Rise of the Otherworld.

The giant python locked onto Zhang Hao and the mysterious man, about to deliver a fatal blow. In that instant, the air seemed to freeze, and the shadow of death loomed over everyone like a dark cloud. At this critical moment, the woman had an idea. She knew that if she didn't act now, everyone's lives would be in danger. So, she unleashed a mind-controlling spell. Her hands danced swiftly, her fingers like nimble butterflies, tracing mysterious paths through the air. She muttered a spell, and the incantation swirled and intertwined like an invisible thread in the air. A soft pink light shot towards the giant python. The light seemed delicate, like the first rays of spring morning light, but it held a disturbing power, as if it could penetrate the barriers of the soul.

The giant python was struck by the light, and its once cold, murderous eyes instantly became confused. Its massive body trembled slightly, like a leaf drifting in the autumn wind, and its initial movement to attack came to an abrupt halt. It slowly twisted its body in place, as if trapped in a hazy dream. The focus of its eyes gradually faded, and its once ferocious aura weakened.

"Don't miss the opportunity!" the woman shouted. Her voice trembled slightly with nervousness, but it echoed in the cave like a loud bell, sending a signal of hope to everyone.

Zhang Hao and the mysterious man endured the excruciating pain, the pain like sharp steel needles piercing deep into their bones. But they knew they couldn't retreat at this moment, and they quickly stood up. Zhang Hao once again focused his spiritual power on his sword. This time, his eyes were filled with determination, as if burning with a blazing flame. He knew this might be their last chance; if they failed, endless darkness awaited them. Not to be outdone, the mysterious man's hands shone with a blue light, like the depths of the ocean, condensing into an even more powerful water ball. Electricity flickered and crackled on the surface of the water ball, as if accumulating destructive power.

Lingyu circled around the python's side, his figure elusive like a ghost, appearing and disappearing in the dust and light, searching for the right moment. His eyes were fixed on the python, sharp as a hawk's, not missing a single flaw. The old man also stood ready, his hands gleaming with an earthy yellow light, like the radiance of the earth, ready to cast a spell to support the others. The light seemed to speak of calmness and determination.

Zhang Hao seized the opportunity and rushed towards the giant python like a flash of black lightning. He leaped high, pushing his feet against the cave wall, leveraging the force to reach even greater speed. The longsword in his hand, emitting a sharp aura like a howling gale, pierced the giant python's eyes fiercely. The mysterious man also attacked at the same time, throwing the water ball in his hand towards the giant python's eyes. During its flight, the water ball suddenly split into countless smaller balls, shooting towards the giant python's eyes from different directions like a scattering of flowers from the sky. These small water balls shimmered with a blue light, like bright stars in the night sky, but they also carried a deadly danger.

Seeing the two men launch their attacks, Ling Yu also quickly rushed towards the giant python. Taking advantage of the python's distraction, he suddenly thrust his dagger into the gap between the scales below the python's eye. This was a relatively vulnerable spot he had previously observed, and he knew that this strike must be precise and powerful. The dagger flashed coldly in his hand, like a sharp blade in the cold night, carrying his determination and courage.

The giant python seemed to sense the danger, and at the last moment, it woke up from the influence of the mind-control spell. It roared angrily, and the sound was like a landslide, shaking the stone walls of the cave and causing gravel to fall. It wanted to dodge the attack, but it was too late. Zhang Hao's sword pierced its left eye, and most of the sword was sunken, and blood spurted out like a fountain. The mysterious man's water balls also hit the area around its eyes, and electric currents flashed on its scales, making crackling sounds. Lingyu's dagger also successfully pierced the gap between the scales, and with a strong stroke, it tore a large hole, and green blood flowed down the dagger.

The giant python let out a piercing scream, a sound that seemed to pierce the soul and send chills down one's spine. Blood streamed from its left eye like a red waterfall, and its body twisted wildly. Its tail lashed wildly, shattering the surrounding rocks. Stones flew everywhere, scattering through the cave like cannonballs. Dust billowed again, filling the cave like a thick fog, obscuring everyone's vision. Caught off guard by this sudden turn of events, everyone dodged the flying rocks.

However, this attack inflicted heavy damage on the python. Its movements became even slower, and every twist of its body was accompanied by a painful roar. It was no longer as aggressive as before, and a hint of fear and struggle now lingered in its once fierce eyes. The group seized this opportunity and prepared to attack again, attempting to completely eliminate the python and bring this thrilling battle to a close...
