Chapter 53: The Great Battle with the Water Python

  "Miss Xia, this deep pool is unknown in depth. If we go down rashly, it will definitely provoke the water python's resentment. My intention is to go down and lure the water python up, then you can strike and kill it." Fang Yan spoke as they arrived at the bottom of Eagle Mouth Gorge's deep pool.

  "Are you okay?!" Xia Meiling was sizing up Fang Yan nonstop.

  "What's wrong with that, just attracting the water snake and breaking it one by one, not to mention making me fight against those five-stage water snakes." What men fear most is being asked if they can do something or not. Fang Yan's move was somewhat risky, but how could you get a tiger cub without entering the tiger's den?

  "Alright, be careful, our biggest enemy is the sixth-order water python. If it escapes from this deep pool, I have 70-80% confidence that I can kill it." Xia Meixiu's beautiful eyes gleamed with a fierce light, previously she was injured and would choose to retreat when facing the sixth-order water python, but now it was different, she had recovered to her peak state, and she was confident of being able to take down these pythons.

  With a loud splash, Fang Yan jumped into the depths of that glittering, scaly pool.

  Fang Yan swam towards the bottom of the deep pool like a fish. Before long, Fang Yan saw the water python living at the bottom of the pool.

  Because he was well-prepared, Fang Yan didn't show much fear, but rather a hint of excitement and anticipation.

  This Eagle Mouth Brook, if it wasn't for a chance encounter, he met Xia Niushuang, even if the Fang family came in person, they wouldn't be able to do anything about the water python in this pool. The water python guards the bottom of the pool, what kind of treasure could be inside?

  The water python is the overlord of this pool, and as soon as Fang Yan dives to the bottom of the pool, he is detected by the water python. Because Fang Yan's breath is too weak, the water python that swims out from the bottom of the pool is only a third-rate water python.

  The water snake slowly rose from the bottom of the pool and attacked with a sword energy, then turned around and swam towards the shore.

  "Boom!"

  Xia Nian's magic weapon, the Purple Brocade, struck the water python that had just poked its head out. The big fellow was shaken by the impact and became disoriented. Fang Yan seized this rare opportunity and stabbed his sword into its vital spot with great precision.

  "Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully killing an enemy and leveling up, earning 10 merit points."

  A cold system prompt sounded in Fang Yan's mind.

  The third-level water snake was beheaded, and the scarlet blood stained the entire pool of water red. The bloody smell spread out, and soon a water snake emerged from the bottom of the pool.

  "Fang Yan, hurry up and get ashore, there are five-stage water pythons emerging." Xia Mingyu felt three powerful auras rapidly approaching them from the bottom of the pond, and suddenly reminded Fang Yan.

  The fifth-order water snake was not something he could contend with, but the fourth-order water snake was able to fight. Fang Yan didn't dare to be careless and quickly moved towards the shore.

  "Looking for death."

  As soon as Fang Yan landed, a water dragon burst out of the pool and shot straight at him. Two other giant water dragons charged towards Xia Nianyu. Fang Yan let out a loud roar and unleashed his Crashing Mountain Fist, colliding with the water dragon.

  Splashing water everywhere, the originally turbulent pool was now pouring down heavy rain, with pea-sized raindrops falling into the pool and creating a layer of ripples. Three giant pythons quickly swam towards the shore, their icy pupils flashing with angry light, those two detestable humans had come again.

  "Quick battle, quick end." Xia Mengying reminded Fang Yan and then used her technique to kill the fifth-order water python.

  The fifth-stage Water Python was the strength of the late stage of the Violent Qi Realm, and it was only a moment's work for the artifact Zijin to trap and kill Xiatian's pre-heavenly late-stage expert. Fangyan, on the other hand, used all his tricks against that fourth-stage Water Python.

  "Ding! Congratulations, host's Earth-level sword skill Phantom Sword proficiency +500, only 1350 points away from advancing to the next level."

  "Ding, congratulations host for successfully killing enemies and leveling up, obtained 20 merit points."

  In the Phantom Sword Manual, the Phantom Slash was unleashed, and it can be said that Fang Yan easily broke through the defense of this fourth-stage Water Python. Next, the top-grade spiritual soldier Blood Blade struck with force, and instantly the water python died a tragic death. The cold system prompt sound kept echoing in his mind.

  The fourth water snake died, and Xia Nian's side also ended the battle. The other two water snakes were also beheaded by him.

  Looking at the five-stage water python carcass floating on the surface of the water, Fang Yan felt a pang of heartache. Unfortunately, this five-stage water python was not killed by him, otherwise he would have gained an additional 60 to 70 points of merit value. Two water pythons were worth over a hundred points of merit value, equivalent to killing ten or more third-level demon beasts.

  One of the three-headed water snakes died, and the pool bottom was turbulent with waves. Then, another three to five three-headed water snakes rushed out from the water.

  "Give me the kill." Xia Nian'ou shouted, taking the initiative to attack the water python that had exposed itself above the water's surface.

  As long as the sixth-order water snake doesn't come out, these fourth and fifth-order water snakes are just delivering food for them.

  Xia Niushan took the lead in attacking, while Fang Yan assisted from the side. In just a short span of time, barely enough for half a meal, the three-headed water python was beheaded by the two of them.

  This time, Fang Yan can be said to have learned his lesson. Just as the water python was about to make a comeback, he suddenly took over and killed all three water pythons. Xia Meiling didn't suspect anything and thought that Fang Yan was just showing off in front of her, acting out of pride.

  "Miss Xia, this situation is not right! Yesterday, a sixth-order water python appeared, and now six water pythons are dead. The sixth-order water python should have shown up by now, unless it's hiding at the bottom of the pool to recover from its injuries?" Fang Yan beheaded the water python, feeling great, and his merit points increased by 150. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask.

  "Yesterday, this sixth-order water snake was not injured. At this moment, it is hiding and not coming out. If I'm right, the spiritual object they are guarding at the bottom of the pond is about to mature." Xia Nianchu's eyebrows furrowed, and she couldn't help but speak.

  "This python won't come out, and our plan to lure the snake out is ruined. Are we supposed to dive into the water to deal with them?" Fang Yan said.

  "It's just like this now." Xia Nian'ou shook her head somewhat helplessly, then took out a white jade bottle and tossed it to Fang Yan. "There are ten Reverted Yuan Dan inside, you take them. When the big battle erupts later, your body's true energy may be greatly consumed. These Reverted Yuan Dan can recover all the true energy consumed in your body within three breaths. This is the Water Python's main territory, we must go all out."

  "Thank you." Fang Yan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and with three breaths, he recovered all the true energy he had consumed. This was countless times more effective than his Revival Elixir. He took the jade bottle and politely bowed his head in gratitude.

  Fang Yan received Xia Nianyu's Huayuan Dan, took out the last Huayi Dan and swallowed it, then followed Xia Nianyu to dive towards the bottom of the pool. If they didn't seize the time, the spiritual object at the bottom of the pool might not be theirs.

  Fang Yan and Xia Niuling had just entered the bottom of the pool, when suddenly, five fifth-stage water pythons and four third-stage water pythons burst out of the water. Now it could be said that all the water pythons at the bottom of the pool, except for that sixth-stage water python, were in front of them.

  "Kill!" Xia Meiying shouted, twisting her body and taking out the purple brocade, which first entangled with a fifth-order water python among them.

  Xia Niuyi took action, and Fang Yan naturally wouldn't show weakness, so he countered with a fourth-level water python.

  The strongest move, the Earth-level sword technique Phantom Sword, was unleashed, and the four-level demon beast was quickly beheaded by Fang Yan. The scarlet blood water spread from the bottom of the pool, and the number of water pythons at the bottom of the pool decreased one by one. Those six-level water pythons never showed up.
