Chapter 128 - Survival by DeathIn almost the same instant that Xiang Yun turned around to leave Xiang Fei and the rest of the group, the Profound Fire Double Headed Python had already caught up to him. The latter"s enormous body was like a mountain as a black shadow completely enveloped Xiang Yun within!
Xiang Yun forced himself to endure the burning sensation on his back, the thick stench of blood coming from above his head. He knew without even looking back.
Behind him, there were two pythons with heads bigger than a calf. They were staring at him with red eyes. They were opening their b.l.o.o.d.y mouths to reveal their huge white fangs. Flames were flying from their mouths!
"Hiss hiss!"At this close distance, the two headed python"s hissing sounds were exceptionally ear-piercing. Under the scorching heat emitted from its body, Xiang Yun felt his entire body turn cold!
"Huala!"
All of a sudden, a strong gust of wind blew from above him. Xiang Yun"s ears twitched, and the Hundred Transformations Steps under his feet shifted swiftly to the side, speeding up his stride. He suddenly leapt forward like a carp leaping over a dragon"s gate, flipping over a giant boulder!
"Bam!"
The moment his body flipped over the huge rock, it exploded into countless fragments and hit the back of his body that had just fallen to the ground. It was like a bone piercing pain!
However, Xiang Yun did not have the chance to feel any more pain. He already took large strides forward as another ferocious attack came from behind him. The Double Headed Python"s huge tail swept out, sweeping out in all directions!
Xiang Yun did not dare to fight head on. Even if his physical body was stronger than a Cloud martial artist of the same level, if he were to fight head on with this Twin Headed Python, he would only end up with wounds and broken bones!
After dodging the attacks of the Double Headed Python several times in a row, Xiang Yun"s body was already in a sorry state, the Hundred Transformations Steps under his feet had become messy. At this moment, it was not only because of the Double Headed Python"s attacks, Xiang Yun"s own cloud energy had been depleted as well!The Double Headed Python behind him seemed to have noticed Xiang Yun"s fatigue. The latter"s attacks became more concentrated, not stopping at all, causing Xiang Yun to have no chance to catch his breath!
Just as Xiang Yun"s legs finally softened and he took a wrong step, the ground beneath his feet was suddenly lifted off. His entire body was flung high into the air without his control!
"Shua!"
The strong wind suddenly whistled by his ears as a black figure soared through the air, covering Xiang Yun"s entire body!
In the next moment, as if he had been pressed down by a mountain, Xiang Yun"s body flew backwards in midair!
As he flew backwards, all of Xiang Yun"s acupoints let out a "pu" sound at the same time, and a cloud of blood actually exploded forth from within them!
"Boom!"
Xiang Yun was struck directly onto a huge boulder, actually forcefully smashing that boulder until it exploded!
The moment he fell to the ground, Xiang Yun nearly lost consciousness. His mind buzzed non-stop as he lost all sensation of pain from his paralyzed body. It was as if the Twin-headed Python"s tail had sucked out his soul!
"Hu!"
Xiang Yun"s chest heaved weakly, the golden spirit root within his body emitting a scorching golden light. An invisible stream of pure energy was continuously being released from the golden spirit root, healing Xiang Yun"s injuries!
However, it was far from being able to dissolve the fire. Although Qing Liu was profound at the moment, it was unable to immediately heal the serious injuries on Xiang Yun"s body. Currently, he could barely move a finger!
In the next moment, Xiang Yun suddenly felt a burning sensation. His body could not move, and he could only sweep his gaze in every direction.With this look, he was shocked to discover that his surroundings had already been surrounded by a blazing scarlet flame!
At this moment, there were two pythons" heads raised high in the sky. Four lantern-sized b.l.o.o.d.y eyes stared fixedly at Xiang Yun. Their tongues constantly flicked as they emitted ear-piercing hisses and were extremely malevolent.
The Twin Headed Python had already used its scarlet flames to wrap Xiang Yun within. It was as if the ground had become a prison, completely trapping Xiang Yun. At this moment, Xiang Yun was undoubtedly already within its grasp!Looking at this Black Fire Python that was so high up in the sky, Xiang Yun"s eyes flashed with a deep sense of unwillingness.
He had muddled his way to this world and obtained the Jin Yong Wuxia System. He thought he still had a long way to go, but now, it was like a tragedy!Even though he was unwilling to give up, Xiang Yun could no longer muster any strength. He could no longer put up any form of resistance!
Seeing the two gigantic heads nearing him unceasingly, Xiang Yun finally felt despair.
Forget it, forget it. I came here muddleheaded and died in a hurry, just like a dream. Brother Snakes, no, it should be one of them.
"Hiss hiss."
As if it had heard Xiang Yun"s thoughts, the two ma.s.sive heads of the Profound Fire Python simultaneously flicked out their tongues. Immediately after, a red light flashed in its scarlet eyes, and its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth gaped wide open as it instantly bent over.
From the looks of it, it was trying to tear Xiang Yun into two!
Seeing this, Xiang Yun finally closed his eyes …
"Whoosh!"
At the moment he closed his eyes, he heard two sounds piercing through the air!Xiang Yun suddenly opened his eyes and looked up into the sky. Aside from the two hideous heads that were just inches away from him, two more "Black Feather Silver Arrows" suddenly appeared!
The arrow brought up two sparkling rainbows as it suddenly shot towards the Twin-Headed Black Fire Python"s pair of eyes!
Upon seeing the familiar looking black feathered silver arrow, Xiang Yun"s eyes immediately shook. The two enormous pythons also seemed to sense the threat as they lowered their heads to face the two arrows with their heads!
"Clank, clank!"
Two silver arrows with black feathers brushed past the double-headed serpent"s scarlet scales, creating a series of sparks as they did so. In the end, they were unable to break through, and the latter"s hard scales were sent flying!
However, the instant the Double Headed Python lowered its head, a ball of aqublue light charged into the place where Xiang Yun had been in the ring of fire. It actually forcefully opened a hole in the circle of fire!
In an instant, a graceful figure entered the room like a bolt of lightning. Xiang Yun only felt his shoulders tighten before he was lifted into the air!
Immediately, Xiang Yun could no longer hear the wind whistling past his ears as the scenery around him sped past. He had actually already escaped the range of the Mystic Fire Double Headed Python"s fire circle, having been rescued!Xiang Yun struggled to turn his head to look, and immediately revealed a shocked expression. This person in front of him was the one that he thought was most likely to save him, and was also the one that was least likely to save him!
"Princess!"
The person who had saved him at that critical moment was indeed Xiang Fei, the master of the Black Feather Silver Arrow!The grudge between Xiang Yun and Xiang Fei had already been settled in Silver City. From Xiang Yun"s point of view, Xiang Fei was most likely someone who wanted to see him be swallowed by the Twin-headed Python.
But now, she was risking her life to save him. How could this not surprise him?!
"Your Highness, why have you come?"
"Hmph, the guy you threw at me is too heavy. I don"t want to burden him with such a huge burden!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yun was a little moved. He naturally knew that Xiang Fei"s words were not from the bottom of her heart. The Twin Headed Python"s target was him. Speaking of being a burden, he was the biggest burden!
"Hiss!"
It was at this moment that Xiang Yun heard that familiar hissing sound again. In the distance, he saw that the Profound Fire Double Headed Python that was already over thirty meters away, had already raised its head!When they saw Xiang Yun, who had fled dozens of feet away, they immediately held their boa"s head high, their tongues wildly quivering. Red light shone from their scarlet eyes, as if they were mad and furious!
"Rumble!"
All of a sudden, the body of the Black Fire Python swayed, slithered, and chased after them!
Although it was called crawling, in truth, the Double Headed Python"s speed was even faster than flying. In the blink of an eye, all of the forest boulders that obstructed it were completely crushed by it in an instant. It was unstoppable!
At this moment, Xiang Fei had also channeled all the cloud energy in her body, causing a bright ray of light to rise from her body. Her feet created a series of afterimages as she grabbed Xiang Yun and fled into the distance at lightning speed!
Seeing the two of them quickly escaping, the two pythons" heads behind continued to move up and down. Their bodies swayed as they swam, and they actually gradually closed the distance between the two of them!
"Not good, it"s catching up!"
Hearing this, Xiang Fei"s expression did not change, but the aura on her body trembled, and her footsteps became even more swift. Her speed increased once more!
"Hiss!"The twin-headed python behind them suddenly hissed. The two enormous pythons opened their b.l.o.o.d.y mouths and abruptly spat out two cl.u.s.ters of scarlet red flames. The flames instantly cut through the sky and charged toward the two of them!
The searing heat instantly spread out, turning Xiang Yun"s vision crimson as it was enveloped in raging flames. Just as he turned back in shock, Xiang Fei had already turned around and waved her palm towards the crimson flames!
From Xiang Yun"s palm, a light blue ripple that was like a water ripple flew out. It brought with it a surging force as it welcomed the collision of the two flames!
In a split-second, the s.p.a.ce shook with a loud rumble, and the two raging flames instantly froze!
However, in the blink of an eye, the water curtain suddenly melted and evaporated. Crimson flames rushed out, instantly burning a large part of the dense forest!
However, Xiang Fei and the others had already used this moment to quickly flee!
Seeing that Xiang Yun and the rest had managed to escape once more, the Twin-headed Python did not stop its pursuit. As it continued to pursue them, its mouth spewed out endless flames that shot toward Xiang Yun and the rest!"Boom boom boom!"
Xiang Fei was also continuously waving her palms out to meet the attack. Water blue ripples surged in the sky as they collided with the flames, causing a humming sound to resound throughout the world!
Xiang Fei"s strength was obviously unable to contend against the Profound Fire Double Headed Python. The latter could only defend against the crimson flames for a short while before making use of this opportunity to flee!Seeing that Xiang Yun and the rest were actually safe and sound, the Profound Fire Double Headed Python immediately became even more furious. Its thick iron tail suddenly swept out, causing countless mountain rocks and tree stumps to fly backwards, smashing towards the two of them from all directions!
Regarding this, Xiang Fei only waved the longsword in her hand. Instantly, countless dense sword rays flashed around Xiang Fei!
It was as if the heavens were shattering, and the sword shadows flew everywhere as all the flying rocks and giant trees were instantly reduced to dust!
"So powerful!"
Seeing this scene, Xiang Yun couldn"t help but feel a trace of shock in his heart. Back then, on the Silver City"s arena, if Xiang Fei had shown such strength, perhaps even ten of him wouldn"t be her match!
"Hiss!"Seeing Xiang Fei bringing Xiang Yun along with her as she charged forward unhindered, the Double-Headed Python finally erupted into a rage. It lifted its head towards the sky and roared. In the next moment, its body actually came to a sudden stop!
"Mhmm, it stopped!" Xiang Yun, who had been observing the movements of the Twin-headed Python, immediately cried out in surprise when he saw this!
"Hmm?"
Xiang Fei also turned around with a puzzled expression. When she saw that Black Fire Python"s body had come to a halt, she was slightly stunned.
She saw the two-headed python"s mountain-like body suddenly shrink and entrap itself. Its two ma.s.sive heads were tightly pressed down!
"This is bad!"
Xiang Fei suddenly cried out in alarm as she abruptly grabbed Xiang Yun. An enormous energy was released from beneath her feet as she directly chopped a huge rock into pieces. Like an arrow, she flew away with Xiang Yun!Xiang Fei"s sudden action caused Xiang Yun to be extremely shocked. He thought to himself, even this Twin-headed Python has stopped chasing me, why is Xiang Fei still in such a state of panic?
"Bam!"
Almost at the same moment this thought appeared in Xiang Yun"s mind, the earth shook violently, and a loud sound rang out like thunder from the highest heavens!
Xiang Yun endured the piercing pain in his eardrums as he abruptly turned his head, immediately seeing a scene that caused him to be flabbergasted!
They saw that the figure of the Profound Fire Double Headed Python had already disappeared from the distant earth. Instead, it was a giant python in the sky that was dozens of meters long with scales that were completely scarlet red like fire and had two sinister heads!Like a giant arrow, the Black Fire Python"s body soared through the air with astonishing momentum!
