Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Divine Artifact - Mystical Sky Battle Sword - Muscle Strengthening Scripture

One man, one snake, stood off against each other in this massive cave space, both emanating a terrifying aura.

In the void, the wind howled furiously, and an incredibly oppressive atmosphere pervaded the entire space, enough to suffocate anyone.

The python’s cold, double pupils stared at Xiao Zheng, emitting a dangerous breath, and then its body surprisingly began to emit a layer of shining light.

"Gang Qi?"

Xiao Zheng was startled.

A snake that could actually cultivate Gang Qi was indeed shocking and hard to believe.

At that moment, the massive python suddenly struck, its huge body turning into a blur as it whooshed towards Xiao Zheng.

The colossal strength tore the air apart. The python’s already immense power, now enhanced by Gang Qi, became even more terrifying.

Sensing that formidable power, Xiao Zheng didn’t plan to withstand it head-on. With a low shout, he tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and immediately retreated explosively.

Boom!

The python’s huge body smashed into the ground, creating a loud noise as a large pit appeared in the rocky floor, and debris flew everywhere.

"What astounding strength!"

Xiao Zheng was even more astonished, realizing that this python was no ordinary creature. It was far stronger than the average wild beast, commanding wariness.

Whoosh.

The gale was relentless. After missing its initial attack, the python reared up like a flash of lightning, striking out at Xiao Zheng.

"The way this python utilizes strength is, to some extent, almost like Martial Arts," Xiao Zheng remarked appreciatively, watching the python’s movements.

Seeing the python attack again, Xiao Zheng smiled, his footsteps halting as he soared skyward, coming to hover over the python’s head.

Thump!

He stomped down fiercely, and the python’s head, struck by immense force, suddenly sunk and crashed into the ground.

"Roar..."

Like a wild beast, the python let out a low growl, indicating it felt extreme pain, infused with anger.

Boom!

Instantly, the python’s tail acted as a whip, breaking through the air and striking out toward Xiao Zheng with boundless power.

"Hehe, well played."

Xiao Zheng laughed heartily.

Such a move, unimaginable for a human, the head was already subdued, yet it could still attack the enemy with its tail.

One careless move could even lead to a disadvantage!

Xiao Zheng stomped heavily atop the python’s head once more, then rose into the air and kicked out. Gang Qi dazzled as he hit the massive snake’s tail.

"I won’t play with you this time!"

A cold light flickered in Xiao Zheng’s eyes.

The reason he had retreated repeatedly before was to study the python’s mode of attack. After the several exchanges just now, he had almost fully grasped it.

It was the combination of monstrous strength and superhuman flexibility. If he could leverage this experience, he might be able to develop several new techniques.

Boom!

Gang Qi, dense and intense, swirled around Xiao Zheng’s leg as he forcefully struck the python’s tail, blood splattering everywhere!

With a low roar from the python, its tail was sent flying off, severed by Xiao Zheng’s kick.

Due to the intense pain, the python went berserk, struggling fiercely. Strong Gang Qi surged out from its body once more.

In an instant, the python unleashed massive strength. Even with its tail severed, it reared up once again, lunging to bite Xiao Zheng.

The madness was evident in its snake eyes, clearly indicating its rage.

Xiao Zheng snorted coldly.

Confronted with the python’s attack, this time, he didn’t evade but stood in place, surrounded by Gang Qi that shone brilliantly.

Boom!

The python struck, its huge head slamming into Xiao Zheng’s body, emitting a thunderous sound that echoed in all directions.

And then.

A shocking scene unfolded!

When the python struck Xiao Zheng’s body, it was as if it had hit an impenetrable wall. Its head violently trembled and then exploded.

Boom!

Blood burst forth.

The headless snake body wobbled in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

As for Xiao Zheng, not a speck of blood had stained his body; he shone resplendently like a divine being.

Hum...

Gang Qi emanated from Xiao Zheng, rippling like water, slowly retracting back into his body.

He then turned his gaze to the corpse that emitted a faint golden glow.

"Who was this expert?" Xiao Zheng wondered with curiosity.

He walked over to the skeleton and looked closely.

On the purple longsword beside the remains, four characters were inscribed in ancient seal script: Mystical Sky Battle Sword. Even from a great distance before, he could feel the intense sharpness of the Mystical Sky Battle Sword. Now, from closer up, that aura seemed almost able to slice open one’s skin!

"What a sword!"

Xiao Zheng picked up the Mystical Sky Battle Sword and gently swung it around, producing a piercing whistling sound, as continuous as the dragon’s chant, and he instantly became attached to it.

He then turned his attention to the book.

Three characters were written on the pages.

Muscle Strengthening Scripture!

"What?"

Xiao Zheng was taken aback. He had heard of the Muscle Strengthening Scripture, a renowned cultivation text from ancient times, known for its miraculous effects!

It was said that by cultivating this technique, one’s Gang Qi could flow endlessly, and the meridians could be greatly strengthened!

Basically, after cultivating the Muscle Strengthening Scripture, it was like having a foundation ten times, a hundred times more vigorous than others’!

Xiao Zheng hurriedly picked up the Muscle Strengthening Scripture to read, and with his exceptional eyesight, he immediately saw that the Muscle Strengthening Scripture was genuine, without any falsehood!

Xiao Zheng was overjoyed.

With this technique, after cultivation, his strength could be further enhanced!

"Moreover..."

Xiao Zheng, looking at the text of the Muscle Strengthening Scripture, felt even more joy on his face.

"The most important function of this Muscle Strengthening Scripture is to solidify the foundation, consolidate the root and cultivate the source. Due to the mysterious heritage I’ve received, my body has been damaged, and my life is not long. After cultivating this scripture, my lifespan should be extended, allowing me more time to search for the Golden Bone."

Being able to extend his life temporarily was like timely help in the snow for Xiao Zheng!

How could he not be ecstatic?

"Who exactly was this person, to possess such a sharp Mystical Sky Battle Sword, and the Martial Arts scripture like the Muscle Strengthening Scripture?" Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but look towards the skeleton.

Rumble rumble.

Suddenly, just at that moment, the stone platform beneath the skeleton began to tremble, and stone dust started falling.

Xiao Zheng’s face showed a look of surprise as he took a step back.

Then the stone platform, as the dust fell, revealed a line of characters.

The final resting place of the Dugu Evil Sword!

"The Dugu Evil Sword?"

Seeing those four characters, Xiao Zheng’s heart shook, and his eyes revealed a horrified expression.

Those four characters shone as brightly as the sun in the Martial Arts world, known to all, recorded in history books as a formidable figure!

This person was a Sword Dao genius, born a hundred years ago, invincible with no defeats, ascending to the pinnacle in just a short span of time!

After that, he dominated the world with no equal, becoming a legendary figure.

In his era, no one could challenge his status.

Xiao Zheng often lamented that not being able to exist in the same era as Dugu Evil Sword was a great regret.
