Reversing the Milky Way

Upon hearing this, Sen Lei couldn't help but glance at Bai Cheng again.

"Good lad, you've got guts! Facing a high-level demonic beast, you don't back down!"

However, he did not know that Bai Cheng had already faced scenarios that were many times more terrifying than this.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sen Lei launched another attack. At this moment, the Purple Poison Python was already trapped by Sen Lei's Wood Spirit Lock, but in just a few seconds, it shook its huge body and broke all the chains that Sen Lei had condensed with his own spiritual power.

In an instant, the earth shook violently. Sen Lei raised his hand and flung out a strangely shaped blade from his storage bag, just like the blade of a fan.

Immediately afterwards, the blade slowly expanded into a huge phantom under Sen Lei's control, as Sen Lei shouted.

"Mystic Wood Spirit Blade!"

Immediately afterwards, the huge phantom spun towards the Purple Poison Python, which had broken free of control, and crashed straight into the Purple Poison Python like a spinning top.

However, the scales on the Purple Poisonous Python's body were like iron armor, sparking intensely as they collided with the Xuanmu Spirit Blade. Seeing this, Bai Cheng couldn't help but be shocked.

'It seems that the defenses of this high-level demonic beast are difficult to break through with ordinary techniques and weapons. Sen Lei's Xuanmu Spirit Blade appears to be only a high-grade magic weapon. If even this attack can't break through the Purple Poison Demon Python's defenses, then we'll have to stall them while we try to find a solution.'

After being struck, the Purple Poisonous Python became completely enraged. It twisted its huge body and roared. With a powerful flick of its massive tail, it sent Sen Lei's Xuanmu Spirit Blade flying, creating ripples in the forest.

Bai Cheng, who was watching from the sidelines, was almost hit by the huge shockwave. He quickly went to the back of the Purple Poisonous Python's huge body, then looked down at the dagger in his hand. It was the same dagger that Chen Ping had given him to use when dissecting spirit beasts.

Immediately afterward, he channeled his spiritual power into his weapon, and the dagger in his hand instantly crackled with golden lightning. Then, Bai Cheng leaped forward, wielding the dagger and fiercely stabbing it into the back of the Purple Poisonous Python.

However, just as Bai Cheng plunged his dagger into the scales of the demonic python, something astonishing happened. Due to the excessive force he used, the dagger shattered instantly upon contact with the scales, while the area of ​​the scales he attacked remained completely unharmed.

Meanwhile, the Purple Poison Python, which was locked in combat with Sen Lei, suddenly turned its head after sensing the abnormality on its back. The moment it saw Bai Cheng, it swiftly spewed out a cloud of purple poisonous smoke from its mouth.

Seeing this, Bai Cheng knew the terror of the poisonous smoke. He quickly activated his spiritual power and moved to the other side of the Purple Poisonous Python. As thick purple smoke rose around them, Sen Lei also quickly created distance.

"Brother Sen!"

Sen Lei looked down and found that Bai Chengcheng had already come down to him.

"Bai Cheng, you're actually alright?!"

"I'm fine. That beast can't catch me. It's just a pity that the weapon I have is too weak."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a long spear was thrust into Bai Cheng's face.

"This is my other weapon. Take it and use it first. Remember, our goal is to delay. The steward of the Bai family's backyard is already on his way here."

Bai Cheng took the spear and nodded.

"Don't worry, Brother Sen."

As soon as he finished speaking, the purple smoke dissipated. Immediately afterward, the enormous body of the Purple Poisonous Python burst through the smoke and charged straight at Bai Cheng.

Upon seeing this, Bai Cheng remained calm. He instantly unleashed his spiritual power, dodging the attack with astonishing speed. Sen Lei was greatly surprised by Bai Cheng's actions.

"So fast!"

After a cloud of dust cleared, Bai Cheng was already a hundred meters away. He was examining the spear in his hand. Judging from its weight, the spear weighed two hundred jin (approximately 100 kg) and was a high-grade magic weapon.

'My attack just now must have caused my weapon to shatter due to the immense impact. Although I don't know exactly how strong the defense of high-level demonic beasts is, the scales of the Grinding-Toothed Tiger Fish and the scales of this Purple Poisonous Python are almost at the same level of defense. Since my spiritual power could break through the former, then this Purple Poisonous Python can certainly do the same. Besides, after these few days of rest, my spiritual power is at its peak.'

Just as Bai Cheng was thinking this, he saw the Purple Poisonous Python rushing towards him. Without stopping, Bai Cheng quickly turned around and ran away.

The Purple Poisonous Python seemed to have its sights set on Bai Cheng. Its massive body moved swiftly through the forest, its fifty-meter-long form moving at astonishing speed. Bai Cheng no longer had time to look back, because he noticed that ever since he began circulating his spiritual energy, the beast seemed to have become much more aggressive towards him.

Just then, Sen Lei's voice came from above.

Bai Cheng ran southwest! That was the direction Butler Qing had come from.

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng immediately ran in the direction Sen Lei pointed. However, the enormous figure of the Purple Poisonous Python behind him was getting closer and closer. Hearing the sounds coming from behind, Bai Cheng's heart trembled.

"Wow, being big really has its advantages! I'm already running at my maximum speed, but this monster is actually faster than me!"

Just then, Bai Cheng, who was running, suddenly felt a tightness in his heart. He quickly leaped into the air.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the Purple Poisonous Python open its huge mouth and pounce on the spot where he had just been. Its enormous power instantly snapped a large tree in half in front of it.

At this moment, Bai Cheng also saw the gaping maw of the Purple Poisonous Python. Rows of sharp teeth resembled cutting machines. Suddenly, he thought of a possible attack. However, Bai Cheng did not stop. After landing on the ground, he continued to run forward with all his might.

At this moment, in order to cover Bai Cheng, Sen Lei quickly took out a Heavenly Flame Fire Talisman, and with his control, the talisman began to burn in the air. Then, dozens of huge fireballs quickly attacked the Purple Poison Python on the ground.

Upon sensing the attack, the Purple Poison Python quickly stopped, then turned its head and immediately spat out purple poisonous smoke at the incoming fireball, followed by a series of violent explosions.

The Heavenly Flame Separation Fire Talisman was merely a low-level high-grade talisman. Sen Lei, who originally thought its attack effect would be minimal, was somewhat surprised when he saw the fireball collide with the poisonous smoke and explode. He was taken aback to see that the Purple Poisonous Python's poisonous smoke was actually being pushed back under the explosion of the fireball. This was unexpected, considering that the Purple Poisonous Python was a high-level demon beast, while the Heavenly Flame Separation Fire Talisman was a move created at the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. In terms of power, they were not even in the same league.

As dozens of fireballs exploded, Sen Lei seized the opportunity to condense dozens of spirit swords that broke through the smoke and dust and attacked the Purple Poison Demon Python. The Purple Poison Demon Python reacted quickly and swung its huge snake tail to knock away all the incoming spirit swords.

Upon witnessing this scene, Sen Lei cursed under his breath.

"Damn it, it still doesn't work. Do I have to use the Heaven-Slaying Talisman?"

However, the Purple Poisonous Python did not linger, but continued to chase after Bai Cheng. At this time, Bai Cheng also recovered from the chase, and in just a few seconds, Bai Cheng had increased the distance between himself and the Purple Poisonous Python by several hundred meters.

He immediately stopped and turned to look in the direction he had come from. After taking a deep breath, Bai Cheng's face became increasingly ferocious, as he was now concentrating all the spiritual power in his body onto the spear in his hand.

"Since external attacks can't break through the defenses, I'll try attacking from the inside!"

After saying that, he increased the speed at which he gathered his spiritual power. He had never gathered so much spiritual power on a weapon before. Under the infusion of his spiritual power, the spear began to flash with golden arcs of electricity. Gradually, the golden arcs of electricity expanded, forming a magnetic storm about three meters in diameter centered on the weapon, like a discharging Tesla coil.

Just then, the Purple Poisonous Python shook off Sen Lei's attack and twisted its huge body as it rushed towards Bai Cheng.

However, Sen Lei also saw Bai Cheng, who had stopped, following the direction of the Purple Poisonous Python.

"Bai Cheng, what are you doing?! Run!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the long spear in Bai Cheng's hand. At the same time, he recognized that the spear was now unleashing its spiritual power of lightning. Upon seeing this, he was shocked, and his expression even became obviously stiff.

"This! This is actually lightning-attribute spiritual power!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Bai Cheng's expression turn fierce, and after a loud shout, he leaped high into the air. Seeing this, Sen Lei instinctively opened his mouth in shock, and at the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.

'What's this kid up to?! He's not going to...!'

At this moment, Bai Cheng, who was leaping into the air, raised his right arm high and swung it back. The long spear in his hand was like Thor's weapon, radiating fierce lightning. At the same time, he activated the power of the mysterious fragment in his body and gathered it in his right arm to increase the power of his throw.

At the same time, the Purple Poisonous Python opened its blood-red maw, arched its body, and suddenly bit at Bai Cheng in the air.

Upon seeing this, Bai Cheng let out a deafening roar—"Ah—!!"

At the same time, the spear in his hand was suddenly thrown out like a bullet, leaving only a golden arc of lightning in the air.

The next moment, the spear plunged into the enormous mouth of the Purple Poisonous Python, and the two opposing forces collided violently.

In just a moment, the spear, accompanied by golden lightning, pierced through the back of the Purple Poisonous Python, leaving a huge hole before plunging straight into the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Immediately afterward, the Purple Poison Python let out a tremendous wail, and its massive body slowly collapsed backward. Sen Lei, witnessing this, was utterly dumbfounded. He had thought he had found the beast's weakness and was about to attack with a fire-attribute spiritual talisman, but he hadn't expected Bai Cheng's attack to pierce right through the beast's body from the inside.

However, to his surprise, although Bai Cheng's attack was powerful, the damage it caused was not enough to kill the massive Purple Poison Python. Just as the giant body of the Poison Python was about to fall to the ground, it suddenly stopped abruptly in mid-air and then slowly stood up again. However, blood continued to flow from the wound on its back, causing it to writhe its huge body in pain and let out bursts of howls.

At this moment, after his attack, Bai Cheng fell to the ground. The instant his legs touched the ground, a feeling of weakness arose from his feet and spread throughout his body. He had not felt this way for a long time.

Exhausted, Bai Cheng almost immediately knelt on one knee as he hit the ground, his chest heaving as he began to pant. This attack could be considered his full-force strike at this stage.

However, just as he knelt down, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Bai Cheng, watch out!"

As the words fell, Bai Cheng saw the Purple Poisonous Python opening its huge mouth and lunging at him. Upon seeing this, Bai Cheng's face stiffened.

"Holy crap! It's still alive! This high-level demonic beast is incredibly resilient. Is it really going to stop here?!"

Just then, a voice came from the air behind them.

"The Azure Sword!"

As the sound rang out, a blue sword beam nearly a hundred meters wide filled Bai Cheng's eyes. He only felt a strong spiritual force sweep over his head, and then he saw a middle-aged man dressed in a blue Taoist robe riding a sword. Behind him were more than a dozen guards from the Bai family.

After the blue sword light disappeared, the purple poisonous python in front of him crashed to the ground, its massive head falling to Bai Cheng's feet. Seeing this, Bai Cheng let out a deep sigh, then lay back on the ground, panting heavily.

"Thank goodness, it seems we're saved!"

Just then, Chen Ping also arrived from afar on his sword. After a fierce battle, he successfully killed the White-striped Demon Tiger. However, he saw the battle on Sen Lei's side from a distance, and he also saw Bai Cheng's attack, which shocked him as well.

At this moment, he arrived in front of the spear that Bai Cheng had thrown. The immense power had left a deep crater in the ground, and golden arcs of electricity were still flashing on the spear.

He tried to reach out and touch the spear, but in an instant, as if struck by lightning, he instinctively pulled his hand back. Seeing this, Chen Ping narrowed his eyes, gathered his spiritual energy in his left hand, forming a barrier of spiritual energy, before finally grasping the spear in front of him.

The moment the spear was drawn, the golden arcs of electricity surrounding it exploded like fireworks, quickly dissipating into the surrounding air.

"So this is lightning-attribute spiritual power? It's truly domineering!"

After saying that, he took his spear and walked toward the crowd that was gathering nearby.

However, Bai Cheng was still lying on the ground, panting heavily, when a figure slowly appeared in his vision filled with various green branches and leaves. It was the middle-aged man who had just killed the Purple Poison Python with a single sword strike.
