"A Fourth Layer Earth Tier exotic beast, I'll try to see if I can get the Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit. You all set up the military formation at the entrance. If I'm discovered, immediately augment me with your spiritual power!"

Xia Feng pondered for a moment, then came up with the most secure plan.

If he could avoid a battle with the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python and still get the Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit, that would be the best.

If he's accidentally discovered, the five women could augment him with spiritual power, and he was confident he could escape the attacks of the Two-headed Python unscathed.

"Okay!"

The five women nodded, then stood at the cave entrance, each stepping into their designated positions, and the Emperor Level Middle Grade Five Elements Battle Array quickly took form.

Xia Feng took a deep breath and then restrained all his breath as he slowly walked towards the cave.

He treaded gingerly forward, nauseated by the stench coming from the cave.

But to avoid a battle, he forced himself to endure the discomfort and continued his cautious advance.

A distance of five hundred meters took Xia Feng nearly half a stick of incense's time to cover.

The Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python was enormous, with two three-meter-wide snakeheads closing their eyes, flicking their tongues as they breathed.

Gradually, Xia Feng got closer to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit, but his tension increased with every step.

With the gigantic snakeheads blocking the way, he had to pass between them to get the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.

It was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous maneuver.

One step, two steps.

Xia Feng gently stepped over the two snakeheads like a feather. Only when he was completely past them did he allow himself to relax.

The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill was within reach, all Xia Feng had to do was extend his hand.

"Creak."

But just as Xia Feng extended his hand, a dangerous sound suddenly echoed from behind him!

Xia Feng's pupils shrank violently, and instinctively, he channeled his spiritual power to the fullest, crossed his arms in front of him, and swiftly turned!

"Boom!"

The massive snake tail erupted instantly, slamming hard into Xia Feng's arms!

Though he had defended, he was still sent flying against the rock wall, penetrating seven or eight meters through rocks, leaving his aura fragile!

"Husband!"

The five women outside the cave couldn't help but cry out in shock.

Xia Feng gritted his teeth, struggled to climb up from the rock wall, and then shouted outwardly.

"Five Elements Array!"

Seeing Xia Feng still had strength left, the five women breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately channeled all their spiritual power to Xia Feng.

In an instant, Xia Feng's realm quickly surged until reaching the Third Layer Earth Tier Martial Sovereign before it slowly stopped rising.

"Damn beast, so it was pretending to sleep all along!"

Xia Feng growled, glaring fiercely at the Two-headed Heaven-Swallowing Python.

The giant python let out a snide snake-like smile, flicking its tongue and hissing continually.

It's said that exotic beasts comparable to human Earth Tier Martial Sovereigns are very cunning. After fighting against humans for so many years, this damn beast has learned some tactics.

Who knows when it woke up, but the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python didn't attack when it did. It waited for Xia Feng to relax, about to succeed before launching a sudden strike!

Its plan was well thought out, except it didn't account for the complete Supreme Technique Xia Feng had mastered, which for a moment bathed him in golden light, and enhanced his defense to its peak.

Even though just one blow dimmed the Supreme Technique within him significantly, surely a considerable amount of time would be needed for recovery later.

"Greedy humans... all deserve to die..."

The Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python raised its head and let out a buzzing, human-like sound.

"Emperor Level exotic beasts have awakened spiritual wisdom; this beast can even speak human language."

Xia Feng eyed it coldly, unfazed.

"You are the ninth for a hundred years... like them, you will die!"

The Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python voiced unclear words, then both snakeheads lunged at Xia Feng.

Fast as the wind, swift as lightning, fortunately, under the effects of the Five Elements Array, Xia Feng had raised his power to Earth Tier Martial Sovereign level, or he wouldn't have been able to dodge.

Xia Feng's eyes sharpened; he pulled out the Qingxue Sword and ferociously attacked the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python.

Yet, when the blade touched its scales, all it did was spark, barely penetrating its flesh.

"What strong defense!"

Xia Feng cursed under his breath, then looked around.

The cave was too confined; many divine and martial techniques couldn't be displayed properly. To avoid restricting his capabilities, he turned and ran toward the exit.

The Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python watched him coldly, wasted no delay, turned, and followed with a roar.

The enormous two-headed serpent rushed through the cave's mouth like a landslide, causing the mountains to quake as if about to collapse.

Xia Feng ground his teeth, noting the beast closing in, forcing him to explode his spiritual power and speed up once more.

He didn't expect the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python to be so fast—man and serpent dashed out of the massive cave together simultaneously.

The five women awaiting outside sprang into action, brandishing their weapons at the giant serpent.

The Two-headed Heaven-Swallowing Python flung its tail wildly, halting their attacks and staggering their formations.

After all, it's a Fourth Layer Earth Tier Martial Sovereign; were it not for the synergy and enhancements from the Five Elements Array, a regular Fifth Layer Profound Tier would have already been gravely injured or slain outright.

Before arrival, Xia Feng had anticipated every possible scenario.

Engaging the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python directly was the most troublesome and least desirable outcome for them.

Yet, with the situation as it already was, the five women began executing their planned steps according to prior preparations.

Soon, the five changed formations again, weaving around the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python, though unable to cause significant harm, they managed to impede it from time to time, keeping it at bay.

"It's really tricky; seems hardheaded battle's the only way."

Xia Feng turned back, a glimmer of frost in his eyes. He threw the Qingxue Sword into the air, then shouted: "Celestial Punishment!"

Boom!

The enormous Qingxue Sword came crashing down, and it wasn't over yet; Xia Feng gathered terrifying Purple Thunder in his left hand, bellowing once more: "Celestial Punishment!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, clouds thick as ink gathered in the sky, a two-meter-wide massive lightning bolt crashing downward in conjunction with Celestial Punishment. The two terrifying attacks aimed right at the immense form of the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python.

The Heaven-Swallowing Python wasn't naive. It glanced upward, prompting it to coil its body fiercely into a compact ball.

Its skin darkened, and closer examination would reveal its scales crystallizing, its actual defense multiplying several-fold!

"Boom!"

Both attacks landed simultaneously as Xia Feng fixed his gaze on the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python.

After the cloud of dust settled, the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python remained intact at its original spot, its cold serpent eyes fixed on Xia Feng.
