Rumble—
The ground churned, and amidst the flying dust, a giant shadowy figure emerged from beneath. As the dust settled, a black python as thick as a water bucket was revealed. Its massive copper-colored eyes resembled amber with intricate patterns, and a diamond-shaped black pupil held a cold, emotionless gaze. The black python flicked its scarlet tongue, staring icily at Ye Kunlun and Nalan Mingyue.
Roar—
Seeing the black python appear, the barbarian tribesmen grew excited. They waved their fists and shouted loudly, as if performing some ancient and sacred ritual. Nalan Mingyue gasped. In her entire life, she had never seen a snake this thick. Its head alone was over a meter long, and its cold eyes, the size of fists, seemed capable of captivating the soul with a single glance!
Ye Kunlun watched the black python that had emerged with a cold gaze. He chuckled and said to Nalan Mingyue, "We can have a feast tonight. Roast snake meat is a delicacy."
Nalan Mingyue shivered. "Stop joking. This beast looks difficult to deal with. If we don't eliminate it, it will eliminate us!"
Ye Kunlun replied with a helpless chuckle, "What? Have you lost confidence in me?"
Nalan Mingyue raised an eyebrow, too annoyed to exchange pleasantries with Ye Kunlun. She gently twitched her spear and charged towards the black python first! Nalan Mingyue was incredibly fast, her charge turning into a blur. Her black spear shot out like a dragon emerging from its cave, piercingly sharp.
Clang—
The spear tip instantly met the black python. Sparks flew as it scraped against the scales that shimmered with a dark metallic sheen! Nalan Mingyue's pupils contracted sharply. She had used seventy percent of her strength in that thrust, yet she couldn't even pierce the python's scales!
Hiss—
Angered by Nalan Mingyue, the python twisted its body violently, stirring up a chilling wind. It swept Nalan Mingyue, spear and all, away.
Whoosh—
The python's massive tail finally emerged from the ground, stretching over ten meters long. With a mighty whip, it swept towards Nalan Mingyue again! Despite its enormous size, the python's speed was astonishing. Wherever it passed, it was like a gale, leaving nothing unharmed!
Nalan Mingyue knew she was no match for the python. She retreated quickly, evading its attack. Even so, the wind generated by the snake's tail grazed her cheek, causing a stinging pain. In the next second, Nalan Mingyue pulled a gun from her waist.
Bang bang bang—
Without a word, she pulled the trigger, firing bullets at the dark mass.
Sizz—
Sparks flew as the bullets struck, but the gun couldn't penetrate the creature's hard scales! Nalan Mingyue was deeply shocked, surprised that the beast's skin was so tough that even a gun couldn't pierce it! In the next moment, she flashed to Ye Kunlun's side, her face grave. She asked in a low voice, "What do we do? This beast is too difficult to handle."
"I already told you, we're having roasted snake meat tonight!" Ye Kunlun replied nonchalantly.
Just then, the python's tail swept towards Ye Kunlun and Nalan Mingyue like a storm! Ye Kunlun sneered and said to Nalan Mingyue, "Lend me your spear!" Before Nalan Mingyue could react, her spear was already in Ye Kunlun's hand! Just as she was about to speak, she realized her spear seemed to become incredibly excited in Ye Kunlun's grip. Yes, excited! At that moment, Nalan Mingyue sensed her spear's emotions!
Holding the spear, Ye Kunlun's aura transformed instantly, as if he were the spear, and the spear was him! As Nalan Mingyue momentarily lost herself, Ye Kunlun made his move. The spear in his hand suddenly shot out, a black light flashing, like a true black dragon, roaring towards the python! The python's massive eyes revealed a trace of fear! It was a suppression from their bloodline. The spear in Ye Kunlun's hand was a dragon, and it was a python!
Thwack—
The spear thrust out, striking the python's sweeping tail. The impenetrable scales were pierced through like thin paper by Ye Kunlun's spear!
Roar—
The python let out a pained roar, its black pupils instantly narrowing into vertical slits. It was enraged! Nalan Mingyue snapped back to reality. Ye Kunlun's previous thrust had given her a realization. The same spear, wielded by different people, produced different results. Nalan Mingyue knew her understanding of the spear was inferior to Ye Kunlun's!
The black python retracted its tail and opened its massive maw, spitting a stream of black liquid towards Ye Kunlun. The black liquid was foul-smelling, clearly highly poisonous. Ye Kunlun lightly shook the spear in his hand, instantly creating a flurry of spear movements. The spear flowers generated powerful air currents, scattering the incoming black liquid! Ye Kunlun shifted his footing, moving in a flash to the python's front, and thrust his spear towards its vulnerable seven-inch point.
Sensing danger, the python knew Ye Kunlun was not to be trifled with. After a series of hisses, it abruptly lowered its body, intending to use its immense weight to push Ye Kunlun back! Ye Kunlun sneered; the beast had made a clever calculation but underestimated him. Nalan Mingyue watched, her heart pounding. Ye Kunlun's figure was insignificant compared to the python. Yet, even so, Ye Kunlun chose to engage the python in close combat with his spear! The python's body pressed forward, its shining black scales exuding a powerful sense of oppression. Ye Kunlun, holding the spear, poured his strength into its shaft, the spearhead flashing with a terrifying green light.
"Today, I will not only eat roasted snake meat, but I will also use your soul to refine this spear!" Ye Kunlun snorted coldly, plunging the spearhead directly into the python's body and giving it a fierce slash!
Hiss—Roar—
The python opened its gaping maw, letting out a mournful, agonizing cry. Ye Kunlun's spear far surpassed its imagination!
Thump—
The python swung its massive head, slamming it towards Ye Kunlun! Ye Kunlun kicked out with his leg, forcefully knocking the snake's head aside, even causing its eyes to see stars. Nalan Mingyue was dumbfounded! Ye Kunlun wasn't fighting the python; it seemed he was just playing with it! Ye Kunlun's spear, flashing with a dark gleam, continued to gut the python. In a short while, the once invincible python was on the verge of death, almost flayed alive by Ye Kunlun!
"Condense!"
Suddenly, Ye Kunlun withdrew his spear, formed a hand seal, and directly imbued a formation into his spear. Simultaneously, Ye Kunlun struck the dying python's head with his palm!
Roar—
A deep sense of unwillingness emanated from the python's throat, but it no longer had the strength to resist. Ye Kunlun's palm directly extracted its beast soul, then sent it into the seal of the spear! As the python's beast soul was sealed into the spear by Ye Kunlun, the spear trembled violently, as if undergoing some transformation. Suddenly, the shaft of the spear sprouted countless exquisite, dimly glowing scales, from tip to tail, dark and bright, exuding a fierce radiance.
Seeing the change in her spear, Nalan Mingyue's expression shifted slightly, and she exclaimed, "Ye Kunlun, what did you do to my spear?" The python's beast soul was only visible to Ye Kunlun; others with insufficient cultivation could not capture it with their naked eyes. Therefore, Nalan Mingyue did not know that Ye Kunlun had sealed the python's beast soul into her spear.
"See for yourself!" Ye Kunlun tossed the spear to Nalan Mingyue. Nalan Mingyue reached out and caught it. Instantly, she sensed the change in the spear. She could even feel the python's beast soul, sealed within the spear, crying out! Within that cry was a deep sense of unwillingness, which then transformed into submission and a desire to please Nalan Mingyue. Furthermore, the power contained within the spear's shaft was now more than ten times stronger than before.
"This... what did you do to my spear?"
"I sealed this beast's soul into your spear to be its weapon spirit!" Ye Kunlun shrugged and replied casually.
