112: Chapter 112 Working Together to Slay the Flame Python

With an extremely dull, heavy boom, the protective spiritual light—strong enough to withstand a full-force strike from a Late Stage Core Formation Cultivator—

actually shattered like glass struck by a giant hammer, its surface instantly covered in spiderweb-like cracks as its light dimmed sharply!

"What?! How is this possible!"

For the first time, a look of shock appeared within the vertical pupils of the Fire Flame Python.

The power of this punch completely exceeded its understanding of the 'Early Stage Core Formation'!

Before it could react, Ye Xiaoyao's fists flew like the wind, with the second and third punches already striking in succession!

“Bang! Bang!”

The protective spiritual light shattered at the sound, dissipating into a sky full of light specks!

Simultaneously, Ji Chanxi's pitch-black long whip transformed into countless whip shadows, like venomous snakes seeking prey, coiling toward the Fire Flame Python's limb joints.

Pei Yuhan's moon-white sword light was like the Heavenly River hanging upside down, carrying a chilling and peerless Sword Intent as it aimed straight for its vital throat!

Under the pincer attack from three sides, the Fire Flame Python finally cast aside all its contempt. With a roar, its innate Spell erupted.

Crimson flames swept out like a raging tide, temporarily forcing back the two women's attacks. At the same time, its body retreated rapidly, attempting to put distance between itself and Ye Xiaoyao.

It had realized that this green-robed kid's physical strength was actually terrifying enough to threaten its true body!

It absolutely could not let him get close!

However, Ye Xiaoyao followed it like a shadow. Pushing his Pure Yang Power to the limit, his speed was not slow at all as he pursued relentlessly.

The Fire Flame Python was both shocked and enraged. Having only recently transformed, it was difficult to exert its full strength in human form.

Seeing Ye Xiaoyao closing in again, it did not hesitate to let out a deafening roar toward the sky!

The crimson light surged violently as the middle-aged man's form twisted and expanded like a melting wax statue.

In the blink of an eye, a ferocious giant python appeared in his place, over ten zhang long with crimson scales all over its body, a single horn on its head, and eyes like lanterns!

The true form of the Fourth-Order Demonic Beast reappeared!

However, how could Ye Xiaoyao and the other two give it a chance to catch its breath?

"Do it!"

Ye Xiaoyao gave a clear shout, no longer fighting bare-handed.

With a thought, a long saber appeared in his hand. It was dark red throughout, its blade engraved with flame patterns, emitting a scorching Spiritual Pressure.

It was precisely the high-grade offensive Magic Treasure, the 'sun burning saber', which he could finally utilize to its full power after reaching Core Formation!

The spiritual light on Ji Chanxi's pitch-black long whip flourished, and fine, cold runes emerged on the whip's body, creating ghost-like wails as it lashed out.

Pei Yuhan's moon-white long sword sent Sword Qi soaring into the sky, the Sword Intent condensed as if it were physical, seemingly able to sever all illusions.

One saber, one whip, and one sword!

Three attacks with vastly different attributes, yet equally sharp and peerless, tore through the air with killing intent.

From three tricky angles, they simultaneously blasted toward the Fire Flame Python that had revealed its true form!

The Fire Flame Python coiled into a snake formation, its crimson Demon Power erupting like a volcano and condensing into thick flame armor.

Its giant mouth opened, spitting out a crimson stream of flame capable of melting metal and stone, while its thick tail swept across like a steel whip in an attempt to defend.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”

Violent explosions rang out continuously as Spiritual Qi and Demon Power collided frantically.

The dense forest was instantly cleared into a massive open space; the ground was charred and cracked, and dust mixed with flames soared into the sky.

Ye Xiaoyao's sun burning saber slashed against the flame armor. The Pure Yang Power and the fire-attribute Demon Power clashed fiercely, with the former faintly suppressing the latter as the blade edge tore open a rift.

Ji Chanxi's long whip lashed trickily near the rift, allowing cold power to seep inside.

Pei Yuhan's sword light accurately pierced toward the Fire Flame Python's relatively fragile seven-inch spot!

The Fire Flame Python roared in pain repeatedly. It hadn't expected that the combined offensive of these three 'juniors' would be so sharp and difficult to deal with.

Especially that green-robed kid's Pure Yang Power, which actually caused the Demon Power within its body to feel slightly sluggish!

Even more terrifying was the kid's physical strength. After several times of clashing head-on with its tail sweeps, he only retreated slightly, while the counter-shock made its tail go numb!

The battle fell into a stalemate, but the Fire Flame Python was clearly at a disadvantage.

It had just transformed, its Realm was not yet stable, and the consumption of its innate Divine Ability was enormous. It was far less durable than a truly veteran Fourth-Order Demonic Beast.

After dozens of breaths, the flame armor on the Fire Flame Python's body had shattered in many places, its scales were flying, and it was dripping with blood.

A hint of fear and a desire to retreat finally appeared in its eyes.

"Now is the time!"

Ye Xiaoyao spotted a flaw when it failed to recover its breath in time, and a sharp light exploded in his eyes.

Holding the sun burning saber high above his head, he poured all his Pure Yang Power into it without reservation. The blade instantly became as bright as a blazing sun!

"Pure Yang · Sky-Rending Slash!"

A scorching golden saber energy spanned the heavens and earth, carrying a sharpness that could tear through anything and a heat that could incinerate all things.

It seemed to split space itself as it slashed down furiously toward the Fire Flame Python's massive head!

Simultaneously, Ji Chanxi's long whip coiled like a spirit snake around the Fire Flame Python's retreating form, its cold power penetrating frantically to slow its movements.

Pei Yuhan merged her person and sword into one, transforming into an extremely brilliant moon-white meteor that pierced straight toward the location of its reverse scale!

"No—!!!"

The Fire Flame Python let out a desperate and unwilling roar, desperately stirring its remaining Demon Power as the crimson flames erupted surged like a final radiance before death.

However, all resistance appeared futile before the three attacks that condensed the trio's strongest power.

The golden saber energy was the first to strike, breaking through the flames and hacking fiercely into the Fire Flame Python's head!

The moon-white sword light followed closely behind, accurately piercing into the gap of the reverse scale, and the Sword Qi burst forth!

The cold whip force completely locked down its final struggle.

“Boom!!!”

The massive crimson python body twitched violently before finally crashing to the ground, shaking the earth and mountains as blood gushed out like a fountain, staining a large area of land red.

The light in those lantern-sized vertical pupils dimmed rapidly and finally extinguished completely.

The Fourth Tier Initial Stage Yao Beast, the Fire Flame Python, was slain!

Ye Xiaoyao, Ji Chanxi, and Pei Yuhan slowly descended and stood beside the giant python's corpse.

Their breathing was somewhat labored, but their eyes were filled with the glow of victory.

Ye Xiaoyao looked at the massive Yao Beast corpse, especially sensing the demon core within its head that emitted astonishing fire-attribute Demon Power, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's finally settled."

He turned his head to look at Ji Chanxi, his eyes full of the joy and tenderness of their reunion.

"Chaner, I made you worry."

Ji Chanxi's eyes were slightly red as she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly:

"Husband! It's good that you're alright!"

Pei Yuhan silently retracted her long sword from the side. Looking at the two embracing, her gaze was complex and difficult to discern.

She turned her face away and began to survey the surroundings, as if studying how to leave this Lesser Grotto-Heaven.

Only her slightly reddened earlobes betrayed a hint of unrest in her heart.

Ye Xiaoyao gently patted Ji Chanxi's beautiful back, then released her and looked at Pei Yuhan, just about to say something.

Pei Yuhan turned her head first. Her cool face bore no expression, and her tone was flat as she said:

"Let's deal with this Yao Beast first. A Rank Four demon core is worth quite a lot,

and the python skin, tendons, blood, and the single horn are all excellent Materials."

Ye Xiaoyao nodded, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart.

Now was indeed not the right time for a conversation.

He walked to the Fire Flame Python's massive head and swung the sun burning saber, breaking open the skull.

A fist-sized, crimson-as-fire, smooth demon core that seemed to have magma flowing inside flew into his hand.

The Rank Four demon core felt warm and scorching in his hand, containing immense energy.

Although this experiential journey had been full of twists and turns, the harvest seemed to far exceed expectations.

Holding the demon core, he looked at the two world-toppling beauties beside him and asked with a smile:

"How should the three of us distribute this Rank Four demon core and the other Materials?"
