Chapter 362 - 64: Ancient Dark Forest, Ice Python 3
"Leave! Dare to step forward, and you shall be slain without mercy!"
A streak of sword Qi from Yi Tian flashed past, slicing through a tree beside Heiza.
"Oho! Oho! Attack, kill the men, seize the women."
"Oho, oho!"
Heiza, fearless like a newborn calf, paused for a moment and continued leading his men in a charge.
His men echoed Guzza’s call with animated hooting.
"There’s no enemy on the other side, just stand your ground and defend."
Yi Tian stopped being courteous with these savages and said to his employer before rushing toward Heiza’s group of savages, sword in hand.
Heiza’s group included fifteen A-level warriors alongside Heiza, but none had talent, skills, nor three pieces of divine weaponry.
In Yi Tian’s view, these people were less worthy than a late-stage B-level Lord.
The remaining one hundred savages were either mid-stage B or late-stage B-level.
"Kill him first!"
Heiza brandished a Bone Blade, ordering other savages holding Bone Spears to attack Yi Tian.
An early-stage A-level savage clashed with Yi Tian, baring fierce features, his hairy hand gripping a spear aimed straight ahead.
"Crack!"
The sharp Cyan Gang Sword swiftly severed the Bone Spear.
These savages relied purely on brute strength, lacking technique.
Yi Tian reversed the Cyan Gang Sword, piercing the savage’s throat.
With thirteenth-level Swordsmanship Mastery and Triple Sword Intent.
These savages were no match at all.
Their weapons, fragile as toys.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Yi Tian slaughtered in all directions, sweeping through, even A-level savages were not his opponents.
Soon, he cut down all the A-level savages.
"Kill the man!"
Heiza shouted and charged at Yi Tian.
His Bone Blade, made from the remains of a High-Level Ferocious Beast, appeared very sharp.
"Not until you see the coffin for tears to fall!"
Yi Tian had no pity for these savages, they wanted to kill him, so he would kill them.
"Pfft!"
Yi Tian sliced through the Bone Blade, retreating and advancing, the Cyan Gang Sword pierced Heiza’s chest.
"Ah! Heiza is dead, the man is formidable, run fast!"
The savages panicked, seeing that the A-level warriors were mostly dead or wounded, they lost the courage to fight, yelling to escape.
Dozens of savages scattered, but Yi Tian did not pursue.
"Let’s go!"
Yi Tian said to his employer.
The employer, still shocked by the second deadliest under the sky, truly a killer without blinking.
A-level warriors, cut down like fruits and vegetables. The employer could defeat early-stage A-level warriors but was far from the second deadliest under the sky, killing with one sword with shocking power.
Yi Tian’s words awakened the employer, who hurriedly unfolded the Treasure Map to lead the way.
Even the employer’s Indigenous People followers were quite afraid of Yi Tian.
Python Mountain!
A small hill hidden in the jungle, as recorded by the Forest Elder, often frequented by giant pythons, thus named Python Mountain.
At the foot of the hill, there were man-high thick grass.
It was grass, not shrubs.
"Second under the sky, do you think there are pythons among these grasses?" The employer saw the tall grass and recalled the treasure map’s records, feeling uneasy.
"Certainly!"
Yi Tian had already sensed something unusual in the grass, and there was not just one.
Very strong!
"Whoosh!"
Flames ignited in Yi Tian’s hand, thrown into the grass.
The employer thought: So the second under the sky possesses Fire Attribute True Qi and is skilled in Magic.
Yi Tian’s flames had 900+ damage, paired with sixth-level Fire Mystical Technique, formidable.
The lush deep green grass, its moisture instantly evaporated by the flames, in an instant, a raging fire ignited.
"Crack-chaa..."
Suddenly, white ice crystals covered where the fire burned.
These ice crystals immediately extinguished the source of the fire.
A white serpent raised its head from the grass.
The part visible was as thick as a water barrel even at its narrowest.
"Hissss!"
It was not hissing, but angry hissing from the white serpent.
Race: Ice Python.
Stage: Mature.
Potential: S-level.
Strength: 890.
Constitution: 930.
Agility: 899.
Spiritual Power: 3508.
Spiritual Power: 350.
Talent: Extreme Ice Qi, S-level. Spit Extreme Cold Qi, Spiritual Power potency increase by 50%. Able to spit once every half hour.
"S-level Spirit Beast, run!"
Upon detecting the Ice Python’s strength, the employer turned pale, ready to use a Mist Scroll to escape.
Yi Tian grabbed her Mist Scroll and shouted deeply, "Don’t forget, I am a mercenary!"
With treasures yet to be divided, Yi Tian couldn’t abandon midway.
Those lacking strength would abandon halfway.
Yi Tian had a complete chance to kill the Ice Python.
From the Celestial Dao Stone, Yi Tian learned that an Ice Spirit Bead was inside the Ice Python, absorbing it increases Ice Mystical Technique by two levels before level 6, one level above level 6, ineffective at over level 10.
Though similar to "Ice and Fire Spirit Bead", but completely different concepts, one in the sky, the other underground.
Just as this happened, three more figures emerged from the grass.
All were giant pythons, with black and cyan patterns on their bodies.
Each had above mid-stage A-level strength.
They were ferocious beasts, not spirit beasts, led by the Ice Python.
"You all move back, and move far, I’ll fight!" Yi Tian feared the employer would flee, so he hung the Mist Scroll on himself.
Anyone from B-level seeing a talent-bearing S-level ferocious beast would feel uneasy.
"Be careful, if it really doesn’t work, we transmit together." Her words implied, second under the sky, can you return the Mist Scroll?
Rumors said the second under the sky had S-level Attack Power, but between actual S-level and B-level, lies a vast chasm.
The employer no longer pressed for the treasure, as long as she returned safely.
The Three-star Treasure Map was a trap. Not mentioning it cost her ten thousand gold, but in the end, it is guarded by an S-level Spirit Beast. Who can handle this?
"Faced with an opportunity, you must shrink back. Do you intend to live till the end? Obtaining a Treasure Map is the luck of the heavens. Do you think there’s another chance?" Yi Tian asked repeatedly, refusing to give.
The employer was dumbfounded, forced to buck up, secretly cursing the second under the sky as a madman.
"Rest assured! I’ll protect you well!"
Right after Yi Tian spoke, he grabbed the employer’s chin and opened the Hundred Flowers Spirit Wine’s wine gourd.
"Mmm..."
The employer struggled, puzzled by what the second under the sky intended, but before the second under the sky, she couldn’t resist at all.
A sip of Spirit Wine was poured into her mouth, forcing her to swallow it down.
"Cough, cough!"
After Yi Tian released her, she continued to cough.
The next second, she felt the plague within her body vanish, and no longer felt any pain or fatigue.
She realized then, the second under the sky had given her plague-treating medicine.
"If you want me to drink, just let me, why force it."
Suddenly, the Ice Python began its attack, Yi Tian exerted himself to push the employer aside.
"Whoosh!"
The Ice Python spat a lump of ice crystal, aiming toward Yi Tian.
The three giant pythons charged as well.
The employer could only draw them to one side, sharing the pressure for the second under the sky, the madman.
With just a spit, it had an attack power of three thousand. If hit by the ice crystal, one would immediately turn into an ice sculpture.
Mountain Lifting and Cauldron Carrying!
Yi Tian fired up at full power, unleashing the sword’s might to the fullest, cutting through the mass of ice crystal.
"Clap!"
The ice crystal shattered.
In that instant, Yi Tian could feel the piercing cold.
"World-Edge!"
A slash of sword Qi from Yi Tian, not toward the Ice Python.
But aimed at the giant python heading toward the employer’s direction. The target is the only giant python with over 2,500 in three-dimensional statistics.
"Pfft!"
The giant python lost its head as it moved, sliced by Yi Tian.
The strongest giant python was slain, and the recovered strength employer could use Martial Skill and Seventh Level Sword Technique Mastery to maneuver with the remaining two giant pythons.
The remaining two giant pythons were much weaker, with just 1800+ in three dimensions.
"Whoosh!"
Taking this opportunity, the Ice Python spat another ice crystal. This time, even stronger.
"Clap!"
Yi Tian shattered this ice crystal, but ice crystals formed on his sword.
Some small sparks splashed onto Yi Tian’s hand, causing ice crystals to appear on it too.
Yi Tian hurriedly circulated the Fire Element in his hand, only barely melting the ice crystals.
