Silver Frost Python Demon

The moment the Spirit Stone was thrown in, the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation firmly locked the giant python in the very center!

The giant python, trapped, immediately began to struggle, its thick, long body whipping up dust and sand.

Lin Xiao didn't even blink before immediately manipulating the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation.

He swiftly retreated all nine life gates and simultaneously opened all ninety-nine killing gates, instantly tearing the thick layer of black slime on the giant python's body to shreds!

In an instant, dust, sand, and stone chips mixed with the black viscous liquid filled the entire formation, swirling everywhere.

The giant python was instantly stripped bare, leaving only its black flesh and blood! It roared in pain and slammed its head against the heavy array walls.

However, its attacks seemed to have no effect on the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation; the formation walls remained completely unmoved.

Lin Xiao immediately focused all thirty-six of his killing techniques on one point and attacked the giant python's vital spot! Meanwhile, the other killing techniques were unleashed simultaneously, attacking it from different directions!

The giant python was already injured, and when it was attacked so fiercely by the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation, it immediately collapsed to the ground.

However, the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation did not let the dying python go. The Ninety-Nine Killing Gates gathered their killing moves and delivered a heavy blow to the giant python lying on the ground. Suddenly, nine bright lights flashed within the formation. It turned out to be nine Sword Qi that burst out from the Killing Gates!

The nine Sword Qi slashed fiercely across the giant python's body, and before it could even hiss, it was sliced into ten pieces.

Not feeling at ease seeing Lin Xiao cut into ten pieces, he activated the final strike of the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation.

Divine Soul Annihilation!

This is the strongest move of the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation.

The moment it was activated, a burst of light erupted from the array, locking onto the giant python's corpse on the ground. Then, all the light began to converge towards its body, centering on the python's head.

Until the light tightly enveloped the giant python's soul, shrinking it into a massive python form.

The giant python clearly hadn't expected that its soul would be discovered and captured! It struggled excitedly.

"Hiss--"

Eleven years ago, it barely escaped with its life and came here to recuperate! It can't die like this! It's unwilling to accept it!

However, no matter how much it struggled, the light that enveloped its soul remained unbroken, and its resistance was futile.

Suddenly, just as it was struggling to break free of its restraints, the light contracted!

The next instant, the giant python's soul was crushed by the suddenly contracting light!

The shattered soul, like falling stars, scattered in all directions.

Ultimately, it vanished into the air within the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation.

The python's corpse, devoid of its soul, instantly turned into a pile of grayish-black rotting flesh, emanating a putrid stench.

The Two Aspects Life and Death Formation perfectly completed its mission, completely annihilating the target. After Lin Xiao closed the formation, five Spirit Stone were spat out from the formation plate.

Looking at the five Spirit Stone on the array plate, Lin Xiao thought to himself, "This array is quite interesting; it even refunds any unused Spirit Stone."

These were his last thoughts while he was still conscious.

The next moment, his mind went blank, his eyes closed, and he collapsed to the side.

--

When Lin Xiao woke up again, he opened his eyes and saw the familiar roof of his room.

The crack in the roof leaked rain all year round. His father patched it many times, but it didn't help much. It would crack again whenever it rained heavily.

He had just used Law Technique to completely repair it some time ago.

Lin Xiao felt extremely heavy all over, and his bones felt like they had been crushed, causing him great pain.

He immediately used his Spiritual Power to cleanse his entire body.

After using Spiritual Power to cleanse his entire body, he felt much more relaxed.

He turned his head and saw Lin Dayou sleeping soundly by the bedside.

Beside Lin Dayou lay a piece of black wood; who else could it be but Liao Pantu, who was carrying the Soul-Nourishing Wood around?

As if sensing his awakening, Liao Pantu's upper body emerged from the Soul-Nourishing Wood.

He glanced at the sleeping Lin Dayou and then spoke telepathically to Lin Xiao:

"You're finally awake."

Lin Xiao was stunned when he received the telepathic message for the first time, and looked at Liao Pantu with a confused expression.

Seeing his expression, Liao Pantu transmitted his voice to him in disbelief:

"You don't know how to Sound Transmission Technique?"

Lin Xiao honestly shook his head.

He forgot about this when he created the Law Technique.

So Liao Pantu had no choice but to teach him this essential Sound Transmission Technique for cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Realm by step.

Fortunately, the Law Technique wasn't difficult, and Lin Xiao learned it in no time.

Then the two were finally able to communicate normally.

Lin Xiao quickly voiced his doubts:

"Wasn't I poisoned? How... how did I get back?"

Hearing his question, Liao Pantu stroked his beard and said:

"After you left that day, I returned to the sect and happened to run into Sun Yigao and Lin Yun, who were also returning. They heard that you had gone alone to find the python demon and were worried about you, so they rushed over as well, and I followed them."

"When we got to that area, we heard a huge noise. We guessed it might be you, so we followed the sound. But the noise stopped halfway there. We searched for a long time before we found you next to a tree pit, along with your array plate and the Spirit Stone."

At this point, he quickly added:

"Your array plate and Spirit Stone are on the table outside."

Lin Xiao asked again:

"I was poisoned before, so why do I feel fine now, except for some pain and fatigue? Could it be that you saved me, senior?"

Liao Pantu looked disgusted and said:

"We also found the corpse of a python where we found you. I examined it, and it was a python demon that failed to transform into a dragon. I don't know if it was because its physical body was destroyed due to the failure of its tribulation, but it also possessed the body of a Spirit-Devouring Beast. Demons are indeed foolish. Possessing Spirit-Devouring Beast, isn't that restricting its racial talents?"

Feeling he had gone off-topic, Liao Pantu again:

"That python demon is a Silver Frost Python. Its venom is not very potent. Although I don't have any antidote pills on me, I saw that you have Mist Spring Grass in your spirit field, which is the main ingredient for refining this antidote pill. Moreover, the Pill Cauldron in the Alchemy Chamber is also of the highest grade. So, this old bone of mine had no choice but to reluctantly lend a hand and guide Sun Yigao to refine a batch of antidote pills for you."

"You're lucky. Sun Yigao has a high talent for alchemy. Although he's only at the Qi Refinement Seventh Layer, he produced a mid-grade pill in just two batches. You should know that if it were a low-grade antidote pill, it would only alleviate the poisoning, not completely cure it."

He would never tell Lin Xiao that the reason he didn't refine pills himself, but instead guided Sun Yigao to do so, was entirely because he had never successfully refined a single mid-grade pill!

Although he was already in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
