What kind of giant python is this!
Chen Yun saw a giant python's head rising out of the water pond, which was as big as a small mountain.
Following that, the body of the giant python also gradually emerged.
It appeared with a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, neck like a snake, belly like a mirage, scales like fish, and ears like a cow.
Chen Yun had previously seen a glimpse of it and knew that the width of the water snake's tail alone was already more than 20 or 30 feet.
Now I see the giant body emerge from the water, barely visible and appearing and disappearing.
It was then that he realized just how immense the water snake truly was.
The round and plump figure was over a hundred meters high, and the length might be as long as a couple of kilometers!
Monstrous creature.
An actual leviathan!
Just by looking at the water surface with its red eyes as big as lanterns, Chen Yun felt terrified.
"This is far beyond my abilities!"
Chen Yun opened the eyes of his Qi Observation technique and saw that the water snake's entire body was emitting a faintly radiant light, illuminating half of the sky!
Suddenly, he remembered that the radiant light he had observed on Cao Rujin's body seemed to also illuminate half of the sky.
But now the intensity of the water snake's radiant light seemed even brighter than that of Cao Rujin!
If we don't count any external objects or magic, and just compare the strength intensity, this water snake might even surpass Cao Rujin, a high-ranking wizard, but it hasn't reached the level of a sect master.
High-ranking wizard level water snake?
That's a super spirit beast that can instantly destroy a city!
Even if one were to destroy everything within the entire jurisdiction of a province, it would only be a matter of time.
Chen Yun remembered the upper-tier mage, Yin Wuji.
He had originally wanted to destroy the small city of Liuxi, it required the layout of the Dragon of East Sea and Red Blood Array.
But for a high-ranking wizard, it wouldn't be necessary to go through such trouble.
As long as a powerful spell is cast, it can destroy the Liuxi City instantly!
This is the insurmountable gulf between upper-tier mage and high-ranking wizard!
He knew that his only option seemed to be running away.
Chen Yun was about to use the Golden Light Technique to run away again at once.
Suddenly, the water snake raised its huge tail again and then slammed down heavily once more!
Boom!
Another loud roar echoes throughout the cave!
The entire mountain was violently shaking!
The pond water was tossed and splashed, wetting the entire cave.
Although the interval between the water snake's tail slaps was only a moment, Chen Yun clearly saw that Wu Kejiu and Qin Ming, two other high-ranking mages, each performed defensive magic, and two layers of light screens were fluctuating above the forty-odd people.
Out of the 20 or so weak cultivators, a dozen or so were knocked unconscious by the force.
Even those who did not faint were still violently shaken by the power of the water snake's tail strike, causing them to bleed from their orifices.
The most terrifying thing is that Wu Kejiu and Qin Ming, two high-ranking mages who directly resisted the water snake's power, were affected by its violent shake.
Their muscles burst open, and blood gushed out like a fountain!
Chen Yun's pupils contracted.
From the fact that Wu Kejiu and Qin Ming were able to perform magic in time during the water snake's tail strike, we can see.
These two could have easily dodged the attack just now.
However, Wu Kejiu and Qin Ming did not dodge!
They all sacrificed their lives to protect their companions!
Chen Yun was somewhat puzzled.
Since they clearly know that the water snake is unbeatable.
And even Wu Kejiu and Qin Ming's actions would only add two more corpses.
Why would they do that?
Although he did not understand, Chen Yun's first reaction was still to keep running away.
However, at this moment, the water snake's tail lifted up again.
Clearly, it was going to be another powerful strike.
Something that left Chen Yun in awe happened.
He saw Wu Kejiu, who was struggling to hold up the light barrier, shout out, "Those who are still conscious should retreat with the unconscious first. I'll go ahead and hold it with Qin Ming!"
Qin Ming said nothing, but his face was filled with determination, as if he was prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice!
Fortunately, Ding Xu, whose cultivation was higher, was still conscious.
After Wu Kejiu called out, he roared, his face turning red, and then used his power to gather three or four people and hurl them towards Chen Yun's direction!
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!
Four piercing sounds came towards them.
Chen Yun, who was about to flee, hurriedly sent out his true Qi to catch the four unconscious individuals and place them on the ground.
It seems that the water snake was surprised, as it did not immediately drop its tail after the two attacks.
Wu Kejiu seemed to notice that Chen Yun had successfully escaped.
A look of joy appeared on his face as he shouted, "Chen friend, you take these four people and run first. If you get a chance, come back to help us. It's safer to run as far as possible!"
What?
You're about to die, yet you're telling me to take people and run first?
In Chen Yun's heart, who had always valued his life, a sense of emotion unexpectedly arose.
Reason tells him that at this time, he should not try to be heroic and should run as soon as possible.
But emotions roared inside him, urging him to rush forward and die together with these "comrades"!
Run?
Should I run or not?
This thought flashed through Chen Yun's mind.
Before he could ponder it further, the water snake's massive tail descended again with an unstoppable terrifying force!
Boom!
The ground was blasted and collapsed again, becoming deeper and deeper!
Everywhere were ice crystal powder and stone dust, and water droplets were everywhere.
Demolished and devastated, the scene was a mess.
The water snake continued to strike three more times, turning the land in front of Chen Yun into a basin.
Finally, the water snake raised its tail again, seemingly preparing for a fourth strike.
Chen Yun saw that Wu Kejiu and Qin Ming's light screen had already been shattered.
Both were gasping heavily and their bodies were drenched in blood.
Twenty or more unconscious individuals had collapsed on the ground.
Only a dozen or so were still standing.
Ding Xu, Long Nü Sanjiu, Xu Yang, and others displayed a look of righteous indignation, as if they sensed death approaching.
Wu Kejiu gave a grim smile and glanced towards Chen Yun on the other side, who "stood foolishly".
With his last bit of strength, he roared, "Run! Take those four and escape!"
After yelling, he weakened and collapsed, gasping for breath like a wind box.
Qin Ming sat down as well.
All the remaining cultivators were the same.
It can be seen that these people have completely given up resistance.
Or more accurately, the water snake had hit three times in a row, completely draining their resistance.
Why?
Chen Yun really wanted to ask Wu Kejiu and Qin Ming two people.
Other people might not have been able to escape during the first wave of the water snake's attack.
But these two high-ranking mages could withstand the water snake's three attacks.
Clearly, before the first wave, even the third wave of tail slaps, they were still capable of finding ways to escape.
Why should they bear the burden, and go down with everyone else?
Even at the point of being killed, Wu Kejiu still had me run away with the four people thrown by Ding Xu?
Are you really not afraid of death?
Do you really not cherish life?
Chen Yun looked deeply at Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and the other companions who were already injured beyond recognition, and his heart made a silent decision.
From beginning to end, Chen Yun had not spoken a single word to Wu Kejiu, but instead silently used his true Qi to lift the four people on the ground and turned around to leave towards the outside.
Dying for a friend, not for myself.
This is the belief that Chen Yun has always held.
Since Chen Yun began his cultivation, the greatest goal he had was to achieve immortality.
Now that he has reached the level of middle-grade mage, combined with the consumption of Lingsui, his life expectancy is approximately eight hundred to one thousand years.
That is to say, even if Chen Yun does not make any further cultivation breakthroughs in the future, he can still live for eight hundred to a thousand years.
And if he died here, then all those years of cultivation would be for nothing.
A high probability of perishing here.
A lifespan of eight hundred to a thousand years.
It's common knowledge how to choose.
Perhaps some people would say Chen Yun is afraid of death.
Indeed, he himself also thought this way.
But, Chen Yun knows that he is not like this in any case.
Even if there's a slight chance of winning.
He might not have run away so cleanly.
Just the water snake in front of him is too powerful, equivalent to a high-ranking mage.
If Chen Yun had impulsively gone up, it would have only added one more body.
Moreover, by running away with the four others, at least five lives are saved.
It's better than being completely wiped out!
Chen Yun comforted himself in his heart, having taken a few steps away.
A soft sigh came from behind.
The voices were very light.
Had it not been for the greatly enhanced body through cultivating the Flying Spirit Jade Talisman, Chen Yun might not have been able to hear them at all.
Nevertheless, his excellent hearing allowed him to hear them.
“We're really going to die now!” Long Nü Sanjiu laughed bitterly.
“We're definitely going to die!”
"We're all doomed to die!"
Gao Chen and Xu Yang et al. were all sighing softly.
Only Ding Xu said regretfully, "Masters Wu and Qin are still so magnanimous, willing to die with us rather than abandon anyone. Alas, to be honest, you two are not worthy."
Wu Kejiu and Qin Ming did not speak, but simply raised their proud heads and looked towards the water snake, as if prepared to face death calmly.
At this moment, the water snake lifted its tail again and struck down with an unparalleled might!
Unlike Wu Kejiu and Qin Ming's calm acceptance of death, Chen Yun felt a surge of panic.
Long Nü Sanjiu, Ding Xu, and others did not have such high ideals.
They all couldn't help but close their eyes, whether it was out of unwillingness to see themselves die, or unwillingness to see their companions perish.
A terrifying wave of air descended from the sky.
Everyone knows that in the next moment, they will die!
But just as this critical moment was about to arrive, a thunderous boom, like a sudden explosion on the ground, resounded spontaneously!
Immediately afterward, before they could even react to what had happened, they heard another "thud" of a collision!
Hmm?
What happened?
The crowd hurriedly opened their eyes to look.
Suddenly, they saw an astonishing scene!
It was Chen Yun!
Chen Yun had somehow transformed into a towering figure of several meters high, with a blue face, sharp fangs, hair like cinnabar, and a ferocious expression. He had wings shaped like thunder and wind on his back!
What is incredible is that at this moment, Chen Yun's Dao Body is covered in bulging veins!
His entire body seemed as if it were about to be crushed by a million-pound burden.
However, he blocked the water snake's fierce strike on its tail!
Qin Ming was rendered speechless.
Wu Kejiu was stunned.
Long Nü Sanjiu, Gao Chen, Xu Yang, and others were all shocked to the extreme!
They were stunned!
Everyone was stunned!
No one could have imagined that Chen Yun, who had already been safe, would suddenly return at this critical moment of life and death.
What was even more unexpected was that Chen Yun transformed into his Dao Body and, relying solely on the immense strength of his mortal body, managed to withstand such a fierce strike from the water snake!
To put that into perspective, the fierce strike from the water snake earlier was only barely blocked by the two high-ranking mages, Wu Kejiu and Qin Ming, using defensive spells.
Now, Chen Yun, relying on his own strength, managed to withstand it?
Yes, Chen Yun is now spewing blood wildly, with muscles and tendons exploding open, looking very disheveled.
But he had truly and factually blocked the water snake's shocking strike!
The crowd felt that Chen Yun was shining brightly at this moment!
As if, his tiny body, in comparison to the giant tail of the water snake, seemed so grand and majestic!
