#9 - Join forces to kill the Flame Python

Jun Wuxie was somewhat nervous, as this task was too important to him, concerning his and Yueyao's life and death.

He prayed that the white-armored woman would not be a match for the Flame Python. Although this was somewhat unkind, only in this way would he have a chance to complete the assassination mission.

That woman had already reached the deepest part of the valley.

The roar of the Flame Python came from inside the cave.

It appeared, raising its snake head high, and charged directly towards the white-armored woman.

Boom!

A great battle erupted instantly.

Jun Wuxie watched the battle secretly, and was shocked in his heart.

That woman, riding the Thousand Spirit Steed, wielded her spear like a dragon. Every thrust withstood the Flame Python's attack. The two fought so fiercely that the mountains shook and the ground cracked, sending rocks flying.

A Qi Condensation Realm expert?

Jun Wuxie held his breath. He had never seen a martial artist of this realm before. Today, he finally saw one, truly terrifying!

"I didn't expect it to be a fourth-order ferocious beast!"

Inside the valley, the surprised voice of the woman fighting fiercely with the Flame Python reached Jun Wuxie's ears.

Fourth-order?

Jun Wuxie felt a chill down his spine. What was the concept of fourth-order? That was equivalent to a Cave Heaven Realm martial artist who had opened up a Cave Heaven within their body!

Looking at it this way, that woman wasn't in the Qi Condensation Realm at all, she should be in the Cave Heaven Realm!

For such a strong person to appear in a place like Qingyang City.

What Jun Wuxie couldn't understand was, why would a strong person of this realm care about ten thousand gold?

Rumble!

The battlefield was very violent, shattering even a small mountain range.

Many of the Flame Python's fiery red scales were broken off, and the woman's condition didn't seem to be very good either. Her face was a little pale, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

"Something's not right, she wasn't directly attacked, how could she be bleeding... Could it be that she already had internal injuries?"

Just as Jun Wuxie was thinking, the woman retreated towards the valley entrance during the battle. The Flame Python stopped at the valley entrance and eventually returned to the cave.

The opportunity has come!

Jun Wuxie's eyes lit up. Sometimes luck is really important.

It seemed that his coming here today was destined for some things to be accomplished.

He didn't hesitate and quickly ran towards the direction where the woman was.

At the valley entrance, the woman was sitting cross-legged, adjusting her breath to heal her injuries. Sensing someone approaching, she opened her eyes.

She was slightly stunned. The person who came was actually a Houtian Realm martial artist.

But this Houtian Realm martial artist had actually cultivated the Limit?

"To cultivate the Limit in the Houtian Realm, this kind of comprehension and talent..."

The woman's heart stirred, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances at the young man in front of her.

"Hello," Jun Wuxie stopped five meters away from the woman and said, "Looking at your attire, you should be a female general of the Great Zhou Kingdom, right?"

He sized up the woman.

This woman was very beautiful, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe her as stunning.

Her heroic and valiant temperament, exquisite features that did not lose the gentleness of a woman, and full and charming red lips.

Those eyes were very bright, like two black gemstones that gathered light.

"Those who can cultivate the Limit are rare, apart from being a bit low in realm, you are very good."

The woman's calm voice caused a stormy sea in Jun Wuxie's heart.

This woman could actually see that he had cultivated the Limit?

She seemed to see through Jun Wuxie's thoughts and said, "My bloodline is a bit special, granting me a pair of special eyes, you don't need to be surprised."

"May I ask, did you also accept the reward to kill the Flame Python?"

Hearing her mention her special eyes, Jun Wuxie couldn't help but think of how Xiao Tianming had relied on a pair of special eyes to see through his bloodline half a year ago.

"Reward mission?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then gently shook her head.

Jun Wuxie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this woman had come for other reasons, and immediately said, "You want to kill the Flame Python, but you can't do it in your current state. We can join forces, as long as we cooperate with each other, we can kill it!"

"Before coming here, I suffered serious injuries and can only barely exert the strength of the early Qi Condensation Realm. I really can't kill that fourth-order Flame Python." Speaking of this, the woman couldn't help but be a little curious: "You are only in the Houtian Realm, yet you confidently say you can kill it, I would like to hear, what methods do you have."

"We can't fight head-on, we can only outsmart it." Jun Wuxie pointed to the deepest part of the valley: "Do you see the top of that cliff?"

"You want to..."

"You only need to hold it back and buy me some time."

The woman thought for a moment and said, "My current physical condition prevents me from using swordsmanship, I can only use a spear, and the spear is my weakness, I can only hold it back for half an hour at most. In such a short time, you can't do it."

"I think I can, do you have a better way?" Jun Wuxie took a few steps forward, reached out and said, "Lend me the sword on your back."

The woman didn't move the sword on her back, but swiped her hand on the ring, and a three-foot-long sword appeared in her hand, shining with a cold light.

Jun Wuxie's pupils shrank, was that a spatial storage ring?

"Thanks!"

He took the long sword, slightly circulated his blood energy and poured it into the sword body, and the long sword in his hand actually emitted a cheerful tremor.

Sword intent!

Only those who have comprehended sword intent can make a spiritual sword feel a sense of belonging. Did this young man actually comprehend sword intent?

A look of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes.

"Do you want to adjust your breath for a while?"

"No need."

The woman shook her head, mounted her warhorse and headed towards the valley.

Jun Wuxie also took action, quickly sneaking towards the top of the cliff in the deepest part of the valley.

"Is he from Qingyang City?" The woman looked at Jun Wuxie's back and muttered to herself: "Some time ago, a stellar phenomenon appeared in Qingyang City, indicating that a genius in Qingyang City had communicated with his Natal Star and entered the Innate Knowing Fate Realm, I wonder how his talent compares to the young man in front of me?"

Rumble!

She went deep into the valley, angered the Flame Python, and the great battle broke out again.

However, this time she led the Flame Python to an area close to the valley entrance, and did not directly collide with it, using the Thousand Spirit Steed's agility to entangle it.

Jun Wuxie watched the battlefield situation from the top of the cliff, while wielding the long sword to break open the solid stone ground.

The position he was in now had a solid stone about ten meters in diameter, and this stone was only a few meters away from the edge of the cliff.

The long sword in his hand was extremely sharp, cutting the ground around the boulder like cutting tofu.

He then realized that this was actually a spiritual weapon, but he didn't know what grade it was.

He started from the left and right sides of the boulder, cutting the stone ground supporting the boulder piece by piece, and then went around to the front and did the same.

Although he had a spiritual weapon in his hand, which could cut iron like mud, urging the spiritual weapon consumed a lot of blood energy.

Before long, Jun Wuxie was already sweating profusely.

The battlefield at the valley entrance was not optimistic.

The woman was seriously injured. After a series of entanglements, blood had already spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her injuries had worsened.

Jun Wuxie sped up, wielding the spiritual sword to frantically cut the ground between the cliff and the boulder, making it a steep slope.

At this time, the woman happened to look at the top of the mountain, and Jun Wuxie made a gesture.

She immediately understood, the weak state was swept away, and she stabbed out countless spear shadows. The blazing edge of the spear intent shattered a large number of the Flame Python's scales, constantly forcing it towards the depths of the valley.

Jun Wuxie hid on the top of the mountain, paying attention to the situation of the battlefield, and held the spiritual sword against the last support point of the boulder.

The Flame Python retreated step by step, already reaching the cave entrance. It was furious and counterattacked almost violently, causing the woman to vomit blood.

Just then.

The sword in Jun Wuxie's hand suddenly vibrated.

The last stone supporting the boulder was shattered.

The ten-meter-diameter stone rolled down all at once.

Under the gravity acceleration of hundreds of meters, the boulder weighing millions of pounds carried an impact force of more than hundreds of millions of pounds, smashing towards the Flame Python.

Hearing the sound, the Flame Python suddenly looked up, and a human-like look of horror appeared in its diamond-shaped snake eyes. The python's body rushed towards the distance like an arrow, but was shaken back by the white-armored woman's spear.

Boom!

The boulder fell, and the entire valley shook violently, the earth cracked, and dust filled the sky.

The Flame Python let out a miserable hiss, and half of its body was pressed underneath, leaving only its head roaring madly.

At this moment, a silver spear pierced through its head with a puff, and its violently shaking python head instantly drooped to the ground.
