Chapter 40 - Exterminate Fire Cloud Python

"Hiss~"

The Fire Cloud Python writhed in pain, its expression clearly showing agony and rage. Its tongue flickered as it suddenly soared into the sky.

"Snap!"

The massive body, stretching over dozens of meters, swung with surprising agility and speed, causing a sonic boom in the air.

"Not good!"

Su Shi'er immediately felt a powerful gust approaching, leaving him with no leverage. In this critical moment, he quickly activated the Turtle Pattern Shield and the Ice Shield.

The two defensive Ritual Artifacts, one in front and one behind, shimmered with a magical glow, enveloping his body.

The next second, the enormous body came crashing down.

"Bang!"

After a muffled thud, Su Shi'er felt as if he had been hit by a mountain while running at full speed. His body was uncontrollably thrown backward.

His internal organs screamed in pain, and he coughed up blood profusely.

As he hit the ground, Su Shi'er gritted his teeth and used the Wind Summoning technique in combination with the Shadowless Phantom Steps to quickly distance himself from the giant python.

When he focused his gaze, his heart ached.

His Top Grade Ritual Artifact, the Turtle Pattern Shield, had shattered completely under that strike, turning into countless fragments, devoid of any magical glow.

Fortunately, the Ice Shield given by Shen Miaoyin, though dim, remained unscathed, perhaps due to the material.

This allowed Su Shi'er to breathe a sigh of relief. Preserving this artifact meant that after refining it with the mysterious Pill Furnace, it could at least become another Top Grade defensive artifact.

He quickly grabbed the Ice Shield and, using the Shadowless Phantom Steps in combination with Wind Summoning, began to swiftly circle the giant python, occasionally throwing an attack Talisman. This time, he dared not linger in mid-air.

Before coming, he had prepared a large number of Talismans. But using them like this, the Talismans on him were rapidly depleting.

In just a quarter of an hour, he had thrown out at least three to five hundred attack Talismans.

Towards the end, only some Low Grade Level 1 or even semi-finished Talismans were left.

However, Su Shi'er didn't mind. To him, as long as they could be used and cause even a little damage to the Fire Cloud Python, disrupting its recovery was enough.

Seeing that only the last handful of Talismans remained, Su Shi'er quickly looked towards Shen Miaoyin in the distance.

"Hey! Are you done yet? I can't hold on much longer!"

"Lead it over here!"

At this moment, Shen Miaoyin's face was as pale as paper, her forehead beaded with sweat.

Hearing Su Shi'er's voice, she gritted her teeth, took out the last azure Recovery Pill from her body, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Then, she condensed all her True Essence into a Seal, placing it on the Ice Sword.

Five Flying Swords soared into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.

"Alright! I'm coming over!"

Su Shi'er breathed a slight sigh of relief, hesitating not a moment, and quickly ran to Shen Miaoyin's side.

Behind him, the Fire Cloud Python pursued relentlessly, but just as it was about to approach the sword formation, it suddenly halted. Its eyes, as large as copper bells, showed a hint of dread.

"Hmm? This creature isn't falling for it? What now?" Su Shi'er frowned and quickly asked.

"How much True Essence do you have left in your body? Transfer it all to me!" Shen Miaoyin called out coldly.

To her, the sword formation was complete, and whether the Fire Cloud Python came over or not was irrelevant.

The problem was, she currently had no True Essence left in her body, and the pills used to recover True Essence were all consumed.

Without magic power, she couldn't activate the sword formation.

Seeing Su Shi'er hesitate, she urged, "Hurry up! It'll be too late soon!"

"Uh... How do I do that?" Su Shi'er asked awkwardly.

He knew he didn't have many choices now. But transferring True Essence to someone else was something he had never done before.

"Place your hand on my back, and leave everything else to me," Shen Miaoyin quickly instructed, realizing that the young man before her was still a novice in cultivation.

Following her instructions, Su Shi'er placed his hand on Shen Miaoyin's back. Though separated by a layer of clothing, the soft touch and faint warmth gave him an unprecedented experience.

However, this feeling lasted only a moment.

The next second, a powerful suction came from his palm, causing the True Essence in his body to surge uncontrollably, being drawn away by Shen Miaoyin.

"Unexpectedly, for someone at the fourth level of the Qi Refining stage, you have quite a lot of True Essence," Shen Miaoyin remarked with raised eyebrows, somewhat surprised by the influx of True Essence from Su Shi'er.

In her perception, Su Shi'er's True Essence was at least a third more abundant than other disciples of the same Realm.

Mixed Spirit Root, though it made cultivation excruciatingly slow, wasn't without its benefits. It contained various Spirit Roots, naturally making one's cultivation thicker than others of the same Realm after advancement.

Su Shi'er, having never discussed this with others, was unaware. Now, he could only wear a bitter expression, "Leave some for me, or I'll be drained dry by you!"

Shen Miaoyin didn't reply. With the added True Essence, she began forming seals with her hands.

The Seal shot into the sky, and in the clouds, the five Ice Swords reappeared, exhaling cold air.

Amidst the surging cold, a massive sword shadow reemerged.

"Ice Sword Formation! Slash!"

Shen Miaoyin shouted sternly, and the enormous sword shadow, emanating a terrifying chill, descended from the sky, slashing towards the giant python not far away.

Unwilling to be outdone, the Fire Cloud Python reared half its body, spewing a burst of fire to withstand the sword shadow.

Though it had only simple intelligence, it knew this was a life-and-death moment. It mobilized all its demon essence, contending with the sword shadow in the air, neither side gaining the upper hand.

At this moment, Shen Miaoyin groaned, blood trickling from her lips, her aura becoming increasingly chaotic.

Already injured, forcing the sword formation with her Qi Refining stage cultivation took a significant toll on her.

"No way! Hold on, you can't fall!"

Noticing Shen Miaoyin's condition, Su Shi'er's heart pounded with anxiety.

"Screw it!"

Gritting his teeth, he focused on the Fire Cloud Python, his eyes narrowing as he flipped his hand, throwing out seven Soul-Breaking Nails.

Along with them went all his remaining attack Talismans.

At this moment, the Fire Cloud Python was fully focused on resisting the sword formation's power, having no time to care about Su Shi'er's attack. It didn't believe that seven small iron nails could harm it.

"Thud!"

With a muffled sound, the Soul-Breaking Nails, along with the attack Talismans, embedded themselves in the Fire Cloud Python's wounds.

The next second, over a hundred attack Talismans detonated simultaneously.

Though they were all defective and of average quality, exploding together within the Fire Cloud Python's wounds was no less than a critical hit!

"Boom! Boom!"

Caught off guard, the Fire Cloud Python's body was blasted, its skin and flesh torn.

Its full-force demon essence was momentarily disrupted.

Seizing the opportunity, the massive sword shadow, with overwhelming might, sliced through its brow.

The nearly hundred-meter-long python was cleaved in two by this strike, dead beyond any doubt.

"Ugh!"

Having done all this, Shen Miaoyin could no longer hold on, spitting out a mouthful of blood and collapsing to the ground.

This battle had left her severely injured. Now... she didn't even have the strength to move.

In the air, the five Flying Swords forming the Formation fell to the ground with a clatter.
