Chapter 737: Martial Lord

Duck Emperor was scared out of its wits. If the giant python found out that it was the one singing, it would be eaten and digested into feces, defecated, and turned into fertilizer for the plants. In desperation, it was beyond regarding whether the giant python would doubt its words. It pointed at Xiao Luo and said, “It’s not me—it’s him. That guy was singing just now!”

How could this be...

The six Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples felt that Duck Emperor was disloyal. He was the one who was singing, yet he insisted on framing Xiao Luo. It failed to assume responsibility and had no sense of shame at all. It was completely without decency and justice.

“So it was sung by you, son of a b*tch!” the python yelled.

The giant python moved its huge body and looked down at Xiao Luo with its red eyes.

Xiao Luo stood up and was about to deny Duck Emperor’s claim.

At this moment, Zuo Xiangming ran toward Xiao Luo, taking the blame. “No, I was the person who was singing. Lord Beast Demon, I sang it. It wasn’t him.”

As he spoke, he kept giving Xiao Luo meaningful looks, telling him to leave quickly.

When Zuo Xiangming’s five junior brothers and sisters saw this, they shivered in fear, and all ran back.

“It’s none of my senior brother’s business. I sang it! I sang it!”

“Lord Beast Demon, I was the one who sang it. If you want to punish someone, punish me. Let them go.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know that you were concentrating on breaking through. I never expected that my singing disturbed your meditation. I deserve to die. If Lord Beast Demon wants to punish me, please punish me.”

The five disciples pleaded with the giant python, each claiming it was their fault. They didn’t want to see their fellow disciples killed by the giant python, so they would rather sacrifice themselves.

Duck Emperor’s face blushed in shame. Its behavior contrasted sharply with those of the Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples. It was a cowardly creature who would rather put the blame on innocent people than face the consequences of its actions.

“You are f*cking noisy!”

The giant python was already very angry. When it heard that the six disciples were taking the blame, its intent to kill heightened. It opened its huge mouth and spat out a large flame.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The raging flames swept toward the six of them at once. The flames were so hot that even steel would melt.

The Ziyue Cave Heaven people opened their eyes wide, unable to move for a moment. In the end, they could only despair and wait for death to arrive. However, even after waiting for a long time, they did not feel the flames touching their skin. They opened their eyes to take a peek. They saw a mysterious figure standing in front of them.

“Brother Xiao?”

Zuo Xiangming was amazed. There was an invisible barrier formed around Xiao Luo, blocking all the flames. The reason they were still alive was that Xiao Luo had protected them.

All of them were astonished. One had to know that these were flames spat out by a beast demon. However, such terrifying flames were actually blocked by Xiao Luo. How was this possible? It couldn’t be!

The python was also extremely surprised that Xiao Luo was not afraid of its flames. After spitting for a while, it stopped and stared at Xiao Luo with its blood-red eyes. “Human brat, what kind of technique is this?”

“There’s no cultivation technique,” Xiao Luo answered. “You’re a beast demon, so I’ll call you Venerable Sir for the time being. I apologize for interfering with your breakthrough just now. It’s our fault, but it doesn’t deserve death. Don’t you agree?” Xiao Luo told the giant python calmly with his hands behind his back.

“It doesn’t deserve death?” When the python heard this, it snorted coldly. “As a cultivator, you should know very well that the opportunity to break through is fleeting. I had a hard time achieving breakthroughs. I was almost there when I heard the terrible and high-pitched singing of you, f*cking b*stard! Today, none of you will be able to leave alive. I will swallow all of you!”

Xiao Luo shook his head helplessly. “You should have lived for more than a thousand years. I sincerely sympathize with you for wasting an opportunity to break through. But, from my point of view, if you want to harm my life, then you have to be prepared to be killed by me,” Xiao Luo warned.

“Killed by you?”

The giant python was stunned for a moment before it burst into laughter. “How could a mere Martial Lord cultivator dare to boast in front of me!”

Xiao Luo responded calmly, “Cultivation is not easy for you, so I hope you can cherish it. If you don’t, I can only apologize.”

“What an arrogant human boy! I want to see just how strong you are!”

The python was unable to restrain its anger. It opened its bloody mouth and welcomed Xiao Luo from a high place. With a loud boom, the ground shook, and sand was everywhere. It caused a huge hole in the ground, and half of its tongue was inside the pit.

The moment it attacked, Xiao Luo moved like lightning and dodged its bloody mouth. He left an afterimage on the spot and leaped high, striking the python’s body with his palm.

The python could not bear the immense pain, and its upright body fell to the ground. Its blood-red eyes were filled with an ominous glint.

Whoosh!

A violent gust of wind rose from the ground, and a huge snake tail whipped toward Xiao Luo.

This tail whip was truly a sweeping attack on the battlefield. Amidst the loud rumbling sounds, rocks scattered, and debris covered the sky. The rows of towering trees fell. The terrifying might caused the disciples of Ziyue Cave Heaven and Duck Emperor to retreat.

Xiao Luo crossed his arms and collided head-on with the giant python’s tail.

Bang!

There was a dull explosion, and Xiao Luo’s entire body was sent flying into the air. However, he quickly came to a stop and stayed high up in the air.

Martial...Martial Lord?

The Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples’ were in shock at what they had witnessed.

“Senior Brother, he...he’s actually a Martial Lord!”

“My goodness! How...how is this possible?”

“Our master is only at the intermediate level of Martial Emperor Realm. He’s only a few years older than us, yet he has already reached the Martial Lord Realm!”

The disciples trembled uncontrollably and could not even speak properly. To be able to stay in the air was obviously the ability that only those who had reached the Martial King realm had. Although the Arcana Land was vast and boundless, the higher the realm, the fewer cultivators could reach, which was reduced in the form of a pyramid. Those who had reached the Martial Lord realm were already among the experts in this world.

Zuo Xiangming was so shocked that he could not say anything.

The giant python was also very surprised. It raised its head and looked at Xiao Luo. “Human brat, you’ve actually reached the Martial Lord realm!”

“I’m not very clear about the division of strength on your side, and I don’t wish to clarify either. If you don’t want your thousand-year cultivation to be destroyed in an instant, leave now. I won’t pursue this matter,” Xiao Luo warned as he stood in the air with his hair fluttering in the wind.

The giant python sneered, “Although your strength has exceeded my expectations, you’re just a mere Martial Lord,” it berated Xiao Luo. “I really don’t know what right you have to be so arrogant.”

It really did not take Xiao Luo seriously. Only a Martial Guru Realm human could be comparable to combat to it. A Martial Lord would not pose any threat to it.

“If you don’t listen to my kind advice, then you can’t blame me.” Xiao Luo’s gaze turned cold.

“I’ll swallow you, you brainless b*stard!”

With a roar, the giant python’s body, which was over a hundred feet long, rose from the ground. It opened its bloody mouth, emitting a fishy stench, and rushed high into the sky, swallowing Xiao Luo in an instant.
