Chapter 198: Confrontation with the Three-Headed Demonic Python
'Ah!'
'It hurts so much!!'
'This... this isn't a dream!'
Fang Yuan's eyes widened in terror, abruptly snapping out of his daze.
Shortly thereafter, he realized this was no dream; everything unfolding before him was reality.
Fury seemed to crack Fang Yuan's eyes wide open.
His mouth opened and closed in a tremulous rhythm, but he found himself unable to form a single word.nove(l)bi(n.)com
His self-assurance appeared to have been crushed under a club, as a chilling pang of pain radiated incessantly through his heart.
Just then.
'The battle power seems just about right.'
'The distance from here to the Shadow Wind Dark Obsidian Martens also seems appropriate. Should I get any closer, it will surely send them into flight.'
Jiang Chen mulled over, and with a clench of his right hand, the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword materialized from thin air, held tight within his grip!
Following closely.
"Run away!"
Jiang Chen launched Fang Yuan towards the location of the Shadow Wind Dark Obsidian Martens!
"No!"
"I also have the right to fight!"
Fang Yuan's roar reverberated, his eyes reddening as if he had spiraled into madness.
His self-confidence had been brutally shattered by Jiang Chen.
Yet, a tenacious obstinacy within him spurred him to resist surrender, to refuse to capitulate!
It was akin to the time he lost his regular cultivation ability, plummeting from the pinnacle to the depths of hell!
He could sense his Yuan Power swirling within his body. The speed of his forced flight began to wane, until eventually, he came to a halt in the sky fifty kilometers away.
'This guy...'
'Sure enough, he refuses to retreat!'
'Under the sway of his Heavenly Fate Value, perhaps the 'original plot' foresees both the demonic beast and I meeting our end together, while Fang Yuan reaps the rewards.'
'Hmph, it's for the best if you don't depart. Otherwise, hurling you directly into the presence of the Shadow Wind Dark Obsidian Martens might raise eyebrows.'
'...'
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed, an array of thoughts sparking in his mind in a fleeting instant.
Subsequently, he disregarded Fang Yuan.
Instead, gripping his long sword, he halted his flight and abruptly wheeled around, positioning himself in the face of the three-headed demonic python.
"Roar, roar, roar!!"
The three colossal snake heads of the Dao Comprehension realm demonic python towered, their open jaws stretching nearly to a complete 180-degree angle.
Crimson mouths harbored snow-white, elongated fangs, densely layered in concentric circles.
A mere glance was enough to incite a shiver down the spine.
Furthermore, as the Dao Comprehension realm demonic python bellowed, venom scattered around, with the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi engulfing all directions.
Though the size of the sword compared to the python's body was akin to a toothpick against a towering tree, the power it delivered was in no way lesser.
In an instant, the united force of the three Great Daos flared up once more!
The demonic python's belly twisted and writhed, and in the blink of an eye, it unnaturally deflated.
However, at this instant, an incredibly terrifying force of the Poison Great Dao surged forth from the three-headed demonic python, ferociously charging at Jiang Chen.
The velocity of this assault was particularly appalling.
In the blink of an eye, it had fully engulfed Jiang Chen's form.
The formidable Great Dao of Poison directly bypassed the protective light shield on Jiang Chen, and in nearly an instant, it was zeroing in on his skin!
'Burning World Red Lotus, Raging Flames!'
Jiang Chen's expression swiftly shifted, and he promptly summoned the Burning World Raging Flames, shaping a fire barrier around his body.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"
A spine-chilling sound persistently echoed!
The inherent potent flames of the Burning World Red Lotus did not let him down.
Even though Jiang Chen had not yet mastered the Great Dao of Fire, the Burning World Raging Flames effortlessly repelled the three-headed demonic python's power of the Poison Great Dao.
With the support of the Burning World Raging Flames and the amalgamated might of the three Great Daos, Jiang Chen was set to defeat the three-headed demonic python in due time.
However, Jiang Chen did not consistently sustain the Burning World Raging Flames, because his ultimate goal was not the defeat of the three-headed demonic python, but Fang Yuan!
"Come to your end!!"
Wielding the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword, Jiang Chen unleashed a relentless barrage of various techniques, embroiled in combat with the rugged and resilient three-headed demonic python.
He repeatedly inflicted damage on the colossal demonic beast, yet none of his attacks were fatal.
Jiang Chen's enduring capability was largely due to his practice of the Evergreen Mystic Vein True Technique.
At this moment, the battlefield of the two Dao Comprehension realm beings spanned the entirety of the Black Heavenly Plain.
What was originally a vast plain blanketed with dense black vegetation had transformed into a muddy marshland.
Mountains were leveled, and rivers were obliterated.
All creatures that didn't manage to retreat met their end, with not a complete corpse left behind.
Atop a colossal peak, the summit of which had been sheared off by the fallout of the battle, Fang Yuan stood as if anchored to the ground, his gaze riveted on the aerial battlefield.
His expression was complex.
On one hand, Fang Yuan hoped that Jiang Chen would fall at the hands of the three-headed demonic python, eliminating a formidable adversary for him.
On the other hand, he didn't wish for Jiang Chen's demise because if Jiang Chen were to perish, he, Fang Yuan, would likely be next in line.
Facing the Dao Comprehension realm demonic python, his chances of escape would be slim.
Moreover, Fang Yuan's greatest obsession was to ascend in power and then conquer Jiang Chen himself.
He wanted to seize the opportunity of the battle between Jiang Chen and the three-headed demonic python to attempt to comprehend the Great Dao and grow stronger.
At this time, Fang Yuan didn't believe he had the capability to intervene in the battle, so he observed the skirmish from the fringes of the battlefield.
