With its immense size, these minor wounds were no different from scratches.
Ye Ningze and Lin Haitao, despite their best efforts, had only managed to inflict a tiny gash on the Qinglin Spotted Snake.
Enraged, the Qinglin Spotted Snake let out a furious roar, its tail, as thick as a water bucket, swinging viciously towards Ye Ningze.
The tail strike cut through the air with a piercing shriek, projecting an immense force that felt as though it would tear Ye Ningze apart!
*Swish!*
Ye Ningze dared not meet the blow head-on. He retreated rapidly, evading the fierce tail whip!
However, just as Ye Ningze finished his evasion, vines suddenly erupted from the ground beside him, densely coiling and reaching out to ensnare him!
"Damn it!"
Seeing the vines closing in, Ye Ningze cursed inwardly. His figure moved with lightning speed to the left, dodging the encroaching tendrils. Yet, behind him, the vines seemed to possess eyes, following Ye Ningze's movements and pursuing him relentlessly!
Witnessing this, Ye Ningze's heart sank.
This time, Ye Ningze had encountered a truly formidable foe. The Qinglin Spotted Snake's combat power far exceeded his imagination, possessing such terrifying strength!
Moreover, these vines were exceptionally tough yet supple. If he were to be entangled by them, Ye Ningze knew it would be impossible to break free.
Ye Ningze pondered as he dodged.
The Qinglin Spotted Snake possessed no special abilities, only incredibly robust physical strength and its nigh-invincible scales. With his current power, it was difficult to pierce its scales.
"What should I do?"
Meanwhile, Lin Haitao, grazed by the wind generated by the giant python's tail, was heavily injured. Blood gushed from his mouth as he fell to the ground.
Ye Ningze glanced at Lin Haitao, seeing him find a safe spot and begin bandaging himself. He felt a slight relief, knowing Lin Haitao was temporarily out of danger.
Furthermore, he had now completely captured the Qinglin Spotted Snake's attention, ensuring it wouldn't attack Lin Haitao.
"Right, I still have my fire talent, and it's not low-grade, it's A-rank!"
Ye Ningze remembered this. He had never used his fire before, having been engrossed in cultivation until this moment.
"In this situation, what use can fire talent be? Does this Qinglin Spotted Snake fear fire?"
He then gave a wry smile and shook his head. "A smaller Qinglin Spotted Snake might fear fire, but a giant python of this size, how could it fear the fire of a mere martial artist like myself?"
At this point, Ye Ningze could no longer afford to hesitate. He immediately channeled all the true essence within his body into the black blade in his hand!
The black blade shimmered with a cold metallic gleam. A thin layer of steam emanated from its surface, and faint fire dragons seemed to writhe along its length!
A scorching aura instantly radiated from the black blade.
"Since I can't burn you to death, I'll put the fire into my blade!"
*Swish!*
The black blade slashed fiercely towards the Qinglin Spotted Snake's head, carrying boundless momentum and unwavering courage as it struck!
*Hiss!*
The Qinglin Spotted Snake sensed the ferocity of the attack, letting out a piercing hiss. Its body twisted violently, attempting to evade the strike.
But Ye Ningze's attack was too dominant. The Qinglin Spotted Snake's contorted body only struggled for a moment before being suppressed again, ultimately being forced to endure the blade's descent!
*Chop!*
Accompanied by a crisp cutting sound, a deep wound was carved into the Qinglin Spotted Snake's massive body!
A stream of blood instantly spurted out, dyeing the surrounding grass red.
This strike was highly effective. The Qinglin Spotted Snake immediately bled profusely, letting out earth-shattering screams towards the sky.
Seeing this, Ye Ningze's heart leaped: "This is indeed effective! The heated blade can easily pierce the Qinglin Spotted Snake's scales!"
However, this method clearly could not be sustained for long. In just a few seconds, the Qinglin Spotted Snake regained its composure. It then abruptly raised its head, opened its mouth towards Ye Ningze, and let out an enraged hiss.
*Roar!*
As the Qinglin Spotted Snake roared, a thick cloud of green poisonous mist spewed from its mouth!
Ye Ningze sneered, "What use is this thing!"
Instantly, flames surged around Ye Ningze, incinerating all the poisonous mist the moment it approached him!
At this moment, the Qinglin Spotted Snake felt the terror of death emanating from Ye Ningze!
It had never imagined that, despite possessing a trace of dragon bloodline, it would find itself in such a dire predicament.
This human could actually resist its venom!
In that instant, the Qinglin Spotted Snake's heart was filled with resentment and regret. Had it known it would encounter such a troublesome opponent today, it wouldn't have come out to forage!
Seizing the moment when the poisonous mist dissipated, Ye Ningze rapidly charged towards the Qinglin Spotted Snake's abdomen!
*Screech!*
A sharp blade sliced through, and the scales on the Qinglin Spotted Snake's body shattered. A hideous and terrifying wound appeared on its belly, with blood continuously flowing down. The Qinglin Spotted Snake writhed in pain on the ground, its body twisting and struggling desperately, as if trying to heal the wound.
However, such a degree of injury was not easily healed. Even if medicine were used to mend the wound, there would still be obvious traces, and erasing the scar would be impossible.
Ye Ningze watched the Qinglin Spotted Snake thrashing on the ground, a mocking smile appearing on his lips. This creature, it seemed, was already heavily wounded and would likely fall unconscious from the intense pain before long.
Without further hesitation, Ye Ningze drew his black blade in a peculiar arc through the air, carrying a sharp momentum as he slashed towards the Qinglin Spotted Snake's head!
*Ching!*
The black blade fiercely hacked off a large scale from the Qinglin Spotted Snake, which was then dodged by the snake's head.
The Qinglin Spotted Snake was furious. Disregarding its injuries, it twisted its massive body and desperately coiled towards Ye Ningze, intending to crush this damned human to death!
As long as it could entangle this damned human, it could use its immense strength to crush this damned human into pieces!
This was the Qinglin Spotted Snake's thought.
However, its plan was quickly thwarted.
