Battle Against the Giant Python

Heaven did not disappoint those who persevered. Following the blood trail, Wang Jingyu and Bibi Dong returned to the ten-thousand-year soul beast zone.

They found the cave where the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python was hiding.

But even after Wang Jingyu tossed several stones inside, the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python did not emerge.

It was clear that Yu Luomian had frightened it badly. Severely wounded, it had no desire to respond to Wang Jingyu's provocation.

Seeing that it refused to come out, Wang Jingyu had Bibi Dong retreat several dozen steps while he unleashed Dragon Tiger Sword Leap Flame into the cave.

Under the rampage of sword qi and blazing flames, the already gravely injured Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python could no longer endure it and charged out.

Upon seeing the two of them, the wounded Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python let out an enraged hiss.

These damned humans actually dared to come to its doorstep and provoke it! Where did they get the courage?

Even though it was severely injured and its strength had plummeted, it was still a 19,000-year soul beast.

It was not some useless creature that any human could bully!

Wang Jingyu gave Bibi Dong a solemn look and quietly instructed her.

"Dong'er, I'll hold it off from the front and use an Illusion Technique on it.

If you see its movements clearly slow down, don't hesitate. Attack it from behind.

You understand the saying about striking a snake seven inches from its head, right? This giant python's vital spot is behind its neck, where its body begins to thicken."

"Wait, you're going to hold it off from the front? Are you insane?

Even if it's seriously wounded, how could you possibly withstand it with your strength?"

Bibi Dong hurriedly tried to stop Wang Jingyu. In her view,

if she were the one holding off the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python head-on, she might be able to endure its attacks.

But Wang Jingyu had already darted forward and launched the first attack against the giant python.

The Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python flew into a rage at his sudden assault.

A mere human, insignificant as an ant, actually dared to recklessly attack it first.

Did he really think it had become so weak that anyone could bully it?

It immediately swung its tail, sending it crashing down toward Wang Jingyu like a massive whip.

As Wang Jingyu watched the enormous python tail smash down at him, he mocked it in a sarcastic tone.

"Damn it, do you think I'm some gopher, standing around waiting for your tail to smash me?"

The python tail came down incredibly fast, but before the Sharingan, that speed was nothing.

Wang Jingyu predicted where the tail would land and dodged aside.

The Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python's tail struck empty air. Already riddled with wounds, its tail split open further from the impact.

Blood immediately sprayed out like a fountain. The excruciating pain made it cry out repeatedly, doubling its fury.

Wang Jingyu was secretly delighted and seized the chance to kick it while it was down.

"Second Soul Skill, Dragon Tiger Sword Leap Flame!"

The sword-leap flames formed from blazing fire and sword qi rapidly closed in on the python's head.

Wang Jingyu also unleashed the second move of the Crimson Dragon Sword Art, Dragon's Dream Dodge.

At the same time, he used the first move of the sword art, Crimson Dragon Emerges from the Abyss, without regard for the cost.

Crimson Dragon Emerges from the Abyss could target a single opponent, rapidly charge toward them, and unleash a thunderous strike.

While using Dragon Tiger Sword Leap Flame to obscure the python's vision,

Wang Jingyu relied on the movement effects of Dragon's Dream Dodge and the charging effect of Crimson Dragon Emerges from the Abyss.

He closed to within ten meters of the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python's body, stomped the ground, and leaped high into the air.

Dragon Tiger Sword Leap Flame struck the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python's head. Its scales had already been completely stripped away in its battle with Yu Luomian.

Its body was covered in wounds from the beating it had taken, and the sword-leap flames clung to the wounds on its head, burning it and making it howl in agony.

The instant the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python regained its vision, the three tomoe in Wang Jingyu's eyes began spinning rapidly.

"Sharingan, Illusion Technique!"

With three Soul Rings each over four or five thousand years old supporting him, the cost of Wang Jingyu's Illusion Technique had decreased considerably.

But the gap between them was simply too great. The instant Wang Jingyu used the Illusion Technique on the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python,

a burning pain surged from his eyes, making him reflexively shut them.

Repeatedly forcing Illusion Techniques upon opponents stronger than himself had placed a tremendous burden on his eyes.

Still, the Illusion Technique quickly took effect.

The mighty Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python's eyes became vacant, and its movements visibly slowed.

Bibi Dong, who had been watching the battle, saw the obvious sluggishness in the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python's body.

Remembering Wang Jingyu's instructions, her fifth Soul Ring lit up instantly.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Death Thorn!"

(The original work never specified the fifth Soul Skill of Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor martial soul, so I made one up. Please forgive me, dear readers.)

A purple-black sharp blade appeared in Bibi Dong's right hand as she activated her fifth Soul Skill.

She shot forward like an arrow loosed from its bow, thrusting toward the giant python's vital spot like a comet chasing the moon.

A cold glint shone from the tip of the purple-black blade, proving just how sharp and terrifying it was.

Perhaps sensing Bibi Dong's threat from behind,

the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python, trapped within the Illusion Technique, began struggling violently, seemingly resisting the Sharingan's mental assault.

Its fierce resistance made the burning pain in Wang Jingyu's eyes grow increasingly intense.

He could even feel hot liquid flowing from his eyes.

His mind was perfectly clear. He knew that his eyes were operating beyond their limits and bleeding.

The Sharingan's power truly was formidable, but it also brought severe aftereffects.

But Wang Jingyu could not spare any attention for the pain in his eyes. They had to kill this 19,000-year Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ignoring the pain in his eyes, Wang Jingyu intensified the Illusion Technique once more, creating an illusion of peace and tranquility for the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python.

Inside the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python's mind, it seemed to have forgotten everything, as though everything that had just happened had been nothing more than a dream.

Every presence around it that could threaten it vanished without a trace.

Even the painful wounds across its body seemed to disappear. The comfort made it feel drowsy, as if it wanted to fall asleep.

This illusion eased the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python's struggles once again, and its previously taut body relaxed.

Just as it was about to truly drift into slumber, the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python felt something sharp suddenly pierce its vital spot.

The piercing pain instantly forced it awake from the Illusion Technique.

A human leaping high into the air suddenly appeared before it, and the human's eyes gave it an uneasy feeling.

It knew that those eyes had hypnotized it just now.

But it had no time to deal with the human before it. Instead, it shifted its gaze toward the one who had ambushed its vital spot.

Its enormous python eyes locked onto Bibi Dong.

Seeing the bloodstained thorn in Bibi Dong's right hand, it wished it could swallow her alive!
