“York, come back!” Klein sensed something was wrong and shouted loudly.
Without needing Klein’s reminder, the man also felt the danger and didn’t have time to think. He quickly turned around and ran back.
Whoosh! Almost simultaneously, a giant python shot out from the opening in the left corner, its long tongue flicking rapidly as it charged towards the man. This was a true giant python, covered in scales and measuring about forty to fifty meters long. Its thickest part was as wide as two adult waists. The python opened its mouth and spat a stream of saliva at the man.
“York, get out of the way!” a woman shouted in alarm.
The man trembled all over and quickly dodged to the side. He was a Fifth-rank Sovereign, and with all his strength, he barely managed to avoid disaster. The python’s saliva sprayed onto the ice surface, causing it to melt and emit a piercing sound.
“Damn! What kind of snake is this? It’s too fierce!” Bob couldn’t help but exclaim nearby.
“It’s probably at least a Demonic Beast, right? Is the pressure in this ice cave caused by it?” he wondered.
“This is a Fourth-tier Demonic Beast!” Billy replied.
“The Polar Domain is really extreme, feels like there are mutated beasts everywhere.” Stout’s face also showed a shocked expression. After a momentary pause, he added, “Everyone, be careful. Its saliva is highly toxic!”
While the group was talking, the python had once again charged to within ten meters of the man.
“York, run!” the woman from Northfortia shouted again, wielding a sharp and icy blade, slashing at the python. However, the python completely ignored her, its speed increasing once again. Just as the man had gotten up from the ground and was about to flee for his life, the python bit him in the waist, engulfing half of his body into its mouth, blood spewing out wildly. Then, without the chance to let out a scream, the man was swallowed whole, not even a trace left.
Bang!
At the same time, the woman’s blade struck the python. But apart from knocking the python back more than ten meters, it had no other effect. It couldn’t even pierce through its scales. The woman was a Sixth-rank Sovereign, and her full-strength strike had posed no threat to the python.
“York!” the woman screamed in pain, her eyes turning bloodshot. Immediately, she unleashed her full power, raising her hand and shooting countless icy blade beams towards the python.
Whoosh! Just then, the python swung its tail with great force, creating a gust of wind that swept towards the woman.
“Damn it!” Klein cursed, swiftly moving and swinging his axe in his hand. However, the python seemed to have no intention of avoiding it. Its tail forcefully collided with the woman.
With a muffled sound, the woman was sent flying, crashing into the ice wall on the right side and leaving a large gap before falling to the ground. She lay there, mouth opening and closing, unable to make a sound. A large amount of blood gushed out, and her legs twitched before going still. The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. In just that moment, two mid-tier powerhouse martial artists had perished one after the other.
This python’s attack power was truly terrifying.
The icy blade unleashed by Klein left a bloody gash on the python’s body, causing blood to gush out. After all, Klein was a Half-Step Saint powerhouse. Without any obstacles, it was unexpected that he had managed to cut the python into two pieces. The Python, feeling the pain, did not retreat but instead lunged towards Klein, spewing several streams of venomous saliva from its mouth.
“Lord Klein, look out!” the remaining man on the other side shouted loudly. He wanted to go help, but with only the cultivation of a Sixth-rank Sovereign, he knew he wouldn’t be of any use if he went up.
Meanwhile, dodging the python’s saliva, Klein ran towards Billy and his companions.
“Damn! Playing this trick again!” Azure Fang said as he raised his sword, ready to charge forward.
“Azure Fang, come back! You’re no match for him!” Billy shouted.
As he shouted, Klein’s icy blade once again left a bloody wound on the python’s body. In truth, with his strength, Klein could easily kill the python directly, but he didn’t do that. Obviously, he wanted to provoke the python, stirring up trouble. And the result was just as he expected. After feeling the pain again, the python became even more restless. Its eyes turned crimson, its teleportation speed increased, and it continuously spewed venom. Before long, after Klein wounded it again, the python went into a frenzy, charging recklessly.
And, Klein had already dodged to the side. Since the python had turned its head towards Billy and his group, in its perception system, only these few people were left.
The python rushed towards Billy with a violent gust of wind, its momentum terrifying.
“Boss!” Casey and the others shouted simultaneously.
“Don’t worry about me, you guys retreat first!” Billy replied in a deep voice.
Klein, standing nearby, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, a trace of satisfaction flashing across his face. This was exactly the result he wanted! However, in just a moment, his expression stiffened.
Billy, facing the python’s attack without any intention of retreating, exuded an even stronger aura. Then, just as the python was about to reach him, he raised his hand and slapped it, unleashing a powerful gust of wind and a towering wave of energy. With his current power, even a genuine First-rank Saint would find it difficult to withstand, let alone a snake that was only comparable to a Seventh-rank Sovereign.
Boom!
A loud noise echoed out as the python was blasted back dozens of meters, stopping right near Klein. Just as Klein was about to run away again, Billy’s second palm strike had already landed. Then, the front half of the python’s body exploded like a ripe watermelon, blood and venom mixture flying in the air. The air was filled with a strong stench.
“This smell is toxic, hold your breath!” Stout shouted loudly, while taking out several pills from his body and handing them to Casey and the others. “Take these pills, everyone!”
Casey and the others swallowed the pills.
“Boss, do you want one too?” Stout then looked at Billy.
“No need!” Billy shook his head.
“Alright!” Stout didn’t insist. He knew Billy was immune to all poisons, so this poison posed no threat to him.
“Ah…” Soon, Klein let out a hysterical scream. He was covered in the python’s venom, a pitiful sight to behold. Although he was a Half-Step Saint powerhouse, he did not have immunity to all poisons. This outcome was obviously intentional on Billy’s part. Since Klein stirred up trouble, he had to pay a price.
