Yaoguang Fairy Path

The night was as dark as ink. Inside the Monster Forest, there were gusts of cold wind and the trees were swaying as if countless pairs of eyes were watching from the dark.

Ye Shuyao was wearing a tight nightgown and moving swiftly through the woods. Her figure was as agile as the wind, as if she had merged into one with the night wind.

Her face was solemn, her eyes were like torches, and the Ice Soul sword in her hand flashed with a cold light in the moonlight. Every time she swung the sword, it was accompanied by a cold sword energy, as if it could freeze all obstacles in her way.

Behind Ye Shuyao, an ice-blue phoenix, Bingbing, was busy picking Phoenix Fire Spirit Fruits on a treetop not far away.

Her feathers shimmered faintly in the moonlight, and her eyes sparkled with excitement and satisfaction. Every time she picked a spiritual fruit, Bingbing couldn't help drooling, as if the taste of the spiritual fruit had intoxicated her.

"Bingbing, hurry, it's about to wake up!" Ye Shuyao observed the situation inside the cave and called Bingbing anxiously. Although her voice was anxious, her tone was still full of determination and calmness.

When Bingbing heard Ye Shuyao's urging, she immediately quickened her pace, quickly putting the last Phoenix Fire Spirit Fruit into her own space, then flapped her wings and flew high, turning into a blue stream of light, flying rapidly towards Ye Shuyao.

It was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning across the night sky, and it arrived beside Ye Shuyao in an instant.

"Master, I've picked all the fruits!" Bingbing said as she handed the spiritual fruit to Ye Shuyao.

The moment Bingbing handed the spiritual fruit to Ye Shuyao, a smile flashed across her face. She patted its little head and said, "I'll give it to you when I get back." After that, she quickly put the spiritual fruit into her space and said quickly, "Bingbing, we have to leave here quickly."

However, just as the two were about to turn around and leave, a loud roar shook the night sky, and a fifth-level sky-swallowing python rushed out from the darkness, its huge body almost occupying the entire clearing in the forest.

Its scales were gleaming with a faint light, and its eyes were red, as if it could devour everything. The giant python opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and pounced towards Ye Shuyao.

Seeing that the giant python was about to pounce, Ye Shuyao's body suddenly flashed and the Youfeng Step was instantly performed. Under the moonlight, her figure turned into a misty wind shadow, as if it merged into the surrounding air, and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Ye Shuyao's words were full of joking. She smiled at Bingbing beside her and said, "Bingbing, let's have grilled snake meat tonight."

When Bingbing heard this, a glint of excitement flashed in her eyes, and her tongue slid as if she was savoring the delicious scene. She replied with stars in her eyes, "Okay, okay, I haven't eaten meat yet." As soon as she finished speaking, she was ready to help in the battle at any time.

However, the giant python's attack did not stop because of Ye Shuyao's disappearance. It opened its bloody mouth and let out an earth-shaking roar. Its huge tail swept across like a steel whip with destructive power.

At this moment, Ye Shuyao appeared above the giant python's head, and the long sword in her hand chopped down fiercely with the force of thunder. However, the giant python reacted extremely quickly, and swept its huge tail, dissolving her attack into nothingness.

Ye Shuyao was startled. This giant python was quite powerful. Not daring to be careless, she immediately transformed and attacked the python again. This time, she used Lightning Release: Chidori, transforming her body into a streak of lightning in mid-air, piercing the python's vital point.

However, the giant python is not so easy to deal with. It twists its huge body, opens its mouth and spews out black poisonous mist.

Ye Shuyao's body froze and she had to retreat temporarily. She thought to herself that this was not good. This black poisonous fog was extremely overbearing. Once contaminated, the consequences would be disastrous. Ye Shuyao took a deep breath and calmed her mind. She couldn't just let the giant python consume her here.

Her figure flashed again, and her Youfeng Step unfolded like a ghost. She was like a nimble swallow, quickly shuttling through the air, constantly changing positions, looking for the giant python's flaws.

Every attack of the giant python was powerful, but Ye Shuyao could always dodge it skillfully with her keen insight and flexible body movements.

A pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle's kept observing the giant python's movements and reactions, trying to find its weakness.

Ye Shuyao kept thinking. She had just noticed that every attack of the giant python was accompanied by tremendous force, but the recovery speed after the attack was relatively slow. She guessed that this might be the giant python's weakness, but how to seize this weakness was a difficult problem.

Ye Shuyao quickly formulated a strategy in her mind, muttering to herself, "Perhaps I can use my speed and agility to constantly harass it and drain its energy."

At this moment, the giant python seemed to have sensed Ye Shuyao's intention, and its tail swept over again like an iron whip. Ye Shuyao flashed and almost brushed past the giant python's scales, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

While dodging, her eyes inadvertently swept across the python's belly, where the scales appeared sparser than other places, and had a slightly dim luster.

Ye Shuyao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She caught a glimpse of the sparsely scaled area on the python's abdomen. The corners of her mouth lifted involuntarily, a sly smile emerging on her face: "Found it! This must be its weakness!"

She hardly gave herself any time to hesitate and immediately adjusted her attack strategy. Ye Shuyao no longer chose to confront the giant python head-on, but instead used the Wind-Seeing Steps, her figure moving quickly through the air like a ghost, and each movement accurately shortened the distance to the giant python's belly.

There was a gleam of excitement in her eyes, as if she had seen the dawn of victory. The Ice Soul Sword in her hand flashed coldly in the moonlight, and the tip of the sword condensed with the power of thunder, waiting for the opportunity to give the giant python a fatal blow.

At this moment, the giant python swung its tail again, trying to force Ye Shuyao back, and she found the perfect opportunity. Ye Shuyao suddenly flashed, like an arrow from a string, and instantly appeared in the belly of the giant python.

Then, the Ice Soul Sword in her hand, with the force of thunder, stabbed towards the giant python's weak point. This attack was as fast as lightning and unstoppable.

The giant python obviously did not expect Ye Shuyao to attack its weakness so accurately. It was unable to react in time and was deeply stabbed by the sword.

"Roar!" The giant python roared in pain and struggled violently.

Ye Shuyao took advantage of this opportunity and launched a series of attacks. Each sword strike accurately hit the giant python's vital points, gradually draining its physical strength.

Finally, the giant python fell in a pool of blood, unable to move anymore. Ye Shuyao was gasping for breath, but a glimmer of victory was flashing in her eyes.

After Ye Shuyao successfully defeated the Sky-Devouring Python, Bingbing on her shoulder's eyes sparkled with admiration. Her voice was clear and melodious, as if carrying a melody: "Master, your strength is really getting stronger and stronger. Seeing this, I can't help but cheer for you!"

Ye Shuyao smiled slightly, her face filled with the joy of victory: "Of course." After that, she turned around and began to deal with her spoils.

She first took out an exquisite jade box from the storage bag, carefully placed the inner elixir of the Sky-Swallowing Python into it, gently closed the lid, and put it into her own space.

Then, Ye Shuyao held the Bingpo sword in her hand and gently scratched the belly of the giant python with the tip of the sword. A piece of tender snake meat was neatly cut off. "Next, it's time for our dinner." Ye Shuyao said to Bingbing, and started to make a fire to grill the meat.

The fire was dancing in the forest at night, and the flames reflected on the faces of Ye Shuyao and Bingbing. Ye Shuyao skillfully turned the snake meat, occasionally sprinkling some of her homemade seasoning on it, making the aroma spread everywhere.
