Scorching energy beams, sharp wind blades, massive rocks… all sorts of supernatural attacks, carrying the team members' last hope, slammed down on the giant python. However, at the last moment, the python suddenly twisted to the side, and the attacks merely grazed its scales, leaving several charred marks on the hard scales.
"roar--!"
The giant python felt pain, but it wasn't fatally injured; instead, it was enraged beyond measure. It let out a deafening roar, its massive body thrashing violently, causing the earth to shake, sand and stones to fly, and everything around it to tremble in its fury.
"Get out of the way!"
Mu Xue's face was deathly pale, and she shouted at the top of her lungs, but she stood motionless in place, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ning Yu's back, praying for a miracle to happen.
However, the team members were exhausted and their superpowers were almost depleted. They could only watch helplessly as the giant python opened its blood-red maw, a foul stench assaulting their senses. Its sharp fangs seemed ready to tear them to shreds at any moment.
Despair, like an invisible giant net, enveloped everyone.
"Sister Xue...we..."
One of the team members leaned helplessly against the dilapidated wall, a bitter smile on his face. He knew it was all over.
Just then, a figure flashed by like lightning, blocking the giant python and the team members.
Ning Yu!
The long sword in his hand gleamed with a blinding cold light in the sunlight.
The giant python seemed to be intimidated by Ning Yu's courage. It paused slightly, raised its huge head high, and flicked its scarlet tongue, emitting a chilling hiss.
Ning Yu showed no fear. He took a deep breath, gripped his long sword tightly, and prepared to face this final battle.
However, just as he was about to activate his internal energy, he found that his dantian was completely empty, without the slightest energy fluctuation.
My superpowers have dried up...
"Ning Yu, watch out!"
Mu Xue's terrified voice rang out, but her words could not stop the tragedy that was about to unfold.
A resolute glint flashed in Ning Yu's eyes. He abandoned activating his supernatural abilities and instead concentrated all his strength on the long sword in his hand, preparing to use this last weapon to fight for a chance of survival for his teammates behind him.
"bring it on!"
Ning Yu roared and slashed his longsword down fiercely towards the giant python's gaping maw...
"No……"
Ning Yu's longsword struck the giant python's fangs weakly, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound, but it did nothing to stop the python. Its foul-smelling maw, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression, descended upon Ning Yu.
"Ning Yu!" Mu Xue's eyes widened in horror as she rushed to Ning Yu's side, standing shoulder to shoulder with him. Fear, like a venomous snake, coiled tightly around her heart, but she did not retreat an inch. Even if she died, she would die with Ning Yu.
"Sister Xue..." The other team members, their eyes red with tears, gathered around. They were prepared to fight to the death. Knowing it was impossible, yet still doing it, was the last vestige of defiance before the light of hope was completely extinguished.
"Prepare for battle!" Ning Yu roared hoarsely, attempting to once again summon his supernatural power. However, his dantian was utterly empty, only waves of despairing weakness washing over him. His supernatural power had truly been exhausted...
"Roar—!" The giant python seemed to be enraged by the resistance of these ants in front of it. It let out a deafening roar, and its huge body leaped high into the air, casting a shadow that blotted out the sky and engulfing everyone.
The shadow of death loomed over everyone.
Ning Yu closed her eyes in despair, countless images flashing through her mind. There were heartwarming moments before she transmigrated, thrilling scenes of fighting alongside Mu Xue, and the familiar faces of her teammates…
However, the expected excruciating pain did not come.
Ning Yu opened his eyes in confusion, only to see the giant python's fangs almost touching his nose. Thick saliva dripped down, emitting a nauseating, fishy stench.
"What's going on?" Ning Yu was filled with doubt, but he quickly realized that now was not the time to think about these things. He tried to swing the long sword in his hand again, but found that he didn't even have the strength to lift his arm.
Just then, Ning Yu suddenly sensed a faint energy fluctuation deep within his seemingly lifeless dantian…
“This feeling is…” Ning Yu suddenly looked up at the giant python that was so close to him, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes, “Could it be…”
The giant python's gaping maw was almost within reach, its stench overwhelming them, as if it would devour Ning Yu and Mu Xue at any moment. In that critical instant, Ning Yu felt the faint energy fluctuations deep within his dantian suddenly intensify, as if responding to his expectations, or bursting forth with its final light in a death struggle.
"Sister Xue, grab me!" Ning Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light, his tone firm and unquestionable.
"Ning Yu, you..." Mu Xue was stunned for a moment, and before she could understand what was happening, Ning Yu grabbed her arm.
Without a second thought, Ning Yu channeled the faint yet unfamiliar energy within his body and forcefully pushed Mu Xue aside. Mu Xue felt an immense force strike her, and her body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing heavily to the ground several meters away.
"Ning Yu—!" Mu Xue exclaimed in alarm, but could only watch helplessly as the giant python's fangs snapped down toward Ning Yu, the enormous shadow instantly engulfing him completely.
"boom--!"
The earth shook violently, and dust billowed everywhere. The giant python's massive body slammed heavily onto the ground, whipping up a gust of wind that sent everything around it tumbling about.
