Chapter Eleven: The Masked Woman in Crisis

  "I must get this Red Sun Fruit!"

  Looking up at the cliff, not very high from the ground, a crimson fruit about the size of a fist was emitting a scorching aura. In Ye Lin's eyes, a brilliant light burst forth as he could be extremely certain that this unassuming fruit with a deep red color similar to the Zhu Fruit was indeed the Chi Yang Fruit mentioned by his senior. This was because in Ye Lin's eyes, there was an orange-colored spiritual energy rarely seen in ordinary times bursting out from this fruit and shooting straight up into the heavens, a unique spiritual energy only possessed by heavenly treasures, which even the thousand-year-old Hei Dou Wu couldn't compare to.

  "Shangguan Wanyou, I never thought you'd be this kind of person. You just wait for me, once I get the Chi Yang fruit and take the Wanling Dan, I'll definitely make you eat your words."

  Looking at the bright red fruit in front of him, Ye Lin's heart was filled with excitement and surprise. Even in his heart, he couldn't help but deepen his resentment towards Shangguan Wan'er once again.

  It's worth noting that the Ye and Shangguan families have always had a close relationship, occasionally intermarrying. In fact, Ye Lin's grandmother was still a daughter of the Shangguan family. As it turns out, Ye Lin and Shangguan Wanyi even have some blood relation.

  But unexpectedly, it was such a person who actually ran to his own home and forced himself to cancel the engagement, completely disregarding his own feelings, trampling his own dignity underfoot. In Ye Lin's heart, he really wanted to drink Xiang Wan'er's blood and eat her flesh, and even wanted to reduce Xiang Wan'er to ashes.

  But occasionally, when he calmed down, in Yelins heart, there would still be a flash of a beautiful shadow from time to time. It was the joyful crystal left by him and Shangguan Waner since childhood, countless times together.

  "Brother Lin, come quickly, I still don't understand this part, you must teach me." Shangguan Wanyi pointed to the fist manual in her hand and coquettishly said to Ye Lin.

  "Lin Ge, please teach me. When I practice here, I still can't feel even the slightest change." Shangguan Wan'er pointed to her own fist posture, coquettishly asking Ye Lin for guidance, hoping that he would point out the mistakes in her fist technique and give her directions.

  "Lin Gege, how should I use this move?" Shangguan Wanyu pointed to the fist method she didn't understand, pouting and asking Ye Lin at the same time.

  "Lin Gege..."

  ……

  Everyone in Yunshui City only knew that Shangguan Wan'er was a cultivation genius, but at a young age, she had already reached the fifth heaven of body refinement, changing blood and achieving great success. It seemed like she was about to enter the sixth heaven of body refinement, washing her marrow, but how many people knew that the current heavenly favorite, Shangguan Wan'er, had asked Ye Lin, who was considered trash, for guidance on various martial arts cultivation problems countless times? How many times had she sent her own tender kisses to get guidance from this piece of trash, Ye Lin?

  Yelin's wit is like a cloud in the Water City, who dares say they are number one?

  But, it was such a naive girl who had relied on herself countless times and pouted in front of herself, yet today she ran to her own doorstep, forcing herself to break off the engagement. How many vows were made under the mountains and seas, how many promises were made that would last till the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled, but today they were exchanged for such an unfeeling attitude.

  Thinking of it, Ye Lin's heart was filled with wave after wave of pain.

  In his past life, Ye Lin was a Taiji master of high status, but he was infatuated with martial arts and had never liked any girl. However, in this life, fate played tricks on him, and as soon as he was born, his father arranged an engagement for him. He wanted to protect her with all his might, but reality was cruel, and instead of love, he received heartless pressure. The reason was that his own talent was too mediocre, not worthy of the heavenly daughter.

  "Hmph, I'll get it, I'll let you see, whether Ye Lin is a waste or not, whether he's as useless as you said."

  As if he had made up his mind about something earth-shattering, Ye Lin strode forward with a nonchalant air, taking big strides.

  "I want to prove myself, I, Ye Lin, will absolutely not be a waste."

  Even in the past, Ye Lin relied on his own Taiji Dao and never thought of himself as a waste. Now that he has obtained the magical Magic Eye, Ye Lin believes even more that he will absolutely not be a waste.

  The red sun was right in front of his eyes, and even with the calmness of a Leaf Forest Pre-Heavenly Master, he couldn't help but feel excited at this moment.

  "Mine!"

  Ye Lin's body shot up in a straight line, rushing towards the Red Sun Fruit. Even though he still had the Heaven-Slaying Blade on his back, and was bearing the weight of its incredibly powerful gravitational field, Ye Lin's speed was still so fast that it even surpassed the legendary Dragon Horse's speed.

  In legend, the ultimate horse, the Akhal-Teke, can run a thousand miles in daylight and eight hundred at night. It is called the Dragon Horse by people, but what they don't know is that the real Dragon Horse has reached an extremely high level where it can run ten thousand miles in daylight and eight thousand at night, which is far beyond the Akhal-Teke's level.

  Ye Lin, even with the weight of the Heaven-Slaying Sword and the pressure of the Gravity Domain, his speed had already reached such a level.

  Whoosh, and it wasn't a very high cliff, Yelin jumped over in one bound.

  "Mine."

  Ye Lin's eyes radiated a terrifying light, his right hand reaching out towards the Red Sun Fruit.

  Roar!!

  A still somewhat childish angry roar came from behind, followed by a series of whistling wind sounds on his back. Even without looking with his eyes, Ye Lin now knew that something whip-like was sneakily attacking him from behind.

  "Damn it."

  Ye Lin was furious in his heart, even with his master-level temperament, he was completely enraged at this moment.

  Who would have thought that when they finally had their most beloved thing within reach, such a situation would arise? Their heart wouldn't be at peace, and this Red Sun Fruit was too important to Ye Lin. It was so crucial that it could even change his fate, but now, someone was sneak attacking from behind. Ye Lin vowed in his heart that no matter who it was, he would kill him, he must kill him.

  However, whether or not he wanted to kill the bastard, Ye Lin had no choice but to give up and dodge to the side. Otherwise, judging from the force of the wind behind him, he was afraid that if he took this hit, even if he didn't die, he would still break a few bones.

  Huh?

  Turning around, Ye Lin was suddenly shocked out of a cold sweat. What kind of whip was this? It was clearly the tail of a giant python over 30 meters long.

  Only this giant python was over 30 meters long, its whole body was wrapped in a bright package, and most importantly, a pair of fierce eyes, with rays of light shooting out from the pupils, even if it was a three-meter-diameter boulder, being shot by the python's eyes would instantly pierce through the entire boulder, and then the boulder would turn to powder from the inside.

  The brilliant light emitted by the giant python actually has such a strong penetrating power, it's truly unbelievable.

  Still, most importantly, as soon as the bloody basin was opened, a pungent smell assailed the nostrils, fierce winds howled, and another mouthful came rushing towards Ye Lin.

  "Swallowing Heaven Python!!"

  Before he set out, the one-armed old man had given Ye Lin a scroll to be careful. The scroll told about many spiritual objects, including spiritual medicine and various ferocious beasts, among which was the Heaven Swallowing Python. At birth, it already possessed the strength of fivefold heaven refinement. In its youth, its power far surpassed that of warriors in the Refining Body stage. Its growth period was even more terrifying; even if a warrior in the Refining Qi stage encountered it, they would only have a chance to escape with their life. The most frightening and abnormal thing was when it reached maturity: flying through the sky and traversing the earth, its divine powers were vast and wide, so that even warriors in the Refining Qi stage who encountered it could only flee for their lives.

  Ye Lin never thought that this time he came out, he would actually encounter such a perverted existence?

  Whoosh!!

  Without saying a word to Ye Lin, the giant python suddenly lost control and shot towards him at an extremely fast speed. Before it even reached halfway, it opened its massive mouth wide open and swallowed Ye Lin in one swift motion.

  The legendary Swallowing Heaven Python has the ancient divine dragon bloodline, its power far exceeds that of ordinary monsters. Although it's just a juvenile, its strength is at least at the level of 4th or 5th heaven of Body Refining, and it's not something that someone like Ye Lin can handle.

  Crisis, fatal crisis.

  Ye Lin's strength was indeed too weak, facing such a monster, he didn't even have half a chance to resist. Although relying on his speed, he avoided being swallowed, but the snake-like tail, like an iron whip, fiercely lashed at Ye Lin's chest, with a loud "bang" sound, Ye Lin was sent flying into the air.

  What's most terrifying is that the Swallowing Heaven Python's speed was too fast, with just a flick of its tail, it arrived at Ye Lin's side once again. It opened its enormous mouth, emitting a bloody aura that filled the air as it swallowed towards Ye Lin.

  "I'd rather die than surrender!"

  At this time, Ye Lin felt the powerful swallowing force transmitted from Tianyuan's giant python-like mouth, and Ye Lin was already somewhat desperate.

  "Looking for death!!"

  A loud shout, a sword flew from the horizon and stabbed directly at the giant python's head. If the python didn't change its move, despite its great strength, one of its eyes would be pierced by this sword.

  Roar!!

  Just as the thief was about to be swallowed by himself, another person suddenly appeared. The giant python was furious and dodged its head, then attacked the sword-wielding female knight. As for Ye Lin, in the not-so-intelligent mind of the giant python, he had already become just a meal on his plate, not even worth noticing.

  Thus, Ye Lin was lucky enough to escape with his life.

  "Uh, who is this female knight?"

  It's said that heroes rescue beauties and the beauty rewards them with their body, but Ye Lin never thought he'd be rescued by a beauty this time. And now, he doesn't know how to thank her!

  At a glance, the warrior fighting against the giant python was a woman in white, with a white veil covering her face. Although it wasn't very clear, Ye Lin could still make out that this woman was quite young.
