373: Chapter 373 Tearing apart a three-headed black python with bare hands, the crimson light within the bronze pillar!

The black stone steps extended downward, seemingly bottomless.

A series of Yin winds blew through the passage, carrying a thick scent of blood.

Su Yang walked at the very front with his hands in his casual pants pockets. His steady footsteps echoed continuously through the empty passage.

Qin Xueji tightly gripped Bai Li's sleeve, her high heels clicking crisply against the stone slabs. The surrounding air was extremely cold; as a mere Core Formation Cultivator walking through the dark underground depths, she inevitably felt uneasy and could only huddle close to Bai Li for warmth.

Mary flapped her black bat wings and hovered in mid-air, her face full of disgust.

"It stinks. It’s all the smell of moldy, rotting meat. There must be some ugly freak hiding down there," Mary said, her tight leather outfit leaving nothing of her explosive figure to the imagination.

Chu Ling's ice-blue dress fluttered in the wind. Far from being afraid, she actually quite enjoyed the environment.

"The Yin Qi is very heavy. It's a good place to Cultivate," Chu Ling said, her ice-blue eyes shimmering with light.

Bai Li fanned herself with a round fan, her nine snow-white fox tails slowly unfurling behind her. Her purple eyes scanned the surrounding stone walls.

"Everyone, be careful. The stone walls of the passage are covered in Ancient Suppression Runes. Whatever monster is imprisoned below is definitely not simple," Bai Li warned.

Su Yang's expression remained indifferent. He said nothing and continued walking down with long strides.

They walked down the stone steps for about half an hour.

The view ahead suddenly opened up.

A vast underground cavern appeared. In the center of the cavern stood a massive White Bone Platform.

A thick Giant Bronze Pillar stood on the platform. The pillar was a hundred meters tall, its surface covered in green patina and intricate ancient runes.

Clang, clang!

The sound of dragging chains was coming from the platform.

Everyone looked closely. A black giant python, hundreds of meters long, was firmly locked to the bronze pillar by eight thick Black Iron Chains.

The giant python had three massive heads, its body covered in heavy black scales. Each scale was the size of a washbasin, shimmering with a dark metallic luster.

Hearing the messy footsteps.

The black giant python's three heads rose simultaneously. Six blood-red eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness like six large red lanterns.

"Living humans! It’s been tens of thousands of years; finally, food has come to my door!"

The giant python actually spoke in human tongue. Its voice was hoarse and muffled, as if two giant rocks were rubbing against each other, making the entire cavern hum.

A powerful pressure instantly swept through the area. Soul Transformation Stage Middle Stage Realm!

Qin Xueji's face turned pale with fear, and her legs went weak, nearly causing her to fall. Bai Li quickly waved her sleeve, propping up a barrier of purple demonic power to protect Qin Xueji.

Mary looked at the behemoth ahead and curled her rosy lips.

"It's so ugly. A body full of stinking meat; I'd find it too dirty to suck its blood even if it were offered for free."

The giant python flew into a rage upon hearing Mary's mockery.

"Reckless ants! Surrender all your flesh and blood!"

The giant python's three heads opened their bloody maws at the same time.

The left head spat out a stream of black poisonous water. The middle head spewed a ball of green poisonous fire. The right head exhaled a gust of gray Yin wind.

The poisonous water, poisonous fire, and Yin wind merged into a storm of destruction, carrying the power to corrode everything as it smashed towards Su Yang and the others. Everywhere the storm passed, solid rock was instantly reduced to powder.

"Leave it to me!"

Chu Ling shouted, her ice-blue skirt fluttering. She prepared to use her Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cold Qi to freeze the storm.

"Step back."

Su Yang's voice was calm.

Without making any move to dodge, he pulled out his right hand and clenched his fingers into a fist.

Dazzling golden Pure Yang True Fire instantly enveloped his fist. The high temperature caused the surrounding air to warp severely.

"A tethered beast dares to clamor."

Facing the incoming storm of destruction, Su Yang threw a punch with sheer force.

"Shatter!"

The massive golden fist radiance was like a wild Dragon emerging from the sea, carrying a terrifying heat capable of incinerating all things as it crashed directly into the center of the storm.

Boom!

A deafening roar exploded within the cavern.

Before the overwhelmingly powerful Pure Yang True Fire, the poisonous water, poisonous fire, and Yin wind were like fragile paper toys. After just one second of contact, they were completely evaporated into a mist that filled the air.

The golden fist radiance didn't lose its momentum and smashed heavily into the giant python's middle head.

Bang!

The incredibly hard black scales shattered inch by inch. The giant python's middle head was blown apart by the single punch, and foul-smelling black blood splattered everywhere.

"Awooo—!"

The giant python let out a shrill, miserable howl. Its massive body was slammed heavily against the Giant Bronze Pillar by the recoil.

Su Yang tapped his toes on the ground. His figure turned into a bolt of golden lightning, instantly jumping onto the White Bone Platform.

The giant python's remaining two heads went completely mad. Opening their mouths, they lunged at Su Yang from both sides.

Like an invincible god of war, Su Yang nimbly dodged in mid-air.

Reaching out with his left hand, he grabbed the horn on the left head. His right fist descended like a torrential storm.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a dozen consecutive punches, the left head was beaten into a pile of mangled meat. The skull shattered, and red and white matter spilled across the ground.

The giant python desperately twisted its several-hundred-meter-long body, attempting to whip Su Yang with its thick tail. The eight Black Iron Chains were pulled taut.

Su Yang grabbed the whipping tail. The muscles in his arms bulged.

"Break!"

Crack!

Accompanied by a crisp, loud crack, the thick tail was snapped by Su Yang's bare hands. Black blood sprayed wildly.

Immediately after, Su Yang's right leg generated a piercing sonic boom, like a giant heaven-cleaving axe, as it chopped down heavily onto the giant python's last head.

Boom!

The last head was instantly pulverized.

The giant python was completely still, its massive body collapsing. It crashed onto the White Bone Platform, kicking up a cloud of dust.

An ancient Vicious Beast at the Soul Transformation Middle Stage was beaten to death by Su Yang with his bare hands. The entire process took less than two minutes.

Su Yang landed steadily. A cluster of golden flames surged from beneath his feet.

The Pure Yang True Fire instantly engulfed the python's remains. In just a few minutes, the hundred-meter-long behemoth was burned into a pile of white ash.

A fist-sized black Demon Core, radiating dense and poisonous Yin energy, fell to the ground.

Su Yang reached out and sucked the Demon Core into his palm. He casually tossed it to Chu Ling behind him.

"Take it as a snack."

Chu Ling caught it steadily, a hint of joy appearing on her beautiful face. "Thank you, Boss."

Mary flew to Su Yang's side, waving her small fists and cheering, "Boss is so cool! Beating that big stupid snake was as easy as cutting tofu!"

Qin Xueji stepped onto the platform, looking at the ashes on the ground with deep admiration in her eyes. As long as she was by Boss's side, any terrifying monster would be easily defeated.

Having dealt with the giant python, Su Yang turned to look at the Giant Bronze Pillar in the center of the platform.

The giant pillar was dozens of meters high, its surface carved with obscure and difficult-to-understand ancient runes.

At the moment of the giant python's death, the sound of a muffled mechanism turning suddenly came from inside the Giant Bronze Pillar.

Rumble.

The entire bronze pillar began to shake violently, and a crack slowly opened down its middle.

An ancient aura ten times more powerful than the giant python's surged out from the crack.

Deep within the crack, a strange purple-red light lit up.

Along with the purple-red light, a low, majestic male voice drifted out from inside the pillar.

"Who is it that killed this King's watchdog?"

The voice seemed to span across endless years, making the entire underground cavern hum.
