"The creature's physical strength is still lacking. If only it had produced a single scale, I could have easily killed it!"

But, unfortunately, the world is devoid of 'ifs'.

The Blue Flame Heavenly Crystal Snake recovered, raising its head to emit an angry roar before launching another ferocious attack.

"I have to hit its vital point!"

Qin Feng gritted his teeth and fervently channeled the Primordial True Dragon Technique, greatly easing the pain that wracked his body.

"Swoosh!"

He deployed the Phantom Steps once more, becoming an afterimage as he initiated an attack.

"Whoosh!"

The snake's tail swept across, aiming directly at Qin Feng!

"Groundbreaking Fist!"

In an instant, Qin Feng pushed off the ground with tremendous force, his body swiftly soaring into the air.

He punched again, this time accurately hitting the Blue Flame Heavenly Crystal Snake's crucial seven-inch mark.

"Hiss..."

The snake writhed in pain as its vulnerable spot was hit again, wildly shrieking and spraying venom.

Spectators could barely discern the bloody hole in the snake's seven-inch mark.

With a mournful cry, the Blue Flame Heavenly Crystal Snake looked at Qin Feng with a hint of fear in its eyes and frantically tried to escape.

"That was too close!"

Qin Feng exhaled heavily, his whole body drenched in sweat. Fortunately, the Blue Flame Heavenly Crystal Snake had a fatal weakness; otherwise, he would have been in grave danger.

After all, he was just a Body Tempering level 6 Fighter, far from the power of a True Spirit Stage Vicious Beast.

Suddenly, before Qin Feng could recover, a resounding, fierce shout filled the air.

"Be destroyed!"

Boom!

In that moment, Sword-light filled the sky, darting about like dragons and serpents.

Within moments, the escaping Blue Flame Heavenly Crystal Snake was brutally torn to pieces, its flesh scattered in numerous fragments.

Following this, a group of five appeared.

At the forefront was a young man in his twenties, holding a green, serpent-shaped longsword. His eyes were cold, his face as icy as his demeanor, and the snake-shaped mark on his forehead gave off a malevolent aura.

The rest, in their forties, stood behind the young man, appearing as his attendants. They exuded strong zhenqi, a testament to their exceptional abilities.

"Someone else is here? Eliminate him. We cannot allow any outsiders to learn of my fortune!"

The youth caught sight of Qin Feng, his expression shifting from surprise to a narrowed gaze filled with lethal intent.

"Understood!"

The two followers behind him answered in unison. They sprang into action, lunging toward Qin Feng.

"These must be members of the Celestial Snake Palace!"

Qin Feng recognized the mark on their foreheads and, without hesitation, turned to flee...

The Celestial Snake Palace, a powerful sect with a history spanning thousands of years, had a longstanding grudge against Qin Feng's master from his previous life.

Infamous for its brutal and merciless conduct, the Celestial Snake Palace was a sect of ill repute, with many desiring its downfall.

"The sword in that young man's grip, its Sword-light brilliant and imposing, is likely the Celestial Snake Palace's esteemed Heavenly Serpent Sword."

That thought triggered a memory...

In his former life, a remarkable figure emerged from the Celestial Snake Palace, a prodigy named Lin Kai.

Gifted beyond measure, Lin Kai had reached the True Spirit Stage early in life, his power rapidly increasing as he encountered one fortuitous event after another, eventually becoming a formidable individual.

It was said that Lin Kai's extraordinary abilities stemmed from a strand of rare Dragon Qi he obtained at the age of twenty.

From that moment, he shed his serpentine form and soared to the skies like a dragon!

"This has to be Lin Kai, the Young Lord of the Celestial Snake Palace," Qin Feng surmised.

"If my guess is right, Lin Kai must know where that Dragon Qi is located. I need to stay on his trail."

"Where do you think you're going, kid?!"

Qin Feng's thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a menacing voice from behind, sending a cold shudder through him.
