Chapter Thirty-Six: Reversing Heaven

  The fat man stretched out his big palm and wiped away a cold sweat.

  He then looked at Qin Hao, with a strange glint in his eyes, and asked with complex meaning: "Why did you save me?"

  "I'm willing."

  Qin Hao casually replied, gazing intently at the iron python coiled on the branch above, its piercing cold eyes fixed on its prey. His legs were infused with dark energy, ready to launch his body technique at any moment.

  "I owe you one life." The fat man said with a serious expression.

  "What's with all the nonsense?" Qin Hao waved his hand impatiently.

  "Heh heh, I'm a straightforward person, so I'll just say it clearly." Pongzi's solemn expression returned, and he asked in surprise: "This thing seems to be quite powerful. Isn't the Iron Line Python almost extinct in the Blue Ridge Mountains, only occasionally seen in the deepest parts?"

  "I'm not clear either." Qin Hao furrowed his brow. In fact, he was also thinking about this issue. Many second-level demon beasts in Blue Cliff Mountain had been hunted down, let alone the iron-line python that should have been deep in the forest, how did it end up here?

  However, what made Qin Hao slightly relieved was that this second-order demon beast had a weak aura, but its appearance looked somewhat disheveled. On its massive head, there were signs of flesh and skin being rolled back, with bloodstains from the wound congealing into clots, almost covering half of its skull.

  It seems that it has had a fight with other monsters, and the injury is not very serious, but at least Qin Hao saw a glimmer of hope. A iron python equivalent to Ling Xuan's third stage, if it were in its prime, he and Pangzi would have been buried here today.

  "Bad luck!" Fatso sighed, saying in a melancholic tone: "Is it true that the path of heroes is fraught with difficulties? Is heaven unjust? How can this cruel sky be so heartless?"

  Pausing for a moment, Fatso's tone became extremely heroic, with an air of disdain for the heavens: "Fat Master will defy the heavens today. If the heavens obstruct me, I'll split them open; if the earth blocks me, I..."

  Before the words had fallen, a blood color emerged in the double pupils of the iron line python, and its huge mouth suddenly opened wide, clearly visible, with black blue mysterious air light brewing inside.

  A black-blue aura sphere the size of a human head suddenly shot out, and then transformed into nearly a hundred branches of aura arrows emitting a faint glow, covering the sky and shooting towards Qin Hao and Pangzi.

  The trees that were blocked in the middle were all pierced through like paper, and the speed of the Xuanqi light arrow didn't slow down by half a point. The sturdy trees that were pierced all withered at an extremely fast speed. Almost as soon as they passed through, black substances visible to the naked eye extended from the holes in the trees and began to corrode.

  Qin Hao's foot sole suddenly stomped, and he shot out to the side like an electric shock, then continued to jump up and down, like a nimble cat flying quickly.

  "My goodness, that's too much."

  The chubby guy who hadn't finished speaking his "defiant words" also jumped out in an instant, in a direction completely opposite to Qin Hao's, and then started jumping around randomly. His plump body perfectly illustrated the meaning of agility.

  "Snatch, snatch, snatch..."

  A dark, icy aura flashed down to the ground, instantly turning into a black toxin that corroded countless holes in the earth.

  One strike missed, the terrifying pupils of the iron-line python's eyes shone with an even brighter red light, its mouth opened wider, and it continued to spew out. The head covered in bloodstains, the extremely wide-open bloody maw, and those coldly gleaming fangs made the already notorious iron-line python seem even more ferocious.

  "Do you have a Sealing Mystical Formation for long-range attacks? Defensive ones will also do." Qin Hao shouted at an extremely fast speed while dodging.

  "No, if I had any, I would have sold them long ago. Why would I need to bring these things out and run around?" The fatty rolled on the ground for a few rounds, dodged another round of attacks, and roared in extreme frustration.

  "If this goes on, the vital energy will be exhausted." Qin Hao thought for a moment and shouted: "Attack from different directions at the same time. Use your strongest martial skills to strike him. Otherwise, we'll all be done for."

  "Alright, up." The fatty gritted his teeth and flipped himself off the ground, charging towards the tree branch where the Iron Wire Python was coiled. Qin Hao sped up at the same time, also charging forward. The two of them formed a pincer movement, directly pressing in on the Iron Wire Python.

  The iron-lined python's skull shook, spitting out poisonous arrows at the two of them, but the firepower was scattered and the attack slowed down due to the consumption of Xuan Qi. Naturally, it couldn't suppress the momentum of the two men. Within ten breaths, Qin Hao and Baozi had already approached within a hundred steps.

  "Come on."

  Qin Hao's aura was like a volcanic eruption, surging through his entire body in that instant. His Thousand Mile Wind Shield was fully activated, and he approached step by step like a fierce beast. However, although his figure moved quickly, it was strange that not even half a speck of dust was raised, as if he hadn't set foot on the ground at all.

  "Fatty's showing off!" Fatty shouted in a thunderous voice that made people's ears ache. He didn't know where he picked up a thick club as big as his thigh, swinging it with a whooshing sound, deflecting all the poisonous arrows shot at him to one side.

  Eight steps, seven steps, six steps...

  Fatso's figure gradually approached, when the distance was only three steps away, Fatso took that root which had been corroded and battered with a thousand holes and fiercely smashed it towards the iron-wire python. Then his body pressed down and sank, and suddenly bounced up again, relying on that counter-force to collide with the iron-wire python, and his massive fist was also instantly thrown out.

  "Rush punch." The fatty struck the iron python with great momentum.

  "Hiss, hiss, hiss."

  The iron-line python's tail suddenly lengthened, wrapping around the branch it was coiled on, and its upper body leapt forward in a smooth motion, easily avoiding the falling branches.

  The iron-line python then hung upside down, its scarlet snake tongue darting in and out, its eyes revealing a fierce glow.

  When it saw the fat man approaching, its massive skull first swung with force, and then, using that momentum, violently crashed into the fat man.

  The iron-line python's skull is huge, but its overall body shape and size are still far inferior to those of the hippopotamus. The two colliding bodies were like a wild boar and a wild dog crashing into each other, with completely incomparable momentum.

  The result of this collision seems more obvious than ever. But the fact in front of us is completely different from what it looks like.

  Pangzi's fist hit the iron python's head, only making a dull sound, and soon returned to silence, without even scratching the skin.

  The iron-headed python's hard head was like a heavy iron hammer, smashing heavily into the fat man's abdomen, directly throwing him out.

  Chubby flew backward at a speed even faster than when he came, struggling to regain his composure. Before he even landed, he yelled out: "Next one's on you!"

  Qin Hao also at this time, circled around to the back of the iron-line python.

  "Three consecutive breaks of shattered gold."

  A loud shout in his heart, Qin Hao's right hand, covered with fiery red light, clenched tightly. In that instant, he almost non-stop threw out three punches. Three fist shadows overlapped and broke through the air to strike the Iron Line Python.

  Clang!

  The fist hit the iron-line python's skull, and there was a sound of gold and iron ringing out, which shows how hard this iron-line python's body is.

  "Hiss."

  The iron-line python was in pain, its head inverted, and it sprayed a ball of venom at Qin Hao's face.

  Qin Hao dodged to the side, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the monster's huge skull had already pressed into Qin Hao's face gate. Those crimson eyes were staring at Qin Hao's eyes within a few feet, with an ominous intent surging in them.

  "Hiss." The serpent-like creature spat out a mouthful of venom, its skull shaking as it charged towards Qin Hao's face.

  "Be careful." The fat man who had just barely managed to get up shouted anxiously.

  If he were hit by this move, Qin Hao might completely lose his strength for one battle.

  Qin Hao was shocked in his heart, his feet tapped continuously, and his body retreated backwards, jumping out at the same time. His left hand hastily stretched out, crossing over his forehead, shielding his face.

  "Crack."

  The body of the demon beast was incredibly strong, and the iron-wire python was a typical example. As a result of this collision, the outcome was predictable. With one blow, Qin Hao seemed to hear the sound of breaking bones coming from within his own body, followed by a surge of immense power spreading throughout his entire body from his arm, causing him to lose control and crash out like he had been hit by a horse carriage.

  "Cough cough cough."

  His body ached all over, but Qin Hao didn't dare to stop for even a moment. As he rolled around, he also managed to crawl back up from the ground. When fighting this demon beast, even stopping for a brief moment would put his life in danger.

  The iron python resolved the crisis and stood on the branch, but it did not dare to spray venom recklessly. Instead, it raised its body and restored its vital energy while waiting for an opportunity to move.

  "Hey fatty, can you still fight?"

  Qin Hao asked tentatively. Qin Hao and Paozi, although both were only at the tenth level of Condensed Mystery, were extremely formidable among those of the same rank. However, just now, outside Blue Cliff Ridge, they had separately fought against Lin Family's guards, Lin Bi and Lin Duo, before chasing and countering each other within Blue Cliff Ridge, expending a considerable amount of energy in the process.

  Furthermore, they are facing an extremely ferocious iron python, which is almost completely crushed with just one collision.

  "Fat master's skin is thick and meaty, he won't die. This beast really wants to force fat master to use his ultimate move. Fine, I'll just take two more breaths and then I'll finish him off." Fat master shouted angrily, but Qin Hao thought that judging from the way he was panting while speaking, he was probably also barely holding on.

  He moved his left hand and found a stiff, painful feeling on his arm. Qin Hao suspected that his arm was probably fractured in several places, although the force of the iron python's impact had been alleviated by his earlier retreat, the fracture did not seem too serious, but for now, he could no longer use his left arm. In an instant, Qin Hao thought of thousands of ideas, but none of them could solve the current predicament.

  It seems like I really have no choice but to use that trick after all.

  "Ah."

  Qin Hao let out a long breath and slowly adjusted his breathing, calming down his panicked thoughts.

  "Ah."

  He took a deep breath again, Qin Hao closed his eyes, and his heart became even more stable. The ancient well was calm, and his heart was like still water.

  At that moment, the fat man felt a sudden surge of profound feeling in his body. It was as if the temporarily calm and sleeping ocean, with no waves or ripples on its surface, was churning with magnificent and astonishing power beneath, waiting to erupt at any time.

  In an instant, Qin Hao's body, which had been as still as an ancient tree, suddenly transformed into a fierce gust of wind that swept towards the iron-wire python hanging upside down in mid-air.

  "Hiss, hiss, hiss."

  A red spark flashed in the snake's eyes, and poisonous arrows shot out of the iron wire python's mouth densely. But Qin Hao didn't even open his eyes, he just dodged quickly, like a gust of wind passing through the gaps between trees and flowers, quickly breaking through the encirclement of poison.

  "Heaven-Shaking Palm."

  At that moment, Qin Hao's eyes suddenly opened wide, and a red mysterious aura flashed through his deep eyes. His right hand was already in a flat palm shape, with a fierce wind striking out. In that instant, the fist seemed to have the momentum of thousands of horses galloping, rivers flowing, and on top of the fist, there seemed to be a whistling sound, like the howling of a stormy sea, carrying an unstoppable force towards the iron wire python.

  "What kind of martial skill is this?" The fat man's pupils involuntarily widened: "A mid-tier peak martial skill? No, even if it were a mid-tier peak, it shouldn't be able to produce such momentum. Could it be an extreme tier martial skill? How can he, with his mere tenth level of Condensed Mystery, bring out such power from an extreme tier martial skill and even produce a battle intent?"

  The iron-wire python's eyes seemed to flash with surprise, and it raised its head, ejecting the sharp blades formed from toxic gas at an even faster speed. However, those blades were all deflected to one side by the shockwave emanating from Qin Hao's fist as they flew towards him.

  Clang.

  A deafening crash of metal on metal, a hundred times louder than before, suddenly exploded as Qin Hao's fist finally struck the head of the iron python.

  "Explode!" A loud shout, the dark energy surging to his right fist at this moment, transformed into a shocking force that slammed into the iron wire python's body, impacting its entire body.

  "Hiss, hiss, hiss."

  The iron python's scream was sharp and piercing, with a hint of tragic meaning, echoing through the quiet forest, adding a few more frightening elements.

  Just as Qin Hao's mouth corner revealed a relaxed smile, the iron python's eyes and mouth were all bleeding, its body under the snake skin was constantly shaking, and soon it became a soft piece of rotten meat that fell to the ground. Its outer skin, which was harder than the armor worn by warriors, was not penetrated, but the shockwave emitted by the Quan Tian Palm at the last moment had already shattered all the flesh inside its body.

  At this moment, when facing a crisis, Qin Hao's Heaven-Shocking Palm suddenly broke through its limits and reached the realm of minor completion.
