Chapter 200: The Fury of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning

Simultaneously.

"Roar, roar, roar!!"

The three-headed demonic python unleashed a deafening roar, exuding an immensely terrifying power of the Poison Great Dao, and it barreled towards Jiang Chen in a frenzied rush.

"Jiang Chen…"

Inside the Soul Embodying Ring, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning found their hearts burdened with worry.

Conversely, Fang Yuan was fully absorbed in the ongoing battle, ceaselessly trying to decipher more profound insights from the Great Dao of Spear.

Suddenly.

"Roarrr—!!"

The three-headed demonic python suddenly reared up to its full height, stretching an astounding ten kilometers into the sky, standing as a divine pillar between heaven and earth.

What came next was an astonishing sight; the middle head twisted, its gaping jaws promptly consuming the head to its right, before swiftly moving on to devour the head on its left.

The entire spectacle took place with shocking speed.

In a mere blink of an eye, an even more overwhelming aura erupted from the body of the demonic python!

"It's battling as if it's a matter of life and death!"

The moods of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning were oppressively heavy.

Jiang Chen was already facing unfavorable odds, and now, with the demonic python amplifying its power, could he continue to stand his ground?

On the battlefield.

"What the... Is it eating itself?"

Jiang Chen arched an eyebrow, showing a hint of surprise, yet without any trace of fear.

Inside him, a surge of unusual energy erupted from the Wordless Heavenly Jade, instantaneously merging into his soul and permeating every particle of his existence.

In the span of a single breath, Jiang Chen had cultivated the Blood Sword Heaven Encompassing Secrets to the perfect-level stage!

Instantly, an even more profound aura radiated from him, an aura that embodied a more complete mastery of the Sword Dao!

"Jiang Chen has made another breakthrough in the Sword Dao!"

Both Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning were simultaneously struck with awe!

"Damn it!!"

Fang Yuan's fists tightened, his vulnerable heart experiencing yet another harsh blow.

Just then.

"Roar!!"

Enveloped in a dark red glow, the demonic python bellowed as it lunged towards Jiang Chen with an irresistible force.

'Blood Sword Encompassing the Heavens!'

In Jiang Chen's hand was the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword, and countless blood-red lines manifested all over his body, resembling numerous intricate sword wounds.

As soon as these blood-red lines appeared, Jiang Chen immediately employed his utmost Sword Dao mastery to wield the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword!

Whoosh!

The myriad blood strands on his body abruptly merged with the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword, uniting with the formidable Dao Yuan Power to shape a blood-red sword Qi, which burst forth!

In the following moment, the demonic python's colossal, terrifying head clashed directly with Jiang Chen's elongated sword.

Stab——!

Boom!

The sound of the sword penetrating flesh and the collision of bodies echoed simultaneously.

Jiang Chen's body was instantly flung away.

Earlier, he had intentionally placed himself between Fang Yuan and the demonic python, creating the illusion of shielding Fang Yuan from the python.

Thus, the direction he was now hurtling towards was precisely where Fang Yuan stood!

The skirmishes between those at the Dao comprehension realm were immensely potent, and within the blink of an eye, the flung-away Jiang Chen was just a kilometer away from Fang Yuan's position.

Boom!

Jiang Chen's body slammed into the earth, instantly gouging a vast rift valley!

In that instant, dust, soil, splintered stones, and plant fragments were all catapulted into the air, painting a fiercely chaotic scene.

However, before the scattered fragments could settle back onto the ground, Jiang Chen's silhouette sprang from the giant trench, swiftly covering a kilometer, and landed right next to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan's body went rigid instantly, his eyes filled with an uncontrollable dread!

For a moment, he almost believed that Jiang Chen intended to end his life.

But in the following blink of an eye.

"Move, now!"

Coated in wounds and blood, Jiang Chen seized Fang Yuan's arm and, using every ounce of his strength, hurled him away!

Whoosh!

Fang Yuan transformed into a streak of light, slicing through the gloomy sky, and touched down not far from where the two Shadow Wind Dark Obsidian Martens were situated.

Simultaneously.

"Roarrr!"

The Dao Comprehension realm demonic python let out a heart-wrenching roar.

Its serpentine body, spanning tens of kilometers, from head to tail, was adorned with fine, blood-red lines.

Yet, it continued its reckless charge, storming its way towards Jiang Chen in a mere heartbeat.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The wind screamed, and the daunting body of the demonic python cast a looming shadow, engulfing Jiang Chen who was sprawled on the ground!

The very next moment.

"Roar!"

The demonic python bellowed towards the sky, then plunged headfirst. Its mouth, as vast as a lake, promptly engulfed both Jiang Chen and the nearby hillock.

"Jiang Chen!!"

Within the Soul Embodying Ring, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning couldn't help but cry out in shock, their voices laced with terror and disbelief.

Fang Yuan, however, was taken aback.

Nevertheless, seeing Jiang Chen meet his end filled his heart with a tidal wave of joy!

Jiang Chen, who had always been a step ahead, continually thwarting his plans, nearly taking everything from him, was finally dead!

He had suppressed his emotions for so long, harboring so much resentment that he almost combusted on the spot, but now he could finally release it all!

In fact, Fang Yuan could hardly keep his expression in check, revealing a triumphant smile!

"Fang Yuan!"

"How dare you laugh! How can you even smile, you heartless traitor!"

"Fang Yuan, Jiang Chen saved your life, and this is how you repay him. I've totally misjudged you!"

Two distinct female voices suddenly rang out, unmistakably the furious reproaches of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning!

[Ding! You have successfully caused Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning's impressions of the protagonist, Fang Yuan, to plummet, reducing Fang Yuan's Heavenly Fate Value by 400 points!]

[Ding! You have gained 800 Villain Value points!]

System prompts echoed in Jiang Chen's mind.

"I..."

"You don't understand, Jiang Chen he..."

Fang Yuan's heart lurched, and he was just about to explain.

Suddenly!!

"Roar! Roar!"

Two roars, nearly synchronous, echoed from a spot not far from Fang Yuan.

The very next moment, two shadows, one to the left and the other to the right, lunged at Fang Yuan with manic intensity!

They were the two Shadow Wind Dark Obsidian Martens that Jiang Chen had previously marked for tracking!

Having been further corroded by the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi, they were inherently vicious beasts!

Upon spotting Fang Yuan, a mere Heavenly Origin realm intruder, invading their sanctuary, they were instantaneously consumed with uncontrollable rage and charged to attack!

"What!"

Fang Yuan's expression morphed dramatically, and he swiftly assumed a defensive stance.

"Why are there two Inquiring Journey realm demonic beasts here!"

"They are Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm demonic beasts! Two of them! This is a serious predicament!"

"..."

Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning were equally shocked, recognizing the imminent danger!

With Fang Yuan's current strength, he could barely manage to fend off a Middle-stage Inquiring Journey realm demonic beast.

Against two Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm demonic beasts, whether he could escape with his life was doubtful.

"Two seniors, aid me!"

Assailed by two Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm demonic beasts, Fang Yuan found himself in a grave life-or-death crisis, his body abruptly turning cold!

He cried out in desperation, seeking help!

At the same time, he did not forget to resort to his last-ditch measures.

Self-harming secret arts, the Wild Spirit Explosion and the Vigorous Sift Diagram, were activated without any hesitation!

However, this was far from sufficient!

"We have no other choice!"

"Use that technique!"

Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning reached an instant consensus, and promptly unleashed all their soul power!

This soul power was manipulated using a unique cultivation method, blessing Fang Yuan's body and dramatically enhancing his combat capability.

This blessing was the gift of battle experience.

Both Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning had weathered countless life-and-death encounters.

Their combat experience couldn't be acquired through diligent study and practice alone.

Receiving support from Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, Fang Yuan felt a surge of relief.

His spear in hand swung out with wild abandon.

"Roar! Roar!"

The two Shadow Wind Dark Obsidian Martens emitted sharp roars, practically transforming into a pair of lightning bolts as they recklessly charged at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan brandished his spear, striking while retreating!

His strategy was to force the two Shadow Wind Dark Obsidian Martens back, then seize the effects of his secret arts to make a swift escape!

Cultivators from the Holy Lands had already signaled for reinforcements.
