Chapter 2035: Black Monarch Python

Qingfeng Li stood up and stared into the distance in the direction from which the roaring cry of the demonic beast had come.

Xue Lin, Mengyao Xu, and the others all looked into the distance as well, a hint of fury in their eyes. They had been there to protect Qingfeng Li, thinking that they were powerful enough to ensure nothing would happen.

None of them had expected a roar from a demonic beast to come from the distance. What was more, the demonic beast was extremely powerful. Even with their powerful defenses, they hadn’t been able to keep it at bay.

Qingfeng Li gave them a small smile. “If my predictions are correct,” he said, “this demonic beast is of the ninth class of the spirit monarch realm. With your current abilities, none of you can defend against it. I’d actually like to see just who’s commanding this creature.”

Qingfeng Li activated the Penetration Vision in his right eye, emitting a beam of golden light. Gazing through the void, he immediately spotted the demonic beast in the distance.

It was a massive python, spanning over nine thousand meters in length. Its body was covered in black scales, each as large as a water tank. They glowed with a black light that sent shivers down the spines of those who gazed upon it.

Its mouth was also massive, wide enough to fit a small mountain. There was no doubt that it could swallow several dozen people at once.

Qingfeng Li didn’t recognize the giant python. However, he described its appearance to the rest of the group.

Having heard Qingfeng Li’s description, Mengyao Xu’s expression changed. “Big Brother Li,” she said, “this is the Black Monarch Python. It’s the Sky-Breaking Monarch’s steed.”

Mengyao Xu had arrived on Mars before Qingfeng Li had. She knew a lot about the powerful individuals on the Crimson Fire Continent, especially the Four Monarchs and their Dharma treasures and battle beasts. She had a clear picture of it all.

Qingfeng Li’s brows furrowed. “The Black Monarch Python,” he said. “I’ve heard of it. They say that it’s reached the top of the ninth level monarch realm.

In addition, it’s the battle steed of the Sky-Breaking Monarch. It’s accompanied the Sky-Breaking Monarch on many campaigns all over the continent, proving its worth over many battles. Countless self-cultivators had died by its maw, becoming meals for the demonic beast.”

Black Puppy shook its head. “It’s just a ninth level monarch realm demonic beast,” it huffed. “You can kill it with one hand. That’ll teach it to be cocky.”

Rumble…

In the distance, the Black Monarch Python shot through the air. Its nine-thousand-meter body swam through the sky like a giant flying dragon, a massive mountain, or a battleship.

It flew over their heads, covering the entire sky and blanketing Qingfeng Li and the others in its shadow. Their bodies were frozen in place.

The Chief Commander sucked in a sharp breath. “It’s so huge,” he said. “This has got to be the biggest python I’ve ever seen.”

Xue Lin’s brows furrowed. As a woman, she was more attentive to details. “Honey,” she whispered, “if the Black Monarch Python is the Sky-Breaking Monarch’s steed, then why haven’t we seen the Sky-Breaking Monarch?”

Hearing this, Qingfeng Li frowned as well. He also felt that the situation was strange.

Logically, if the Sky-Breaking Monarch’s battle beast was here, then he should be here as well. However, he hadn’t appeared.

Sky-Devouring Snake spoke up from beside them, “I know. The Sky-Breaking Monarch must have hidden himself away somewhere. He wants to deal the killing blow when the moment comes. We have to be careful of this bastard. He’s very sneaky.”

Qingfeng Li wasn’t concerned. “Who cares where he’s hiding. If he dares to show himself, I’ll kill him. Now, let me kill his battle beast first.”

Activating the Wind-Elemental Feather Wings, a beam of green light formed on either side of Qingfeng Li. His body took to the skies like a raging storm. In an instant, he had risen into the air and, swinging his fist, he struck the Black Monarch Python.

The Black Monarch Python’s expression changed. It sensed a terrible danger coming from this black fist. Swinging its several-thousand-meters-long tail, it struck downwards, hard.

“Seventh Fist, Shattering the Body!”

Qingfeng Li used the Seventh Fist of the Strangle Hell Fist. A ninety-thousand feet wide black fist formed in midair, colliding heavily with the Black Monarch Python’s tail.

CRACK!

With a loud noise, the Black Monarch Python’s massive tail shattered in an instant, breaking apart from its body. It had been split in half by Qingfeng Li’s fist. The chunks rained down all over the ground.

The Black Monarch Python gave a pitiful shriek. It looked at Qingfeng Li with eyes filled with terror.

The Black Monarch Python was a powerful Ninth level monarch realm demonic beast. With its armored skin, even a master of the Ninth level monarch realm couldn’t possibly sever its tail like this.

But now, Qingfeng Li had smashed the Black Monarch Python in half with a single punch. This human was way too strong, much stronger than it had expected.

In the distance, the self-cultivators watching this scene all wore a look of shock. They had thought that, now that the Black Monarch Python was here, Qingfeng Li would be slain with ease. Instead, it was the python who had sustained heavy injuries.

At this moment in time, in some corner of the void, a black-clad middle-aged man stood watching the battle outside silently. When he saw that the Black Monarch Python had been injured, his expression changed to one of grave seriousness.

This middle-aged man was the Sky-Breaking Monarch, one of the four Supreme Monarchs of the Crimson Fire Continent. He had pursued Qingfeng Li here after hearing that the Underworld Monarch had been killed by him.

The Sky-Breaking Monarch knew that the Underworld Monarch was very strong, not much weaker than himself. That was why he had been very cautious when facing Qingfeng Li. So, he had instructed his battle beast to go test out Qingfeng Li’s strength.

He hadn’t expected that his battle beast would be wounded immediately. At this moment, the Sky-Breaking Monarch truly understood Qingfeng Li’s power. This was a power no weaker than his own.

Qingfeng Li glared at the battle beast before him. “Where is your Master?” he asked it, his voice cold. “Is he going to stand by and watch you get wounded and killed?

The Black Monarch Python glared back at him. “Lowly human, my Master will certainly kill you. I’ll use my superpower right now and freeze your body.”

“Time-Control Superpower!”

The Black Monarch Python opened its mouth and spat out a beam of black light that enveloped heaven and earth. In an instant, it shot onto Qingfeng Li and surrounded him.

The next incident, Qingfeng Li felt that he was unable to move. This was the Black Monarch Python’s innate superpower. With it, it could control the flow of time and prevent a person from moving.

Hidden within the void, the Sky-Breaking Monarch’s eyes filled with surprise after seeing that Qingfeng Li had been suppressed.

His body appeared from within the void and, in an abrupt motion, he swung his rapier and stabbed toward Qingfeng Li’s heart.

The rapier was a half-step Saint Level Dharma treasure. It was black as ink, and upon its surface, Saint Level talisman scriptures glittered with immense power. Along its path, even the void crumbled and exploded as it appeared before Qingfeng Li’s chest in an instant.

Standing behind him, Xue Lin, Mengyao Xu, and the others were all shocked as they saw that Qingfeng Li’s heart was about to be pierced by this half-saint black rapier. They all shouted, “Look out!”

Qingfeng Li, however, smiled as he looked upon the figure before him. “I’d been waiting for you,” he said. “You finally appeared.”
