At this moment, the large, purple python saw Li Yunjing, a living person, and immediately raised its body to launch an attack.
The python opened its mouth wide, tongue flicking, and suddenly, a thick, black-as-ink smoke sprayed out, scattering toward Li Yunjing!
This smoke was filled with highly toxic venom.
The python had already gained sentience and was capable of cultivation; its venom had started to vaporize, making it immensely powerful.
In the Southern Heaven Continent, the Demon Race was a massive, formidable coalition with hundreds of thousands of classifications.
The Southern Heaven Continent used to be a wild land rampant with demon fiends.
The Human Race was just one among hundreds of thousands of races, and they were exceedingly weak, struggling bitterly.
However, the Human Race was uniquely advantaged, making cultivation incredibly efficient. Through long years of effort, they managed to slay demons and fiends, establishing the current territory of the Human Race.
Now, the mainstream in the Southern Heaven Continent is the Human Race.
Nevertheless, the Demon Race’s strength remains substantial, though they cannot compare to the hegemon sects like Shenxiao Dao Sect.
To prevent the Demon Race from rising again, every few years, numerous hegemon sects join forces to hunt and kill demon fiends in the Southern Heaven Continent.
However, the Demon Race’s numbers are overwhelming, and they live in extremely harsh environments.
Human cultivators can hardly completely crush the Demon Race, only containing their numbers within a limited range, preventing their expansion.
Of course, the Demon Race wouldn’t stand idly by as the Human Race hunts them; they frequently launch beast tide attacks in retaliation.
The two sides have reached a balanced stage.
Many wild beasts, when given the chance, can awaken ancient memories within their bloodline and then cultivate into demon beasts.
The python in front, along with the giant tiger Li Yunjing had just killed, is a result of this process.
Becoming a Tier One demon beast is merely the lowest existence.
In the Youlan Mountain Range, there are even great demons comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm, which have prevented the Human Race from conquering the Youlan Mountain Range.
Historical records show that there have been individuals in the Nascent Soul Realm from the Shenxiao Dao Sect who died within the Youlan Mountain Range.
The depths of the Youlan Mountain Range remain a forbidden zone for the Human Race.
Fortunately, Li Yunjing doesn’t need to enter the deepest parts of the mountain; he only has to reach the location of the Celestial Thunder Stone Mine.
Facing the attack of the venomous smoke, Li Yunjing’s body shook with mana, forming a five-colored light shield that enveloped his entire body.
Immediately after, Li Yunjing’s hands split apart, forming two long snakes, one of water and one of fire, condensed from mana, which launched toward the python to bite!
The python suddenly saw its "kind," becoming startled. Its eyes showed confusion as it wondered how these two "kind" had appeared.
A Tier One demon beast doesn’t possess high intelligence.
However, at Tier Two, demon beasts become indistinguishable from the Human Race in terms of intelligence.
At that stage, dealing with demon beasts becomes incredibly difficult; ambushing a Tier Two demon beast requires meticulous planning, or they will never fall for it.
Seeing the Purple Qilin Python stunned, the united water and fire displayed formidable power, continuously attacking it.
For safety, Li Yunjing’s hand produced a "Breaking Gang Spear"; caution is essential when facing venomous demon beasts!
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
With the weapon in hand, Li Yunjing’s power surged even stronger.
The "Breaking Gang Spear" combined with the attack of the "Water and Fire United" magic, instantly left over ten blood holes on the python!
"Hiss...hiss...hiss..." the python hissed in pain. At this moment, it realized the immense strength of the human in front of it and tried to flee.
"You brute! You come and go as you please?"
Li Yunjing sneered continuously, his speed far outpacing the Purple Qilin Python.
The Purple Qilin Python turned and fled toward the depths of the Youlan Mountain Range, crashing through countless tall trees, breaking them into pieces.
Li Yunjing chased close behind the Purple Qilin Python, continuously leaving blood holes with the "Breaking Gang Spear" on its thick trunk-like body.
The python’s blood flowed, leaving long trails of blood stains along the way.
Yet, the python showed no signs of weakening, proving the tenacity of its life power.
Li Yunjing wasn’t anxious; he chased the python, continuously bleeding it. Eventually, the python would collapse.
This is worth thousands of Low Grade Spirit Stones!
Since he encountered it, Li Yunjing didn’t want to miss out.
After fleeing for three miles, the Purple Qilin Python saw that Li Yunjing was following it closely. Realizing the situation was unfavorable, it tried to retaliate several times with venomous smoke.
Li Yunjing had already prepared for this, and he wouldn’t be harmed.
His movement was ghostly.
After following the Purple Qilin Python for five miles, the python finally exhausted its strength, unable to struggle anymore. Li Yunjing pierced its head with a spear, slaying it over a boulder.
Skinning, deboning, dissecting the body, Li Yunjing was skilled and experienced.
Every cultivator is an excellent butcher and doctor, with profound expertise in dissecting demon beasts and storing the essence of their bodies.
Even significant figures like Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao from illustrious families have undergone this training; no matter how bloody the scene, it’s nothing to a cultivator.
In just a quarter-hour, the five-zhang-long giant snake was fully dissected and packed into two storage bags.
As Li Yunjing intended to return to collect the body of the striped giant tiger, suddenly, in the mountains and forests, "Woo woo woo..." wolf pack howls echoed.
The sound lasted for a quarter-hour, surging and falling, with no pause, causing Li Yunjing’s expression to change drastically.
