Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 157: Chapter 156: The Might of the Demon Python

Wang Tianba and the eight Celestial Spirit Realm cultivators slammed into the cave wall and tumbled wretchedly to the ground.

All of them were gravely injured, vomiting blood, with countless broken bones.

Just then, more figures swooped in through the cave entrance. They were the Celestial Spirit Realm cultivators who had been in pursuit.

”Vice Dean Wang!” The Celestial Spirit Realm cultivators froze in shock at the sight.

Then, their eyes shifted, and they saw the Demon Python floating in the air like a True Dragon.

”A Demon Python!”

”Could it be a Demon Python of the Primordial Pill Realm?!” Terror filled their eyes at this realization.

Now they understood why Vice Dean Wang had been sent flying.

The Demon Python’s gaze shifted. It glanced behind itself, its eyes falling upon Ling Fei.

A questioning look appeared in its eyes.

”Kill them all,” Ling Fei said coldly.

The Demon Python nodded slightly.

’These Human Race cultivators must be trying to hunt down this young scion of the Dragon Race,’ it thought. ’As a python, my loyalty should lie with the Dragon Race. Only then can I draw closer to their world. Now that I’ve received his favor and absorbed so much Flood Dragon Essence Qi, it’s the perfect time to help him out of this crisis and repay the debt.’

So, the moment Ling Fei spoke, a chilling killing intent erupted from its body.

Kill.

At that moment, the Celestial Spirit Realm cultivators who had just entered activated their Divine Guard Waist Tokens.

SWISH! SWISH!

Instantly, seven Giant Swords formed from Emperor’s Qi slashed toward the Demon Python. The force they carried was astonishing, approaching the power of the Primordial Pill Realm.

The Demon Python frowned slightly upon sensing the Emperor’s Qi, a hint of apprehension in its eyes.

This was because the Emperor’s Qi contained the Celestial Emperor’s Might, which could intimidate both mortals and Great Demons.

Within the Empire, the Celestial Emperor possessed an unparalleled Emperor’s Might capable of suppressing all demons.

This was why many Great Demons lurked in the mountains and wilderness, not daring to enter the commandery cities and wreak havoc on the populace.

However, the apprehension in the Demon Python’s eyes quickly vanished, replaced by a cold, sharp glint. Then, its massive tail swept out.

WHOOSH!

A torrent of Core Pill Essence surged forth like a tidal wave.

The space before it was completely flooded with this Essence Qi. In an instant, the seven blades of Sword Qi condensed from Emperor’s Qi were engulfed by the energy wave and obliterated.

’So strong!’ Even Ling Fei, watching from a distance, couldn’t help but be shaken by the power a Primordial Pill Realm Great Demon could unleash.

At the same time, he was secretly relieved. ’If it weren’t for my Dragon Qi and Dragon’s Might, I would have had no way of intimidating this Demon Python.’

BANG!

The Sword Qi was drowned out as the Pill Essence swept forward, directly annihilating the Celestial Spirit Realm cultivators.

WHOOSH!

The next moment, the Demon Python slithered through the air, its claw lashing out. It formed a giant claw of qi that swiped down toward Wang Tianba.

The giant claw of Essence Qi was massive, with patterns swirling across its surface. It looked just like a real Flood Dragon’s claw as it descended.

”No! I am a Silver Level Divine Guard! If you kill me, the Celestial Emperor will dispatch a great army to scour this entire mountain range!” Wang Tianba’s eyes were wide with terror.

The few men beside him were also panic-stricken.

They all had Divine Guard Waist Tokens, but under such terrifying pressure, they couldn’t even activate them.

They were completely paralyzed.

BAM!

The giant claw descended, and Wang Tianba’s world went black.

The next moment, the sound of cracking bones echoed through the cave. When the giant claw dissipated, Wang Tianba had been reduced to dust.

The great Vice Dean of Tianyan Academy, a Silver Level Divine Guard, was dead.

”Ah! Vice Dean Wang is dead!” many of them cried out in panic.

”Run!” Instantly, those who had just arrived in the cavern turned to flee.

The Demon Python continued its assault, slaughtering the cultivators in the cave one by one.

In just a few moments, nineteen people had perished there.

After they had fallen, the Demon Python’s body flashed as it entered the passage in pursuit.

Meanwhile, in the passage, the Celestial Spirit Realm cultivators were screaming in terror.

”There’s a Great Demon here! Run!”

”Vice Dean Wang has fallen!” All sorts of cries rang out, carrying to the outside.

”What? A Great Demon?”

”Vice Dean Wang has fallen?” The people outside were utterly astonished.

As they hesitated, a few people stumbled out of the cave in a panic, mounted the waiting Red Simurghs, and quickly flew far away.

WHOOSH!

Just after this small group escaped, a terrifying shockwave erupted from the cave, blasting Celestial Spirit Realm cultivators out one after another.

The sight of these cultivators being blasted out finally snapped the onlookers to their senses.

”Run!” Immediately, everyone spurred their flying mounts to escape.

HISS!

Just then, the Demon Python shot out like a streak of light, appearing instantly in the distant Void.

With a sweep of its massive tail, it swatted four of the slower cultivators from the sky. They all vomited blood, their flying mounts killed as well.

”Holy hell, that’s a Great Demon of the Primordial Pill Realm!” The fleeing cultivators in the distance were all terrified by the sight.

After killing a few more cultivators, the Demon Python flew back, giving up the chase.

Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit took in the entire scene. He mused, ’Wang Tianba is dead, and this Great Demon has terrified so many Celestial Spirit Realm experts. For a short while, no one else will dare come here. But what follows will be an even more ferocious storm. What will I do then?’

’First it was Celestial Spirit Realm cultivators. Next, it will be the Primordial Pill Realm.’

’At that point, how terrifying will the Emperor’s Qi be from a Golden Level Divine Guard’s Waist Token?’

’Can this Demon Python withstand it?’

’Besides, I have no real connection to this Demon Python. It won’t necessarily fight to the death for me.’

’After all, I’m weak right now. What if this Demon Python has ill intentions?’

So, Ling Fei was trying to figure out an escape plan.

WHOOSH!

Just then, the Demon Python flew back.

By the time the Demon Python returned, Ling Fei was already sitting cross-legged beside the Flood Dragon, calmly circulating his Dragon Bone and furiously absorbing the Flood Dragon Essence Qi as if nothing had happened.

Sure enough, when the Demon Python saw this, its gaze toward Ling Fei was filled with reverence.

Ling Fei was perfectly calm in the face of danger, and the Dragon’s Might that emanated from him gave the impression that he was truly a scion of the Dragon Race.

So upon its return, the Demon Python didn’t overthink it. It simply coiled up nearby and resumed absorbing the Flood Dragon Essence Qi.

Everything returned to how it was before, as if nothing had happened at all.

...

People continued to fly into the Beichuan Mountain Range.

When a squad of Celestial Spirit Realm cultivators flew back in terror, they immediately aroused the curiosity of others.

”Why are you back?” a Divine Guard from another squad came forward and asked.

”Run! There’s a Great Demon of the Primordial Pill Realm in the mountains! Vice Dean Wang has already fallen!” the men said hurriedly.

”What! Vice Dean Wang has fallen?”

”A Great Demon of the Primordial Pill Realm?” Hearing this news, those who had just ventured deep into the Beichuan Mountain Range were all horrified.

But Vice Dean Wang was a Silver Level Divine Guard!

If even he had fallen, wouldn’t ordinary people just be courting death by rushing in now?

”Quick, we have to report this to Marquis Yun! Ling Fei is in the mountains right now—we can’t let him get away.”

At this point, only a Primordial Pill Realm cultivator could resolve this matter.

”Alright!” Then, everyone flew away, not daring to venture any deeper.
