Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253: Long Time No See, Are You Doing Well?
"Pu..."
The Bone-Eroding Python opened its vast maw, spraying out a clump of thick, black venom.
Like arrows, the poison broke through the air and pursued Xia Chenyu, erupting with a "bang" three feet behind her.
Countless droplets of venom, like rain, wove together in midair into a gigantic web of poison that enveloped Xia Chenyu, leaving her with no chance to escape.
Xia Chenyu, detecting the strong stench of the toxin, realized she could run no further. She sighed internally, suddenly turned around, biting her jade-like teeth tightly, her phoenix eyes ablaze with firelight, holding both swords in her left hand, while her right palm, which had been secretly gathering Fire Primordial Qi, furiously struck out.
"Palm Burning Ten Thousand Immortals!"
With a fierce cry, a series of crimson palm silhouettes, formed from Fire Primordial Qi, shot out from Xia Chenyu’s right palm, carrying a rolling heatwave to block the venomous net woven from thousands of droplets of poison.
Palm Burning Ten Thousand Immortals, a martial art taught to Xia Chenyu by Fang Bai in her previous life, was of such a high level that it was beyond the imaginations of martial artists from the True Martial Realm. Although Xia Chenyu’s cultivation level was not high and the power she unleashed was but a mere fraction of the technique’s true might, it could still cause martial artists below the Universe Level to pale in fear.
The poison rain showering from the sky smacked into the fiery palms. As the fiery palms disappeared, the poison rain also turned into plumes of smoke, rising and dispersing in all directions, enveloping Xia Chenyu’s figure once again.
Although Palm Burning Ten Thousand Immortals was powerful enough to block the attack of the Bone-Eroding Python’s venom, it greatly drained Essence Energy. After one strike, Xia Chenyu’s True Yuan was depleted by thirty percent. Moreover, having to form a True Essence Barrier to protect herself meant that even the thought of executing another palm strike was daunting.
Xia Chenyu looked back and saw that Ye Qingxuan and the other disciples of Golden Crow Manor had only managed to escape a kilometer away. If she were to fall here, they would not escape the jaws of the Bone-Eroding Python.
"I’ve done all I can, yet it’s still no use!"
Xia Chenyu watched as the gigantic tail of the Bone-Eroding Python swept towards her again, expanding rapidly before her eyes. The robust and fierce Essence Energy uprooted grass and stones into the air, covering the sky and enveloping her in shadow, leaving her not with fear, but a profound sense of powerlessness and guilt, unable to save the lives of Ye Qingxuan and the other disciples from the Golden Crow Manor.
The sweeping force of the Bone-Eroding Python was over ten thousand pounds, something even Xia Chenyu at her peak couldn’t withstand. Now that her True Yuan was more than half depleted, how could she possibly contend against the python’s overwhelming sweeping force?
Xia Chenyu knew that she would end up like the stewards—the Bone-Eroding Python would send her flying with grievous injuries, robbing her of her fighting strength and making her the python’s meal.
As a martial artist, Xia Chenyu did not fear death, but the thought that after entering the True Martial Realm, she hadn’t seen Fang Bai nor heard any news of him, made her feel an intense regret. Dying like this, she feared she would not rest in peace.
With this thought, Xia Chenyu was overwhelmed with sorrow. The memories of her and Fang Bai filled her mind, and a string of tears involuntarily slid down her cheek, falling to the dust.
Just then, a white silhouette flashed across the sky like a shooting star, bringing with it the familiar aura that was deeply etched in Xia Chenyu’s heart.
That white shadow, quick as lightning, fleeting like a startled swan, was so fast that to Xia Chenyu it appeared and disappeared in a mere instant.
"Am I hallucinating? That figure... and that familiar aura, it really feels like Fang Bai! It seems he’s right before me!"
The moment she saw the familiar white silhouette and sensed the familiar presence, Xia Chenyu felt as if struck by lightning, almost blurting out his name. Then she laughed self-deprecatingly, thinking it was just a hallucination from her intense longing, as her tears flowed faster.
"Boom..."
The Bone-Eroding Python’s massive tail, dragging a tremendous roar and flinging dust and stones, was about to crash into Xia Chenyu in a rush.
Xia Chenyu abruptly closed her eyes, quietly waiting for death to arrive.
"Scram!"
"Boom..."
A thunderous shout, accompanied by a shaking of the earth and mountains, reached the ears of Xia Chenyu.
"It’s him! It’s Fang Bai!"
Xia Chenyu’s delicate body trembled violently, her eyes suddenly wide open. She saw a man in white with black hair flying and a tall figure standing proudly, his back to her, maintaining the posture of a punch. The overwhelming pressure emanating from him was even stronger than that of the Sect Master of a first-grade sect.
The Bone-Eroding Python, which had just been sweeping through the disciples of Golden Crow Manor with its unstoppable might, was sent tumbling dozens of yards away by the man in white’s punch. Its humongous body rolled along the ground, crushing countless rocks and broken wood, before coming to a stop after nearly thirty yards. Its body was still writhing and twitching, clearly in extreme pain.
Bloodstains marked the path where the Bone-Eroding Python had rolled, obviously, the punch from the man in white had inflicted serious injuries.
"Fang Bai..."
Xia Chenyu did not bother to pay any more attention to the Bone-Eroding Python. She gazed infatuatedly at the figure of the man in white standing in front of her with his back to her. She sobbed, one hand tightly covering her mouth, while the other trembled as she slowly reached out towards him, afraid to touch and fearful that this was merely an illusory dream that would shatter and vanish upon contact.
The man in white retracted his fist and suddenly turned around. Below his sword-like eyebrows that swept up into his hairline, a pair of bright and expressive eyes looked at Xia Chenyu, reflecting a smile tinged with the joy of reunion.
"Xia Chenyu... It’s been a long time, how have you been?"
Fang Bai’s lips curved into a warm smile as he opened his arms wide to embrace her.
"Fang Bai, it really is you! Sob..."
The familiar voice and smile instantly made Xia Chenyu crumble. She threw herself into Fang Bai’s embrace, her slender arms tightly wrapping around his body, crying out loud, with tears streaming down like rain.
Fang Bai gently patted Xia Chenyu’s back, and as her crying slowly subsided, he said with a smile, "Xia Chenyu, you’ve always been so strong! How come you, like Linglong and Ruhua, burst into tears the moment you see me? Ah no, you got your snot on my clothes..."
Hearing Fang Bai’s last words, Xia Chenyu hurriedly let go and stepped back, standing up straight, she wiped her nose. She noticed a small wet patch on Fang Bai’s chest where her tears had soaked through, but where was there any snot?
"Haha, just kidding..."
Fang Bai laughed out loud as he reached out to wipe away the tear streaks on Xia Chenyu’s face.
"You... you’re so mean..."
Xia Chenyu was teased into laughter by Fang Bai, and then she began to cry softly again, this time with tears of joy.
"I came from Tiansheng Continent to find you all. When I passed through the Forest of Myriad Medicines, I planned to kill some Spirit Beasts and collect some Spiritual Medicine to aid in my future cultivation. Little did I expect, I would encounter you."
Fang Bai held Xia Chenyu’s shoulders with both hands, looking at her eyes reddened from crying, he said sentimentally, "Fate is truly mysterious, as if it has guided me here to meet you... Now, meeting should be a happy occasion, you should be happy, don’t cry anymore..."
Just then, the wind howled, and poison filled the air. The Bone-Eroding Python, having recovered from Fang Bai’s punch that sent it flying a great distance, was overwhelmed by its animalistic nature and launched an attack on Fang Bai.
