Chapter 40 (1/2)

Unaware of everything that was happening outside, Fang Xing could only feel his body enclosed within a space of cramped darkness

It was fortunate that—despite the Python Toad being covered in toxins on the outside—its inner parts were coland attached at the top of its upper jaw that it used to release the green fuht at the entrance of its throat and was unaffected Furthermore, in order for the toad to use its suction skill, it first had to release all of the fumes in advance, which was exactly what had happened; even if the gland were to be daed now, the small amount of fumes that remained within it would not be lethal

The only thing the toad could do noas to rely on its own instincts and squir into its stomach

As the pressure surrounding Fang Xing increased, he began to grow ier that was nailed into the toad's throat with his right hand, with great effort and pain he thenin his hair

”Nine Snakes' Sword, out!” With an agonized screa Xing co within reach

In the world outside, Hou Qing was visibly in an appalling state, as he had put his life on the line for this tiny chance of coainst the maddened toad

By consu the secondary Demon Pellet, his Qi had been forcibly filled to its maximum, but it was still only one chance in a thousand for success since the toad had gone crazy Throwing everything he had at the toad, he stood atop his Flying Shile flying fro was like a vicious bee that would continuously send sharp jabs at its weakest points

At this time, the toad seean to sinoring so while broken trees and rock shards could be seen flying in all directions within the entirety of the forest Even in its nificant daue, his left leg had been splashed by toxic liquid, and his chest had received a savage headbutt that had broken at least three rib bones

Most i used up completely

Of course, despite Hou Qing's current state, his own accomplishments were also rather evident: one of the toad's eyes had been stabbed blind, and its belly—where the tough scaled armor was absent—had been al's repeated cuts with the Flying Sword, soround

The toad gave a sudden leap out of nowhere All four of its liht could be seen fro watched on in horror

'Even in such a state, the toad still has a special ability it hasn't used?' Unable to co by forcibly activating his Qi

With only a few steps, the toad had taken a heavy fall back down to the ground, its mouth half open and its body laid flat After a few sether

”It's… dead?” Hou Qing exclai in his footsteps ”I… killed a fourth-tier Python Toad all bycould not help but feel a sense of accoher tier than yourself, by yourself, would be considered a great achieveht be numerous disciples within the sect that could easily kill a fourth-tier Python Toad, there would not bethird tier themselves

”Even the Gods are on , become an inner court disciple, I shall offer the heavenstook a few deep breaths as he looked up towards the heavens Then, he moved towards the toad to harvest its corpse

At this round, its htly as its fishy intestines, mincemeat, and dirty blood rushed out into the open Within the nificant of the—crouched in stillness There were no signs of life, as though the child had been dead for quite some time

Seeing this, Hou Qing laughed coldly as he thought to hi you were, you've still ended up being a toad's meal'

As Hou Qing dragged his broken leg for a closer look, however, he suddenly ree after it had sed the kid… could it have been hi to admit to the possibility that it may have actually been someone else to deliver the critical blow to the Python Toad, yet he was still level-headed and continued to analyze everything 'He ht look like he's dead, but… it's him I'd best be careful…'

Using the last of his re Sword towards the motionless boy

Just as the sword closed in, the see ”Aren't you ss easily, do you?”

As Fang Xing spoke, a golden sword flew out behind hiers stretched outward The sword looked as though it had been lit by flaold while nine solden sword pushed Hou Qing's oord away, Fang Xing took the opportunity for a wild dash in the opposite direction

”Eh?” Fang Xing had only dashed soh recalling so

Hou Qing was about to go for a second attack since his first attack had been blocked before he was slightly startled Having Fang Xing stop and turn around was also beyond his expectations

Especially now that Fang Xing looked almost too excited
