Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Upon seeing the giant python attack, Shangguan Wan instinctively drew her sword to block it.

After exchanging a single blow, Shangguan Wan realized that the giant python in front of her was actually a peak fourth-tier demon beast, whose strength was not simple.

The giant python that fought Shangguan Wan was even more terrified.

"It was clearly severely injured by me."

How could the injuries have healed in just one day!

It turns out that demonic beasts at the Demon King level have already formed a complete soul within their bodies, so even if their bodies die, their souls can still survive for a period of time.

If a way to prolong life can be found within this period, one can live another life.

The giant python demon king that Shangguan Wan killed earlier had its soul quietly escape after its body died.

Since the soul is invisible, it cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan did not discover that the giant python demon king's soul had escaped.

Shangguan Wan was already somewhat conscious at the time and did not think of this.

Subsequently, the escaped giant python demon king's soul happened to encounter a demon beast army returning from the depths of the Azure Demon Mountain Range, and thus seized the opportunity to possess a giant python demon beast at the peak of the fourth tier.

After spending a day getting used to his new body, the giant python demon king couldn't wait to seek revenge on Shangguan Wan.

Of course, more importantly, it was to seize the treasures that Shangguan Wan had previously obtained deep in the Qingyao Mountains.

He had seen that treasure with his own eyes; it was a rare treasure that could strengthen the soul, a fifth-grade spiritual herb, the Thousand Nights Soul Flower.

Originally, treasures that can strengthen the soul are already extremely precious, many times more precious than millennium-old spiritual milk.

However, due to the possession of another body, the current body of the giant python demon king is not as good as its original body, which has led to a decline in its cultivation aptitude. Its hope of breaking through to the demon king realm in the future is extremely slim.

However, if the Thousand Nights Soul Flower is obtained, the soul will be further enhanced, and the Giant Python Demon King will have the opportunity to break through the limitations of the physical body and advance to the level of a Great Demon King once again.

Therefore, the Giant Python Demon King was determined to obtain the Thousand Nights Soul Flower from Shangguan Wan.

However, it did not expect that Shangguan Wan's serious injuries would be healed in just one day.

The key is that Shangguan Wan is a prodigy of the Qingyun Sword Sect, with unparalleled strength. Ordinary peak fourth-order demonic beasts are no match for her at all.

Moreover, this body was possessed by the giant python demon king for a very short time, so it was impossible for it to fully utilize the body's power.

Therefore, the giant python demon king was no match for Shangguan Wan at this moment, and he was already injured in just a few moves.

Fortunately, thanks to the powerful reflexes of the Demon King's soul, it repeatedly avoided fatal blows and did not die under Shangguan Wan's sword.

As for Shangguan Wan, she was already extremely angry, and the arrival of the giant python demon king was like walking into the line of fire, becoming her punching bag.

Therefore, Shangguan Wan changed her usual gentle fighting style and became extremely fierce, with every move aimed at killing.

This made the giant python demon king even more miserable.

As a demon king, the giant python demon king was always the one bullying others; he had never suffered such humiliation before.

Immediately, the giant python demon king hardened its heart, separated a portion of its power from its soul, formed a pink poisonous mist, and sprayed it towards Shangguan Wan.

Moreover, to ensure success, the giant python demon king increased the dosage of the poisonous fog this time.

In an instant, the entire cave was shrouded in pink poisonous mist.

Upon seeing the familiar poisonous fog, Shangguan Wan was immediately reminded of painful memories.

At the same time, he also remembered the fact that powerful demon kings could possess other people's bodies.

With both old and new grudges combined, Shangguan Wan erupted like a giant volcano.

"Draw the Soul-Destroying Sword, and die!"

The word "death" had barely left her lips when an invisible scissor flew out from between Shangguan Wan's eyebrows. Then, under the incredulous gaze of the giant python demon king, it pierced directly into its soul, giving it a piercing and exhilarating experience.

With his soul destroyed, the giant python demon king was truly dead this time, with no chance of survival whatsoever.

Looking at the completely lifeless giant python demon king, Shangguan Wan's anger dissipated considerably.

However, before she could even feel happy, she felt a pair of hands tightly wrapping around her waist from behind.

These hands belong to Chu Yunfan.

Because the giant python demon king's poisonous mist had filled the entire cave, Chu Yunfan was not spared and inhaled some of it.

Chu Yunfan's strength was far inferior to that of the giant python demon king, so he had no resistance to the poisonous fog and his condition immediately began to flare up violently.

Shangguan Wan was not far in front of him, so his body involuntarily moved closer to her and then embraced her slender and soft waist.

As for Shangguan Wan, she was the first to be affected by the giant python demon king. She had already inhaled a lot of poisonous mist, and when Chu Yunfan provoked her, her body immediately reacted.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.

Having learned from her previous experience, Shangguan Wan was still somewhat conscious, but her body did not feel any resistance.

And so, the two of them were like dry tinder meeting a raging fire, instantly igniting a fierce flame.

……

After a long, long time, the noise the two made gradually subsided.

This time, Shangguan Wan did not point her sword at Chu Yunfan again. As if she had come to terms with it, she left the cave without saying a word.

Chu Yunfan felt a strange sense of loss as he watched her leave with a cold expression.

Although there was no romantic feeling between the two, they had already formed an inseparable bond.

Just when Chu Yunfan thought that Shangguan Wan had disappeared, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the cave.

"If you can escape from this fourth-tier monster area on your own, it will prove that you are not destined to die."

Let's leave it at that for today!

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan immediately rushed out of the cave.

However, the outside was completely empty, with no trace of Shangguan Wan left.

When Chu Yunfan recalled Shangguan Wan's words, he felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Shangguan Wan didn't lay a hand on him, if the sect found out about this, Chu Yunfan would definitely be torn to pieces and die a thousand deaths.

You must understand that every chief disciple is the apple of the eye of each peak master, treated like their own flesh and blood.

Which peak master could tolerate his beloved disciple suffering such injustice?

Since Shangguan Wan herself is no longer pursuing the matter, and Chu Yunfan himself is even less likely to spread it, then it truly remains a secret known only to heaven and earth.

However, what Chu Yunfan is facing now is still a fatal problem.

He wanted to get out of here, and along the way he would definitely pass through the territories of many fourth-tier demonic beasts, as well as third-tier demonic beasts.

This journey was truly fraught with peril, a near-death experience.

"It's at least better than being torn to pieces by the peak masters; that would truly be a death sentence!"

Chu Yunfan gave a bitter smile, and could only console himself with this thought.
