The Sword of Power

Chapter 18 - Twin Wing Python

After a long walk in the Snake Forest, the forest became increasingly dark. Yang Ye measured his surroundings carefully, and he noticed his surroundings were covered by towering ancient trees that towered straight into the sky and his branches and leaves were tightly intertwined. Some strands of sunlight are only able to pass through some places that are not so close to the foliage.

During this period of time, some small snakes sometimes launch surprise attacks against them from the treetops. However, this little snake did not cause them any problems, and their group handled the small snake very easily.

Yang Ye did not fight during this period of time because Qing Hong was constantly following by his side. Once a snake suddenly launched an attack, he would handle it himself, and Yang Ye had no chance to move at all. It was precisely because of this that Yang Ye was constantly ridiculed by Xiu Yuan during this period of time.

Yang Ye followed this group for several hours, and he gained a rough understanding of the strength of independent cultivators and disciples of a sect. When an independent cultivator was compared to a disciple from a sect, the gap was slightly large. Since the disciples of the sect had cultivation resources such as techniques and treasures, whereas, if the four independent cultivators before him were taken as an example, then other than Xiu Yuan weapons were low-grade Yellow Rank swords, the, the other weapons are not judged at all. Moreover, the four of them did not have the proper techniques, and they mostly relied on violence to fight.

As for Xiu Yuan's humiliation and ridicule, Yang Ye completely ignored him. Although Xiu Yuan was ranked ninth in the Mortal Realm, Yang Ye did not take him seriously at all. According to Yang Ye's estimation, even Duan Jun who had been crippled would be able to deal with Xiu Yuan.

The gap between sect disciples and independent cultivators was truly huge!

As they went deeper into the Snake Forest, the number of snakes residing in the trees grew in number. In the end, they were attacked by all kinds of snakes with a distance of every 10 meters more that they traveled.

Shit ~

Qing Hong held the dagger in his hand as the dagger flashed over from above Yang Ye, and a small snake instantly split into two and fell to the ground.

After he killed the little snake with a single strike, Qing Hong patted Yang Ye on the head and said, "Didn't I say that you should always follow behind me? Although the cultivation of this small snake is not high, it contains venomous toxins, and it will be very troublesome if you are bitten by it. ”

Yang Ye rubbed his nose when he heard this, and he was a little amused. Because even if he stood there and let the little snakes bite him, they probably wouldn't be able to bite his skin. However, Yang Ye was still touched by the woman's attention. They had only met by chance, yet this woman before him had taken care of him on many occasions, and this caused his heart to feel a little warm.

Bang out!

Right at this moment, a huge python that had two wings on its back suddenly descended not too far away from them. The body of the python was even larger than the Colossal Python King Yang Ye had killed that day, and his entire body was pitch-black while his body was covered in scales that looked like Black Iron. Moreover, the python had a pair of pitch-black wings.

This Python did not attack Yang Ye and the others. It only blocked their path, and its huge eyes stared at them while emitting a ferocious light.

It was an eight-ranked Twin Wing Python, watch out for everything! When he saw this Twin Wing Python suddenly appear, the Profound Energy within Man'zi's body surged, and his expression became solemn while he immediately warned the others. At the same time, Xiu Yuan and Xiao Hei hurriedly moved several meters towards both sides, and they stared at the Twin Wing Python warily.

Qing Hong who was standing by Yang Ye's side hurriedly pulled a long bow from his shoulder and mounted an arrow before pointing it at the Twin Wing Python in the distance.

"Man'zi, kill him. The inner core of this Twin Wing Python could be sold for at least 5,000 gold coins. Moreover, his skin could definitely be sold for at least 1,000 gold coins. What do you think?" Meanwhile, Xiu Yuan's eyes flickered with greed as he asked in a low voice.

Man'zi's eyes shone with a tinge of greed as well when he heard this, and he hesitated for a moment before he nodded and said, “The three of us will attack him together from three directions. Qing Hong, you helped us with your bow and arrow. Attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Man'zi, Xiao Hei, and Xiu Yuan instantly attacked the Twin Wing Python because the lone Darkbeast by itself was their favorite.

Qing Hong who was standing by Yang Ye's side stared fixedly at the Twin Wing Python, yet the arrow in his hand had yet to be released. He's waiting for an opportunity, a deadly opportunity. Otherwise, his arrow would not have been able to break through the Twin Wing Python's defenses.

However, a lone rank eight Darkbeast had appeared before them, and they were tempted by it.

When he saw them attacking, the Twin Wing Python seemed to be a little angry. His jade green eyes emitted a ferocious light while his huge wings suddenly flapped towards the ground. A strong wind instantly gushed out and enveloped the three of them led by Man'zi.

The three of them were startled the moment the storm appeared, and they hurriedly circulated the Profound Energy to their weapons before slashing through the strong gales.

Not too long later, the three of them managed to break through the strong winds and approach the Twin Wing Python. They seemed to be very experienced, and they did not fight him head-on. They were constantly avoiding the tail of the Twin Wing Python and liquid was gushing out from its mouth. Moreover, every time the Twin Wing Python pounced towards the three of them, the arrows carrying Profound Energy would whistle, causing the Twin Wing Python to have no choice but to abandon its attack. For a while, the four of them fought with the Twin Wing Python equally.

As he watched the battle, Yang Ye shook his head in his heart. Their cooperation was not bad at all, but their combat strength was really too weak. The three of them seemed to have occupied a favorable position as they fought the Twin Wing Python while moving around it, but they were simply unable to cause any injuries to it. Moreover, after the Twin Wing Python hit one of them, even if that person did not die, it would still cause heavy injuries!

Moreover, if one of them was injured, the other two would be in danger!

When he had the three as a point of comparison, Yang Ye finally realized how great he could kill a rank six Darkbeast, the Colossal Python King, on that day. Because he was going to use his fists to break through Darkbeast's defenses!

This is not gonna work. This Twin Wing Python's defense was truly too formidable. The three of us simply cannot defeat him! As he stared at the sparks caused by his sword hitting the Twin Wing Python, Xiu Yuan's eyes flickered as he pondered in his heart.

It was not only Xiu Yuan who had such thoughts at the moment, and even Man'zi and Xiao Hei had similar thoughts. At first, they thought that with their strength, the four of them would be able to deal with this eighth rank Darkbeast, but now, they realized that the four of them were completely incapable of breaking through its defenses.

It doesn't seem easy being a mercenary! Yang Ye spoke in a low voice as he watched them fight fiercely. Just as he was intending to go and lend a hand, an unexpected event happened all of a sudden. Xiu Yuan who was originally in charge of the rights had taken the opportunity given to him when the Twin Wing Python attacked Man'zi, and he suddenly retreated quickly. Xiu Yuan retreated very quickly, and he would leave the battlefield in an instant. After which, he turned around and disappeared within the forest with a few jumps.

“How shameless!” The sudden departure of Xiu Yuan caused the other three to be instantly exasperated. Qing Hong's pretty face reddened in anger, and she intended to shoot an arrow at Xiu Yuan. However, when he realized that the Twin Wing Python was attacking Man'zi ferociously, he could only immediately abandon this thought and quickly unleash many arrows onto the Twin Wing Python.

As he watched Xiu Yuan escape, Yang Ye shook his head in secret. He had originally thought that Xiu Yuan was only a little arrogant, yet he never expected that Xiu Yuan was cowardly and afraid of death until he directly abandoned his friends and fled for his life!

With the sudden departure of Xiu Yuan and the loss of someone clamping the Twin Wing Python from the right, the pressure that Man'zi and Xiao Hei felt instantly increased by several folds. However, the two of them did not choose to retreat because once one of them retreated, the last remaining person would definitely die!

"Yang Ye, hurry up and go." Meanwhile, Qing Hong turned around to roar loudly at Yang Ye. After which, he turned around and pulled his bowstring before releasing many arrows into the Twin Wing Python. He definitely could not leave because once he did, then Man'zi and Xiao Hei would definitely perish without him pinning down the Twin Wing Python from afar.

Yang Ye was very warm when he heard Qing Hong because even at this moment, the woman before him was still thinking about him. Yang Ye clenched the Black Iron Sword in his hand, and just as he was about to make a move, another unexpected event occurred. One of the arrows that Qing Hong shot whistled through the air and directly entered the right eye of the Twin Wing Python.

Hissing!

The intense pain he had suffered because of this caused the Twin Wing Python to instantly go berserk, and its massive body swirled wildly on the ground. He stopped paying attention to Man'zi and Xiao Hei, and his huge wings suddenly flapped and caused a huge storm to appear as he pounced towards Qing Hong who was still putting arrows on his bowstring.

When he realized the Twin Wing Python was directly pouncing towards him, Qing Hong's face immediately turned deathly pale. The Twin Wing Python was fast like a bolt of lightning, and practically arrived before Qing Hong in less than a few breaths of time. After which, his huge mouth opened wide before his bloody mouth bit down towards Qing Hong.

"No!!" When he saw the Twin Wing Python's mouth bite towards Qing Hong, Man'zi was completely horrified, and he roared hysterically in anger while charging furiously at the Twin Wing Python.
