"Hsssss!"
The Red Scale Python was thoroughly enraged by Chu Han's blade strike!
It whipped its massive head violently, charging straight toward Chu Han.
Chu Han had no time to dodge at all, instantly activating his Stone Skin state to take the blow head-on.
"Bang!"
A massive force surged from his arms, and Chu Han's entire body was sent flying like a cannonball.
He snapped three large trees in a row before his body smashed into the ground.
He only felt the vital energy roiling within his body, and a mouthful of fresh blood burst from his lips. His whole body felt as though it had fallen apart, racked with excruciating pain.
Cough, the strength of this giant python definitely exceeds one hundred thousand catties.
Chu Han endured the intense pain and got to his feet, only to see the Red Scale Python open its maw as a ball of flames, even more violent than before, surged toward him.
Where the flames passed, the ground was scorched pitch-black, and the surrounding air seemed to begin distorting. The scorching high heat made it nearly impossible for Chu Han to breathe.
At this juncture of life and death, Chu Han frantically searched for a way out.
His gaze suddenly caught sight of a pool of water not far away. Despite the intense heat, the pool still gave off wisps of cool air, clearly indicating it was very deep.
That's it!
Chu Han used all his strength, plunging into the pool of water like a sharp arrow.
A wave of coolness swept over his entire body, making him feel immensely refreshed, and even the pain on his body lessened a fraction.
The Red Scale Python is a Fire Attribute, so it shouldn't follow me into the water, right? Chu Han pondered inwardly.
Yet the Red Scale Python clearly had no such concerns. Twisting its massive body, it also plunged into the water, pursuing Chu Han.
"You beast!"
Chu Han was both alarmed and furious, but he had no other options left at this moment. His movements were even more restricted in the water, while the Red Scale Python remained incomparably agile. Its blood-red maw grew closer and closer, looking as though it was about to swallow him in one gulp.
"Do or die!"
Chu Han gritted his teeth, retrieved the Black Blood Stone from his storage space, and swallowed it in a single gulp.
There were many ways to use a Black Blood Stone, but swallowing it directly was the least recommended and most dangerous method!
A human's physical body was far weaker than that of a fierce beast; directly consuming a Black Blood Stone containing majestic essence-blood energy was very likely to cause one's body to explode outright.
Even a 3rd Rank Martial Artist would not dare to swallow it directly.
Even if they did consume it, they would need other medicinal pills to protect their body.
Chu Han swallowing it directly was being driven to a desperate impasse.
As soon as the Black Blood Stone entered his mouth, a majestic torrent of essence-blood energy surged down Chu Han's throat and into his body.
That energy was like a tidal wave, instantly flooding his limbs and bones. Chu Han felt as though his body was about to be blown apart.
"Crack, crack, snap~"
His entire skeleton emitted sounds like popping beans under the impact of this essence-blood energy.
All of his cells began to rupture from being bloated with energy, and Chu Han instantly turned into a bloody mess, with blood spurting outward from every single pore across his entire body.
The ferocity of the energy contained within the Black Blood Stone was far greater than he had imagined.
If this continued, he would inevitably be blown apart by this energy!
In his desperation, Chu Han immediately took out the remaining two Body Tempering Pills from his space and swallowed them all in one go.
Once the two pills went down, the medicinal power of the Body Tempering Pills began to rapidly repair his flesh and cells while helping his body swiftly absorb this essence-blood energy.
Chu Han could sense his physical body growing stronger at a blistering pace—a thousand times faster than his normal cultivation!
At the same time, the essence-blood energy he had yet to absorb also transformed into a bloody elemental power that lingered around his body.
Furthermore, he could control this bloody elemental power!
With this elemental power, his strength multiplied severalfold, making him capable of fighting the Red Scale Python!
Moreover, battle was the best form of cultivation, which could in turn help him rapidly absorb the energy of the Black Blood Stone.
At this moment, the Red Scale Python had gone mad.
Watching Chu Han swallow the Black Blood Stone right before its eyes, it instantly flew into a rage.

Its massive body twisted violently, its water-barrel-thick serpent body parting the current, and it opened its bloody maw to lunge and bite at Chu Han.
If it were before, Chu Han in the underwater environment would never have been able to dodge this strike.
At this moment, however, he had undergone a complete metamorphosis.
With a fierce kick of his feet against the water, his body shot out obliquely upward like an arrowfish, with matchless sharpness.
The Red Scale Python's giant serpent head missed yet again, slamming viciously into a rock at the bottom of the pool.
Now is the time!
A cold light flashed in Chu Han's eyes as he gripped his long saber tightly.
The power within his body and the bloody elemental Qi lingering around him condensed simultaneously upon the blade!
"Fourth Form of the Army Breaker!"
This time it was the fourth form empowered by elemental power, and also the true fourth form!
A one-meter-long bloody blade radiance extended from the tip of the saber, hacking fiercely into the seven-inch vulnerable spot of the Red Scale Python!
The seven-inch spot of the Red Scale Python had previously had its scale defense broken open by Chu Han's blade, and it was currently the weakest part of its entire body.
"Pfft!"
Meeting no resistance whatsoever, the bloody blade radiance sliced right through the Red Scale Python's flesh to a depth of half a foot.
Dark red serpent blood instantly exploded underwater and rapidly diffused, instantly dying the entire pool a pale red.
Having suffered grievous injury, the Red Scale Python immediately emitted a hiss while also sensing genuine danger!
It twisted its massive body frantically, at times striking the pool walls, at times lashing the pool floor with its serpent head, attempting to shake Chu Han off.
Chu Han had anticipated this. After delivering his slash, his left hand seized the flesh at the Red Scale Python's seven-inch spot fiercely, his fingers sinking deep into the wound, and relying on the twisting momentum of the serpent's body, he clung desperately to its back.
"Splash!"
Seeing that it could not shake Chu Han off, the Red Scale Python lunged fiercely toward the surface of the pool, bursting out of the water in an instant and reaching the outside.
Once outside, it could use its flames to burn this damned human to death!
The Red Scale Python's massive body landed on the ground, and it immediately pivoted its serpent head, its bloody maw aiming straight at the Chu Han upon its back as it spewed a torrent of roaring flames!
"Boom!"
The red flames instantly engulfed both Chu Han and the Red Scale Python.
Chu Han felt a wave of bone-chilling scorching heat wash over him, and he hurriedly mobilized his bloody elemental power to shield his body, insulating himself from the burning of the flames.
At the same time, he poured even more elemental power into his long saber, executing the fourth form of the Army Breaker to aim straight at the wound on the Red Scale Python's seven-inch spot and driving it in viciously!
"Die!"
The bloody long saber pierced straight through the Red Scale Python's seven-inch spot, the tip emerging from the other side and dragging out a stream of scalding serpent blood.
"Hsss!"
The Red Scale Python emitted a final, shrill hiss, its massive body beginning to thrash frantically. Its serpent tail whipped away the surrounding trees and black stones, churning the ground into a chaotic mess.
Soon, however, its body grew increasingly weak, the amplitude of its thrashing shrinking until it finally stiffened completely upon the ground, retaining no further vitality.
Chu Han released his grip on the long saber and let out a long breath.
"A 2nd Rank fierce beast, finally taken down!"
After a bout of combat, half of the Black Blood Stone's essence-blood energy had already been absorbed by him, and his physical body continued to grow stronger without pause.
At that moment, a ferocious wave of hunger struck him.
This sensation was as though he had not eaten a full meal in several lifetimes, bringing an incomparable hunger from his flesh all the way down to his soul.
This reminded him of a side effect of absorbing the Black Blood Stone: it induced a monstrous hunger, requiring one to prepare a large quantity of food beforehand.
Yet having plunged into crisis back then, he simply could not afford to worry about such things.
He needed to eat something right now to replenish his energy and alleviate this wave of hunger.
However, this craving born of hunger grew increasingly intense, rendering him unable to control it.
Chu Han lunged fiercely at the Red Scale Python's wound, swallowing the beast's flesh and blood in massive gulps.
"Glug, glug!"
The fresh blood of the Red Scale Python was sucked into Chu Han's belly in huge mouthfuls, his stomach acting like a bottomless pit at this moment as it greedily absorbed those fluids.
After a hearty drink, the bloody elemental power swirling around Chu Han's body seemed to ignite, radiating astonishing heat.
