385 Zhao Chen’s Rescue

The Three-clawed Golden Dragon dove again, and this time, it managed to severely injure the Violet Astral Wolf. Its claws pierced through its abdomen, leaving four bloody holes.

The wolf’s intestines spilled out. A vital organ had been destroyed, and the Violet Astral Wolf had completely lost its ability to resist.

“F*ck! His dragon is that terrifying?” Xia’er rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked wide-eyed at the scene.

‘Isn’t this too much? What kind of overpowering existence is that?’

“Three-clawed Golden Dragon, give it the final blow!” Shen Fei shouted.

The Three-clawed Golden Dragon immediately swung its tail. The huge dragon tail swept across hundreds of meters, stirring up a violent sandstorm as it built up momentum.

Boom! In the next second, the Violet Astral Wolf’s body was smashed into the dirt, creating a crater around it.

The Violet Astral Wolf’s aura was weak. It did not have long to live.

…

When the Violet Astral Wolf finally died, the dark clouds above the mountain range dissipated at once. Rays of sunlight broke through and dispersed the black fog in the forest.

Shen Fei and Aloy stood at the edge of the crater, looking down at the Violet Astral Wolf lying in a pool of blood inside. Shen Fei retrieved the Violet Astral Wolf’s heart and placed it into his storage ring.

“It’s over, just like that?” Xia’er asked in surprise, and his eyes were still full of disbelief.

“Are you really that strong?” Aloy frowned.

Shen Fei shook his head. “No, it’s just something that I’ve always had. It’s not worth mentioning.”

“No matter what, the fight is over.” Aloy let out a sigh of relief and smiled.

“Shen Fei will win this competition!” Lillian cheered excitedly.

However, at this moment, Aloy noticed something.

“Where are Zhang Fanglan and Li Yuan?”

Ever since they separated, they had not seen those two.

At this point, the others were startled.

Lilian’s face darkened. “Did they encounter some trouble with an exotic beast?”

“Damn. Let’s go find them. We’ll split up.” Shen Fei said. He took out two small fruits. “This is a contact fruit. If there’s anything, use this to send a message.”

“Alright.” Aloy nodded.

Then, the four of them left in two different directions.

Soon, a shrill and strange cry was heard from afar.

“Howl!”

Aloy frowned. “Shen Fei…”

Shen Fei saw Aloy’s worry and said, “I know what you’re thinking, but we have to find Li Yuan and the others first before anything else. Don’t worry about the wormhole for now. Senior Qian Yu and the others are still there.”

Aloy nodded. Shen Fei was right. They had to confirm Li Yuan and Zhang Fanglan’s statuses first.

…

In the desolate mountain forest, Li Yuan and Zhang Fanglan were actually searching for traces of Shen Fei and the others.

“Strange, why aren’t Shen Fei and the others here yet? Logically speaking, they should have caught up long ago. Could it be that there was an accident?” Li Yuan asked doubtfully.

Zhang Fanglan frowned slightly. “I don’t think so. Shen Fei and the others went to the other side. It’s impossible for them to come so quickly.”

“Maybe they’re already here. We’ll just look southwest,” Li Yuan said.

Zhang Fanglan nodded and said, “Yeah, it’s possible. Let’s go.”

Suddenly, an ear-piercing buzzing sound came to their ears.

“Who is it?” Zhang Fanglan’s face suddenly changed. She quickly pulled Li Yuan and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Bang!

As soon as the two of them disappeared, the surrounding trees exploded and debris flew everywhere. Two pitch-black venomous snakes had suddenly darted out of the grass. Their cold eyes locked on Zhang Fanglan and Li Yuan. They hissed madly, showing their hostility.

These were poisonous pythons. Their venom was extremely potent. Normal cultivators would not be able to fight it.

“What a terrifying aura…” Li Yuan’s entire body was trembling, and his face was pale.

“They’re too strong.” Zhang Fanglan was shocked.

Li Yuan gulped and said in panic, “It’s over! We’re done for!”

The two venomous snakes hissed and shot toward them like two bolts of lightning.

“Oh no!” Li Yuan’s expression changed drastically and he cried out in shock, “Run!”

“Hiss, hiss!”

The poisonous snakes were fast, and they reached Zhang Fanglan and Li Yuan in a flash. The two ferocious snakes opened their crimson maws and bit at the two students.

“Ahhh!!”

When the venomous fangs touched her skin, a piercing pain immediately shot through her and Zhang Fanglan screamed.

Li Yuan yelled out as he ran forward with all his might. “Run… Argh!”

Unfortunately, Li Yuan had only run a few steps when he suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain from his back, causing him to wail in pain.

“Hiss!”

Li Yuan knew there was a terrible wound in his back, he felt as if he had fallen into the bottom of an abyss. He was so scared that his heart went cold and his soul almost left his body. His legs went weak and he almost collapsed.

“Gulp…” Li Yuan watched in horror as the poisonous snake latched onto his skin and sucked his blood, causing waves of searing pain to travel through his body..

Zhang Fanglan screamed again. She was wrapped by one of the poisonous snakes and could not move. She could only watch as the poison began to corrode her skin and muscles. In just a few seconds, patches of her skin had already rotted away, emitting a foul stench.

Li Yuan was even more miserable. The skin on his body had begun to fester and pus flowed out. Maggots were already squirming around the infected area.

“Ahh!! Save me! Save me!”

“Help!”

“Someone kill it!”

Li Yuan struggled in pain, but there was nothing he could do. His body became stiffer, and his life force was slowly dissipating. Zhang Fanglan’s vitality also began to decline. Her breathing gradually weakened, and she was in danger of dying at any moment.

“No, I can’t! I don’t want to die!” Zhang Fanglan begged. However, the poison had already seeped into her bone marrow and meridians. Zhang Fanglan’s begging was useless.

The venomous snake opened its bloody mouth and spat a thick green venom aimed for her throat. Zhang Fanglan’s pupils shrank, and her face was filled with fear. She closed her eyes in despair.

However, at this critical moment, a dazzling sword light appeared out of thin air and slashed fiercely at the poisonous liquid, cutting off its trajectory.

The poison landed on the ground and the area quaked with a loud explosion. A hole several feet deep was blasted into the ground. The sudden attack frightened Zhang Fanglan.

“Who is it?” Zhang Fanglan was shocked when she saw the strange man who suddenly attacked her. Her eyes shone brightly with hope.

The man retracted his aura and slowly floated over to them.

At this moment, Zhang Fanglan saw the man holding a long sword with a gentle and elegant smile on his handsome face.

‘What a handsome guy!’

Although he was still young and not much older than Zhang Fanglan herself, his heroic appearance gave people a sense of calmness and magnanimity.

The most important thing was that Zhang Fanglan could not feel any fluctuations of a cultivator coming from him. It was as if this man was a mortal being.
