Tian Sha made arrangements, and taking his junior brothers, his figure flashed violently, quickly chasing in the direction the Horned Dragon had gone.

Seeing Tian Sha leave Yun Qian behind, Bei Qing Si frowned, but didn't say anything. Yun Qian also awkwardly flew back to the mountain peak.

"Zhong Shan isn't dead! Quick, quick, save Zhong Shan!" Tian Ling'er cried out. Tears streamed down her face, and her body twisted constantly, as if she wanted to break free from Bei Qing Si's pull and rush down to find Zhong Shan.

"Ling'er, Zhong Shan is beyond saving," Yun Qian immediately said to Tian Ling'er.

"I don't believe it! Zhong Shan will be fine!" Tian Ling'er shouted.

Bei Qing Si, however, shook her head and sighed. Bei Qing Si's heart was very complicated. She hoped Zhong Shan would die, and yet she also hoped he would live. If Zhong Shan died, then the previous incident would become a thing of the past, and she wouldn't have to worry about it. But for some reason, she also hoped Zhong Shan could miraculously escape with his life. Her heart felt very conflicted.

"No, Zhong Shan isn't dead! He's definitely not dead!" Tian Ling'er cried out.

Zhong Shan wasn't dead. Indeed, just as Tian Ling'er said, Zhong Shan was truly not dead at this moment. If the great red snake had attacked Zhong Shan, perhaps Zhong Shan would already be dead. However, it had swallowed Zhong Shan into its belly.

As soon as he entered the great red snake's belly, Zhong Shan felt everything around him go dark. His body passed through a slippery passage, and then stopped in a place where everything around him was flesh.

However, this flesh was only soft enough for him to pass through that passage. In the blink of an eye, the soft flesh turned as hard as adamantine boulders, incredibly tough, and it constantly contracted and twisted, as if trying to completely crush him. Moreover, in this squeezed area, there was a large amount of liquid that irritated his skin, causing Zhong Shan to suddenly feel pain all over his body.

The stomach. The great red snake's stomach.

This was the great red snake's stomach. Zhong Shan immediately identified the location. On the verge of death, Zhong Shan wanted to quickly counterattack, but the large amount of stomach muscles made it impossible for Zhong Shan to move.

Heavenly Devil Body Tempering Great Technique!

He quickly used the Heavenly Devil Body Tempering Great Technique, causing the bones in his body, which were about to be crushed, to quickly support themselves. However, the squeezing of the stomach muscles was still not enough, and Zhong Shan struggled painfully.

Red Phoenix Mist!

A large amount of Red Phoenix Mist surged out in all directions as if it were free, rushing into the great red snake's body.

No, the corrosive power of this stomach acid is too strong.

What to do?

Absorb!

Zhong Shan quickly controlled his Storage Bracelet, rapidly absorbing the contents of the stomach. No matter what was there, put it all in! Stomach acid, or other residue, it didn't matter! As long as he could escape with his life.

A large amount of stomach acid was quickly loaded into the Storage Bracelet. Zhong Shan even felt something like a small wooden box being loaded into the Storage Bracelet. Does this great snake eat everything? It even eats wood?

The strange thought in his mind only flashed for a moment before the pain from the great snake's stomach muscles squeezing him became unbearable. Even with the Heavenly Devil Body Tempering Great Technique, Zhong Shan felt like his entire body was about to be crushed.

Red Phoenix Mist, a large amount of Red Phoenix Mist surged towards the great red snake. Underground, the great red snake's eyes suddenly turned red, and its body twisted uncomfortably, struggling rapidly, becoming extremely agitated.

Having been hit by the number one aphrodisiac in the world, the great red snake's body was in chaos. However, the power of its stomach did not decrease at all, and it was still fiercely squeezing Zhong Shan.

All the stomach acid had been put into the Storage Bracelet, but the squeezing force was getting stronger and stronger. Zhong Shan's eyes widened in unbearable pain, red veins popping out. Zhong Shan fiercely resisted, using all his strength to hold on, because Zhong Shan knew that he couldn't relax even a little at this moment. If he relaxed even a tiny bit, he would immediately be squeezed into a pulp by these stomach muscles, and then he would be completely dead.

Under the tremendous squeezing and churning, Zhong Shan was reaching his limit. It was as if with just a little more force, Zhong Shan would collapse.

Veins popped out all over Zhong Shan's body, and he gritted his teeth. A strong desire to survive made Zhong Shan struggle fiercely.

"Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Zhong Shan let out a huge roar. In an instant, Zhong Shan's body expanded by another circle, and Zhong Shan felt as if his entire body's strength had increased again.

Heavenly Devil Body Tempering Great Technique, Second Stage.

Three times the strength, three times the power. Finally, at this most critical moment, Zhong Shan broke through. A generation of fierce individuals quickly displayed his ferocious side, shaking his arm violently. The Great Saber Nightmare was instantly grasped in his hand and fiercely slashed at the Great Hong snake's stomach.

The Great Hong snake had already been affected by the Red Phoenix Mist, and its entire body had become chaotic. Its body was constantly twisting wildly underground, its movements no longer clear, just a frantic thrashing. When its stomach was suddenly struck by the saber, the Great Hong snake suddenly shot upwards in pain.

Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In its confusion, the Great Hong snake painfully burst out of the ground, uprooting a large tree from its base.

Bang~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The large snake fell into a forest, twisting its body wildly. Its tail whipped rapidly, destroying a large number of trees and vegetation. The forest instantly became chaotic.

"Exterminate~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Zhong Shan let out one last roar. With three times his full strength, he fiercely swung his saber at the Great Hong snake's abdomen. Under the immense force, he instantly split open the Great Hong snake's stomach. With the full power of the strike, a large amount of fiery red malevolent energy was brought out, slashing open the Great Hong snake's abdomen.

Whoosh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With a loud sound, the Great Saber split open the snake's belly, and the strong external light instantly shone in.

With the stomach broken, the stomach muscles seemed to instantly lose strength and became soft.

Zhong Shan's body quickly squeezed out of the abdomen, accompanied by a large amount of snake blood, emerging from the snake's belly.

A large opening was made in the Great Hong snake's abdomen, and a large amount of contents flowed out from inside. At this moment, the Great Hong snake also seemed to suddenly regain consciousness. It turned its head to look at its abdomen, and a strong disbelief flashed in its eyes. Dead, it's dead?

The large snake's body twisted continuously, as if making a final struggle, but the struggle was useless. The more it struggled, the less strength it had, and the less vitality remained.

"Zhong Shan~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

From a distant mountain peak, Tian Ling'er's startled cry suddenly came.

Originally, Bei Qing Si and Yun Qian had given up, because a thirty-meter-long snake had strength close to the Golden Core Stage. Zhong Shan had only been in the Kaiyang Sect for a little over a year. Entering the snake's belly, even if he wasn't corroded, he would be crushed to death by the stomach. Moreover, now not even a snake could be seen, and they didn't know where to find the body. Only Tian Ling'er's constant calling made Bei Qing Si feel helpless.

After everyone else had left, as Tian Ling'er was calling out, suddenly, in a distant mountain valley, in a forest, a huge red snake suddenly burst out from underground. The red snake broke through a large tree and twisted in pain in the forest. Pain, it was pain.

The Great Hong snake was actually twisting in pain? Moreover, this Great Hong snake was the same one that had swallowed Zhong Shan before, exactly the same.

Seeing the Great Hong snake, Tian Ling'er's eyes burst with intense joy, while Bei Qing Si and Yun Qian showed surprise.

Then, the two saw something even more surprising. In the Great Hong snake's abdomen, half a saber suddenly appeared. One saber had opened a huge opening in its abdomen.

No, the saber was extending from the abdomen. In the blink of an eye, a body rolled out from inside.

Bei Qing Si and Yun Qian seemed to realize something. Taking Tian Ling'er with them, they quickly flew towards the twisting giant snake.

Seeing Zhong Shan escape death, Tian Ling'er cried out in surprise. Her original sad tears were instantly replaced by tears of excitement. Flying to the mountain valley, she quickly jumped off Bei Qing Si's long sword and rushed towards Zhong Shan.

As for Yun Qian, he took out his long sword and began attacking the severely injured, dying large snake.

Tian Ling'er threw herself into Zhong Shan's arms.

"Big bad guy, you scared me to death," Tian Ling'er cried out, and then a happy smile suddenly bloomed on her face.

Having just broken through the second level of the Heavenly Devil Body Tempering Great Technique, Zhong Shan was temporarily uncomfortable, his whole body aching. He watched Tian Ling'er cry and laugh in his arms. Zhong Shan softly said, "I'm dirty."

Indeed, Zhong Shan was covered in the Great Hong snake's blood and filth, and a large amount of foul smell, but Tian Ling'er held onto Zhong Shan and didn't show any disgust.

"Take him to the side, don't let the large snake hurt him again," Bei Qing Si said.

Hearing Bei Qing Si speak, Tian Ling'er's expression paused. Right, Zhong Shan is injured and can't be hurt by the big snake again. She picked up Zhong Shan and rushed towards a safe area in the distance.

Seeing Tian Ling'er like this, Zhong Shan smiled slightly. For some reason, his cold heart, which had been silent for many years, suddenly felt a warm sensation.

Bei Qing Si followed behind, watching Tian Ling'er happily holding Zhong Shan. For some reason, Bei Qing Si suddenly felt an empty feeling in her heart.

Dealing with the heavily injured big snake, Yun Qian alone was enough. As expected, by the time Zhong Shan was brought to a safe area, the Da Hong snake had been completely killed by Yun Qian.
