Chapter 2246 - 2235: One Man Battles One Serpent

Gazing at the barely breathing man and snake before him, Lin Zifeng wanted to leave, yet felt somewhat unwilling, and Mu Ruoyun seemed to understand Lin Zifeng’s thoughts, gently comforting him: "Lord Zifeng, you don’t need to worry, given the current state of the Soul-devouring Blood Python, even if White Sky orders it, it won’t easily attack you again."

Listening to Mu Ruoyun, Lin Zifeng felt a bit hesitant, yet the golden longsword tightly grasped in his hand did not loosen a bit: "Just fleeing like this, isn’t it letting that old thing off too easily? Just now, he wanted my life!"

"Sigh..."

Inwardly, Mu Ruoyun sighed deeply, her tone indiscernible, softly saying: "I know you’re very angry, but that Thunder Tribulation Expert is getting closer and closer. How to decide depends on you, Lord Zifeng."

As her words fell, Lin Zifeng sank into silence, lowering his head, his starlike eyes flashing with various emotions.

Trembling while gripping the longsword, Lin Zifeng suddenly raised his head and shouted, unwillingly turning away, his figure flickered a few times before heading towards Dongfang Ziyue and others.

Seeing Lin Zifeng leaving, White Sky Venerable, who had just relaxed and set his heart at ease, suddenly showed a shocked expression as four golden beams abruptly shot out towards the direction Lin Zifeng left.

"Pfft..."

The four golden longswords accurately pierced through the joints of White Sky Venerable lying on the ground, followed by another heart-wrenching scream, the clearing finally fell silent.

Moments later, the weakened and moaning White Sky Venerable seemed to sense something, his face showing delight, shouting towards the depths of the forest nearby: "Green-clothed, I’m here, come save me quickly!"

The howl penetrated the forest, reaching Green-clothed Venerable’s ears, worsening his already grim expression. Hesitating a moment, he walked towards the clearing where White Sky Venerable was, inwardly pondering: "What’s going on? Why didn’t they kill White Sky? Could it be they sensed my presence?"

While contemplating, Green-clothed Venerable walked through the forest, standing before White Sky Venerable, overlooking his sorry state, scoffing slightly, taunting: "Hmm, mere Five Supreme Venerables, beaten like this by a brat from Dongka and a little girl, truly disgraceful!"

Chastised by Green-clothed Venerable, a barely noticeable trace of venom flashed through White Sky Venerable’s eyes, then he forced a smile: "Ah, my cultivation is lacking, begging Green-clothed Venerable’s pardon."

Nodding in satisfaction, Green-clothed pretended to remove the golden longsword nailed to White Sky Venerable’s limbs, catching a glimpse of his body covered in dark red scales, a hint of surprise flashing across his face, then slowly rising a sinister smile, saying: "These few renegades seem quite capable, able to injure you like this."

White Sky Venerable listened, the joy of surviving disaster coupled with the excruciating pain across his body made him drop his guard, forcing a laugh: "Indeed, that brat Lin Zifeng killed me over forty times, if it weren’t for..."

Before finishing, he was interrupted by Green-clothed Venerable’s eager voice: "What did you say? That guy killed you over forty times!?"

"Yes, thankfully, you intervened this time, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, White Sky Venerable suddenly thought of something, his expression changing dramatically and gloomily said: "Green-clothed, what do you mean, could you be intending to harm a fellow clan member!?"

At this moment, Green-clothed Venerable’s previously concealed insidiousness finally showed on his face, maliciously smiling: "Harming a fellow clan member? In these woods, besides you, me, and those three renegades, who else knows? Rest assured, before long, you’ll all be dead."

After speaking, Green-clothed Venerable’s hands ignited with a profound green light, striking at the coiled Soul-devouring Blood Python nearby.

"Boom..."

With just one strike, the gigantic body of the Soul-devouring Blood Python exploded into countless bloody chunks scattering apart, the blood splattering around Green-clothed Venerable, yet was all blocked by a faint green protective shield, unable to get close.

Without the Life Force of the Soul-devouring Blood Python supporting him, White Sky Venerable let out a tragic scream, seemingly using all his strength to raise his trembling finger, painfully saying: "Green-clothed, you... have a truly ruthless heart."

Having killed White Sky, a fellow among the Five Supreme Venerables, Green-clothed Venerable not only felt no guilt but his face showed even more malicious glee, he said sternly: "Hmm, do you think your purpose in cultivating the Soul-devouring Blood Python can be hidden from me? If I saved you today, I conclude, it won’t be long before you break through the Heavenly Tribulation and extend your claws towards Wen Quan and others!?"

Facing Green-clothed Venerable’s questioning, White Sky Venerable did not respond, for his eyes, originally murky, slowly lost their color, the final image in his eyes was Green-clothed Venerable’s sinister smile...

Having sensed the clearing where Dongfang Ziyue and the others were, Lin Zifeng left a shadow through the woods before breaking through.

"Whoosh..."

The shadow swept past, and seeing the two sitting together unable to hide their worry on their faces, Lin Zifeng curved his lips into a light smile.

"Miss Dongfang, am I interrupting you and your master..."

Before he finished speaking, Dongfang Ziyue hurriedly stood up upon hearing and flung herself into Lin Zifeng’s arms, her voice now devoid of the coldness, filled with joy and concern: "Wonderful, you finally came."

Dongka also slowly stood up then, upon seeing Lin Zifeng covered in blood yet unscathed, lightly chuckled: "Lin Zifeng, I truly didn’t expect you to be so powerful, not even White Sky could stand against you."

Shaking his head, Lin Zifeng knew time was critical, briefly explained a Thunder Tribulation Expert was pursuing them, then hurriedly took out the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Shadow Stone from the Magic Bracelet, finding a flat space, surged his Elemental Power, allowing the transparent surface of the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Shadow Stone to slowly shine with azure light.

Just on the way here, Mu Ruoyun had taught Lin Zifeng how to use it, now, around the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Shadow Stone, countless ancient characters emerged in a mysterious form, the shining azure light enveloping all three.

"One minute, the Transmission Array requires one minute to activate, once a minute is up, we can leave this place."

Saying these words, Lin Zifeng’s tone carried no joy of escaping the Beiyao Ancient Clan, for just by his sensing ability he perceived, back in the woods where he just came, a figure was rapidly approaching.

"A pity, only one minute, I had hoped to test this brat’s strength, but now it seems, there’s no opportunity."

The ancient, dignified voice from the forest carried a hint of regret, but was mostly mocking, like a cat playing with a mouse!

Lin Zifeng and Dongfang Ziyue, though surprised at hearing this, were not as shocked as Dongka, because the owner of this voice, he had seen before!

This person, the strongest among the Five Supreme Venerables—Green-clothed Venerable!
