Blood Battle with the Python

Blood Battle with the Python

"Python, I know your blood is full of deadly poison. I just refuse to believe you can escape this calamity yourself." This time, Lin Yu raised his speed once more. He felt that if this fight continued, he would die a miserable death as well.

But there was no other way. Since he had chosen not to leave, then even if he had to weep, he would walk this path to the end. Otherwise, he would truly be letting down all the spiritual power he had spent here.

He bit through his finger, and drops of blood flowed from it. He had already abandoned his sword and charged in barehanded. To the python, he looked like a fool. Even with a weapon, he had not been a match for it—let alone now that he had thrown his weapon aside.

Jin Yu abandoned his sword, shedding a few measures of weight and becoming a little more nimble. The moment he reached the python, he rose straight up, carrying the air of a ruler overlooking all beneath heaven. Lin Yu shuddered, then climbed directly up his body.

The only thing he had not expected was that the python's body was covered in a layer of slime. It actually made climbing easier; if it had been any thicker, the two of them might as well have become family.

A smile suddenly appeared on Lin Yu's face. His blood had pooled in his palm for quite some time. In an instant, he slapped it onto the giant snake's body. The venomous snake was dumbfounded this time. What was he doing? Its body carried immense poison; once their bloodlines fused, Jin Yu would likely become meat on its chopping block.

That first strike had been far from enough to kill it. Lin Yu was growing more and more confident. Seeing this, he said nothing and bit through his finger again.

His pace quickened by several degrees. Lin Yu smiled when he saw it. He would certainly win this battle.

The Myriad-Poison Physique contained the poisons of all things under heaven. Poison was poison, yet when it came into contact with an even deadlier poison, it became an antidote. The poisons that entered Lin Yu's body were merely absorbed by the Myriad-Poison Physique and turned into nourishment. As for the python, that trace of blood which had just entered its body had already begun spreading through its seven-zhang frame.

"Do you know why I used my own blood to strike your body?" The python shook its head. It did not know, nor could it understand. The human youth before it gave it the feeling that he was ruthless toward himself—and even more ruthless toward his enemies.

"I'm not telling you." As he spoke, his body moved again. With another palm strike, he slapped the blood in his hand onto the venomous snake's body. Lin Yu smiled at the sight.

He could still endure the loss of this blood. What mattered most now was leading the python in circles. Only then could he speed up the circulation of poison through its bloodline. Without another thought, he turned and began to run.

The python did not hesitate in the slightest. This was meat already at its mouth; it absolutely could not let it escape. Jin Yu let out a long breath before saying, "I absolutely won't let you die pleasantly. Can you feel it now?" A faint smile also appeared at the corner of Lin Yu's mouth.

In an instant, the python felt a strange presence within its body. It glared viciously before saying, "I never expected a brat like you to be so ruthless."

At this moment, Lin Yu felt his body beginning to give out as well. He turned and shouted, "You were the one who provoked us in the first place! What do you think my Myriad-Poison Physique is for?" And in that instant, he collapsed to the ground. He had completely exhausted himself; Lin Yu had truly been badly injured in this battle.

Just as the python was about to swallow Lin Yu whole, a mouthful of essence blood sprayed from its foul, gaping maw. It immediately collapsed to the ground. Its seven-zhang body crashing down startled flocks of birds into flight. Jin Yu's body stirred, and at that very moment, Ding Meng came running over.

The moment she saw the snake's tail, she narrowed her eyes and stepped forward. Then she saw Lin Yu, immediately gathered his body into her arms, and said with a hint of tears in her voice, "I... I never thought you would come help me. Jin Yu! Should I thank you, or should I hate you?"

She drew a long breath. The wounds on Lin Yu's body healed in an instant; otherwise, who knew how heartbroken she would have been.

"I only hope you wake up. The ring you gave me is still with me." If Jin Yu had been awake right now, he never would have expected her to mention the ring.

Jin Yu's injuries had already healed, but he remained in a dazed state. Within his dream, layers upon layers of mist could be seen.

That spiritual power, the blood battle with the python amid the mist—why was he now in this place? After seeing this, Jin Yu let out a long breath and thought, What exactly are these things before me? Why do I feel that the surrounding mist is so closely connected to me?

Lin Yu had not thought of those matters and continued walking forward. These things before him were truly hard to make sense of.

At this moment, Lin Yu sighed again. "Where exactly is this place? It feels like a road that can never be walked to the end." Lin Yu walked toward the rear. He felt as though something behind them was watching them.

"Give me back my life." It was the python Lin Yu had killed. His eyes narrowed, and a trace of resolve appeared within them before he shouted, "Your strength was greater than ours to begin with, yet you wanted to treat us as food. What kind of intentions were those?" As Lin Yu spoke, his eyes narrowed and he swung his hand again.

"If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time. Once I wake up, I'll chop you into pieces and make you my food." Lin Yu held a grudge, but he would not let delicious food go either. This python had been his prey from the start, so naturally it was his food.

"You're ruthless. You truly are ruthless." Hearing this, Lin Yu waved his hand again and said, "Get lost. Lie there properly and don't speak." At Lin Yu's words, the python instantly turned into a wisp of mist. At that moment, he could sense that it had been transformed from the mist.

"Tch, it's merely a Transformation Spirit. No, where exactly is this place? Why does everything here feel so real? And what exactly is a Transformation Spirit..." Lin Yu let out a long sigh. He did not know how he knew these things.
