Chapter 1955: Chapter 1799: This Sword Recognizes Its Master (Part 2)
"That person, has been to Peach Blossom Land?" Dongfang Yun asked in surprise.
Not only has he been there, but even the map you’re holding was drawn by him.
Song Yun chuckled internally, just about to brush it off, when suddenly he saw a red python, as thick as a wrist, leap down from the tree, its blood-red mouth wide open, sharp fangs aiming for Dongfang Yun’s shoulder.
Dongfang Yun has reached the mid SS-level, possessing formidable strength.
Similarly, her sense of danger is also very acute.
Just as the python charged towards her, she sensed it, and her figure moved, dodging to the side.
At the same time, Song Yun worried for Dongfang Yun’s safety and rushed towards her.
Unexpectedly, the two collided.
Song Yun reacted quickly, hugged Dongfang Yun, and spun to avoid the attack.
The two were pressed tightly together, and Song Yun felt his body touch a soft spot, even sensing Dongfang Yun’s body warmth.
At the moment of evasion, Song Yun’s face brushed against Dongfang Yun’s cheek.
Dongfang Yun’s skin was silky smooth.
In that instant, Song Yun couldn’t help but feel his heart flutter.
"What are you doing?"
Dongfang Yun abruptly pushed Song Yun away, recalling the intimate contact just now, feeling both shy and angry.
Her eyes showed irritation, but her cheeks were flushed, making her seem less heroic and more adorable.
Song Yun explained, "I saw the snake about to bite you, and in the urgency, I wanted to pull you away."
Dongfang Yun knew Song Yun was telling the truth, so she didn’t pursue the matter further.
But from childhood, she had never been held like this by anyone; not even by a woman, except when her master held her when she was little.
At this moment, her heart felt unbearably awkward.
"Hiss."
A cold, blood-curdling sound rang out.
Song Yun and Dongfang Yun turned to look, only to see the red python that missed its attack now coiled on the ground, with its head raised, hissing at them.
This red python’s body was thick, its head flat, and its green eyes gleamed fiercely, with sharp-pointed fangs and a black tongue seemingly laced with venom.
"Bloodscale Python!"
Seeing the snake, Dongfang Yun’s face changed slightly.
Song Yun hadn’t seen this kind of snake before, and asked, "Is this snake formidable?"
Dongfang Yun said seriously, "This snake alone isn’t formidable for us, but wherever this snake appears, there’s sure to be a swarm of snakes."
A snake swarm!
The enormity of the swarm that could worry Dongfang Yun was unimaginable to Song Yun.
"Hiss! Hiss!"
The Bloodscale Python seemed aware of Song Yun and Dongfang Yun’s strength, hissing its black tongue in a show of intimidation, but refrained from attacking.
"We must leave now, or once the snake swarm gathers, it’ll be too late."
With a heavy expression, Dongfang Yun turned and continued on.
Song Yun glanced around, the jungle was quiet, seemingly devoid of anything unusual.
But he trusted Dongfang Yun’s experience and followed her forward.
After walking forward some tens of meters, anomalies indeed appeared.
The two found the surrounding trees, shrubs, grass... all filled with different kinds of snakes.
These snakes remained motionless, coldly staring at Song Yun and Dongfang Yun as they passed.
Rumble...
Suddenly, a loud sound erupted from the ground, causing it to tremble as if experiencing an earthquake.
"This is bad."
Dongfang Yun halted, drawing the sword from her bag, vigilantly looking in all directions.
Song Yun dared not take it lightly, drawing the Throat Sealing Sword, standing back to back with Dongfang Yun, also looking around.
The rumbling sound continued, trees sometimes toppled in the distance, raising dust clouds.
Song Yun focused his gaze, the fallen trees were actually being knocked over by the snake swarm, and at this moment, the swarm surged like a tide, densely covering the ground.
The snake swarm was multi-colored, varied, of different sizes, all heading towards Song Yun and Dongfang Yun.
And the rumbling sound was caused by the snake swarm.
Countless snakes must be gathered to create such a sound.
Once the snake swarm reached closer, Song Yun realized its magnitude, vast and boundless, stretching far beyond what he could see.
He considered himself somewhat experienced, but had never seen such a large swarm, it was like a movie, unbelievably numerous.
"Is there any effective way to deal with these snakes?"
Song Yun asked Dongfang Yun.
Dongfang Yun replied gravely, "According to the book records, if you encounter the Bloodscale Python swarm, you either carve a blood path or die!"
Carving a blood path, easier said than done.
Song Yun frowned slightly, thought briefly, and gripped the Black Light Break Sword with his left hand.
Given today’s situation, he had no choice but to use the Black Light Break Sword; otherwise, if the snakes got too close, however skilled he might be, there’d be no escape.
After all, two fists can’t fight four hands; let alone so many snakes, even if ten snakes crawled on him, he’d be doomed.
"Dongfang Yun, follow me later, I’ll carve a blood path."
Song Yun said solemnly.
Dongfang Yun was puzzled, "How are you going to do that? There are millions, tens of millions of snakes, do you have a way out?"
Song Yun replied firmly, "Follow my steps, forget the rest."
Seeing Song Yun’s resolute attitude, Dongfang Yun stopped asking further, nodding, "Okay, I’ll stick close to you."
As they spoke, the snake swarm was already ten meters away.
A bit closer, and they’d be in the attack range of the swarm, countless snakes could rush in; once entangled, escaping would be impossible.
Nine meters.
Eight meters.
Seven meters.
...
Song Yun calculated the distance, when the swarm was four meters away, the leading Bloodscale Python sprang at him, fangs wide open.
In this moment, he swiftly drew the Black Light Break Sword from his waist.
A black Sword Qi, two meters wide, was unleashed, carrying wild energy towards the front of Song Yun.
"Such strong Sword Qi!"
Seeing the Sword Qi, Dongfang Yun exclaimed in surprise.
"Go."
Song Yun shouted, moved with the Sword Qi, charging forward.
Dongfang Yun didn’t have time to think, followed closely.
The destructive power of the black Sword Qi was beyond what the snakes could withstand.
Wherever the Sword Qi passed, no matter how thick the snakes were, they’d be destroyed, leaving nothing but blood and debris, forming a blood-red path.
The snakes were highly perceptive, aware of the Sword Qi’s might, they avoided it.
Unfortunately, the speed of the Sword Qi was fast, with no snake on its path spared, all perished.
The Sword Qi charged over thirty meters before losing strength and disappearing.
Shwing.
Song Yun swung the sword, releasing another black Sword Qi, continuing forward, carving a path for himself and Dongfang Yun.
Thus, the two followed the Sword Qi, rushing forward.
In front of them, was a blood-red path.
Behind them, was the pursuing snake swarm.
The scene was spectacular!
After releasing a dozen Sword Qi attacks, the two had crossed several kilometers.
But what they didn’t expect was that the snake swarm ahead still stretched on infinitely; especially looking towards the hill, the entire mountain was occupied by snakes.
"Damn it, where did all these snakes come from?"
Song Yun couldn’t help but curse, continually using the Black Light Break Sword to release Sword Qi, he felt his strength waning.
After all, each Sword Qi release required a considerable amount of his True Qi.
"You take it."
Song Yun handed the Black Light Break Sword to Dongfang Yun.
Dongfang Yun understood his intention, took the sword and swung it forward.
Unexpectedly, no Sword Qi was released.
"What’s happening? Why can’t I use it?"
Dongfang Yun was caught off guard, seeing the path-clearing Sword Qi ahead had vanished, the snake swarm pressing towards them, she hurriedly swung the sword again.
The Black Light Break Sword trembled, yet still no Sword Qi came forth.
Dongfang Yun frowned, at a loss.
"Damn, this sword recognizes its owner, such a hassle!"
Song Yun cursed inwardly, snatched the Black Light Break Sword from Dongfang Yun’s hand, and swung it forward.
