Ye Tianfan looked at these statues, his heart sighing with emotion.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tianfan was outside the city walls, his gaze sweeping across the walls. He discovered that there were actually many statues on the walls, and they were dressed like armored guards, as if they were the guardians of this city. However, they seemed to be in a panic, not knowing what had happened!

At this moment, after seeing the appearance of these statues, Ye Tianfan suddenly felt something was amiss. These statues were too lifelike, and they all seemed to be in a fleeing posture.

Perhaps these statues were once people, and they were petrified into statues while fleeing.

Ye Tianfan was stunned by his own thought, and the more he thought, the more reasonable it seemed.

When Ye Tianfan thought of this, he quickly retreated and cautiously looked at these ruins.

Perhaps the culprit who petrified them might still be in the ruins.

Just then, Ye Tianfan suddenly heard the sound of stones falling in the ruins, he hurriedly flew upward, his gaze directed toward the interior of the ruins. Then Ye Tianfan saw a haze floating in a corner of the ruins.

It seemed there was significant activity there!

As Ye Tianfan was considering whether to go over, suddenly a roar echoed from that direction, accompanied by waves of oppressive force.

Upon hearing this roar like rolling thunder resounding in the ruins and feeling these waves of oppression, Ye Tianfan's eyelids twitched slightly. It seemed the demon beast inside was not easy to deal with.

Ye Tianfan considered for a moment and decided to go over and take a look. Perhaps the commotion over there was related to the petrification of these people. If he could find the cause, he might be able to rescue these people.

However, Ye Tianfan knew that the hope was not great, but what if he could rescue them? Wouldn't that be a significant meritorious attainment?

Ye Tianfan lowered his body, nearly flying close to the ground forward, though not completely adhering to the ground, as he feared sudden attacks might appear from the ground.

The height at which Ye Tianfan flew was slightly higher than the houses, though not much higher, as flying in the sky would make him too big a target.

Flying low, although the speed is slightly slower, it prevents him from being detected by enemies and becoming a target.

Ye Tianfan flew in such a manner for about ten minutes and finally arrived near the area covered by haze.

Ye Tianfan entered a relatively tall building, went to the top floor, and observed the movements around. Although he had already arrived near where the commotion occurred earlier, the exact location was unclear, and it wasn't possible to fly up into the sky to look down anymore, as he would become a living target.

At this time, the sun was slowly setting.

Ye Tianfan looked up, gazing at the gradually darkening sky, taking a long breath. It seems he had to rest here tonight, and hopefully, there wouldn't be any disturbances at night, or it would be difficult to find the enemy.

At this time, Ye Tianfan could not light a fire, nor could he eat anything with a strong aroma, as the demon beast might have excellent vision or a highly sensitive nose.

So Ye Tianfan could only take out some dry food, crunching it while drinking some water.

While eating, Ye Tianfan looked outside to see if that demon beast would move around at night, making sounds, allowing him to pinpoint its location.

Carefully watching the surroundings, Ye Tianfan thought, perhaps he could lure it out, such as by chopping with his sword to create a disturbance and draw it out.

Thinking so, Ye Tianfan decided to act on this idea, he directly wielded the Fire Lotus Sword and slashed a sword Qi forward.

The sword Qi boldly shot out, slashing towards the houses.

Suddenly, those houses began to collapse loudly, hitting the ground with tremendous noise.

Just when Ye Tianfan was about to slash the second sword, suddenly from behind, he heard a huge roar.

"Roar!"

Following that was a crashing sound, clearly the sound of houses being destroyed as the demon beast rushed over.

Ye Tianfan immediately flew out of the building, then summoned the Xuan Huang Pagoda, preparing to observe the demon beast from above.

Ye Tianfan flew out of the building not only to see what the demon beast was, but more importantly, based on the commotion he heard, the building he had been in was on the path of the demon beast, if he didn't move away, he would definitely be crushed inside the building.

As soon as Ye Tianfan saw the demon beast, he tightly closed his eyes because he instantly recognized the appearance of the demon beast.

This demon beast was a giant serpent, and if it were only that, Ye Tianfan wouldn't have closed his eyes immediately, because this serpent had three eyes. Not to mention the hideous scales, just the full sharp teeth indicated it was not to be trifled with, not to mention its third eye had a special ability, which was petrification.

Just by making eye contact with this serpent's third eye, one would be directly petrified.

Ye Tianfan now understood why there were so many statues outside the ruins, why there were so many statues on the city walls, and why those statues were so lifelike.

Because they were all petrified by the three-eyed petrifying serpent.

But this serpent's petrifying ability also has a deadly weakness, which is as long as you do not make eye contact with its third eye, you will not be petrified.

Of course, any cultivator generally has divine sense, which can be used to fight, so although the three-eyed petrifying serpent's skill is outstanding, it can also be easily countered.

Of course, the three-eyed petrifying serpent does not solely rely on its eyes for living, although its eyes can influence people of several realms.

The body strength of the three-eyed petrifying serpent is above mid-level Qian Yuan, so even if it doesn't use its eyes, it's at the Qian Yuan fifth or sixth layer in strength.

This presents a significant challenge for Ye Tianfan.

However, the three-eyed petrifying serpent's body is only at mid-level Qian Yuan, limited to physical attacks, its immortal technique power is zero. Besides its petrifying eye, the three-eyed petrifying serpent doesn't have other techniques.

It can only perform constricting, biting, and tail smashing like ordinary serpents.

Thus, Ye Tianfan is not afraid of this three-eyed petrifying serpent, since only physical attacks cannot harm him.

However, Ye Tianfan does not intend to use the Xuan Huang Pagoda for defense because doing so would make it an unchallenging fight with the three-eyed petrifying serpent, defeating the purpose of training.
