Chapter 1250: Chapter 1250: Inescapable

The Bone-Eroding Python, tens of zhang long, was like a rapidly moving small mountain, rumbling as it rolled over the ground, as if the entire Earth itself was trembling.

Wherever it passed, the black poisonous fog mixed with plant debris and rocks, spread rapidly in all directions, covering the sky and blanketing the surroundings, an utterly terrifying sight.

Dozens of Golden Crow Manor disciples, who had just witnessed Yu Hu’s tragic demise, were already scared out of their wits, and now seeing the Bone-Eroding Python relentlessly pursuing them, they were even more panicked, fleeing along the path they came with all their might.

As for Xia Chenyu and Ye Qingxuan, who were left behind at the end of the group, apart from the two stewards, Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren, no one else cared about their life or death at this moment; everyone was only concerned with saving their own skin.

Seeing the Bone-Eroding Python moving as fast as lightning, drawing ever closer to Xia Chenyu and Ye Qingxuan, Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren, in utter desperation and with eyes nearly splitting in anger, exchanged a glance between them, their expressions filled with resolve.

"Phoosh!"

Two mouthfuls of vital blood were sprayed out by Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren, driven to the extreme to save Xia Chenyu, the Golden Crow Manor’s most promising junior disciple, even at the cost of unleashing their body’s potential to stop the Bone-Eroding Python.

After the vital blood was expelled, the auras of Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren exploded, their strength surged enormously, and their rushing figures suddenly accelerated, reaching within range to attack the Bone-Eroding Python in a flash.

"Kill!"

Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren’s eyes bulged with anger, and with a thunderous roar, they wielded their Spiritual Artifacts and launched an assault on the Bone-Eroding Python.

The weapons they used, a sword and a spear, were both high-quality Spiritual Artifacts, incomparably sharp and immensely powerful. With slashes and stabs, they aimed for the bulging flesh sac on top of the Bone-Eroding Python’s head.

Universe Level Experts can project True Yuan outside of their bodies, solidifying it for long-distance attacks.

The two mid-Universe Level Experts, Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren, triggered their body’s potential, their Essence Energy swirling around them like a tempest, their Spiritual Artifacts aglow, shining as brightly as rainbows.

As the two men unleashed their battle cries, their handheld sword and spear Spiritual Artifacts were swung forth, and the Essence Energy-concentrated blade and spear separated from the Artifacts, tearing through the air with a whistle as they sliced and stabbed at the Bone-Eroding Python.

Both were powerful mid-Universe Level Experts, with the support of their Spiritual Artifacts, and having invoked their potential, their combat power soared to rival those of High Rank Universe Level Experts. The sword and spear they struck with carried a formidable and fierce force, pulverizing all trees and shrubs in their path into dust.

The Bone-Eroding Python, with its lifespan of over three thousand years, having absorbed Heaven and Earth Origin Energy and ingested the essence of the sun and the moon, had developed high intelligence, matching that of human Martial Artists. Confronted with the combined attack from Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren, it rapidly reacted, tilting its head high just before the Essence Energy-formed blades were about to strike the flesh sac on its head.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The Essence Energy-formed blades from Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren struck the brilliantly colored scales beneath the Bone-Eroding Python’s head, emitting two crisp sounds almost simultaneously, shaking everyone to their core.

"This..."

Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren, seeing that their combined strike, after spitting sparks, only left deep marks on the Bone-Eroding Python without inflicting any actual injury, stood dumbfounded, their faces showing disbelief.

They knew the scales covering the Bone-Eroding Python were incredibly tough, but they had hoped that their collaborative, fully-powered attack, which channeled all their potential, would cause some damage and make it reconsider its attack, thus averting the danger facing Xia Chenyu.

What they absolutely did not expect was for this Bone-Eroding Python’s defensive capability to far exceed their imagination.

With such formidable defensive power, how could they continue to fight against the Bone-Eroding Python?

For a moment, Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren were overwhelmed with despondency, a feeling of despair enveloping their hearts.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

"Steward Sun, be careful!"

A resounding blast, accompanied by Li Jingren’s urgent cry, reached the somewhat distracted Sun Guangyi’s ears.

A strong sense of crisis suddenly snapped Sun Guangyi back to reality, only to feel a surging wave of air towering sky-high, as a mountain-sized massive shadow loomed over him, swiftly bearing down upon him.

That shadow was the Bone-Eroding Python’s sweeping gigantic tail.

The towering waves of air were the Essence Energy released by the Bone-Eroding Python.

While Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren’s strike did not injure the Bone-Eroding Python, it inflicted intense pain, which, in its fury, made the Bone-Eroding Python abandon its pursuit of Xia Chenyu, and instead, it turned to retaliate against both Sun Guangyi and Li Jingren.

And Sun Guangyi, being closer to the Bone-Eroding Python, became its primary target.

The Bone-Eroding Python, enraged, had an extremely terrifying attack power; its tail swept out, Essence Energy erupted like a storm, sweeping everything around, causing mountains to crumble, grass and trees to disintegrate, and striking fear into the hearts of onlookers.

Sun Guangyi, targeted by the Bone-Eroding Python’s breath, felt his scalp tingle and breathing constrained under the overwhelming pressure of the python’s aura, and even his retreat through the air slowed considerably.

"This time, I fear I won’t escape this disaster and will fall here!"

Sun Guangyi silently lamented in his heart, gritted his teeth, and instead of retreating, he lunged forward, clutching the knife-shaped Spiritual Artifact in his hands, and viciously slashed at the arriving colossal tail of the Bone-Eroding Python.

Sun Guangyi, prepared to die, only hoped that his attack could delay the Bone-Eroding Python for a little longer, to give more time for Li Jingren and the other Golden Crow Manor disciples to escape.

Some of the fleeing Golden Crow Manor disciples looked back and saw this scene, tears streaming down their faces.

"Boom..."

Before Sun Guangyi’s Spiritual Artifact could touch the Bone-Eroding Python, it was struck by its sweeping tail, his body tumbling through the air like a fallen leaf, thrown dozens of feet away, and he hit the ground, losing consciousness.

Li Jingren and Sun Guangyi, fellow disciples for decades with a deep relationship, seeing Sun Guangyi lying unconscious with weak breath, uncertain how long his spark of life might last, felt a mixture of urgency and hatred in their hearts.

"Evil beast, die!"

Seizing the fleeting opportunity as the Bone-Eroding Python’s tail had not been retracted yet, Li Jingren, with his long spear quick as lightning, once again stabbed at the protruding flesh bump on the python’s head.

The Bone-Eroding Python was too slow to defend and dodge; the edge of the flesh bump’s weaker spot was pierced by the spear tip, immediately causing blood to gush out.

The Bone-Eroding Python, having one of its most vital parts attacked, experienced excruciating pain; its body twitched, and it became even more irrationally enraged, turning its head and unleashing a stream of black venom toward Li Jingren.

This venom, the essence of the Bone-Eroding Python, was even more toxic than the poison mist it had emitted earlier. Just a whiff of the scent it exuded made Li Jingren’s head spin and felt as if it would split with pain.

Li Jingren gritted his teeth and did not collapse; he retreated swiftly, putting a safe distance between himself and the Bone-Eroding Python.

"Hiss, hiss..."

The black venom sprayed by the Bone-Eroding Python hit the surrounding branches, leaves, and ground; the trees, weeds, and even the Wanshi rocks emitted smoke, quickly dissolving, eventually turning into puddles of liquid.
