I can bless thousands of magical powers.

The thousands of bream controlled by the python actually have another name.

Killer fish!

They followed this giant monster closely, foraging and breeding in the surrounding waters where it lived. They were ferocious and had a fondness for flesh and blood, with sharp teeth capable of biting through hard bones.

If someone accidentally falls into the area where these killer fish are active, they will swarm towards them in a very short time.

Eat this unlucky guy until only his skeleton is left!
If these killer fish hadn't been following the giant python and unable to escape its control...

The entire Nutao River will become their hunting ground!

However, under Zhang Yuan's water-controlling ultimate attack, hundreds of killer fish instantly turned into mincemeat.

But the gruesome deaths of these creatures did not deter their others; instead, they fueled their bloodlust and ferocity, causing them to relentlessly continue their attack on Zhang Yuan.

Then the water, controlled by Zhang Yuan, was crushed into powder.

Large numbers of killer fish plunged into this invisible millstone of flesh and blood, causing the visibility in the surrounding waters to drop drastically.

Meanwhile, the giant python continued to control the swarm of killer fish to besiege Zhang Yuan, while simultaneously launching a sudden counterattack.

It twisted its massive body in the water, and every python scale covering its body rippled strangely. The muscles within its skin trembled violently, unleashing terrifying power.

call!
The next moment, a thick, long python tail lashed out at Zhang Yuan's waist with lightning speed!

The python's attack had been brewing for a long time, and it had concentrated all its strength. Its tail completely ignored the obstruction of the water, and the speed of the strike was simply unbelievable.

The attack was so powerful and fast that the water the python's tail swept across instantly boiled, producing countless rising bubbles!
Zhang Yuan, who was being besieged by the killer fish, felt a chill run down his spine. His incredibly sharp senses instantly detected the treacherous sneak attack of this giant monster.

Without the slightest hesitation, he suddenly leaped upwards.

Just as Zhang Yuan floated up, a streak of dark light flashed past the spot where he had just been.

A terrifying force then swept over.

Hundreds of killer fish in the surrounding waters suddenly exploded into clouds of blood mist!
Although Zhang Yuan narrowly escaped the serpent's sneak attack, he was still affected by the shockwave.

He was secretly surprised.

It should be noted that due to the death of a large number of killer fish, Zhang Yuan could not see the giant python at all just now. He relied entirely on his divine sense to lock onto it and perceive its movements in advance.

Even if it were any other sixth-tier martial artist, even if they had reached the peak level, they would have had no chance of dodging this attack.

There's clearly a reason why Heyuan has been unable to deal with it for decades!

Having witnessed the power of this strange python, Zhang Yuan felt no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, his fighting spirit soared.

With Zhang Yuan's current cultivation level, it would be extremely difficult for him to improve even a little bit.

Only by experiencing real life-or-death tests and competing against powerful opponents can one truly unleash their potential.

To gain experience for breaking through to the Divine Realm!
Zhang Yuan regained his balance and, using his divine sense to pinpoint the target location, pounced forward.

The Overlord Halberd in his hand once again emitted a dazzling light.

This light not only pierced through the murky water, but even reached the surface of the river!

On the high platform, Wu Mingrui and his son Wu Ziyu looked at each other in bewilderment.

They all thought Zhang Yuan was dead, with no chance of survival.

However, reality greatly surprised everyone!
After Zhang Yuan entered the water, a fierce battle immediately broke out underwater. The undercurrents surged and the water became turbulent, producing not only a large number of bubbles but also streams of river water that had turned red.

Everything proves that Zhang Yuan did not perish in the giant python's mouth.

The battle has only just begun!
"How...how is this possible?"

Wu Ziyu could hardly believe what he was seeing; his entire understanding of the world had been turned upside down!
Wu Mingrui's eyes were deep and unfathomable: "I underestimated this one." You must know that this giant python in the Nutao River has always been a major thorn in the side of the Wu family of Heyuan.

Although the twice-monthly offerings can ensure that this ferocious behemoth will not cause any major harm, its existence is like a sharp blade hovering over the Wu family's head.

It could fall at any moment!

Therefore, the Wu family has been constantly seeking solutions.

Zhang Yuan was merely one option.

Just as Zhang Yuan himself guessed, Wu Mingrui mainly wanted to gain the support of the Mo family through him.

The strength and influence of the Mo family in Shangjingtian are unmatched by the Wu family of Daqian.

Not to mention the Wu family of Heyuan.

Once we can mobilize Dao soldiers to form a great array to slay evil and destroy demons, and with the combined efforts of a dozen sixth-tier experts, the chances of taking down this giant python are extremely high.

Then the Wu family joined forces with the Xiyuan Daoying to open up the waterway in the Liping Mountains.

Great things can be accomplished!

But Wu Mingrui was very clear that this was only the most ideal outcome.

Even if there's only a sliver of a chance, he's willing to invest resources to win over Zhang Yuan.

The head of the Wu family never dreamed that Zhang Yuan would be so fierce!

Going into the river alone to fight a giant python—is that something a normal person would do?

If Zhang Yuan were a powerful being at the Divine Realm, it would be one thing, but he hasn't even reached such a high level, yet he's so brave and powerful!

Wu Mingrui's gaze was fixed on the seemingly boiling river bend.

He couldn't see the underwater battle, but his intuition told the Wu family patriarch that Zhang Yuan wasn't deliberately courting death!

Meanwhile, deep underwater, the battle between Zhang Yuan and the giant python had reached a fever pitch.

This monstrous creature was covered with a thick layer of scales, which were not only extremely tough and thick, but also covered with mucus.

Zhang Yuan's Overlord Halberd, infused with Primordial Chaos True Qi, pierced through the formidable defense, but it could barely penetrate it. In fact, it would slide away uncontrollably, leaving only a shallow wound on its surface.

It should be noted that the Overlord Halberd is a high-level Xuan weapon, capable of penetrating even the protective armor of a sixth-level expert, yet it could not harm this strange creature.

Even more terrifying is that the python's scales can repair themselves.

As soon as Zhang Yuan unleashed his power and shattered a few pieces, the damaged areas flashed with dark light, and the shattered python scales regrowed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He charged around the giant python from left and right, unleashing all his techniques—slashing, thrusting, cutting, and slicing with his halberd—but none of them caused as much damage as the initial blow to its throat.

The power unleashed by the giant python during its struggle with Zhang Yuan was terrifying.

It swam back and forth rapidly, constantly stirring up surging undercurrents to interfere with Zhang Yuan's movements in the water.

Suddenly, the python's tail lashed out with tremendous force.

Zhang Yuan can dodge successfully countless times.

But if he fails even once and gets hit, his protective armor will shatter on the spot.

Therefore, while launching an attack, Zhang Yuan also had to guard against the opponent's counterattack.

Unable to unleash their full power! (End of Chapter)
