can be said that as long as we obtain this corpse, not only will our Heavenly Dipper Sect be able to maintain our status as a first-rate sect, we might even be able to advance to the third place, or even … the second place!"
The few elders fell silent at the same time.
If it was for personal benefits, they could refuse. However, if it was for the sake of the sect, they really could not refuse.
"Those two are very strong. If we snatch it, I'm afraid that they will be furious. At that time, it won't be easy to deal with them …"
They were only at Inheritance Realm 1-dan. Against Inheritance Realm 3-dan and Inheritance Realm 4-dan, they would not be able to resist at all.
"I have already thought of this."
The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dipper Sect's eyes flashed. "Snatch the dragon corpse and use the fastest speed to leave with the flying ship! As long as we reach the Alliance, who would dare to snatch it? In any case, it's just the two of us. Everyone has their reasons. If they say that we killed him, who can prove it? "
"The Alliance doesn't dare to make a move, but … their flying ship is too fast. I'm afraid that we won't be able to escape!"
"Hehe!" The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dipper Sect sneered. "Even though I don't know what method they used to make a wooden ship fly so fast, it must only be for a short period of time. If it were to fly for a long period of time, how can a wooden structure withstand the pressure? It's one thing if they can't catch up to us, but if they really dare to … we'll just ram into them! As long as we can break them apart and use Sword Kinesis Flight, even a Heritage 4-dan cultivator won't be able to catch up to us! "
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Even though a wooden flying ship could travel at high speed for a short period of time, it was still inferior to a Spirit intermediate-tier flying ship. If they really dared to chase after them, they would just have to ram them head-on!
After the discussion, they turned to look at the green-scaled python, which was undergoing its tribulation.
After the lightning tribulation had finished accumulating, it descended abruptly. The third lightning tribulation was even more magnificent, reaching a diameter of several dozen meters. In an instant, it enveloped the entire python.
Roar!
Knowing that it wouldn't be able to withstand the lightning tribulation, the python roared furiously. Following which, the fog on the Myriad Python Mountain rose up and blocked the lightning tribulation. At the same time, thousands of pythons seemed to have been triggered by some kind of power, and they were shot up one after another, landing between the python and the lightning tribulation.
Kacha!
Thick lightning bolts fell on the fog curtain and the thousands of pythons. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere. Snake blood rained down from the sky like a rainstorm.
"How vicious …" Su Yin narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
All along, he had thought that the python was still rather amiable. However, at this moment, he realized that it was truly vicious.
Knowing that he wouldn't be able to withstand the third lightning tribulation, it made preparations in advance to sacrifice more than a thousand pythons to him!
Seeing this, Zhang Xuan finally understood why the python was able to evolve into a Serpentine Dragon after devouring its juniors.
Being blocked by thousands of pythons, the might of the lightning tribulation had been significantly reduced, such that it was negligible to the python.
The God Vanquishing Tribulation, which should have been the most difficult to deal with, had become the easiest to overcome.
Boom boom boom!
Seeing that the python was using such a petty trick to fend off the lightning tribulation, the storm clouds were infuriated, but they still slowly dissipated.
"The reason why the Serpentine Dragon didn't allow it to evolve into a Serpentine Dragon was because it didn't want any experts to appear. By sacrificing thousands of pythons, it had effectively severed the latter's path to evolution. Thus, the Serpentine Dragon was able to appease the rage of the Serpentine Dragon with its blood and life. Thus, the Serpentine Dragon decided not to pursue the matter any further. Otherwise, if something could block the lightning tribulation, there wouldn't have been so many demonic beasts who failed their tribulations …"
Xu Chong explained.
Su Yin nodded in agreement.
It was no wonder why it was easier for demonic cultivators to cultivate. After all, they could kill as they pleased, not caring about their own lives at all. Perhaps, this made it easier for them to conform to the will of the heavens.
The world was heartless, and it viewed all living beings as nothing more than dogs. If one was willing to pay a sufficient price, it wouldn't be a big deal for one to achieve a breakthrough.
While Zhang Xuan was still deep in thought, a sword qi suddenly streaked across the sky, heading straight for the python that had just undergone its tribulation.
The head of the Celestial Dipper Sect!
Even though the python was still alive after the lightning tribulation, it was still at its weakest. As long as it could be killed, the price of the dragon corpse would be even higher!
"Is that fellow crazy?"
Xu Chong shook his head. "Even though the Green-scaled Python is at its weakest at this moment, it isn't as if it wasn't prepared at all. Isn't it afraid of being poisoned by the poison gas barrier before it?"
Even a Heritage 3-dan expert wouldn't dare to face the poison gas of the python head-on. Yet, this fellow was acting so recklessly.
"He isn't crazy, he's just smart! At this moment, the Green-scaled Python is at its weakest. Once he kills it, its corpse will belong to the Tiangang Sect … "Mo Yuan explained.
As an expert who had once controlled a sect, Zhang Xuan could easily tell what the other party was thinking.
Danger and opportunity existed side by side. Rather than betting on failure, it was better to bet on success.
Weng!
Before the sword Qi could reach the huge python, it was already weakened by the corrosion of the poisonous gas. The speed at which the sword Qi advanced also slowed down significantly. The Sect Master of the Heavenly Dipper Sect raised his eyebrows and a special ripple flowed out of his clothes like water ripples. When the poisonous gas came into contact with it, it immediately dissipated.
"This is one of the strongest treasures of the Tiangang Sect, the Heavenly Essence Frost Garment! It's made from the leaves of the Heavenly Essence Tree and can resist the attacks of poison gas, extreme cold, and extreme heat. However, if it's exposed to such powerful poison gas, its structure will be damaged, and its lifespan will be greatly reduced! "
Xu Chong shook his head.
Weapons also had lifespans. If they were not repaired in time after frequent battles, they would be easily damaged. Even though the Heavenly Essence Frost Garment could resist the poison gas, it was clearly beyond the scope of what it could resist. If it was exposed to it for a long time, its spirituality might be completely obliterated, and it would become scrap.
"He's planning to give up the Heavenly Essence Frost Garment in exchange for a giant dragon corpse! As long as he succeeds, he'll make a huge profit, "Mo Yuan said.
"That's true …" Xu Chong nodded and asked, "Senior Uncle, should we kill the Green-scaled Python now and snatch its corpse?"
"Don't be hasty. I don't believe that this python isn't prepared …" Su Yin smiled faintly.
It had even prepared the sacrifice of the third lightning tribulation. Did it not expect that it would be ambushed when it was weak?
If it hadn't thought of that, it wouldn't have been able to claim the mountain as its king. Even the Alliance couldn't do anything about it.
As expected, before Zhang Xuan could finish his words, the weakened python in the air opened its mouth once more.
Hu!
The poison gas in the surroundings was immediately sucked into its abdomen. Not only did its weakened aura recover in the blink of an eye, it even grew stronger rapidly.
"To think that this poison gas is actually the energy that it has secretly leaked … How vicious! That fellow must have been preparing for this tribulation for at least a decade! "
"It already has sufficient energy to overcome the tribulation, but it has been suppressing it. Every day, it would spit out a little of its energy and use the poison gas to cover it up. That's because this is its own energy, and it doesn't even need to refine it after absorbing it. This way, not only will it be able to replenish its energy, it will also be able to awaken its Serpentine Dragon Bloodline, allowing it to advance its cultivation for a short period of time … "
"The head of the Celestial Dipper Sect is in trouble!"
Mo Yuan and Xu Chong both revealed looks of admiration as realization dawned upon them.
As expected of such a famous demonic beast, it was indeed not simple!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.
"Die!"
The head of the Celestial Dipper Sect also noticed this, and his complexion turned awful. Roaring furiously, he stabbed his sword into the other party's body.
Dang lang! The tip of his sword was stopped by the scales, unable to advance any further.
"Impossible …" The head of the Celestial Dipper Sect narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
He had used his full strength to stab the other party, but he couldn't even pierce through its scales. How could he possibly kill it?
Paying no heed to the head of the Celestial Dipper Sect, a playful smile appeared on its face as it swept its tail once more.
The Sect Leader of the Celestial Dipper Sect received the attack with his sword, but he was unable to block it for even half a breath. With a 'kacha!' sound, the sword field was broken. The face of the Sect Leader of the Celestial Dipper Sect paled. He was struck in the chest and sent flying.
Blood spurted from his mouth as he flew through the air.
"Sect head …" The elders hurriedly rushed forward to welcome him.
"Don't come over …"
The head of the Celestial Dipper Sect gritted his teeth, but before he could finish his words, the massive python had already absorbed all of the poison gas and was flying toward him.
At this moment, the massive python had three claws and a body of scales. It had successfully evolved, and just as he had guessed, its cultivation had reached Heritage 7-dan or even higher!
Huala!
It struck with its claws.
The six elders who had rushed forward tried to block the attack, but in the next moment, they were sent flying. Their faces paled, and fresh blood spurted from their mouths.
Heritage 7-dan was already at advanced Heritage. Putting aside three Heritage 1-dan and three Zongshi realm cultivators, even if they had the same number of Heritage 4-dan cultivators, it would still be impossible for them to defeat it!
"Let's go!"
Knowing that it was impossible for them to obtain the 'dragon corpse', the head of the Celestial Dipper Sect roared as he pulled the injured elders back to the flying ship.
Peng!
But before they could get far, they were blocked by the tail of a serpent. With a light tap of the tail, the flying ship shook violently, as if it would shatter at any moment.
The flying ship was only a Spirit intermediate-tier artifact, so it was impossible for it to withstand the might of a 7-dan Heritage 7-dan python. Knowing that the ship would surely shatter at this rate, the head of the Celestial Dipper Sect bellowed.
"Seniors, please make a move …"
Su Yin nodded. With a grim expression, Mo Yuan sent the Luminous Moon Cauldron crashing down once more.
Not daring to face the attack head-on, the green-scaled serpent dodged the attack and clashed with Xu Chong and Mo Yuan. The former had reached Heritage 7-dan, and it had successfully transformed into a Serpent, granting it an impenetrable defense. Even though Mo Yuan and Xu Chong had many means up their sleeves, they were still no match for it. In less than ten breaths, they were already forced to retreat.
"Sect Leader, should we help them?"
Panting heavily, one of the elders of the Celestial Dipper Sect asked.
Taking a deep breath, the head of the Celestial Dipper Sect said, "The Celestial Dipper Sect is going to be held soon, so we can't afford to be too severely injured. Besides, we won't be a match for it even if we go there. Let's get ready to escape!"
"So, we're just going to leave them be? If not for them, we would have been dead by now … "
"It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't!" The head of the Celestial Dipper Sect shook his head. "As the head of the Celestial Dipper Sect, I have to think for the sect. Let's go!"
After saying those words, the flying ship beneath them swayed slightly, and they immediately changed direction, fleeing into the distance.
"This …"
Not expecting the other party to make such a decision, Mo Yuan and the others were taken aback. Xu Chong even cursed furiously, "Damn it! How shameless of him … "
When there was an opportunity for him to take advantage of the situation, he charged straight for it. When they met with danger, they stepped in to save him, but that fellow turned around and fled … How shameless!
He had lost all of his dignity as a cultivator!
"This concerns the evaluation of the sect, so there's nothing he can do …" Mo Yuan shook his head.
This was the reason why he didn't save Junior Liu back then, causing Sun Zhao to bear a grudge against him for a hundred years.
Everything he did … was for the sake of the sect!
"Flee? Do you think that you can escape? "
The green-scaled serpent harrumphed coldly as it whipped its thick tail.
A surge of energy reminiscent of lightning shot toward the fleeing flying ship. With just a single strike, the flying ship of the Celestial Dipper Sect was sent tumbling before crashing into the mountain range, creating a huge crater.
After doing all of this, the green-scaled serpent spat out a poisonous gas to block Mo Yuan and Xu Chong. With a slight sway, it arrived before them.
It didn't bear any grudges against Mo Yuan and the others. On the other hand, if not for these fellows being prepared in advance, they might have really been killed today. Thus, it whipped its tail once more.
The sect leader of the Celestial Dipper Sect drove the flying ship with all of his might, barely dodging the fatal blow. He wanted to flee, but he realized that the serpent had already sealed off their surroundings.
"We'll die here …" one of the disciples said with a pale face. The surroundings fell silent.
To be blocked by a 7-dan Heritage Serpent Dragon … Escaping had become an extravagant hope.
"There's still a chance …" the sect leader of the Celestial Dipper Sect said.
Everyone was stunned. How could there be a chance? Why didn't I see it …
"As long as we can get those two experts to fight with their lives on the line, no matter how powerful the green-scaled serpent is, it should be able to hold it back for a moment.
The sect leader of the Celestial Dipper Sect said.
"This …" The elders smiled bitterly. "One of them is at 4-dan Heritage while the other is at 3-dan, and they both have powerful weapons. If they fight with their lives on the line, they should be able to hold the serpent back for some time. But … why would they do that? The serpent wants to kill us the most right now … "
"They won't take the initiative to do so, but I have a way to make them do so."
Taking a deep breath, the sect leader of the Celestial Dipper Sect clenched his fists tightly. A vicious glint flashed across his eyes. "Destroy their flying ship so that the people on it won't be able to escape. In order to save them, those two experts will surely go all out!"
"This …"
Everyone was stunned.
It was indeed possible, but it was too vicious. No matter what, the other party was their savior. Doing so was equivalent to pushing them to their deaths …
"A great man must be ruthless. If we don't do this, not only will we die, they will die as well. Since that's the case, it's better to have one less person die …"
Gritting his teeth, the Sect Leader of the Tiangang Sect didn't care whether the others agreed with him or not. He immediately issued an order telepathically, "Drive the flying boat together and ram it into their wooden boat. As long as we can destroy them, we'll have a chance to escape …"
When encountering ferocious beasts, as long as you run faster than the last person, you'll be safe!
If they wanted to live, they had to drag the other party down with them.
Hu!
Following the order, the flying ship swayed a few times, dodging the attack of the serpent. Then, it abruptly accelerated and charged toward Su Yin's ship!
"Ruthless and decisive!"
Seeing through the other party's intentions, Mo Yuan and Xu Chong glanced at one another and shook their heads simultaneously. "It's a pity that you used it in the wrong place!"
Even high-tier Spirit artifacts were unable to destroy Junior Uncle's flying ship. Yet, you want to destroy it with a mere middle-tier Spirit artifact?
Dream on!
Wuwuwu!
Under the control of countless experts of the Celestial Dipper Sect, the speed of the flying ship grew faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, it tore through space and appeared before Su Yin's ship.
"So, this is the world of cultivation …"
Seeing the other party's actions, Su Yin didn't dodge. Instead, he sighed deeply.
Previously, he had been in the Forbidden Grounds and Great Salt City, so he thought that as long as he displayed his strength, many people would submit to him. However, from the looks of it now, he had been overthinking things …
From the serpent devouring its subordinates to sacrificing its juniors to overcome its heavenly tribulation, to the current sect leader of the Celestial Dipper Sect repaying kindness with ingratitude … All of these reflected the cruelty and coldness of the world of cultivation!
"After destroying the flying ship, we'll escape right away …"
Seeing that the wooden ship didn't dodge, the sect leader of the Celestial Dipper Sect shouted excitedly. He channeled all of the remaining energy in his body into the ship, and the formation creaked under the violent force. It sounded as if it would be torn apart at any moment.
"Let's ram it!"
Knowing that the other party was determined to drag them down with him, Su Yin shook his head.
"Yes!"
The four Zongshi 9-dan experts of the Blacksmith Pavilion drove their energy simultaneously.
Hu!
The huge ship charged forward.
Kacha!
A deafening explosion sounded. Just as the sect leader of the Celestial Dipper Sect thought that the other party would be torn apart, the flying ship beneath his feet suddenly exploded. The middle-tier Spirit artifact didn't even last a single breath before it was reduced to dust and drifted down from the sky.
"This … How is this possible?" The sect leader of the Celestial Dipper Sect was stunned.
