"Roar..."
A tremendous roar rang out!
The Golden Giant Python moved with unparalleled speed, lunging out to land above Jade Virtue's head.
Pfft, pfft, pfft...
Countless azure sword lights rained down from overhead.

"Hahahaha..."
"That's right! Both your parents died by my hand!"
"There was never any misunderstanding!"
"Soon, you'll die by my hand too!"
"I'll personally send you down to
