"Where is the leader?" a man in black asked, frowning.

When they realized that Jiang was nowhere to be seen, they began to panic.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a black sword beam struck like lightning, slicing through the throat of the man in black.

“Uh…” The man in black’s eyes suddenly bulged, his throat bobbed, and he made a muffled sound.

His head then slumped down, and he died on the spot.

"Who is it!" The other three men in black had extremely grim expressions.

"Whoosh—"

A black light flashed, and Jiang Wang descended from the sky, landing on the ground.

"Young Master!" The men in black bowed respectfully.

The person who arrived was none other than Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang glanced indifferently at the men in black and asked, "Where is your leader?"

"Reporting to the young master, our leader is seriously injured and is recuperating in the canyon ahead," one of the men in black explained.

"Oh? Where is he?" Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow.

"On the southwest side of the canyon, there is a narrow ravine. I will take you there!"

Then, two men in black led the way, speeding towards the southwest of the canyon with Jiang Wang.

Soon after, the mountain hollow on the southwest side of the canyon came into Jiang Wang's view.

There were piles of bones there, clearly indicating that a great battle had taken place.

Jiang Wang stared intently and was shocked to see a giant python's corpse lying among the mountain of bones.

The giant python was enormous, its entire body covered in dark gold scales, emanating an extremely sharp and chilling aura.

"This...it's actually a level six ferocious beast!" Jiang Wang was extremely shocked, never expecting to encounter such a terrifying creature here!

"Gulp~~" Jiang Wang swallowed hard, turned to look at the man in black beside him, and said, "Let's leave quickly. It's best not to provoke it at this time."

The man in black nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

The two of them supported each other and slowly walked towards the mountain stream, not daring to approach the giant black jade ice crystal python.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Jiang Wang's feet paused for a moment, his eyes fixed on the mountain of ferocious beast corpses, and he asked in confusion, "The essence of the flesh and blood of these ferocious beast corpses was actually devoured by that black jade ice crystal python? How is that possible? It was only just born."

Jiang Wang felt a chill run down his spine. "The appetite of this giant black jade ice crystal python is terrifying!"

"Hiss!"

The giant black jade ice crystal python sensed the presence of Jiang Wang and his companion. Its scarlet snake eyes gleamed with a murderous aura, and at the same time, a powerful oppressive force surged forth, instantly enveloping Jiang Wang and his companion, causing them to tremble.

"Something's not right." The two men in black exchanged a glance, both sensing a dangerous aura.

"Whoosh!" The giant black jade ice crystal python spat out its forked tongue, its thick body soaring into the sky like a dragon, opening its ferocious maw and lunging forward. Its huge tail rose high, like a steel blade, sweeping across with destructive power.

"Run!" the man in black shouted, and took the lead in using his movement technique to rush backward.

At the same time, the other two men in black followed and escorted Jiang Wang to retreat.

However, the Jade Ice Crystal Python was faster and caught up with them in just a few seconds.

"Bang! Bang!" Two muffled sounds rang out, and two men in black were sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Dense tortoise-shell patterns appeared on their bodies, and they quickly withered away, clearly suffering serious injuries.

"Roar!" The giant black jade ice crystal python roared to the sky, and jets of blood gushed out from its gaping maw, filling the air with a nauseating stench of blood.

Jiang Wang's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression turned pale. "Damn beast, do you really think I'm a pushover?"

"Roar!" The giant black jade ice crystal python charged again, spitting out a huge poison ball. The venom contained a terrifying toxin, and wherever it passed, the void shattered and annihilated, as if it could not withstand the terrible poison.

"Hmph!" Jiang Wang snorted coldly, waved his right hand, summoned his martial soul, and activated the martial skill "Soul Severing Slash", carrying domineering purple lightning power, and slashed at the giant black jade ice crystal python.

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar, the poisonous sphere exploded, creating massive ripples that swept in all directions.

Jiang Wang was blasted away, spitting out blood.

Although the poisonous orb was blocked, it still left behind a lot of venom, corroding his body and causing him great pain.

"Roar!" The giant black jade ice crystal python roared angrily and charged at Jiang Wang again.

"Run!" Jiang Wang gritted his teeth, used a secret technique, and disappeared from the spot in a flash of light.

"Huh?" The giant python of black jade ice crystal was taken aback. It had clearly locked onto its prey, so why had the prey disappeared into thin air?

"Young Master!" The expressions of the two men in black beside Jiang Wang changed drastically.

"call out!"

Just then, a purple light pierced through and punched through Jiang Wang's shoulder, causing him to bleed profusely.

"Ah!" Jiang Wang screamed in agony as his entire arm turned to charcoal, and intense pain spread throughout his body.

At this moment, Jiang Wang finally saw the attacker clearly; it was a young man!

This young man was handsome, tall, and had an exceptional temperament. In particular, his deep, dark eyes were mesmerizing, as if one had fallen into a demonic abyss.

"Who are you?" Jiang Wang asked Xiao Lin, his face pale, clutching his injured shoulder. His tone was icy.

"Is it any of your business?" Xiao Lin shrugged, looking nonchalant, as if he didn't care about Jiang Wang at all.

"Bastard!" Jiang Wang was furious. He was the young patriarch of the Jiang family. When had he ever been so contemptuous?

"Buzz~"

Jiang Wang shook his arms, and a surge of powerful Yuan energy erupted, condensing behind him into a dark gray Yuan spirit several meters tall.

"A martial artist at the peak of the Yuan Dan realm?" A smile curved Xiao Lin's lips.

Jiang Wang's cultivation level is indeed very strong; he is only half a step away from reaching the Yuan King realm.

"You brat, are you looking for death?" Jiang Wang roared and charged forward.

"Sizzle~~~"

In an instant, Jiang Wang flicked his wrist, and a black longsword appeared in his palm, its blade radiating a chilling killing intent.

"A seventh-rank Yuan soldier?" Xiao Lin narrowed his eyes, a playful look on his face.

"Die!" Jiang Wang roared, wielding his long sword and slashing down with astonishing force, intending to cut Xiao Lin in two with a single blow.

"Boom!" Just then, the giant black jade ice crystal python swooped down, its huge head smashing towards Jiang Wang like an iron hammer.

Jiang Wang immediately stopped his attack and quickly parried with his sword.

"Clang!"

Sparks flew, swords clashed, and the resulting shockwave caused Jiang Wang's tiger's mouth to split open, and blood gushed out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Lin used the Nine Steps of Horizontal Movement to instantly move several meters away.

Although Jiang Wang's strength is much greater than Su Kun's, it is far from enough to threaten Xiao Lin.
