A huge black shadow burst out of the water, revealing hideous scales, each as big as a palm.
"boom!"
The water surged wildly, violently crashing against the small boat, instantly shattering it into pieces and splintering it into wood chips.
"Whoosh!"
Wang Hao transformed into a beam of white light, soaring into the sky. He channeled his spiritual energy into his legs, paused briefly in mid-air, and then surged upwards again, reaching a height of more than thirty meters above the water.
Just then, a huge black head burst out of the water, opened its mouth wide, and tried to swallow Wang Hao whole.
"It turns out to be a mid-tier fourth-order ferocious beast, the Black Wind Water Python."
The Black Wind Water Serpent is the overlord of the waters. It can not only move freely in the water, but also control the power of hurricanes, creating strong winds and huge waves.
Wang Hao pinched his index and middle fingers together, and the sword intent of "Sword Heart Clarity" instantly unfolded, forming a power of sword intent.
"call out!"
The Yin-Yang Profound Iron Sword Embryo emitted a sword cry and flew out of the storage ring like a sword dragon, flying into the mouth of the Black Wind Water Python with a "hissing" sound.
Although the sword embryo was not sharpened, it was still incredibly sharp. In an instant, it pierced through the Black Wind Python's protective protective aura, passed through its teeth and forked tongue, and flew into the Black Wind Python's belly.
The Black Wind Python cried out in pain, its body thrashing violently, emitting strange howls. Streams of wind-attribute true energy surged from its body, transforming into wind blades that flew in all directions.
The waves on the water became even more turbulent, but Wang Hao stood in the center of the storm, completely calm and without the slightest panic.
"Swish!"
Under Wang Hao's control, the Yin-Yang Profound Iron Sword Embryo severed all the internal organs of the Black Wind Python, leaving a trail of blood as it flew out of the python's mouth and landed in his hand.
"Boom!"
The black wind python's body crashed down heavily, splashing up a huge spray of water, and instantly sank into the River Styx.
A moment later, the enormous corpse floated to the surface. It was over seventy meters long, with a frighteningly thick and grotesque body. Every scale looked like it was made of black iron, reflecting a metallic luster.
In an instant, the entire body of water was stained red with blood, emitting a strong stench of blood.
If Wang Hao didn't possess the Yin-Yang Profound Iron Sword Embryo and the Sword Heart Clarity Realm, killing the Black Wind Python would not have been an easy task. Even just its scales would require a spiritual weapon to break through.
This fourth-tier mid-level ferocious beast was killed by Wang Hao, which shows that with his current strength at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, he has few rivals among those of the same realm.
Wang Hao lightly touched the water's surface with his toes, leaping up as lightly as a swallow, covering a distance of dozens of feet, and landing lightly on the corpse of the Black Wind Python.
The Black Wind Python possesses numerous treasures, such as its skin, which can be used to make soft armor, and its pair of fangs, which can be used to forge a poison weapon.
Even the flesh and blood of the Black Wind Python, after processing, can be given to martial artists to enhance their physique and improve their resistance to poison.
However, while the black wind python's skin, fangs, and meat were all valuable to Wang Hao, he no longer valued them.
As his cultivation level increases, the things he needs become increasingly precious. Moreover, since he is a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Primordial Chaos Green Lotus, the spiritual energy he needs is more than ten times that of ordinary cultivators.
Currently, Wang Hao's dantian contains only a stone that constantly emits a pale yellow spiritual energy, the purpose of which is still unknown.
Although Wang Hao's horizons had broadened, there were still some things about the Black Wind Python that caught his eye, such as its gall bladder.
"Sizzle!"
With a tearing sound, Wang Hao carefully sliced open the snake's skin and dug out a three-colored snake gall and a piece of spiritual flesh weighing over two hundred pounds.
A rich fragrance emanated from the spiritual flesh, like a medicinal herb made of flesh and blood; just a whiff of it would make one feel refreshed.
"A mid-tier fourth-order ferocious beast is many times stronger than a low-tier fourth-order ferocious beast, and its spiritual flesh is a highly nutritious food."
The Black Wind Python possesses strength roughly equivalent to a martial artist at the early or mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm, making it an extremely powerful and ferocious beast.
Although it only contains a little over two hundred catties of spiritual flesh, its value is dozens of times greater than the entire flesh and blood of the Black Wind Giant Python combined. Even a martial artist in the early stage of the Heavenly Realm would benefit greatly from consuming it.
Wang Hao divided the spiritual flesh into ten portions, placed them into ten jade containers, and carefully stored them away.
He looked up at the sky; the setting sun hung low, the horizon looked like it was burning with flames, and even the water surface turned golden.
"It seems we won't be able to reach the City of Death today."
Wang Hao wasn't in a hurry to travel. Even if he wanted to open the underwater dragon palace, there was no rush. He had already waited three months, so one more night wouldn't make a difference.
"Tonight, let's refine the three-colored snake gall first and see how much our cultivation can be improved." Wang Hao found a rather secluded valley and then set up a fire.
He sat beside the fire, took out the three-colored snake gall, processed it to remove the poison, and then swallowed it to begin refining it.
The energy contained in the three-colored snake gall was extremely cold. For a moment, Wang Hao felt as if he had swallowed a piece of ice. Fortunately, his cultivation had improved a lot, so he could easily resist the cold.
While refining the three-colored snake gall, Wang Hao also used the cold power of the three-colored snake gall to begin cultivating the five sword waves in his right hand.
"Taiyin Meridian Sword Wave!"
Wang Hao's thumb formed a sword, and he quickly pointed it out, instantly turning the surrounding air cold and biting.
A pale blue sword wave shot out from his thumb and struck the stone wall behind the valley with a loud boom, leaving a huge crater three meters in diameter in the stone wall, as if it had been hit by a meteorite.
The surrounding stone walls cracked open with a hissing sound, sealed by a layer of ice, and the "Taiyin Meridian Sword Wave" on his left thumb officially reached the minor completion stage.
"Tai Jing Jian Bo!"
Wang Hao's hand seals changed again. He pointed out with his right index finger, and a sword aura flew out from the fingertip, leaving an icy path on the ground.
"boom!"
Another huge crater appeared on the stone wall, causing almost the same destructive power as the previous sword wave.
Wang Hao made his move again. This time, he withdrew his index finger and thumb, leaving only his right middle, ring, and little fingers. In an instant, all three fingers struck out simultaneously.
"Central Spiritual Vein Sword Wave!"
"Taiyuan Pulse Sword Wave!"
"Lesser Moon Pulse Sword Wave!"
The three sword energies flew out almost simultaneously, leaving three large craters on the distant stone wall once again.
Two of the large pits, the same size as the two pits created by the previous two, only had the destructive power of the "Lesser Moon Pulse Sword Wave," leaving only a small pit one meter in diameter on the stone wall.
"The gallbladder of the Black Wind Python is indeed a good thing. It actually helped me to cultivate the Taiyin Meridian Sword Wave, Taiyin Meridian Sword Wave, Zhongling Meridian Sword Wave, and Taiyuan Meridian Sword Wave to a minor level at the same time. The only one left is the Shaoyue Meridian Sword Wave, which is still at the entry level."
