Its tail that was as thick as a tank was waving around, creating extremely sharp blades out of air that charged towards Ye Chen. He moved his body upwards and jumped into the air at the speed of lightning without any second thoughts.
Snap!
The wooden log was instantly smashed, just like a stick hitting the bean curd.
Mid-air…
Ye Chen took a deep breath. He struck four times with his [Hidden Cloud Sword] towards the [Ancient Water Python], aiming at its head, neck, abdomen and a seven inch part of its tail.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Except the strike aimed towards its tail, the rest of the strikes hit exactly at the place he aimed. However, the sharpness of the sword could still break through the python’s scales and just a bit of its skin. Greyish-red blood spurted out and mixed with the lake water.
The python was really hurt, its greenish eyes turned wide and fierce.
It opened its mouth and there was a swirling visible in its throat.
Suddenly, half a meter thick jet of spiral water gushed out. It was being compressed again, and become thicker as it charged towards Ye Chen.
"Well, this monster is too powerful and i’m already at my wits’ end.”
As the spiral of water was too fast, Ye Chen could only blast it away with a forceful slap.
There was a hint of blood on the corner of his mouth. Apparently, he had also suffered some minor injuries.
It was the same for the Giant Python, it’s giant body flipped around a few times in the water and was a little dazed. So, it was unable to immediately attack for the moment.
"It looks like it’s better for me to go to the Panshan Island first, I can get the [Water Separation Core] later." Ye Chen applied some strength on the bending water column mid-air, resembling a taut bowstring and immediately left the spot without continuing his struggle with the giant Python.
This was not a natural bow, it was the water column which was used by Ye Chen as leverage to increase the ‘initial speed’ for him to fly out from there.
Whoosh!
Ye Chen opened his arms wide like a crane and left the area in the blink of an eye, headed towards the Ancient Water Lake.
......
After half a day passed, Ye Chen finally saw a large island that appeared green and luxurious.
The island was circular in shape and was surrounded by a winding road. At the center of the island, other than a huge mountain, there were a lot of ancient buildings in the area surrounding it.
With a wry smile, Ye Chen muttered to himself, "Qu Ming should have arrived earlier! After all, he is more familiar with this lake than I am and could easily avoid the dangers." He shook his head and right away used his Zhen Qi to move the wooded log faster.
Ye Chen did not fly directly to the mountain as it was impolite.
By following the trail, Ye Chen reached the Panshan Road. There were four men standing there.
"Who are you?" The man with a yellow face shouted loudly.
Ye Chen replied,"Gentlemen, I’m a [Sky Cloud Martial School] disciple who come here for a task."
"Any evidence?" The man asked.
Ye Chen hurriedly took out his martial school’s publicly recognised token out and handed it to the man.
The man looked at it carefully and confirmed that it was the real token. He returned the token and said, "Please, please excuse me for offending you just now, warrior Ye. Come, please follow me to go up to the mountain."
Ye Chen nodded and followed the man.
