She wanted to go forward to help, but her whole body was sore and weak, and she couldn't muster any strength. She knew this was because she had been poisoned by the giant python's strange venom. She was both ashamed and angry, and could only watch Zu An's figure with worry.
At this moment, the giant python was rolling around in the water, clearly in great pain and anger because it was blind.
Zuan then took the opportunity to charge at its belly with his sword. As the saying goes, strike the snake at its seven-inch mark. No matter how powerful this snake is, it won't survive if it is stabbed in the seven-inch mark by the Tai'a sword.
Just as he was halfway there, his heart skipped a beat. He had subconsciously used Sunflower Illusion again, but his body had already regained its masculine strength, so his blood and qi suddenly surged, and his body stopped for a moment.
In that instant, the python's tail swept across. For snakes, they don't really need eyes to perceive everything around them.
Zu An hurriedly held his sword horizontally in front of him, but felt a tremendous force coming from him, and he was sent flying backward, crashing dozens of feet away.
"Aunt, how are you?" Qiao Xueying asked with a worried expression. Such immense force would be difficult for even a fourth-grade cultivator to withstand, let alone a third-grade martial artist. After all, it is common knowledge that ferocious beasts of the same level are stronger than human cultivators.
The imagined scenario of broken bones did not occur. Instead, Zuan got up from the ground and acted as if nothing had happened.
Not only was Qiao Xueying puzzled, but Zu An himself was also puzzled. He knew that he should have no chance of withstanding such force, but he found that his strength was several times greater than before.
He hurriedly checked the magic arrays inside his body and was astonished to find that the seventh and eighth magic arrays were completely filled!
You should know that he had only filled the first six magic arrays before. Each subsequent magic array required more Yuan Qi Fruits.
The sixth magic circle requires 610 Qi Fruits, the seventh requires 987, and the eighth requires a whopping 1597!
Filling those magic arrays was exhausting, and the seventh magic array alone required almost as much energy fruit as the previous six magic arrays combined, not to mention the eighth magic array.
When was it filled?
He recalled that he had been beaten to the brink of death countless times by Mi Li in order to save Qiao Xueying, and he had survived by relying on the "Rich Woman's Happy Ball". The injuries he suffered were more severe than ever before.
He couldn't even remember how many times he had risen from the brink of death. It must have been during those repeated severe injuries that he had mastered the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" technique of leveling up by enduring beatings.
That woman, Mi Li, is incredibly ruthless!
I still feel lingering fear when I think about it now. Luckily, I had the "Rich Woman's Happy Ball" to keep me going. It's just a pity that I used it up the last time. What should I do if I encounter this situation again?
At this moment, the giant red-scaled python pounced in his direction again. This time, Zu'an did not use "Sunflower Illusion" again, but instead relied solely on his physical strength to leap to the side and dodge.
The speed was so fast that he was puzzled. Even though he was now at the third rank and eighth level, this speed and power were too exaggerated. It was almost comparable to the fifth rank. What was going on?
"Fool, the Primordial Chaos Scripture can not only accelerate your recovery, but also temper your body and give you a huge boost in power. You have already been reborn, and your strength and speed are far superior to ordinary people."
"In addition to the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture you cultivate, the combined effects of these two divine skills mean that your current strength and speed cannot be measured by ordinary standards. It is now roughly equivalent to the peak of the fourth rank, and you may not be at a disadvantage compared to some weak fifth-rank individuals."
Mi Li's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"You're awake?" Zu'an was both surprised and delighted. The other party's cultivation was extremely high, so her judgment was naturally correct.
Previously, he had to enter a severely injured state to trigger the berserk function of the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra in order to barely reach this level, but now he can easily reach it in a normal state.
"Hmph, I can't sleep when I sense you're in danger. I don't want to die without knowing why. I thought you'd encountered some ancient monster, but it turns out a trashy little snake did all that to you." Mi Li's voice was full of disdain.
"A little snake?" Looking at the giant python's waist, which was thicker than a water bucket, not far away, Zu An was speechless. But then she thought that a fourth-grade ferocious beast was indeed not something she, at her level, would take seriously.
Just then, the Crimson Scale Python pounced again. Zuan had gradually adapted to the strength of his body and seized an opportunity to summon the Death Dagger and plunge it into the python.
A series of black runes scattered from the wound, and then the crimson-scaled python trembled and fell heavily to the ground, lifeless.
"Your dagger is quite interesting," Mi Li exclaimed. "I'll take a closer look when I have time. I'm going to sleep now. I was actually woken up by this little thing. Humph!"
The sound quickly faded away. Zuan thought to himself, "This woman is really elusive. Sometimes I don't know if she's really asleep or just pretending."
However, he had no time to worry about that now and hurriedly rushed to where Qiao Xueying was.
When Qiao Xueying saw that he had killed the giant python, she breathed a sigh of relief and could no longer hold on. She collapsed softly, and he caught her.
"Clothes...put them on for me." Whether it was shyness or something else, Qiao Xueying's skin, which was previously as white as mutton fat, was now flushed red, as if it had been smeared with rose juice.
