C230 Self-destruction

How could Elder Dong and Old Lady Zhi not be serious? After all, if the other six burning trees were hiding Seven Flame Pythons that were similar in strength to the Seven Flame Python in front of them. . . Their plan this time around would likely end in failure.

There was no other reason. One Early Stage of Ancestor Returning Stage Strange Beast was enough to give them a headache. If there were six more, they would have to think twice.

Perhaps, besides the failure of their plan, their lives might also be lost here.

The old man with the crutch unleashed the Yuan energy in his dantian. In an instant, ten Yuan energy shields were placed in front of him.

With his Fifth Layer of Essence Image Stage strength, even a Third Layer of Essence Image Stage warrior's all-out attack might not be able to break the Yuan energy shields.

Not to mention, he had actually used it ten times. If this was the case, perhaps only a Fifth Layer of Essence Image Stage warrior would be able to break it.

However, there was no absolute in this world. If one were to measure the Strange Beast with the strength of the Human Martial Cultivator, it would naturally suffer a great loss.

This old man, who was leaning on a crutch, had coincidentally made such a fatal mistake. He looked at the Strange Beast with the eyes of a human and did not use his full strength.

One should know that even a lion would use his full strength to fight a rabbit. Underestimating the enemy would bring him irreparable pain in the end. There was even a price to pay with one's life for this.

"Pu. "

The flaming pillars were like a spear that pierced through the clouds. They ruthlessly pierced through the ten elemental energy shields formed by the old man who was holding onto the crutch. Then, they continued to bombard his body.

The degree of heat within the pillars of fire was so great that even a Fifth Layer of Essence Image Stage expert would turn into a lump of coal if they were to take a direct hit from it.

After the ten Yuan Power shields were easily pierced through like paper, the old man's face, which was leaning on the crutch, turned as black as ink.

In just an instant, the five crutches that had been stuck into the Seven Flame Python's body a moment ago appeared in front of him.

The five crutches overlapped and black light burst forth from them, forming the final barrier to protect the old man with the crutches.

At the same time, the East Elder and Old Lady Zhi, who were behind the crutch holding old man, did not sit and watch. They took out their bodies and attacked the fire pillar from the side, trying to blow it away.

Under such circumstances, they naturally could not stand idly by.

After all, if the old man with the crutch fell down, then the ones who would be attacked would naturally be the two of them.

In the next moment, shocking heatwaves rolled unceasingly. Even the cold qi emitted from Bi Yuv and Zi Yuv dissipated by half.

Because the cold air dissipated quite a bit, Ye Heng could clearly feel the surrounding temperature rising rapidly at this moment.

A burning pain came from his skin, as if he was going to be burnt.

Under such circumstances, Ye Heng naturally used the Yuan Power in his Dantian to protect his entire body, causing the burning pain to be slightly reduced.

Not far away, the fire pillar that was spat out by the Seven Flame Python was finally blocked by the old man who was holding onto a crutch at this moment.

Of course, half of the credit had to be attributed to Elder Dong and Old Lady Zhi.

If it was not for their attacks, the flame pillar would not have dissipated so quickly.

The Seven Flame Python that was entrenched there saw that its breath had been dispersed. Its two huge snake eyes were filled with anger.

Immediately after that, the Seven Flame Python violently twisted its huge snake body.

Its body was clearly extremely huge, but its speed was so fast.

In less than two breaths' time, the Seven Flame Python turned its snake tail and swept towards everyone from the right.

With the length of the Seven Flame Python's tail, even Ye Heng and the others who were a little distance away were naturally included in the attack range.

It was likely that with the force contained within the huge tail of the Seven Flame Python, Ye Heng and the others would naturally have no chance of surviving a single strike.

Although Ye Heng's strength was enough to stand proudly among Essence Vortex Stage warriors, But the Seven Flame Python was an Early Stage of Ancestor Returning Stage Strange Beast, and it was even a little stronger than a Third Layer of Essence Image Stage warrior.

Moreover, the Strange Beast was famous for its physical strength far surpassing that of a Human Martial Cultivator. As for its strength, there was no need to say much.

Therefore, the strength that Ye Heng was so proud of was not worth mentioning in front of this Early Stage of Ancestor Returning Stage Seven Flame Python.

The difference between heaven and earth was like heaven and earth, totally not on the same level.

Perhaps, if Elder Dong, Old Lady Zhi, and the old man with the crutch could not block it, there was still a possibility of survival.

However, Ye Heng and the other three had no hope at all.

However, Elder Dong and the other two naturally would not watch helplessly as this Seven Flame Python acted impudently.

In the next moment, the aura of the East Elder, Old Lady Zhi, and the old man with the crutches suddenly soared.

After pondering for a moment, the three of them decided to use all their strength to quickly take down the Seven Flame Python in front of them. After exchanging a few words with Yuan Power sound transmission, they moved.

"Bang. . . Bang. . . Bang. "

A Essence Image Stage warrior who used all his strength had to be said to be very terrifying.

A moment ago, the Seven Flame Python, which seemed to have gained the upper hand, had now been beaten by the East Elder and the Third Elder until it was completely powerless to fight back.

If not for the Seven Flame Python cleverly protecting its vitals, perhaps it would have been killed by now.

The body that was dozens of meters long was covered with thousands of sharp wounds, and the snake blood that was gushing out of them.

The dazzling fiery-red scales from earlier had completely dimmed at this moment. One could still see a trace of light from it.

Even an eye of the Seven Flame Python had been dug out by the East Elder and the Third Elder.

Of course, the consequence of showing off his might like this was that most of the essence energy in the East Elder's third brother's dantian had been used up.

At this moment, after slightly forcing back the Seven Flame Pythons, the three of them grabbed a large pile of Essence Crystals and began to quickly recover the essence energy that they had used up.

However, the Seven Flame Python that was confronting the East Elder and the other two could be said to have completely ignited its ferocity after having one of its eyes gouged out.

There were no more patterns in the attack, and there were even many useless attacks.

The huge snake tail was like a broom. It swept across the ground from time to time, and also swung in the sky.

Several times, if it wasn't for the fact that Elder Dong had purposely helped Ye Heng and the others get rid of the snake tail at the most dangerous time, they would have already gone to hell together.

Ye Heng, who was standing in the distance, had opened his eyes wide after seeing what had just happened.

The Ancestor Returning Stage Strange Beast was indeed extraordinary. There were a few times when Ye Heng had seen Elder Dong and the other two men and was about to be burned to death by the Seven Flame Python.

Not long after that, the majestic Seven Flame Python was covered in wounds and looked like it could die at any moment.

However, if a wild beast that knew that it was about to die would erupt with an astonishing combat strength, then there was no need to mention the Strange Beast.

The Seven Flame Python seemed to have sensed the outcome it was about to face. Its remaining snake eye emitted a frightening light. It was a kind of will that could destroy both jade and stone.

That was right. The Seven Flame Python, who knew that there was no chance of survival, decided to perish together with these hateful Human Martial Cultivators.

In the next moment, the Strange Beast Crystal that the Seven Flame Python had been hiding under the snake's scale three inches away suddenly appeared in everyone's line of sight.

Everyone was stunned for a moment before a thought suddenly flashed through their minds.

Could it be that the Seven Flame Python was preparing to self-destruct?

It had to be known that the Strange Beast Crystal in the Strange Beast's body was the source of the Strange Beast's energy. It contained all of the Strange Beast's spirit energy.

Once the Strange Beast detonated its own Strange Beast Crystal, the spirit energy contained within would completely erupt.

What was even more terrifying was that the spiritual energy within the exploding Strange Beast Crystal would also resonate with the spiritual energy in the air, causing the power of the explosion to rise in a straight line.

Even if it was a Late Period of Spiritual Sense Strange Beast's self-destruction, it would still be able to injure an Essence Image Stage warrior.

Not to mention, the one who was about to self-detonate at this moment was an Essence Image Stage warrior. It was an Early Stage of Ancestor Returning Stage Seven Flame Python.

If this Seven Flame Python really self-destructed successfully, there was no way for anyone on the scene to survive.

Ye Heng had once read about the Strange Beast detonating its own Strange Beast Crystal in the books.

It described a real example. A Late Period of Spiritual Sense Strange Beast had detonated its Strange Beast Crystal, killing a Third Layer of Essence Image Stage warrior.

And that warrior was from the Hao Yuan Sect where Ye Heng was.

Furthermore, the records roughly described the range of the explosion.

That explosion roughly covered five miles of land.

The ground at the center of the explosion had caved in to a depth of thirty meters.

Even the outermost part of the explosion had sunk by more than ten meters.

From this, one could imagine how terrifying the Strange Beast's self-destruction was.

It was precisely because of the Strange Beast's possession that it would self-detonate when it knew it had no chance of survival. That was why the complete Strange Beast Crystal was so precious.

Fortunately, only the Strange Beast itself could self-destruct.

Otherwise, once the Human Martial Cultivator could detonate the Strange Beast Crystal. . .

Then, the Strange Beast Crystal would become a huge weapon of mass destruction. Even Essence Image Stage warriors had to be wary of it.

At this moment, after knowing that the Seven Flame Python was about to explode, everyone's faces were filled with shock.

The old man with the crutch's attack was even sharper, hoping to use this to interrupt the Seven Flame Python's self-destruction.

Old Lady Zhi, like him, used all kinds of powerful martial skills to attack the Seven Flame Python.

Only Elder Dong strangely withdrew his hand at this moment. His eyes coldly stared at the Seven Flame Python as if he was thinking about something.
