“Lian’er?” After waiting for a while, Yue Ruye still didn’t get Chu Lian’er’s reply. He started to feel nervous.

“Yes.” Chu Lian’er didn’t want to think too much. They didn’t know how long they could live. Whether he loved her or not, she was happy that she could marry him before dying.

Hearing Chu Lian’er’s answer, Yue Ruye felt ecstatically happy and clenched Chu Lian’er into his arms more tightly. If it were not because the environment didn’t permit, he would really kiss her harshly.

“Lian’er.”

Hearing Yue Ruye calling her gently made Chu Lian’er feel shy and nervous. With her hands both sweaty, she mumbled, “Ruye…”

Chu Lian’er’s coquettish cry made Yue Ruye’s heart flip.

Suddenly, he didn’t want to die like this. He had too many things to do. He wanted to grow old with his wife.

Yue Ruye loosened Chu Lian’er and held her hand instead, “Lian’er, let’s go over there.” Generally, a snake’s critical part was seven inches below its head, which was around its heart. It should also apply to this Nine Heavens Python. As long as its heart was ruined, it would be sure to die. By then, they would find a way to cut open its belly. Maybe they could get out then.

Chu Lian’er didn’t know Yue Ruye’s thoughts but she still followed Yue Ruye forward through the darkness obediently.

His thoughts were great but the reality was very cruel. Because Nine Heavens Python kept swinging its tail, Yue Ruye and Chu Lian’er could only stay in situ, let alone walk forward at all. They kept hitting the belly wall of the python due to the swaying of Nine Heavens Python.

“Lian’er… Lian’er…” Feeling that Chu Lian’er was still in his arms, Yue Ruye felt frightened. He put his hand on Chu Lian’er’s wrist tremblingly. The weak pulse made Yue Ruye slightly relieved. Gladly, she was just struck unconscious.

While the shaking became weak, Yue Ruye took the opportunity to carry the unconscious Chu Lian’er and climb upward. Under the circumstance, it was safer with subtle swaying and much oxygen up there.

“Look!” Mu Jianfeng pointed at the hump on the python’s belly with excitement, “They are not dead yet! They are not dead yet!”

Mu Jianfeng’s words made the others all excited. Everyone strived to launch attacks on Nine Heavens Python. Even Feng Xifan who couldn’t do spiritual magic also flew onto the back of Nine Heavens Python with his sword and stabbed it with the sword harshly.

The sword was broken into two halves. Only a little of the tip of the sword was inserted. Feng Xifan was dumbfounded to see the half of his sword in his hand. The scales of Nine Heavens Python were so hard. This sword was a magic weapon but now it was easily broken into two halves.

Nine Heavens Python yelled in pain. Its big scarlet eyes were so terrifying. It swung its tail and instantly rolled Feng Xifan up from its back.

Oh no. Feng Xifan twisted his body and struggled to break free from the tail. It would be better if he stayed still but as he moved about, the tail tightened even more and eventually there was no gap between him and the tail. Feng Xifan only felt that his bones and flesh were heavily pressed. He found it increasingly difficult for him to breathe.

“Help him!” Staring at Feng Xifan’s face that got bluer and bluer, Hua Ye’er felt so anxious that she almost burst out crying.

Mei Luo took out her dagger and flew to stab the big tail. Nine Heavens Python felt pain and then loosened its tail a bit. Meanwhile, it bumped into Mei Luo harshly.

Mei Luo was knocked down and hit the ground. Blood streamed down from the corner of her mouth again.

Now, Feng Xifan had just inhaled some fresh air when he felt suffocating again. He found it even harder for him to breathe with his face and neck both becoming purplish red.

While Feng Xifan felt that his heartbeat was about to stop, he suddenly felt his body was loosened. Immediately, a lot of fresh air flooded into his lungs. He felt so good.

Meanwhile, everyone felt that a streak of purple lightning flashed across. The big tail of Nine Heavens Python started to spew out black smoke.

With a cry in pain, Nine Heavens Python had no time to entangle Feng Xifan. It loosened its big tail and threw Feng Xifan down.

Now, Feng Xifan didn’t feel much pain of being thrown down but gasped on the ground. After going through the suffocating feeling, he must cherish the feeling of being able to breathe.

“It’s President Nalan, Elder Xuanyuan and the others.” Hua Ye’er pointed at the several people on the purple dragon above, her eyes filled with tears. This was so great. They were still alive. President Nalan was here. They would all be fine.

The others were also very happy to see Xuanyuan Mo and the others. Feng Xifan even stopped gasping and directly got up from the ground. Seeing that Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo were safe, he smiled happily.

Noticing that Duanmu Xi was fine, Mei Luo finally showed a happy smile on her beautiful face.

Huangfu Yu who was paying attention to Duanmu Xi was attracted by Mei Luo’s smile. This woman was so strikingly pretty when she smiled. Pitifully, her smile was too transient.

Following the marks left by Mei Luo, Xuanyuan Mo traced here and happened to see the thrilling scene. Nalan Xi reacted fastest. He took the lead to help Feng Xifan out first.

The four of them got off the Brontosaurus. Duanmu Xi ran to Mei Luo first and then saw the blood at the corner of her mouth, saying pitifully, “Third Master, you are injured!”

Mei Luo caught sight of the pity in Duanmu Xi’s eyes and felt touched. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”

Upon seeing Nalan Xi and Situ Kong behind Duanmu Xi, she said anxiously, “Go and save Yue Ruye and Chu Lian’er now. They have been swallowed by the beast.”

Hearing that, Nalan Xi and Situ Kong were shocked. Without asking in detail, they struck at the howling Nine Heavens Python.

Seeing that, Duanmu Xi also took out her dagger and rushed under Nine Heavens Python like a gale. Then, with a leap, she jumped onto the head of Nine Heavens Python and stabbed it in the left eye harshly with the dagger.

Instantly, Nine Heavens Python let out a heart-wrenching howl. It raised its head and shook Duanmu Xi off.

“Xi…” Xuanyuan Mo’s heart tightened. He flew upward and fetched Duanmu Xi falling. This girl was such a trouble-maker. He really couldn’t relax his concentration for a moment.

Everyone was dumbstruck by the scene. Duanmu Xi acted too fast and blinded an eye of Nine Heavens Python within an instant, which was admirable and also thought-provoking. They were all students of Shengjin Academy and Duanmu Xi arrived latest. There was such an enormous gap between them and Duanmu Xi. They only injured the scales of Nine Heavens Python after making so much effort. They really had to reflect on themselves and learn from her.

Duanmu Xi’s dagger was stabbed in the big eye of Nine Heavens Python, from which blood poured nonstop. Now, Nine Heavens Python had been rolling on the ground in pain. Its big tail swept across wildly and then a gust of wind struck at them.

Now, Yue Ruye who was still in the stomach of the python was rolling nonstop with Chu Lian’er in his arms. As he felt that they were falling, his heart also sank bit by bit.

Seeing the crazy Nine Heavens Python, Xuanyuan Mo slightly narrowed his amber eyes and parted his lips, “Murdering Heaven Sword.”

As Xuanyuan Mo summoned, the huge sword that glistened with blue light appeared in front of all once again.

Xuanyuan Mo flew to the air and clenched the Murdering Heaven Sword. Without stopping, he raised his sword and slashed Nine Heavens Python with it.

Instantly, the head of Nine Heavens Python was cut off. And its body stopped after flapping on the ground due to inertia.

Everyone was really dumbstruck now. They were all staring at him, slack-jawed and still. Xuanyuan Mo was so unbelievable. He was around their age but his cultivation level was much higher than theirs. They only injured the scales of Nine Heavens Python with joint effort whereas he cut off Nine Heavens Python’s head with one strike. No wonder he could become the elder of Shengjin Academy whereas they could only be students.

Duanmu Xi’s corner of mouth twitched. Snow was really stunningly strong.

The three masters of Duanmu Xi also showed appreciation on their faces. Xuanyuan Mo’s cultivation level was incredibly high at such a young age. He would definitely surpass them in the future. Maybe he had exceeded them by now.

Yue Ruye in the stomach of the python felt that the python stopped rolling and helped Chu Lian’er sit up. He couldn’t see anything or hear anything. All the sounds that belonged to the python vanished as if everything were back to tranquility. Could it be that…

At the thought of that, Yue Ruye was in raptures. He took out his dagger and stabbed into the flesh wall aside harshly. As expected, nothing happened.

“Lian’er, we are safe. We can get out now.” Yue Ruye shook the unconscious Chu Lian’er while stabbing into the flesh wall with his dagger.

Xuanyuan Mo in midair didn’t stop because the python died. He swung the Murdering Heaven Sword to slit the belly of the python. This time, he only exerted one-tenth of the power last time.

The people finally came to their senses and all ran to the python to help look for Yue Ruye and Chu Lian’er.

Yue Ruye in the belly of the python was delighted to see the sudden light. He didn’t expect that they could cut open the belly of the python so soon.

He struck a punch to break the thin layer of flesh and immediately heard someone shout in surprise, “They are here! They are here!” Then, he heard a lot of footsteps.

After making some effort, they finally dragged Yue Ruye and Chu Lian’er out of the belly of the python.

“Is… Is she okay?” Hua Ye’er looked at the unconscious Chu Lian’er and then asked Yue Ruye.

“Oh. She is fine. She just passed out for being hit,” Yue Ruye said and then wiped the dirt off Chu Lian’er gently.

Hearing that, Hua Ye’er was relieved. Looking at Yue Ruye’s gentle and considerate appearance, she turned around and left quietly. With Yue Ruye around, Chu Lian’er shouldn’t need her care.

Nine Heavens Python was dead but whatever was valuable of it was taken away. Those that could be used for instrument forging were taken into Xuanyuan Mo’s storage ring while those that could be used for medicine refining were all taken away by Situ Kong.

Mei Luo took a look at the tired students and then said, “Let’s stay in the cave for one night.” Actually, they were supposed to leave right away after killing such a big spiritual beast but they were either injured or unconscious. They couldn’t go any further. Besides, since Xuanyuan Mo, Nalan Xi and Situ Kong were here, there shouldn’t be any other problem.

They entered the cave again. This time, nothing special happened in the cave. They had a rest separately.

Situ Kong smelt a scent upon entering the cave. It was true that refining pharmacists had an acute sense of smell because Duanmu Xi also smelt the special scent.

They exchanged glances and then ran into the depths of the cave. Seeing the scene, Xuanyuan Mo also followed.
