Chapter 27: Stirring Up a Hornets' Nest

  With one slash of his sword, a wolf-shaped demon that had just entered the Hua Yuan realm was split in two. Lu Yu Feng panted heavily, taking big gulps of air.

  It's been about a year since the last time he killed the violent bear. In this year, Lu Yufeng relied on the help of the green liquid droplets to recover and cultivate, constantly fighting with the demon spirits, his strength has made rapid progress. Although his boundary is still in the early stage of Huayuan, his combat consciousness is already incomparable. Lu Yufeng can be sure that if he encounters the violent bear again, he will definitely not be seriously injured. Moreover, Lu Yufeng has now found all the things needed for the task, so why hasn't he left? It's because Lu Yufeng saw that he still had many shortcomings and needed to strengthen his strength. To know, for an extremely powerful special reaction team warrior, the jungle is absolutely their home!

  Although Mu Feng has been gone for almost a year, he hasn't gone too far, and the shadow of Wang Tian Peak can still be vaguely seen, only becoming more and more blurred.

  "Wooo..." Mu Feng heard a loud roar from afar, the roar was full of energy, and just by listening to it, he knew that the cultivator's skills were not shallow, possibly even higher than those of the Violent Bear. Moreover, this roar came from far away and slowly approached Mu Feng.

  Lu Yu Feng did not retreat, although the roar was loud and clear, but it was not enough to make Lu Yu Feng timid. At present, Lu Yu Feng has already qualified to fight against any demon in the Huayuan realm. Even if he is defeated, he can still retreat with ease. What's more, being intimidated by a single roar and giving way would be ridiculous.

  Luyu Feng finally saw clearly what the approaching demon spirit was, a giant python with flower patterns, which looked very similar to the first giant python he had killed. This giant python did not transform into a semi-human form and remained in its snake body. The giant python stopped at a place not far from Luyu Feng.

  "It seems it's rushing towards me..." Lu Yufeng looked at the giant python not far away.

  "Human, did you kill my brother?" The giant python said with its green eyes open, staring at Lu Yu Feng.

  "Your brother? Is it a python with spots similar to you? If so, that's me." Lu Yufeng didn't think of hiding, since he did it, why not admit it openly.

  The flower-spotted giant python was taken aback, originally it was just a casual question, didn't expect the other party to admit it, itself had been searching in the demon forest for nearly two years, not even seeing a human, today saw a human, and the strength wasn't very strong either, just wanted to test its luck, even if the other party wasn't the one who killed its younger brother, itself would still find a reason to eat it, but the other party's answer made itself unable to turn around, aren't humans supposed to be hypocritical?

  "Fine, since you killed my brother, it's only natural that I eat you too!" With that, he sprang up and bit down on Lu Yu Feng.

  "Hmph... if you want to fight, then fight, what's with all the pretentious excuses? Your brother wouldn't have died at my hands if he wasn't trying to eat me! Today, you're no different! You've come here, don't think about leaving!" Looking at this somewhat foolish demon spirit, Lu Yuefeng said harshly. This was a predetermined life-or-death struggle, and Lu Yuefeng didn't say much more, wielding his knife and fully mobilizing his true yuan to slash at the giant python's head. Lu Yuefeng also didn't dare be careless; in this past year, he had come to understand the physical strength of the demon tribe. Moreover, this was also the strongest enemy Lu Yuefeng had encountered, far surpassing that violent bear.

  "Ding... ding... ding..." The long knife infused with true yuan chopped down on the giant python's head, producing a metallic crashing sound. Although it didn't behead the python, it managed to cleave it back.

  "So strong!!" Lu Yufeng borrowed the force of the long knife to retreat backwards, Lu Yufeng had fought with the giant python before and knew that its head was quite agile, and it might also have the principle of "hitting a snake without becoming a stick". However, the giant python did not attack Lu Yufeng as he expected, but instead looked at him from a distance.

  "Humans, not bad, if it weren't for the True Yuan covering my head, I wouldn't be able to withstand your one slash based on physical strength alone. However, you still have to die! I am not that weakling of a brother of mine, Snakebite..." As soon as the giant python's words fell, many illusory shadows shot out from its body, all of which were in the shape of snakes.

  "What?" Lu Yufeng's eyes narrowed, he hadn't expected that this demon spirit would actually possess divine magic.

  The illusory shadows of the snakes and the real body of the python rushed towards Lu Yu Feng together, instantly making him feel extremely strained. Not only did he have to fight against the python, but also pay attention to dodging the illusory shadows' attacks on himself.

  "Ah..." Lu Yufeng had just dodged the snake's attack, only to discover that his left arm had already been bitten by a shadowy figure. Lu Yufeng quickly retreated, slashing his knife at the snake's shadow, and then discovered that his left arm had turned black, with waves of intense pain spreading through it, clearly indicating that he had been poisoned.

  "Haha... human, the taste of poisoning isn't pleasant, right? Do you know why this move is called Snake Bite? It's because once bitten, you'll be poisoned. This toxin is refined from our Flower Pattern Tribe's unique snake venom and can prevent you from mobilizing your True Yuan. Moreover, True Yuan can't eliminate this toxin at all; only a special antidote will work." The giant python no longer rushed to attack Lu Yu Feng, waiting for the poison to take deeper effect, making it easier to deal with him later.

  Lu Yu Feng felt the true yuan circulating within his body, and indeed discovered that the circulation speed of his true yuan was gradually slowing down. This made Lu Yu Feng extremely anxious, unable to muster up his true yuan; wouldn't that make him vulnerable to being slaughtered? Lu Yu Feng knew that the giant python wasn't making a move now because it was waiting for him to be poisoned more deeply before striking. It feared his final counterattack before death.

  "What to do?" Lu Yufeng found his true yuan circulation slowed down again by a fraction.

  Just as Lu Yu Feng was in a great hurry, there was a familiar tremor transmitted from his Dan Tian. Lu Yu Feng was overjoyed, he knew what was stirring, with the spiritual energy of nature, why would he be afraid of mere snake venom?

  Although Lu Yu Feng couldn't control the green liquid droplets, he could control the spiritual energy emitted by the droplets to drive out the snake venom. Indeed, when the green spiritual energy circulated to his left arm, he found that the signs of poisoning were slowly disappearing, and it would only take a little more time to completely eliminate the snake venom.

  Just then, Lu Yu Feng discovered that while he was preparing to force out the poison, the Flower Spotted Python was heading towards him, seemingly ready to make a move on him.

  "Time! I need some time!" Lu Yufeng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

  "Haha... you think a little snake venom can poison me? You underestimate me too much!" Suddenly, seeing the giant python about to strike, Lu Yifeng burst into a fit of mad laughter.

  "Not poisoned? Impossible, you've clearly been bitten!!" Hua Ban's giant body froze in shock, stopping in his tracks. However, when he saw that Lu Yu Feng's left hand was dripping with blood, he suddenly understood - this human was deceiving himself! He had obviously been poisoned, although it was unclear why he could remove the snake venom, but that was no longer important - he was buying time!

  "Hmph... humans, you think you can deceive me? You humans are indeed treacherous!" The giant python thought that its own strength was originally stronger than the opponent's, and when the opponent had just been poisoned, it should have pounced on him to kill him. The giant python bit towards Lu Yu Feng's waist, seemingly preparing to bite him in two at the waist.

  However, it was too late. At the moment he launched his attack, all the snake venom in Lu Yu Feng's body had been expelled and he quickly leaped to the side, narrowly avoiding the giant python's attack.

  "What's the point of being fine? Snake bite!" The giant python let out another snake bite, then entwined its body with Lu Yu Feng to engage in a fierce battle. He had made up his mind that if Lu Yu Feng was poisoned again, he would quickly take him down.

  Lu Yu Feng became even more cautious due to his previous experience, and for a while, he was evenly matched with the giant python. However, Lu Yu Feng knew that if this continued, he would eventually lose. Although his strength and spiritual energy far surpassed those of an ordinary Yuan Transformation stage cultivator, the giant python in front of him was clearly not at the Yuan Transformation initial stage, and was even more formidable than a Yuan Transformation middle stage Violent Bear, but absolutely not at the Yuan Transformation late stage. Lu Yu Feng knew that he was actually still far inferior to the giant python, and for now, was only relying on his combat consciousness, as well as his true yuan strength which surpassed the Yuan Transformation initial stage, to be evenly matched with the opponent.

  "Hmph, since that's the case, let you try the power of Qi Feng Yin!" Lu Yu Feng clenched his fists and formed a seal. "Is it only you who can't master battle skills? Look at the power of my Qi Feng Yin!" Lu Yu Feng slapped his palm towards the giant python with flower-like spots.

  The flexibility of the giant python was indeed fierce, much more so than the violent bear. Lu Yu Feng's surprise attack didn't work and he ended up slapping his palm on the ground, creating a handprint that was nearly three zhang in diameter.

  "Little kid, what kind of martial skill is this? Why is it so fierce?" The giant python was shocked by Lu Yufeng's palm strike just now. Lu Yufeng had been holding a knife and fighting the python all along, and it thought that Lu Yufeng wouldn't know any martial skills. But now it seems that not only does Lu Yufeng know martial skills, but he is also extremely fierce. If he were to be hit by that palm strike, even if he didn't die, he would lose half his life.

  The giant python quickly retreated backwards, intending to escape. The python was frightened and its venomous fangs were broken by Lu Yufeng's earlier move. Now that Lu Yufeng had unleashed such a powerful battle technique, the python had lost all will to fight. At this point, it no longer cared about avenging its younger brother.

  "Hmph... Think you can escape? Do you think you can get away?" Lu Yufeng's foot kicked off, chasing after the giant python, a long knife raised above his head, pouring all his true essence into it, fiercely slashing at the python.
