Chapter 66

"You two back off a little. Leave the rest to me." Many ferocious beasts roared and charged towards them. Zi Chen smiled indifferently and signaled for the two to back off.

"Be careful."

"Be careful."

The two retreated, their eyes full of concern.

Zi Chen nodded. His eyes instantly turned cold. His Level 4 Zhen Qi began to surge. Streaks of silver light flowed on the surface of his body. Occasionally, an illusory lightning flashed.

"Swish!"

His feet flashed and disappeared like a ghost. In the next moment, he appeared in front of a Level 3 beast. A black light flashed and the Flowing Light Strike appeared.

"Puff!" A beast's heart was pierced, and blood spurted out.

"Thunderbolt Finger!" A bolt of lightning flew out from his finger and instantly pierced through the head of a beast.

"Boom!"

Zi Chen clenched his fists. His Qi and blood surged like a rampaging Class 65 Vicious Beast. With a single punch, a Class 4 Vicious Beast's skull was shattered. Its body fell to the ground with a loud thud, dead on the spot.

"Puff!"

A sword light flashed and the Flowing Light Sword appeared. It pierced the vital part of a beast at extreme speed.

In just a few short attacks, several powerful beasts were annihilated.

Each of them was a one-hit kill. In his prime, Zi Chen was not afraid of being besieged. He was more like a Level 65 beast.

"What a powerful fighting strength."

"That's Level 4 Zhen Qi. He actually broke through."

"What kind of luck is this? Not only did he not die, he even broke through."

Everyone was dumbstruck. They now had a deeper understanding of Zi Chen's powerful combat strength. Regardless of whether it was the powerful Flowing Light Sword or the power of lightning, they were all extremely shocked.

Zi Chen's body emitted a thick smell of blood. An austere killing intent filled the surrounding few meters. The blood of the beasts on the ground had already formed a small river. The powerful attack and the awe-inspiring killing intent had already frightened the other beasts. They hurriedly retreated and fled.

After a few breaths, no more beasts approached Zi Chen.

"Senior Brother Zi Chen is so powerful."

"Senior Brother Zi Chen, you are our idol. The Nimbus Martial Ancestor is wonderful because of you."

"Senior Brother Zi Chen, save us!"

Seeing Zi Chen running away, everyone was dumbfounded. Then, some of the quick-witted disciples shouted again and again. Some of the disciples even started walking towards Zi Chen.

"Hmph!"

Zi Chen coldly snorted, his cold eyes sweeping over the smiling disciples before he turned and walked towards Zhang Haotian and the others.

"Impressive. He actually broke through. Impressive." Zhang Haotian laughed.

"You sure are tenacious. Even a xiantian python cannot kill you. You really are a cockroach." Miao Kong sent a punch towards Zi Chen's chest.

"Zi Chen, you've really made us have a whole new level of respect for you." Lv Peng, Muyi and the others also sighed.

When Zi Chen arrived, the rich smell of blood had intimidated many of the beasts. The beasts that were besieging Muyi and the others turned and fled, as if they were very afraid of Zi Chen.

"Seeing your divine might, the beasts ran away as soon as they saw you."

Lin Xue joked. She tightly held onto Zi Chen's hand, not letting go. She was the happiest person that Zi Chen hadn't died.

"How is it? Did Ling Chen and the others appear?" Zi Chen asked. The appearance of the beasts was obviously part of Ling Chen's plot. That was why Zi Chen asked this question.

"They came out. They are outside, guarding the valley. They killed every one that went out. So far, many of the disciples that rushed out have been killed by them." Muyi coldly said. As he spoke of Ling Chen, his expression became gloomy.

"Oh, are there many people?"

"Quite a few." Muyi said.

Zi Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you should quickly recover from your injuries. I will protect you."

Muyi and the others nodded. However, at this time, Su Mengyao suddenly exclaimed, "Zi Chen, look at them. They are all riding rafts. It seems they want to enter the lake to pick the millennium elixirs."

Zi Chen turned his head and saw more than a dozen disciples jump onto the rafts. His nose was crooked with anger. This group of people was really good at scheming. When they saw him appear, they thought that the Xiantian python had been killed. But now, they had their eyes on the millennium elixirs.

"These people are really shameless." Lin Xue angrily said.

"Zi Chen, is the Xiantian python dead?" Lv Peng suddenly asked.

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "No, it just lost its fighting strength. It is no different from dying."

"Then you mean, anyone can take the millennium elixirs?"

"Yes!" Zi Chen nodded.

"Then why haven't you gone yet?" Lv Peng suddenly glared and shouted.

"But you guys …" Zi Chen said hesitantly.

"We can still hold on for a while. You risked your life to kill the Xiantian python. Only you can have the millennium elixirs. Hurry up and go." Lv Peng said.

The others also nodded at Zi Chen, their eyes full of encouragement.

"Well, I, Zi Chen, will remember this kindness." Zi Chen finished speaking and directly turned around and rushed towards the lake.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Zi Chen and stopped him. "Senior Brother Zi Chen, don't be too greedy. You've killed the Ten Inner Disciples, killed the Connate Giant Python, and made a breakthrough in your strength. Don't tell me you still want to snatch the thousand-year-old spiritual herb?"

This was a disciple of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. His strength was at the ninth level of the true qi realm. He had been hiding in the back and occasionally fought, so he was not injured.

"Senior brother Zi Chen, be content with what you have. Aren't you being too greedy?" Another Nimbus Martial Ancestor disciple appeared. This person was also at the ninth level of the true qi realm.

"You guys are really shameless. Zi Chen killed the Xiantian python. The millennium elixirs are his. If you want to take it, why didn't you do it earlier?" Behind them, Su Mengyao was furious and directly rebuked.

"Junior sister, you're wrong. Zi Chen killed the ten inner disciples and has already violated the sect's taboo. When we return, the elders will naturally punish him. Senior brother Chen Feng will also do things impartially. As for junior sister, you should think carefully about which side to stand on. Following him will only bring you trouble." One of the disciples said.

"Zi Chen, if you let go of the millennium elixirs, we can forget about you killing the ten inner disciples. When we return, we will even put in a few good words for you in front of senior brother Chen Feng. When the time comes, following senior brother Chen Feng, you will have endless resources."

"That's right. Don't ruin your future for a millennium elixirs. You must not make a mistake."

The two said righteously.

Zi Chen was so angry that he laughed. He had a certain understanding of the shamelessness of the two. Suppressing his anger, he said, "Are you guys done?"

"We're done. Think about it carefully." The two said.

"No need. I've already thought about it." Zi Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"What? Zi Chen, you still want to kill us? You've already killed the ten inner disciples and broken the rules of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. If you kill us too, even if you have ten lives, it won't be enough. Unless you stay in the Spiritual Herbal Garden for the rest of your life." The two threatened.

"You guys are shameless." Behind them, Lin Xue scolded angrily.

Zi Chen had also reached the limit of his patience. "Did I say I'm going to kill you guys?"

"Haha, that's right. Going against us is going against Senior Brother Chen Feng. That's the same as going against the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. Zi Chen, you're very smart. We have high hopes for you." The two laughed.

However, at that moment, Zi Chen moved. The Misty Steps appeared under his feet, and like a phantom, he flashed in front of the two people. Immediately after, Zi Chen attacked with lightning speed towards the two people's Dantian.

"Pu!" "Pu!"

Two sounds of air breaking were heard. The two's Abdomen were instantly crippled.

The furious Zi Chen's attack was very decisive and clean.

"You, you actually crippled me. I want you to die."

"Zi Chen, you'll die a horrible death."

The two's faces were pale as they looked at Zi Chen in disbelief. They clearly didn't expect Zi Chen's temper to be so bad. He actually attacked them without hesitation and crippled them with one attack.

"Scum like you guys don't deserve to live in this world. Not to mention, you guys even had designs on me." Zi Chen sneered. Carrying the two, he suddenly soared into the air and flew towards the lake.

Seeing Zi Chen's decisiveness, the people around them also retreated. Their eyes were filled with fear. Obviously, they had the same idea as the two before and wanted to talk to Zi Chen.

"Giant Python, I'm here to deliver you food. Quickly show yourself."

While they were still in the air, Zi Chen shouted loudly and threw the two of them down. With two loud splashes, the two of them fell into the lake.

Immediately after, a huge creature with a green glow appeared. It opened its huge mouth and with two cracking sounds, the two disciples of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor screamed miserably. In an instant, their bodies were bitten into pieces. Without a sound, they were swallowed by the giant python.

After making a mistake once, the giant python would definitely not make the same mistake twice. Therefore, it was bound to bite its prey to death before swallowing them.

The giant python's body appeared. Zi Chen's figure landed steadily on the python's head. He said, "Take me to the elixir."

"Ah, it's the giant python. It's not dead yet?"

"Isn't it dead?"

"How can this Zi Chen command a Xiantian stage giant python?"

On the bamboo raft, after seeing the giant python, the disciples exclaimed. Their eyes were filled with fear and shock. Fortunately, Zi Chen didn't let the giant python attack them. However, there were still many disciples who turned back on the raft. They no longer hoped to obtain the Millennium Elixir.

"This Zi Chen is really not ordinary."

Seeing this scene, the people in the valley all gasped. They looked at Zi Chen with fear in their eyes.

Because of Zi Chen's appearance, he had killed a few ferocious beasts. Many of the ferocious beasts were panicking and were running out of the valley. This made the pressure on the cultivators lessen a lot. At that moment, they had the time to fight over the spiritual medicines. However, there were still battles happening everywhere.

After losing its battle power, the giant python turned from a demonic beast to a ferocious beast. However, its speed in the water was still very fast. It was far faster than a bamboo raft.

Under the lead of the giant python, Zi Chen flew in a straight line.

"Stop him! Stop him!"

On the surface of the lake, many disciples were crying out in shock, but no one dared to move. The giant python beneath Zi Chen was too shocking. No one knew that it had already lost all of its battle strength.

"Swoosh!"

However, Zi Chen's departure was too late. There was still a disciple who rushed to the top of the rock and arrived in front of the Water Spirit Flower.

"Stop!" Zi Chen shouted. He pointed at the head of the giant python and flew towards the Water Spirit Flower.

Zi Chen's original intention was to land on the rock and compete with this stranger for the Water Spirit Flower. However, he didn't expect that when he was flying, the stranger suddenly turned around and smiled at Zi Chen. He pointed his body and in an instant, a burst of Level 65 Zhen Qi erupted.

A violent aura mixed with a powerful battle skill attacked Zi Chen.

"Boom!"

Catching Zi Chen off guard, this disciple who had been hiding for a long time finally showed his might. He punched Zi Chen's chest, causing Zi Chen, who had just leaped into the air, to fall back down.
