Slaying the Red-Scaled Python King

Lost in thought, the Red Phosphorus Python King snapped out of its daze. With a fierce expression, it slowly crept towards the cave where the White-Haired Immortal Crane had entered.

Its plan was to use its powerful Aura Concealing Method its presence to ambush outside the cave, and once the White-Haired Immortal Crane came out, it would pounce and bite.

Just as the python king was contemplating a sneak attack to kill the White-Haired Immortal Crane- White-Haired Immortal Crane, it approached within a hundred feet of the crane's nest.

The White-Haired Immortal Crane entered the cave, deep inside.

A young man who was using two flying swords, one long and one short, to skin and remove the bones from the corpse of the Qi Training Late Stage Refining Red Phosphorus Fire Python that the White-Haired Immortal Crane had brought back, suddenly had a burst of spiritual light flash in his Storage Bag at his waist.

The young man's expression changed, and he patted the Storage Bag at his waist, summoning a golden array plate that was constantly flashing with spiritual light.

Upon noticing the unusual movement of the golden array plate, the young man frowned and muttered to himself.

"Has the Geng Metal Needle Splitting Array been activated?"

He used his Divine Sense to scan the surrounding area of 150 feet, but did not detect any external aura.

"My Divine Sense can't detect it. Could it be concealing its presence?" The young man pondered upon realizing this.

The next moment, he channeled his Divine Sense into the array plate of the Geng Jin Crack Array in his hand, using it to probe his surroundings.

Soon, with the help of the array plate, he locked onto the aura of an outsider, and this aura was still getting closer to the Snake Cave.

"Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast?"

"Judging from that Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast constantly approaching the Snake Cave Snake Cave, it's probably eyeing it."

"Because of the Rock Scale Snake Demon that previously occupied this place, there are no Foundation Establishment Demon Beast within a hundred miles around; at most, there are only some Qi Training Demon Beast."

"Furthermore, this place is protected by Second Grade Middle Rank -gathering formation. Not to mention Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, even ordinary Foundation Establishment Completion Demon Beast would probably find it difficult to sense the Spiritual Qi here."

"Thinking about it this way, it's probably not that the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast that's getting closer is attracted by the Spiritual Qi of this place."

After some speculation, the young man finally focused his gaze on the oblivious White-Haired Immortal Crane in front of him and asked a question.

"Immortal Spirit, when you went out to capture this Qi Training Late Stage Demon Serpent, did you encounter Demon Beast at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment? Or did you observe any Demon Beast at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment in the vicinity?"

Upon hearing this, the White-Haired Immortal Crane named "Immortal Spirit" looked puzzled, but still answered truthfully and nodded.

That young man was none other than Ling Pengyun.

The White-Haired Immortal Crane named "Immortal Spirit" is the Ling Clan clan's Guardian Spirit Beast, the Immortal Spirit Crane King, who has the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment stage and is stationed here with Ling Pengyun.

"A Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast is using an extremely powerful concealment technique and is constantly approaching our Snake Cave. This early-stage Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast is probably following you here." Ling Pengyun frowned and spoke when he saw the Immortal Spirit Crane King nod.

The Immortal Spirit Crane King had already entered the Foundation Establishment and its intelligence had greatly increased. Although there was no Recognition of Ownership Restriction between it and Ling Pengyun, it could roughly understand what Ling Pengyun was saying.

Judging from Ling Pengyun's expression, it didn't seem fake. A hint of apology flashed in its eyes, and it chirped twice at Ling Pengyun.

"No need for that. In the future, when you go out to hunt Demon Beast, just be more careful about your whereabouts." Ling Pengyun waved his hand and said this.

Then, his expression changed, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a deep voice.

"That Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, which is using the technique of concealing its aura, is constantly approaching the entrance to the Snake Cave. Once it enters the Snake Cave, it will definitely discover that there is Spirit Vein here."

"We only have one path before us: to kill!"

"Are you willing to fight alongside me?"

The Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Immortal Spirit Crane King was not Ling Pengyun's Spirit Beast Spirit Beast, but Ling Yunhong's. Moreover, the Immortal Spirit Crane King's cultivation was stronger than Ling Pengyun's, so Ling Pengyun naturally couldn't directly give orders to the Immortal Spirit Crane King.

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Spirit Crane King nodded without hesitation and let out a crane cry to indicate his agreement.

When its Master, Ling Yunhong, left, he instructed it to obey Ling Pengyun's orders from now on.

Seeing that the Immortal Spirit Crane King had responded, Ling Pengyun did not delay any longer and used his Object Manipulation Technique to suspend the array plate of the Geng Metal Needle Splitting Array in the air.

Then, he quickly formed hand Hand Seals and cast a special Method Formula into the array plate.

A dazzling golden light flashed on the array plate, and then more than three hundred golden array patterns suddenly emerged from the ground within a mile radius of the Snake Cave.

As soon as these three hundred-plus golden array patterns emerged from the ground, they quickly intertwined and merged together.

In an instant, the more than three hundred array patterns transformed into a huge golden light curtain, enveloping the area within a mile of the Snake Cave.

Outside the Snake Cave.

The Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Red Phosphorus Python King was using the technique of concealing its aura and constantly approaching the entrance of the Snake Cave, showed a hint of fear when it saw a huge golden light curtain suddenly appear around it and envelop it.

It sensed a strong aura of danger from this huge golden light curtain.

Just to be on the safe side, the python turned around and planned to leave, hide for a while, and then launch a sneak attack on the Immortal Spirit Crane King, which had harmed many of its people, after the light barrier disappeared.

But before it could crawl more than a few feet, more than a hundred golden needles gradually emerged from the huge golden light curtain.

In the blink of an eye, the hundred or so golden needles were launched into the outside world, all heading towards the Red Phosphorus Python King that was about to leave.

The Red Phosphorus Python King, which was about to leave, saw the attack coming from the sky. Its expression changed drastically, and it stopped. It quickly cast a spell, and a red light appeared around its body, with flames surging from its surface.

In an instant, the flames materialized, forming a suit of fire armor.

The next moment, more than a hundred golden needles, which were transformed from the huge golden light screen, silently fell and struck the fiery armor around the Red Phosphorus Python King.

Although the Flame Armor offers strong defense, its hundred-odd golden needles are most effective at breaking through protective barriers.

Faced with over a hundred golden needles, the Flame Armor was like a relatively thick wall.

In less than half a breath, the hundred or so golden needles pierced through the fiery armor and struck the Red Phosphorus Python King's sturdy scales.

The two collided, producing a series of clanging sounds.

It was as if the red scales of the python king were made of metal.

The hundred or so golden needles finally pierced through the fiery armor. Although they had already consumed 30% of their power, the remaining 70% was still terrifying.

At least dozens of golden needles pierced through the sturdy scales on the python king's body, penetrating its flesh and blood, and writhing wildly within it.

"Hiss!"

The Red Phosphorus Python King roared in pain and quickly mobilized its spiritual power to suppress the dozens of Armor Piercing Golden Needle surging wildly within its body.

Before the Red Phosphorus Python King could catch its breath, a white figure swiftly flew out from the entrance of the Snake Cave not far from where the Red Phosphorus Demon Python was, rising into the sky.

As soon as it ascended into the sky, the white figure stopped, revealing itself to be the Immortal Spirit Crane King.

It lowered its head and saw that the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast that had followed it to the Snake Cave was the Red Phosphorus Python King, with whom it had fought not long ago. Its eyes turned cold.

This python king has certainly had quite a few dealings with.

With a flap of its wings, a burst of white light appeared around it, quickly transforming into over a hundred white arrow feathers.

Once these hundred-odd white arrows were formed, they were fired out.

At that very moment, two cyan flying swords, one long and one short, flew out from the cave where the Immortal Spirit Crane King had just emerged from.

Together with the hundred arrows transformed by the Immortal Spirit Crane King, they blasted towards the Red Phosphorus Python King, which was suffering terribly from being tormented by dozens of golden needles.

Just as he was mobilizing his spiritual power to suppress the Red Phosphorus Python King, which had just pierced through his body with dozens of golden needles, he realized that the Immortal Crane he had been following had not only noticed him but also flown out of its nest and launched an attack on him from the sky. His expression immediately became chaotic.

Even in its prime, it wasn't confident it could defeat the white crane in the sky head-on. This time, it had followed it here only to launch a sneak attack outside the white crane's cave, relying on its tried-and-true method of concealing its aura.

Moreover, it is in its current state.

With two more flying swords attacking from the surrounding area, the python king, in order to save its life, had no choice but to divert its remaining strength from suppressing the dozens of golden needles surging wildly within its body, and to support its strongest defensive inner Inner Core Divine Power power, the Protective Yuan Qi, which transformed into a red light screen several feet in size, blocking the hundred feather arrows falling from the sky and the two cyan flying swords, one long and one short, that came at it.

However, the hundred feathered arrows and the two cyan flying swords were all quite powerful. Moreover, the Red Phosphorus Python King was not fully activating the protective light barrier.

This caused the python king's red light barrier to be bombarded by hundreds of feathered arrows and the two cyan flying swords, creating Ripples Marketplace and causing it to shake violently.

The python king, seeing this, was helpless.

If it were to exert all its power, it might be able to temporarily stabilize the swaying light screen, but the dozens of golden needles within its body, which were not suppressed by spiritual power, would surely pierce through its body, and its life would be in danger.

Inside the Rock Scale Snake Den.

Ling Pengyun, who had just unleashed the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords, had already been able to detect the presence of the Red Phosphorus Python King with his Divine Sense when it had previously used its Flame Armor.

It was precisely because his divine Divine Sense could lock onto the python king that Ling Pengyun was able to unleash the two Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords.

The hundred golden needles conjured by the array earlier were able to lock onto the python king, thanks to the power of the array.

Relying on his Divine Sense, Ling Pengyun also sensed the perilous situation that the Red Phosphorus Python King was in.

In order to kill the Red Phosphorus Python King as soon as possible, so as not to make too much noise when activating the Geng Metal Splitting Needle Grand Array and attract the attention of the surrounding Demon Beast.

He cast another special Method Formula into the Geng Metal Splitting Needle Grand Array disc floating in front of him, then changed his finger technique and pondered for a moment.

"Array artifacts".

"Geng Metal Cloud Splitting Needle".

"Out."

From the location of the underground Spirit Vein in the Snake Cave, a foot-long golden needle rapidly shot out from the ground.

As soon as the long needle emerged from the ground, more than three hundred array patterns split off from the huge golden light curtain in the sky and flowed into the foot-long golden needle.

As the array patterns surged in, the Geng Metal Qi emanating from the golden needle became even more concentrated, and its aura also increased by several times. In terms of aura alone, it was even stronger than an ordinary Second Grade Middle Rank Law Artifact.

The enormous golden light screen, which had been divided into more than three hundred array patterns, had its shimmering spiritual light become extremely dim.

"Go."

The foot-long golden needle flickered in the air, then transformed into a golden streak of light at the entrance to the Snake Cave and flew away swiftly.

A moment later, the golden needle flew out of the Snake Cave and struck the protective light barrier erected by the Red Phosphorus Demon Python.

The protective light barrier was as thin as paper in front of the golden needle.

In an instant, the golden array pierced through the light barrier.

The Red Phosphorus Python King reacted extremely quickly, immediately spitting out its inner core, which it had nurtured for a hundred years, to meet the flying golden needle.

This inner core was incredibly sturdy, temporarily blocking the golden needle.

However, with the protective light barrier broken, the hundred feather arrows and the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords, now without any resistance, bombarded the body of the Red Phosphorus Python King.

In just a few moves, the head of the red phosphorus python was severed by the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords.

With the death of this demon, the inner core that had resisted the Geng Metal Cloud Splitting Needle also fell to the ground.
