The python suddenly reared its head, then let out a roar like a wild beast.
Its thick body soared upwards, lunging to swallow Wu Tian once more!
Wu Tian's mind stirred, and he swiftly disengaged from the large tree.
The ancient tree, a century old, was directly snapped in half by the python's impact!
The python had completely locked onto Wu Tian.
It was like it possessed radar; no matter where Wu Tian dodged, it could always corner him.
Wu Tian dodged while counter-attacking with fists and feet imbued with spiritual energy.
However, his attacks, though seemingly fierce, were unable to inflict any substantial damage on the python.
The python thrashed wildly within the forest.
In an instant, large trees were felled, and thousands of leaves rained down like a downpour.
During this relentless pursuit, Wu Tian was gradually forced into a state of disarray. He had even been caught by the python several times.
The prolonged struggle severely depleted Wu Tian's spiritual energy.
He slowly began to feel fatigue, his breathing becoming noticeably rapid.
After dodging the python's attack once more, he could no longer endure it and roared at the python, "You beast, do you really think I'm afraid of you!"
As his roar subsided, he clenched his fist, and a dazzling lightning flashed upon it!
It was the Tian Lei Bao Dian!
Under the python's relentless pressure, he was forced to resort to the Tian Lei Bao Dian!
At Wu Tian's current cultivation level, he could not summon heavenly lightning. At most, he could transform spiritual energy into lightning, merely adding an enhancement to his attacks.
But! This enhancement was the power of lightning!
Among all elements, lightning reigned supreme!
It was the attribute with the strongest burst and destructive power. With this strength, Wu Tian was confident he could deal with this ferocious beast!
"Ah!"
Wu Tian gathered all his strength, then without hesitation, he unleashed a powerful punch towards the python!
The moment his fist made contact with the python, lightning flashed, and bolts of electricity shot out!
The python let out a pained cry, its massive body flung sideways, crashing heavily against a mountain cave!
Boom!
The thunderous sound echoed through the mountains, and the cave entrance suddenly collapsed, sealing the entire cave!
"Hiss!"
The python erupted with an enraged roar.
With a flick of its body, it hurled away the rocks weighing hundreds of pounds, then reared up over ten meters high, gazing at Wu Tian with immense pressure.
It was injured, its head bleeding profusely, and one eye had been violently burst.
Yet, facing its towering form, Wu Tian's gaze was calm, devoid of any fear.
From that previous strike, he had already realized.
Although this beast had tough hide, his attacks, amplified by lightning, were capable of inflicting wounds.
This meant he didn't have to be overly cautious anymore!
On the other hand, the python also keenly sensed Wu Tian's newfound strength.
Despite being a beast, it possessed some intelligence and knew that a frontal assault would only lead to its own suffering.
Within its single, cold eye, a sinister flame seemed to burn.
This human had destroyed one of its eyes; it would surely make this human pay the price!
It suddenly raised its head high, and something within its abdomen began to swell rapidly.
Wu Tian sensed that something was amiss. Just as he was about to act, he saw the swelling rapidly ascend, and in the blink of an eye, it surged towards the python's head.
The python opened its gaping maw and sprayed fiercely at Wu Tian!
Instantly, a dark green liquid was spewed towards Wu Tian!
"Trouble!" Seeing this, Wu Tian's heart jolted, and he dared not meet it head-on.
He quickly dodged the liquid. Upon hitting the ground, the liquid corroded the fallen leaves, turning them a scorched black, much like acid!
"How terrifying."
Witnessing this, Wu Tian felt a chill run down his spine.
If even a drop of such liquid were to touch him, he would likely be melted on the spot!
Missing its target, the python sprayed more of the liquid at Wu Tian.
Facing such a venomous substance, Wu Tian could only continue to evade.
The venom sprayed across the forest, melting trees and scorching the earth black.
Watching Wu Tian flee in disarray, the python let out a triumphant hiss.
It intended to show this human the consequences of crossing it!
"You scoundrel! Don't get too arrogant!"
Just then, Wu Tian's furious voice suddenly rang out.
Immediately, he stomped his foot and charged directly at the python!
The python sprayed more venom at Wu Tian, but Wu Tian actually pushed off the air, dodging the attack!
His speed was astonishing, and in a flash, he was before the python!
With a furious roar, his fist, crackling with lightning, slammed fiercely into the python's head!
In an instant, lightning filled the forest.
Even though it was daytime, the lightning still appeared dazzlingly bright.
Veins bulged on Wu Tian's temples as he roared, "Break! Break for me!"
Lightning shot out, striking the python all over.
The python convulsed violently. After the lightning subsided, it swayed and then weakly fell to the ground!
Bang!
The python's fall caused the ground to tremble.
Simultaneously, Wu Tian landed lightly on the ground.
His face was somewhat pale, and his chest heaved violently with his labored breaths.
Undoubtedly, the previous attack had truly pushed him to his limits. At this moment, he could not unleash even a flicker of lightning.
"Is that enough now?" Wu Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the python.
At present, the python lay still on the ground, appearing completely lifeless.
Its head was a bloody mess, and its two fleshy horns were broken. It was unlikely to ever rise again.
To be absolutely sure, Wu Tian carefully inspected the python.
Only after confirming the python was truly dead did he finally heave a heavy sigh of relief and sit down on the ground.
"Damn, this beast was too tenacious. Fortunately, I learned the Tian Lei Bao Dian; otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to deal with it."
Speaking of which, Wu Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering dread.
After all, if he had relied on his previous methods, he would surely be dead by now.
It was fortunate that he had learned the Tian Lei Bao Dian; this could be considered a form of luck!
"This world is truly wondrous..."
Wu Tian mused, "I never expected that monsters like those in fantasy novels actually existed in the real world."
"Judging by this, this world is probably not as simple as ordinary people imagine."
