Ling Zhenfei remembered the last time he came and used his Northern Spiritual Energy to block the python's attack. He even used the Sky Piercing Finger to poke the python several times, but the python's body was too strong, and he had no idea where its weakness was.

It's said that to hit a snake, you need to find its seven-inch spot, but who knows where that point is on this giant python, several dozen meters long?

Under the python's attack, the surrounding trees were knocked askew. Ling Zhenfei knew this was a good opportunity. If Protector Leng and others could attract the python's attention, he could escape.

However, Protector Leng was not easy to deal with. His strength was formidable. While he might not be able to kill the python, dodging its attacks was no problem for him.

Protector Leng evaded the python's tail attack and then leapt directly towards Ling Zhenfei, aiming a punch at him.

It seemed Protector Leng wanted to defeat Ling Zhenfei first, then make him lead him to find Ru Meng.

But Ling Zhenfei wasn't that foolish. He was injured, and fighting someone as strong as Protector Leng would be a fool's errand.

Ling Zhenfei's plan to run towards Protector Leng was premeditated. He wouldn't engage in combat with Protector Leng. On the contrary, he intended to use the python to hold Protector Leng and his men back.

Ling Zhenfei rolled towards the python, dodged its tail attack, and the Dragon Tooth Dagger in his hand plunged into the python's body.

This was no superficial wound. The python howled in pain, its body lunging madly at Ling Zhenfei, who turned and ran towards Protector Leng.

Protector Leng was startled to see Ling Zhenfei running towards him, just as he was about to strike him. He punched at Ling Zhenfei, but Ling Zhenfei dodged at that moment, and the python's gaping mouth was already descending.

Protector Leng's punch missed Ling Zhenfei but hit the python instead.

The python turned to bite at Protector Leng. He suddenly dodged aside and continued to chase Ling Zhenfei.

During the python's attack on Protector Leng, Ling Zhenfei seized the moment to slip beside the snake and stab it again with the Dragon Tooth Dagger.

That stab hit an unknown vital spot, causing a spurt of blood. The python's body sharply retracted, and it started thrashing about wildly.

Protector Leng's power was of the Realm of Reaching Wisdom. He could handle the python deftly, but he didn't expect it to go berserk after getting hurt, its massive body moving around madly, as if heedless of its own safety.

Its rapid movements left no room for evasion — whether it was Ling Zhenfei, Protector Leng, or the members of the Blood Oath Sect, they all fell victim to the python's attacks. Either its body crushed them, or its tail struck them.

The python's tail and its bloodthirsty jaws were its fiercest weapons. Protector Leng was swept away by the snake's tail, but the unluckiest one was the Old Dog from the Blood Oath Sect, swallowed whole by the python.

The remaining three youngsters were also not spared, sent flying by the python. One, who had just been swatted by the python, got pinned under it.

The young man noticed the two large holes Ling Zhenfei had made in the python and drew his dagger, stabbing wildly at the snake's belly, but the blade clinked as if hitting stone.

Pressed beneath the python's massive body, the boy was crushed to death as it moved.

Ling Zhenfei didn't escape unscathed either. The python's frenzied movement sent him flying. Fortunately, Ling Zhenfei had prepared, condensing several Northern Spiritual Energy layers in front of him when stabbing the python.

Even so, he was still knocked away by the python's formidable body.

The python must have been stabbed in a crucial spot by Ling Zhenfei, causing it to go mad with pain, its movements uncontrollable. Protector Leng got hit by the tail again before he could even steady himself from the previous blow.

The python's frenzy escalated, its attacks impossible to evade. Ling Zhenfei watched the tail sweep towards him, too fast to dodge.

With no other choice, Ling Zhenfei used his Northern Spiritual Energy to block, launching the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists at the python's tail while layering protective energy shields before him.

Bang!

Ling Zhenfei's punch only slowed down the snake's tail and lessened its force. Still, the tail eventually hit Ling Zhenfei.

Though airborne, Ling Zhenfei managed to stay conscious, knowing he wouldn't have another chance if he didn't move now.

Thinking this, Ling Zhenfei utilized a subtle technique, leveraging the snake tail's force to propel himself away.

He quickly fled, his movements swift, using the Blooming Step Technique to sprint into the distance. Since he had his prize, as long as he could get away, it was enough.

Ling Zhenfei ran continuously in the forest and only stopped after roughly an hour. He extended his Divine Sense, ensuring there was no threat within a kilometer around, allowing himself to relax.

He glanced towards the sky, but there was no sign of the Giant Eagle. After consuming the Secret Concealment Pill, Ling Zhenfei had an innate concealment attribute, making it nearly impossible for ordinary Divine Senses to lock onto him.

This was why he managed to escape; otherwise, the python or the Giant Eagle's Divine Sense would continue tracking him.

Protector Leng and others weren't so lucky. Once locked onto by the python or Giant Eagle's Divine Sense, escaping would be incredibly difficult. Previously, both he and Ru Meng were chased to the outskirts of Xianling Mountain by this snake and eagle.

It was only due to their quick thinking at that time that they managed to escape, which was very fortunate even so.

However, Protector Leng's strength was much greater than his was back then. Perhaps he could find a way out, especially now that the python had sustained serious injuries, dealt a critical blow by Ling Zhenfei, which certainly weakened its strength.

Ling Zhenfei no longer concerned himself with the others, but he did worry slightly about Ru Meng's well-being. However, Ru Meng was very familiar with Xianling Mountain, likely having nothing to worry about.

Just then, Ling Zhenfei suddenly felt something strange in his pocket, as if something was moving.

Astonished, Ling Zhenfei quickly reached into his pocket, eyes widening with surprise.

He pulled out the object, which turned out to be that fist-sized, peculiar Golden Egg, the only thing in his pocket.

Originally, it couldn't fit into Di Tian Shen Sui, so he kept it in his pocket, and the movement he felt earlier came from this object.

Now, the Golden Egg looked markedly different from before, covered in cracks.
