Chapter 62
Zi Chen's eyes were already bloodshot, but at that moment, he was powerless. His body was seriously injured, and the silver energy in his heart was constantly healing his body. However, it was still very slow, and it could not guarantee Zi Chen's ability to fight.
Lin Xue's clothes were no longer intact and could be attacked by the claws at any time.
A few seriously injured disciples staggered forward, but they were all sent flying.
At this moment, everyone's attention was on the battlefield, including Ling Fei and Xie Qiu.
"Enjoy the show. This will be a different kind of hand-to-hand battle." Ling Chen smiled, very relaxed. Xie Qiu nodded in agreement.
Everyone's attention was on the battlefield, so no one noticed the changes in the lake. The lake began to ripple and a whirlpool slowly formed.
"Haha, Zi Chen, today I will let you feel what despair is." Xu Yan was sometimes sober and sometimes crazy. Now that he was sober, he grabbed at Lin Xue with his claws.
At this moment, everyone was in despair.
"Hiss!"
A roar suddenly sounded, and then the lake water surged. Huge waves surged, and a huge whirlpool of dozens of meters suddenly rose up. At the same time, a huge monster appeared from the center of the whirlpool.
It was a triangular head that was almost the size of a house. It was ferocious and terrifying, and its head was covered with palm-sized scales that were tightly connected with each other. A pair of ice-cold triangular eyes stared unwaveringly at Xu Yan.
A violent Xiantian level aura swept out from the monster. This was a Xiantian level demon beast.
With a roar, ripples appeared in the air. This was a giant python with a head the size of a house. Its body was dozens of meters long, and hundreds of meters away, there were surging waves, like a tail surging at the bottom of the lake.
The corpse that fell into the lake, the thick smell of blood, and Xu Yan's Xiantian level aura attracted the other party.
The giant python stood upright, creating an endless whirlpool. After it appeared, it cast a large shadow in the valley. After it appeared, the giant python suddenly bit at Xu Yan.
The giant python brought a strong hurricane with it, and the impact forced everyone to retreat. The appearance of the giant python was too shocking.
A sudden change occurred, and the giant python rushed towards Xu Yan. Xu Yan sensed it and quickly turned around, just in time to see the giant python in front of him, opening its bloody maw to bite him.
Xu Yan's expression changed drastically. With a tap of his foot, he retreated, but he was still too slow.
After a loud sound, one of the giant python's teeth directly pierced through Xu Yan's shoulder. The Xiantian Qi instantly broke through his defense.
The giant python bit through Xu Yan's body. Immediately after, its huge head retreated, as if it wanted to bring Xu Yan back to the bottom of the lake, where its home ground was.
"Ah, die for me!"
The pressure from the python caused Xu Yan to wake up completely. With a shout, his right hand emitted a dazzling light. He clenched his fist and punched towards the python's teeth with the might of the Xiantian Realm.
"Crack!"
With a loud sound, one of the giant python's fangs suddenly broke. At the same time, Xu Yan's body fell towards the surface of the lake with a splash.
The giant python roared in pain and also fell into the water.
The water in the lake surged as if it was boiling, churning and churning unceasingly. Huge waves soared to the sky, creating waves that were hundreds of meters high. Blood stains appeared on the surface of the surging lake. Xu Yan and the giant python were currently fighting under the water.
"Are you alright?"
Zi Chen staggered to his feet and ran to Lin Xue. At this time, Lin Xue's face was deathly pale. Seeing Zi Chen arrive, she directly threw herself into Zi Chen's arms, sobbing.
"It's okay, it's okay." Zi Chen endured the pain and gently patted Lin Xue's back to comfort her.
Su Mengyao slowly got up and handed over a set of white clothes, indicating for Lin Xue to put it on. Her clothes were already disheveled, revealing a bit of her body.
"Thank you for your help today. In the future, if you need me, Zi Chen, for anything, I, Zi Chen, will do my best." Lin Xue slowly calmed down. Zi Chen turned to Lu Peng and the others.
"We're not saving you, we're saving ourselves. Xu Yan has already gone crazy and will kill everyone." Lu Peng said.
"Everyone, quickly recover from your injuries. There might be a fierce battle later."
The waves in the lake surged to the sky. The battle between the human and the python was extremely fierce. Xu Yan's body would occasionally rush out of the lake to take a breath. At the same time, he wanted to leave the lake, but every time, he would be entangled by the python and pulled back into the water.
Zi Chen and the others swallowed Qi Recovery Pills and were trying to recover from their injuries. In the distance, a group of disciples was curiously watching the battle on the lake.
Some of them had already made up their minds and jumped onto rafts, wanting to take the opportunity to get the millennium elixirs.
Unfortunately, under a huge wave, the rafts were shattered and the human cultivators fell into the lake.
Several disciples died in succession, so no one dared to take advantage of the situation.
"Get lost!"
With a loud shout, Xu Yan once again rushed out from the bottom of the lake like a cannonball. At this time, his body was covered with bloodstains. In front of the python, Xiantian True Qi was not enough to protect him. Moreover, Xu Yan had also consumed some of his True Qi in the previous battle. At this moment, he was at a disadvantage against the python.
The python let out a roar and jumped out again. Its huge head, which was as big as a house, tried to bite Xu Yan.
True Qi surged around Xu Yan's body, and he slapped the python's head. After a loud bang, his body once again rushed out, and this time, he flew in an arc towards the shore of the lake.
The crowd exclaimed. Obviously, they did not expect Xu Yan to use this method to escape.
At the same time, some people sighed. Even Xu Yan was not a match for the python. There was no hope of getting the millennium elixirs.
Just as Xu Yan was about to cross the lake and land in the valley, a hundred-meter-tall wave suddenly appeared and slammed towards Xu Yan. Xu Yan raised his hand and shattered the wave, but then the python's tail whipped Xu Yan's body.
"Pa!"
With a crisp sound, Xu Yan was knocked into the lake from afar.
Another fierce battle ensued.
The lake surged, and huge waves rose to the sky. Xu Yan's roar and the python's roar sounded again and again. Blood bloomed on the lake, some of it was Xu Yan's, and some of it was the python's.
The fierce battle lasted for a full hour. Just as Xu Yan had exhausted a lot of his energy and was about to soar into the air, the giant python once again stretched out its head and bit Xu Yan's thigh. Moreover, it suddenly pulled downwards.
Xu Yan struggled and cried for help, but no one paid attention to him.
When his body completely sank into the bottom of the lake, the waves gradually disappeared, and the surging lake gradually calmed down. Xu Yan did not appear again.
"Sigh!"
A sigh came from the crowd.
"This Xu Yan is dead. A Xiantian realm cultivator died just like that."
"That's right. This beast is worse than a pig or a dog. He really deserves to die. He almost killed Senior Sister Lin Xue."
"Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil. Even if Xu Yan broke through to the Xiantian realm, he will still die. Evil will have evil consequences."
After seeing Xu Yan die and Zi Chen and the others recover from their injuries, the group of righteous disciples once again sighed softly, their voices much louder than before.
Most of them were disciples of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor and walked toward Zi Chen's group.
"Senior Brother Zi Chen is tired. Now that he's injured, we have to protect him."
"That's right. Those with evil intentions can forget about touching a single strand of Senior Brother Zi Chen's hair."
"If anyone dares to touch Senior Sister Lin Xue and Senior Sister Su Mengyao, I'll fall out with them."
The group of disciples returned one after another, returning with righteousness.
"Bang!"
However, at this moment, the lake that had just calmed down suddenly surged, and the huge waves that disappeared appeared again. The python appeared once again. This time, its target was the disciples of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor who were moving. With a roar, it charged toward the crowd like a bolt of lightning.
Blood flowed down from the wound and dripped into the valley along with the lake water. When it retracted, three cultivators were bitten by the python and were pulled into the lake.
After the battle with Xu Yan, the python was injured and consumed a lot of energy. At this moment, it needed food to replenish itself, and humans were the best delicacies for the beast.
"Ah!"
Screams came from the crowd. The python's sudden attack had caught everyone off guard.
"Bang!"
However, just as the python entered the lake, it appeared again and pounced toward the crowd.
This time, there were a few screams and the cultivators were pulled into the lake.
The lake surged again. After a few struggles, the cultivators who entered the lake no longer made a sound.
"Not good, the python is starting to attack the humans."
"Retreat, the python is showing its power."
"Senior Brother Zi Chen, help us."
"Senior Brother Muyi, deal with the python quickly."
A series of shouts rang out and the cultivators began retreating, preparing to leave the valley. The giant python was simply too terrifying. At that very moment, it was still within the lake, attacking the cultivators in the valley one by one. After a series of attacks, many of the human cultivators died.
Everyone began to retreat and rushed out of the valley like a tide.
"Hmph, you want to leave now? It's too late." On the mountain peak, Ling Chen looked at the panicking crowd and laughed.
At this moment, the ground began to tremble and a rumbling sound could be heard. It was as if thousands of soldiers and horses were galloping.
Outside the valley, smoke and dust splashed everywhere. The ground rumbled and shook violently. In the smoke and dust, many fierce beasts were rushing toward the valley.
At a glance, there were hundreds of them.
Rumble!
Rumble!
The rumbling sound was as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking. Occasionally, some stones would roll down from the mountain peak.
When the crowd reached the entrance of the valley, they were completely dumbfounded when they saw the fierce beasts in the smoke and dust. This time, there was really no way to advance or retreat.
There were many fierce beasts in front and furious beasts behind. Everyone understood what Zi Chen felt before.
"What's going on? Why are there so many fierce beasts here?"
"So many fierce beasts. Are all the fierce beasts in the Spiritual Herbal Garden here?"
"Are they summoned?"
"What's going on?"
The fierce beasts rushed over with a tyrannical aura. Their target was clear.
"Let's fight with these fierce beasts."
"Let's kill our way out."
"If we meet the python, we'll die. If we meet the fierce beasts, there's a way out. Let's go."
A few decisive roars could be heard from the crowd. Then, a large group of strong cultivators rushed toward the approaching fierce beasts.
But if one looked carefully, they would see that a few figures were retreating quickly. They were the ones who had spoken before.
Rumble!
Men and beasts collided. Under the huge impact of the fierce beasts, the human cultivators were instantly sent flying and were trampled to death by the fierce beasts.
