Chapter 28: The Strong Intercepts the Road

  Fifty kilometers away in the sky, a man wearing a simple and clean long gown with a slightly raised beard was suspended in mid-air.

  The realm of a warrior's potential, above third rank, can for a long time escape the attraction of gravity and move objects at will. Above fifth rank, one can fly in mid-air without restriction for a long time. Lin Lang had never met a strong person above third rank before, if he saw the man in front of him, from his height and calm demeanor, he would surely see that this fifty-year-old man was far beyond third rank.

  The man narrowed his eyes and faintly said in the direction of the Crowned Scale Python: "Don't try to escape, you've swallowed my Clear Thunder Hook String, do you think you can still get away?"

  He urged his strength, and with a "whoosh" like a wisp of transparent smoke cutting across the sky, he sped off at a speed ten times faster than that of his senior brother and sister on their flying shuttle.

  "Two useless trash, I thought they had some skills, but taking my Qing Lei hook and bow, they can't even handle a single beast? So stupid, how can they be my Lu Bu Zhen's direct disciples. I'm already being kind by letting you two leave the sect, if it wasn't for remembering that you usually listen obediently, I would have sent you to Kunlun Peak to become slaves."

  Because of the recent important events in the sect, he was busy and had no choice but to entrust Qing Lei Hou Xuan to his two disciples, Guo and Xiao, who secretly came forward. Unexpectedly, these two incompetent fools not only failed to obtain the inner elixir of the demon crown python, but also lost his Qing Lei Hou Xuan! As a result, he had no choice but to hand over the matter to the sect leader and come in person.

  The fleeing Crowned Scaled Snake is already feeling a great sense of crisis, relying on its demonic beast instincts, it has long since smelled the aura of that human expert. Knowing that the opponent is not something it can handle, it must quickly escape back to its lair.

  Back in the old nest, startling the ancestors, this little human is waiting for death!

  "Hmph, little insect, don't try to escape. Since you've swallowed my Qing Lei Hook Zither, I'll have to dissect your belly and take out my treasure."

  In just a few breaths, Lü Bu appeared above his head, with an expressionless face.

  "This body of yours isn't bad, it's passable. We can use it to make a few defensive garments for the inner disciples of our Xuantian Sect that will have extremely good defensive capabilities. This trip has been an unexpected gain." Lü Bu Zhen looked down at the massive but heavily injured Yao Guang Lin, as if a high and mighty god was looking down on a lowly mortal: "Right, judging from your cultivation level, you should be at the peak of the fourth rank, just one step away from advancing to the fifth rank. This inner elixir is a treasure that will spark contention among people. If we use it to refine 'Condensed Elixir', not only will our Xuantian Sect have several more third-rank warriors, but it will also be a great contribution to the sect. Moreover, it will greatly benefit my divine sense and the heavens, perhaps allowing me to break through the mid-sixth rank's shackles and solve the problem of my thirty years of stagnant cultivation."

  The Crowned Scale Serpent, if it hadn't been injured, wouldn't be slower than its opponent. But the one in front of him was covered in wounds, with several large blood holes on its nearly hundred-meter-long body, its speed reduced by 70%. It simply couldn't shake off such a powerful person.

  It spat out a long red tongue and suddenly sprayed out a jet of black thick fog.

  Lü Bu Zhen hastily retreated and withdrew hundreds of meters. After days of accumulation, the venom of the Crowned Scale Python had also recovered by more than half. The ferocity of this demon beast's divine ability was such that even a powerful being like Lü Bu Zhen could not avoid it.

  The demon crown python twisted its body and drilled into the dense forest, as long as it went another thirty miles or so, it would enter the old ancestor's domain, at that time it was not afraid of this human martial artist.

  "Hmph, still thinking of escaping?" Lü Bu's eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he let out a loud hum, his body moving swiftly like a flying bird, and struck out with a punch.

  This punch was full of his accumulated power, the fist swelling dozens of times, the bent finger bones like ivory, filled with powerful energy, bursting tightly, and quickly piercing through the air. The crown scales python twisted its head and sprayed out a thick misty gas again. Its body was weak under its eyes, in terms of strength it was far inferior to Lü Bu Zhen, so it could only rely on its poisonous skills to protect its life.

  Corrosive Liquid is a congenital divine ability of the Youguan Lianshe, capable of corroding all physical bodies. As long as it comes into contact with even a tiny bit, it can completely destroy a person's bodily functions. Even someone as powerful as Lv Bu Zhen, a sixth-rank warrior, could only avoid its edge.

  Lü Bu swiftly darted forward, suddenly turning back like a swallow in flight, diving down from dozens of meters high, and then punching out with a loud crash.

  The crown scales of the python rose, and another jet of venom was sprayed out. A black-gray gas seeped into the air, and tens of square meters were covered in a dark, shiny substance.

  Lü Bu Zhen couldn't help but dodge again. If he had Qing Lei's bow in hand, that would be great; he could use the power of lightning to kill this beast at any time. But his was swallowed by those two good-for-nothing disciples, letting this Crowned Scaled Python swallow it. Although the Crowned Scaled Python's venom was potent, its weakness was that it didn't store much and recovered slowly. If it were an ordinary person, the only plan would be to exhaust this beast's venom and then kill it. However, Lü Bu Zhen clearly didn't have the patience for that; a mere fourth-grade peak-stage small insect wasn't worth wasting his time on.

  Lin Huan inside the snake's belly had stopped cultivating, from the intense tremors of the snake's body, it could be seen that the other party and the Crowned Scaled Python were in a fierce battle, who would win or lose?

  "Hu" Lü's arm shook as if it had torn through the sky, and a meteor shot out from behind the crown scales of the python. His hands enlarged several times, like iron hooks grasping its dark, long tail, and with a forceful tug. The nearly hundred-meter-long, bucket-thick crown scales python was lifted alive by him, then slammed down.

  This crown of scales that was invincible in front of humans was smashed to the side by him without any dignity.

  Lin Heng was lucky to be tied up by a soft snake's stomach, otherwise he would have fallen and broken all his bones.

  The demon crown python rushed forward, its snake tail attacking Lv Buqi like a broom. The beast was born with brute strength, and the massive volume of its snake tail made every sweep as powerful as a thousand jun. Lv Buqi didn't dodge either, punching out one fist after another, his small fists swelling up like mountains, colliding with each other.

  Rocks and soil flew everywhere, and countless areas of woodland were transformed into bare, flat plains.

  Lü Bu Zhen was the chief elder of the mainland's powerful Xuantian Sect, and sixty years ago, a super senior guest elder had pointed him in the right direction. With decades of cultivation, his realm had reached the sixth grade. The demonic crown scales were knocked down with every strike, and the originally unbreakable defensive scales collapsed with each impact, crumbling several pieces at a time.

  "Time!" The most ardent wish of the Crowned Scale Serpent was to seize time. In its current state, it had no doubt that it would be defeated by this human martial artist. Its only hope for escape was to return to its lair and alarm its ancestors. Once the ancestors appeared, not to mention this insignificant human martial artist, even legendary ninth-grade martial artists would not be able to withstand a single blow.

  If it persists for another three miles, it will enter its lair "Indestructible Gorge" area, which is its only hope of escape.

  "Hmph, still desperately trying to escape! I won't bother with you anymore!" Lü Bu Zhen concentrated his mind, his dry and withered long hair fluttering without wind. He turned his foot, his left fist transformed into a claw shape, coordinating with his right palm to form a strange pose. With a loud roar, a huge transparent axe appeared in mid-air!

  "Eternal Axe!" Lv Bu Zhen shouted loudly!

  "The" majestic momentum was like a dark starry sky, time seemed to stand still. The giant python sensed the great danger and desperately tried to escape, but unfortunately it was too late.

  "Boom!" The gigantic Eternal Axe chopped down on its rear segment, sending countless flesh and scales flying everywhere. Some of them splattered out several kilometers away, like a bloody rain. The nearly hundred-meter-long Demon Crowned Python was chopped into two segments, its charred tail severed. The surging blood water seemed to flow endlessly from the cut, dyeing a large area of mountains red in an instant.

  The crown scales python let out a mournful hiss, using all its strength, and "whooshed" into a place with steep cliffs and deep canyons that seemed to have been cut by knives.
