Chapter 1254: Chapter 1254: The Mad Blade Slaughters the Venomous Python

"Be careful!"

Xia Chenyu’s gaze passed over Fang Bai’s shoulder and saw the Bone-Eroding Python pouncing with its mouth wide open. She couldn’t help but cry out in alarm, warning Fang Bai.

Fang Bai snorted coldly, suddenly turning around. A flash of light emanated from the Space Ring on his left finger, and amidst the dark radiance, the bloodthirsty Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, reeking of a bloody aura, was already hovering in front of him in the air.

When Fang Bai first obtained the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, even with his tens of thousands of years’ worth of experience from his previous life, he could not determine its rank. From this, he concluded that it was a supreme Divine Artifact, its power merely sealed due to some unknown reason. Once fully awakened, its might would surely be capable of slashing through mountains, splitting seas, opening the heavens and cleaving the earth, surpassing all the Immortal Artifacts he had used in his past life.

In Fang Bai’s eyes, the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade was like a mighty warrior in a slumbering state, and the blood of other warriors was the elixir to awaken it.

Ever since Fang Bai acquired the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, he had slain numerous powerful opponents. The blade, having drunk the blood of many warriors, was gradually revealing its power, becoming stronger with each display.

The Blood-Drinking Mad Blade had been silent within Fang Bai’s Spatial Ring since the last battle with Madam Linghu. When it was summoned again this time, Fang Bai discovered that its rank had significantly improved. The blade emitted an even more intense evil Qi, engulfing its surroundings with an overwhelming pressure.

The evil Qi of the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade could affect the will of Martial Artists, causing them to fantasize about being trapped in a Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, besieged by formidable enemies. It could have a profound impact on the psyche of the Martial Artists. Those with a weak will might collapse on the spot, providing an opportunity for a deadly strike from their opponent.

Although the Bone-Eroding Python was a Spirit Beast, it was equally affected by the evil Qi of the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade. The body that had been pouncing fiercely suddenly froze, and its gloomy green eyes revealed a sense of fear.

"A mere bug dares to be arrogant! Die!"

Fang Bai extended his right arm, his palm tightly gripping the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade. Amidst his roaring shout, he instantly unleashed three consecutive slashes.

The three slashes were almost delivered at the same time. The Essence Energy separated from the blade and formed three giant Essence Energy sabers, each a zhang tall, slashing violently towards the Bone-Eroding Python.

The Bone-Eroding Python felt a strong sense of danger and attempted to dodge and escape, but it was already too late.

"Bloodthirst!"

"Soul Severing!"

"Silence Annihilation!"

As Fang Bai executed the three styles of his fierce blade strikes, the Essence Energy sabers shone with dazzling brilliance. The ground where they passed was sliced open, leaving behind a long and deep mark, with nothing able to withstand their sharpness.

The three Essence Energy sabers were only a few feet apart, nearly overlapping, their combined attack power even stronger.

"Clang!"

The first strike, Bloodthirst, landed on the giant triangular head of the Bone-Eroding Python, sparking a shower of sparks. Although it did not inflict damage on the Bone-Eroding Python, the pain was unbearable, causing its head to tremble uncontrollably, dizzying the beast and sapping its strength to resist in a blink.

"Hiss!"

The second strike, Soul Severing, followed closely, also landing on the python’s head, at the exact same spot as the first. It was incredibly precise. The head, reputed to be the most sturdy part of the Bone-Eroding Python, finally burst open with a spray of blood, leaving behind a three-foot long, deep gash. A mist of blood sprayed into the air, with the scent of blood rapidly spreading through the forest with the wind.

"Pfft!"

The third strike, Silence Annihilation, still landed on the same mark left by the previous two slashes. The incomparably sharp Essence Energy saber edge penetrated straight through the Bone-Eroding Python’s head, slicing the massive, iron-hard head neatly in two.

The three styles of the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade grew progressively more powerful with each one; the first two strikes severely wounded the Bone-Eroding Python, and the third was the deadly blow that directly snatched away the life of the Bone-Eroding Python.

As Fang Bai watched with an indifferent and disdainful gaze, the body of the Bone-Eroding Python began to thrash wildly, convulsing violently. The grass and large rocks in a thousand-meter radius were leveled to the ground, and the immense commotion startled numerous Spirit Beasts within the Forest of Myriad Medicines.

While the Forest of Myriad Medicines is home to numerous Spirit Beasts, some of the more powerful ones have their own territories and do not encroach upon each other.

During the fierce battle between the Bone-Eroding Python and the disciples of Golden Crow Manor, other Spirit Beasts stayed within their territories, not intending to compete with the Bone-Eroding Python for the human Martial Artists.

However, after the Bone-Eroding Python was severely injured by Fang Bai, several nearby Spirit Beasts of similar strength and exceptionally keen sense of smell detected the scent of blood from the Bone-Eroding Python. Realizing that the Bone-Eroding Python had suffered great losses, they found it an opportune moment to take advantage. Thus, they began to stir restlessly and started converging towards the territory of the Bone-Eroding Python.

Among those Spirit Beasts, some coveted the Thousand-Year Fusion Essence Grass guarded by the Bone-Eroding Python, while others desired to devour its flesh and blood to strengthen themselves.

These Spirit Beasts approached from all directions. One of them blocked the path right in front of Ye Qingxuan and over a dozen disciples of Golden Crow Manor who were desperately trying to escape.

The commotion caused by the Bone-Eroding Python’s death throes resonated for several miles, also alarming Ye Qingxuan and the others.

It was merely because of Fang Bai’s timely intervention that stopped the Bone-Eroding Python, allowing Ye Qingxuan and the other disciples from Golden Crow Manor to successfully flee to a place several miles away. Hearing the thunderous noise, they thought that the Bone-Eroding Python was breaking through the forest to chase after them, which sent them into greater panic, making them flee even faster.

"Wait a minute..."

A Direct Disciple from Golden Crow Manor who was leading the way suddenly halted, sensing the dangerous aura ahead.

This Direct Disciple was named Huang Yuanhu, the nephew of the current Manor Master Huang Canghai of Golden Crow Manor, with a Cultivation Level at Cosmic perfection.

Having stayed behind to delay the Bone-Eroding Python, the highest-ranking and strongest Huang Yuanhu naturally became the backbone for the other disciples. Leading everyone in their escape, he intended to bring news of the event back to Golden Crow Manor once out of the Forest of Myriad Medicines.

"What’s the matter, Senior Brother Huang?"

A disciple asked loudly, puzzled as to why Huang Yuanhu had suddenly stopped.

"Something seems off... Have you all sensed the presence of a Spirit Beast?"

Huang Yuanhu gazed into the thick forest ahead, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.

"No, not at all!"

"Senior Brother Huang, are you experiencing an illusion?"

"The Bone-Eroding Python is so powerful, how could Spirit Beasts even come close to its territory?"

"The two Stewards and Junior Sister Xia have bought us some time, we should continue our escape!"

"Yes, yes! Let’s hurry back to the manor and report this incident, to see what the senior management decides..."

...

The dozen or so disciples from Golden Crow Manor behind Huang Yuanhu were much weaker and did not sense the presence of any Spirit Beasts. They were dismissive of Huang Yuanhu’s words and urged him to continue on.

For them, escaping the Forest of Myriad Medicines was of utmost importance at that moment. Otherwise, the time bought by the two Stewards and Xia Chenyu would be wasted in vain.

There were also a few disciples who had great confidence in Huang Yuanhu’s strength. Hearing his words, they instantly became extremely tense and vigilant.

"Awooo..."

With a deafening roar of a Spirit Beast, a creature about two meters tall and more than a zhang long burst out from the dense forest ahead. Its body was grey, and its eyes, a frightening greenish glare, were locked onto Huang Yuanhu and the others. Drool dripped from the corners of its mouth as it clearly viewed them as a delicious feast.
