Chapter 75: Success
The Three-headed Flame Python let out a painful hiss, its body twisting frantically, raising a cloud of dust all around, visibility suddenly greatly reduced.
If it continued, its body would be buried in dust, and by then, Chu Chen and the others would be on the defensive, unable to even keep the Star-Raising Fruit safe.
"Don't stop, keep attacking, force it out," urged Chu Chen anxiously.
Hearing this, Lei Yao disregarded the consumption of Star Power and once again used the Thunder Blade.
The Golden Armored Bull also launched an attack.
Seeing this, the Three-headed Flame Python endured the severe pain and dodged to the side.
"Lei Yao, cut off its path, don't let it get close to the Star-Raising Fruit Tree again."
Lei Yao let out a low growl and charged directly at the Three-headed Flame Python.
The Golden Armored Bull saw this and charged as well.
At this time, the Star Power of the two beasts was already more than half consumed. If they continued using ranged attacks, their Star Power would soon be exhausted.
By then, in hand-to-hand combat, they would still not be a match for the Three-headed Flame Python.
"Let's go, let's pick the Star-Raising Fruit first." After saying this, Chu Chen rushed towards the Star-Raising Fruit Tree.
Mu Chengxue saw this and could only follow.
By this time, Lei Yao was already in front of the Three-headed Flame Python. It let out a roar, and once again gathered the Thunder Armor.
Facing an opponent of such a massive size, being more cautious was prudent.
The body of the Three-headed Flame Python twisted, and its enormous tail swung directly at Lei Yao.
Seeing this, Lei Yao's expression turned serious. Both fists clenched, electric serpents wrapped around its hands, and with fists like thunder, it instantly threw out five punches.
"Bang Bang Bang"
All of Lei Yao's Lightning Fists landed on the same spot, shattering the scales on the tail, creating a huge bloody hole.
However, the power of the Three-headed Flame Python was immense. Even with a bloody hole on its tail, it still struck Lei Yao.
Lei Yao, like a kite with a broken string, was sent flying. Even the Thunder Armor had cracks appearing on it.
Lei Yao's internal organs suffered a shock, causing it to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Before Lei Yao could rise, the Three-headed Flame Python had already advanced, opening its jaws ready to devour Lei Yao.
Just then, the Golden Armored Bull had reached the side of the Three-headed Flame Python, its massive horns shimmering with golden radiance, directly piercing the Three-headed Flame Python's flesh.
The horns acted like sharp arrows, piercing straight into the flesh, as it applied force, its head lifted fiercely, the horns carving out two deep wounds on its body.
The Three-headed Flame Python let out a pained howl, and with a fierce sweep of its tail, struck the leg of the Golden Armored Bull.
Feeling a sudden lightness under its feet, the Golden Armored Bull fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the Three-headed Flame Python's eyes flashed with a cold gleam, it twisted its body and swiftly darted in front of the Golden Armored Bull, coiling its massive tail around it.
Chu Chen looked on in horror, realizing that the Three-headed Flame Python intended to use Death Entanglement.
With the terrifying Giant Power of its opponent, the Golden Armored Bull likely wouldn't last long.
Only a "crack" was heard, and the armor on the surface of the Golden Armored Bull shattered instantly.
"Lei Yao, use Frenzy."
Upon hearing this, Lei Yao's eyes turned blood red instantly, and the aura within it began to rise steadily.
At this moment, the Golden Armored Bull let out a pained moan, its eyes rolling back, blood flowing from its mouth and nose, even its breath growing weaker and weaker.
Mu Chengxue's face instantly turned pale at the sight, hastily using several Soul Skills, hoping to help the Golden Armored Bull break free.
Unfortunately, the difference in Power was too great, making the aid of Soul Skills mere drops in the bucket. Just as she fell into despair, a blade glowing with lightning directly slashed at the intact serpent head on the left side of the Three-headed Flame Python.
The hard scales of the Three-headed Flame Python crumbled instantly, the Thunder Blade slashing into its neck, creating a wound nearly a meter deep, almost severing its head.
The intense pain continually stimulated the nerves of the Three-headed Flame Python, causing it to emit a piercing howl, and its body was constantly shocked by electricity, plunging it into paralysis once again.
Seizing the opportunity, the Golden Armored Bull began to struggle desperately, but it was bound too tightly and found it hard to break free in a short time.
Lei Yao seemed to notice the predicament of the Golden Armored Bull, immediately advancing, and with a flash of the Lightning Fist, striking towards the already wounded head.
Lei Yao's attacks were cunning, each blow landing precisely on the injuries of the Three-headed Flame Python.
The Three-headed Flame Python could not withstand the intense pain and had to release the Golden Armored Bull.
The rescued Golden Armored Bull did not flee immediately but lay on the ground, panting heavily, its breathing gradually becoming steady, and its body regaining strength.
At this time, the Three-headed Flame Python was already engaged in battle with Lei Yao, continued roaring echoing through the air. Under the effect of Frenzy, Lei Yao's aura was even more terrifying than the Three-headed Flame Python, but its opponent's thick skin and sturdy physique made it extremely challenging to kill it in a short period.
Chu Chen arrived in front of the Star-Raising Fruit Tree, took out a wooden box from the Space Necklace, and carefully placed the three Star-Raising Fruits inside.
He pointed at the Star-Raising Fruit Tree and asked, "Do you want this?"
Hearing this, Mu Chengxue rolled her eyes at Chu Chen, given the current situation, she had no interest in the fruit tree.
Seeing this, Chu Chen defaulted to assuming she didn't want it. However, now was not the time to dig up the tree. He took out a Healing Pill from the Space Necklace and tossed it to Mu Chengxue.
Although there were no visible injuries on the Golden Armored Bull, its organs had been compressed, exhibiting signs of internal injuries,
and by now, the Golden Armored Bull had recovered. It stared intently at the Three-headed Flame Python, with anger in its eyes surging to the heavens.
Having suffered a great loss, the Golden Armored Bull refrained from recklessly rushing in to fight the Three-headed Flame Python.
Because it was impossible to participate in the battle between Lei Yao and the Three-headed Flame Python, and since Lei Yao held the advantage, it only needed to wait for an opportunity to strike.
The Three-headed Flame Python let out another piercing howl as its second head was severed by Lei Yao.
Losing two heads wouldn't immediately result in its death, but it significantly reduced its Combat Power, and with massive blood loss, it grew increasingly weak, struggling against Lei Yao's attacks.
Lei Yao's attacks became faster and heavier because it knew that if it couldn't kill the Three-headed Flame Python before the Frenzy state ended, it might face death itself.
The scales on the surface of the Three-headed Flame Python had mostly peeled off, its body covered in dozens of bloody holes of various sizes.
A moment later, Chu Chen noticed the aura of the Three-headed Flame Python growing weaker and even struggling to move.
At the same time, Lei Yao's aura also showed signs of instability, indicating it was about to enter a weakened state.
By now, the injuries of the Golden Armored Bull had been temporarily suppressed, and it could barely manipulate some Star Power.
"Mu Chengxue, let the Golden Armored Bull act, I will create an opportunity for it."
At this moment, Lei Yao suddenly let out a low growl, gathering the last of its Star Power into a Thunder Blade.
The Three-headed Flame Python spotted this, a rare look of fear flashing in its eyes. It turned immediately to dodge, but its body no longer cooperated with its intention.
The Thunder Blade struck squarely on the last remaining serpent head of the Three-headed Flame Python.
The scales and flesh on the serpent head were instantly cleaved, even revealing a crack nearly a meter long in the skull.
The Three-headed Flame Python emitted a cry of agonizing pain.
After the attack, Lei Yao immediately fell into a weakened state, collapsing to the ground, panting heavily.
The Three-headed Flame Python saw this, and immediately stopped its howl, opening its huge jaws, intent on devouring Lei Yao.
But what greeted it was a beam of golden light.
This light pillar shot directly into the Three-headed Flame Python's lower jaw, penetrating outward through the fracture in its skull.
The body of the Three-headed Flame Python went limp instantly, its aura completely dissipating.
