Ning Yu pushed his new power to its limit, and golden light erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption, enveloping his entire being. He was like a war god descending from the heavens, charging towards the giant python with unstoppable momentum. His speed was too fast for the naked eye to follow, leaving only a golden afterimage.
As the giant python saw Ning Yu charging towards it, a resolute glint flashed in its enormous eyes. It let out a deafening roar, its massive body thrashing violently, creating a gust of wind. Suddenly, it coiled up, like an ancient beast gathering its strength. The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and a suffocating sense of oppression spread out.
The next second, the giant python's body expanded at an astonishing speed. Its already enormous body swelled to several times its original size, like an inflated balloon, its scales bursting open to reveal the bright red muscle tissue beneath. It opened its blood-red maw, and a strong, pungent stench assaulted the senses, as if it wanted to devour everything in its path.
"Ning Yu, be careful!" Mu Xue, who was watching from a distance, saw the giant python's unusual behavior and her heart jumped into her throat. She cried out in alarm, but her words were quickly drowned out by the gale-force winds brought about by the python's expansion.
Ning Yu seemed oblivious to Mu Xue's warning, charging towards the giant python without hesitation. The golden light in his hand grew ever brighter, as if it would tear the heavens and earth apart. He had made up his mind that no matter the cost, he would end this battle here.
Just as Ning Yu was about to touch the giant python, its eyes, filled with destructive intent, suddenly turned away. With its last ounce of strength, it let out a deafening roar: "You won... but... it..."
Ning Yu showed no hesitation, charging towards the giant python. He knew this was his last chance, and also his most dangerous moment. The python's unusual behavior indicated it would unleash power beyond its limits, but he had nowhere to retreat. Golden light condensed in his hand, transforming into a sharp longsword, its blade crackling with lightning, seemingly containing world-destroying power.
Just then, the giant python's body, swollen to its limit, emitted an incomparably dazzling light, like a star about to explode. Immediately afterwards, a world-destroying energy wave erupted from the python's mouth, sweeping towards Ning Yu with an aura of annihilation.
Wherever the energy wave passed, space twisted violently and the earth cracked, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Ning Yu sensed this world-destroying power, and his expression became more solemn than ever before. He knew that a direct confrontation would be futile. His mind raced, and his hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals. Golden light rapidly created a massive barrier in front of him.
"boom!"
The energy wave struck the barrier with a deafening roar, as if it would tear the entire world apart. The barrier trembled violently, covered with countless cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment. Ning Yu groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, pouring all his power into the barrier in an attempt to withstand this powerful attack.
"Ning Yu..." Mu Xue called out anxiously, trying to rush over, but was blocked by the energy storm in front of her. She could only watch helplessly, praying for a miracle to happen.
The energy waves were impacting more and more fiercely, and the cracks on the barrier were multiplying, on the verge of collapsing. Just at this critical moment, Ning Yu suddenly looked up, a resolute glint in his eyes.
He growled in a low voice, "Break for me!"
The energy waves surged like a tsunami, one after another. The golden barrier in front of Ning Yu trembled violently, like a leaf in a storm, threatening to be torn apart at any moment. The cracks on the barrier multiplied, becoming increasingly dense, spreading like a spiderweb. Blinding light pierced through the cracks, illuminating Ning Yu's pale yet resolute face.
With a crisp "crack!", the barrier finally succumbed to the earth-shattering power and shattered!
The residual force of the energy wave surged towards Ning Yu like a wild horse. He groaned as the powerful force sent him flying, crashing heavily into the ruins.
"Ning Yu!" Mu Xue's heart-wrenching cry came from afar, but she could not get close and could only watch helplessly as Ning Yu was swallowed up by the energy wave.
As the smoke cleared, a huge crater was revealed. Ning Yu lay at the bottom of the crater, covered in blood, his clothes tattered, and the golden longsword in his hand broken. But he was still alive; his chest rose and fell weakly, proving that he still had a breath left.
Seeing its ultimate attack blocked, the giant python roared in fury and charged at Ning Yu once more. It had lost all patience and was determined to crush this tiny human before it.
Ning Yu struggled to stand up, but his body felt like it was falling apart and wouldn't obey him. He closed his eyes in despair, awaiting death.
Just as the giant python's gaping maw was about to devour him, Ning Yu suddenly felt a powerful suction force emanating from its body. He struggled to open his eyes and was horrified to discover a fist-sized mark on the python's scaly chest. This mark flickered with an eerie red light and beat rhythmically like a heart.
“What is that…” Ning Yu’s pupils contracted sharply, a strong sense of unease rising in his heart. He subconsciously reached out, wanting to touch that strange mark.
"Hiss..." The giant python seemed to sense Ning Yu's intention, letting out a sudden roar as its massive body stopped in its tracks. Its cold, serpentine eyes stared intently at Ning Yu, a hint of...fear even flickering within them?
"You..." Ning Yu endured the excruciating pain in his body and tried to ask, but found that he didn't even have the strength to speak.
