Violet and Fight 1.21

*Hiss!!!*

Several red-eyed snakes rose from the lake, their eyes strained, fangs sharp as they took in the view of their intruders.

Bai Yu shivered a bit facing those angry eyes, yet he stood firm. Backing down now will only give these monsters the incentive to attack them. Bai Yu was in top condition, but Xiao Tian was not. The previous python having done a number on him.

Bai Yu quickly asked the protagonist beside him, "Any idea, how to survive?"

Of course, Bai Yu was asking if Xiao Tian had some trump card for the scenario. The protagonist usually has some trump card, and now seems to be the right time to use it.

Xiao Tian closed his eyes for a moment. Several thoughts ran through his mind. But in face of the impending doom, he resolved himself as he asked the unknown disciple in front of him. "Stall them for a minute. I have a technique to finish all of them in a single move but it takes a while to charge."

It might sound ridiculous to any other cultivator. A second-stage Qi cultivator possessing a technique that could cross several stages, capable of finishing a mature Red python. But Bai Yu was not anyone. He was a transmigrator, having full knowledge of the ludicrous abilities of these protagonists.

Bai Yu let out a soft sigh, then a gleam of light passed into his eyes. He then ordered, "Make it quick."

Bai Yu tapped his bag of holding, a very simple green leaf appearing in his palm. It was the Leaves of Healing, possessing a secondary feature of enhancing concentration.

Bai Yu quickly put it in his mouth, ready to swallow it the moment he got a fatal injury. He brandished his silver sword as he got ready for the final confrontation.

Xiao Tian seeing the posture of Bai Yu knew he had agreed. He didn't care much about the leaf that Bai Yu had put in his mouth as there were several battle enhancement materials present in the cultivation world. Rather he was relieved that, Bai Yu would help him instead of escaping. It was a kind gesture that he rarely had the opportunity to witness.

So, Xiao Tian calmed his breathing, trying to condense all the energy he had acquired from the [Star Fruit], into fueling his flames.

Bai Yu quickly launched himself toward the snakes, taking advantage of their disorientation from his quick moments. He quickly launched a water surface slash to attack as many of them as possible, disabling, and even killing a decent amount. But unfortunately...this didn't last forever. The snakes were soon able to regroup.

And they were angry.

"Screech!" The Mature red Python roared a loud, disturbing the flow of the lake. It launched itself toward Bai Yu who quickly dodged to the left, finding other Red Pythons in his path.

The world seemed to slow down at this moment, as Bai Yu could see the minute details of the pythons from the rage-filled eyes to the scales that grew on their body.

He shifted his sword stance from first to third with the grace that comes from thousands of hours of practice.

As if threading a needle, Bai Yu dodged the onslaught of the various lower-ranked Red Python. His movements were graceful to boot, his sword never stopping as it sliced several Red Python as if they were still targets.

In the end, not only did he escape, but Bai Yu was also able to clear a large number of monsters.

"Screech!"The numerous low-leveled python screamed as they flailed around and ultimately stopped.

The Red Python seemed to get even angrier as it came charging like a bullet, its speed astonishingly fast. Its large frame did nothing to prevent it from ever reaching this wondrous speed, its large body sped toward Bai Yu.

The moment before it arrived, Bai Yu again jumped, dodging its lunging attack with very high spatial awareness. But before he can rejoice, another large red python seemingly appeared out of nowhere, trying to eat him in this moment of airborne.

A second fifth-stage red python would have surprised many and would have evidently led to a game over. But Bai Yu was not surprised, rather he was expecting this hidden snake from showing its fangs.

"Perfect timing, Dumbass. You are the final piece to close this show." Bai Yu said as he maneuvered airborne, and dropped something in the lake.

[First Tier Talisman: Thunder Wave]

"Screech!!!!" Both the mature and the almost mature Red Python roared in pain as their movements were paralyzed.

"Water conducts electricity. It's basic Science." Bai Yu says as he quickly dodges the final move from the protagonist.

Xiao Tian had been waiting for this moment, the moment when all the Red Python were unable to move and gathered in a single place. And now, was the time to close the curtain on this performance.

Xiao Tain willed his Heaven and Earth Flame to gather in his plan as he launched his strongest attack.

[Heaven Burning Flame]

*Boom* *Boom*

A huge explosion sounded throughout the lake, some parts of the lake even directly evaporated due to the heat. Soon, the smoke cleared, showing the horrendous condition of the several Red pythons.

"Heh." Looking at the destruction caused by the Abnormal flames, Bai Yu now knows the culprit for the destruction of the cave.

-*-*-*-*-*-

"I think it's finally over," Xiao Tian said, watching as the gigantic python crumbled to the ground. He fell down from exhaustion, the fight taking its toll on him.

Xiao Tian looked on confusedly as Bai Yu did not say anything and walked slowly towards the corpse. "What are you doing?" he asked.

"Just double tapping," Bai Yu replied off-handedly. He glanced at the charred corpse of the mature red python. Its body severely damaged, with most of its scales torn off.

Without saying a word, he brandished his sword, ready to double tap. Suddenly, his instincts went haywire, and without missing a beat, he sidestepped as the supposedly dead Red Python lunged at him, managing to dodge in time.

Screech!

The Red Python let out a shrill and strained cry, its eyes burning with rage and hatred. Its wounds also began to close at an alarming rate.

"Berserk state! Dammit!" Bai Yu cursed.

Berserk state. An extremely rare state where monsters push past their limits and get even stronger. In the game, it was the second state of boss monsters, and they received an all-around buff.

But this was not a video game, so why did it suddenly enter the second mode in the fight? Wait, this world is based on a game...

"Chocolate chips! Vanilla Cookie! Fudge!" Bai Yu cursed once again as he watched the powered-up snake starting to rush at him with speed unfitting of its size.

[Shadowless Movement Art!]

He quickly dodged the incoming headbutt, but it followed him throughout the lake. He swung his sword and launched several attacks, but the more he hit it, the more rage-filled it got. It still rushed towards him and finally cornered him towards another group of pythons.

The scarlet pupil of the Red Python shone with rage as it opened and lunged at him as fast as lightning.

"Dodge!" Xiao Tian shouted in this situation, clearly too fatigued to launch another attack.

In this dangerous situation, Bai Yu urged insight and movement art to the extreme.

The entwined perception of the snake's movement flashed in his mind as he urged shadowless movement art to the extreme.

As if the world suddenly stopped, he felt a mysterious force on his body. The previous shackles broke, and he vanished without a single trace of the shadow, appearing behind the Red python and gathering each drop of his Qi into his sword.

[Thirteen Sword Wave: Final Form, Dead Calm!]

The long sword flicked a sharp electric light sword qi in mid-air, which tore through the air and passed through the neck of the berserk python, who hadn't recovered from the situation yet.

The stream of hot blood spilled all over the sky and dyed the surrounding water red.

"Huhuhu." Bai Yu breathed heavily as he popped a Qi-replenishing pill into his mouth.
