CHAPTER 35: BLAZING PYTHON

[Congratulations! You have learned a peak of Mystic Rank martial arts.

Thousand Veins Bloodlash Sword Art has been learned!

All the yellow peak martial arts will be erased and be replaced by the current and future Mystic Rank martial arts.]

Liu Wei smiled and nodded.

He glanced at the unrecognized patroller and simply watched him, falling into the ground.

His sword hummed in delight, feeling the blood essence being poured by the person the owner killed.

Fire qi suddenly roared, not harming Liu Wei at all.

He felt the warmth though—the attempted communication of the sword to show its affection towards him.

He smiled and said, "I thought our first kill would be a beast. Who would have thought it would be my fellow humans? Unexpected, isn’t it?"

The sword hummed its own fire qi.

Liu Wei heard his voice and was surprised.

"You want more future blood essence and my killing dao? That’ll help you to evolve? Sure. I want to see how you evolve."

The sword hummed intensely, wrapping Liu Wei’s hand with its fire qi that did not scorch his skin.

Liu Wei smiled and patted it with his right hand.

"How adorable."

Then he grasped it with his right hand.

He glanced forward and ventured deep inside the forest, planning to make a killing spree to every beast until dawn appeared.

...

Throughout the night, Liu Wei always encountered fire elemental beasts. He speculated then he was at the east side of the kingdom.

The higher the concentration of a specific elemental qi, the higher the beasts born with the same elemental affinity.

At the same time, the System also voiced her assumption that there might be a high level fire Spirit Veins below the ground.

If Liu Wei could mine it, he would be rich.

However, there was no way that the kingdom did not speculate there was a high possibility there would be Spirit Veins to mine.

In addition, whether there was a Spirit Veins to mine or not does not bother him, since the System would not allow it to exchange Spirit Stones.

What he had to focus at the moment was the Blazing Python he was currently engaged in the battle.

He was about to return towards the Kingdom, when he encountered the hungry python, attacking him endlessly.

If he ran away from it, he would still be unable to, due to the difference between their speed.

Liu Wei, in the end, fought with it.

His sword and the Blazing Python’s fangs collided, as he then took a step back and ran in the forest, taking advantage of the terrain to perform his tactics—attack and retreat.

He clucked his tongue in annoyance.

Despite the sheer amount of blood essence on his sword, making it sharp and powerful than before, and the amount of Blood Qi in terms of quality and quantity he could strengthen it, he still found it difficult to slice through its fangs.

As much as he wanted to pierce through his scales, the Blazing Python would always manage to react in time to expend its fire qi to strengthen its scales, making it as tough as his fangs.

In the end, Liu Wei acknowledged he lacked fighting experience.

If it was an ordinary cultivator, who read his thoughts, they would be dumbfounded.

It was already one thing Liu Wei managed to stand on his ground against a Peak Qi Beast, but it was another thing he was thinking of taking it down.

As Liu Wei ran through the words, he suddenly felt an intense qi gathering behind him.

He frowned and peeked behind, seeing a rather massive fireball being manifested in the widened mouth of the Blazing Python.

Liu Wei grinned.

Even if he tried to evade it, he was unsure if the Blazing Python was indeed that dumb to not be aware of it.

Ever since they clashed, Liu Wei already knew that Blazing Python was born with rich experience in fighting, putting him in a disadvantageous position.

Hence, he had to respond with something that would be unexpected to the Blazing Python.

He had been holding back, not executing a single martial art.

He was fully assessing the Blazing Python.

Since the Blazing Python appeared to go all out, Liu Wei would show one of his trump cards.

He paused and waited for the Blazing Python to finish forming his fireball.

When he felt it was about to reach its peak, he took the stance.

Blood qi began to condense behind the sword.

Liu Wei waited.

Then, the massive fireball bolted towards him and he felt the intense heat.

He merely smiled and performed an overhead slashed when the massive fireball was about to hit him.

The blood qi left a trail behind, like a massive blood moon, stopping the attempt of the fireball to reach Liu Wei.

The massive fireball was cut diagonally and was then dispersed by the fire qi generated from the sword.

The Blazing Python was stunned.

It was also mesmerized by the blood moon that was manifested by Liu Wei’s slash.

However, its mind was then instantly consumed by hunger, dashing forward towards Liu Wei.

Liu Wei grinned.

He decided to go all out now, knowing the Blazing Python seemed to like relying most of the time with its physical ability.

As well as the immediate coating of fire qi to any part of his body to toughen his defense.

That’s why, he wanted to know how lethal what he thought was his strongest attack.

He took the stance again, raising his sword upward, and waited for the Blazing Python to reach him.

As the ground trembled incessantly, winds began to compress and forced the crown of trees and bushes to dance, the final collision between Liu Wei and Blazing Python unfolded.

The Blazing Python, seeing Liu Wei taking the stance to parry his attack once again, thought it made Liu Wei fall to its trap, as it exhausted all of its fire qi on its fangs.

Its actions were conspicuous, and despite knowing how strong its next attack was, Liu Wei merely smiled.

Liu Wei utilized all the blood essence he accumulated after killing beasts and the patroller earlier to the sword, manifesting it, causing the blood qi to emerge and coat the sword heavily.

He also exhausted all of his blood qi.

However, given the difference between their cultivation level, quantity and quality alone, Liu Wei was defeated.

Hence... he used his own vitality to produce more blood essence, eventually gathering Blood Qi in the sword.

He felt anemic, as a result.

Watching the fiery gaze of the Blazing Python, who opened its mouth when it neared him, attempting to swallow him whole, he mumbled and slashed downward.

"Blood Demon Eclipse Slash."
