Chapter Ten: Frontal Ambush

  A third-level top-tier evil python, equivalent to a strong demon beast at the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm, which may also condense into a demon core, and once the time is ripe, it can grow into a fourth-level violent demon python.

  The python's scales all over its body presented a faint iron-blue color, with a fine luster, as if it were impenetrable to swords and guns. Its triangular eyes seemed to have a hint of cunning wisdom as it watched Fang Yan dodge the previous fierce attack. The giant python opened its mouth again, and a stream of air actually circulated in its mouth.

  "Pffft!"

  A stream of air condensed into a poisonous gas bomb the size of a human head, shot towards Fang Yan like an arrow off the string, extremely fast, shaking the surroundings with a buzzing sound.

  The demon beast, due to its massive body, practices by swallowing the essence of the sun and moon. Some demon beasts are extremely powerful, sweeping away same-level demon beasts and human cultivators, and are a revival of inherited memories from ancient times, understanding some innate divine abilities, and are a synonym for strength.

  Legend has it that in the distant past of ancient times, the entire continent was overrun with demons and monsters, and humans were slaves to these numerous demons. These demons had boundless magical powers, each capable of moving mountains and filling seas, and possessing the power to change the course of the stars. The various cultivation methods, martial arts, and techniques of humanity all originated from these demons.

  Later on, among the human race, countless saints and great powers rose up, breaking the balance, gradually driving out, suppressing these powerful demons, becoming the current peaceful situation.

  However, in some forbidden lands and dangerous places, the blood of many wild beasts still retains ancient memories. Once their blood is awakened, they understand various cultivation methods, mobilize the innate divine abilities inherited from ancient times, and comprehend magical attacks.

  And the giant python in front of him was also a demon beast that had awakened a thread of ancient memory, which would release poisonous gas to harm people. Once it was hit and fell to the ground, it would turn into a ball of thick blood in no time.

  "Beast!"

  Faced with the bombing of poison gas bombs, Fang Yan let out a loud roar, his five fingers grasped and launched a collapse mountain fist, a terrifying aura burst out, blasting the poison gas bomb into powder.

  The python's attack was dissolved, and Fang Yan fled forward like a nimble leopard.

  Fang Yan's goal was to divert the evil snake's attention, rather than kill it, and it wasn't worth tangling with it in this desperate situation.

  Fang Yan's escape instantly fueled the ferocity of the evil python, which let out a loud roar and charged straight at Fang Yan, pursuing him through the forest.

  "There's something." Wang Yong was searching for the murderer in front of him when a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the forest ahead.

  "What a thick and heavy demonic aura, this is at least a third-level peak demon beast. Everyone quickly prepare for battle, even from far away, we can feel such a strong demonic aura, this demon beast must be able to condense a demon core within its body." Gao Quan was shocked upon hearing this, and then his face was replaced with joy.

  Yao Dan, that's a valuable treasure worth a city, besides being able to sell for a high price, it can also be refined into a medicinal pill to assist in breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation.

  "Huh, there's someone up ahead." Bai Yunfei flew through the forest, and it was inevitable that he would run into the other person. He was immediately discovered by Wang Yan.

  "It's Fang Yan, how is this possible? Isn't he dead? How can he be here?" Wang Yan was shocked to see the figure that suddenly jumped out.

  "Ah, snake, what a huge python."

  Wang Yan's sudden scream immediately distracted Gao Jie, Wang Yong and others. They all thought that Wang Yan was frightened by the huge python, and one by one, they focused their attention on the poisonous snake. Fang Yan's presence was ignored by them.

  The venomous python was chasing Fang Yan, but suddenly so many masters appeared in its field of vision. It immediately stopped chasing Fang Yan and stood up with its massive body as thick as a water bucket. Then, a poisonous gas bomb shot towards the most threatening Gao Jie.

  "You're courting death!" Gao Jie jumped up and dodged the venomous snake's poisonous gas, roaring in anger.

  "Everyone works together to kill this python demon, and we'll divide the benefits equally among us."

  It's just that the evil python didn't take the initiative to attack Gao Jie, and Gao Jie and his group wouldn't let go of this lone third-level demon beast either. One by one, they launched various attacks at the evil python.

  Two masters with eightfold internal energy and four masters with sevenfold internal energy would have no great difficulty in dealing with this third-grade venomous python.

  Looking back at the poisonous python, it turned out that its opponent was far beyond itself, and it immediately shrunk its body and fled down the tree.

  The python's escape led to a fierce counterattack from the opponent, and it was soon covered in wounds. The six masters were slightly injured by the python's dying struggle, and finally nailed to the ground by Gao Jie's spear.

  "It's just the right time." The poisonous python's miserable death was within Fang Yan's expectations. Fang Yan didn't rush to get the first kill, but instead hid like a snake in the dark, waiting for the perfect moment to strike a fatal blow. Just as the six people relaxed their guard, Fang Yan suddenly darted out from behind a bush, his strongest martial skill, "Crushing Mountain Fist", heavily striking Gao Jie.

  "Fang Yan, you're looking for death." Gao Jie reacted quickly and exchanged a blow with Fang Yan, sending him flying backward. When he saw that the person who had ambushed him was actually the Fang family's cultivation waste, his face was filled with anger.

  The counterattack of the eighth-order master in the Qi-refining stage was extremely sharp, and Fang Yan didn't expect to be able to blast his opponent with one move. As he retreated, he stomped on the ground and launched a Mountain Splitting Strike at Wang Yong's side.

  "Little kid, you're looking for death." Fang Yan suddenly attacked, Wang Yong's face was filled with anger. This guy was simply asking for death, daring to attack him. Wang Yong also walked the path of fierce and overbearing close combat, he didn't dodge or evade Fang Yan's attacks, instead actively meeting them head-on.

  "How is this possible, you've actually cultivated the Collapsing Mountain Fist to the realm of a first-rate master." Due to underestimating his opponent for a moment, Wang Yong didn't use his full strength, and his understanding of Fang Yan was still stuck at the third layer of the Qi Refining stage. At the beginning of their exchange, he unexpectedly suffered a not insignificant hidden loss, his internal organs were injured, and he retreated over a dozen steps in succession.

  From Fang Yan's sudden attack to Gao Jie being knocked flying, and then to Wang Yong being repelled, all of this happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that everyone was still unable to react.

  "What's going on, how can this trash be so powerful, knocking Gao Jie flying and repelling Wang Yong?" Among the people present, the most shocked was Wang Yan. More than a month ago, she saw Fang Yan in the third stage of Qi Refining, being personally killed by Gao Jin. Now he has become so powerful, it's like seeing a ghost, with an incredulous look on her face.

  What shocked Wang Yan was yet to come. Fang Yan took advantage of the situation and launched a fierce counterattack, taking advantage of Wang Yong's internal energy being in a state of virtual floating, he unleashed the Collapse Mountain Fist to its extreme, with various attacks bombarding Wang Yong.

  Fists and shadows filled the sky, Wang Yong was blocked by the left branch again. Alas, he had an injury on his body, previously burned by the poisonous python's venomous gas explosion, at this moment it suddenly burst out, and Fang Yan was suppressed without any power to fight back.

  "Ugh." Wang Yong spat out a mouthful of blood, the injuries inside his body were getting harder to suppress the more he tried to hold them back, and his whole person felt like he was spinning around in circles.

  At this moment, Fang Yan suddenly withdrew his fist, drew out the long sword behind his back, and Water Shadow Sword was launched. A dark golden sword energy shot out, directly attacking Wang Yong's throat.

  "Pffft!"

  A flash of sword light, and another "plop" sound was heard. Blood gushed out like a spring, Wang Yong covered his throat, his face filled with incredulity, and his body crashed to the ground.
