Little Saint looked at the Black Water Rock Python with a hint of apprehension in his eyes. "I had warned you earlier that a Fifth-stage Demon Beast guards the vicinity of the Holy Spirit Spring. Without a way to deal with it, trying to obtain the Holy Spirit Spring would be nothing but a fool’s dream."
"I will handle this Demon Beast myself."
Lin Yi looked at the Black Water Rock Python before him, and a flicker of combativeness emerged in his eyes.
Since meditating on the "Heavenly Demon Catalog" fragment in the Blood God Tower and achieving great success with the "Blood God Scripture", he had yet to truly make a move.
This Black Water Rock Python would be a good test of his sword skills.
"You want to fight a Fifth-stage Demon Beast alone?"
Shangguan Xinyan looked at Lin Yi somewhat incredulously.
Was this guy too confident?
Lin Yi responded noncommittally, "Don’t worry, I’m just going to distract this vile beast. I didn’t say I would definitely kill it."
"Take the chance when this vile beast is distracted to fetch the Holy Spirit Spring."
"Then, be careful yourself."
As soon as Shangguan Xinyan finished speaking, Lin Yi had already rushed toward the Black Water Rock Python.
A burst of Sword Qi shot out like lightning and struck the body of the Black Water Rock Python, leaving a trail of blood on its thick skin.
The Black Water Rock Python, feeling the pain, immediately let out an angry roar. Its snake eyes suddenly focused on Lin Yi, releasing an astounding chill.
"Little worm, your master wants to have snake soup today!"
Lin Yi looked at the Black Water Rock Python with a menacing grin, not waiting for it to react before releasing several more sword strikes consecutively, enveloping the Black Water Rock Python with Sword Qi like a rain shower, forcibly leaving multiple scars on its body!
After attacking the Black Water Rock Python, Lin Yi immediately turned and fled.
This completely infuriated the Black Water Rock Python, which then chased after Lin Yi.
Shangguan Xinyan immediately transmitted her voice to Little Saint.
"Can this guy really handle it alone?"
Little Saint glanced at the enraged Black Water Rock Python not far away and couldn’t help frowning. Was it really wise to let this guy alone lure away the Black Water Rock Python?
Could this guy really avoid being devoured by the Black Water Rock Python?
"Leave that to me, hurry and lead us to the Holy Spirit Spring!"
Shangguan Xinyan insisted.
Even if Lin Yi couldn’t kill this Fifth-stage Demon Beast, escaping from it should not be too difficult.
Besides, even if Lin Yi struggled against this Fifth-stage Demon Beast, when she returned with the Holy Spirit Spring, it wouldn’t be too late to lend Lin Yi a hand.
With that said, Little Saint no longer hesitated, and carrying Shangguan Xinyan and Little Jin, they headed to a ravine.
Meanwhile, the Black Water Rock Python, with incredible speed, had caught up to Lin Yi.
Yet, seeing he had led the Black Water Rock Python away, Lin Yi no longer fled but stopped in his tracks.
Seeing Lin Yi stop, a mocking glint flashed through the eyes of the Black Water Rock Python. It figured this human must be too exhausted to run and wanted to fight a desperate battle!
Unfortunately, a mere True Man Realm youngster trying to escape from its grasp was nothing but a fool’s dream!
The Black Water Rock Python immediately opened its massive jaws and lunged at Lin Yi!
However, Lin Yi’s face remained as calm as an ancient well. He simply raised his palm and then, without any fancy movements, struck out with his palm.
"Blood Sea Demon Wheel."
The Palm Power unfolded like a sea of blood, from within which a fiercely imposing Demon Wheel emerged, spinning and slashing through the air!
The Demon Wheel directly hit the Black Water Rock Python, effortlessly sending the giant creature flying!
The thick rocky shell was shattered by Lin Yi’s strike, and snake blood gushed out like a fountain!
With just one strike, the Black Water Rock Python was severely wounded!
Yet, having been wounded by Lin Yi, the Black Water Rock Python’s beastial nature was provoked even further. Black demon patterns began to glow on its body, emanating a towering black demonic aura, transforming into a black tornado that ferociously swept toward Lin Yi!
Before its enormous body even arrived, it had already raised a stormy surge, seemingly about to tear Lin Yi’s body to shreds.
However, under the crushing momentum of the Black Water Rock Python, Lin Yi’s body remained unyieldingly still. His hands came together, and a startling blood mist steamed up from his body, condensing behind him into a hundred-zhang-tall Blood Shadow!
This towering Blood Shadow was Lin Yi’s cultivated Blood God Dharma Form!
This Blood God Dharma Form, emitting a terrifying aura of blood evil, didn’t even draw a sword but simply extended its left hand and firmly grasped the Black Water Rock Python’s body!
Despite the Black Water Rock Python’s desperate struggles, causing giant waves to rise, it couldn’t budge the Blood God Dharma Form in the slightest.
The Blood God Dharma Form’s body emitted a dazzling blood light, and in the next moment, the Black Water Rock Python let out a mournful wail. Its body visibly withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, its demonic blood entirely plundered by the Blood God Dharma Form, eventually turning into a skin-and-bones corpse, falling into the water and creating an astonishing splash.
