After slaying the two giant pythons before him, Luo Tian’s gaze swept over the area.

The few remaining Silver Students were being besieged by several giant pythons led by two Golden Pythons.

To escape, they first had to break through the Golden Pythons’ encirclement.

”We can’t hold on anymore!”

The purple-haired youth, the charming girl, and the other Silver Students were pale and in a wretched state.

The two Golden Pythons had combat power comparable to a Golden Student.

Even though one was heavily injured, it was still extraordinary, no weaker than an average Ninth Layer practitioner.

”I’ll take on one Golden Python. I’ll leave the rest to you,” Nangong Yu said solemnly.

”Can you handle it?”

The Silver Students present looked at him with shock and doubt.

Nangong Yu’s Cultivation had just barely reached the Peak of the Seventh Layer. Defeating a Golden Python would be no easy task.

”Activate!”

A look of utter determination appeared on Nangong Yu’s handsome face.

WHOOM!

The True Qi in his body surged violently, erupting with an incomparably powerful aura.

Celestial Extreme Palm!

Nangong Yu unleashed an incredibly condensed Cyan Jade Palm Light, instantly obliterating an injured giant python that was comparable to an Eighth Layer practitioner.

He then engaged one of the Golden Pythons, fighting it on even terms. His combat power had more than doubled!

”Such incredible strength!”

”What kind of Hidden Skills has Nangong Yu been practicing?”

The Silver Students were completely shocked.

Luo Tian was a little surprised, but it wasn’t entirely unexpected.

He had long since sensed a powerful force sealed within Nangong Yu’s body.

”Luo Tian! What are you standing there for? We’ll take care of the remaining pythons together,” the purple-haired youth shouted.

At this moment, the purple-haired youth, the charming girl, and a Silver Student at the Eighth Layer of Meridian Opening were fending off the other Golden Python and three ordinary giant pythons.

Of the two teams, only four or five of the original nine Silver Students remained.

”No rush. I only need one strike,” Luo Tian said calmly.

’If I were to unleash the full power of my Divine Vein and Martial Skills, I could probably fight a Golden Python alone.’

’But I need to conserve my strength for the real crisis.’

’The most effortless method is still to simulate the Demon Emperor’s aura and kill the Golden Python that way.’

Only one strike?

The purple-haired youth and his two companions nearly fainted from anger. They had clearly been reminded of Luo Tian’s nickname, the ”One-Sword Young Master.”

Compared to Nangong Yu, Luo Tian’s character was simply terrible!

”No way! This kid is probably looking for a chance to run,” the charming girl snorted.

”How dare he!”

”He expects us to do all the work while he makes snide comments from the side?”

The three Silver Students quickly reached an agreement.

SWOOSH!

Fighting as they retreated, the three of them led one Golden Python and three ordinary giant pythons toward Luo Tian.

Luo Tian stood his ground, completely unhurried.

’A perfect opportunity!’

The purple-haired youth and the charming girl exchanged a glance, a cold glint in their eyes.

As Yue Jing’s trusted subordinates, they were aware of his plan to murder Luo Tian.

This was the perfect opportunity!

’Since you’re being so arrogant, Luo Tian, don’t blame us for setting you up.’

”Move!”

The purple-haired youth and his companions lured the Golden Python to Luo Tian’s side, then scattered in all directions at top speed.

HISSS!

The Golden Python lunged forward. All that remained in its path was a youth at the Sixth Layer of Meridian Opening, who surprisingly didn’t even try to dodge.

With bloodlust in its eyes, it didn’t bother with any hesitation and lunged for the kill.

”Haha! No matter how skilled you are, ’One-Sword Young Master,’ you’ll still die here and now when faced with power above the Ninth Layer!” the purple-haired youth laughed aloud.

After running away, the three of them glanced back out of the corners of their eyes, as if looking at a dead man.

But in the next instant, the gazes of the purple-haired youth and his companions froze, as if they had seen a ghost.

SHING!

A brilliant, dazzling Star Trace Sword Light flashed from the Wind and Snow Sword in Luo Tian’s hand, emanating a biting, bone-chilling cold and an unparalleled sharpness.

The charging Golden Python’s body inexplicably stiffened.

PFFT!

The icy Star Trace Sword Light pierced straight through the Golden Python’s head!

’This... How is this possible!’

The purple-haired youth and his companions roared in their hearts, filled with intense regret and disbelief.

One strike!

He really only used one strike!

A Golden Python with the combat power of someone above the Ninth Layer of Meridian Opening was killed by Luo Tian, just like that.

From their perspective, they couldn’t see the fear in the Golden Python’s eyes.

Instead, it seemed as if the Golden Python’s severe injuries had reached a critical point, revealing a fatal flaw just as it was about to reach Luo Tian.

’He killed the Golden Python in one strike?’

Nangong Yu, who was currently locked in battle with the other Golden Python, saw this scene out of the corner of his eye and was deeply shaken.

As for Luo Tian, Nangong Yu had always been resentful of him. After all, he had to seal half of his power on a daily basis due to the Celestial Spirit Extreme Origin Skill he practiced.

But now, he had already unsealed his power and was majestically fighting a Golden Python all by himself, to the astonishment of everyone present.

However, compared to Luo Tian killing a Golden Python with a single strike, his own achievement was nothing.

”I get it! The Golden Python Luo Tian killed was the one Senior Yue had already grievously injured. It was practically half-dead!” the charming girl suddenly exclaimed.

The first Golden Python to appear had been heavily wounded by Yue Jing. After all, Yue Jing was one of the top figures in the Golden Area, with strength that was among the best of the Golden Students.

”Damn it! The bastard got lucky again,” the purple-haired youth said, grinding his teeth in frustration.

In reality, whether the Golden Python was severely injured or not, Luo Tian would have killed it in one strike.

This was because any Demon Beast below the Spirit Sea Realm was completely powerless before the Demon Emperor’s aura that Luo Tian simulated.

”I told you I’d only use one strike.”

Luo Tian spoke nonchalantly as he used his sword to pry the Demon Core from the Golden Python’s body.

Hm?

Just as he withdrew the simulated Demon Emperor’s aura, he suddenly felt a chilling sense of crisis.

This sense of crisis came from the Jade Spirit Python on the other side.

The Jade Spirit Python’s greedy, bloodthirsty eyes suddenly swept across the five Silver Students, pausing on Luo Tian for a moment.

The hair on Luo Tian’s entire body stood on end, and he felt as if he had been plunged into an ice cellar.

He had only simulated the Demon Emperor’s aura for a brief instant before sealing the aura of the Demon Emperor Bone away again.

Even so, he had attracted the Jade Spirit Python’s attention.

Luo Tian considered a possibility.

As a legendary Exotic Beast, the Jade Spirit Python might possess some form of Spirit Communication, making it extremely sensitive to the aura of the Demon Emperor Bone.

HISSS!

The Jade Spirit Python hissed in excitement, its attacks growing even more ferocious as a ghastly green mist roiled around its body.

It was now certain that the Demon Emperor Bone was among these people, and it had a prime suspect.

”We can’t hold on!”

Yue Jing and Liu Ziyan were forced to retreat again and again, both sustaining injuries.

After all, the two had relied on a Secret Technique, or their Martial Veins and Ultimate Skills, to temporarily erupt with power rivaling a Weak Spirit Sea Realm practitioner.

Yue Jing’s Secret Technique, in particular, consumed his Essence, Blood, and Primordial Qi, a considerable price to pay.

Once the Secret Technique ended, he would fall into a weakened state. The longer it was used, the greater the side effects on a Martial Artist.

’We have to hurry!’

Luo Tian’s heart tightened. Once the two Golden Lords were defeated, he would be the Jade Spirit Python’s next target, and there would be no escape.

SWOOSH!

Luo Tian flashed over and first helped the purple-haired youth’s group kill the few remaining ordinary giant pythons.

Afterward, the few remaining Silver Students joined forces with Nangong Yu to finish off the last Golden Python.

During this process, Luo Tian didn’t dare use the Demon Emperor Bone to simulate the Demon Emperor’s aura.

While fighting Liu Ziyan and Yue Jing, the Jade Spirit Python’s cold gaze would occasionally sweep over to him.

He had a gut feeling.

If any of the five Silver Students on the field dared to run, they would be intercepted and killed by the Jade Spirit Python.

’Celestial Book, deduce information about the Jade Spirit Python.’

Luo Tian retreated to a corner, his consciousness reaching for the Celestial Book in his mind.

Soon, the information about the Jade Spirit Python was deduced.

As an Ancient Exotic Beast, this python indeed possessed a perceptive ability for Spirit Communication that surpassed ordinary Demon Beasts.

Within a certain range, it could sense even the faintest trace of the Demon Emperor Bone’s aura.

’No wonder.’

Luo Tian realized that he had been the one to attract the Jade Spirit Python.

The unsettling sense of being watched he had felt earlier had originated from this.

’As expected of an Exotic Beast. Its Attack, Defense, and speed are among the best for Demon Beasts of the same rank. It also has powerful regenerative abilities and very few weaknesses or flaws...’

Luo Tian finished reading the information on the Jade Spirit Python.

Just then,

”Argh...”

Yue Jing grunted as he was struck by the Jade Spirit Python’s tail, sent flying over a dozen meters along with his blade.

Ptoo!

A trickle of blood escaped the corner of Liu Ziyan’s mouth as she, too, was forced to retreat.

The two Golden Lords had fought against the Spirit Level Exotic Beast and held on until now, but they had nearly reached their limit.

Liu Ziyan was severely injured and had expended a great deal of energy. After using his Secret Technique, Yue Jing had fallen into a weakened state, his combat power cut by more than half.

”It’s over! Run—”

The crowd couldn’t care about anything else and tried to flee.

WHOOSH!

The Jade Spirit Python’s twenty-meter-long body swept in front of them, blocking their path and releasing a cloud of ghastly green poisonous mist.

”Ahhh...”

The charming girl, relying on her superior Body Technique, tried to escape, but she was struck by the python’s tail and reduced to a pile of gore.

”Don’t run! It’ll just pick us off one by one!” Nangong Yu said in a low voice.

Soon, the two Golden Students and five Silver Students were forced into a corner against a cliff wall by the Jade Spirit Python.

There was no escape!

The students’ faces were pale, all of them shrouded in the shadow of death.

Hiss~

The Jade Spirit Python’s cold eyes glinted with greed and cunning as it scanned the ants before it, its gaze finally landing on Luo Tian.

Luo Tian’s hair stood on end as he felt a lethal crisis approaching.

The Jade Spirit Python had locked onto him!

’I can’t just sit here and wait to die!’

Luo Tian took a deep breath, his hand behind his back secretly clutching a Kun Ga’s Fang.

He had two Kun Ga’s Fangs left.

Each one he used was one he couldn’t get back.

He absolutely could not use them unless it was a matter of life and death.

And even if he had to use one, he had to make it count!

SWOOSH!

Luo Tian executed Wandering Body Step, leaping up like a light feather in an attempt to escape.

’That idiot!’ Yue Jing and the others cursed inwardly.

At a critical moment like this, whoever made the first move was bound to be attacked by the Jade Spirit Python.

Still, this was good too.

Once the Jade Spirit Python went after Luo Tian, they would have a chance to escape.

”Don’t,” Nangong Yu said in a low voice. Luo Tian’s actions were irrational.

The moment Luo Tian moved, ROAR!

The Jade Spirit Python’s eyes turned glacial as its massive tail whipped toward Luo Tian like lightning, accompanied by a soul-shaking whistle through the air.

This was a full-power Attack from a Spirit Sea Realm Level creature, enough to instantly kill anyone in the Meridian Opening Realm.

In mid-air, a cunning smile touched the corner of Luo Tian’s mouth.

TAP! SWISH!

He kicked off the cliff wall behind him, using the momentum to abruptly reverse direction and drift behind Yue Jing and Liu Ziyan.

”What!”

Yue Jing and Liu Ziyan turned pale with horror.

Luo Tian’s escape attempt was just a feint!

After provoking the Jade Spirit Python’s Attack, he had instantly drifted behind the two of them.

WHOOSH-BOOM!

The Jade Spirit Python’s tail, wreathed in a ghastly green mist, followed Luo Tian’s movement and swept toward Liu Ziyan and Yue Jing.

’This is bad!’

Liu Ziyan’s face was as pale as paper.

After a brutal battle, she was grievously injured and had exhausted most of her energy.

Now, forced into a corner, she had nowhere to run and no strength left to resist.
