Chapter 11: Duel with the Giant Python

  Yang Feng was displaying the Spiral Nine Shadows' light body technique, advancing quickly through the mountain cave. Having reached the realm of one yin and one yang, Yang Feng's physical perception had greatly increased, and he could clearly feel even the slightest changes in wind direction within the cave. As the wind direction changed, Yang Feng also constantly changed direction, rapidly advancing forward while silently praying that the giant python wouldn't chase after him, allowing himself to escape smoothly.

  Yang Feng, with his greatly improved strength, can now use the Spiral Nine Shadows' light body technique to create a clone. However, this is not a life-or-death situation, so he doesn't need to use the clone yet. All he needs to do is quickly dash forward. The purpose of the clone is for self-preservation, and Yang Feng won't use it unless absolutely necessary.

  However, Yang Feng's speed was also extremely fast now. The Spiral Nine Shadows Body Technique was like the wind as it swept by, and except for a faint shadow of a person, almost nothing else could be seen. Under Yang Feng's full force, he soon saw a bright light in front of him, which was the exit!

  As soon as Yang Feng saw the exit, he became excited and ran forward even faster. When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Yang Feng stopped to take a look and found that outside the mountain cave was not a cliff or precipice, but just an ordinary small hill, with the entrance of the cave located on the middle slope of the small hill. Yang Feng was overjoyed, finally escaped, and hurriedly ran out.

  After leaving the cave, Yang Feng suddenly felt that the sunlight was abnormally dazzling, almost making him unable to open his eyes. It turned out that he had been in the cave for too long, and Yang Feng's eyes had already gotten used to the dimness inside the cave. Now, suddenly coming out and seeing the sunlight, it was natural that he would feel a bit unadapted. So Yang Feng closed his eyes, adjusted his body's condition, and only opened them again when he felt that he could basically adapt to the outside environment.

  But when Yang Feng opened his eyes, he was stunned by the thing that appeared in front of him. It was none other than the giant green python from the underground cave, which was now blocking his way and staring at him with two blood-red eyes!

  This sudden change left Yang Feng feeling bewildered and at a loss, although the experiences of the past year had made him more resolute, but he was still only seventeen years old after all, with very little experience, and had never experienced anything like this before. So even though he had now learned the Nine Suns Divine Skill and the Nine Yin True Classics, as well as some other martial arts, in this situation Yang Feng seemed to have forgotten all about them.

  In the cave, Yang Feng only saw about 5 or 6 meters of the giant python's body. Now he sees the entire body of the giant python, which is over 30 meters long and as thick as three adults put together. The dark green scales on its body shine brightly in the sunlight, and its blood-red tongue keeps darting in and out, making people feel a chill run down their spines!

  However, this giant python just stared at Yang Feng with its blood-red eyes, but did not launch any attack. This made Yang Feng, who was shocked to the extreme, slowly calm down and look at the giant python in front of him, thinking about how to deal with the current situation. At this time, Yang Feng finally remembered that he knew martial arts, although it might not be a match for the giant python in front of him, but escaping should not be a problem.

  Yang Feng stared at the giant python in front of him, and after a long time, he still didn't see any movement from it. He decided to make a move. Suppressing the fear in his heart, Yang Feng first looked around at his surroundings, identified the direction, then suddenly activated Spiral Nine Shadows Light Body Technique, dashing westward.

  This time, Yang Feng used the Spiral Nine Shadows' technique of creating a phantom clone. In front of the giant python, there was still a Yang Feng standing there, but the real Yang Feng had already appeared tens of meters away. This was already the limit of Yang Feng's current mastery of the Spiral Nine Shadows.

  After escaping to tens of meters away, the Nine Yin True Classics and Nine Yang Divine Skill inner energy within Yang Feng's body had been consumed by more than half. This made Yang Feng sigh in amazement at the wonder of the Spiral Nine Shadows while secretly lamenting that his own strength was still too low. Just creating a single phantom clone had used up half of his inner energy; if that giant python were to catch up again, he would really be done for.

  Therefore, he didn't dare to linger and quickly fled towards the west, this time not using any inner energy but relying on the Spiral Nine Shadows' footwork, propelling himself forward with his physical strength.

  On the other side, the giant python was still staring at Yang Feng standing in front of it. However, after tens of seconds, the green giant python suddenly discovered that the Yang Feng in front of it had begun to slowly dissipate and finally disappeared. This situation confused the green giant python. Although the giant python's eyesight wasn't very good as a snake, its sense of smell was still strong. But earlier, the python had clearly sensed the aura of Yang Feng in front of it, so how could it disappear after just a moment?

  The giant python tilted its head and looked at the place where Yang Feng had just stood, revealing a thoughtful expression. The cyan giant python's expression looked very humanized, if Yang Feng saw it, he would definitely be surprised that such a giant python could have a human-like expression. Unfortunately, Yang Feng had already run far away, and the python's intelligence didn't seem to be very high either, after pretending to think for a while, it still couldn't figure out what was going on.

  However, the giant python soon found Yang Feng's trail after repeatedly swallowing its blood-red tongue several times. The green giant python's huge tail swished, and it chased after Yang Feng in the direction he was escaping, its massive body running at a speed that was much faster than Yang Feng's. If Yang Feng's speed could be compared to a gentle breeze, then this green giant python's speed should be likened to a tornado!

  Although Yang Feng had already run several thousand meters away, the green giant python still quickly caught up with him and blocked his path again. However, the python did not attack Yang Feng, but only blocked his way, staring at him as before. This time, however, the python was much more cautious, as if it was afraid that Yang Feng would escape again.

  Yang Feng, who had his path blocked, let out a sigh and knew that with his current strength, he was no match for the giant python. So, he stopped running and stood still, panting, staring at the python just like it was staring back at him. However, after they gazed at each other for a long time, Yang Feng couldn't help but make the first move.

  "Hey, what are you doing blocking me? I'm calling out to you, what's going on?" Yang Feng said with a fierce expression to the giant python.

  The giant python saw Yang Feng speaking to it and seemed extremely delighted, suddenly lifting its massive snake head, with a joyful glow emanating from its blood-red eyes! However, the python's movement startled Yang Feng, who thought it was going to attack him, so he hastily picked up a half-meter-long tree branch nearby and retreated several steps in defense.

  However, the giant python saw Yang Feng pick up a tree branch and thought he wanted to play with it. So, it pounced on Yang Feng, which scared him badly. Looking at the approaching python head, Yang Feng's heart panicked, his hands holding the branch began to sweat profusely, and his eyes widened in fear as he stared at the giant python.

  At the moment when the giant python was about to pounce on Yang Feng, Yang Feng finally displayed the Spiral Nine Shadow Body Technique, and with a twist of his body, he dodged the giant python. Then, the Jade Xiao Sword Technique, which he had practiced countless times, was immediately unleashed, striking the giant python's body in an instant. Yang Feng's current strength was extremely great, and the giant python's body seemed to have an extremely strong resistance to impact, so under this blow, the branch in Yang Feng's hand had already broken off, while the giant python did not suffer any harm at all, but instead became excited, turned around and pounced on Yang Feng again.

  Yang Feng was greatly startled and hastily retreated, using the tip of his foot to push off. He also picked up a thicker wooden stick from the ground and once again used the Jade Xiao Sword Technique and Spiral Nine Shadow Body Technique to fight against the giant python. The giant python seemed to have no intention of harming Yang Feng, but instead repeatedly pounced towards him, while Yang Feng repeatedly used the wooden stick to defend his body without any concern.

  Yang Feng gradually felt that the giant python did not seem to have any hostility towards him, so he put his mind at ease and truly started playing with it. Before, Yang Feng was always alone in his cultivation, so he didn't have even a bit of actual combat experience. Now that he had an extra free training partner, Yang Feng naturally wanted to practice well.

  After practicing the Jade Xiao sword technique, Yang Feng began to use the Nine Yin White Bone Claw to practice with the giant python. Since he had reached a state of one yin and one yang, Yang Feng's Nine Yin White Bone Claw was even more powerful, but when it landed on the giant python's body, it still didn't have any effect. This made Yang Feng feel greatly relieved, and he became even more reckless in his movements.

  Time and time again, Yang Feng practiced his martial arts with the giant python, deepening his understanding and mastery of the Jade Xiao Sword Technique, the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, and the Spiral Nine Shadows. Especially the application of the Spiral Nine Shadows had greatly improved. Having gained such benefits, Yang Feng was even more tireless in his repeated sparring sessions with the giant python, allowing his strength to be elevated once again!

  In such a real-life exercise, Yang Feng and Jupeng's relationship gradually warmed up, and they eventually became good friends who didn't fight or know each other. It's really a big world with no surprises, but for Yang Feng, it was a good thing, not only could he get a free training partner, but also gain an extra helper when dealing with the Yang family in the future!
