Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 270 Medusa's Thanks
Several days later, deep in the Beast Domain in the southern part of the Dou Qi Continent, dark clouds covered the sky above the Nether Serpent Mountains, and the air was filled with the lingering energy waves.

The once continuous and undulating Nether Serpent Mountains have now been cut in half, with the rock face at the fracture point as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been cleaved open by an invisible giant sword.

What's even more chilling is that faint traces of sword intent still linger in the air around the cut surface, drifting like gossamer threads. Though weak, they still possess the terrifying power to annihilate everything.

Two figures slowly appeared from the void.

As soon as Medusa landed, she instinctively raised her hand to cover her chest, her face turning slightly pale: "Is this the territory of the Nine Netherworld Python?"

She could clearly feel the lingering sword intent in the air, which pierced her blood like a needle, causing a sharp pain throughout her body.

It even caused the Seven-Colored Devouring Python bloodline within her to begin to stir, as if instinctively resisting this sword intent.

Medusa's expression instantly turned serious; this was quite unbelievable.

She evolved with the help of a strange fire back then, and is now a seven-colored Sky-Devouring Python. In terms of bloodline level, she is on par with the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

They occupy the top of the pyramid among snake species and have virtually no natural enemies.

Even the Azure Serpent's Three-Flower Pupil couldn't control her, a serpentine creature... but the sword intent here could!
"The Nine Netherworld Clan suddenly suffered the calamity of extermination, a fact that was originally unknown to most people."

However, later, when the Dragon and Phoenix Ruins opened, a little girl named Qinglin rushed from the Nether Serpent Mountains to help the human race and seize the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit, which made the matter known to the world...

Later, according to the investigation and speculation of the Pill Tower, Qing Lin and Xiao Jibai, the successor of the Sword Emperor, had a close connection. The destruction of the Nine Netherworld Clan was also done by the two of them.

The lingering sword intent here must have been left behind by Xiao Jibai. In the current Dou Qi Continent, he is probably the only one who knows this sword technique that can even restrain the Seven-Colored Devouring Python...

Speaking of which, after the battle at the Dragon and Phoenix Ruins, the little girl named Qinglin disappeared without a trace, and the Pill Tower has been searching for her ever since.

Medusa said.

Su Yun remained calm, showing little concern for Qing Lin's safety.

That girl controlled two Dou Sheng and several Half-Saints of the Nine Netherworld Clan. Before leaving, she even reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zun.

As long as you don't provoke the ancient imperial clans, protecting yourself is relatively easy.

Medusa gazed at the golden sword intent floating in the air, her fingertips gathering a wisp of gentle energy as she cautiously probed towards it.

But the moment the fighting spirit touched the sword intent, a sudden change occurred!

"Zheng——!"

The seemingly faint golden sword intent suddenly erupted with a sharp edge, like a drawn blade, piercing through her battle aura barrier and slashing straight towards her fingertips.

"hiss--!"

Medusa gasped as a sharp pain shot through her fingertips, and bright red blood instantly seeped out.

She instinctively withdrew her hand, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing tightly.

The sword intent did not dissipate as she retreated; instead, like a maggot clinging to her bone, it burrowed into her body through the wound on her fingertip and began to frantically devour her flesh and fighting spirit!

"how so!"

Medusa's expression changed slightly, and she quickly activated her seven-colored battle qi to try to dispel the sword intent.

However, the moment her fighting spirit came into contact with the sword intent, it was directly devoured by the sword intent. Instead of weakening, it became even stronger, spreading faster within her body like wildly growing vines.

"It's so troublesome..."

Medusa was at a loss, a sense of panic rising within her. For a moment, she was torn between removing it and not removing it.

However, if she were to allow this sword intent to remain within her body, even her Seven-Colored Devouring Python bloodline would not be able to withstand such a drain.

Medusa was secretly alarmed.

If even a wisp of residual sword intent possesses such power, what kind of immense strength must the Sword Emperor's successor himself possess?
You've misunderstood.

Just as Medusa was anxious, Su Yun's calm voice rang out: "This sword intent is not specifically aimed at the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python. The entire beast race will find it difficult to resist this sword."

Su Yun reached out and grasped Medusa's injured fingertip. A gentle surge of fighting spirit flowed into his palm, like a spring breeze brushing across ice and snow, instantly spreading throughout Medusa's limbs and bones.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—!" Medusa's beautiful eyes widened involuntarily. The sword intent that had been clinging to her like a leech just moments before dissipated rapidly under the influence of Su Yun's battle qi, just like ice and snow melting away, leaving not even a trace!

"How did you do that? Even an ordinary saint would find this sword intent very troublesome."

Medusa stared intently at Su Yun's face, only then realizing that she had completely lost the ability to sense Su Yun's cultivation level.

This man is like an ever-thickening fog, mysterious, compelling people to explore him, and ultimately lose themselves in the process…

Su Yun smiled faintly: "When have I ever taken the usual path?"

"is it?"

Medusa circled around Su Yun, seemingly thinking of something, a faint smile appearing on her pretty face.

"Perhaps I should pretend nothing happened?"

Su Yun ignored this and said, "Let's go. The thing inside is our goal for this trip."

Without further delay, the two unleashed their fighting spirit, transforming into two streaks of light that flew straight towards the deepest part of the Nether Serpent Mountain Range.

As they ventured deeper, the chill in the air grew stronger, and the rocks beneath their feet gradually became covered with a thin layer of ice, until a wide valley came into view.

In the center of the valley, a spring with a pale yellow glow flows quietly.

The spring water was cold and damp, with fine black mist floating in it, emanating a bone-chilling cold. The rocks at the edge of the spring had long been frozen into a deep black color.

Su Yun pointed to the cold spring water below and said, "The Nine Nether Yellow Springs was originally the sacred ground of the Nine Nether Earthly Nether Clan, and it has the effect of tempering the body."

But no one knew that the legacy of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python clan was hidden here.

"what!"

Medusa exclaimed in surprise, "The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python clan is an ancient and exotic species that has been extinct for tens of thousands of years. Its lineage actually resides in the territory of the Nine Netherworld Python clan."

"How could the same race allow two kings to exist at the same time?"
This is only natural.

Su Yun raised his finger, and a soft ray of soul light bloomed at his fingertip, carrying pure soul energy.

Before Medusa could react, he gently touched her forehead with his fingertips.

"boom--!"

Medusa felt a massive influx of information flood her mind, including not only the inherited cultivation methods of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python clan, but also a set of cultivation secrets she had never seen before, which were extremely profound.

"To absorb the inheritance of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python clan, it would be most appropriate to have the assistance of the Nine-Colored Primal Stone."

However, during my travels, I accidentally obtained this technique, and its effects are no worse than those of the Nine-Colored Origin Stone.

"You will enter the Nine Netherworlds and obtain the inheritance through this method. When you emerge from seclusion, you will likely be able to break through to the Dou Sheng realm."

Su Yun smiled.

"A chance discovery during my travels..."

Medusa murmured softly, not believing a single word of his nonsense, but she knew, in any case, that Su Yun would not harm her.

"Thank you very much."

Medusa laughed.

Su Yun's lips curled up as he stared straight at her and said, "So how do you plan to thank me, Your Majesty?"

Medusa's cheeks burned under that intense gaze, and her voice was barely audible: "Well, let's talk about it another time."

As soon as she finished speaking, a seven-colored light emanated from her body, and her figure rapidly grew larger, transforming into a seven-colored python tens of feet long. The snake's scales shimmered brilliantly in the dim light, like a flowing rainbow.

She swayed her snake tail, and with a light leap, she fell into the Netherworld.
