Chapter 1202: Chapter 1202: Slaying the Ferocious Beast

“Not good!”

Feng Wuchen’s expression drastically changed in shock as the black python’s tail came whipping toward him with ferocious force.

“Lord Feng, look out!” Shi Potian and the others cried out in horror.

The tail’s attack was incredibly fast, and at this moment, Feng Wuchen was mid-slash, making it impossible to evade.

“Bring it on!”

Feng Wuchen’s eyes flashed with a ruthless gleam as he swiftly channeled his power into the Dragon God Sword. The blade erupted with dazzling golden light, and an overwhelming Sword Intent surged forth like a raging tide.

“Soul Extinction Sword Technique! Soul Extinction Weeps for Gods and Ghosts!”

With a thunderous roar, Feng Wuchen unleashed an unparalleled strike. The terrifying power of the sword energy condensed into a furious blade light, and with sheer force, he slashed toward the massive tail of the black python.

“Boom!”

“Buzz! Buzz!”

The devastating power of the Divine Sword collided with the python’s tail, producing an earth-shattering explosion. The violent force swept out in all directions. Feng Wuchen’s face changed again as he was sent flying backward by the impact, while the black python’s tail was also forced back, pushing the enormous creature back tens of meters.

“Just a minor injury? As expected of an ancient beast—such terrifying strength, and yet it’s so hard to wound it!” Feng Wuchen’s heart trembled. Even the Soul Extinction Sword Technique couldn’t severely injure the black python. How formidable was this creature?

At the point of impact, the black python’s scales remained unscathed, but a green liquid seeped out—it had definitely been hurt.

“Lord Feng!” Seeing Feng Wuchen knocked away, Shi Potian and the others shouted in panic.

“Lord Feng’s strength is truly terrifying. He emerged completely unscathed,” Li Yun thought to himself, his old face full of shock and disbelief.

“Lord Feng can actually contend with such a fearsome black python!” Another elder’s face was equally astonished.

To think that Feng Wuchen was only at the early stage of the Heavenly Monarch realm, while the black python was at the peak of the late stage—they were worlds apart in terms of raw power.

Fortunately, Feng Wuchen had a strong physical body and immense power. Otherwise, he would have sustained serious injuries.

“Roar!”

The black python howled repeatedly in pain, its deafening roars shaking the heavens. Infuriated, it charged at Feng Wuchen with unstoppable momentum.

“Lord Feng, be careful!” Shi Potian and the others, watching from afar, were filled with fear and alarm as the black python grew increasingly enraged.

“Such tough scales—if used for Artifact Refining, they’d be more valuable than meteoric iron. This will save me a lot of materials,” Feng Wuchen thought. Not only did he show no fear of the black python, but he was already planning to use its scales for crafting.

Standing tall, Feng Wuchen held the Dragon God Sword at a slant, pointing it to the void. He exuded an imposing and majestic aura.

“Its entire body is rock-hard, but its eyes and head can’t possibly be made of scales, can they?” Feng Wuchen’s lips curled into a cold smile. As the black python hurtled toward him, Feng Wuchen’s figure suddenly vanished into thin air.

The enraged black python struck nothing but air.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Using instantaneous movement, Feng Wuchen’s figure flickered repeatedly, moving at a speed so extreme that even afterimages were absent, making it impossible to locate him.

“Roar! Roar!”

The black python, unable to catch Feng Wuchen, swung its enormous body in frustration, roaring furiously into the sky.

“A-amazing… I can’t even tell where Lord Feng is. What kind of movement technique is this?” Shi Potian and the others were dumbfounded, their jaws hanging open.

“Lord Feng is an elite assassin of the highest caliber. Such a powerful movement technique isn’t surprising. But this is beyond incredible—there’s no trace of his presence at all,” Liu Tianyu murmured in shock.

No matter how the black python tried, it couldn’t capture Feng Wuchen amidst his successive flashes.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

In the next instant, Feng Wuchen wielded the Dragon God Sword and launched a relentless assault, furiously slashing at the injured area of the black python. The sound of metal clashing rang out continuously, sparks flying everywhere. Waves of devastating sword energy surged outward like a tsunami.

However, his fierce attacks were completely ineffective, akin to nothing more than scratching an itch for the black python.

The scales of the black python were simply too tough.

Only the sword energy from earlier was capable of wounding it.

“Roar!”

“Buzz! Buzz!”

The black python roared madly, releasing an overwhelming burst of power. The surrounding mountains trembled violently, and weaker birds and beasts had long since fled in terror.

Its ferocious Qi Force forced Feng Wuchen to retreat.

“This creature’s strength is far too overwhelming. A direct clash would be a losing proposition,” Feng Wuchen thought to himself.

The moment Feng Wuchen reappeared, the black python was already charging at him with ferocity. Its terrifying posture made it seem as though it intended to swallow him whole.

Holding the Dragon God Sword in front of him, Feng Wuchen formed a sword seal with his left hand and slid it along the blade from bottom to top. Black flames instantly ignited, exuding a bone-chilling coldness.

“Swish!”

As the black python charged, Feng Wuchen’s figure once again vanished mysteriously, causing the python to lunge at empty space yet again.

When Feng Wuchen next appeared, he was already atop the black python’s head. With the Dragon God Sword ablaze in black fire, he mercilessly stabbed at the python’s eye.

“Squelch!”

“Roar!”

In a split second, the black python had no time to evade. Its crimson eye was stabbed, prompting an agonized wail as its massive body thrashed wildly.

Shi Potian and the others, watching from the distance, were utterly shaken, their fear palpable.

“I almost thought your eyes were made of scales too,” Feng Wuchen sneered coldly.

The attack caused severe damage to the black python, and the infusion of Wu Fire brought an unimaginable level of pain.

“Squelch!”

“Roar!”

Feng Wuchen pulled out the Dragon God Sword and then drove it into the python’s head again. Green blood sprayed out as the python cried out miserably, its enormous body plummeting toward the mountain below.

“Boom!”

The black python crashed to the ground, dying on the spot.

If it had been a contest of strength, Feng Wuchen would’ve been no match, but in terms of speed, Feng Wuchen had never been afraid.

“The black python is dead!” Shi Potian and the others flew over excitedly.

Li Yun asked, “Lord Feng, are you all right?”

Feng Wuchen shook his head lightly and smiled, “I’m fine.”

“Lord Feng is truly incredible! To think he could slay such a powerful ancient beast!” Liu Tianyu praised enthusiastically, brimming with excitement.

“I wasn’t its match. This black python’s strength was equivalent to the peak of the late-stage Heavenly Monarch realm. I only killed it by targeting its weak spot,” Feng Wuchen explained while using the Dragon God Sword to cut open the python’s head.

“I’ll retrieve the Demon Core. Li Yun, you handle the black python’s essence blood. Shi Potian, quickly remove its scales,” Feng Wuchen instructed.

“Lord Feng, these scales are treasures?” someone asked in surprise.

“The scales are exceptionally tough—harder than meteoric iron. They’re top-tier materials for Artifact Refining! Of course, they’re treasures,” Feng Wuchen answered with a smile.

“Harder than meteoric iron?” Shi Potian and the others were stunned before immediately getting to work.

“Found it!” Feng Wuchen exclaimed in delight as he retrieved a massive azure Demon Core, as large as a barrel, radiating a ferocious and immense energy.

“Lord Feng, here is the black python’s essence blood,” Li Yun said, arriving quickly with the extracted blood.

“With these scales, essence blood, and Demon Core, I can craft a powerful defensive armor. I might even be able to imbue it with the black python’s soul. This is quite the haul,” Feng Wuchen said with a laugh, clearly elated.

In less than an hour, all the scales had been removed from the black python’s body. Over a thousand massive scales were collected, enough for Feng Wuchen to craft numerous top-tier artifacts.
