Su Chen’s lips curled into an unprecedented cruel smile, and he slowly walked towards the Phoenix, "You realized now? Unfortunately, it’s too late."
As he spoke, he suddenly took a step forward, appearing in front of the Phoenix as if teleporting. That domineering punch, infused with fierce wind energy, directly blasted towards the Phoenix’s deathly pale face!
Truly retribution, haha, the Phoenix bitterly mocked herself in her heart and then closed her eyes, waiting for death to take her.
But to her surprise, this punch did not land on her face. Instead, a hoarse, painful roar suddenly sounded from behind her! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁
She quickly turned her head to find a giant spotted python as thick as a barrel, punched by Su Chen, flying backward and now hanging upside down on a branch, its gaping mouth screeching incessantly.
Su Chen fixed his gaze on the giant spotted python and said in a deep voice, "If you don’t want to die, come behind me quickly. This is a fourth-level tree python."
Phoenix’s face turned ashen. She took two steps to move behind Su Chen, fearfully looking at the tree python with its tongue flicking while hanging from the branch, exclaiming, "A fourth-level Spirit Beast? Have you seen one before?"
Su Chen shook his head and didn’t speak. Although he hadn’t seen it in person, he had flipped through the Beginner Spirit Master’s secret records several times, so recognizing some distinct Spirit Beasts was not surprising. This tree python was at least fourth-level, wood attribute. Apart from strong physical attacks and venom, it also had special wood attribute skills like Iron Wood Bind and Green Vine Tour, etc.
However, knowing is one thing; a never-faced enemy is always the most frightening. Su Chen did not think that being familiar with the tree python’s details guaranteed victory. A fourth-level Spirit Beast is equivalent to a human world beast sovereign level expert.
On the branch, the tree python shook its head and roared, its gaping mouth revealed a bluish-black cavity, the thin, terrifying venomous tongue forked, making a hissing, dreadful sound. Suddenly, its upper body surged forward, leaving only its tail coiling around the branch. The suspended part, like a winding vine, eerily still.
It seemed to be probing Su Chen’s details as well.
The atmosphere was tense as a primed bowstring, as if any movement would lead to a life-or-death struggle. Su Chen’s right palm coiled around a short blade, its surface emitting a blue wind glow. He was gathering his strength.
Phoenix seemed to sense the air’s peculiarity and retreated a few steps. Just as her steps stabilized, the tree python let out a hoarse cry and, like an undulating green vine, slithered towards Su Chen!
Its long tail swayed, its snake body bent into wave-like shapes, swiftly advancing towards Su Chen. Su Chen’s short blade, cold and sharp, suddenly cut through the air, landing precisely on the tree python’s head. Then, his body lunged forward, aiming to stab fiercely at its fatal seven-inch spot!
But just as the short blade was about to pierce the snake’s body, the tree python jolted nimbly, causing Su Chen to lose his balance, and the blade missed its target, stabbing into empty air. In this maneuver, the tree python covered a distance of over ten meters, quickly changed direction, and agilely coiled onto another big tree. Su Chen fell off but immediately shot forward, fearlessly charging at the coiling tree python.
The tree python opened its mouth wide, spraying a glob of bluish-black venom; Su Chen snorted coldly, slapped the air with his left palm, the blue wind vortex propelled him to dodge the venom attack. Then, stepping on a small tree’s trunk to his left front, he accelerated diagonally towards the tree python. As he approached, the short blade suddenly extended a few inches, becoming a wind-attributed blue light blade. This was unexpected to the tree python, unable to dodge, it was slashed across its body by the blue light blade!
