SWOOSH

Hou Qing's figure was like that of lightning as he dodged the second attack froue slah the trunk, and when the tongue flew back into its mouth, the tree fell aust of leaves

In thisthe force fro tree, he landed on the Python Toad's back

TCHHHN

With a quick ed his sword doards towards the back of the toad The movement was followed by a loud metallic noise, and fiery sparks could even be seen as the sword touched the toad's skin This [Qin'fen Sword] had been treasured by Hou Qing since his days before the Qing-Yun Sect, yet noas split in half

Before any feelings of heartache could show, the Python Toad unexpectedly shook his enormous body as splashes of toxic liquid oozed fro quickly to the change—jumped and hopped around to narrowly avoid the venomous fluid Despite his efforts, a se of his robe, i acid

One of the best ed with just a single contact of this liquid

As the poison splashed around, trees withered, rocks melted, and the land within forty yards of the toad turned into a flatland of toxic liquid Even Fang Xing had almost been affected as he quickly jumped and hid behind the tree he was on Once it had beco stench and the tree he had hidden behind had close to ten inches of its bark dissolved away from the toxins

Still in the air, Hou Qing saw that no matter where he landed, he would inevitably step on the toxic substance With a clear whistle, he placed his left foot atop his right before leaping another few feet higher just as a silver Flying Sword appeared beneath his feet With a sweep of his sleeve, a deep red sword transformed itself into a ray of flame and was launched towards the back of the toad In less than a full second, the skin of the toad curled up along both sides of the sword mark

'Looks like Flying Swords can still do sohtly relieved, he knew that this was no time to make any careless mistakes Besides, such a small wound would have not made an impact on the beast

In hisXing still loitering around watching the entire scene with excite gritting his teeth with hatred and conteht that moment if it weren't for the toad Under the beast's continuous attacks, it was hard to escape uninjured, let alone if he were to be distracted by the boy

'No, I have to leave now or this toad will kill ardless of how heated the situation may be, and he knew this was not the time to act in a fit of pique The Python Toad was a tier four beast and its skills were also extre a third-tiered cultivator like him could handle alone

Hou Qing's Flying Sword could only last hi in the air Once he had exhausted his Qi, he would fall into either the pool of toxic liquid or the stomach of the beast; either way, the end result would be the same

As Hou Qing continued to think of an escape plan, his upper body spared no ti the deep red sword to continuously slash and stab the body of the toad Even though these wounds would not be life-threatening to the beast, it did send it into a chaotic frenzy and caused it to release deep howls of discos as his sword bought him time, and in no time he had already found himself a path of escape

At this precise moment, the toad let out a low-pitched howl and opened its reen in color and was ai like a sharp arrow

Shocked, Hou Qing dodged to the side with his Flying Sword to flee the attack The poison did not stop just there, however The toad was in fact spewing an endless torrent of this fu felt a sense of curiosity that was quickly covered up by a sense of danger

Soht

”SHT!” Hou Qing involuntarily let out a cry, i his deep red sword so that he could run away as quickly as possible

But it was too late

As the toad spat out the last re its enormous mouth

HUUUUUUFF

A tornado-like gust could be seen whirling within the Python Toad's mouth that was akin to a black hole Any branches and stone shards that remained had been sucked in at its first inhalation, and within its ue whipped every last one of these back out

It was drawing in breath with a specific target, and that target was none other than Hou Qing who had been flying in the air
