The Emperor's Domineering Favor, the Evil Consort's Unparalleled Reign

Ying Li's expression changed drastically, and he quickly dodged away! This was the first time in his life that Ying Li had ever seen such a gigantic python. He couldn't think about spiritual cultivation anymore; running for his life was the most important thing!

These giant pythons were either third-tier or second-tier spirit beasts; Ying Li's mortal body was simply no match for them. An unprecedented panic grew within Ying Li's heart. She had only been out for a day and had already encountered such danger. Besides Jin'an Kingdom, how many more calamities awaited her?

"Hiss!" The hissing sound came swiftly. Ying Li stomped his right foot on the ground, threw his body upward, and began to climb up the mountain wall with both hands. But how could such speed be a match for the giant python!

Before long, Ying Li was cornered by the giant python in front of a mountain wall. With the python in front of him and no way to retreat, Ying Li trembled uncontrollably, cold sweat pouring down his back. He glanced down at the withered bone ring on his right hand, which was dull and lifeless, as if it were a dead object. No matter how much Ying Li shouted, he received no response.

"Since that's the case, then I'll fight you to the death!" Ying Li roared in a low voice. Instantly, his spiritual power surged, and a thick barrier of dazzling blue light formed in front of him to block the giant python's sudden attack.

Ying Li stood behind the barrier, watching the giant python's gaping maw tear at it. She bit her lip tightly, gathered spiritual energy in her hands, and continuously expanded the barrier's range.

"hiss!"

"Boom!"

With a single blow, countless fragments of rock struck Ying Li, blood trickling from her forehead and her face turning deathly pale. The salty, fishy smell from the python's mouth grew stronger and stronger. Ying Li saw that the liquid flowing from the python's mouth was gradually corroding her spiritual energy barrier. Seeing that the barrier was about to break, Ying Li hardened her heart.

This is not a solution. She needs to attack and actively find the python's weakest point.

Thinking of this, Ying Li suddenly dispelled the spiritual energy barrier in front of her. She flashed and shot towards the back of the giant python. The spiritual energy sword that quickly formed in her right hand gleamed with a cold light. The next second, Ying Li flashed behind the giant python and stabbed it fiercely at the top of the python's head!

"Hiss!" In an instant, yellow blood splattered everywhere, covering Ying Li's body and face. The stench was overwhelming. Ying Li's expression changed. Just as he was about to strike again, the giant python twisted its long tail and lashed out at Ying Li!

Ying Li instinctively drew his spirit sword and blocked with his backhand. The moment his spiritual power came into contact with the giant python's long tail, Ying Li's expression changed drastically. His body was swept aside by the giant python like a kite with a broken string, and he slammed hard against the mountain wall!

"Pfft!" A mouthful of salty, metallic taste spurted from her throat. Ying Li felt as if her liver and gallbladder were about to burst. She pressed her right hand tightly against her chest, and a burning pain shot through her back. For a moment, her mind went blank, and her vision blurred.

This is not a spiritual cultivation mountain at all; it has no spiritual power whatsoever. The giant python in front of her is not a spiritual beast either. It is clearly the legendary evil beast, the Devouring Spirit Python, which absorbs the spiritual power of cultivators to cultivate its inner core and violently kills poor villagers. No wonder she felt that it looked familiar from the beginning.

Looking down at the lifeless, withered bone ring, he felt a pang of guilt at being deceived.

Ying Li stared intently at the Devouring Python, its gaping maw drawing ever closer. A fierce glint flashed in her eyes. She had endured fifteen years of humiliation and abuse, but now, reborn from the ashes, she would never tolerate such treatment again!

Gathering spiritual energy in his hands, Ying Li summoned courage from an unknown source, and suddenly dark clouds appeared in the sky, countless layers of dark clouds rolling in. The dark clouds pressed down, thunder rumbled, and Ying Li, his eyes cold, clasped his hands together and unleashed a powerful strike towards the sky! The Bone Ring suddenly shone with a brilliant blue light, spiritual energy surging forth. Under the layers of radiating spiritual energy, Spirit Cultivation Mountain was as bright as day!

"what!"

Seeing this momentum, the Devouring Python's yellowish eyes flashed with panic. Then, in the next second, it made a desperate move, opening its blood-red maw and gathering black spirits to strike Ying Li, who was casting a lightning spell!

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

"..."

A devastating sound resounded, the mountain wall collapsed suddenly, wind and thunder approached, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and ten thousand bolts of heavenly thunder roared above the Devouring Spirit Python's head. In just an instant, the evil beast Devouring Spirit, which had been extremely violent just moments before, was reduced to dust by a bolt of lightning!
