Chapter 2243 - 2232: Divine Essence Soldiers Break Through Again

The eyes of the Soul-devouring Blood Python were already the size of lanterns, and the beams it emitted were approximately two meters thick. In mid-air, Lin Zifeng had no way to dodge!

"Primordial Battle Banner, appear!"

At the critical moment, Lin Zifeng suddenly roared, and the Primordial Battle Banner appeared in response. Almost simultaneously, Lin Zifeng pushed the space gravity to its limits.

"Buzz..."

Affected by the space gravity, the speed of the red beams slowed a bit. Nonetheless, with the beams almost before him, Lin Zifeng could only twist his body to avoid the vital areas.

By exerting the space gravity, the power of Beast Emperor Xuan Yan weakened considerably. The golden light surrounding Lin Zifeng dimmed significantly, as the red beam carrying rampant energy brushed past Lin Zifeng’s golden-glowing right arm...

"Poof..."

Merely grazed by the edge, a bloodstain about a foot long suddenly split open on Lin Zifeng’s right arm. The spurting blood and Lin Zifeng’s form created an arc in mid-air, slowly falling toward the ground.

Despite the injury, there was not a trace of pain on Lin Zifeng’s defined face. Instead, he lifted a mocking smile, similar to White Sky Venerable’s, and coldly thought, old man, you think you can just scheme against me without me scheming against you?

When the Soul-devouring Blood Python’s eyes first emitted a red beam, while avoiding it, Lin Zifeng noticed from the corner of his eye that the Blood Python’s eyes could not be closed when the beams erupted!

Although the beam was powerful, at the same time, the vulnerable area on the Soul-devouring Blood Python was also unprotected!

Lin Zifeng had initially planned to dodge the Blood Python’s attack and then suddenly counter-attack, but unexpectedly, White Sky, that old fox, turned out to be so cunning!

Even so, Lin Zifeng wasn’t perturbed. At least, everything was still within his bearable range.

"Divine Essence Soldiers!"

With a low shout, the dazzling golden light on Lin Zifeng’s relaxed hands instantly condensed into two golden long spears, which he gripped fiercely. His entire aura became even sharper!

"Whoosh..."

Lin Zifeng threw the two golden long spears with all his might, convinced that in such a short time, right after the Soul-devouring Blood Python had launched its beams, it wouldn’t have time to close its eyes!

"Clang... poof..."

The metallic clang and the sound of weapons piercing flesh reached Lin Zifeng’s ears simultaneously, bringing a tinge of regret to the joyous expression on his face.

With his right arm just injured by the red beam, his aim was slightly off; had he remained unscathed, Lin Zifeng was confident he could pierce through both eyes of the Soul-devouring Blood Python!

"Roar..."

Even so, a pained howl escaped from the Soul-devouring Blood Python as one of its eyes was pierced. Its massive body began to thrash on the ground, with dark red blood spraying from its eye, landing atop billowing dust.

With both feet on the ground, Lin Zifeng stood beside the Primordial Battle Banner. He didn’t rush to attack, but instead narrowed his eyes, scanning everything on the battlefield.

The blow he just landed, though effective, was known to be a trick that would only work once; the same move would no longer have the element of surprise the second time.

"Shame I didn’t blind this beast completely. Now that it’s on guard, it’s even less likely—the scales on its body are as tough as steel..."

Before he could finish his monologue, a sudden realization lit up Lin Zifeng’s eyes, and he urgently queried Mu Ruoyun in his heart: "Ruoyun, you just said this beast and that old fart White Sky have shared life force, right?"

With an undeniable affirmation, Mu Ruoyun asked in a puzzled tone, "What does shared life force matter? Can you find a way to win through White Sky?"

With a light smile, Lin Zifeng’s words were filled with confidence: "How can there be an Artifact Spirit as foolish as you in the world? Think carefully, the Soul-devouring Blood Python’s body is impenetrable, but even if White Sky shares its life force, his body is still merely mortal."

Hearing this, Mu Ruoyun suddenly realized, "Master Zifeng, are you saying that by targeting White Sky, we could exhaust the robust life force of the Soul-devouring Blood Python?"

Nodding his head, Lin Zifeng teased, "Not too slow; after all, you’re my Divine Artifact, Lin Zifeng’s."

With a playful remark, Lin Zifeng didn’t say more despite anything Mu Ruoyun added. Through the slowly dissipating dust, his somber eyes locked onto White Sky Venerable, who too had his eyes fixed on his prey.

For a moment, an unusual silence loomed over the clearing, with only the enormous noise made by the Soul-devouring Blood Python’s massive body rolling on the ground breaking the quiet...

"Master, do you think Lin Zifeng might be in danger..."

At this moment, Dongfang Ziyue stood on a clearing surrounded by lush greenery. After a long, exhausting run, she spoke with concern, covering her **** with her jade-like hand as her fierce breathing caused her bosom to heave.

Nodding, Dongka wiped away the sweat mixed with blood on his forehead and gravely stated, "Facing White Sky Venerable alone, danger is certain. But aside from believing in him, we have no other options now. Even if I go, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be much help; we’ll have to wait here."

After speaking, Dongka sat Dongfang Ziyue down beside him, drew his sword from his waist, and vigilantly surveyed the surroundings...

Meanwhile, in the cave where the Green-clothed Venerable cultivated, a Blood Shadow Dark Guard, drenched in blood, knelt before the Green-clothed Venerable. Rather than his usual respectful tone, his voice trembled, "Reporting to Green-clothed Venerable, White Sky Venerable is now battling the renegade, but I’m concerned—that renegade is exceptionally formidable, White Sky Venerable..."

"Slap!"

Before he could finish, the Green-clothed Venerable, dressed in green robes with white hair yet undiminished authority, suddenly raised his hand and slapped the Blood Shadow Dark Guard.

"What are you worried about? Do you doubt that White Sky Venerable isn’t a match for those renegades!? If I hear such rebellious words again, watch your head! Get out!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Green-clothed Venerable’s long sleeve swept fiercely, sending the kneeling Blood Shadow Dark Guard flying out, landing heavily by the cave entrance.

At this time, only the Green-clothed Venerable remained in the cave, hands folded behind his back. The authority shown before his subordinate slowly faded, replaced by a sinister cold smile.

"Hmph, White Sky, you thought cultivating a demon beast like the Soul-devouring Blood Python would escape our notice? Once your cultivation reaches success, perhaps leading the Five Supreme Venerables would be the only thing to satisfy your deeply hidden greed!"

The Green-clothed Venerable’s words echoed in the cave, the sinister tone piercingly harsh and prominent...

Seeing the Soul-devouring Blood Python was about to recover from its intense pain, Lin Zifeng’s eyes glinted sharply, poised to take the initiative. With golden light flashing in his hands, he charged at the fallen Blood Python.
