Conflict Erupts

Yu Luomian's warning put everyone present on high alert, and they all summoned their martial spirits.

For a moment, yellow and purple Soul Rings rose beneath their feet.

Yu Luomian, his expression grave, also summoned his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial spirit.

Two yellow, two purple, and three black—the optimal Soul Ring configuration demonstrated his exceptional strength.

He was so prepared not because he could not defeat the approaching 19,000-year Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python.

After all, besides defeating this giant python, he also had to protect these clan juniors.

More importantly, his daughter was nearby. Where there were attachments, there were concerns, so he had no choice but to be exceedingly cautious.

Under everyone's vigilant watch, the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python finally revealed its true form.

Having gained great intelligence, it was wary when it saw that there was actually a Soul Saint-level expert among the humans.

But Wang Jingyu and Bibi Dong were less than a hundred meters away.

No matter what, it was unwilling to give up the chance to hunt them down.

It raised its enormous body and flicked its tongue at Yu Luomian in warning.

It was telling him not to meddle in its affairs as it slowly slithered toward where the two were hiding.

Naturally, Yu Luomian had no idea what the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python was trying to convey.

He thought it was stalling him, looking for an opportunity to attack his juniors.

His expression immediately darkened. He rushed toward the direction in which the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python was crawling and shouted angrily.

"Beast! Do not flaunt your ferocity! I know your cultivation has not come easily, so leave at once. Otherwise, beware—I will destroy you!"

The Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python was both fearful and furious at his warning.

It merely wanted to hunt down those two humans. What did that have to do with this Soul Saint?

Yet this Soul Saint stood in its way and would not let it pursue them. This was simply bullying a beast beyond all reason.

It hissed furiously at Yu Luomian, indicating that it had no intention of becoming his enemy and telling him not to interfere.

But Yu Luomian took the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python's hiss as a provocation, and his aura grew even more imposing.

Seeing this, Wang Jingyu was in an excellent mood. He summoned the system and began mocking them in a snide tone.

Hahaha, I'm dying. Both man and beast are idiots, acting like you can understand each other.

Fight! Hurry up and fight! I can't wait anymore.

Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python, weren't you so fierce when you were chasing me just now? If you've got the guts, fight a Soul Saint! Why are you such a coward now?

Come on, Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python! I'm cheering for you, so don't let me down!

Yu Luomian, why are you such a coward too? The Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python is already bullying you, yet you still don't dare attack. Are you even a man?

As a man, you're such a coward that you probably don't even have the balls, do you?

If you don't have the balls, where did your daughter come from? Did your wife cuckold you?

Oh my, I think I've discovered something. Yu Luomian, hurry up and attack! Prove that you're a real man!

After Wang Jingyu finished mocking them, a smug smile appeared on his face.

Then a notification sounded by his ear: "Congratulations, host. Diary upload complete. The Soul Power of your second Soul Ring has increased by 200 years."

The Soul Power of his second Soul Ring had increased by 200 years? That meant his second Soul Ring was now 4,800 years old. Wonderful.

Wang Jingyu suddenly found himself liking to mock others through the Diary System more and more.

No matter how many times he mocked someone in a day, he would gain rewards of varying sizes.

Although the rewards were not much each time, even a mosquito's leg was still meat. Added together, they were quite substantial.

While Wang Jingyu was mocking them, the standoff between Yu Luomian and the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python grew increasingly tense.

The tense atmosphere made the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disciples afraid to look away. They had to remain ready for battle at all times.

Despite issuing several warnings, Yu Luomian was ignored by the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python.

It had already decided to force its way toward where Wang Jingyu and Bibi Dong were hiding.

As long as it dragged those two detestable humans out, this Soul Saint would surely understand its intentions.

But it had completely underestimated Yu Luomian's determination to protect his juniors. When it tried to force its way through, Yu Luomian stopped holding back.

"Beast, you're courting death! First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw! Third Soul Skill, Wrath of Thunder!"

As Yu Luomian unleashed his first and third Soul Skills,

his hand transformed into a gigantic dragon claw crackling with electricity.

He also entered a berserk state, increasing his attack power by one hundred percent and his Soul Power by fifty percent.

As long as Yu Luomian did not voluntarily stop using his third Soul Skill, the state would continue until his stamina was completely exhausted.

Yu Luomian swung his massive dragon claw at the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python.

The Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python was also seething with rage. It knew it could only fight back!

Facing the dragon claw reaching for it, it dodged swiftly, whipping its massive tail toward Yu Luomian.

At the same time, it opened its bloody maw, and the venom glands in its mouth sprayed deadly poison at its opponent.

Yu Luomian's expression changed, and he immediately dodged. Even he was deeply wary of such venom.

Wang Jingyu watched the battle between man and beast with great interest.

He took out some beef jerky from his storage space and handed it to Bibi Dong, who was covering her mouth and snickering.

"Here. How can we watch such an exciting battle without snacks?

Too bad I didn't keep any peanuts or sunflower seeds in my storage space. Here, make do with beef jerky for now."

Bibi Dong snatched the beef from Wang Jingyu's hand, then took out several plates of pastries and dried fruits, as well as several bottles of mysterious liquid, from her Storage Spirit Tool.

"Hehe, good thing I had the foresight to prepare plenty of snacks and fruit juice before leaving the Holy Hall."

Wang Jingyu's eyes lit up, and the two exchanged a smile. This girl had come well prepared.

The two happily drank fruit juice, ate beef jerky and pastries, and watched the exciting battle before them. They could not have felt more at ease.

As Bibi Dong watched the fight, her Diary Instance was conspicuously floating beside her.

She had snickered earlier because Wang Jingyu's relentless ridicule of Yu Luomian and the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python had made her unable to hold back her laughter.

The battle between the two sides lasted for more than ten minutes and once reached a fever pitch.

Although the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python was weaker than Yu Luomian, it had no concerns at all. It sprayed venom wildly without fearing accidental injury.

Yu Luomian, however, was different. Not only did he have to prevent the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python from harming his juniors, but he also had to avoid being struck by its venom.

Still, his strength was far greater than that of the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python.

The rampaging Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python was beaten until it was covered in blood.

Yu Luomian's dragon claw had even torn open a gash in its abdomen, and python blood continuously flowed from it.

Likewise, Yu Luomian's arm was splashed by the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python's venom, and his skin had been corroded black.

However, with the resistance of a Dragon-type Soul Beast and the help of a Detoxification Pill, he still retained some fighting strength.

The two stared at each other, neither willing to give an inch...
