God Emperor

Shen Yuan's ancient sword was so sharp that it pierced the Black Wind Python's protective Tiangang in just an instant, passed through the teeth and snake letters, and flew into the Black Wind Python's belly.

The black wind giant python was in pain, its body rolled violently, and it made a strange howling sound from its mouth.

Waves of wind-attributed Qi power surged out of its body and turned into wind blades, flying in all directions.

The waves on the water became more turbulent.

Zhang Ruochen stood in the storm, as calm as water, appearing untroubled.

"Swish!"

Under Zhang Ruochen's control, Shen Yuan's ancient sword cut off all the internal organs of the Black Wind Python. With a piece of blood, it flew out of the Black Wind Python's mouth again and fell into Zhang Ruochen's hands.

"Boom!"

The body of the Black Wind Python fell heavily, causing a huge splash of water.

A moment later, a huge corpse surfaced, more than seventy meters long. The body was frighteningly thick and rugged. Every scale seemed to be made of black iron, reflecting a metallic luster.

The entire water area was dyed red with blood, exuding a strong bloody smell.

If Zhang Ruochen hadn't possessed Shen Yuan's Ancient Sword and the realm of the sword's transparent heart, it would not have been easy to kill the Black Wind Python.

Just its scales cannot be broken open by ordinary real weapons.

This fourth-level medium-level beast finally died under Zhang Ruochen's sword. From then on, the waters surrounding it for hundreds of miles would be much more peaceful.

Zhang Ruochen stood on tiptoes on the water, and with his body as light as a swallow, he leaped up, spanning a distance of tens of feet, and landed lightly on the body of the black wind python.

There are many treasures on the black wind python, such as snake skin, which can be used to make soft armor.

Another example is snake fangs, which can be used to refine a poisonous weapon.

Even the flesh and blood of the black wind giant python will be given to warriors after processing, which can increase the warrior's physique and enhance the warrior's ability to resist poison.

However, for Zhang Ruochen, although the snake skin, snake teeth, and snake meat of the Black Wind Python are all good things, he no longer likes them.

You know, he has millions of spiritual crystals on his body now. What kind of treasure can't he buy?

The higher the cultivation level, the more wealth, and the higher the horizons.

Of course, there was something about the black wind giant python that Zhang Ruochen liked.

For example, snake gallbladder

"Chi!"

Zhang Ruochen carefully cut open the snake skin and dug out a three-color snake gallbladder and a piece of spiritual meat weighing more than two hundred kilograms.

A rich fragrance emanates from the spiritual flesh, like a flesh-and-blood elixir. Just one whiff makes people feel refreshed.

"The fourth-level medium savage beast is many times more powerful than the lower-level savage beast of the fourth level. Its spiritual flesh is a very nourishing food."

The black wind giant python is almost equivalent to the strength of a warrior in the late Tianji realm or a small Tianji realm. It is naturally a very powerful savage beast.

Even though it only has more than two hundred kilograms of spiritual flesh, its value is dozens of times more precious than the entire body of flesh and blood of the Black Wind Python.

Even if a warrior in the early stage of Tianji Realm takes it, there are many benefits.

Zhang Ruochen divided the spirit flesh into ten parts, put each into ten jade containers, and carefully put them away.

Then, he stared at the fist-sized snake gallbladder, his eyes lit up, and he was even more excited than when he looked at the piece of spiritual flesh just now.

The snake gallbladder appears in three colors: black, white, and yellow.

"Sancai, this giant black wind python has been practicing for three hundred years. Its snake gallbladder is comparable to a six-hundred-year-old elixir. What a good thing!"

Putting away the snake gallbladder, Zhang Ruochen returned to the shore.

He raised his head and looked at the sky.

As the sun sets, the sky seems to be burning with flames, and even the water surface turns golden.

"It seems we can't make it to the City of Death today."

Zhang Ruochen is not in a hurry. Even if he wants to open the Underwater Dragon Palace, he is not in a hurry. You’ve been waiting for three months and you’re still anxious for one night?

"Tonight, let's refine the three-color snake gallbladder first and see how much cultivation can be improved."

Zhang Ruochen found a rather hidden valley and set up a fire.

He sat next to the fire, took out the three-color snake gallbladder, detoxified it, took it into his mouth, and started refining it.

The energy contained in the three-color snake gallbladder was very cold. Zhang Ruochen felt as if he had swallowed a piece of black ice. Fortunately, he had refined many ice vein pills before, so he could easily withstand the cold air.

While refining the three-color snake gallbladder, Zhang Ruochen also caught the cold power of the three-color snake gallbladder and began to practice the five sword waves in his right hand.

"Taiyin Vein Sword Wave!"

Zhang Ruochen's thumb turned into a sword and he pointed it out quickly.

"Wow!"

The surrounding air suddenly became cold.

A light blue sword wave flew out from the thumb and hit the stone wall behind the valley. With a bang, a huge crater with a diameter of three meters was left on the stone wall, as if it had been hit by a meteorite.

The surrounding stone walls cracked, making a "chichi" sound, and were sealed by a layer of ice.

The "Taiyin Vein Sword Wave" on the left thumb has officially reached the level of Xiaocheng.

"Tai Vein Sword Wave!"

Zhang Ruochen's fingerprints changed and he pointed with his right index finger.

A sword energy flew out from his fingertips, leaving an ice path on the ground.

"boom!"

A huge pit appeared again on the stone wall, and the destructive power it caused was almost the same as the previous sword wave.

Zhang Ruochen took action again. This time, he held back his index finger and thumb, leaving only the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger of his right hand.

Three fingers, type at the same time.

"Sword wave in the spiritual veins!"

"Taiyuan Vein Sword Wave!"

"Shaoyue Pulse Sword Wave!"

The three sword energies flew out almost at the same time, leaving three large craters on the stone wall in the distance again.

Two of the large craters were the same size as the previous two craters. Only the destructive power caused by the "Shaoyue Vein Sword Wave" only left a small crater with a diameter of one meter on the stone wall.

"The snake gallbladder of the Black Wind Python is indeed a good thing. It actually helped me practice the Taiyin Vein Sword Wave, Taiyin Vein Sword Wave, Middle Spirit Vein Sword Wave, and Taiyuan Vein Sword Wave to a small level at the same time. The only thing left is the Shaoyue Vein Sword Wave." Jianbo is still at the entry level."

Zhang Ruochen was still quite satisfied. Before coming to Tongminghe, he never thought that he would be able to practice four sword waves to a small level in a short period of time.

The power of the sword wave that has reached the Xiaocheng realm has increased several times.

After refining the three-color snake gallbladder, Zhang Ruochen felt that his martial arts cultivation had improved a lot, and he was already very close to the peak of the Earthly Realm.

In addition, even his eyes, ears, and mental strength have been slightly improved, his five senses are sharp, and the whole world has become clearer.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Ruochen suddenly woke up from his practice. His ears twitched slightly and he muttered to himself: "We are actually surrounded! Or are we being chased by them? I don't know which side they are from?"

He had heard the other party's footsteps, breathing, and even the sound of his heartbeat. Although the enemies are still far away from him, Zhang Ruochen already knows them well.

Among the enemies in the darkness, some of them were quite powerful, even a bit more powerful than Zhang Ruochen now. Only by using all his trump cards could Zhang Ruochen defeat them.

The powerful enemy gradually approached, but Zhang Ruochen still seemed very calm. He picked up branches on the ground and added firewood to the fire.

"Pop!"

The firewood crackled slightly and spattered sparks.

"rustle!"

One foot deep from the ground, a metal whip full of sharp barbs, like a metal snake, surged forward and rushed towards Zhang Ruochen.

Just when the metal whip was still three meters away from Zhang Ruochen, it rushed out from the ground with a "swish" sound, holding barbs, spinning continuously, and wrapped around Zhang Ruochen's neck.

The tip of the metal whip is a three-inch long spike, which emits purple light and is obviously quenched with poison.

Zhang Ruochen curled his lips, grabbed a branch, and held it between his two fingers.

The spiritual fire energy spit out from the fingertips, completely wrapped the branch, and struck the long metal whip.

"Ding!"

The branches filled with spiritual fire accurately hit the metal whip four feet away, dispersing the true energy contained in the metal whip.

An instant later, the metal whip flew up again, making a metallic sound of "swish", and hit Zhang Ruochen's vest.

At the same time, the owner of the metal whip appeared and flew out of the darkness.

It was a woman who looked to be almost thirty years old. She was wearing golden armor that tightly wrapped her chest and hips, but exposed her slender white waist and legs.

She made a squealing sound from her mouth, and like a phantom, she kept hitting the metal whip, performing a set of exquisite whip techniques, completely wrapping Zhang Ruochen within the range of the whip.

The entire valley is filled with flying golden light.

Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged on the ground, looking very carefree and freehand. He kept hitting the branches, and every time he could accurately knock back the metal whip.

"call out!"

Suddenly, a flaming arrow holding the tail of a phoenix flew out of the darkness in the distance and hit Zhang Ruochen.

In just the blink of an eye, the flaming arrow traversed a distance of more than ten miles, flew into the valley, and hit Zhang Ruochen's eyebrows accurately.

An arrow can be shot more than ten miles without losing its power. The opponent is definitely a top archery master. Not only his arm strength is amazing, but his eyesight is not comparable to that of ordinary warriors.

Zhang Ruochen's eyes darkened and he immediately grabbed the hilt of Shen Yuan's ancient sword.

"Wow!"

The ancient sword left its sheath and pulled out a brilliant sword light, forming a crescent-shaped sword energy with a diameter of more than ten meters in mid-air.

"boom!"

The flaming arrow holding the phoenix's tail collided with the sword energy and made a loud noise, shaking the spiritual energy in the entire valley violently.

The Phoenix Feather Arrow exploded immediately and turned into a large rain of fire, shooting out in all directions.

The woman holding a metal whip immediately retreated to avoid the impact of the rain of fire.

The fire rain naturally flew towards Zhang Ruochen.

But when he was still one meter away from Zhang Ruochen, he was blocked by a layer of Qi shield, so all the fire rain fell to the ground and turned into grains of iron sand.

"Uh-huh!"

A man holding a large red bow and carrying a quiver, like a big bird, also flew out of the darkness.
