The sensation of death instantly enveloped Gu Han!
This is bad!
His heart skipped a beat, and the Spiritual Qi in his body circulated frantically as he instinctively retreated.
He was willing to fight to the death.
But that didn't mean he would foolishly throw his life away!
"Hiss!"
Gu Han's actions seemed to enrage it. It flicked its crimson tongue, instantly transforming into a red streak of light, and lunged at Gu Han with a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!
In an instant!
It was already in front of Gu Han!
Its snow-white fangs were terrifyingly sharp, and a putrid, strong odor assailed him!
He couldn't escape!
He had to fight!
In a flash of lightning.
Gu Han only had time for this thought!
At this moment, his spiritual sense, which far surpassed that of ordinary people, once again greatly helped him. Although the small snake was too fast, within his perception, he could barely capture its flight path!
Whoosh!
Without the slightest hesitation!
He pulled out his longsword, and the scarce Spiritual Qi in his body surged out wildly, directly slashing towards the small snake's neck!
There...
Was precisely its vital spot!
"Hiss!"
A human-like look of apprehension actually appeared in the small snake's blood-red vertical pupils. It twisted its body slightly, instantly avoiding the critical area!
Clang!
A metallic clang echoed!
Sparks flew from the scales on the small snake's body, and a deep white mark instantly appeared!
Other than that.
There was no further damage!
As for Gu Han, his entire right arm had gone numb, trembling incessantly, and he even struggled to hold his longsword steady.
"Hiss!"
In pain.
The small snake became ferocious, twisting its body again and instantly biting down on Gu Han's tiger's mouth!
Pain!
Heat!
In an instant, the venom was injected into his body, and an unbearable, almost burning heat spread from the wound up his arm, and that arm... instantly turned crimson!
Immediately after.
The fire poison spread throughout his body.
Flesh, bones, internal organs...
His consciousness gradually blurred.
But Gu Han gritted his teeth, desperately holding onto the last sliver of clarity in his mind, wielding his sword with his left hand, continuously slashing at the small snake's body!
Clang!
Clang!
...
Sparks flew, and the small snake writhed in pain, its eyes blazing with ferocity, injecting even more fire poison into Gu Han's body!
Soon.
The fire poison spread into his Meridians.
And it was at this moment.
An anomaly suddenly occurred!
Not only were the newly formed Meridians not corroded, but the tiny silver specks adorning them suddenly lit up, transforming into imperceptible small whirlpools, which actually continuously drew in the fire poison within his body!
Under the filtration of the whirlpools.
Not a single drop of the venom within the fire poison remained, leaving only streams of extremely pure Spiritual Qi, continuously flowing through his Meridians!
In an instant!
Gu Han's cultivation rose at an astonishing speed!
Ning Qi Realm Fifth Layer!
Sixth Layer!
Seventh Layer!
...
Soon, he reached the Ninth Layer, on the verge of breaking through the bottlenecks of various Meridians and smoothly entering the Meridian Opening Realm!
He couldn't break through!
The burning sensation in his body gradually dissipated, and the clarity in Gu Han's eyes grew stronger.
Noticing the anomaly within his body, he instantly made a decision!
Such an opportunity was rare!
Extreme Realm!
Right at this moment!
He didn't bother to ponder the reason for this change. His mind was taut, tightly sealing the bottlenecks in various parts of his Meridians, locking more and more Spiritual Qi within his Meridians!
The small snake's grade was too high, far exceeding Gu Han's.
The fire poison was the condensation of its essence, so the Spiritual Qi it transformed into was naturally immense.
Soon.
Waves of slight swelling pain continuously emanated from his Meridians.
If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't have been able to endure until this point and would have had their Meridians burst by the chaotic Spiritual Qi, exploding to their death. But Gu Han's reconstructed Meridians were incredibly tough and several times wider than an ordinary person's. Although there was some discomfort, it was far from its limit!
Who knows how much time passed.
The small snake had expelled all its fire poison and had long since fallen to the ground, motionless and extremely weak, no longer possessing its previous ferocity and brutality.
And the swelling pain in Gu Han's Meridians also suddenly diminished.
The massive amount of misty Spiritual Qi had now transformed into a trickling stream, quietly flowing within his Meridians.
Liquid Spiritual Qi!
Ning Qi Realm Tenth Layer!
"Hoo..."
Gu Han exhaled softly, slowly stood up, and carefully sensed the changes within his body.
"Is this the Extreme Realm?"
The liquid Spiritual Qi, although only one-fifth the thickness of a thumb, if converted to total volume, was almost five times that of Cultivators in the same realm, and even more than ordinary Meridian Opening Realm Fifth or Sixth Layer Cultivators!
What's more.
His current Spiritual Qi was far purer than before!
"Indeed, it's very strong!"
"Although I'm still only at the Ning Qi Realm cultivation, those Meridian Opening Realm Fifth or Sixth Layer Cultivators are definitely not my opponents!"
"That guy didn't lie to me!"
"This Extreme Realm... isn't very difficult!"
"It's just..."
Looking at the red small snake on the ground, he secretly felt lingering fear.
"Next time, I absolutely cannot be so reckless!"
He thought for a moment and understood the cause and effect.
Although this red small snake was of a high grade, its main attack method was its fire poison. If used against ordinary people, even Tong Qiao Realm experts would absolutely not dare to confront it head-on. However, facing Gu Han's miraculous Meridians, it naturally met its nemesis. It couldn't unleash even one-tenth of its full power, so how could it not be defeated?
It's just that.
If it were another Yao Beast.
He would probably have been torn to shreds by now, and it would have been impossible for him to turn misfortune into a blessing and gain this great fortune.
"Hiss!"
Just as Gu Han was sighing with emotion.
The red small snake seemed to have recovered some strength. It flicked its tongue, its blood-red eyes filled with venom, and it pounced towards Gu Han's face with lightning speed, targeting... Gu Han's eyes!
It just so happened.
It underestimated Gu Han's spiritual sense.
The moment it got up, Gu Han had already reacted!
Whoosh!
He swung his longsword!
The liquid Spiritual Qi in his body instantly surged out, circulating in an abstruse trajectory, and completely entered the sword body!
And the speed of his sword strike.
Was more than twice as fast as before!
This time, he still aimed at the small snake's vital spot!
The small snake was greatly weakened, while Gu Han's cultivation had greatly advanced. With the ebb and flow of their strengths, their speeds were surprisingly evenly matched!
Buzz!
With the continuous support of the Spiritual Qi, a three-inch Sword Qi actually emerged from the missing tip of the longsword!
Hiss!
A soft sound!
Just as the small snake was still half a foot from Gu Han's face, the longsword instantly slashed at its vital spot. The defense here was much weaker than the rest of its body, so the longsword easily cut through it. A spurt of hot blood shot out, and its slender body was instantly cut into two sections, falling to the ground and twitching a few times before becoming still.
"Just now..."
Gu Han looked at the longsword in his hand.
"Was that... Da Yan Sword Qi?"
With a thought, the Spiritual Qi in his body circulated again according to the records in the Great Evolution Sword Scripture. In an instant, the three-inch long Sword Qi reappeared, replacing the missing tip of the longsword!
As his Spiritual Qi continuously surged out.
The Sword Qi also grew longer and longer... until finally, it reached half a foot!
At this point.
His internal Spiritual Qi had diminished by a full fifth!
Whoosh!
He flicked his longsword, and the Sword Qi instantly shot out, transforming into a Sword Qi, slashing towards a large grayish-green boulder not far away!
Without any hindrance, the Sword Qi flashed past, directly entering the distant mountain wall, leaving a tiny, unfathomably deep hole!
A moment later.
The large boulder suddenly split into two halves and rolled to the side!
The cut was like a mirror, incredibly smooth!
"Indestructible!"
"Nothing can stop it!"
Gu Han took a deep breath, tightly gripping the longsword in his hand.
"This Great Evolution Sword Scripture is indeed powerful!"
"It's just that even with my Ning Qi Realm Tenth Layer Extreme Realm, I can only barely Cultivate one Sword Qi. I truly don't know what it would be like to Cultivate forty-nine of them!"
He collected his thoughts.
He put the small snake's corpse into his Storage Pouch and then walked towards the small tree.
With this spirit fruit...
His cultivation would surely be greatly improved!
And with every inch his cultivation advanced, the closer he got to the moment of revenge...
The closer it would be!
"Young Master, run... Wuwu!"
Suddenly!
A cry of alarm came from afar!
"Oh no!"
Gu Han naturally recognized that it was A Sha's voice!
He didn't bother to pick the spirit fruit. The Spiritual Qi in his body surged out, and his steps were like wind, continuously rushing towards the source of the sound!
In a moment.
He arrived at the dense forest!
There...
Stood a middle-aged man, his large hand tightly covering A Sha's mouth, preventing her from speaking.
It was Commander Gu, who had been chasing them all along!
