Chapter 25 Bloodlust Pill
A sinister smile appeared on Xiong Ye's face.
"Kid, didn't you want to know my trump card?"
"This is it."
"When I discovered this spiritual spring in Black Wind Mountain five years ago, it was already here. I nurtured it with the spiritual spring and my own flesh and blood for five years, waiting for this day."
He pointed at Zhang Lin and shouted sternly, "Swallow him!"
The Azure Scale Python's vertical pupils contracted, and its massive body lunged at Zhang Lin like a bolt of dark blue lightning.
Its gaping maw opened wide, a foul stench filled the air, and two venomous fangs gleamed a ghastly white in the sunlight.
The blue-scaled python approached with extreme speed.
The massive body, over five zhang long, carved a deep furrow in the pine forest. A black pine, as thick as a person's embrace, was brushed past it, its trunk creaking so hard it made your teeth ache, before snapping in half and collapsing with a crash.
Pine needles rained down, pebbles scattered, and a foul stench swept over us.
Zhang Lin lightly touched the ground with his toes, his body moving like a willow catkin in the wind, drifting backward.
With the third-tier Wind Control Technique in full operation, each step was supported by air currents, making each seemingly light step actually send the user back three or four zhang (approximately 10-13 meters).
His gaze was fixed on the Azure Scale Python, his mind racing with calculations.
A level two peak demonic beast is equivalent to a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, just one step away from level three.
The Azure Scale Python's scales are naturally covered with defensive runes, making its defensive capabilities comparable to a mid-grade magic weapon.
The creature before us had been nourished for five years by Master Xiong with spiritual spring water and flesh. Dark gold patterns flowed across its scales, and its defensive capabilities were probably already infinitely close to those of a top-grade magic weapon.
The iron sword is a low-grade magic weapon; even if one were to unleash their full inner energy, they might not be able to break through its scales.
As for the wind blade.
He had already tested the power of the wind blade on his own Azure Scale Armor; it was more than enough to deal with a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator. But against this thick-skinned beast, it would probably only leave a few white marks.
The only thing that can harm it is the Heavenly Flame.
However, the Heavenly Flame has a fatal flaw: firstly, it consumes too much energy, and secondly, the Azure Scale Python is covered in scales and armor, so it may not be able to burn it to death.
The few clusters of Heaven-Burning Flames he had just condensed each consumed nearly ten percent of his true energy.
With his current level of Qi Refining in the mid-stage, he can only condense a maximum of eight or nine Heavenly Flames.
If he cannot break through the scales and accurately hit the vital points, once his true energy is exhausted, he will become a fish on a chopping board.
We must first find its weaknesses.
As Zhang Lin retreated, his iron sword shot out a burst of sword energy, stabbing towards the left eye of the Azure Scale Python.
The Azure Scale Python's vertical pupils contracted, and its massive head tilted slightly.
clang!
The sword energy struck the scales above its eye sockets, sparks flying, leaving only a faint white mark.
The white mark vanished in an instant, and the dark gold patterns on the scales flickered slightly, actually neutralizing the power of the sword strike on their own.
Automatic repair.
Like his blue scales, this beast's scales also had the ability to repair themselves.
Zhang Lin's heart sank slightly, but his face remained expressionless.
The iron sword drew an arc, circled behind the blue-scaled python, and slashed down again, this time targeting the gaps in the scales on its back.
Although the scales of a demon beast are thick, there are bound to be gaps between the scales, which are its natural weak points.
The Azure Scale Python seemed to sense the danger. It swung its massive body violently, and its thick tail, like a giant iron whip, swept towards the iron sword.
clang!
The iron sword was struck by the snake's tail, causing it to vibrate violently. It slipped from Zhang Lin's hand, spun backward, and embedded itself deeply in the trunk of a black pine tree, its tail still trembling incessantly.
Zhang Lin felt a surge in his dantian, and the true qi that had just gathered in his chest was shattered by this attack.
Such powerful force.
In terms of strength alone, this azure-scaled python has surpassed the physique of a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining.
"Hahaha!"
The bear's maniacal laughter came from behind the green-scaled python.
Holding a broadsword, he led his two remaining men, the three of them following behind the Azure Scale Python, closing in on Zhang Lin.
"You brat from the Danxia Sect, no matter how profound your magic or how deep your Taoist understanding, can your wind wall block my blade or the Azure Scale Python's tail whip?"
"Today, this Black Pine Forest will be your burial ground!" Xiong Ye roared.
Before he could finish speaking, the blue-scaled python pounced again.
This time, it didn't give Zhang Lin another chance to widen the gap.
The enormous snake mouth opened, and a jet of dark green poisonous mist spewed from its throat, enveloping Zhang Lin.
Wherever the poisonous fog passed, pine needles withered and curled instantly, and the weeds on the ground turned into black water, filling the air with a pungent, fishy stench.
This is the Azure Scale Python's innate poisonous mist. Even a cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining would feel dizzy and have their true energy stagnate if they inhaled just one breath.
Zhang Lin held his breath, touched the ground with his toes, and soared into the sky.
Wind Control Technique – Ride the wind!
He pushed the first transformation of the third-order Wind Control Technique to its limit at this moment.
Lifted by the air currents beneath his feet, he soared above the poisonous fog like a bird spreading its wings, his clothes fluttering in the wind.
But just as he leaped up, the blue-scaled python's tail arrived.
The thick snake tail swept across from the side with immense force, snapping several pine trees as thick as bowls in half and sending wood chips flying everywhere.
If that tail strike lands squarely, even if he's wearing the top-grade magic weapon, the Azure Scale Armor, his internal organs will be dislocated from the shock.
Zhang Lin twisted his body forcefully in mid-air, his right hand clenched, and a ball of dark blue flame appeared in his palm.
The Blazing Flame flew rapidly toward the Azure Scale Python.
The Azure Scale Python instinctively sensed the danger and dodged with a serpentine movement, causing the Blazing Flame to miss and fling back to the ground beneath its feet.
The eerie blue flames landed on the pine needles and withered branches, burning silently and instantly creating a wall of fire that separated the Azure Scale Python from him.
A hint of apprehension flashed in the vertical pupils of the Azure Scale Python.
Although it lacked intelligence, its beastly instincts allowed it to sense the danger posed by the dark blue flames.
The snake's tail abruptly stopped in front of the wall of fire, its massive body coiled up, and it hissed menacingly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Lin landed and floated back several feet, creating distance between himself and the Azure Scale Python.
His gaze swept across the battlefield.
The fog that had trapped them had completely dissipated, and sunlight streamed through the pine forest, illuminating the devastated woodland.
The wall of fire created by the Blazing Sky Flame was slowly dying down. After the dark blue flames had burned away all the fallen leaves and weeds on the ground, they naturally began to shrink as there was nothing left to burn.
The blue-scaled python coiled on the opposite side of the wall of fire, its vertical pupils fixed on him, its forked tongue flicking in and out, but it did not rashly cross the wall of fire.
Behind it, Xiong Ye and his two subordinates also stopped in their tracks.
"What's there to be afraid of!"
Master Xiong shouted sternly, "His flames consume true energy. With his Qi Refining stage cultivation, how many times can he unleash them? Charge!"
He took out a cloth bag from his waist, pulled out a handful of blood-red pills, and threw them at the blue-scaled python.
The Azure Scaled Python opened its mouth wide and swallowed the pills.
The next moment, the dark gold patterns on its scales shone brightly, a faint blood-red hue appeared in its vertical pupils, and its aura suddenly surged.
Bloodlust Pill.
A forbidden drug that greatly increases strength and speed in a short period of time by overdrawing the essence and blood of demonic beasts.
But Xiong Ye clearly didn't care about that anymore.
The Azure Scale Python let out a hoarse roar, its massive body no longer heeding the threat of the Heavenly Flame, and charged fiercely towards Zhang Lin.
It is almost twice as fast as before.
