Chapter 1462: Fan Kang’s Betrayal
Translator: CinderTL
Wang Qiuyue and Fan Kang soared skyward, reaching an altitude of ten thousand zhang in the blink of an eye.
Trailing behind them were five venomous pythons, one leading the charge with four others in pursuit.
Wang Qiuyue’s dragon head suddenly froze mid-ascent, her eyes flashing with icy resolve. She plunged downward like a razor-sharp arrow, aiming directly for the lead python.
"You beasts! You may have reigned supreme in the depths, but dare you show your fangs above the abyss?" she roared, closing the distance with the lead python in a flash.
Her razor-sharp claws, curved like hooks, slashed toward the python’s eyes.
The python hissed, spewing a jet of dark green venomous energy toward Wang Qiuyue’s dragon head.
"ROAR—!"
A thunderous roar erupted from the dragon’s maw, coalescing into visible rings of pale golden sound waves. These tangible ripples surged outward, colliding with the venomous energy.
The sound waves violently shook and twisted the surrounding space, causing it to warp and distort.
Before this sonic onslaught, the venomous energy shattered like fragile glass, disintegrating into wisps of green smoke that vanished into nothingness.
Undeterred, Wang Qiuyue rode the momentum of her sonic assault, tearing through the air and closing in on the python.
The python’s massive pupils contracted to slits, reflecting Wang Qiuyue’s rapidly approaching form. It seemed utterly unprepared for its venomous energy to be so easily neutralized.
The venomous python swiftly twisted its body, whipping its tail in an attempt to shield its eyes—its fatal weakness—from Wang Qiuyue’s claws. With the force of ten thousand jun, its massive tail tore through the air, sweeping relentlessly toward her.
But it was too late.
Wang Qiuyue’s ferocious dragon claws, imbued with overwhelming power and a razor-sharp golden radiance, struck with unerring precision.
Thud!
A muffled impact echoed, followed by—
A piercing, agonized hiss erupted from the venomous python’s maw.
The instant Wang Qiuyue’s claws descended, the python squeezed its eyes shut. But the fragile scales on its eyelids proved no match for the dragon’s strike.
The scales shattered, and the python’s eyes exploded.
Foul-smelling crimson blood splattered through the air.
The dragon claws plunged deep into the python’s eye sockets, utterly crushing its malevolent eyes.
A surge of lethal energy coursed through the claws, poised to penetrate the python’s massive skull and obliterate its brain and demon core.
Just then, four more venomous pythons lunged forward, each spitting a venomous dart at Wang Qiuyue in a desperate attempt to force her to retreat.
"Mystic Abyss Dragon Scale!"
Wang Qiuyue showed no sign of backing down, uttering a cold command.
The voice, emanating from the dragon’s maw, was deep, resonant, and majestic, its reverberating tones carrying the weight of a True Dragon’s wrath.
In an instant, a brilliant azure light erupted around Wang Qiuyue.
A translucent, water-blue scaled shield materialized behind her, offering impenetrable protection.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four venomous arrows struck the scaled shield almost simultaneously.
The shield erupted in a brilliant azure light, rippling briefly before completely neutralizing the arrows.
However, the arrows clung to the shield like leeches, transforming into four pools of eerie green Corrosive Poison Liquid that adhered tightly to its surface.
Wherever the liquid touched, the shield blackened, the darkness spreading rapidly outward.
Watching the four expanding black circles on the shield, Wang Qiuyue’s gaze turned as cold as a blade, her claws radiating razor-sharp energy.
Boom!
The venomous python whose eyes she had pierced exploded, its massive head shattering into fragments.
Crimson blood splattered across her scales, staining them a deep scarlet.
The late-seventh-tier Toxic Flood Dragon had met its end.
Its demon core shattered, its soul scattering and spirit vanishing.
High above, ten thousand feet in the air, Fan Kang hovered, observing Wang Qiuyue’s fierce battle with the pythons. A cold smile curled his lips.
His fingers glowed with spiritual light as he traced intricate patterns in the air, weaving a continuous stream of magic seals. From the moment Wang Qiuyue engaged the pythons, his hands had never ceased their movements, clearly executing an extremely complex method.
"Rise!"
As Fan Kang uttered the word, the deathly still water below erupted violently.
A circular, transparent water curtain shot skyward.
The curtain, a thousand miles in diameter, surged upward with lightning speed, reaching thousands of feet into the air in an instant.
Immediately afterward, the top of the water curtain rapidly converged toward the center, forming a hemispherical transparent barrier that enveloped Wang Qiuyue and the four venomous pythons.
Inside the barrier, the lone woman and four pythons were all caught off guard by this sudden transformation.
The venomous pythons were the first to react. Instinctively sensing danger, they abandoned their assault on Wang Qiuyue and frantically twisted their massive bodies, turning to charge toward the water’s surface below.
The once-pliant water had now become as solid as divine iron.
When the four pythons slammed into the surface, four thunderous roars echoed like the tolling of colossal bells.
Despite their unparalleled physical strength and the force of their charge, which was akin to a mountain collapsing, the impact proved devastating.
The scales on their heads shattered, and the cracking of bones echoed through the air. Crimson blood erupted like spilled ink, staining the water’s surface with vast patches of crimson.
The immense recoil left the pythons dazed and disoriented, their massive bodies flung back dozens of meters.
Meanwhile, Wang Qiuyue raised her dragon head, her cold gaze piercing through the transparent barrier to lock onto Fan Kang.
"Elder Fan, your methods are truly remarkable. You managed to deploy this ’Weak Water Sky-Imprisoning Barrier’ so silently that even I failed to notice it."
High above, Fan Kang gazed down at Wang Qiuyue and the four disoriented venomous pythons. The cold smile on his lips deepened, as if... everything were perfectly under his control.
"While we were underwater, this elder secretly released the Riverless Weak Water. Elder Wang was so focused on battling the pythons that she naturally didn’t notice," Fan Kang said with a smug smile.
A flicker of coldness flashed in Wang Qiuyue’s eyes.
The fact that Fan Kang had released the Weak Water underwater without her noticing could only mean one thing: he had used some method to deliberately conceal its presence.
Clearly, Fan Kang had intentionally prevented her from detecting the Weak Water.
"The Weak Water Sky-Imprisoning Barrier is complete, and the pythons are trapped like turtles in a jar, unable to escape your grasp. Elder Fan, shouldn’t you... release me now?"
"Heh!"
Fan Kang chuckled softly, his tone dripping with undisguised contempt.
"Elder Wang, why the rush? Though these four beasts are trapped, they haven’t been dealt with yet. Why doesn’t Elder Wang personally slay them? Once that’s done, this elder will naturally dispel the Weak Water Sky-Imprisoning Barrier."
