As the two fought to an increasingly close and evenly matched degree, the nine-headed lion kept a close eye on the Devouring Python's movements without making a sound.
After an unknown amount of time, the Devouring Python finally showed signs of fatigue, and Xiao Feng seized the opportunity to punch it in the face.
Subsequently, Xiao Feng directly engaged the Devouring Python in close combat.
Xiao Feng did not use the Star Absorbing Technique again, which he had used before.
The demonic power within the Devouring Python's body was indeed poisonous.
Xiao Feng absorbed less, so it had little effect on the Devouring Python.
If Xiao Feng absorbs too much, it can easily cause his internal energy to become chaotic.
Xiao Feng simply unleashed a barrage of punches, relying solely on close-quarters combat skills to utterly defeat the Devouring Python.
The Devouring Python was a powerful demon; how could it tolerate being so humiliated by a seemingly weak human?
He flew into a rage, transformed into his original form, and unleashed all his demonic power.
Xiao Feng clearly saw that, in the place the nine-headed lion had told him about before reaching the throat of the Devouring Python, there was indeed a shimmering scale that looked different from the other scales.
That place must be the Devouring Python's Achilles' heel.
Before Xiao Feng could even give the Nine-Headed Lion a look, the Nine-Headed Lion moved with the speed of a yellow lightning bolt, delivering a punch directly to its Achilles' heel.
Since the Nine-Headed Lion had not attacked the Devouring Python since Xiao Feng started fighting it, the Devouring Python had not had time to guard against the Nine-Headed Lion's actions.
Despite noticing the nine-headed lion's extraordinary speed and the direction of its attack, the Devouring Python tried to conceal its true nature.
However, the Nine-Headed Lion's speed increased by more than double after its breakthrough. The Devouring Python didn't even have time to retract its reverse scale before being punched in the throat by the Nine-Headed Lion.
It's unknown how many of its scales were shattered by the power of the nine-headed lion.
The Devouring Python was severely injured by the Nine-Headed Lion.
After its massive body crashed to the ground, it immediately spat out a mouthful of toxic blood.
"Nine-headed! We are both demons, how can you help the human race?" The Devouring Python glared angrily at the nine-headed lion.
"Have you forgotten that you ambushed me? I hit you not only to help my brother, but also because we have a grudge against each other."
The nine-headed lion looked at the Devouring Python with amusement, wondering where it got the confidence to dare to go head-to-head with it.
"But isn't that our great demon tradition? Even if it wasn't you who broke through, but another great demon, they would still face the same treatment!"
"Everyone was living in peace, each occupying their own territory. Who would want a new boss suddenly appearing above them? Besides, I wasn't the only one who attacked you back then!"
"Why don't you go and cause trouble for other powerful demons? Why do you have to come looking for me? You're clearly doing this for this human. As a powerful demon, you're actually attacking your own kind for the sake of a human. Do you have any conscience?"
The Devouring Python, filled with righteous indignation, questioned the Nine-Headed Lion.
Xiao Feng also turned to look at the Nine-Headed Lion, fearing that the Nine-Headed Lion might let this guy go because of the Devouring Python's words.
However, when the nine-headed lion met Xiao Feng's gaze, a look of doubt appeared in its eyes: "Aren't you going to put it away? It's already seriously injured. Do you want to forcibly take it as a contracted demon beast? Or you can kill it with ease."
Xiao Feng then realized what was happening, stepped forward, and prepared to subdue the Devouring Python.
The Devouring Python suddenly spoke up: "It's not fair for the two of you to fight me alone. If you're so capable, let's fight one-on-one. I can take on both of you at once!"
Xiao Feng looked at the Devouring Python speechlessly, thinking that this great demon might not be very smart.
"You are already a defeated opponent of ours. Why should we give you a chance to recover and make you fight us one-on-one?"
After Xiao Feng walked up to the Devouring Python, he directly moved his spiritual energy palm and slapped it.
The giant face of the Devouring Python was slapped to the side by Xiao Feng's palm. When it turned its head back, its eyes, as big as lanterns, stared at Xiao Feng in shock.
"How dare you hit me!" The Devouring Python was furious.
Xiao Feng retorted, speechless, "So what if I hit you? It's not like it's the first time I've hit you!"
The Devouring Python tried to move, but Xiao Feng's released spiritual power bound it tightly, forcing it to shrink its size.
The Devouring Python was in pain all over from being bound by the ropes that Xiao Feng kept tightening, so it had no choice but to obediently transform back into its half-human, half-snake form.
"Nine Heads, if you save me now, it's not too late. Otherwise, if the other great demons find out that you actually helped the human race and attacked the demon race, they will not let you off!"
The Devouring Python still wants to use this to threaten the Nine-Headed Lion.
"Then let them come over. I'd like to see which of those great demons can stand against me now."
After the breakthrough, the nine-headed lion became much more arrogant, even its words were domineering.
The Devouring Python tried to struggle in its death throes, but Xiao Feng simply put it into his system space.
Xiao Feng hadn't forgotten that he came to cause trouble for the Devouring Python because he wanted to obtain the Bright Jade.
Since the Devouring Python has already been captured, he can ask it about Mingyu later.
The nine-headed lion saw that Xiao Feng had put away the Devouring Python, but did not stop him, intending to see what Xiao Feng would do next.
"Its cave is actually beneath a cold pool. Shall we go and see if there are any treasures inside?" Xiao Feng invited the Nine-Headed Lion.
The nine-headed lion's eyes lit up, and it immediately felt that Xiao Feng was just like its temperament.
"I thought you would just capture the Devouring Python and leave," the Nine-Headed Lion teased as he approached Xiao Feng.
"How could that be? It was a powerful demon, after all. There must be many treasures in its cave. We've defeated it, how can we not loot some spoils?"
Xiao Feng's words made perfect sense, and the Nine-Headed Lion nodded frantically in agreement.
"Think about it again. If we capture the Devouring Python, other powerful demons will definitely come and plunder its territory. We can't let others benefit from our efforts; we can't leave a single piece for other powerful demons!"
Seeing Xiao Feng's stingy appearance, the Nine-Headed Lion was even happier and immediately nodded in approval of Xiao Feng's approach.
The two creatures enveloped themselves with their own power and then jumped into the icy pool, quickly finding the underwater cave where the Devouring Python had been hiding.
After entering the cave, the two discovered a formation that prevented the water from the cold pool from entering the cave.
As soon as the two figures disappeared into the icy pool, several powerful demons who had caught wind of their presence immediately appeared at the edge of the pool.
They sensed the fluctuations from the battle between the Devouring Python and another powerful being, as well as the lingering aura of the Nine-Headed Lion.
Several powerful demons hesitated.
They knew there must be treasure here with the Devouring Python.
However, they did not see Xiao Feng and the Nine-Headed Lion leave, which means that the two of them most likely went to plunder the treasures of the Devouring Python.
If they stay here to pick up bargains, will they offend those two evil spirits?
