Faintly, Ming Quan Yun Xi seemed to see the rat's tail still bleeding!
The big rat felt a little comforted by the fear and shock in the eyes of the three disheveled figures!
He knew it! This was how a normal cultivator should react! That woman earlier must not have been human, and it definitely wasn't his fault.
Meanwhile...
Jin Bao'er continued to advance. After the big bear ran off in a huff, no more demonic beasts attacked her. The surroundings were eerily quiet! She had a feeling that to enter the Immortal-Demonic Battlefield, she would definitely encounter the owner of that trial ground!
Just then, a rustling sound came from the grass...
Her spreading spiritual sense quickly locked onto a location, and a pair of cold, scarlet eyes met hers!
Danger!
Jin Bao'er's body tensed instantly, her hair standing on end, her pupils constricting! Her keen intuition told her that this demonic beast with scarlet eyes was no ordinary foe! A strong surge of fighting spirit rose within her!
The python sensed her gaze and realized it had been exposed. It no longer hid, but boldly raised its head, its massive body slowly rising...
At first glance, the python was at least a hundred meters long and over two meters thick. Its entire body was covered in strange, dark red scales, and its long tongue flicked out with a hissing sound. A few sharp, sinister fangs were faintly visible! Its head was slightly pointed, with two strange horns growing on top...
Was this... a giant python transforming into a flood dragon?
Xuan She looked at the small human cultivator before it, its strange pupils constricting slightly. It faintly detected a trace of the unique aura of the dragon race on her...
"Human, was it you who flattened that rat's teeth?"
Xuan She spoke, its voice sharp and terrifying. Its gaze inadvertently fell upon the silver and black dragon longsword in Jin Bao'er's hand, which was emitting a faint glow! Its heart suddenly jolted! Its vertical pupils contracted!
Black Dragon?! It was indeed the aura of a dragon! But the little girl before it was clearly a cultivator! How could she be related to such a powerful divine beast as the dragon race!?
Jin Bao'er looked at it upon hearing its voice and determined that this demonic beast was at least at the Void Breaking realm! Her heart was filled with caution!
"So what if it was? It made the first move!"
Xuan She didn't care about that. Its vertical pupils narrowed, and a cold aura gradually spread. It continued to speak!
"Little girl, what is your relationship with the dragon race?"
She frowned, was it checking her family registry? Since it wanted to fight, why didn't it just attack? Why all the questions?
"I don't need to tell you, do I? Stop the nonsense and fight if you want to!"
As she finished speaking... she tightened her grip on Soul Severing with her right hand, exuding an imposing aura. Her gaze was sharp, and facing such a behemoth, there was no trace of fear on her beautiful face.
Xuan She was enraged by her insolent attitude. It thought disdainfully, perhaps she was lucky and obtained some treasure that carried the dragon race's aura! It refused to believe that this tiny human could actually have any connection to the dragon race!
The next second, its giant tail swung down fiercely towards Jin Bao'er's position. Its heavy body seemed to have no effect on its speed at all...
Jin Bao'er quickly moved away. Her longsword scraped across the scales on the python's tail, emitting a piercing "sizzle" sound! When she regained her footing, she was surprised to find that not even a scratch was left on the scales of its tail!
This demonstrated how thick and tough the python's exterior was!
Xuan She showed a contemptuous look upon seeing this. Its gaping maw suddenly opened, and it excitedly prepared to swallow her whole!
A little cultivator at the Void Breaking realm, eating her would surely greatly benefit its cultivation. Greed flashed across its eyes.
Jin Bao'er did not miss the intense killing intent coming from above. As the gaping maw approached, she didn't dodge. In a blink, her figure leaped back rapidly, landing directly on the python's tail. Then, with a heavy push, she soared towards the python's head!
Unlike its tough tail scales, the python's eyes were undoubtedly a very vulnerable spot. Jin Bao'er's sharp sword strike descended. When she was still about four centimeters away from the python, its pupils contracted, and its figure instantly disappeared from its original spot!
Even though Jin Bao'er reacted in time, her sword still plunged deeply into the ground, leaving only a small section exposed, indicating the immense force of her strike!
If she had struck the python's eye, its entire head would likely have been pierced through...
Xuan She watched this scene and suddenly came back to its senses! Its heart was filled with shock. What had just happened? Wasn't that human female cultivator at its feet just now? Why did she suddenly appear above it, leaping nearly a hundred meters? How was this possible!! This place clearly prohibited the use of spiritual energy, so she should have no spiritual power available!
Could it be... she achieved this through her own strength? That would be too terrifying! This speed was as fast as cultivators using spiritual energy, and if she had spiritual energy to assist, wouldn't she be even faster! No wonder she could repel that big rat and the big bear...
Thinking of this, it couldn't help but tense its body, its gaze becoming solemn! The opponent was not an ordinary cultivator, it couldn't be careless!
Jin Bao'er was also surprised by the other party's quick reaction. She reached back to pull Soul Severing out of the soil, but couldn't budge it!
Huh? Although the soil was hard, it shouldn't have such strong suction! What was going on?
Thinking this, she gripped Soul Severing's hilt and pulled again with force...
Under the powerful force, several large field mice in the soil were tightly biting onto Soul Severing's blade, exerting all their strength to pull it down! Looking closely, one of them was the large field mouse whose teeth Jin Bao'er had just shortened! The whole family was working together...
Its wife: Spit! What the heck is this thing? I can't bite it, and I can't pull it!
Its eldest son: Dad, my tooth hurts!
Its second son: Are the people above really human? I can barely pull it anymore!! You damn it, go easy!
Its third daughter: Dad, stop watching and help! My front teeth are going to break!
Soul Severing, covered in slobber: Numb!! Brother! Can you stop spitting, it's disgusting! And you, stop sticking out your tongue, it can't take it anymore!
Above the ground, Jin Bao'er tried with all her might but couldn't pull out Soul Severing. The python finally grew impatient! Its "hissing" grew more frequent...
So, she simply let go! Whether it was an illusion or not, she felt like Soul Severing had sunk in a little further! Due to the limitations of her spiritual sense, she couldn't see what was happening underground.
She looked up and met the python's eyes again. This time, she was bare-handed. The faint dragon's breath still lingered, surprising Xuan She slightly, but it didn't take it to heart!
"Human! I must say, you've done well to get this far! If you turn back now, you might even rank in the top ninety-odd on the Divine Rankings! If you refuse to leave..."
Before it could finish speaking, Jin Bao'er interrupted with a cold snort!
"Retreat? My apologies! My objective today is not some ranking on the Divine Rankings! I assume you've heard of the Immortal-Demonic Battlefield."
