"Hehe, a mere brat with late stage of the Dan Profound Realm dares to provoke my dignity, truly ridiculous!"

One of the Nine-headed Mystic Python"s head was chuckling. From the voice, it could be seen that it was extremely disdainful towards Xu Xuan.

"A lot of people looked down on me and thought they were very powerful, but do you know what happened afterwards?"

Xu Xuan walked forward step by step, and with the sword in his hand, he slowly released the aura that he had in the world, causing that Nine-headed Mystic Python to feel an inexplicable sense of danger.

"Hehe, arrogant brat, today I will let you know what is formidable!"

The Nine-headed Mystic Python laughed, then suddenly rushed forward, the nine snake heads all opened their mouth wide, wanting to swallow Xu Xuan up.

It could be said that the nine heads of the Nine-headed Mystic Python all opened up their huge mouths at the same time, sealing a large area of s.p.a.ce, making it very difficult for Xu Xuan to escape.

"Roar!"

The Double-headed Lion growled, and could not help but take two steps back. It seemed as if it had already seen the scene of Xu Xuan being eaten alive by the Nine-headed Mystic Python, and was ready to leave this place at any time.

"Humph!"

However, Xu Xuan was not afraid in the slightest when facing the Nine-headed Mystic Python that was speedily charging towards him. With a light tap of his feet, he jumped towards the cliff on the left.

After that, he fiercely stomped his feet once more, gathered his energy and shot it out, charging towards the sky to his right once again. He immediately leapt dozens of meters into the air again, and with this borrowed force, his body practically landed on the body of the Nine-headed Mystic Python in a flash.

"What a cunning brat!"

The Nine-headed Mystic Python missed its target, swung its tail, and charged straight at Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan looked at the huge tail coldly, he held the sword in his hand and slashed down.

"Bam!"

A huge sound rang out. It was the sound of the Nine-headed Mystic Python"s tail being chopped in half by Xu Xuan, and then falling heavily onto the ground.

"No, brat, I"ll fight it out with you!"

When a fellow with late stage of the Dan Profound Realm couldn"t use profound energy, it would be extremely difficult for them to harm it. As long as Xu Xuan couldn"t cut off its tail, then the huge power that came from its tail would definitely burst Xu Xuan"s body.

However, Xu Xuan"s strength was great, and with the speed of the blade, its overall strength had already far surpa.s.sed the late stage of the Dan Profound Realm. This made it extremely terrified, and knowing that its tail was already broken, and would only result in its death sooner or later, the Nine-headed Mystic Python decided to fight Xu Xuan head on, no matter what, it had to kill Xu Xuan before it died.

"With just you? You don"t even have the qualifications to fight me with your life on the line! "

However, Xu Xuan"s expression was still cold, to the point that it made people feel fear, the killing intent that emitted from his body, seemed to be real, and could devour people"s souls.

Xu Xuan took a light step forward, his long sword swept out with a few sword strokes, chopping the Nine-headed Mystic Python"s body into eight or nine pieces before it could reach its head.

"Bam!"

Without a body, the Nine-headed Mystic Python"s head was useless. After flying for half the distance, it fell down heavily, scattering dust all over the ground.

Suddenly, it felt that its master was not bad, and in its heart, it was rejoicing that he did not choose to surrender to Xu Xuan at all. Otherwise, it would have died just like that, and from the ruthlessness and decisiveness of Xu Xuan"s attack just now, it was able to feel Xu Xuan"s experience. This guy, if he grew up again, he would definitely not be simple.

"Come here, I really wonder if you"re a lion or a mouse. You"re so timid!"

Xu Xuan kept the sword and could not help but exclaim at the Double-headed Lion.

At this time, the Double-headed Lion appeared extremely friendly towards Xu Xuan, and ran in front of Xu Xuan, rolled over, and then started to bite the Nine-headed Mystic Python"s body, and started to swallow the blood and flesh in large gulps.

"Eat it. Wait a while for you, eat this meat. It should be beneficial to you!"

Xu Xuan laughed, he was not in a hurry, after all, this Double-headed Lion wanted to carry him up the mountain, so he should give it some benefits.

The Double-headed Lion happily ate a meal before Xu Xuan followed it back to the road.

On the road back then, the Double-headed Lion s had all lowered their heads dejectedly, as if being ridden by Xu Xuan was such a disgraceful thing to do. But now, the Double-headed Lion s had raised their heads and stuck out their chests, revealing a face full of pride, as if they had the honor of becoming Xu Xuan"s mounts.

Xu Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. He never thought that the Double-headed Lion was extremely human, it was only a third stage mystical beast, if it were to break through to the fourth stage, it might even have a chance of taking human form.

Just like that, the man and the beast kept walking up the mountain. Although they had met with a lot of profound beasts, with Xu Xuan"s current strength, he could handle them one by one, which made the Double-headed Lion worship Xu Xuan more and more.

Finally, at noon, a very small and dilapidated temple appeared in front of Xu Xuan.

Perhaps because the distance from here to the opening was very far and Xu Xuan basically went straight up the mountain, he did not stay there for long. As a result, from the bottom of the mountain all the way up to the top, Xu Xuan had not met a single person.

Looking at the tattered temple in front of him, Xu Xuan"s heart was filled with joy. Walking in, he realized that at the main hall, there were indeed two monks, one old monk and one young monk.

These two stone statues looked very lifelike. If one didn"t look at them carefully, they would think they were real people.

Xu Xuan walked over and was about to move the little monk"s stone statue, but he suddenly stopped.

That wood spirit is just a tree. Although it has intelligence, it should be very powerful, but how does it know that there is a temple here, and how does it know that there is a statue of an old monk and young monk inside the temple. Furthermore, it even knows that there is a pearl underneath this young monk.

couldn"t help but mutter to himself. All this time, after hearing the wood spirit say that it would help him increase his strength after completing the mission, and possibly raise it to either Perfection of the Dan Profound Realm or Nascent Soul Stage Initial Phase, Xu Xuan didn"t think too much into it and happily searched for him from such a far place. But now that he thought about it, it seemed to be a little too inconceivable.

"Could it be that the wood spirit can actually move? That"s not right. If it could move, why not grab it yourself when it knows that there"s such a pearl here? "

The more he thought about it, the more Xu Xuan felt that he could not understand why. The ident.i.ty of the wood spirit was a complete mystery.

Sigh, who cares. Maybe the power of the five elemental spirits is already monstrous, and they even know the geography of the place. This has nothing to do with me, I just need to take the things back, and then raise my strength to the Nascent Soul Stage Initial Phase. In any case, I will be leaving this place soon, and raising my strength is the most important thing.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt a headache, causing Xu Xuan to stop thinking about it, and directly moved the stone statue away.

However, when he moved the little monk"s stone statue away, he frowned. Under the little monk"s stone statue, there was nothing.
