The Heaven-devouring Python extended its tongue, looking solemnly at the Blood Asura, with several scales on its body already in tatters, and in some places, flesh was clearly visible.
The Blood Asura chuckled twice, wielding the Scythe of Death as it charged forward.
The Heaven-devouring Python was thoroughly enraged, raising its massive head to counterattack.
A red light streaked across the top of the Heaven-devouring Python’s head, and the Blood Asura appeared behind it.
With one slash, the blade’s light was astonishing.
The Heaven-devouring Python froze in midair, its body immediately went limp, crashing heavily to the ground.

Ye Chen’s team points rose from 110 to 144!
After this battle, everyone was somewhat tired and sat down to rest on the spot.
The sky was gradually darkening, and checking the time, it was already past seven in the evening.
Lei Yun said, "Let’s call it a day for now. Rest early, and we’ll set off again tomorrow."
The Heaven-Devouring Tiger glanced at the watch and said, "The other two big teams, their total points are already 290 and 320. We need to work harder tomorrow."
Zhu Qiang said with some concern, "Chen, will they act again tonight?"
Ye Chen shook his head and replied, "No, they also need to rest."
Yu Nian, sitting on one side, thought for a moment and said, "They are probably split up, a small team at a time. This way, although they hunt many monsters, the efficiency will slow down significantly, and there will be casualties."
Upon hearing Yu Nian’s words, the crowd fell into thought.
Ye Chen had also noticed this issue because two of the squads on the watch had member names that turned black, meaning they had died.
Ye Chen suddenly said, "Let’s draft a combat plan; I have a more efficient method."
The Heaven-Devouring Tiger and Lei Yun immediately perked up.
Ye Chen said, "We can do it : at night, two squads rest while one goes out to hunt monsters. If there’s any danger, immediately call for help. This way, our overall points will increase significantly."
The Heaven-Devouring Tiger and Lei Yun exchanged glances and nodded. This method was indeed feasible.
The Heaven-Devouring Tiger said, "Alright! Then let’s do it. We’ll go first tonight."
Ye Chen nodded in agreement, and Lei Yun naturally had no objections either.
"Okay, then we’ll head out first!"
Watching the Heaven-Devouring Tiger’s departing figure, Ye Chen reminded, "Safety is the top priority; retreat if you encounter a high-level monster."
With that, the figures of the Heaven-Devouring Tiger and the others disappeared into the grass.
Ye Chen and the others also returned to the house to rest.
Yu Nian said, "Ye Chen, what do you think our chances of winning are this time?"
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "No one can be sure about that, but it’s only just begun. The last couple of days are when the real confrontation will happen."
Zhu Qiang asked, puzzled, "Why do you say that?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Because the other two big teams will definitely kill and plunder Heart Cores on the last day. The scoring is based on Heart Cores."
"Ah! But it’s just a competition. Does it matter if they become the overall commander?"
Yu Nian got up and smiled, "You’re thinking too simply. For us, winning is just for safety, but others gain much more from winning."
Ye Chen also said, "That’s right, Yu Nian is correct. If they are willing to stake their lives, there must be great benefits, benefits that make them stop at nothing to win."
Zhu Qiang’s face suddenly fell: "That’s just too cruel."
After chatting for a while, they went to sleep.
Early the next morning.
Ye Chen and the others stepped outside, and Lei Yun and the others were already out early.
"Morning, the Heaven-Devouring Tiger hasn’t returned yet?"
Lei Yun shook his head and said, "Not yet, probably on their way back!"
The group stood waiting for another half an hour, still with no sign of the Heaven-Devouring Tiger and the others.
Lei Yun couldn’t help but worry and said, "Could something have happened?"
Ye Chen’s brows furrowed as he coldly said, "Check the Heaven-Devouring Tiger’s location; let’s go and see."
Lin Nuoyi immediately opened the watch to check the Heaven-Devouring Tiger’s position.
Although the watch could show location information, it could only display teammates’.
Lin Nuoyi looked at the watch and said, "It’s right up ahead."
The group quickly headed towards the Heaven-Devouring Tiger’s location.
The location of the Heaven-Devouring Tiger on the map wasn’t far ahead.
Ye Chen and the others quickly arrived at the location and saw the Heaven-Devouring Tiger and others confronting a group of people.
The Heaven-Devouring Tiger shouted, "Rakshasa, don’t go too far!"
In front of him stood five people, looking like another small team.
Ye Chen and the others quickly stepped forward, standing behind the Heaven-Devouring Tiger.
Lei Yun asked, "What’s going on?"
The Heaven-Devouring Tiger gritted his teeth and said, "We had this monster down to a sliver of health when this dog stole my kill and demanded we hand over all Heart Cores! This is outrageous!"
Ye Chen looked over; the Rakshasa was twenty-four years old, an LV11 Pet Tamer.
Slender build, stern face, dressed in a black combat suit.
The Rakshasa also scrutinized Ye Chen and the others, with an unpleasant expression.
Lei Yun, whose temper also flared, angrily shouted, "Rakshasa, stealing kills is unmanly, if you’re capable, kill your own, and hand over the stuff!"
The Rakshasa smirked sarcastically, "Survival of the fittest, it’s the law of nature. You lack strength, so being robbed is deserved! I tell you, now we’re just taking your kills, in a few days, it’ll be your heads!"
Faced with blatant threats, the Heaven-Devouring Tiger couldn’t hold back and was about to brawl with Rakshasa.
The Rakshasa didn’t take him seriously at all, waved dismissively, and said, "Prepare to meet your demise. Haha! Let’s go!"
