The Villain: Claiming The Protagonist's Master

"Fight it to the death. If we don't bring something useful back, the sect master won't spare us!" Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes filled with resolve and ruthlessness.

As soon as these words fell, the bodies of the other Qingyun Alliance disciples clearly stiffened, and their faces revealed determined expressions.

Their sect had spent a tremendous price to secure sixteen trial slots in the ancient secret realm. If they returned empty-handed, death would surely await them.

If they were going to die either way, they might as well take a chance. Perhaps they could turn their bicycle into a motorcycle.

"Kill!"

In an instant, the Qingyun Alliance disciples who had been hesitating all this time simultaneously summoned their magic weapons and charged madly toward the Sky Swallowing Python.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan's delicate face slightly relaxed, and she exhaled a long breath, her gaze cold and sharp as she stared at the ferocious Sky Swallowing Python ahead.

"Beast, today I'll take your damn life!"

The moment her voice fell, Liu Ruyan also joined the others in surrounding and killing the Sky Swallowing Python!

In a flash, the sound of battle cries resounded through the heavens, and a fierce battle between man and beast erupted.

Seeing this, Su Chen's lips curled into a cold smile, and he thought to himself, 'Fight, go ahead and fight. I'll be the oriole waiting behind the mantis stalking the cicada.'

He continued to silently conceal his aura and lurked in the distant shrubbery.

The Sky Swallowing Python's massive body was like a mountain, and ordinary attack methods were completely ineffective at penetrating its defenses. Only through magic weapons could it be injured.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the Sky Swallowing Python, surrounded and attacked by Liu Ruyan and the others, was completely enraged. It let out furious roars, recklessly charging to crush these bold ants.

However, Liu Ruyan and the others tightly encircled it from all directions, constantly hurling magic weapons and hidden weapons, crazily attacking its remaining left eye and vital spot at seven inches.

The Sky Swallowing Python wasn't stupid; it realized the Qingyun Alliance disciples' intent. It guarded its two weak points resolutely, seizing opportunities to launch lethal attacks.

Pfft!

Suddenly, the Sky Swallowing Python opened its mouth wide and swallowed an Qingyun Alliance disciple whole.

Yet, this only ignited the fighting spirit buried deep in the remaining disciples' hearts.

"Die, you beast!"

A disciple of the first stage of the Minor Saint Realm, his eyes bloodshot, took advantage of the moment to fly onto the Sky Swallowing Python's head. Wielding an incomparably sharp longsword, he stabbed fiercely at the python's skull.

Immediately, blood spurted from the python's head as its flesh was pierced.

"Roar!"

The Sky Swallowing Python, unwilling to show weakness, rolled over and slammed its head toward the ground.

The Minor Saint disciple was startled and quickly tried to dodge, but he was a split-second too slow, and his lower body was crushed into a bloody pulp.

"Ahhh!"

Letting out a heart-wrenching scream, the disciple instantly fell unconscious.

"Senior Brother Wang Yuan!"

The surrounding Qingyun Alliance disciples were dumbfounded at the sight, their eyes immediately welling up with tears.

"Revenge for Senior Brother Wang Yuan!"

A sorrowful voice echoed, and another disciple at the first stage of the Minor Saint Realm charged toward the Sky Swallowing Python's vital spot at seven inches.

However, the python, intelligent as it was, sensed danger and twisted its body to dodge the attack. Its tail swept across, striking two Qingyun Alliance disciples in one blow.

Crack!

With the sound of breaking bones, the two disciples chests collapsed, their internal organs shattered, and they died on the spot.

Seeing this, all the Qingyun Alliance disciples froze.

This Sky Swallowing Python was far too brutal.

Liu Ruyan's delicate face was as cold as water, her gaze growing frostier. She could tell that while the Sky Swallowing Python currently held the upper hand, it was nearing the end of its strength. If they could just hold out a little longer, the python would ultimately be defeated.

"Everyone spread out and attack freely. Let's bleed it out and exhaust it to death!" Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth and shouted.

Hearing this, the other Qingyun Alliance disciples nodded in agreement and dispersed, moving at high speed.

Before long, the Sky Swallowing Python's body was riddled with wounds, fresh blood oozing from its injuries and staining the surrounding ground, as if a bloody rain had fallen.

"Roar!"

The Sky Swallowing Python let out violent roars, its forked tongue flicking in and out.

Its remaining left eye gleamed with intense hatred and ferocity as it swung its massive tail, attempting to smash these annoying pests to death.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ground trembled violently, thunderous noises echoed, and rocks flew everywhere.

However, to the Qingyun Alliance disciples, this was nothing more than the python's death throes.

Gradually, the Sky Swallowing Python, having lost too much blood, began to weaken. Its movements slowed, and even its aura grew faint.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan squinted her eyes and immediately shouted, "Everyone, don't let it catch its breath! Finish it off in one go!"

As she spoke, she charged toward the Sky Swallowing Python.

The other disciples, hearing her command, swiftly followed suit. Coordinating with Liu Ruyan, they closed in on the python, unleashing spells and frantically attacking its vital points.

But just then, the Sky Swallowing Python's entire body began to rapidly swell.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan's expression drastically changed. She immediately shouted, "Retreat! Quickly, retreat! This beast is going to self-destruct!"

Hearing her warning, the Qingyun Alliance disciples' faces turned pale, and they immediately turned to flee. But they were still a step too late.

Boom!

The Sky Swallowing Python's muscles swelled up like steel-reinforced plates, covered in thick scales. It unleashed an explosive wave of terrifying force, sweeping in all directions, toppling and destroying nearby trees and vegetation.

In an instant, aside from Liu Ruyan and Bai Youchang, who were severely injured, all the other Qingyun Alliance disciples perished on the spot.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Struggling to stabilize her body, Liu Ruyan coughed violently, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

When the python self-destructed earlier, she had been at the forefront. Normally, she would have died, but Bai Youchang had pulled her away in time. Otherwise, she would now be a pile of bones.

"Damn it!"

Liu Ruyan cursed under her breath, her face extremely gloomy.

She had never expected the Sky Swallowing Python to self-destruct, catching her completely off guard and turning what should have been a sure victory into a costly ordeal for their side.

"Sister Liu, what do we do now?" Bai Youchang asked, his face pale.

Both of them were gravely injured, their combat strength greatly reduced. If they encountered other trial participants now, they would likely die.

"Collect the spiritual essence bead from the giant eagle, and then we'll withdraw," Liu Ruyan said after a moment of thought.

"Understood."

Hearing this, Bai Youchang nodded in agreement.

It was a pity that the Sky Swallowing Python had self-destructed. Otherwise, they would have gained another high-grade spiritual essence bead.

However, just as Bai Youchang approached the giant eagle's corpse, he saw a man in black rummaging through the eagle's skull.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Bai Youchang flew into a rage and shouted sternly, "Who are you? That's our spoils of war!"
