Chapter 250: Fierce Battle with the Evil Python!

Jiang Feng opened his eyes and found himself lying on a huge grassland.

He looked around; everywhere he saw were strange flowers and exotic grasses.

The Spiritual Energy in the air was so dense it was almost tangible.

"The Spiritual Energy in this place is way too abundant!"

Jiang Feng stood up; the distortion he had felt in the vortex moments ago had already vanished.

But soon, he frowned.

Clearly he and Long Bad Dao had jumped into the vortex one after the other, but now on the grassland only he was present, and Long Bad Dao was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Feng closed his eyes, circulated Spiritual Power, trying to sense the surroundings to see if he could locate Long Bad Dao's trace.

But the moment he released Spiritual Power, he felt an invisible resistance.

Spiritual Power could only spread to a scope of a few dozen zhang around his body; beyond that it was forcibly blocked and sent back, making it impossible to sense distant scenes.

"Here is not simple."

Jiang Feng's search yielded nothing, so he opened his eyes again.

Clearly, there was some special force inside the Wuzun Ruins that limited the detection of Spiritual Power.

He vaguely felt that this world seemed to be controlled by an unseen giant hand.

After a moment of thought, Jiang Feng stopped obsessing over Long Bad Dao's trail.

Although Long Bad Dao's temperament is erratic, his strength has also reached Grandmaster Fifth Rank, so self‑preservation should be fine.

The urgent priority is to first explore this area.

Jiang Feng determined the direction and walked toward the deep part of the grassland.

The grassland was enormous; after walking for about half an hour, the Spiritual Energy in the air grew even denser, and not far away Jiang Feng could hear the sound of flowing water.

His heart stirred, and he immediately quickened his steps toward the direction where the water sound came from.

After walking a bit more, the scene before his eyes opened up brightly.

He saw ahead a Spirit Spring about several dozen zhang wide.

In the center of the Spirit Spring, there was a roughly one‑zhang square Green Stone.

On the Green Stone, a strange flower was about to bloom.

The flower was entirely light purple, its petals layered, totaling Nine petals.

The bud was slightly swollen, clearly it would bloom soon.

"Nine Xuan Flower!"

Jiang Feng's eyes lit up as he recognized the origin of this flower.

Nine Xuan Flower is an extremely precious Medicine; after it matures, the consumer can quickly recover true qi.

For Cultivators of Grand Master level, it is considered a top‑tier Medicine.

He didn't expect to encounter such a treasure right after entering the ruins.

Jiang Feng was about to leap onto the Green Stone.

Suddenly, a sharp jolt struck his heart, and a strong sense of danger surged up.

"Not good!"

Jiang Feng subconsciously halted his steps, his gaze sharp as he looked toward the depths of the Spirit Spring.

"Splash!"

At that moment, the surface of the Spirit Spring suddenly erupted, and a massive black silhouette leapt out of the water, lunging toward Jiang Feng.

It turned out to be a huge black python!

The python's body was enormous, its length over ten zhang.

Its head was massive; on its triangular skull, a pair of lantern‑sized eyes flickered with fierce red light.

Jiang Feng instantly realized that the python was clearly the guardian of the Nine Xuan Flower.

Seeing this python's aura, it had actually reached Grand Master Peak strength!

Facing the charging python, Jiang Feng was not frightened at all; with a slight shift of his foot, his body instantly retreated backward.

"Boom!"

The python's massive body slammed heavily onto the spot where Jiang Feng had just stood, carving a huge pit in the ground.

Seeing its strike miss, it let out a deep roar, a strong gust of wind blowing toward Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng's gaze hardened, he circulated true qi, and delivered a fierce fist toward the python's tail.

"Bang!"

The fist collided heavily with the tail, producing a muffled thunderous sound.

Jiang Feng felt a massive force, his arm went numb, and his body involuntarily stepped back three paces.

And the python's tail was slightly deflected by the blow.

The python's missed strike made it even more angry; it roared again and lunged at Jiang Feng once more.

This time, it did not use its claws or tail, but opened its massive gaping maw, intending to swallow Jiang Feng whole.

Jiang Feng's gaze sharp, he sidestepped the python's gaping maw.

At the same time, his right hand formed a palm, gathering true qi, and struck forcefully at the python's neck.

"Poof!"

The palm wind whistled, slamming heavily onto the python's scales.

But the python's scales were incredibly hard; Jiang Feng's palm surprisingly could not break its defense?

"Are its scales this hard?"

Jiang Feng frowned.

The giant python seized the opportunity to turn around, its massive body coiling toward Jiang Feng, intending to entangle him.

Jiang Feng did not dare to be careless, his form moving like a phantom as he weaved between the python's body, continuously avoiding its coils.

The giant python, seeing that it could not deal with Jiang Feng on the Ground, suddenly turned and plunged into the Spirit Spring.

"Trying to run?"

Jiang Feng let out a cold snort, leapt forward, and also Jumping into the Spirit Spring.

As soon as he entered the water, Jiang Feng felt a massive resistance.

After the giant python entered the water, its speed became faster, its agility also Ascended greatly, and it was now extremely swift.

"Wha—!"

The giant python made a turn in the water and suddenly surged toward Jiang Feng.

At the same time it raised a huge wave, slamming it toward Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng circulated his true Qi in the water, forming a protective body shield that blocked the wave's impact.

Yet before he could steady his stance, the giant python had already rushed to his front, its massive head crashing down.

In the water, the giant python's advantage was fully revealed.

Utilizing the water current's power, the monster's attack speed and strength both Ascended considerably.

Meanwhile, Jiang Feng was subject to the water's Limit, his movements becoming somewhat sluggish.

Soon, Jiang Feng fell into a disadvantage.

The giant python continuously launched attacks, each strike lethal.

Jiang Feng could only keep dodging, never managing to inflict any substantive Injury on the giant python.

"Continuing like this won't work!"

Jiang Feng thought silently to himself.

He must find a way to break this situation, or else he will eventually be exhausted to death by the giant python.

At that moment, the giant python launched another attack, its massive body suddenly coiling around, tightly binding Jiang Feng.

The python's body tightened further, its overwhelming force making Jiang Feng feel that Bone was cracking, and Breath became difficult.

"Hmph!"

A flash of fierce light flickered in Jiang Feng's eyes.

He suddenly circulated his internal true Qi, his whole body erupting with The Golden Light, the Qi surging like a tide toward the entangled area.

Yet the giant python's strength was too great; the python's body not only failed to be pried open, but tightened even more.

The giant python, seeing Jiang Feng entangled, opened its blood‑filled maw and lunged at Jiang Feng's head.

In the critical moment, Jiang Feng took a deep Breath, condensing his internal Qi onto his right index Finger, where a sharp golden ray of light flared.

"Break it for me!"

Jiang Feng let out a low shout, and the Fingers thrust sharply toward the gaps in the giant python's scales.

"Pfft!"

The golden Qi pierced the scale gaps, stabbing into the giant python's interior.

"Sss!"

The giant python let out a Suffering roar, its body thrashing violently, and the coiling force weakened considerably.

Jiang Feng seized the opportunity, suddenly exerted force to the giant python's side.

He struck the giant python's seven‑inch spot with a palm.

The seven‑inch spot is a vital point for serpents, and the giant python is no exception.

"Bang!"

This palm, imbued with Jiang Feng's entire true Qi, heavily struck the giant python's seven‑inch spot.

The giant python's body suddenly stiffened, the ferocious light in its eyes instantly dimming, its massive form beginning to convulse violently.

Jiang Feng gave it no chance to recover, delivering several consecutive palms, all striking the giant python's seven‑inch spot.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

Each palm downwards produced the sound of Bone shattering.

Finally, the giant python's body ceased convulsing, its massive form slowly sinking into the bottom of the Spirit Spring, completely losing its vitality.

A stream of black blood gushed from the giant python's wound, staining the surrounding spring water red.

Jiang Feng slowly floated to the surface, exhaled a puff of murky Breath, a hint of fatigue appearing on his face.

He flicked the water droplets from his body, about to pluck the soon‑to‑bloom Nine Xuan Flower.

Yet at that moment, a corner of Jiang Feng's eye caught a black shadow darting out of the nearby dense forest like a phantom.

It rushed straight toward the Nine Xuan Flower at the center of the Spirit Spring.

Obviously, this person had been watching from the side in secret, waiting for Jiang Feng to slay the giant python and expend great effort, intending to reap the fisherman's profit and snatch the Nine Xuan Flower!

A flash of cold intent flickered in Jiang Feng's eyes, and he shouted loudly at the black shadow.

"Sir, aren't you being a bit uncouth? Don't you at least say hello before snatching someone's chance?"
