Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 216 - 139: One Sword, Xi Hongyi (Part 2)

He slightly opened his mouth, and a deep blue cold light shot out, striking towards the Three-Colored Profound Python in mid-air.

It was the Tier Two Upper Grade Flying Sword, the Fallen Cold Sword!

Wherever the deep blue sword light passed, the void was torn apart, revealing a vacuum area, emitting a thunderous roar, like a howl.

The Three-Colored Profound Python hovering in mid-air shivered at the sound, filled with chill.

It could sense an extremely sharp aura slashing towards its snake body, and if it were struck, it had no doubt that its body would be cleaved in two.

Cannot face it head-on!

At this moment, this thought emerged in its mind.

The huge snake body abruptly halted its rapid advance, twisted in mid-air, bent at an angle, attempting to use this change to dodge the sword light, and then escape.

Shhh!

However, its plan was undoubtedly in vain.

At the same time as it moved, the deep blue sword light in the void suddenly bent at a sharp angle, directly striking it on the neck, cutting it in half, and blood sprayed, immediately filling the air with the scent of blood.

Plop!

The head and tail of the snake’s body fell to the ground, lifeless.

"Could it be that it was resolved this simply?"

Seeing this scene, although mentally prepared, Yun Qingyue couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.

It’s important to know that this Three-Colored Profound Python was a standout among Tier Two Middle Grade Demon Beasts. Even experts in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage had to be extremely cautious in dealing with it, and some might not even be a match.

But what about Qi Chuan?

Just a face-to-face encounter, in an instant, directly slain!

This kind of strength made Yun Qingyue ashamed.

"Has his strength increased significantly again?"

Yun Qingyue glanced at Qi Chuan, guessing inwardly.

She was still struggling in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, yet Qi Chuan had not only entered the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage but had also quickly progressed further within it.

Such a cultivation speed was unreasonably fast!

Meanwhile, Xi Hongyi on the other side was stunned by the scene of Qi Chuan instantly slaying the Three-Colored Profound Python, and after a moment, her eyes flashed with disbelief.

"Is this person also at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage?"

She didn’t expect that she had misjudged...

Moreover, the opponent’s ability to deal with the Three-Colored Profound Python in one encounter suggested strength comparable to her own.

Unfortunately, she had thought that relying solely on the Three-Colored Profound Python would make the opponent retreat, allowing her to easily take the Clear Wind Moon Grass, but now her plans had fallen through.

But, is it possible to just let the opponent take the Clear Wind Moon Grass?

On the other side, Yun Qingyue hadn’t noticed Xi Hongyi or realized what she was thinking.

At this moment, her gaze, filled with a trace of excitement, swept toward the corpse of the Three-Colored Profound Python, and with a wave of her hand, two items rose from it.

One item was pouch-shaped, about the size of three fists, black-purple, emitting a bitter stench, which was the python’s gall bladder.

It was one of the materials for Qi Chuan’s Clear Cry Pill, precisely the gall bladder of the Three-Colored Profound Python.

The other item was wholly round, half a fist in size, with a tri-color of green, yellow, and purple, and was the python’s demon pill, also of considerable value.

The most valuable parts of this python’s corpse were these two items; the other materials were of average value.

After extracting the two items, Yun Qingyue looked at them with a slight eagerness in her eyes but then waved her sleeve, sending the two items flying towards Qi Chuan: "Since you killed the Three-Colored Profound Python alone, its gall bladder and demon pill are naturally yours."

Qi Chuan took a look and then unceremoniously accepted them, saying, "The rest are yours."

Hearing this, Yun Qingyue nodded, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Although the most valuable parts of the Three-Colored Profound Python were its gall bladder and demon pill, as a Tier Two Middle Grade Demon Beast, other materials on the python such as essence blood, the purple snake scales at the tail, and snake bones near the heart and head were also of considerable value, ideal for alchemy and artifact refining.

It was also a significant gain.

Just by leading the way without much effort, she was satisfied with such a harvest.

She immediately began casting her magic to carefully handle these materials.

After glancing at Yun Qingyue, Qi Chuan withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards a low-lying stone nest in the distance, where small, vibrant Clear Wind Moon Grass grew amidst the rubble.

Until he reached the Clear Wind Moon Grass, nothing occurred.

Qi Chuan bent over to collect the Clear Wind Moon Grass.

"Sir, taking the materials from the Three-Colored Profound Python is one thing, but taking the Clear Wind Moon Grass as well seems inappropriate, doesn’t it?"

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly spoke.

Qi Chuan’s movements paused, then he straightened up, looking towards the large boulder in front with a slight smile.

"Is there someone?"

Whoosh!

A sound of something streaking through the air was heard.

Yun Qingyue, who had been dealing with the materials from the Three-Colored Profound Python, suddenly appeared beside Qi Chuan, her beautiful eyes filled with caution as she looked ahead.

Tap tap.

Soft footsteps sounded.

Then, from behind a large boulder in the distance, Xi Hongyi in a bright red dress walked out, her posture full and enchanting, swaying gracefully in the wind as she approached, her every move full of momentum.

A blush rose on her fair cheeks, but her expression was somewhat cold, her eyes sharp as she looked at Qi Chuan and Yun Qingyue.

She released a hint of powerful spiritual pressure from her Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

Feeling this aura, Yun Qingyue’s expression grew serious, her gaze shifting to Xi Hongyi’s magic robe, her pupils shrinking: "People from the Valley of Myriad Beasts?"

"Exactly."

Xi Hongyi stood a short distance away, examining the pair, nodding slightly as she spoke.

Earlier, she had hesitated about revealing herself.

The male elder at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage opposite her looked formidable, and she wasn’t confident in defeating him, especially with a Foundation Establishment Early Stage ally, which made her uneasy.

However, the Clear Wind Moon Grass held significant meaning for her, an essential acquisition she wouldn’t yield, so after hesitating, she decided to appear.

"I discovered the Three-Colored Profound Python and the Clear Wind Moon Grass first. You’ve taken the materials from the python, which I won’t dispute, but could you give up the Clear Wind Moon Grass?"

Xi Hongyi’s gaze lingered on Qi Chuan’s face as she spoke, studying him closely.

"That’s quite laughable!"

Before Qi Chuan could respond, Yun Qingyue sneered.

"Regardless of who discovered them first, the Clear Wind Moon Grass had the Three-Colored Profound Python as its guardian. This python was a formidable Tier Two Middle Grade Demon Beast. You waited until we dealt with the python and were about to claim the Clear Wind Moon Grass, only to show up and expect to gain without effort; is there any such good fortune?"

Hearing this, Xi Hongyi was momentarily speechless.

Indeed, if she had revealed herself at first sight, before Qi Chuan and Yun Qingyue dealt with the python, cooperation might have been an option.

Appearing later meant she lost any claim, even if she had discovered the spirit grass and python first.

"Apologies, we can’t give up the Clear Wind Moon Grass."

Qi Chuan spoke up this time.

His expression was calm, his tone indisputable. With a wave of his hand, the Clear Wind Moon Grass, along with the stone it rooted in, rose and landed in a Jade Box before Qi Chuan, then was stored in his Qiankun Bag at his waist.

His actions seemed entirely unconcerned with Xi Hongyi’s feelings—a tyrannical display.

"You..."

Seeing this, Xi Hongyi’s face flashed with anger, her eyes fixed on Qi Chuan.

Even though Qi Chuan’s strength wasn’t less than hers, and he had a Foundation Establishment Early Stage ally, this was overly dominating and dismissive of her!

It’s crucial to remember that she was a strong figure in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage!

When had she ever been so lightly regarded by someone in the same realm?

Yet, despite her anger, she felt helpless against Qi Chuan, knowing her chances of winning against the two were slim.
