91: Colorful light flashes

"Senior Brother Li, stop joking."

A thick snake tail suddenly appeared behind Night Qianyu, striking directly towards Night Qianyu's head.

The tail emerged from underground, appearing abruptly and silently, yet its speed was incredibly swift, leaving Night Qianyu no time to react.

Li Daoxuan was already prepared and instinctively pulled Night Qianyu aside.

The tail brushed past Night Qianyu's head, and a sonic boom erupted, causing Night Qianyu to break out in a cold sweat.

"Hiss~ This is a Devouring Sky Python!" Night Qianyu exclaimed, turning to look.

Its massive body was like a small mountain, especially its ferocious head, cold eyes, chilling single horn, and dark scales covering its entire body, sending shivers down one's spine.

Night Qianyu also became serious; this was actually a Fifth-Stage Yao Beast, a Devouring Sky Python.

Night Qianyu was a Cultivator at the Void Refining Stage, with strength comparable to a Fifth-Stage Yao Beast.

However, if it came to a real fight, Night Qianyu felt he couldn't defeat it; its Aura was too strong.

"Senior Brother Li, let's attack together and take down this Yao Beast."

"Senior Brother, just attack. I'll cover you to prevent other Yao Beasts from ambushing you."

Night Qianyu: "......"

As the Devouring Sky Python appeared, the entire valley shook, and one Devouring Sky Python after another emerged, unsettling the Heavenly Dao Sect Disciples.

It turned out that the previous snake Yao Beasts were just bait; they were merely subordinate species of the Devouring Sky Python.

The real battle had just begun.

The Devouring Sky Python's size was much larger than other snakes, and the lowest cultivation of this group of Devouring Sky Pythons was a Second-Stage Yao Beast.

There were also many Third-Stage and Fourth-Stage Devouring Sky Pythons.

This group of Devouring Sky Pythons attacked the Heavenly Dao Sect Disciples in an organized and orderly manner, in batches.

These Geniuses were all struggling to cope, and from time to time, a few Disciples were sprayed with venom, or if they were unlucky, directly sent flying.

"Night Senior Brother, we can't hold on much longer, quickly send a distress signal!"

Night Qianyu was also not feeling well; he was currently only able to hold his own, but over time, defeat was inevitable.

If anyone was the most relaxed, it was probably only Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan directly summoned dozens of Clones, surrounding his main body, while the Clones desperately fended off the Devouring Sky Python's attacks.

Night Qianyu took a moment to pull out a Jade Talisman and threw it to Li Daoxuan.

"Senior Brother Li, quickly activate the Jade Talisman to call for help."

"Okay!" Li Daoxuan didn't hesitate; this group of people was still a bit too small to withstand the Devouring Sky Python's encirclement and needed more tool-people.

Buzz~ The Jade Talisman emitted a white light.

Night Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief; reinforcements would arrive if they held on a little longer.

Night Qianyu's peripheral vision swept across, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch; what did he see?

He saw the Clones around Li Daoxuan being eliminated one by one, but in the blink of an eye, dozens more appeared.

"Senior Brother Li, you have a lot of Clone Talismans. How about lending me some?"

"Night Senior Brother, my Clone Talismans can't defeat Fifth-Stage Yao Beasts."

Night Qianyu was careless and was directly struck by a Devouring Sky Python's tail, which coincidentally sent him flying directly towards Li Daoxuan's direction.

"Hey! Night Senior Brother, don't come over here!"

Bang~

"Cough, cough, cough~" Night Qianyu coughed as he climbed out of the deep pit, revealing a smile uglier than a cry.

"Senior Brother Li, you've really put us in a tough spot."

"How can you blame me?" Li Daoxuan firmly denied it.

Night Qianyu dragged Li Daoxuan into the battle with the Fifth-Stage Devouring Sky Python, and Li Daoxuan could only reluctantly participate.

However, Li Daoxuan always paid attention to the surrounding movements; he felt that this Fifth-Stage Devouring Sky Python was just cannon fodder.

Li Daoxuan recalled the trace of colorful light he had seen at the very beginning.

Li Daoxuan's participation made Night Qianyu feel a bit more relaxed, and dealing with the situation was no longer as strenuous.

Night Qianyu looked around and saw many Disciples injured and poisoned, feeling very anxious.

However, at this point, retreating would be difficult!

They could only hold their ground and wait for reinforcements.

"All Junior Brothers, form a battle array to face the enemy and protect yourselves. Our reinforcements will arrive soon."

"Yes!"

They had been overconfident at first, not expecting the Yao Beasts to play dirty tricks.

These Yao Beasts first feigned weakness, then launched a surprise attack.

Except for Li Daoxuan and Night Qianyu, the remaining Disciples gathered together, then formed a defensive array, protecting the injured Disciples.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but ask, "Night Senior Brother, the distress signal has been sent out for so long, why hasn't anyone come yet?"

"Is it reliable?"

"Don't worry, we've agreed, they should be here soon."

As they were speaking, Li Daoxuan inadvertently caught another glimpse of that fleeting colorful light.

"What is that?" Li Daoxuan murmured softly, feeling very curious.

Rumble~ A huge commotion erupted outside the valley, and everyone's hearts rejoiced, it seemed that reinforcements had arrived.

"Night Junior Brother, we're here, you must hold on."

"Ah! It's Senior Brother Ye!" The person who arrived was none other than Ye Bufan, leading a group of Disciples.

Ye Bufan's cultivation was even higher than Night Qianyu's, already at the Great Perfection of the Void Refining Stage, and he led his people in a surprise attack.

Ye Bufan then came to Night Qianyu's side and asked:

"Night Junior Brother, are you alright?"

"I'm not dead yet. Please Senior Brother, help me and let's deal with this Devouring Sky Python together."

"No problem."

Ye Bufan attacked, while Li Daoxuan took the opportunity to disengage from the battle and rushed in one direction.

The advantage of Divine Speed was evident here; he weaved through the snake swarm, constantly dodging attacks, his speed undiminished.

These guys still aren't retreating?

Li Daoxuan thought they would retreat, but he was overthinking it.

These tool-people are really useful.

However, with the arrival of reinforcements, the situation on the field subtly changed, from being passively beaten to holding off attacks, and occasionally even counterattacking.

The Fifth-Stage Devouring Sky Python fought fiercely with Ye Bufan and Night Qianyu; both of them could be said to be giving their all.

If they didn't use some trump cards, the two of them wouldn't be able to take down this Yao Beast for a while.

This Fifth-Stage Yao Beast actually withstood the combined attacks of the two and didn't fall into a disadvantage.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

In a hidden place, hissing sounds erupted, and another group of Devouring Sky Pythons joined the battle.

Li Daoxuan roamed around, directly swatting away any Devouring Sky Pythons that got in his way.

"Where did it go?"

"What exactly are you?"

Li Daoxuan seemed to be possessed, muttering incessantly, his Divine Sense constantly probing the surroundings.

Li Daoxuan searched around but found nothing, just as he was about to give up.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

A series of sounds different from the Devouring Sky Python's hissing caught Li Daoxuan's attention.

"Hahaha... It must be you. I'm going to see what kind of ghost you are!"

Li Daoxuan fully activated Divine Speed and rapidly moved in one direction.

"Oh my, good..."
