Chapter 133 The Red-Clad Cultivator
Three hundred miles north of the Tianyun Mountains.
There is a vast region covered with mountains and marshes, called Yulongze.
At that moment, the earth shook violently.
A sharp, piercing roar echoed through the sky.
A colossal python, its entire body a deep blue-green, its scales gleaming with a metallic sheen, and its length spanning twenty or thirty zhang, was seen writhing wildly amidst a devastated forest.
Wherever it passed, ancient trees as thick as a person's embrace were easily broken and crushed like straw, and hard rocks were also whipped into pieces.
Several hundred feet directly in front of it, a few tiny figures were fleeing for their lives, each with a panicked expression and more or less bearing injuries.
Not far behind the giant python, there was a mess of carriage wreckage, jewels and gold and silver, mixed with several pools of dark red blood.
Han Feiyu was running at the very front.
At this moment, he was carrying a beautiful young girl on his back, dressed in a white dress, with a lively and lovely face, who was terrified.
The girl clung tightly to Han Feiyu's neck. "Brother Han, we won't die here, will we?"
Han Feiyu had no time to reply.
He devoted all his energy to activating his magic power and maintaining that fifth-order Divine Speed Talisman.
If they hadn't been carrying a fifth-tier speed talisman and several fifth-tier offensive talismans, they might have already become the Azure Python's meal.
He didn't even dare to look back, as the terrifying sounds of a bloody wind and the earth trembling were pressing close behind him.
"Damn it!" Han Feiyu couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Did I dig up your ancestral grave in my past life, or steal your rice?! Why are you only targeting me when there are so many other people chasing after me?!"
Originally heading towards the Zhao family's location, they happened to encounter an ordinary merchant caravan led by a low-level Qi Refining cultivator, so they decided to hitch a ride to save some time.
Unexpectedly, they encountered a group of ignorant bandits on the way.
The two sides were locked in fierce combat, their spells flying wildly, creating quite a commotion. Somehow, this startled the Azure Python that was sleeping nearby.
Then, the nightmare began.
Seeing that the situation was not good, most of the cultivators scattered and fled, but for some reason, this beast had its eye on Han Feiyu and chased after him relentlessly.
"Damn it, I've had the worst luck imaginable! I'm just a nobody at the third level of Qi Refining, how could I possibly attract such a terrifying figure at the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining?!"
Han Feiyu wailed inwardly, "I should have left with Jiang Yixi! She has a flying mount provided by her sect and a bunch of life-saving trump cards. She could easily handle situations like this, unlike me—"
"I hate it! Why wasn't I born into a fairy family?"
Despite his complaints, he dared not slow down his pace in the slightest.
He only had one fifth-tier Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Talisman left in his hand. If he couldn't escape, he would be doomed.
"That old guy didn't give me any of his trump cards!"
Han Feiyu was still muttering to himself when the lively and adorable girl in the white dress on his back spoke up, "Brother Han, why don't you put me down?"
Han Feiyu rolled her eyes. "The point isn't whether I let you go or not—you're not heavy. The point is that this beast has his eye on me!"
The girl said timidly, "It's because you're being watched that you had to put me down—I had already run away, but you insisted on carrying me on your back—"
Han Feiyu:
'
In an instant, he realized that what the other person said made a lot of sense.
The situation was chaotic at the time, and the Azure Python kept its eyes on him. During his escape, Han Feiyu happened to be running in the direction of the girl.
Thinking that he couldn't bear to see her die, he casually grabbed her and put her on his back.
"Do you think you can let go now?"
Upon hearing this, the girl said no more.
With the Azure Python closing in from behind, he hardened his heart and pulled out the last Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Talisman from his storage bag.
"Damn it! I'll risk it!"
Just as he was about to throw it out.
A sudden change has occurred!
The once clear sky suddenly changed color.
Within the clouds, silver snakes danced wildly, and flashes of lightning appeared and disappeared.
The Azure Python behind Han Feiyu was startled by this sudden turn of events and dared not pursue Han Feiyu any further, fleeing in another direction.
Han Feiyu suddenly stopped in her tracks, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
He quickly put the girl down from his back, panting heavily as he looked up at the sky.
Beneath the churning thunderclouds, a tall figure suddenly appeared, seemingly suspended in mid-air.
The man was dressed in a blood-red robe, his hair as black as ink, which fluttered wildly in the wind.
"One finger, a thunderclap."
With a flick of his finger, a thick, dragon-like, blindingly bright white bolt of lightning tore through the sky and slammed down upon the fleeing blue python.
"Holy crap! Late stage of Qi Refining! And a master of Thunder Technique!" Han Feiyu was dumbfounded.
However, just a moment before the terrifying thunder dragon was about to strike the Azure Python's massive head.
"Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Palm!"
A deep, cold shout suddenly rang out from another direction.
Han Feiyu felt a blur before his eyes, and in the void above the Azure Python, a huge earthen-yellow palm print appeared out of thin air, arriving first after being struck later, and blocking the trajectory of the lightning dragon's strike perfectly.
A deafening roar erupted, accompanied by a blinding flash of light.
The violent power of thunder and the concentrated palm force swept around like a storm, crushing the trees below and sending mud and rocks flying.
Finally, the thunder dragon dissipated, and the giant, earthen-yellow hand became transparent, slowly dissipating into the air.
Han Feiyu exclaimed in surprise, "There are more experts?"
He quickly pulled the girl away and hid far away.
Although he didn't know what had happened, a battle between late-stage Qi Refining cultivators was not something a mere third-stage Qi Refining cultivator like him could observe up close.
Before leaving, he saw a cultivator in green robes standing in mid-air, with a small green snake wrapped around his left hand and a small white snake wrapped around his right hand.
Then it landed steadily on the head of the Azure Python. The beast that had been chasing Han Feiyu was now trembling and crawling at the feet of the mysterious cultivator.
"I wish I also had the cultivation level of the late stage of Qi Refining."
Han Feiyu sighed, not daring to linger, and quickly left.
The center of the battlefield.
Li Qingyi stood on the head of the Azure Python, watching the thunder dragon dissipate, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness I made it in time!
He was truly afraid that the red-robed cultivator would obliterate the Azure Python with a single blow, or destroy its gallbladder, venom glands, or other vital parts, which would ruin his mission.
Six hundred contribution points!
Li Qingyi raised his head, looked at the imposing red-robed cultivator in the air, and cupped his hands, saying, "Fellow Daoist, I have been tracking this beast for several days. It has something I need. I would be extremely grateful if you would do me a favor and give this beast to me."
The red-robed monk did not answer immediately.
The lightning around him subsided slightly, revealing a rather handsome face.
He really didn't think much of a mere Qi Refining Level 6 demon beast.
I only made a move today because I was passing by and was in a good mood. Seeing the two people being chased so badly, I decided to do a good deed and kill the beast with a single lightning spell, as a small act of kindness.
but----
He never expected that such an unexpected surprise would come out of nowhere.
Judging from the power of that palm strike that intercepted my lightning technique, the opponent was also at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Moreover, the sheer power of his magic was surprisingly comparable to, if not greater than, that of himself.
In particular, the other party's calm and steady yet sharp aura instantly piqued his interest.
That Qi Refining Level 6 demonic beast is not important at all; what's important is the person in front of you!
The man in red sneered, "If you beat me, the prey is yours."
After saying that, his aura suddenly surged.
His cultivation at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining was released without reservation, and visible faint silver light waves emanated from him.
The sky suddenly turned extremely gloomy.
Li Qingyi felt a chill run down his spine. There were two snakes, one blue and one white, on his body, and a blue python under his feet.
He made a decision immediately.
"Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Palm!"
The palm shadow coalesced in the sky, and the red-robed cultivator was naturally on high alert. He was well aware of the power of Li Qingyi's palm strike and dared not be careless.
Unexpectedly, Li Qingyi struck the Azure Python beneath her with her palm.
Struck by the heavy blow, the Azure Python twitched and died on the spot.
With this palm strike, Li Qingyi controlled her strength perfectly, killing the opponent without damaging the parts of the body required for the mission.
The whole process was as fast as lightning; from the moment the palm strike was struck to the death of the Azure Python, it took only a breath or two.
Without pausing, Li Qingyi waved her left hand and stored the enormous corpse of the Azure Python on the ground into her storage ring.
After doing all this, Li Qingyi suddenly turned around and looked up at the red-robed cultivator in the air.
Since things have come to this, then let's fight! Let me see just how strong I really am now!
"Great Wilderness! Imprisoning Heaven Palm!"
