The Three-Crowned Golden Flower Python slithered uneasily on the ground, half of its body upright in a defensive and aggressive stance. Its red eyes were fixed on the figure in the white dress floating in mid-air.
“Damn human! How dare you trespass on my territory!” the Three-Crowned Golden Flower Python roared in anger, speaking in human language.
Despite its fury, the python did not immediately attack the person in mid-air, as it was severely injured. Leo’s gaze also turned to the figure in the white dress, a woman holding a blue long sword, standing gracefully in the air. Her black hair cascaded down to her slender waist, and her delicate face was partially veiled by a thin fabric. The mountain wind gently blew, revealing glimpses of her perfect features.
“It’s her!” Leo quickly recognized the woman in mid-air. She was Seraphina, the genius disciple from Falling Blossom Palace who had appeared at the Marquis Manor auction. Seraphina was well-known not only within thousands of miles around Zratol but also throughout the entire Martial Dynasty and neighboring kingdoms.
There were two reasons for this: her astonishing cultivation talent, having reached the Spirit Saint realm at just twenty years old, and her peerless beauty. Many talented young men from the Martial Dynasty and surrounding kingdoms admired Seraphina.
“Human girl, leave quickly, or I will devour you alive!” the Three-Crowned Golden Flower Python threatened angrily. If it were at its peak, the woman before it would be troublesome but not unbeatable. Unfortunately, it had fought a fierce battle with the Gold Horned Kirin Leopard last night and was heavily injured, with less than half of its peak strength remaining.
In response to the python’s threat, Seraphina’s eyes remained clear and calm. In the next moment, the blue long sword in her hand glowed brightly with a clear blue light as she slashed towards the python’s head.
“Damn human!” The python roared in rage, opening its massive mouth to spew a pale golden flame that shattered the watery sword light.
It then swung its enormous tail fiercely at the slender figure in mid-air. Seraphina’s figure flickered as she dodged the massive tail, which struck the ground and created a deep pit.
The python knew it couldn’t afford a prolonged battle. Its giant tail, covered in golden patterns, moved swiftly, creating golden shadows that whipped through the valley.
Seraphina formed seals, and blue water ripples spread out. Her body seemed to transform into water ripples as she effortlessly evaded the python’s golden shadows.
The giant golden tail continued to smash into the valley, causing the ground to tremble and crack.
“Damn it! Damn it!” The python roared repeatedly, its massive tail thrashing wildly. After a series of futile attacks, its enormous body was almost entirely stained with its own blood.
“Water Sky Sword!” Seraphina whispered softly, and her long sword emitted a clear blue light.
With the light’s ripple, hundreds of transparent blue sword lights formed in front of her.
This scene exuded a powerful sword intent that made Leo, watching from afar, feel a twinge of surprise.
“With an exceptional spiritual weapon and such sword intent, Seraphina is truly talented.”
As Seraphina swung her sword, hundreds of blue sword lights turned into streams of light that shot towards the python’s massive body.
Fear flickered in the python’s red eyes as it roared and swung its tail to shatter half of the blue sword lights.
However, the remaining sword lights were incredibly sharp, leaving deep gashes on its massive body. The python’s enormous body swayed as it let out painful hisses.
Leo crossed his arms, watching with an amused expression. “The injured Three-Crowned Golden Flower Python is no match for Seraphina; it won’t be long before she kills it,” he thought.
The python’s body was covered with hundreds of sword wounds, and blood continuously spurted from a wound near its vital spot that had been pierced by the Gold Horned Kirin Leopard’s horn. “Damn human! If I were at my peak, you wouldn’t be my match!” The python roared repeatedly, and pale golden flames surged in its red eyes. “I will burn you to ashes! Innate Divine Art: Golden Flower Burning World!”
The python opened its mouth wide, and golden flames condensed into dozens of giant golden flowers that shot towards Seraphina in mid-air. After using this innate divine art attack, the python’s aura weakened significantly. Clearly, this attack was its last resort.
“Water Spirit Protection!” Faced with the python’s innate divine art, Seraphina did not take it lightly. Her slender fingers quickly formed seals, and a clear blue light spread from her body, forming a giant blue water sphere that enveloped and protected her. A complex and ancient pattern appeared on the surface of the water sphere. Even from a distance, Leo could sense that Seraphina’s technique was extraordinary, comparable to his own Nine Heavens Star Chart.
In the valley, giant golden flame flowers crashed into the blue water sphere like a tidal wave. The high temperature of the golden flame flowers caused steam to rise from the water sphere while simultaneously extinguishing the golden flames. The water sphere began to tremble violently.
Inside the water sphere, Seraphina’s face turned slightly pale, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth. It was clear that dealing with the python’s innate divine art was not easy for her. A cold glint flashed in Seraphina’s almond eyes as she changed her finger seals. Water spirit power surged from her body, causing the blue water sphere to expand rapidly and extinguish all the incoming golden flame flowers.
Seeing its innate divine art being countered, fear surged in the python’s red eyes. It was genuinely afraid now because it could no longer use its innate divine art due to its severe injuries. Unable to win, it decided to flee.
The python’s massive body twisted as it tried to escape from the valley. Seeing this, Seraphina’s beautiful eyes narrowed, and the blue light on her long sword intensified.
