It was Fang Qingyu's earth-shattering slash that split open the tide of corpses, along with Jiang Wei's precise incineration of the force field prison, that broke the deadlock.

The conversation held Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei in very high regard.

Wei Banmeng, from her perspective, recounted how Fang Qingyu deduced that the Earth Element Divine Chosen was the mole, how he orchestrated her breakthrough to deliver the message, and their team's harrowing encounter with the white headless snake during the node defense, as well as Fang Qingyu's final "obsession" with something on the body of the Red-headed White-bodied Beast.

The narration was cold and concise, but there was an almost imperceptible complexity in the tone when mentioning Fang Qingyu tracking the white headless snake alone.

Yan Shouzheng listened quietly, his face showing no expression, only occasionally rubbing his fingers lightly in his sleeve.

When he heard "Red-headed White-bodied Beast."

His eyes, usually as calm as an ancient well, flickered slightly.

"So what you're saying is," Yan Shouzheng began slowly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, "besides that Molting Level 'Corrupt Nest Sovereign,' there should be a Life Ghost you call 'Red-headed White-bodied' down there? Is that the target the young man wants to skin and flay?"

"Yes, Master!" Wei Banmeng immediately nodded, her tone extremely serious, "That monster has a unique form, a massive red head covered in thick scales, yet its body is a lifeless pale, terrifying in strength, far surpassing normal Peak of Profound, completely comparable to Tier Two! We witnessed it devour a Modified Martial Artist of Peak Profound in one gulp! Fang Qingyu finally went to track it..."

"Hmm." Yan Shouzheng acknowledged with a sound, asked no further, and merely said flatly, "Wait a moment."

Before the words fell, his entire person seemed to merge into the air, vanishing instantly!

His speed was so fast that even Second Tier experts like Su Wanqing and Zheng Xiaohai could only catch a trace of an afterimage!

The crowd looked at each other, not yet comprehending.

Boom——!!!

In less than ten seconds!

A section of the rock wall beside them, which had collapsed extensively due to deep battle, suddenly exploded!

In the midst of flying debris, an incredibly massive, more than twenty-meter-long pallid snake body was forcibly "thrown" from the ground by a tremendous force, crashing heavily in front of everyone!

The heavy snake body hit the ground, causing the earth to tremble slightly.

Its trademark lifeless pale body, partially covered with shattered Red Gold scales, with a chaotic severed neck, was the white headless snake that made everyone shiver!

Yan Shouzheng's figure reappeared silently and ghost-like without a trace of dust on his robe.

"Is this the snake you mentioned?" he asked calmly.

"Yes! It's it!"

Those like Wei Banmeng who had seen it almost spoke in unison, their tone utterly certain.

This distinctly recognizable white snake body, once seen, could never be forgotten!

Looking at the large and ferocious carcass of the white headless snake on the ground, and thinking about the less than ten seconds it took for Yan Shouzheng to descend and return, everyone looked at him with expressions filled with shock and near fanatical admiration!

Too strong!

It was practically a divine means!

The terrifying monstrous creature earlier was instantly killed with a blow from heaven!

Now this deeply hidden, elusive beast that left so many in terror and despair was so casually dragged out and tossed like trash!

Is this the strength of the Pavilion Master of Dragon Abyss Pavilion, the top Martial Saint of this era?!

However, faced with the undisguised adoration from the crowd, Yan Shouzheng only calmly waved his hand, his gaze falling on the massive wound at the neck of the white headless snake, frowning slightly as if discerning something.

"I didn't kill it."

Yan Shouzheng said calmly, his voice carrying a hint of an indistinct amusement and investigation.

"Hmm?" The crowd was taken aback.

Yan Shouzheng pointed at the frighteningly large wound on the severed neck of the white headless snake and slowly said, "This fatal wound...as well as the residual violent energy conflict within the snake's body...the person used a blade, extremely domineering flames, and a peculiar delay force field...the method was crude and reckless, but that spirit of mutual destruction..."

At this point, Yan Shouzheng paused, casting his gaze in the direction Fang Qingyu was carried away, seemingly with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

"...it should be that young man's doing."

...

Consciousness felt like it was sinking in the cold, viscous ink, continuously sinking, while struggling to float upward.

Severe pain, like countless hot needles, pierced from limbs, from the depths of the internal organs, reminded Fang Qingyu of this body's battered condition.

A thought, like lightning, suddenly cleaved through the chaotic darkness!

That bastard... is he dead?!

This thought, laden with deep-seated hatred and almost obsessive confirmation, seized Fang Qingyu's entire mind in an instant!

Causing him to shudder violently!

"Uh..."

A restrained groan of pain squeezed out from deep in his throat.

Heavy eyelids struggled open to a slit, the dazzling white light causing Fang Qingyu to squint instinctively.

The unique scent of disinfectant mixed with a faint herbal fragrance surged into his nostrils.

The white walls, the bright overhead light, the soft thin quilt covering him, the IV attached to his arm... this is... a hospital?

Nerves taut to the extreme, after confirming his safety, suddenly relaxed.

Fang Qingyu exhaled silently, his body also relaxing as he settled back into the soft pillow.

Safe... that bastard, he must be dead... blown his head off with my own hands...

At that moment, the door to the ward was gently pushed open.

Fang Qingyu instinctively glanced up.

Qi Hao peeked his head in, a cautiously inquiring look on his face.
