558: Lu Xueqi (35)

"Be careful, this Fuhai Python can control water currents. On this sea, its strength can be maximized."

Lu Xueqi whispered a reminder, her tianya divine sword already unsheathed, blue light flowing, and cold Qi radiating.

Bi Yao also put away her usual playful demeanor, her expression solemn, as the Sadness Flower slowly spun in her palm, emitting a hazy glow.

Su Han took a deep breath, knowing he couldn't fight it head-on.

This Fuhai Python was an ancient exotic species, with thick skin and flesh, and immense Demonic Qi. Entangling with it here was definitely not a wise move.

"Our goal isn't to kill it, it's to land. I'll attract its attention, and you two find a chance to rush past!"

Su Han spoke quickly, and without waiting for the two women to object, he activated the nether skeleton spirit boat, drawing an arc, and actively charged towards the Fuhai Python's flank.

At the same time, he formed a sword art with his hand, and the qingming sword let out a clear, ringing sword cry, transforming into a blue long rainbow that shot directly at the Fuhai Python's cold, vertical pupil.

The Fuhai Python let out an angry hiss, clearly enraged by the provocation of this "little bug."

Its huge head swayed, stirring up monstrous waves, and an undercurrent, like an invisible large hand, swept towards the spirit boat.

Su Han was prepared; the spirit boat suddenly rose, narrowly avoiding the tearing of the undercurrent.

The qingming sword struck the Fuhai Python's eyelid, making a sound like metal clashing, and a stream of sparks flew, yet it failed to break through its defense!

The Fuhai Python's defense was far beyond imagination.

"Roar!"

The Fuhai Python opened its mouth and spewed a black water pillar. The water pillar contained extremely strong corrosiveness and impact force, and wherever it passed, the air hissed.

Su Han fully controlled the spirit boat, performing various dangerous evasive maneuvers in the air.

The water pillar brushed past the edge of the spirit boat, causing the protective shield to fluctuate violently, and its light dimmed a bit.

"Now!"

Lu Xueqi seized the moment when the Fuhai Python was attacking Su Han, and its old strength had just faded and new strength had not yet emerged. She let out a soft cry, and the tianya divine sword shone brightly.

"Nine Heavens Profound Evil, transform into divine thunder!"

The majestic heavenly might condensed, and a dazzling bolt of lightning descended from the sky, not striking the Fuhai Python's hard head, but directly hitting its relatively fragile neck where it connected to its body!

Boom!

The lightning exploded, and the Fuhai Python let out a painful roar. The scales in that area turned scorched black, and even tiny cracks appeared.

Bi Yao also attacked simultaneously, the Sadness Flower's light flickering, and countless pink petals appeared out of thin air, like sharp blades, swirling towards the Fuhai Python's wound, attempting to enlarge the battle's outcome.

The Fuhai Python, in pain, twisted its massive body frantically, churning the sea like boiling water.

It was completely enraged, no longer bothering with Su Han's harassment, and instead pounced on Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao, who had just inflicted harm upon it.

Its giant tail swept across like a mountain, bringing with it whistling gales.

"Retreat!"

Su Han piloted the spirit boat, narrowly carrying the two women to avoid this fatal blow.

The giant tail slapped the sea, stirring up a hundred-meter-high wall of waves.

"This won't do. Its defense is too strong, our attacks are hard to make fatal, and its strength seems endless."

Bi Yao said hurriedly, her face a little pale.

Su Han's sharp gaze swept over the Fuhai Python's massive body and the seemingly calm bay it guarded.

The netherworld token was still hot, and although the astrolabe's needle was shaking, its general direction still pointed to the depths of the bay.

"This beast is guarding this place to the death, perhaps there's something in that bay, or... that's a relatively safe path to land on Liubo Mountain!"

Su Han's mind raced, and he made a bold decision.

"Xue Qi, Bi Yao, use your full strength to hold it off and create an opportunity for me!"

"What are you going to do?" Lu Xueqi frowned.

"To catch bandits, first catch the ringleader! I'll try to get close to its head and attack its eyes or the inside of its mouth!"

Su Han said in a deep voice, the qingming sword floating in front of him, its tip spitting out sharp sword light.

Lu Xueqi gave Su Han a deep look, saying no more, simply pouring all her spiritual power into the tianya divine sword without reservation.

Bi Yao gritted her teeth, and the Sadness Flower's light intensified, even taking on a hint of blood red, clearly indicating the use of some secret technique.

"Ice Seal a Thousand Miles!"

Lu Xueqi's sword art activated, and an extremely cold Qi permeated the area. The sea surface began to freeze at a visible speed, attempting to restrict the Fuhai Python's movements.

The Fuhai Python's Demonic Qi surged around its body, shattering the ice, but its movements were ultimately slowed for an instant.

"Illusory Dream Realm!"

Bi Yao cast her spell, and countless illusory light figures appeared around the Fuhai Python, interfering with its Divine Sense judgment.

The Fuhai Python let out a confused low growl.

Now!

Su Han moved like an arrow released from a bowstring, shooting out from the spirit boat, not in a straight line, but using the air currents generated by the Fuhai Python's twisting body, like a ghost, he closed in on its massive body.

He stepped on the cold scales, climbing rapidly upwards.

The Fuhai Python sensed the "foreign object" on its body and twisted frantically, trying to shake Su Han off.

Su Han infused true essence into his feet, adhering tightly as if rooted, constantly changing position to avoid impacts.

He was getting closer and closer to that massive python head!

A fishy smell (stench) odor assailed him, and those cold, vertical pupils were almost within reach, filled with brutality and killing intent.

Su Han held his breath, his eyes as sharp as blades. Seizing the opportunity, the qingming sword let out a sharp whistle, and man and sword became one, transforming into a brilliant blue light that shot directly at the Fuhai Python's left eye!

This sword strike condensed all of Su Han's essence, Qi, and spirit at that moment: fast! Accurate! Ruthless!

The Fuhai Python felt a fatal threat and suddenly closed its eye, simultaneously tilting its head backward.

"Sizzle!"

The qingming sword failed to hit the eyeball but fiercely slashed across the Fuhai Python's eyelid, leaving a deep wound visible to the bone, and dark blue blood gushed out.

"Roar—!"

The Fuhai Python let out an earth-shattering wail; the intense pain sent it completely into a frenzy. (End of Chapter)
