2035 Black Monarch Python (1/2)

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.
