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

Despite its large size, the python was incredibly fast. With a twist of its body, it covered a distance of several dozen meters in the blink of an eye and quickly caught up with the girl and her companions.

Upon seeing this, everyone's faces immediately changed drastically in fright.

At this critical moment, the old man stepped forward.

"Miss, you take them and escape from the valley first. I'll stall it for a while!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man appeared behind the group and then unleashed a powerful palm strike at the giant python.

"Gentle Breeze Palm!"

As the old man's voice rang out, a transparent palm made of spiritual energy instantly formed in front of him and then attacked the giant python.

However, the giant python's defense was incredibly strong. The spiritual energy palm landed on the python, only causing it to retreat a little distance, but leaving it completely unharmed.

Of course, this is also related to the Qingfeng Palm technique used by the old man.

The Gentle Breeze Palm is not known for its power, but rather for its continuous attacks.

As soon as the previous spiritual energy hand disappeared, another identical spiritual energy hand formed and flew towards the giant python.

This time, the giant python retreated a distance again.

The girl and her companions took the opportunity to escape some distance.

Seeing this, the giant python flicked its tongue, emitting a piercing hiss. Then, it was seen that the giant python disregarded the power of the Qingfeng Palm and charged directly at the old man, meeting the palm strike head-on.

Seeing the giant python's desperate stance, the old man was startled, but he still gritted his teeth and continued his attack.

To his surprise, the giant python's charge actually broke through his Qingfeng Palm with its immense power, and then its huge mouth swallowed him whole.

Seeing this, the old man lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his body instantly floated backward.

At the same time, a soft shout resounded in the old man's heart.

"Gentle Breeze Step!"

"Qingfeng Step" is a second-tier movement technique.

So-called movement techniques are martial arts that use spiritual power to achieve the effect of rapid movement. Some can be used for long-distance travel, while others can be used to quickly change positions in battle.

The "Gentle Breeze Step" used by the old man is more suited for short-distance, rapid movement in combat.

That's why the old man was able to escape the giant python's attempt to devour him.

However, although the old man dodged the attack, the giant python was faster than him and caught up with him in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the old man continued to use the Gentle Breeze Step to dodge.

In order to prevent the giant python from catching up with the girl and the others, the old man did not continue to dodge backward, but instead dodged to the side.

However, this put the old man back into the attack range of the giant python's tail.

The enormous snake tail swept towards the old man.

The whistling wind was enough to demonstrate the immense power of that strike.

If hit, the old man would either die or be seriously injured.

At the critical moment, the old man fell backward, almost touching the ground, barely managing to dodge the attack.

However, before the old man could get up, the giant python's gaping maw, filled with a foul stench, reappeared before him.

The saliva from the snake's tongue had already dripped onto the old man's face.

At this critical moment, a flash of light appeared in the old man's hand, and he took out a red bead from his storage bag and threw it into the giant python's mouth.

Then the old man circulated his spiritual energy, and a spiritual energy shield enveloped his entire body.

A moment later, a loud bang rang out from the giant python's mouth, followed by the python's painful roar. The old man was not spared either and was blasted away.

However, protected by the spiritual energy shield, the old man only suffered minor injuries.

However, the old man underestimated the strength of this giant python.

Although the explosion seemed loud, it only caused minor injuries to the giant python.

This damage enraged the python, making its attacks even more ferocious.

The old man had just gotten up from the ground when he was whipped away by the giant python's tail, spitting blood in mid-air.

Fortunately, the python hadn't used its full strength in its haste.

Otherwise, the old man's condition would have been much worse than just vomiting blood.

Fortunately, the giant python's attack had just sent the old man flying towards the entrance.

The old man, realizing that the girl and the others had escaped from the valley, also took the opportunity to escape from the valley.

What the old man didn't expect was that as soon as he escaped, a loud noise came from behind him. It turned out that the giant python had smashed a large hole in the entrance and chased after him.

Meanwhile, the girl and her companions were not far ahead.

Seeing this, the old man secretly thought to himself that something was wrong.

Generally speaking, even when monsters are hunting humans, they rarely leave their own territory.

However, the old man had just injured the giant python, which enraged the python, causing it to chase him out of the valley.

The girl and her companions also saw the giant python that had chased after them, and were immediately terrified, their faces turning pale.

In particular, when the girl saw the bloodstains on the old man, tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried out:

"Grandpa Ming, are you alright?"

Before the old man could reply to the girl's concern, the giant python charged at him again.

At the same time, Chu Yunfan, who had just left the valley, suddenly heard a huge commotion at the entrance of the valley, so he secretly rushed back to see what had happened.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered the battle between the giant python and the old man.

"Such a huge python must be at the peak of the second tier of cultivation!"

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfan discovered the large hole behind the giant python, and a guess immediately formed in his mind.

"Could this giant python have come out of the valley?"

The thought of this possibility brought back memories of what had happened before.

"No wonder the medicinal herbs in the valley are not guarded by any demonic beasts; it turns out it's because of this big guy."

However, there are peak second-tier demonic beasts here.

That means there are precious second-tier spiritual herbs in the valley.

The key is that the giant python has now left the valley, making it the perfect time to enter!

When Chu Yunfan thought of this, he was immediately excited.

"However, the place where the giant python and the old man fought is a bit close to the entrance of the valley, so it's not easy to sneak in."

While watching the battle, Chu Yunfan was also thinking about how to enter the valley.

A moment later, Chu Yunfan suddenly had an idea.

"The original entrance to the valley was a small cave."

In that case, I can just make another cave myself and sneak in!

With that in mind, Chu Yunfan acted immediately.

The old man had cleared away the weeds at the entrance, making the entrance quite obvious.

However, a large patch of weeds still grows near this entrance.

Chu Yunfan secretly slipped into the pile of weeds from the side, then took out the Snow Frost Sword from his storage ring and began his digging project.

If Nalan Xue knew that the top-grade spiritual weapon sword she gave to Chu Yunfan had been used by Chu Yunfan to dig a hole, I wonder what she would think.

Of course, that's true, but the Snow Cold Sword was incredibly sharp and was perfect for digging tunnels. In just a few minutes, Chu Yunfan had dug a small hole leading into the valley.

Chu Yunfan turned his head and saw that the giant python was still fighting the old man.

Although the old man was not as strong as the giant python, he had many tricks up his sleeve and managed to hold the python back for the time being.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan quickly ran towards the depths of the valley.
