Purple Lightning Silver Python

"Close one!"

Ye Cang's heart pounded.

He had almost died!

Behind him, Xue Long nearly spat blood in rage when he saw his attack miss.

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

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

Several minutes later.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, Ye Cang's vision went black as he flew ahead.

Before he could make out what had happened, a massive shadow lunged at him from the side. A mere glancing blow sent him flying dozens of meters, crashing into a building.

"Damn it, what the hell is that now?"

Ye Cang spat out a mouthful of blood and hurriedly looked outside.

A python over fifty meters long and about three meters in diameter was staring straight at him.

Its silvery-white scales gleamed with a blinding light, and purple lightning patterns ran across them.

Its flicking tongue gave off a foul stench.

"What a terrifying aura!"

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

Looking at the enormous creature before him, Ye Cang's heart gave a violent jolt.

He had checked the information in advance. By rights, a Beast Venerable shouldn't have appeared here.

Roar!

With a roar, the Purple Lightning Silver Python spewed a cloud of purple mist from its mouth, sending it billowing toward Ye Cang.

"Not good!"

Ye Cang hurriedly fled into the distance once more.

A beast clan with a Beast Venerable among its ranks—there was no telling how many vicious beasts it contained.

If he got caught up in them, he wouldn't escape their jaws, let alone Xue Long.

"You beast! Get out of my way!"

Xue Long had caught up as well.

But by now, rage had clouded his mind. Seeing the Purple Lightning Silver Python blocking his path, he thrust his spear at it without hesitation.

When the Purple Lightning Silver Python saw Xue Long attack, a glimmer of anger flashed in its intelligent eyes. It hissed, then lashed out with its enormous tail.

Boom!

The violent collision shook the surrounding buildings and sent dust billowing everywhere.

The Purple Lightning Silver Python spat purple venomous mist again, sweeping it toward Xue Long.

In an instant, the dust mixed with the poisonous fog, completely blocking Xue Long's view.

"Damn it!"

The poisonous fog obscured his vision.

When Ye Cang disappeared from sight, Xue Long was so furious he nearly spat blood.

He darted back, then leaped from a rooftop, using it to propel himself into the air as he looked toward the direction in which Ye Cang had last fled.

All he saw was the gray mist hanging in the air. Not a sound stirred.

Hiss, hiss...

Just then, a large amount of purple poisonous fog suddenly appeared around him.

Looking around, Xue Long saw that hundreds of meters in every direction were surrounded by Purple Lightning Silver Pythons of all sizes. They coiled around the buildings and slithered upward, staring at Xue Long in the air as they spewed poisonous gas from their mouths.

Hundreds of meters away, inside a building, Ye Cang stood by the window, watching the place he had fled from. A large number of Purple Lightning Silver Pythons were converging there.

"I finally shook him off!"

Murmuring to himself, Ye Cang looked at the Gray Mist Zone Detector in his hand.

It was covered in red dots, with the life signatures of more than twenty high-level Beast Generals among them.

"This place isn't safe. Even if Xue Long sneaks over, I might not notice him. I'd better get out of here first."

In the distance, poisonous fog churned as roars rang out without pause. Xue Long seemed to be fighting the Purple Lightning Silver Pythons.

But in less than two minutes, the hissing and roaring gradually faded.

It seemed the fight had been decided.

At the center of the battlefield, hidden from Ye Cang's view,

a dark figure burst through the encircling poisonous fog and raced off into the distance.

Xue Long had lost!

His combat strength might have been formidable, but without ample preparation, even a veteran War Venerable could be injured by the Purple Lightning Silver Python's poisonous fog and die on the spot.

And Xue Long had only just become a low-level War Venerable.

Far from the city center, Xue Long's expression was frighteningly dark.

He took out his phone and sent a message.

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

"Send word back immediately. Have your people keep an eye on Crimson Cloud City. If Ye Cang returns, tell me at once. Even if he's inside the city, I'll still kill him."

Xue Long spoke viciously.

"As for you, gather your Lineage members right now and bring them here to search for Ye Cang's whereabouts."

The men were taken aback, but at the sight of Xue Long's murderous glare, their scalps went numb.

They had a feeling that if they dared defy him, Xue Long would kill them first to vent his anger.

So they reluctantly took out their phones and began sending orders.

Then the four of them scattered, searching in different directions.

Elsewhere.

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

Within minutes, he had found a vicious beast clan.

A pack of Lion Mastiff Dogs.

These vicious beasts resembled lions. Each stood more than two meters tall, with long fur and bodies about the size of large military off-road vehicles.

Ye Cang glanced at the detector. The Lion Mastiff Dogs here had over three hundred life signatures.

Their leader was a high-level Beast General, nearly ten meters tall and silvery white from head to toe. It looked extremely majestic.

Besides it, there were ten mid-level Beast Generals.

"You'll do!"

After watching for a while, Ye Cang rested for an hour. Once his mental strength had recovered somewhat, he attacked.

In an instant, the twelve remaining King Slayer Flying Swords shot out, rushing toward the Lion Mastiff Dog pack below.

Pfft...

A faint sound rang out as a Lion Mastiff Dog's forehead was pierced clean through.

It was dead beyond any doubt.

Ye Cang charged straight at the strongest Beast Generals, God Slaying Sword in hand.

The Life Energy value on the system panel began rising rapidly.

More than ten minutes later,

every last Lion Mastiff Dog had been killed.

[Life Energy: 1927]

Looking at the Life Energy value displayed on the system panel,

Ye Cang felt a surge of delight.

Although this beast clan was smaller than the others, its members were considerably stronger.

They could provide him with more Life Energy.

"How should I allocate my points?"

Looking at the attributes he could increase, Ye Cang fell into thought.

After calculating for a moment, Ye Cang turned his attention to the 'Combat Skills' section.

"With 1,927 Life Energy, at the current ten-to-one ratio, I can get about 192 attribute points. For the 'Body' attribute, that can only add 19.2 tons of strength."

"Then my maximum strength will reach 304 tons, which should be enough for me to hold my own against Xue Long."

Thinking this, Ye Cang looked at the system panel.

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

"But if I put the points into Aurora Sword Wings, I can reach the second level. Then I'll be able to control the intent, so at least Xue Long's intent won't suppress me in battle."

"It'll also double the strength and speed I can unleash."

"And the remaining Life Energy can still raise my strength by about ten tons. That might be a better deal."

Having made up his mind, Ye Cang began allocating the points.

He assigned 1,060 points to the 'Body' attribute, increasing his strength by 10.6 tons.

He put the rest into Aurora Sword Wings.

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

It was Luo Shan.

They had been searching along the outskirts of the city. When he heard a sound nearby just now, he hurried over to investigate.

As it turned out, he had stumbled upon Ye Cang.

Without hesitation, he sent a message, then retreated at full speed.

"Lord Xue, Ye Cang is here!"
