Chapter 116: The Venomous Python Emerges

  Xiao Chen was like a crouching leopard, quiet and patient.

  The other side had eight people, he must be careful and wait for an opportunity. The eight people sat there resting, after who knows how long, one person stood up and walked to the side, seemingly to relieve himself.

  "It's now!"

  Xiao Chen suddenly darted out, his speed incomparably fast. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of that black-robed man and stabbed out with his sword.

  In an instant, the man in black turned his head sideways, his cold gaze piercing towards Xiao Chen like a knife.

  "Hmm..." Xiao Chen felt that something was off, but at this moment, he couldn't care about that anymore. His body violently burst out with a powerful airflow, speeding up faster and faster: "Kill!"

  Boom!

  Several dozen meters, in fact, is just a blink of an eye. Xiao Chen's speed reached its fastest, almost synchronized with the sound.

  The air was rumbling with tremors.

  "So fast!"

  The black-clad man's gaze flickered, but his knife immediately slashed out. Xiao Chen's sword clashed with the knife, and a rapid vibration began. The sword tip drew out fine circles.

  Borrow power, explode!

  Xiao Chen was like a cannonball, once again using his technique of borrowing force to strike with even greater power. The strength on his sword suddenly increased by more than tenfold!

  "Die!" Xiao Chen coldly stared at the black-clothed man, his sword piercing into the red aura that erupted from the black-clothed man.

  Just as the sword was about to pierce the black-robed man's body, the black-robed man suddenly fluctuated strangely. With a "ding" sound, Xiao Chen's sword pierced through the black-robed man, but it didn't bring any resistance. His face changed instantly.

  A silhouette emerged ten meters away from Xiao Chen, a man in black appeared, his face pale, but staring fiercely at Xiao Chen.

  The remaining seven black-clothed men also rushed over, with bursts of fighting energy exploding one after another, and cracks appeared on the ground.

  "He actually got away, this black-clothed man is really strong!" Xiao Chen looked at the black-clothed man who had escaped by relying on his residual shadow, and he realized that he had made a mistake. The strength of these black-clothed men was not all the same, there were also strong and weak among them.

  "Master, that black-clad person's clothes are a bit different, with a silver thread on their arm, they should be the strongest." Denox's voice came.

  Xiao Chen was now fighting together with seven black-clothed men.

  His body was like a swimming dragon, constantly changing and moving in the unmatched knife light. Fortunately, after a night of fighting, the physical strength of this group of black-clothed people had not recovered, while Xiao Chen possessed many perfect medicines, recovering quickly, with full energy and spirit.

  Otherwise, the light is a wave of seven people's impact, and it may be cut off.

  A fierce and violent attack blocked off all possible escape routes for Xiao Chen.

  Xiao Chen also wanted to try his own limits, his spiritual power burst out thoroughly, grasping every wave of fluctuation in space. Whoosh, whoosh, the sword light wandered, his wrist shook, drawing out a mysterious and harmonious trajectory.

  Pfft!

  The sword and a knife coming from the left side collided, slightly shaking, borrowing force to burst forth, meeting two long knives slashing from the other side. The great power sent one of the long knives flying away. Xiao Chen's body charged forward, breaking through the encirclement, avoiding the blade's edge behind him...

  Unload force, borrow force!

  He used it more and more skillfully! Sometimes gentle as a spring rain, sometimes bursting like a volcano.

  Xiao Chen's unpredictable swordsmanship was also a great headache for the seven black-clad men, as they couldn't grasp Xiao Chen's strength at all. Sometimes his power was extremely weak, and sometimes it would burst out even stronger than theirs.

  It's terrible! Unbearably terrible!

  The black-clothed man with silver lines on his arm did not join the battle group. He had just dodged Xiao Chen's fatal sword, but was not relaxed, and used some kind of secret technique, which made him feel empty inside, so he kept recovering. However, seeing that his subordinates were unable to kill Xiao Chen for a long time.

  He suddenly roared!

  He charged forward with a whoosh! A five-meter-long blade aura shot out, and it was clear that his strength far surpassed the other black-clothed men.

  A blade chopped down, Xiao Chen dodged to the side, his sword blocking the knife with a loud clang. A surge of powerful force came rushing over, causing his arm to go numb. He tried his best to dissipate the force, but his body involuntarily retreated backwards.

  Borrowing strength and unloading strength also have limits, and if the power gap is too large, relying on skills won't work either.

  Hmph!

  A man in black seized the opportunity and stabbed Xiao Chen's back with a one-foot long slash.

  "Master!" Denox yelled.

  "I'll take care of it myself!" Xiao Chen's back was pierced with pain, but he yelled to stop Denox, the pain stimulating his fighting spirit. The Shadow Sword swung out, a flash of light bursting forth.

  "Kill me!"

  He bellowed and charged towards a man in black clothes, with a sudden burst of white light exploding from his eyes.

  Xiao Chen's spiritual power was far stronger than these black-clothed men, a master-level spiritual power that could shake the opponent with just one burst of energy!

  However, the determination of these black-clothed men was tempered to be extremely tough and ruthless, and Xiao Chen could only stun them for a brief moment.

  That was enough, the black-clad man hastily drew his sword, but Xiao Chen borrowed strength and with one stroke of his sword, he slashed through the man's throat. A head flew into the air, and then Xiao Chen stepped on the headless corpse, using it as a springboard to leap outwards in a wild dash.

  The headless corpse was kicked back, slightly blocking the black-clad man, and Xiao Chen had already fled dozens of meters away.

  "Chase!" The man in black chased after him.

  But they soon lost him, Xiao Chen's speed was too fast, and they had a hard time catching up.

  In a secluded thicket, Xiao Chen sat down with a pale face, hastily took out a bottle of red life medicine, swallowed it into his belly, and a surge of life energy spread to his back. He felt his skin itching, his flesh growing, healing, and Xiao Chen's expression gradually calmed down.

  He sat cross-legged in meditation and regulated his breath, half a day later, he felt that the injury on his back had recovered.

  "Continue killing!" A cold-blooded glint flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes.

  He immediately rushed out again and began to search for the trail of the black-clothed man. With the life-saving medicine, as long as it wasn't a fatal injury, he could recover. This was Xiao Chen's greatest reliance!

  Two days later, in a forest, several men in black robes were walking in a rather disheveled manner, their eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

  They were the Black Hawk team, but now only five people remained in the ten-man team. Two of them had lost an arm, and the remaining three were also injured to varying degrees, looking exhausted.

  These cold and ruthless black-clad men, whose eyes also began to show signs of tension.

  Looking back on these two days, it's been a nightmare.

  Assassinations and ambushes anywhere, anytime. That black-haired youth is like a madman. Clearly inferior in overall strength, but relying on speed, he repeatedly stabs and then escapes.

  Many times, they also seriously injured Xiao Chen, several times, almost killing him, but not long after, he appeared again.

  Ambushes everywhere, all the time.

  Within two days, they were ambushed so crazily that they lost two more team members. Two others, although alive, had their arms cut off and were rendered useless. The most frustrating thing was that they hadn't had a good rest in the past two days, always on high alert or fighting, with physical and mental burdens far exceeding their limits.

  Even these tough black-clothed men felt unable to support themselves, and even a hint of fear deep in their hearts.

  They never thought that the original pursuit would turn into a counter-pursuit!

  Whoosh!

  The sword light tore through the air, it's coming again!

  Five black-clad men hastily leaned against each other, the one with silver lines on his arm bellowed and charged towards the sword light. Now, only he could still confront Xiao Chen head-on.

  Whoosh! Xiao Chen dodged him like a fish and darted towards the other four.

  The sword flashed, the fine rain raged, after a series of collisions, the sword flashed with a bloody color, a one-armed man in black clothes stared blankly at the bloodstain on his chest that was slowly expanding, and even a hint of relief appeared in his eyes.

  Xiao Chen killed him and did not stay, but escaped again.

  The men in black had given up chasing him, knowing they couldn't catch up with him, so they stayed where they were and waited.

  Xiao Chen didn't escape far, he hid behind a rock, panting heavily, his physical strength had actually been exhausted to the limit, and it was only his willpower that was holding him up...

  At this time, Ziwu Lake was quietly undergoing a transformation.

  Above Ziwu Lake, layer upon layer of dense clouds gathered and swirled, with fierce winds howling and lightning flashing, the sky and earth changing colors.

  All kinds of magical elements are raging, the entire Purple Mist Lake is shaking, and the water flow on the lake's surface keeps swirling around, forming a huge whirlpool with the central island as its center. Some adventurers near the Purple Mist Lake were stunned by this extraordinary phenomenon, and many people walked towards the Purple Mist Lake.

  "What's happening? What's going on!" An adventurer looked at the terrifying lake surface with a pale face.

  "I don't know, I have a bad feeling about this, let's go."

  Some adventurers trembled as they spoke.

  "What's there to fear? I'll stay and take a look." Some adventurers' eyes lit up.

  Many adventurers feared and left, but many adventurers were tense and excited to stay on the spot. The omens in the sky might also bring treasures, and these adventurers didn't care about death, looking down on those who had left.

  In the sky, thick clouds have gathered to be dark and oppressive, however, the strange thing is above Lake Heart Island, the lightning in the cloud layer is also becoming more and more intense.

  Boom!

  A bolt of lightning struck down, and rocks on the island in the middle of the lake splashed everywhere.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  More electric snakes densely struck on the island in the lake, instantly flattening the island.

  The adventurers were stunned, what kind of power is this!

  Ahhhhh!

  Suddenly, a terrifying beast howl came from the bottom of the lake, and the water on the entire surface of the lake splashed up to a height of hundreds of meters.

  Among the vast mist, a huge purple shadow suddenly burst out, towering above the mist. The intense purple fog swept across, colliding violently with the lightning shooting down from the sky. Zzt! All the electric lights scattered.

  That purple shadow rushed into the thick clouds, constantly wandering around.

  A moment later, the clouds seemed to have been absorbed.

  The sky was empty, and the adventurers below saw a gigantic serpent-like beast with a length of nearly 100 meters floating in mid-air. A pair of deep purple eyes opened, gazing down at the earth with an icy stare.
