336: Chapter 336 Fierce Battle in the Stone Forest

A flash of white light streaked past as Nie Ning knocked Xiao Guang aside at extreme speed, barely preventing him from being swallowed whole by the Wimms Giant Python.

Meanwhile, the sorcery in the sky continued without pause, falling from the heavens like raindrops.

The frenzied Wimms Giant Python didn't go after Nie Ning and Xiao Guang; instead, it charged in the opposite direction.

Braving various sorceries, the Wimms Giant Python continued forward, and after smashing several stone pillars, it finally found the petty clown hiding in the shadows.

It was a bizarre humanoid creature with many dark red tentacles.

A Corrupted Wizard!

After much consideration, Nie Ning finally used Assisting Evil to bring it under his control.

The reason was simple: he needed a combatant who could help him hunt monsters.

What made a Corruptor special was the Power of Corruption, which caused any attacked creature to be tainted by a corruptive aura, leading to the corruption and infection of their flesh or even inanimate objects.

The Human-Faced Balloon and the Jerky Bear Head were both like this.

Especially the Jerky Bear Head; the aura it emitted was already dense enough to directly affect a Transcendent.

Almost every ability plundered from a Corruptor was a weapon of mass destruction.

A single moment of carelessness could result in a catastrophe.

Nie Ning had no intention of turning this world into a playground for Corruptors, so he naturally wouldn't go out of his way to cause corruption hazards.

Just like Sensen back then, who had nearly caused a massive disaster.

Given Sensen's spreading speed at the time, it would have only gotten faster and faster, and that mountain range would have eventually turned into a corrupted world.

To prevent such an occurrence, and because Nie Ning needed the materials from the exotic beasts, he rarely used the Jerky Bear Head or the Human-Faced Balloon to help him fight unless it was a critical moment.

But the Corrupted Wizard was different.

The Corrupted Wizard could cast spells normally, and even more miraculously, they didn't carry the Power of Corruption; its multiple spellcasting trait essentially turned it into a humanoid turret.

The only downside was likely the need to hunt down powerful wizards.

Otherwise, if it relied solely on level suppression, its own strength couldn't be fully unleashed.

...

The moment the Wimms Giant Python saw the Corrupted Wizard, its body came to an uncontrollable, sudden halt.

It reared up, its massive eyes filled with vigilance and wariness.

Every exotic beast possessed a very strong sense of danger.

Although it could see the other's weakness, the Wimms Giant Python felt as if it were facing a natural predator when looking at this bizarre humanoid creature.

However, while the Wimms Giant Python didn't dare to touch the Corrupted Wizard, that didn't mean it couldn't cause it harm.

The Wimms Giant Python opened its bloody maw, and a large amount of green mucus sprayed out.

The splashing green mucus showered the ground, even corroding and piercing through stones.

As one of the very few pythons with venomous capabilities, the Wimms Giant Python's corrosive mucus had a corrosive effect on almost everything.

The dark red tubes behind the Corrupted Wizard swayed slightly, and in an instant, over a dozen different types of shield barriers blocked its front.

Although its strength was vastly inferior to the Wimms Giant Python, such a large number of protective barriers still blocked the corrosive mucus for it.

With its barriers almost entirely shattered, the Corrupted Wizard immediately flew into the air to evade, while simultaneously controlling a barrage of sorceries to strike at the Wimms Giant Python again.

The Wimms Giant Python was becoming increasingly annoyed.

With a swing of its thick tail, it hurled the shattered stone pillars toward the Corrupted Wizard.

The Corrupted Wizard did not dodge, and its body was smashed into the ground by the stone pillars, yet the sorceries it released showed no signs of stopping.

While the Wimms Giant Python was distracted by the Corrupted Wizard, Nie Ning had already moved behind it.

As two god-forbidden rings opened in front of Nie Ning, a blue magic circle emerged in the center of the superimposed rings.

Rainstorm Condensation Technique!

With the enhancement of the Power of Extreme Ice, a large number of ice spikes shot out from the god-forbidden rings.

Everywhere the ice spikes passed, everything was frozen; in just a few moments, the Wimms Giant Python was frozen into a massive ice sculpture.

But the Wimms Giant Python was, after all, an exotic beast on the verge of advancement, and the power contained within its body was incredibly formidable.

As the Wimms Giant Python exerted its strength, cracks appeared in the ice layer on its surface, but under the continuous assault of the ice spikes, the two sides fell into a temporary stalemate.

At that moment, the Wimms Giant Python suddenly exerted its power, its massive mouth opening as the ice blocks restraining its upper body completely shattered.

Just then, a white light flashed behind Nie Ning.

Luster condensed in the mouth of Xiao Guang, who had been accumulating power for a long time, and he spat out a white pillar of light that submerged the Wimms Giant Python.

When the terrifying white pillar of light slowly dissipated, the Wimms Giant Python was smoking all over, more than half of the scales on its body were shattered, and even one of its eyes had burst during the energy impact.

But after all, it was an exotic beast whose physical body had reached the fifth rank; its powerful physique allowed it to withstand this wave of attacks.

The furious Wimms Giant Python opened its bloody maw, and a large amount of green mucus sprayed toward Nie Ning and Xiao Guang like a tide.

Seeing this, Nie Ning quickly summoned the xielin turtle shield to protect himself.

Then, with a flap of his Light Feathers, he moved to Xiao Guang's side at extreme speed.

Since the previous attack had overextended his body, Xiao Guang was now showing signs of fatigue.

Nie Ning handed the xielin turtle shield to Xiao Guang, and dots of white light flickered on the surface of his own body, which then quickly condensed into a humanoid light spirit nearly ten meters tall.

It was still the Light-Shadow Fox Spirit Avatar.

Nie Ning held the xueyan bladeless before him, and the Light-Shadow Avatar raised a light blade several meters long to cleave through the green mucus, striking down at the Wimms Giant Python's head.

Now that the Wimms Giant Python was severely wounded, it naturally didn't dare to recklessly tank Nie Ning's attack.

While closing its mouth, its writhing body coiled around the Light-Shadow Avatar, clearly intending to use its old trick of strangling Nie Ning.

Seeing the Wimms Giant Python approach was exactly what Nie Ning wanted.

As the god-forbidden ring slowly rotated at the hilt of the xueyan bladeless, terrifying energy was injected into the blade.

The Wimms Giant Python sensed danger and couldn't help but hesitate between fleeing or continuing to fight to the death.

Looking at the flickering Light-Shadow Avatar, the Wimms Giant Python revealed its true ferocity, its eyes gleaming with a savage light as it increased the strength of its constriction.

But clearly, Nie Ning was faster.

The Light-Shadow Avatar suddenly exploded into points of starlight, and Nie Ning slashed out with the xueyan bladeless.

A three-meter light blade carrying white electric arcs flew out, reaching the Wimms Giant Python's head in an instant.

Perhaps knowing it couldn't escape, the Wimms Giant Python bit down on the white blade qi, but its body was pushed back by the impact force of the blade qi.

'Boom!'

An explosion occurred in the mouth of the Wimms Giant Python while it was mid-air.

Its zhang-long fangs were all blown away by the terrifying explosive energy, and even the tongue in its mouth was shredded.

The moment the Wimms Giant Python's mouth was blown open, a streak of light followed closely behind and charged into its mouth.

...
