“Save me…” The old man’s desperate cry echoed, his soul on the verge of collapse. However, everyone was too preoccupied to pay any attention to him. As expected, the old man fell directly into the python’s gaping mouth.
“Beast, die!” Just then, two white-haired Ninth-rank Sovereign old men rushed forward simultaneously. As their voices resounded, they unleashed their strongest powers, striking at the python’s head.
Boom!
A deafening sound rang out as the python was pushed back a hundred meters by their combined attacks. However, it still suffered minimal damage, its scales remaining intact. In the next instant, the python recovered and swiftly charged towards the two old men with incredible speed. Furrowing their brows, the two old men once again unleashed their full strength. To their astonishment, the python evaded their attacks with almost supernatural agility, while simultaneously sweeping them off their feet with a powerful tailwind. Before the two men could fully recover, the python’s tail wrapped around one of them, causing him to gasp for air.
“Help… save me…” The struggling old man managed to utter through his struggles.
“Beast, let him go!” The other old man shouted angrily, launching a dozen fierce gusts of wind at the python.
Just as the old man’s attacks were about to hit, a burst of blood mist erupted from the python’s tail, turning the old man into scattered specks of blood.
“Damn it!” The remaining old man cursed, realizing the futility of further fighting. He quickly dodged to the side. However, the python showed no intention of letting him go easily and swiftly pursued.
“Buy me some time!” The old man, on the verge of being caught by the python, raised his hand and swept a palm towards the crowd beside him. In an instant, seven or eight men and women were sent flying towards the direction of the oncoming python, including the black-clad woman from Glavale.
“You idiot! You’re as good as dead!” A white-haired old man from Glavale nearby roared in anger, rushing towards the woman.
“Miss, Look out! Get out of the way!” It was too late, however. Helplessly, the woman, who was an Eighth-rank Sovereign, watched herself collide head-on with the python’s open mouth.
At this critical moment, a blood-red blade aura descended from the sky, slicing directly towards the python. The sharp blade aura left a deep gash on the python’s waist, causing numerous hardened scales to scatter in all directions. Feeling the pain, the python abandoned its pursuit of the woman and swiftly turned its head, diving back into the water. After a splash of water, the lake surface returned to its calm state. The black-clad woman and the other seven or eight people landed on the ground, narrowly escaping death.
“Miss, are you alright?” the elderly man with white hair ran over.
“I’m fine!” the frightened woman in black stood up from the ground. As she spoke, she looked towards Billy, who was a couple of hundred meters away, with a grateful expression in her eyes. If it weren’t for Billy’s strike, she would probably have ended up in the belly of the python by now.
“Miss, take a rest for now!” The white-haired man finally relaxed after confirming that the woman was unharmed. Then, he turned and walked towards the white man who had previously angered him, his face filled with anger.
“You fool, you almost killed her! Give me your life!” he said with a raised hand, unleashing a fierce gust of wind, overwhelming in its power.
“Get lost!” the white man snorted coldly, raising his hand to strike back.
However, the white-haired man’s cultivation was a level higher than his, already at the Half-Step Saint stage, and the white man had been injured by the python before, so he couldn’t possibly be his match. After two rounds, the elder from Glavale delivered a palm strike, sending the white man flying, barely alive and lying on the ground.
“Do you have anything else to say?” the old man approached steadily.
“I… I am the vice sect master of Heaven’s End Sect. If you dare to kill me, I guarantee that all of you will be buried with me!” the white man struggled to speak.
The old man snorted coldly. “You should be grateful that Miss Scott is safe today. Otherwise, all of you from Heaven’s End Sect would be dead!”
“Mr Dahmer!” At this moment, thirty to forty men with black and white skin ran towards the white man.
“Who… who are you people?” the white man ignored the crowd and continued to ask the old man from Glavale.
Upon hearing his identity, that old man didn’t react at all, which could mean only two possibilities. Either he had never heard of Heaven’s End Sect, or he simply didn’t care about it.
“Mr Dahmer, they… they should be from Snowflakes Sect!” a man interjected.
“Hmm?!” Upon hearing this, the white man’s pupils contracted in coldness. “You… you are really from Snowflakes Sect?”
“You’re just realizing it?” the old man responded in a calm voice. “Enough, I won’t waste any more words on you. I’ll give you a ride!”
“Spare me…” the white man quickly pleaded.
Before he could finish speaking, there was a crisp sound from his neck, and his head slumped lifelessly. The thirty to forty men before him all held their breaths, not daring to say a word. They all knew that their vice sect master had nearly killed the young lady from Snowflakes Sect. If something had actually happened to her, not only the vice sect master himself, but also everyone present would not leave this place alive.
Heaven’s End Sect ranked about sixth or seventh in terms of power in the Polar Domain, while Snowflakes Sect was the fourth. Moreover, the overall strength of Snowflakes Sect was not much weaker than that of Snowstorm Pavilion and Frost Palace. It was just that they were ranked lower because they were established more recently.
“Leave!” the old man from Glavale looked at the crowd and turned to walk towards the woman in black.
Before long, the two of them, accompanied by their people, arrived in front of Billy’s group.
“You must be from Glavale, sir?” the woman in black bowed deeply to Billy. “I am Alice Scott, thank you for saving my life!” As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Casey’s group. When she saw Harleen and Ivy, a hint of amazement flashed in her eyes. With her looks, she could be considered a stunning beauty in the Polar Domain. But in front of Harleen, she felt inferior.
“Not a problem!” Billy replied.
“Are you also from Glavale?” Stout asked in a casual tone.
“Indeed!” Alice Scott nodded in response.
“Are you all from the Central Polar Domain as well?” Soul Chaser asked.
“No, we haven’t been there!”
Soul Chaser paused for a moment and asked again, “If you haven’t been in the Central Polar Domain, are you residents of Glavale’s City?”
“Sort of!” Alice Scott answered thoughtfully. “But that’s in the past now!”
“What do you mean?” Stout inquired further.
“This is a long story…” Alice Scott hesitated to speak.
“Look, the Demonic Beast is stirring again!” Just then, someone shouted loudly from the shore.
