Chapter 78

Before Nan Xi could think about it, the giant python made a hissing sound and rushed towards her.

Nan Xi's realm is a little behind, but after so many years of practice, she has made some progress. At least this giant python cannot hurt her for a while.

Of course Qi Qian was not without contribution. After a while, he seemed to have taken a pill that healed his injuries, and then he rushed forward with a sword in hand.

When they all moved up together, they diverted the attention of the Yuanying period python, and the pressure on Nan Xi was greatly reduced.

It also gave Nan Xi some time to take a look at Qi Qian.

No matter what his strength was during the Yuanying period, at least he was in the Yuanying period, plus he also practiced regularly, so at least he looked remarkable.

Nan Xi was too lazy to judge how powerful he was. Right now, she had to kill the giant python and check on Luo Tingyun's injuries, so it was impossible for Nan Xi to do nothing.

Almost at the moment her mind moved, the sword in her hand shone brightly, and the sword intent faintly emerged.

The giant python seemed to sense something, and it swung its huge tail over fiercely, carrying tremendous force, sweeping across the place, leaving a mess.

Nan Xi moved very quickly, and his figure was almost invisible. Only the sharp flash of sword was visible, which was blindingly bright in people's eyes.

The giant python sensed the danger belatedly, but it was too late when it turned its head towards Nan Xi. The sharp and powerful sword pierced through its scales.

The sword was only as long as its scales, but it was filled with sword intent and managed to pierce a wound several feet deep.

The pain pierced into his heart, and the giant python let out another sharp and terrifying hiss.

Snake Eyes turned towards Nan Xi with ferocious eyes.

At this moment, any changes are no longer important. It must swallow this human into its stomach and crush him to pieces.

Nan Xi stepped back quickly and glanced at the wound that was slowly healing.

In fact, in the previous simple battle, she left many scars on the giant python, but those scars were too small. The giant python might have other special abilities, and the wounds healed very quickly.

The minor scars just now are no longer visible.

But Nan Xi's previous blow was on the vital point, and the wound was deep and large, so the healing speed was relatively slow.

After Qiqian was no longer the python's main target, he stayed in the air, not looking very smart.

But the situation was critical. Nan Xi didn't want to care about what Qi Qian was doing at the moment and just quickly transmitted the message.

"Hit it right where it's at. Don't let the wound heal!"

Nan Xi's voice fell into Qi Qian's ears. This was the first time Qi Qian heard Nan Xi's sonorous and powerful tone. Although he was stunned for a moment, he subconsciously acted according to Nan Xi's orders.

The giant python has extremely high destructive power, so Nan Xi led it to a farther place to avoid accidentally harming Luo Tingyun.

But no matter how well she practiced, no matter how well she mastered her body movements or other skills, she was still only at the Jindan stage, which was fundamentally inferior to the Yuanying stage.

The giant python's attacks continued without interruption. After Nan Xi severely injured it once, it roared angrily.

The scales on its body glowed a dark red light, carrying with them an unrivaled power. A strong suction force and the dark red light fell on the person at the same time.

The suction came from the giant python's bloody mouth. Wherever it passed, people felt numbness and the pain of corroded flesh and blood. Combined with the powerful suction of the snake's mouth, many creatures hiding in the surroundings flew into the snake's mouth in an instant.

Nan Xi resisted the suction, but could only stay where she was and unable to move.

Because Qi Qian was behind, he was not affected much. The giant python completely ignored his attack and stared at Nan Xi with its snake eyes.

Nan Xi's eyes were also fixed on the fierce and cold vertical pupils, even in such a stalemate, which was extremely unfavorable to her.

After all, the giant python is a spirit beast in the Yuanying period. Under the continuous confrontation, Nan Xi's body still slid towards the snake's mouth step by step. The spirit beast looked at her with hatred, viciousness, and the firm belief that it was determined to win.

As if he was sure that Nan Xi wouldn't be able to resist.

This was almost the case. Under the cover of the strange red light created by spiritual power and the giant python's own characteristics, Nan Xi could clearly feel her body going from a brief paralysis at the beginning to becoming stiff and weak little by little, and she could hardly feel her own existence.

She could see the movement in her peripheral vision.

Qi Qianben's sword that was originally intended to attack the seven-inch snake had already turned towards the snake's head after some hesitation.

Facing the nearby Snake's mouth, Nan Xi had almost no strength to resist.

She could already smell the fishy odor.

At the critical moment, the giant python had relaxed its vigilance, but Nan Xi's eyes suddenly sharpened when it relaxed. The fan-shaped magic weapon that had been serving as a decoration in her hair moved with her thoughts, and flew out while madly draining Nan Xi's spiritual energy.

The abundant spiritual energy of the Jindan stage was consumed in an instant, and Nan Xi also completely lost his strength and slid rapidly towards the snake's mouth.

The Fantasy Feather Fan quickly grew from small to large. The feathers on it were colorful and beautiful, but they carried an unparalleled force and a sharp edge that could break anything. It cut along the seven-inch wound on the giant python.

Qi Qian took a step back, with a wound on his face caused by the aftermath of the Phantom Feather Fan, and blood was dripping down.

And next to it, the giant python was almost gushing out blood.

Nan Xi had already fallen into the snake's mouth, but the giant python's body had been cut in two. The upper part was still struggling fiercely, but it was obvious that its time was running out.

Qi Qian stood there for a minute, his grip on the sword getting tighter and tighter.

The spiritual power attached to the sword continued to strengthen. He walked to the restless snake head and looked into the snake's eyes which had dimmed a lot. The direction the sword was pointing was exactly the snake's sky gate.

The moment the sword fell, the red-gold snake pupils suddenly burst into light, wrapped in a final full-strength attack, and suddenly rushed towards Qi Qian!

"Bang!"

Qi Qian's sword pierced the snake's head, and he himself was hit hard by the python's powerful force like a mountain wall.

This time the force was even stronger than the first time. The mountain wall collapsed and huge rocks rolled down, burying Qi Qian. He wanted to resist, but the moment he moved, he felt a heart-wrenching pain.

I can only watch myself being buried.

The land was in a mess. Apart from the unconscious Luo Tingyun, there was only the corpse of the giant python.

Nan Xi finally crawled out of the snake's belly. The first thing she did was to cast several cleansing spells on herself to wash away the smell of blood. Then she looked around dazedly.

All he saw was the unconscious Luo Tingyun.

...Qi Qian abandoned them and left?

Nan Xi was a little confused. She felt that Qi Qian was not the kind of person who would just leave behind such a large corpse of a Yuanying period spirit beast and the unconscious Luo Tingyun and walk away.

But the fight just now had exhausted Nan Xi's physical strength. With insufficient energy, she had no energy to think about where Qi Qian was. She just walked towards Luo Tingyun.

After just a short while of not seeing each other, Luo Tingyun's complexion became worse. An unhealthy flush appeared in the paleness, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, his brows were tightly wrinkled as if in pain, and his lips were pursed to a pale color.

Nan Xi squatted in front of him, feeling a little worried. She glanced at the surroundings: the dark red forest, the lingering smell of blood, the damp and strangely red soil. She always felt unsafe.

But is there any safe place in this dangerous environment?

She thought about it, and took the man to a secluded corner. After making sure that the area within five meters was safe, she used her best hidden array, which could even avoid detection by a strong man in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

It would be fine if he met someone in the Yuanying period again in the future, but if he met someone in the Huashen period, Heti period, or Dujie period, then he would be really helpless.

But Nan Xi felt a little worried when she saw Luo Tingyun's condition. She wiped the sweat off Luo Tingyun's face and clumsily cast a healing spell. But it was obvious that her spell, which could only heal minor injuries, was useless.

Not knowing what Luo Tingyun's situation was, he didn't dare to give the pills to others casually.

As I was looking at her, I felt that the beauty was indeed a beauty. Even with her slightly wet hair and unhealthy complexion, she still had a kind of breathtaking beauty.

[Junior sister is indeed very pretty, but what exactly is the problem? Can I look through her storage bag? Junior sister should have brought pills that can suppress hidden diseases...]

While thinking, Nan Xi reached out to feel the temperature of Luo Tingyun's forehead. As soon as she touched it, she felt it was hot, but suddenly she met a pair of beautiful eyes that were sparkling and moist.

Nan Xi was stunned.

"Senior sister..."

Luo Tingyun's voice was hoarse, but his wrinkled brows had relaxed and he even had a faint smile.

He said, "There is a cloud-patterned bottle in the storage bag."

Even though he said that, he didn't seem to be very sober. Nan Xi's hand was still on his forehead, and she rubbed it unconsciously, as if with affection.

The action was subtle, but it still made Nan Xi cute.

Afterwards, she probed into Luo Tingyun's storage bag with her spiritual consciousness and felt no resistance. The owner of the storage bag was extremely obedient and allowed her to probe in and check his privacy at will.

Nan Xi soon found the medicine bottle engraved with cloud patterns, took out a pill from it, and fed it to Luo Tingyun.

She had no mixed thoughts in her mind, but when Luo Tingyun's lips touched Nan Xi's hand, she couldn't help but feel strange emotions in her heart.

But Luo Tingyun said nothing and lowered his eyes silently.

Just when the atmosphere on Nanxi's side was becoming peaceful, the situation on the other side was gradually becoming tense.

After struggling with Li Yunzheng for half a year, the system finally found a way to eliminate the bug, but the method was similar to scraping bones to heal injuries, which was not only painful but also resulted in the loss of some things.

But this is not possible. It cannot directly remove the substance that can devour its energy, so it can only give up a part of itself in order to preserve its entirety.

In order to prevent Li Yunzheng from finding him for a while, the system used its energy to move itself to a place farthest away from Nan Xi, almost to the other half of the cultivation world.

Then I started to anxiously remove the bugs.

The spiritual imprint of a strong person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage is extremely powerful. When Li Yunzheng sensed the location of the system, he couldn't help but laugh.

After all, if the system can do this, it must be making some preparations when it is forced into a desperate situation.

Li Yunzheng thought for a while and made two simple movements with his hands. Then a space gap slowly appeared in front of him.

Her desire to find the system was not as difficult as the system thought.

Compared to Li Yunzheng, the system is extremely anxious. It keeps using energy and has already realized that it has run out of energy.

The materials attached to its body were constantly scraped off by it, and after being scattered on the land of the cultivation world, they were quickly devoured by spiritual power.

Precisely because of its fear of spiritual energy, this material is almost ignored by anyone in the world of cultivation.

But the system encountered such materials. How did it encounter them? This problem is already obvious, but the system can only do its best to remove them.

Just when it was about to be completed, it suddenly felt Li Yunzheng's breath.

This proved that Li Yunzheng was not far away, so it moved faster. As long as it could get rid of this exposure, Li Yunzheng would definitely not be able to catch it again.

But suddenly, the system felt that the remaining energy was rapidly dissipating. It was shocked and quickly felt the source of the energy loss.

Under the boulder, Qimi is here.

He was severely injured, and with a huge rock buried behind him, he soon fell into a coma.

He was weak and unconscious, and soon fell into a nightmare. A voice appeared in his ears.

"You are nothing but a piece of trash..."

"She's not even as good as Nan Xi who is in the Jindan stage... Aren't you the one who looks down on her the most?"

"You are garbage... garbage..."

"You are destined not to reach the peak you want..."

Words like these kept echoing in Qi Qian's ears. He frowned and shook his head, constantly refuting them, but Nan Xi's performance just now pierced his mind deeply.

Without a break.

All the setbacks he had encountered since his infancy kept replaying in his mind, and under the hypnosis of his inner demon, he couldn't help but become shaken.

Can he really reach the pinnacle that everyone looks up to?

Just as this thought arose, Qi Qian suddenly heard the sound of something breaking.

The heart of Tao is unstable, cracks have appeared in Yuanying, and these cracks are continuing to grow.

Qi Qian felt it and heard it, but he was immersed in a nightmare and could not process such information well. If his Yuanying was completely ruptured, he would fall back to the Jindan stage.

But at this moment, a surge of abundant power surged into Qi Qi's body.

…

The system in the distance felt the energy completely disappearing and saw Li Yunzheng nearby.

Run away.

It had previously issued an order for Qi Mi to advance to the Yuan Ying stage, and it had already completed it. However, at this time, Qi Mi's stage was about to regress, and the previous order was automatically executed, completely draining away its life-saving energy.

The next moment, Li Yunzheng had already torn through the space and directly controlled its body.

He said with a smile: "This time, I am not going to let you go."
