*Hiss!!!*

Several red-eyed snakes rose from the lake, their eyes strained, fangs sharp as they took in the view of their intruders.

Bai Yu shivered a bit facing those angry eyes, yet he stood firm. Backing down now will only give these monsters the incentive to attack them. Bai Yu was in top condition, but Xiao Tian was not. The previous python having done a number on him.

Bai Yu quickly asked the protagonist beside him, "Any idea, how to survive?"

Of course, Bai Yu was asking if Xiao Tian had some trump card for the scenario. The protagonist usually has some trump card, and now seems to be the right time to use it.

Xiao Tian closed his eyes for a moment. Several thoughts ran through his mind. But in face of the impending doom, he resolved himself as he asked the unknown disciple in front of him. "Stall them for a minute. I have a technique to finish all of them in a single move but it takes a while to charge."

It might sound ridiculous to any other cultivator. A second-stage Qi cultivator possessing a technique that could cross several stages, capable of finishing a mature Red python. But Bai Yu was not anyone. He was a transmigrator, having full knowledge of the ludicrous abilities of these protagonists.

Bai Yu let out a soft sigh, then a gleam of light passed into his eyes. He then ordered, "Make it quick."

Bai Yu tapped his bag of holding, a very simple green leaf appearing in his plan. It was the Leaves of Healing, possessing a secondary feature of enhancing concentration.

Bai Yu quickly put it in his mouth, ready to swallow it the moment he got a fatal injury. Bai Yu brandished his silver sword as he got ready for the final confrontation.

Xiao Tian seeing the posture of Bai Yu knew he had agreed. He didn't care much about the leaf that Bai Yu had put in his mouth as there were several battle enhancement materials present in the cultivation world. Rather he was relieved that, Bai Yu would help him instead of escaping. It was a kind gesture that Xiao Tian rarely had the opportunity to witness.

So, Xiao Tian calmed his breathing, trying to condense all the energy he had acquired from the [Star Fruit], into fueling his flames.

Bai Yu quickly launched himself toward the snakes, taking advantage of their disorientation from his quick moments. He quickly launched a water surface slash to attack as many of them as possible, disabling, and even killing a decent amount. But unfortunately...this didn't last forever. The snakes were soon able to regroup.

And they were angry.

"Screech!" The Mature red Python roared a loud, disturbing the flow of the lake. It launched itself toward Bai Yu who quickly dodged to the left, finding other Red Pythons in his path.

The world seemed to slow down at this moment, as Bai Yu could see the minute details of the pythons from the rage-filled eyes to the scales that grew on their body.

He shifted his sword stance from first to third with the grace that comes from thousands of hours of practice.

As if threading a needle, Bai Yu dodged the onslaught of the various lower-ranked Red Python. His movements were graceful to boot, his sword never stopping as it sliced several Red Python as if they were still targets.

In the end, not only did he escape, but Bai Yu was also able to clear a large number of monsters.

"Screech!"The numerous low-leveled python screamed as they flailed around and ultimately stopped.

The Red Python seemed to get even angrier as it came charging like a bullet, its speed astonishingly fast. Its large frame does nothing to prevent it from ever reaching this wondrous speed, its large body sped towards Bai Yu.

The moment before it arrived, Bai Yu again jumped, dodging its lunging attack with very high spatial awareness. But before he can rejoice, another large red python seemingly appeared out of nowhere, trying to eat him in this moment of airborne.

A second fifth-stage red python would have surprised many and would have evidently led to a game over. But Bai Yu was not surprised, rather he was expecting this hidden snake from showing its fangs.

"Perfect timing, Dumbass. You are the final piece to close this show." Bai Yu said as he maneuvered airborne, and dropped something in the lake.

[First Tier Talisman: Thunder Wave]

"Screech!!!!" Both the mature and the almost mature Red Python roared in pain as their movements were paralyzed.

"Water Conducts Electricity. It's Basic Science." Bai Yu says as he quickly dodges the final move from the protagonist.

Xiao Tian had been waiting for this moment, the moment when all the Red Python were unable to move and gathered in a single place. And now, was the time to close the curtain on this performance.

Xiao Tain willed his Heaven and Earth Flame to gather in his plan as he launched his strongest attack.

[Heaven Burning Flame]

*Boom* *Boom*

A huge explosion sounded throughout the lake, some parts of the lake even directly evaporated due to the heat. Soon, the smoke cleared, showing the horrendous condition of the several Red pythons.

"Heh." Looking at the destruction caused by the Abnormal flames, Bai Yu now knows the culprit for the destruction of the cave.

-*-*-*-*-*-

"I think it is finally over," I said as I watched the gigantic python collapse. Xiao Tian also seemed to have gotten exhausted as he knelt down to recover for a bit.

"We did it." Xiao Tian said smiling at our victory.

"Yeah. Let me double-tap it just for precaution." I say as I walk toward the charred corpse of a mature red python. Its corpse looked severely damaged as most of its scale seemed to have been torn off.

I was just going to double-tap it when once again the Red Python rose. Its eyes were scarlet and full of rage and hatred, and its gaping wound also slowly closed.

"Berserk State! Fudge!" I cursed.

Berserk state. It was the second state of boss monsters, they received an all-around buff.

But this was not a video game so why did it suddenly enter the second mode in the fight...Wait this world is based on a game...

"Chocolate chips! Vanilla Cookie! Fudge!" I cursed once again as I watched the powered-up snake starting to rush at me with speed unfitting of its size.

[Shadowless Movement Art]

I quickly dodged the incoming headbutt but it followed me throughout the lake. I swung my sword and launched several attacks but the more I hit it the more rage-filled it got.

It still rushed towards me and finally cornered me towards another group of pythons. The scarlet pupil of the Red Python shone with rage as it opened and lunged at me as fast as lightning.

"Dodge!" Xiao Tian shouted in this situation, clearly too fatigued to launch another attack.

In this dangerous situation, I urged insight and movement art to the extreme.

The entwined perception of the snake's movement flashed in my mind, as I urged shadowless movement art to the extreme.

As if the world suddenly stopped, I felt a mysterious force on my body. The previous shackles broke and I vanished without a single trace of the shadow, appeared behind the Red python, and put all my qi in a single sword.

[Thirteen sword wave: Final form, Dead Calm]

The long sword flicked a sharp electric light sword qi in mid-air, which tore through the air and passed through the neck of the berserk python who hadn't recovered from the situation yet.

The stream of hot blood spilled all over the sky and dyed the surrounding water red.

"Huhuhu." I breathed heavily as I popped a Qi-replenishing pill into my mouth.
