"Roar!"

Hearing Yun Qinghong's words, Xia Hun Wu nodded his head. Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly heard a beast like roar resounding in front of him.

This roar was filled with a berserk soul power undulation. However, that soul power undulation actually caused some of the nearby trees and rocks to shatter.

Gravity flashed across the eyes of Xia Hun Wu, Yun Che and the rest. If a soul beast could cause such a commotion with its voice, it would definitely be an existence at the peak of Earth Stage level 7.

"Run, run quickly!"

Soon after, Xia Hun Wu's group of four rushed out, only to see that not too far away, there was a giant crimson colored python that was coiled around. Within the snake's eyes, there were streams of liquid that seemed to be flowing like lava, while its entire body was covered with dark-red patterns, making it look like a small volcano. Its hideous mouth had rows upon rows of sharp teeth, and streams of dark-red liquid dripped down onto the ground, forming holes filled with flames.

Around this dark red python were dozens of figures that were forced back. Their complexions were all extremely pale and their auras were unstable. Clearly, they had suffered a heavy injury from this python.

Xia Hun Wu's eyes were fixated on the dark red python. His gaze turned serious as he instantly identified the origin of this soul beast.

The Fire Pattern Python was an Earth Rank Level 9 soul beast. It had been living in the volcano for a long time and would only leave when it was hunting its prey.

A mature Fire Vein Python was comparable to a Heaven Stage soul beast, and some of them even had the ability to break through the shackles of their bloodline and become a genuine Heaven Stage soul beast. That kind of strength was extremely powerful.

The Fire Marks in front of him was clearly only at the seventh level of the Earth Rank. However, the seventh level of the Earth Rank couldn't be compared to Liu Huai, who was at the seventh level of the Spirit Stage.

"Hiss!"

The Fire Pattern Python, which was about to devour the dozens of people in front of it, suddenly stopped when Xia Hun Wu and the rest appeared. Its lava like snake eyes stared at the four people in front of it as its snake tail gently swayed.

This Fire Pattern Python was obviously here to find food. If he didn't take care of it, it would be impossible to pass through this place in a short period of time.

"I'll go with it first." Xia Hun Wu chuckled lightly. After which, his body rushed out explosively as boundless soul power swiftly surged within his hands.

Boom!

When the Fire Pattern Python saw Xia Hun Wu charging towards it, it swung its tail viciously. The trees that were already shattered on the ground suddenly started to burn and whizzed towards Xia Hun Wu.

A cold glint flashed across Xia Hun Wu's eyes as he immediately punched out. Waves of boundless soul power directly blasted the burning fire tree into sparks of fire. At this moment, his time was extremely precious, hence he did not wish to stay here for long.

"Royal Sword Formation!"

Xia Hun Wu's hand seals changed and three Royal Sword Intent appeared. The instant they appeared, they transformed into countless Royal Sword Intent.

Boom!

In the instant that thousands of royal power sword intents were formed, Xia Hun Wu pointed forward and the royal power sword intents shot explosively towards the flame python.

At this moment, the dark red patterns all over his body turned bright. On his giant mouth, a wave of flame gathered together before transforming into a huge cluster of fire that shot out explosively, ruthlessly rushing towards the Royal Sword Intent.

"Bam!"

As the two forces collided in mid-air, the impact from the soul power caused the entire forest to be razed to the ground. Countless towering trees were uprooted and broken apart at the waist.

However, the gigantic fireball did not achieve much effect. On the several thousand king level sword intents, a little golden light spread out and directly engulfed the fireball. Therefore, the fireball also swiftly crumbled.

"Bang!" Bang! "Bam!"

The sounds of being devoured by the golden light rang out in the air. In the end, it directly shot towards the enormous body of the Fire Pattern Python.

"BOOM!"

The Fire Pattern Python also let out a painful hiss as its gigantic body was torn apart. Streams of hot blood flowed out from its body, however, the life force of this Fire Pattern Python was extremely powerful, and it remained as savage as before, even after being struck by the Royal Sword Formation.

The tail, which was as thick as a bucket, once again shot out horizontally. It tore through the air like a flaming blade and furiously hacked down on Xia Hun Wu.

"Shua!"

However, his figure appeared behind the Fire Pattern Python like a ghost. Both of his hands swept forward and the Royal Sword Intent appeared in his hands. Then, a golden light surged out and the place where the sword light landed was filled with the scales and flesh of the Fire Pattern Python.

"Chi!"

As the sharp sword beam descended, the Fire Pattern Python screamed as the flesh on its body split apart, causing it to become even more berserk. It tried to tear away Xia Hun Wu but the latter dodged it with great agility.

The dozens of figures around could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when they saw the extremely miserable Fire Pattern Python. Previously, they had teamed up with so many people and lost to the Fire Pattern Python. They never expected that Xia Hun Wu could do it so easily.

After struggling for a while, the Fire Pattern Python gradually lost all of its strength. When its resistance was exhausted, it pointed its finger forward and a fiery demon figure shot out. Its fist smashed into the snake's head from seven inches away.

Seven inches after the Flame Devil phantom hit the snake's head, its enormous body suddenly collapsed to the ground. Seeing this, Xia Hun Wu flew down and retrieved a dark red round bead from within the Fire Pattern Python. This was the inner core of the Fire Python.

The instant this inner core entered his hand, he kept it into his Qiankun bag. Just as he was about to leave, an extremely dangerous aura spread out from his surroundings through his Mental Energy perception.

With a flash of cold light, a sharp claw that could easily tear apart a mountain rock shot straight towards Xia Hun Wu at an extreme speed.

"Ding!"

Xia Hun Wu's heart skipped a beat when he faced the sharp claw that had suddenly attacked him. Immediately, his hand seals changed as a black silver armour appeared. Then, the sharp claw ruthlessly slammed into the black silver armor.

"Clang!"

As the two clashed, a metallic sound rang out. After the cold light failed, it flapped its wings and landed on a tree in the distance.

This bird had a completely white phoenix body. This phoenix did not have any feathers, and was just like a block of ice. Only, there was a snow-lotus-shaped tail feather on its tail.
