Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Finally Saved

Translator: 549690339

Beneath the Martial God, there are the Martial Saints.

Yang Xiaotian had not expected that right after the Azure Thunder Python had endured its Divine Tribulation, a Martial Saint at the peak of his power would arrive.

Moreover, it looked as if the other party had long been lying in wait on the side, not merely passing by chance.

Yang Xiaotian guessed correctly; the newcomer had indeed been lying in wait for a long time.

When the Azure Thunder Python saw the newcomer, its expression changed,

“Zhu Jing!”

Zhu Jing stood aloft in the air, looking down at the Azure Thunder Python lying on the ground, gasping for breath, and chuckled, “Old Python, an old friend is here to see you, no need for that face.”

The two were indeed old acquaintances.

A hundred years ago, Zhu Jing came to Thunder Lake to obtain the treasure of Thunder Lake and was injured by the Azure Thunder Python.

Previously, Zhu Jing had made several attempts to return, but each time, he fled with injuries.

The Azure Thunder Python’s heart sank as it looked at Zhu Jing.

If it had been before, it naturally would not have feared the opponent, but now, it had just endured its Divine Tribulation and was severely wounded.

It glanced at the Divine Armor not far away; even its Divine Armor had been shattered into pieces by the force of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Seeing the expression on the Azure Thunder Python, Zhu Jing laughed and said, “Old Python, do you think you can still escape? Don’t worry, out of respect for old friendship, I’ll take good care of your skin and flesh.”

As he said this, his eyes greedily looked over the body of the Azure Thunder Python, making no attempt to hide it.

The Azure Thunder Python was a Divine Beast from ancient times.

Its body was a treasure all over.

Its blood, although not comparable to Dragon Blood, still possessed half its efficacy.

Its demon core could be used in Alchemy to help him break through to the Martial God Realm.

Its python soul could also be refined into weapons or armor to enhance their power.

Moreover, at the bottom of Thunder Lake, there lay a treasure he had long coveted.

Seeing Zhu Jing staring greedily at its body, the Azure Thunder Python’s eyes turned cold, “Zhu Jing, do you truly think I have no strength left to fight back?”

“Even in death, I can take you down with me.” As it spoke, its whole body surged with thunder light, and an astonishing aura swept over heaven and earth.

The parts of the Azure Thunder Python’s body that had been destroyed by the Tribulation Thunder began to slowly heal.

“Thunder Dragon Unification Technique!” Zhu Jing was astonished to see this.

The Thunder Dragon Unification Technique was an Innate Divine Ability of the Thunder Dragon Clan, and upon invoking it, it could heal wounds.

However, Zhu Jing was not panicked; although the Thunder Dragon Unification

Technique could heal wounds, it also required time, and given the Azure Thunder Python’s injuries, it would take at least several months to fully recover.

He suddenly had a long sword in his hand.

This long sword was completely snow-white and, upon being summoned, snowflakes even began to appear in the surrounding space.

“Cold Moon of Heavenly Sword,” the Azure Thunder Python said gravely.

The sword in Zhu Jing’s hand was indeed one of the Heavenly Swords, Cold Moon.

Rank seventy-three on the Heavenly Sword Ranking.

“Correct, Cold Moon of Heavenly Sword,” Zhu Jing said, as he funneled Holy

Power into the Cold Moon sword. Instantly, the sword’s brilliance burst forth, with even the burst alone being a hundred yards long.

Influenced by the sword’s radiance, the ground continuously froze over.

Snowflakes fell from the high sky.

A biting cold air rushed straight towards Yang Xiaotian.

Even with Dragon Essence Body Protection, Yang Xiaotian felt a piercing chill.

Zhu Jing looked at the Azure Thunder Python and suddenly leaped up, slashing down from mid-air.

The terrifying Sword Qi was like a waterfall from heaven, pouring down onto the Azure Thunder Python.

Heaven and Earth seemed to be cleaved into two by this terrifying Sword Qi.

Suddenly, the Azure Thunder Python spun and soared like a dragon, deftly dodging the Sword Qi of Cold Moon, reaching the high sky and striking out with its paw, large as a hill.

Instantly, the mountain-like paw print tore through the air.

Zhu Jing watched the paw print coming at him and, remaining calm, sliced with his Cold Moon sword, splitting the Azure Thunder Python’s paw print, then around his body appeared hundreds of Cold Moon swords. Hundreds of Cold Moon swords, all exactly alike and all tangible!

Yang Xiaotian’s eyes narrowed: “Sword Intent!”

Once Swordsmanship reached Summit Mastery, the next level was Sword Intent.

And beyond that was the embodiment of Sword Intent.

Clearly, Zhu Jing had achieved the embodiment of Sword Intent.

The hundreds of Cold Moon swords were the manifestation of his Sword

Intent.

Watching the battle between the man and the beast in the sky, Yang Xiaotian asked, “Master Ding, who do you think will win?

“Hard to say,” replied Medicine Cauldron.

Yang Xiaotian was surprised; he had thought Master Ding would say Zhu Jing would win, especially since the Azure Thunder Python had just survived the Divine Tribulation and was severely injured by the Tribulation Thunder.

Yang Xiaotian watched intently as the Azure Thunder Python and Zhu Jing exchanged blows.

Zhu Jing’s Sword Intent was powerful, filling the sky with Sword Qi, and wherever his mind reached, the Sword Qi followed, indeed extremely formidable.

The offensive moves of the Azure Thunder Python were not as sharp as Zhu Jing’s, but with every strike, it managed to break through Zhu Jing’s Sword Qi, and its scales were incredibly defensive; Although Zhu Jing’s Sword Qi hit its body, they were not enough to deliver a fatal blow.

The Azure Thunder Python seemed as if it was on the brink of death, yet it never died.

As the fight dragged on, Zhu Jing grew increasingly agitated, and suddenly, his body was engulfed by Sword Qi. He transformed into a sword, driving the sky-full of Sword Qi towards the Python.

“Old Python, take my Infinite Sword!”

The sky-full of Sword Qi instantly bombarded the Python’s face.

Seeing this, the Python’s eyes glinted fiercely, “Dragon’s Thunder Cloud!”

Above the Nine Heavens, a dragon-shaped cloud suddenly appeared; filled with lightning, it struck down ferociously, engulfing Zhu Jing’s sky-full of Sword Qi in an instant.

However, at the moment when Zhu Jing’s Sword Qi was submerged, it struck right below the head of the Azure Thunder Python.

That was the most vulnerable spot for the Long Clan or their descendants, right where the reverse scales were located.

With a muffled sound, Zhu Jing and the Azure Thunder Python were both sent flying. Zhu Jing spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed heavily onto a distant mountain, causing it to collapse.

The Azure Thunder Python knocked down countless ancient trees in its flight.

Zhu Jing tried to rise, feeling his whole body wracked with unbearable pain. He looked towards the direction of the Azure Thunder Python with both shock and fury, but in the end, he could only fly away unwillingly, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

The Azure Thunder Python struggled to its feet, staring in the direction where Zhu Jing vanished. Once certain of his departure and unable to sustain itself any longer, it collapsed with a thunderous crash, stirring up a storm of sand that took a long time to settle.

After a while, seeing that the Azure Thunder Python remained motionless, Yang Xiaotian finally approached it.

The Python was completely still, so much so that it could not even open its eyes as he drew near.

“There’s barely a breath left in its heart, but it’s not far from death,” Medicine Cauldron said.

Yang Xiaotian frowned. The Azure Thunder Python was grievously wounded—and it was lucky that it carried the ancient bloodlines of the

Heavenly Python and the Thunder Dragon, or it might have perished already.

After some thought, he took out a supreme Endless Life Pill, mixed it with Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, and fed it to the Azure Thunder Python.

Seeing that the Azure Thunder Python showed no sign of improvement, Yang Xiaotian took out another supreme Endless Life Pill, once again mixing it with Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, and fed it to it.

This time, the beat of the Python’s heart grew noticeably stronger.

Encouraged by this, Yang Xiaotian fed it yet another supreme Endless Life Pill.

After administering ten supreme Endless Life Pills, the beating of the Azure Thunder Python’s heart finally normalized.

Yang Xiaotian let out a huge sigh of relief.

The life of the Azure Thunder Python had been saved..
