Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

The Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python moved at an incredible speed, and even Xia Feng, who had just fought with it, was knocked away several times by Nine Evils.

When the two Earth Tier First Layer Martial Sovereigns were caught up, they gritted their teeth and couldn't help but glance back.

What they saw shocked them.

A massive shadow loomed over their faces, and the tail of the serpent, as large as a small mountain, was about to strike their faces.

"Qing Yun, hold on!"

Chenli, the eighth emperor of the Upper Nine Floors, shouted suddenly. The ninth emperor, Qing Yun, gritted his teeth and raised his Great Halberd, stubbornly enduring the heavy blow from the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python.

Meanwhile, Chenli quickly retreated from the battlefield. Brandishing his terrifying large blade, he stepped forward and swung viciously at Xia Feng.

He could tell that Xia Feng was merely at the Profound Tier Third Layer Martial Sovereign realm; against such a weak opponent, he could slice him into pieces with a single strike!

Though he didn't understand why this Emperor Level Exotic Beast was listening to Xia Feng, he knew that if he captured and killed him first, this creature wouldn't be able to cause any further trouble.

Thus, he quickly reached an agreement with Qing Yun, his long-time battle companion: one would temporarily hold back the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python, while the other swiftly ambushed Xia Feng.

However, just as his blade was about to strike Xia Feng, ten strands of the Power of the Great Dao within Xia Feng's body suddenly converged, and, combined with his Supreme Technique, he transformed into a golden figure.

"Clang!"

The Qingxue Sword, wielded by Xia Feng, clashed with Chenli's emperor-level weapon in mid-air, producing a loud explosion and sparks flying across the sky.

"What!"

Seeing that Xia Feng actually withstood his attack, Chenli's eyes widened in disbelief.

"How could it be? You're just a mere Profound Tier Martial Sovereign, how could you withstand my strike!"

He looked at Xia Feng incredulously, the situation before him was beyond his understanding.

An ordinary Profound Tier Martial Sovereign was no match for him, and even those at the Profound Tier Ninth Layer would only be crushed by him.

Yet, facing his all-out attack, this Xia Feng, who was only at the Profound Tier Third Layer, had casually blocked it.

"Because I'm a genius."

Xia Feng sneered, unwilling to waste more words with him, and immediately engaged him again.

With his full power unleashed, Xia Feng indeed had the capacity to fight against an Earth Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign.

Chenli and Xia Feng tangled in the sky; seeing that he couldn't take down the opponent quickly, Chenli couldn't help but feel anxious.

On the other side, Qing Yun was fighting the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python.

But after a few dozen moves, Qing Yun's entire body was stained with blood; he was utterly no match for the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python!

With one at the Earth Tier First Layer and the other at the Earth Tier Fourth Layer, even with Nine Evils' single-minded attack methods, the overwhelming difference in realm allowed it to crush all with overwhelming force.

"No, Chenli, help me!"

Seeing the gigantic serpent tail striking toward him again, Qing Yun couldn't help but cry for help toward Chenli.

In the previous few dozen battles with the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python, his body was struck multiple times, leaving him incredibly weak with his internal organs trembling.

"Damn it, get out of my way!"

Hearing Qing Yun's cries, Chenli's eyes turned red, and he kicked out fiercely, intending to kick Xia Feng away and go to the rescue.

Unfortunately, his kick missed; Xia Feng sidestepped to evade the blow, and then he immediately infused the Qingxue Sword with Ice and Fire Power, sending a red-white sword qi that formed a barrier behind Chenli, trapping him in place.

"You think you can just leave anytime? Do you take me for your outhouse!"

Xia Feng dashed forward, kicking a panicked Qing Yun, sending him stumbling backward until he crashed into the Ice and Fire barrier.

"Alright, alright, alright! If you want to die, then I'll kill you and then go help him!"

Chenli endured the kick, infuriated, biting his finger to utilize his essence blood to rapidly enhance his power.

"Although recovery afterward will take a while, killing the Imperial Prince of the Great Xia Empire makes it all worthwhile!"

Chenli sneered sinisterly.

Meanwhile, Xia Feng watched him expressionlessly.

Gradually, Chenli's realm broke through to become an Earth Tier Second Layer Martial Sovereign, with his aura soaring even higher.

Considering Chenli's enhanced power, Xia Feng chose not to continue the fight up close with him and kept his distance, continuously unleashing long-range Divine Techniques.

Watching the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python's movements behind Chenli, Xia Feng couldn't help but smile.

Without Chenli's assistance, Qing Yun was struck down to the ground, coughing up blood and exuding weakness all over.

"Damn... beast."

Qing Yun spat out a mouthful of blood, but before he could recover, Xiao Jiu's second attack came again.

The gigantic serpent tail struck Qing Yun's face again, and the slow-moving Qing Yun couldn't evade.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Endlessly taking the hits, Qing Yun felt like a nail being hammered, turning into dust in the end.

He wanted to resist, but the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python's power was several times his own; he was nearly out of strength to even defend.

"Dull humans..."

Nine Evils saw the opponent growing weaker, unable even to resist anymore, finding it rather boring.

"It's time to help my master."

Saying this, Nine Evils concentrated all its power in one spot and then unleashed a devastating tail strike.

"No!!"

Qing Yun watched the serpent tail that blotted out the sky and sun closing in, and his pupils contracted tightly.

He was going to die; this blow would indeed kill him!

He desperately wanted to escape, but with his entire skeleton almost shattered, he couldn't leave.

At this moment, he seemed to perceive the approach of death, biting his teeth, roaring as he mobilized all the spiritual power in his dantian, frantically squeezing out all his strength.

The Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python's eyes turned slightly cold; seeing that the opponent still had thoughts of resistance, both its heads tilted back toward the sky.

In an instant, countless drops of black-green venom spewed forth, eroding Qing Yun's body at the moment the ferocious tail strike descended!

Qing Yun, who barely recovered some strength and intended to dodge the blow, found it impossible amidst the overwhelming venom; he kept changing his footing, but under the massive coverage of venom, evasion was futile, watching helplessly as it coated his body.

"Ah, pain, it hurts so much!"

As the venom touched him, Qing Yun felt a heart-devouring, soul-burning agony, feeling as if his entire body was about to melt.

The burst of power he had just mustered weakened again, causing the ninth emperor, Qing Yun, to stumble and crash to the ground.

"Boom!"

The strike carrying tremendous force finally landed, causing immense clouds of dust to rise, creating a large depression more than ten meters wide on the ground.

When Xiao Jiu withdrew its tail, what remained in the pit was Qing Yun's unrecognizable form, reduced to nothing more than a heap of mud.

Qing Yun, the ninth emperor of the Upper Nine Floors of the Rizhao Empire, fell during the ambush of the Imperial Prince of the Great Xia Empire.
