Chapter 65

Just when Zi Chen felt like his stomach was about to explode, his heart suddenly trembled. Then, a strong suction force appeared. His heart seemed to have turned into a bottomless pit, directly sucking in all the energy in Zi Chen's stomach. In just a few breaths, Zi Chen's bulging stomach slowly calmed down.

The crisis of his body exploding was easily resolved by the trembling of his heart.

At the same time, the giant python that was slapping the surface of the lake with its snake-like body also quietened down. The huge waves fell, and the sky seemed to be raining heavily, making crashing sounds.

The giant python's energy source was being sucked dry by Zi Chen bit by bit. With a final gulp, the giant python's gallbladder was empty, without a single drop of energy.

At the same time, the giant python that had been moving around also calmed down when its energy source disappeared. It floated on the surface of the lake, motionless, as if it had died.

"It's not moving again!"

"What's going on? The giant python stopped moving again."

Lin Xue and Su Mengyao had been paying attention to the giant python's movements. Seeing that the giant python suddenly stopped moving, their faces changed. They didn't know what was going on, but they desperately hoped that the giant python would move again. However, after waiting for a long time, the giant python still didn't move.

"Ah, charge!"

At this time, the battle in the valley was also coming to an end. Many humans and beasts had died, and the thick smell of blood filled the valley. A group of people rushed out of the valley and rushed towards the outside.

"Follow them."

Some people's eyes lit up. They shouted loudly and followed one after another. Many disciples rushed out like a tide. During this time, a few disciples unfortunately died under the claws of the vicious beasts, but even more disciples rushed out.

"Pu! Pu!"

This was a road paved with blood. It was only a few hundred meters from the valley to the entrance, but along the way, there were too many corpses.

Outside the valley, Ling Chen and the other disciples had been waiting for a long time. An invisible murderous aura filled the valley. All the disciples who were fighting the Martial Ancestor stared at the entrance of the valley with cold eyes.

When the first group of people rushed out, the murderous aura was completely revealed. A merciless killing intent seeped out.

"Kill!"

Ling Chen's expression was cold as she let out a roar. Many of the Battle Martial Ancestor's disciples charged towards the surviving disciples of the three sects with killing intent.

"Ah, it's the people who fought the Martial Ancestor. What do you want?"

"It's you, Ling Chen. What do you want?"

"Our three sects are allies. Do you want to kill us?"

The disciples of the Battle Martial Ancestor rushed forward. Their swords flashed, and killing intent filled the air. In an instant, severed limbs flew into the air, and cries of agony rang out continuously.

Facing Ling Chen and the others, they were akin to lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Ling Chen and the others were like wolves in a flock of sheep, slaughtering them to their heart's content.

An exhausted disciple of the Battle Martial Ancestor was still laughing heartily when his fellow disciples came over. He thought he was saved, but in the next moment, this disciple raised his butcher's knife at him.

"Pu!"

He raised his hand and brought the blade down. Blood splattered everywhere as the disciple fell to the ground in disbelief.

"Ling Chen, you're crazy. You even dare to kill the disciples of our sect." The faces of the other Battle Martial Ancestor disciples changed. However, the only reply they received was a flurry of swords and sabers.

No one spoke. There was only killing.

They killed everyone that came out of the valley. Even if they were from their own sect, they would not let them go.

After a series of attacks, the cultivators that came out of the valley suffered heavy casualties. They could only turn back and return.

"Ling Chen has brought people to kill us."

"Ling Chen has gone crazy. He wants to kill everyone."

"This is a scheme. A scheme devised by Ling Chen."

There were already cries of alarm coming from within the valley. Everyone knew what was happening outside.

Zi Chen's previous guess had been confirmed.

Ling Chen wanted to kill everyone here. At this moment, he was already waiting outside the valley. All the disciples that were lucky enough to leave the valley were killed one by one. Everyone had no choice but to retreat. They could only fight with the vicious beasts. At the same time, many eyes were looking towards Muyi and the others.

After a fierce battle, everyone else had consumed a great deal of energy. On the other hand, Muyi's side had recovered a great deal.

Within the valley, Muyi and the others were the ones with the most powerful combat strength.

"Senior-apprentice Brother Muyi, please think of a way to save us."

"Senior-apprentice Brother Zhang Haotian, we are fellow disciples. Please help us."

"Senior-apprentice Sister Su Mengyao, please save us. Ling Chen wants to kill everyone."

Everyone continued to plead, but Zhang Haotian didn't even look at them. As for Muyi, he was too lazy to care about these people. Su Mengyao was staring at the lake. She was staring at the motionless python, completely ignoring everyone else.

Within the python's belly, Zi Chen had swallowed all the energy source of the Xiantian python. Finally, he began to transform.

His heart fiercely beat. A pure and rich silver energy flowed out like a gentle tide. It surged violently, but there was no danger. It surged through his limbs and bones, and even into Abdomen's blood. His body and bones, under the nourishment of this energy, began to undergo a heaven-shaking change.

His blood, bones, skin, all of them began to transform. It was as if his meridians were being cleansed. Under the scouring of this silver energy, there was a constant qualitative change.

Before, Zi Chen's body had only been comparable to a ninth level vicious beast. But under this endless supply of energy, his body began to move closer to a tenth level vicious beast.

In an instant, this hurdle was overcome by the impact of this enormous energy. Zi Chen's body transformed once more. This time, it was comparable to a tenth level vicious beast. He was just one step away from becoming a Xiantian demonic beast.

At the same time, within Abdomen, Zi Chen's true qi was also advancing towards the peak of the eighth level. Then, he broke through to the ninth level.

A powerful aura surged out from Zi Chen's body. With a flash of silver light, Zi Chen appeared within the python's belly like a silver-armored war god.

This was the energy of a Xiantian python. It was surging and powerful, as deep as the sea, as deep as the abyss. Even after being refined by Ling Chen's heart, the silver energy was still as vast as the sea.

It wasn't strange for Zi Chen's body and strength to break through one after another.

If it had been an ordinary person, they would have broken through to the peak of Xiantian Realm in one go.

The python was motionless. Zi Chen pulled out his black sword. The python even trembled. Then, Zi Chen walked forward, trembling.

Without its energy source, Zi Chen was sure that even if the python didn't die, it would only be a relatively powerful beast. It couldn't even be considered a vicious beast. It couldn't even compare to a toothless tiger. It posed no threat to him.

Zi Chen walked forward step by step until he reached the python's mouth.

"I know you can hear me. I don't want to kill you. Do you want to open your mouth or do you want me to do it myself?" Zi Chen stood in the python's mouth, looking at the row of sharp teeth. He didn't feel afraid at all.

His powerful strength gave him great confidence.

The python trembled and slowly opened its mouth. A Xiantian demonic beast already had a high level of intelligence.

With a tap of his foot, Zi Chen's body flew diagonally. Then, with a somersault in the air, he landed on the python's back.

However, his body was now covered in blood and some unknown liquid. The stench of blood assailed his nostrils. It could be said that he was in an extremely sorry state.

Helpless, he could only jump into the lake and wash himself.

After a moment, Zi Chen reappeared and jumped onto the python's back.

Only then did the distant sounds of fighting and the roars of vicious beasts reach his ears.

This place was more than a kilometer away from the valley. Zi Chen looked up and saw many vicious beasts attacking the cultivators of the three sects.

"It's not over yet. I don't know if Xue 'er and the others are in danger."

Zi Chen's heart trembled. He originally wanted to go pick the spirit herbs, but he was worried about his friends' safety. He could only give up on them for now.

"Take me to the shore," Zi Chen said in a deep voice.

Although the Xiantian python had lost its energy source, it wasn't dead. It was very weak, but it had no problem swimming in the water.

The python turned around in the lake and took Zi Chen to the valley.

"You've lost your strength. Don't go near the shore, lest you get killed. Wait for me here," Zi Chen said indifferently. Then, with a tap of his foot, his figure rose and flew towards the valley.

The python was expressionless as it slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.

Lin Xue and Su Mengyao had been paying attention to the changes in the lake. When they felt the python move again, their hearts jumped to their throats. Then, they saw a person standing on the python's head.

"Zi Chen, it's Zi Chen. He's not dead," Lin Xue said excitedly.

"It's him. He's really still alive." Su Mengyao's eyes were filled with tears of joy.

"What?"

Everyone was stunned and turned their heads. Then, they saw Zi Chen flying in the air. Their faces were filled with disbelief.

"This … what's going on?" Zhang Haotian and the others were stunned, but then their faces were filled with ecstasy.

"Zi Chen, you really didn't die?"

Everyone was very excited. Muyi, Lu Peng, and the others were looking at Zi Chen with amazement, as if they could see through him.

Xu Yan had died in the python's mouth, but Zi Chen had actually survived. This was just too incredible.

Lin Xue had already thrown herself into Zi Chen's arms. She tightly hugged Zi Chen, sobbing in a low voice. Su Mengyao also came forward and laid her head on Zi Chen's shoulder. Zi Chen had risked his life to save her, and this had caused great waves in the goddess' heart.

With a beauty in his arms, Zi Chen was very happy. But this happy moment was always short-lived. At this moment, a beast roar sounded out. An eighth level vicious beast roared as it flew towards Zi Chen.

A strong wind whistled. The vicious beast had already opened its mouth, revealing its fangs. A tyrannical aura gushed out.

Zi Chen sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. He pointed a finger at the vicious beast.

Thunderbolt Finger!

Silver light shone between his fingers, and in the next moment, a bolt of lightning appeared, raging forward like a roaring dragon.

Boom!

The sound of thunder and lightning instantly sounded. The earth trembled, and the entire valley began to shake. The power of thunder and lightning raged, and rays of silver light appeared.

The eighth level vicious beast came quickly and retreated quickly. When it came, it was ferocious and terrifying, and when it retreated, it was completely silent and lifeless.

The sound of thunder attracted the attention of everyone in the valley. Everyone turned their heads and looked at Zi Chen in disbelief.

"That's Zi Chen. Didn't he die?"

"The connate giant python didn't kill him. Did he kill the giant python?"

"How is that possible? What the hell? Even the connate Xu Yan died, but Zi Chen is still alive."

Everyone felt their throats dry up. They couldn't believe what they saw. They looked at the lake, but there was nothing there. The lake was calm, and there was no trace of the connate giant python.

Roar ~!
