"That was close!"

Ye Cang's heart pounded in his chest.

He had almost died!

Behind him, Xue Long was so angry he almost spat blood after missing his attack.

By the time he retrieved his weapon and chased Ye Cang again, the distance between them had widened considerably.

The two chased each other all the way to the city center.

Several minutes later.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, Ye Cang, who was flying ahead, had his vision go black.

Before he could even see clearly, a massive shadowy figure attacked from the side. A slight contact was enough to send him flying dozens of meters, crashing into a building on the side.

"Damn it, what is this thing?"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Ye Cang quickly looked outside.

He saw a python, about fifty meters long and three meters in diameter, staring directly at him.

Its silvery-white scales shimmered with a blinding light, adorned with patterns of purple lightning.

As its forked tongue flickered, an incredibly foul odor wafted out.

"What a terrifying aura!"

"It's a low-level Beast Sovereign, the Purple Lightning Silver Python!"

Looking at the massive body before him, Ye Cang's heart trembled.

He had checked the information beforehand; there shouldn't be any Beast Sovereigns here.

Roar!

With a roar, a stream of purple mist spewed from the Purple Lightning Silver Python's mouth, enveloping Ye Cang.

"Not good!"

Ye Cang hurriedly fled into the distance again.

Given the presence of a Beast Sovereign, it was hard to imagine how many ferocious beasts were in its pack.

If he got caught, let alone Xue Long, he wouldn't be able to escape from these beasts.

"Brat, get out of my way!"

Xue Long had also caught up.

However, he was now blinded by rage. Seeing the Purple Lightning Silver Python blocking his path, he thrust his spear without hesitation.

Seeing Xue Long attack, a flicker of anger flashed in the Purple Lightning Silver Python's somewhat intelligent eyes. It roared, and its massive tail lashed out again.

Boom!

In an instant, amidst the violent collision, the surrounding buildings trembled, and dust billowed.

The Purple Lightning Silver Python then spat out purple venomous mist again, sweeping towards Xue Long.

Instantly, the dust mixed with the venomous mist, completely obscuring Xue Long's vision.

"Damn it!"

The venomous mist blocked his sight.

Seeing Ye Cang disappear, Xue Long was so furious he almost spat blood.

He flashed back, retreated quickly, then leaped from the rooftop, looking towards where Ye Cang had fled.

The area was now shrouded in a hazy gray mist, with no movement.

Hiss...

Just then, a large amount of purple venomous mist suddenly appeared around them.

Looking around, Xue Long found himself surrounded by numerous Purple Lightning Silver Pythons of varying sizes within a radius of several hundred meters. They coiled around the buildings, slithering upwards, staring at Xue Long in the sky and spewing venomous gas.

Inside a building several hundred meters away, Ye Cang stood sideways by the window, watching the area where he had fled. A large number of Purple Lightning Silver Pythons were converging there.

"Finally, I'm free!"

He murmured, looking at the Gray Mist Zone Detector in his hand.

It was densely packed with red dots, with twenty to thirty high-level Beast General level life fluctuations.

"This place isn't safe. Even if Xue Long sneaks over, I won't know. I should leave."

In the distance, the poisonous mist churned, and roars continued. Xue Long seemed to be fighting the Purple Lightning Silver Pythons.

But in less than two minutes, the roars gradually faded.

It seemed a victor had been decided.

In the center of the battlefield, unseen by Ye Cang.

A black shadow broke through the encirclement of poisonous fog and shot straight into the distance.

Xue Long was defeated!

His combat power might be immense, but within the poisonous fog of the Purple Lightning Silver Python, without sufficient preparation, even a seasoned War Venerable could be poisoned and die on the spot.

Let alone Xue Long, who had only just become a beginner War Venerable.

Far from the city center, Xue Long's eyes were terrifyingly grim.

He took out his phone and sent a message.

Less than two minutes later, Jiang Rongxuan, Bai Song, Luo Shan, and Feng Quan all rushed over.

"Immediately send orders back for your people to keep an eye on Crimson Cloud City. If Ye Cang returns, tell me immediately. Even if he's within the city, I will kill him."

Xue Long spoke fiercely.

"As for you four, gather your family's manpower immediately and come here to search for Ye Cang's tracks."

Upon hearing this, the four were stunned, but seeing Xue Long's ravenous gaze, their scalps tingled.

They felt that if they dared to disobey, Xue Long would likely kill them first to vent his anger.

Thus, the four reluctantly took out their phones and began issuing orders.

Afterward, the four scattered in different directions to search.

Meanwhile.

Ye Cang went directly to the other side of the city.

Within minutes, he had found a ferocious beast tribe.

A tribe of Lion Mastiff Dogs.

These were ferocious beasts resembling lions, each over two meters tall with long fur all over their bodies, their size comparable to large military off-road vehicles.

Looking at the detector, the life signatures of the Lion Mastiff Dogs here numbered over three hundred.

Leading them was a high-level Beast General, nearly ten meters tall, entirely silver-white, looking very majestic.

In addition to it, there were ten mid-level Beast Generals.

"It's you!"

After observing for a while, Ye Cang rested for an hour, waiting for his mental energy to recover somewhat, then he directly attacked.

In an instant, the remaining 12 'King Slayer Flying Swords' flew out, charging towards the Lion Mastiff Dog tribe below.

Puchi...

A faint sound was heard as a Lion Mastiff Dog's forehead was directly pierced, leaving a large hole.

It was completely dead.

He then directly brandished the God Slaying Sword and charged towards the strongest Beast Generals.

On the system panel, the Life Energy value began to soar.

More than ten minutes later.

All the Lion Mastiff Dogs were annihilated.

[Life Energy: 1927]

Looking at the 'Life Energy' value displayed on the system panel.

Ye Cang rejoiced.

Although the number of monsters in this tribe was smaller, their quality was significantly higher.

They could provide him with more Life Energy.

"How should I allocate my points?"

Looking at the various attributes that could be enhanced, Ye Cang fell into deep thought.

After calculating for a moment, Ye Cang looked at the 'Combat Skill' column.

"1927 points of Life Energy, at the current ten-to-one ratio, can be exchanged for about 192 attribute points. For the 'Physique' attribute, it can only enhance strength by 19.2 tons."

"At that time, my maximum strength will reach 304 tons, which will be enough to contend with Xue Long."

With this thought, Ye Cang looked at the system panel.

[Combat Skill: Aurora Sword Wings (First Tier 134/1000)]

"And if I add points to Aurora Sword Wings, it can reach the second tier. Then I will be able to control Artistic Conception, and at least I won't be suppressed by Xue Long's Artistic Conception during combat."

"Furthermore, it will allow my burst of strength and speed to double."

"At the same time, the remaining Life Energy can increase my strength by about ten tons, which might be more cost-effective."

Having made up his mind, Ye Cang began to allocate his points.

He allocated 1060 points to the 'Physique' attribute, which could increase his strength by 10.6 tons.

The rest were directly added to Aurora Sword Wings.

As Ye Cang was allocating his stats, a figure appeared not far away.

It was Luo Shan.

They had been searching around the edge of the city, and he hadn't expected to hear a noise just now, so he hurried over to check.

As a result, he had unexpectedly run into Ye Cang.

Without hesitation, he directly sent a message and then rapidly retreated.

"Lord Xue, Ye Cang is here!"
