Chapter 51: Thunder Scale Demon Python
“If they catch up to me, I’ll be dead for sure! I can’t think about anything else now!”
Tan Yun thought to himself, his entire body surrounded by spiritual power as he swiftly swam toward the bottom of the pool, which he did not know how many tens of thousands of feet deep it was.
He was clear that to escape the pursuit, he could only go to the bottom of the pool where first stage tribulation demon beasts were lurking. Although fraught with danger, it was also a natural barrier for him to evade his pursuers!
In the next half day, Tan Yun had already delved into the pool water for three hundred thousand feet along the mountain body that jutted into the Cold Pool, equivalent to a depth of eighteen hundred miles!
During this time, Tan Yun continuously released an aura comparable to the great perfection of spirit embryo realm, enveloping an area of eleven miles in the water. Countless first stage newborn, growth stage, and adult demon beasts sensed Tan Yun’s aura and fled in terror.
As he progressed, Tan Yun encountered no obstacles!
In this half day, Tan Yun had shaken off 32 enemies at the ninth level of spirit embryo realm, but he could never escape the spiritual sense locking of 79 enemies at the great perfection of spirit embryo realm.
“Damn it! At this rate, I’ll be caught sooner or later!” Tan Yun sensed through his spiritual sense that the 79 disciples at the great perfection of spirit embryo realm were just above him in a six-mile water area. His expression grew serious, and for a moment, he was at a loss for what to do!
At that moment, suddenly, a strong sense of crisis enveloped Tan Yun's heart, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet, invading his heart!
Tan Yun clearly sensed a powerful demon beast aura surging from the mountain behind him, locking onto him!
Judging from the aura, it must be a first stage tribulation demon beast targeting him. This demon beast was hiding in the jagged caves of the mountain behind him!
Tan Yun did not flee immediately!
It wasn't that he didn't want to escape, but that he didn't dare!
No matter how fast he swam in the water, he could not outrun a water demon beast at the first stage of tribulation!
He could only wait and see, and until he figured out what kind of demon beast it was, he must not act rashly to avoid provoking the demon beast hidden within the mountain.
Tan Yun’s heartbeat gradually intensified as he remained motionless, suspended in the water, as if every second was a year.
After a moment, Tan Yun's mood turned irritable. The 79 enemies at the great perfection of spirit embryo realm had appeared just five hundred feet above him and were about to come for him!
“Hahaha, Tan Yun, why aren’t you escaping, you worthless piece of trash? Are you out of spiritual power and can’t swim anymore?”
Chen Renqing sneered as he dove straight down toward Tan Yun. “Tan Yun, don’t blame me for killing you; blame yourself for overestimating your abilities and offending Senior Brother Linghu!”
“Whoosh…”
Just ten feet above Chen Renqing, Peng Zhang desperately urged the spiritual power within him and shot down toward Tan Yun, wanting to kill him before Chen Renqing could.
“Swish, swish, swish…”
Fifty subordinates of Chen Renqing at the great perfection of spirit embryo realm, holding swords in their right hands, followed him toward Tan Yun.
On the other side, Song Guang, Li Yi, and another twenty-seven disciples at the great perfection of spirit embryo realm tailed behind Peng Zhang!
Both sides were determined to kill Tan Yun first!
“Whether I fall into the hands of the enemies or the mouth of the demon beast behind me, it's all death. Damn it, I can only run for my life!”
Just as Tan Yun was about to flee, “Boom!” A massive roar erupted from behind him.
Tan Yun looked back, his face instantly turning pale, his heart racing to his throat!
In his line of sight was a giant python, about ten feet thick and a hundred feet long, covered entirely in black scales. It smashed through a boulder and charged out of the mountain cave, swimming fiercely over Tan Yun's head and speeding toward the waters above where Chen Renqing was!
