Free Web NovelChapter 610: Chapter 610: Raging Waves (Part 5)
The thousands of bream controlled by the giant python actually have another name.
Killer Fish!
They have always followed this deceitful monster, feeding and breeding in the surrounding waters, with a ferocious temperament and a taste for flesh, their sharp teeth can bite through hard bones.
If someone inadvertently falls into the area where these killer fish are active, they will swarm in a very short period of time.
Leaving the unlucky victim nothing but a skeleton!
If not for the fact that these killer fish only follow the giant python and cannot leave its control range.
The entire Nu Tao River would become their hunting ground!
Yet under Zhang Yuan’s Water Control Kill, hundreds of killer fish instantly turned into mush.
But the tragic death of these creatures did not frighten their peers; instead, it provoked their bloodthirsty and violent nature, driving them to continue attacking Zhang Yuan recklessly.
Then they were crushed into powder by the water controlled by Zhang Yuan.
Masses of killer fish were drawn into this invisible flesh-grinding mill, drastically reducing the visibility in the surrounding waters.
At this moment, while still controlling the swarm of killer fish to besiege Zhang Yuan, the giant python launched a sudden counterattack.
It twisted its massive body in the water, with each scale on its body surface showing strange fluctuations, and the muscles beneath its skin membrane tremored violently, unleashing terrifying strength.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, a thick, long python tail whipped towards Zhang Yuan’s waist and abdomen at lightning speed!
This strike from the giant python had been gathering momentum for a long time, condensing all its strength, and its tail ignored the water’s resistance, striking with unthinkable speed.
Due to the strength and speed of the strike, the water through which the tail passed instantly boiled, creating countless rising bubbles!
Zhang Yuan, engulfed by the swarm of killer fish, felt a sudden terror in his heart, his exceptionally keen Divine Sense instantly perceiving the insidious surprise attack of this deceitful monster.
He didn’t hesitate for a moment, his body shot upwards suddenly.
At the moment Zhang Yuan rose up, a streak of dark light swept past his previous position.
A terrifying force followed.
Hundreds of killer fish in the surrounding waters suddenly exploded into masses of blood mist!
Though he narrowly avoided the sneak attack by the Deceit Python, Zhang Yuan was still affected by the force of the shock.
He was secretly startled.
Due to the massive death of the killer fish, Zhang Yuan couldn’t see the giant python just now, relying entirely on Divine Sense to lock onto and anticipate its actions.
If it had been any other Tier Six Martial Artist, even at peak level, there was absolutely no way to avoid this strike.
He Yuan has had no solution for it over the decades, and obviously, there is a reason!
But experiencing the strength of this deceitful python, Zhang Yuan not only didn’t feel any fear, but his fighting spirit surged.
With Zhang Yuan’s current level of cultivation, improving even a little is extremely difficult.
Only by experiencing a true life-and-death test, competing against a powerful opponent, can he truly unleash his potential.
To gain experience for breaking through to the Divine Realm!
Zhang Yuan steadied himself once more, then rushed toward the targeted position locked by his Divine Sense.
The Overlord Halberd in his hand unleashed a dazzling brilliance again.
And this light not only pierced through the turbid water but even reached above the river’s surface!
On the high platform, Wu Mingrui and Wu Ziyu exchanged glances.
They both thought Zhang Yuan was doomed, with no chance of survival.
Yet reality was greatly beyond everyone’s expectations!
After Zhang Yuan entered the water, an intense battle erupted below, with rising undercurrents and torrents, not only producing a multitude of bubbles but also mingling with streaks of blood-stained river water.
Everything proved that Zhang Yuan was not killed by the giant python.
The battle had only just begun!
"How, how is this possible?"
Wu Ziyu could hardly believe what his eyes were telling him, his perceptions completely upturned!
While Wu Mingrui’s gaze was deep: "We underestimated this one."
It’s well-known that the giant python in Nu Tao River has always been the major worry of the He Yuan Wu family.
Though the twice-monthly tributes could ensure this monstrous beast would not wreak havoc, its existence was like a blade suspended over the head of the Wu family.
It could fall at any moment!
Therefore, the Wu family continually sought a solution.
Zhang Yuan was merely a choice.
As Zhang Yuan himself surmised, Wu Mingrui mainly intended to use him to gain the support of the Mo family.
The strength and influence of the Mo family in Upper Scenic Celestial were unmatched by the Daqian Wu Clan.
Let alone the He Yuan Wu family.
If they could draw in the Daoist Soldiers to form the Exorcism and Demon Destruction Array, and with the joint effort of double-digit Tier Six experts, the confidence to eliminate this giant python would be much greater.
Afterward, the Wu family could join forces with the West Plain Dao Camp to open the shipping route in Liping Mountain.
A great undertaking could be achieved!
However, Wu Mingrui understood well that this was merely the ideal outcome.
Yet even if there was the slightest possibility, he was willing to invest resources to win over Zhang Yuan.
This Patriarch Wu never dreamed that Zhang Yuan would be so valiant!
Going alone underwater to duel the giant python—is that something a normal person would do?
If Zhang Yuan were a Divine Power, that would be one thing, but he had not reached such a high level, yet he was so brave!
Wu Mingrui’s gaze was fixed on the boiling bay.
He couldn’t see the battle underwater, yet his instincts told him that this Patriarch Wu, Zhang Yuan was truly not deliberately seeking death!
At this moment in the depths below, the battle between Zhang Yuan and the giant python reached a fevered pitch.
This deceitful monster’s body was covered with a thick layer of scales, not only extremely tough and solid but also coated with mucus.
Zhang Yuan infused the Overlord Halberd with Primordial True Gang, stabbing at it, finding it nearly impossible to penetrate this formidable defense, even slipping uncontrollably, leaving only a shallow mark on its surface.
To know, the Overlord Halberd is a High Tier Profound Soldier, capable of penetrating the protective armor of Tier Six experts, yet it couldn’t overcome this deceitful monster.
More terrifyingly, the python’s scales could self-repair.
Just after Zhang Yuan shattered a few scales with a burst of strength, the damaged area flashed with dark light, and the fallen python scales regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He maneuvered around the giant python, executing slashes, stabs, thrusts, and slices with the Overlord Halberd, yet none of these dealt greater damage than the initial attack that almost struck its throat.
And the giant python, entangled with Zhang Yuan, unleashed terrifying power.
It swam quickly back and forth, continuously stirring up surging undercurrents to hamper Zhang Yuan’s movements in the water.
Unexpectedly, its tail would suddenly strike heavily.
Zhang Yuan could dodge successfully countless times.
But should he fail even once and get hit, his Protective Armor would shatter on the spot.
Thus, while attacking, Zhang Yuan also had to guard against the opponent’s counterattacks.
Unable to fully unleash his strength!
