Chapter 47: Sword Slashes the Giant Python
“Tribe Leader!”
“Tribe Leader!”
Yi Chen left the valley at a swift pace.
Along the way, the tribe members respectfully greeted him.
Once out of the valley, he moved at full speed, maximizing the Cloud Treading Technique as he sped southwest.
He transformed into a fleeting shadow, quickly darting through the forest.
Despite the rugged mountain paths and numerous obstacles,
within just six or seven minutes, he reached the entrance of a large canyon over forty kilometers away.
This area belonged to the former tribe leader, Tai Shi, who is currently one of the four main leaders of the Flame Mountain Tribe.
As the four armies expanded their influence, they encountered increasingly powerful fierce beasts.
Among them, there were even creatures that Yi Chen could not defeat.
So far, there had been three such beasts.
The giant python that dominated this canyon was one of them.
Half a month ago, Yi Chen had paid a visit here.
It ended in failure.
The giant python was covered in thick, hard scales.
Attacking its weakest spots, the eyes and the seven-inch mark, with thorny fruit proved useless.
Even the little gold ball, which had reached the level of a seventh-level fierce beast, exploded several times at its eyes without success.
Yi Chen had no choice but to give up on killing this giant python and instructed Tai Shi’s western army to bypass the area, planning to return when his strength was sufficient to handle the giant python.
Now, having successfully created a more powerful swordsmanship,
he thought first of the terrifyingly defensive giant python among the three temporarily abandoned powerful fierce beasts.
Upon entering the canyon, he gripped his iron sword and moved deeper inside.
Along the way, he occasionally encountered attacks from smaller pythons.
He easily shot them down using thorny fruit.
Though Yi Chen’s Flying Blade Technique couldn’t harm the giant python,
the pythons he encountered along the way were small, about the size of a bowl, and under five meters long.
The larger ones were only as thick as a water barrel and about ten meters long.
These pythons, despite having scales for protection, could not withstand the penetrating power of the Flying Blade Technique.
…
“Is Yi Chen planning to test his new skill on the golden giant python?”
"It seems that this new skill is indeed much more powerful than the Flying Blade Technique. Otherwise, he wouldn’t choose the golden giant python as his test subject."
“It seems likely that he will return empty-handed; the power of the new skill is definitely stronger than the Flying Blade Technique.”
“After all, the Flying Blade Technique was created by Yi Chen during the Qi Condensation Stage. This new skill, on the other hand, was developed during the Spirit Release.”
“In terms of ranking, it is a whole level higher. Since it is also a melee skill, it’s not surprising that its power surpasses the Flying Blade Technique by two or even three times.”
“The problem is, this golden giant python is a level 20 fierce beast. Even within the entire galaxy, it stands out for its exceptional defense among level 20 fierce beasts.”
“It may not be the strongest fierce beast in Flame Mountain, but it is definitely the one with the strongest defense.”
“Even if Yi Chen’s new skill is two or three times stronger, or even four or five times, it cannot break through its defense.”
The viewers in the live room shook their heads, convinced that Yi Chen would surely return without success this time.
Some of the more timid ones even began to worry about Yi Chen’s safety.
“With the golden giant python reaching level 20, according to the Military’s ranking, it is already at the limit that can be defeated by human strength. Even an elite genetic warrior cannot defeat it without deploying mechs.”
“Yi Chen charging in alone might be dangerous if he cannot break through its defense. After all, the golden giant python has great speed and reaction as well.”
“That shouldn’t be the case; Yi Chen’s reaction is much quicker than that of the golden giant python. His speed, enhanced by the Cloud Treading Technique, far exceeds that of the golden giant python.”
“Even if this time it’s close combat, it’s likely to end in failure just like last time. Yi Chen can’t handle the golden giant python’s defense, and in turn, the golden giant python can’t match Yi Chen’s speed.”
“Well, as long as he’s safe, that’s what matters!”
…
In the canyon, after half a month, Yi Chen saw the golden giant python for the second time.
It stretched twenty-five meters long, with a waist circumference of two meters, entirely covered in golden scales.
Reclining against the canyon’s rock wall, it resembled a golden dragon, emanating a strong aura.
Squeak…
Enemies face each other, and tensions rise.
Yi Chen remained calm, while the Little Gold Ball on his shoulder grew increasingly agitated.
It leaped down and unleashed its brazen attack without hesitation.
The golden fur on its front half instantly transformed into thousands of golden needles, shooting towards the golden giant python.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
There was no doubt.
Although the Little Gold Ball had increased by one level since last time, its needle attack still failed to harm the golden giant python in the slightest.
Clang! Clang! Clang…
The Little Gold Ball turned around, presenting its rear to the golden giant python.
The golden fur on its back unleashed everything, yet it proved equally ineffective.
Squeak!
Frustrated by the lack of success from its shameless attacks, the Little Gold Ball charged toward the golden giant python, completely unashamed.
It clearly intended to use its ultimate move—self-detonation.
“Come back!”
Yi Chen shouted from behind.
He was certain that no matter how powerful the upgraded Little Gold Ball had become, even self-detonation could not harm the golden giant python.
Sending it to attack would only waste time.
Although the Little Gold Ball was filled with anger, it reluctantly stopped.
Hiss…
In the distance, the golden giant python sensed the presence of Yi Chen and the Little Gold Ball.
Its eyes flashed with rage.
Half a month ago, it had spent over twenty minutes trying to eat Yi Chen, which had frustrated it greatly.
As the ruler of the canyon, it had never encountered a situation where its prey escaped.
Crack…
It twisted its body and raced toward Yi Chen at high speed.
Everything in its path turned to dust, blown away by the wind.
Yi Chen gripped his iron sword, advancing rather than retreating, charging toward the golden giant python.
The distance between them continued to close.
Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters…
The golden giant python leaped into the air.
Its massive mouth opened wide, and its fiery red tongue flicked out.
It resembled a red abyss filled with a foul stench, lunging toward Yi Chen.
In the live room, all the timid viewers covered their eyes.
However, Yi Chen remained unfazed.
Just as the leaping golden giant python came within twenty meters, he unleashed the Cloud Treading Technique at full speed.
He instantly transformed into a shadow faster than the golden giant python, darting to its side.
As the golden giant python landed, Yi Chen swung his sword at it.
Whoosh!
A blade of energy, accompanied by a whooshing sound, traveled more than three meters and struck the golden giant python.
Its golden scales tore apart like paper under the force of the sword energy.
The unmatched sharpness penetrated deep, creating a wound over a meter long and half a meter deep on the golden giant python.
The flesh rippled.
Bright red blood burst forth like a fountain from the wound.
The golden giant python, in unbearable pain, roared loudly.
Its massive body thrashed about wildly.
Sand flew, and rocks rolled; the entire canyon seemed to be facing the end of the world.
In the live room, all the viewers jumped to their feet.
They were wide-eyed in shock.
At that moment, billions of people across the galaxy watched in disbelief, mouths agape, staring at the screen.
