So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Ling Jiuan slowly put away her sword. The sweat on her face had not yet dried, but it could no longer conceal the excitement and anticipation in her eyes.

She looked at Lei Tingyi with a hint of relief in her tone.

"almost."

Lei Tingyi nodded calmly, with a hint of approval flashing in his deep eyes.

He stood up, dusted himself off, and spoke calmly.

"Let's go and find an exit to break the barrier."

Ling Jiuan frowned and asked in confusion.

"Can't you break the barrier?"

Lei Tingyi shook his head, a look of helplessness on his face.

"I only have half my strength now, I can't break it."

Hearing this, Ling Jiuan couldn't help but sigh. Although she felt a little disappointed, she didn't show it.

So she smiled and tried to lighten the mood.

"Okay, let's look around. It shouldn't be hard to find."

The two walked out of the cold pond one after the other, the sunlight shining on them, bringing a touch of warmth.

Lei Tingyi suddenly stopped in place, his expression stern, his eyes fixed on a spiritual medicine in front of him.

"Arisaema heterophylla!"

Ling Jiuan followed his gaze and saw a strange magical medicine shining in the sunlight.

She couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"what happened?"

Lei Tingyi did not answer her immediately, but stared at the elixir as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

After a while, he spoke slowly, with some excitement in his voice.

"Wait for me, I need that elixir."

Ling Jiuan followed his gaze and saw the Arisaema confusa swaying in the sunlight, as if waving to them.

She asked subconsciously.

"I go?"

Lei Tingyi shook his head, a serious look on his face.

"Oh my god, this kind of elixir is rare and usually has a guardian beast. Be careful and don't get discovered."

After saying this, he walked towards the magical medicine carefully.

Lei Tingyi approached the glittering Arisaema cautiously, feeling both nervous and expectant.

However, just as he was about to touch the exciting elixir, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

He turned around suddenly and saw a five-meter-tall giant snake suddenly appearing in front of him, with its cold snake eyes staring at him.

"hiss……"

The giant snake stuck out its tongue, making a creepy sound.

Then, it attacked Lei Tingyi fiercely, and the surrounding spiritual energy began to fluctuate violently, as if the entire space was shaking.

Lei Tingyi subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but the giant snake's power was far beyond his imagination.

The giant snake swung its tail and swept Lei Tingyi away in an instant.

He rolled several times in the air, barely able to keep his body steady, and finally landed heavily next to Ling Jiuan.

"How are you?"

Ling Jiuan quickly helped Lei Tingyi up, his eyes full of worry.

Lei Tingyi was about to wave his hand to indicate that he was fine, but he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale instantly.

Ling Jiuan frowned, and his worry became even greater.

"You can't even beat it?"

Lei Tingyi looked up at the giant snake in front of him, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

"Seven-star python?"

He murmured softly, seeming to recognize the origin of the giant snake.

However, just as he finished his words, the giant snake suddenly retracted its tongue and transformed into a half-human, half-snake creature.

The half-human, half-snake monster looked at Lei Tingyi with mockery in his eyes.

"He does have some good eyesight. But anyone who enters this barrier and intends to pick Arisaema heterophyllum will die!"

His voice was cold and cruel, as if sentencing Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan to death.

Lei Tingyi looked coldly at the half-human, half-snake monster in front of him, with a sneer on his lips.

Although he was shocked by the other party's strength in his heart, he did not show it on his face.

"Peak of Golden Core? He's about to break through to Nascent Soul, so he does have some skills."

Ling Jiuan, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

Although she didn't know much about the realm of cultivation, she knew that masters in the Nascent Soul stage were rare in the entire Chenzhou.

"Nascent Soul... According to the original owner's memory, there doesn't seem to be a single Nascent Soul expert in the entire Chenzhou!"

She muttered to herself, feeling that the situation was becoming increasingly serious.

However, she did not show any fear, but just stood closely beside Lei Tingyi, ready to deal with possible danger at any time.

The half-human, half-snake monster looked at Lei Tingyi with a smug smile on his face.

He seemed to enjoy the feeling of being in control and was happy to show off his strength in front of his enemies.

"You're not bad either, your strength is on par with mine. It's a pity that you're unlucky, and your spiritual power has been sealed now, right?"

He said this sarcastically, as if he had already seen the scene of Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan being captured.

However, Lei Tingyi was not angered or shaken by his words.

"In this situation, you can't even take a single blow from me. In that case, then prepare to die!"

The half-man, half-snake monster grinned and prepared to attack.

However, at this moment, Ling Jiuan suddenly spoke.

"Lei Tingyi is also at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Although she was asking, her tone revealed a sense of affirmation and expectation.

She looked at Lei Tingyi's back, and an inexplicable sense of trust surged in her heart.

She believed that no matter what kind of enemy she faced, Lei Tingyi would be able to protect her.

When Lei Tingyi heard this, he did not turn back to look at Ling Jiuan.

He just spoke calmly.

"Want to kill me? Dream on."

These few short words seemed to give Ling Jiuan a reassurance.

Lei Tingyi took a deep breath and circulated the spiritual energy in his body.

I saw blue electric light begin to appear around his body, winding and swimming like a dragon, and against his resolute face, he looked even more brave and fearless.

At the same time, the giant snake was also ready to go. It opened its bloody mouth and suddenly spit out a ball of rich spiritual power. The spiritual power condensed into a huge ball of light in the air, flashing a heart-pounding light.

"go with!"

With a roar from the giant snake, the spiritual light ball shot out like a cannonball, whistling towards Lei Tingyi with destructive power.

Lei Tingyi's eyes were determined. He clenched his fists, condensed the thousands of thunders in his hands into a thick bolt of lightning, and threw it forward fiercely.

"Boom!"

In a flash, the two forces collided violently in the air, making a deafening noise.

The entire space seemed to tremble at this moment, the earth was shaking and the mountains were trembling, which was heart-pounding.

At the intersection of spiritual power and electric light, a dazzling light burst out, as if it was going to swallow up the entire world.

In an instant, spiritual power exploded, forming a powerful shock wave that spread in all directions.

Lei Tingyi was the first to be hit. He was shocked by the force and retreated repeatedly, his face turning slightly pale.

But the giant snake remained motionless.

"Huh, what a small skill."

The giant snake laughed sarcastically, with a hint of disdain in its eyes.
