Hiss!


    The ck-scaled python stopped about twenty meters away from Sean and Julia. Its mouth wide open, it continuously flicked its thick, mop-like tongue in and out, emitting a series of deep, menacing hisses.


    It sent chills down everyone’s spine!


    Fergus Archer still stood on the giant python’s head, his eyes burning like a torch. He nced at the surrounding scenery, then looked at Sean and sneered, “So, this is the ce you chose for yourself?”


    “Not bad at all!”


    As they pursued Sean, Fergus Archer had been paying close attention to their surroundings. He initially thought that Sean would have prepared an ambush for him, but to his surprise, there were no hidden cultivators within several miles, except for Gerard and Carl’s teams following behind.


    This caught Fergus Archer off guard!


    No ambush?


    Why the hell did you lure me here then?


    Was it really because of the scenery?


    “Indeed, it’s a perfect ce!” Sean met Fergus Archer’s gaze, nodded, and then changed the subject, speaking solemnly, “However, it’s not for me!”


    “It’s chosen for you!”


    After saying that, Sean turned to look at Julia hiding behind him and asked, “Your Highness, do you trust me?”


    Julia hesitated for a moment.


    “I trust you!” she said, her tone firm.


    Sean continued, “If you trust me, then stay here and watch the battle, but don’t run around.”


    “If…”


    “I mean, if!”


    “If I’m no match for him and die at his hands, you’ll jump off from here.”


    “Do you dare?” Sean nced at the abyss behind the giant stone tablet.


    Julia hesitated again.


    Jump off?


    Like those couples in movies?


    “I do!” Julia bit her white teeth, tears welling up in her eyes. She nodded, her voice still incredibly resolute.


    As expected!


    Facing Fergus Archer, even Sean himself didn’t have much confidence!


    Was he going to die?


    Sean wasn’t afraid of death. What right did Julia have to be afraid?


    It was she who had implicated Sean!


    Moreover, once Sean was killed, she would fall into Fergus Archer’s hands. For her, such an oue would be worse than death!


    “Mr. Mason, rest assured!”


    “If you live, so will I!”


    “If you die, I’ll die too!” Julia couldn’t help but let her tears fall.


    Damn it…


    Sean rolled his eyes. Why did it feel so strange? Your Highness, do you misunderstand my words? Don’t overthink it, I’m a married man, it’s not what you think!


    No, it’s not!


    However, not only did Julia misunderstand, but Fergus Archer also did, ring at Sean and Julia, cursing, “Shameless!”


    “Go to hell!”


    The moment he finished his words, the ck-scaled python’s giant tail lifted and swept towards them.


    Sean didn’t even have a chance to exin!


    Nor was there a need to exin!


    Why bother talking when you could fight?


    Whoosh!


    Sean’s pupils constricted, and his eyes suddenly turned cold. He raised Wolf’s Massacre and charged forward, turning into a blur. In an instant, he closed the twenty-meter gap between them.


    ng!


    The next moment, Wolf’s Massacre had fiercely struck the python’s tail that was crashing towards him. The sharp de and the ck scales on the tail collided, producing a piercing noise like the sh of weapons.


    And the result…


    As recorded in the records, the ck-scaled python’s defense was astonishing. Its ck scales wereparable to grimsteel, and dark energy cultivators simply couldn’t break through its defenses.


    Even Wolf’s Massacre, infused with powerful dark energy, couldn’t smash or sever it!


    Sean was pushed back several meters by the tremendous force.


    At the same time!


    The ck-scaled python’s huge tail was also repelled by Sean’s ferocious strike, flung back more than ten meters. It crashed into a nearby grove of trees with the sound of snapping branches.


    A contest of strength?


    Aside from its amazing ck-scaled defense, the ck-scaled python’s strength was merely equivalent to ate-stage dark energy human cultivator. Naturally, it was no match for a top-tier cultivator like Sean!


    With a single strike!


    The ck-scaled python was repelled!


    “Not bad.” Fergus Archer stood atop the massive head of the ck-Scaled Python, looking down at Sean without any intention of intervening. He sneered, “Unfortunately, your de cannot cut through the defenses of the ck-Scaled Python.”


    “So, you can’t do anything.”


    “With your dark energy reserves, after ten moves with the ck-Scaled Python, more than half will be depleted. At that point, you will still end up as its meal…” Fergus Archer’s voice was carefree and calm, exuding the air of someone who had everything under control.


    “Really?” Sean retorted sarcastically, “Let’s give it a try!”


    Fergus Archer’s words made sense. For most dark energy masters, even those at the Complete Stage, they wouldn’t dare to engage the colossal ck-Scaled Python in a protracted battle. As Fergus Archer said, without breaking the python’s formidable defenses, a head-on confrontation would consume too much dark energy for a dark energy cultivator.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    They couldn’t handle it!


    However, Sean was no ordinary dark energy cultivator. As the battle-hardened General Wolf of the North, he had plenty of ways to deal with a mere brute.


    Hiss! The python let out a low growl.


    As if receiving Fergus Archer’s instructions or provoked by Sean’s de, the ck-Scaled Python’s eyes were fixed on Sean. Its tail rose andshed out at Sean even more ferociously.


    The ck-Scaled Python had no legs or feet, so aside from its mouth, its tail was its only weapon. It didn’t have any fancy moves like a human master.


    All it did was one powerful smash!


    It raised its massive tail and smashed it until it crushed its opponent to death.


    “Idiot!” Sean snorted, staring contemptuously at the python.


    However, this time, Sean did not choose to confront the python directly. Instead, he transformed into a blur, dodging the tail’s attack with incredible speed.


    Boom! The python’s tail smashed into a nearby boulder, shattering it like an explosion. Rocks flew in all directions like a sudden storm, showcasing the immense power hidden within its tail.


    Hiss! Missing its target, the python grew even angrier. It pursued Sean relentlessly, its tail sticking to him like a giant ster, determined to avenge its previous humiliation and crush Sean on Hill Riverside.


    Thus, for the next few minutes, a bizarre scene unfolded at the top of Hill Riverside, with a man and a python chasing each other in a frantic dance.


    Julia stood alone by the stele at the edge of the cliff, her heart in her throat, barely daring to breathe. Her left hand gripped her right, sweat pouring from her palms.


    “Mr. Mason, you must win!” she prayed silently, but her eyes couldn’t keep up with the speed of Sean and the ck-Scaled Python. She couldn’t make out the situation.


    Minutester, Fergus Archer’s disdainful voice rang out, “The great General Wolf of the North now has to running away like a beaten dog. How disappointing!”


    Sean chose to evade rather than fight to conserve his strength. The ck-Scaled Python was not his target; Fergus Archer was. He had hoped to use his agility to bypass the python’s entanglement and confront Fergus Archer directly.


    But unfortunately, despite its massive size, the python was not clumsy. Its tail’s agility surpassed Sean’s expectations, and after several minutes, he still couldn’t shake it off.


    Since he couldn’t escape, he decided to spend some dark energy and face it head-on.


    Bang! With his mind made up, Sean showed no hesitation. He tightly gripped Wolf’s Massacre with both hands, holding it in front of him to block the python’s massive tail sweeping at him.


    Sizzle! Sparks flew where the ck scales of the python’s tail met the de of Wolf’s Massacre. Sean’s body was pushed back by the force of the tail, retreating more than ten meters before the sweeping momentum finally ceased.


    Sean snorted, “After being chased by your beast for a few minutes, it’s time for you to see my true strength!”


    As his words fell, there was a crisp sound as Sean stabbed Wolf’s Massacre into the stone b beneath his feet. The de of Wolf’s Massacre easily prated halfway into the b, as if cutting through iron like mud.


    Immediately after, without waiting for the ck-Scaled Python to retract its tail, Sean’s now-free hands suddenly grabbed the tail, tightly pinching the ck scales on it. Then, his unparalleled dark energy flowed into his arms!


    Although the python’s head was asrge as a small car, the tip of its tail was merely the thickness of a water bucket, small enough to be restrained by two hands.


    Hiss!


    Seemingly realizing something was wrong, the ck-Scaled Python began to struggle.


    However, it was to no avail!


    “Get up!” Sean roared, his arms exerting tremendous force. In an instant, he forcefully lifted the python’s tail, pulling it back a few steps before viciously swinging it to the right.


    And so, an unbelievable scene unfolded. Sean’s arms bulged with veins, and the over twenty-meter-long, thousand-pound ck-Scaled Python was astonishingly swung into the air. Its gigantic body uncontrobly left the ground and soared high.


    Fergus Archer, who had been standing calmly on the python’s head all this time, finally had his expression changepletely at this moment.


    “Its defense is strong, isn’t it?” Sean held onto the ck-Scaled Python’s tail without letting go, using its enormous body as a formidable whip, sweeping it through the air as he snorted, “Let me see just how strong it is!”


    The ck-Scaled Python was in trouble! Held by its tail, its body and head flew helplessly through the air, creating a cacophony of crashing sounds as it broke countless trees and shattered numerous boulders.


    In an instant, the area within several dozen meters became a mess. Even Fergus Archer couldn’t maintain his footing on the python’s head. With a whoosh, he leaped off, holding the bone-crushing hammer, and boomed, “Well done, General Wolf of the North!”


    “With such tremendous strength, it seems you’ve already touched the threshold of the Bright Realm!”


    “No wonder!”


    “No wonder you’ve be a major threat to Prince Ashby!”


    Up until now, Fergus Archer hadn’t made a move. However, as an observer, he recognized that Sean, like him, had one foot in the Bright Realm just by witnessing Sean’s incredible strength.


    The reason was simple. The ck-Scaled Python was Fergus Archer’s pet, and no one knew its strength better than him. But no one, aside from him, had ever been able to use their bare hands to swing the ck-Scaled Python like a whip or a stick.


    Not even his Eight Tiger Generals could do it!


    “Damn you!” Sean had no interest in chatting with Fergus Archer. With an angry curse, he swung the ck-Scaled Python, smashing it viciously at Fergus Archer.


    You beast! You want to smash things, don’t you? Then just go smash your python head at your own master!
