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.
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.
Even more daunting, the Great Dao of Poison permeated the air, instantly plunging the immediate vicinity into darkness!
And then, in the following moment!
"Heaven Sundering Rainbow Sword Technique, Shadowless Gapless!"
Jiang Chen's Dao Yuan Power within his body circulated wildly. As he invoked various cultivation methods, he seamlessly vanished from his original location!
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The three titanic heads of the Dao Comprehension realm demonic python, carrying an unstoppable hurricane, swiftly swept through the space Jiang Chen had previously occupied.
The surrounding landscape warped in that instant, as if space itself was jolted!
Precisely when the Dao Comprehension realm demonic python's strike hit nothing but air, Jiang Chen's nearly ethereal and colorless silhouette re-emerged atop the back of the Dao Comprehension realm demonic python.
His long sword in hand transformed into a breathtaking thunderbolt, mercilessly impaling the gap in the demonic python's scales!
Boom!
The unparalleled sharpness of the Sword Dao, the power of the Wind Dao, and a strand of the Wood Dao's force erupted wildly in a single heartbeat.
"Roarrr!!"
The Dao Comprehension demonic python unleashed a savage roar.
A massive, bloody cavity was punctured directly into its back by Jiang Chen.
A gush of red and black, foul-smelling blood erupted, spraying upwards into the sky.
Showers of blood descended onto the earth, instantly corroding a vast forest into a swamp.
Inside the gaping wound on the demonic python's back, the power of the three Great Daos rampaged through its flesh!
The potency of the Sword Dao incessantly cleaved, the might of the Wind Dao consistently eroded, and the power of the Wood Dao rendered the flesh and blood vessels rigid and withered.
The internal damage within the body of the Dao Comprehension realm demonic python was far more devastating than it appeared externally!
But after all, it was a formidable demonic beast of the Dao Comprehension realm.
And it was one of those beasts with potent innate talents.
Once it matured to its full form, it could comprehend three complete Daos, each embodied within its three giant snake heads.
Even if it was merely in the Early-stage Dao comprehension realm and only wielded the Great Dao of Poison, its power could not be underestimated.
"Roarrr!!"
As the Dao Comprehension realm demonic python roared, the powerful force of the Poison Great Dao began to collide with the amalgamated power of Jiang Chen's three Great Daos.
Jiang Chen's three Great Daos were not complete, so the residual power of their fusion, lingering within the demonic python, almost immediately neutralized itself with the force of the Poison Great Dao.
Simultaneously, the three-headed demonic python whirled around rapidly, its three enormous heads lunging at Jiang Chen.
Its entire scaled body blossomed like petals, instantly detonating!
An endless surge of poisonous Qi exploded, directly swallowing up Jiang Chen's form.
Yet, Jiang Chen's figure dissipated in the subsequent instant, revealing itself to be nothing more than an afterimage!
In the following moment.
'Heaven Sundering Rainbow Sword Technique, Void Dash!'
Jiang Chen materialized at the belly of the three-headed demonic python, poised as elegantly as a startled swan, his sword colliding with the python's scales.
"Ding!!"
An extraordinarily piercing sound reverberated across the heavens and earth, mingled with faint cracking noises.
The Peerless Sky Piercing Sword once again punctured the defenses of the three-headed demonic python, embedding itself deep within its underbelly.
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.
