The gore-soaked head of the two-headed python was flung skyward from one of its necks, foul-smelling blood spattering everywhere. Mobile reading easily: $\alpha$.

Organized The girls in red and green, just preparing to retreat, froze as they witnessed the sudden change occurring within the green toxic mist ahead. The two-headed python was not only lethally venomous, but its twin heads were also incredibly agile.

Furthermore, its entire hide was exceptionally tough; ordinary swords could not harm it in the slightest. The girls in red and green, having fought to no avail just now, realized their weapons posed no real threat to the beast.

The girl in red wielded a short sword, sharp though it was, it was no divine weapon. The girl in green’s twin silver whips were even less capable of inflicting serious damage.

Thus, they could only continue evading. Thwack!

Another sound of spraying blood rang out. The python's other head launched into the air from the faint green haze, then landed heavily with a thud.

Lacking both heads, the python's elongated body twitched weakly before collapsing inertly. Blood poured ceaselessly from the severed necks, mixing with the blood from the figures wearing black, wide-brimmed hats below.

Within the green toxic fog, Ji Changkong, his face skillfully disguised to appear ugly, suddenly materialized. The expressions of the girls in red and green flickered, and they instinctively stepped back a pace, watching him with wariness.

The two-headed python had trusted its poisonous mist too much, allowing Ji Changkong to approach suddenly. Utilizing a divine weapon once wielded by the Bagua Heavenly Scholar, he had effortlessly severed its twin heads.

This had occurred too rapidly and under the cover of the green miasma, so the two girls hadn't seen clearly. In the girls' eyes, this ugly stranger of unknown origin was far more terrifying than the two-headed python.

He was the only living soul left in the temple; if he intended harm, their chances of escape were practically zero.

The girl in red raised her short sword, its fiery crimson glow pulsating.

The girl in green adopted an equally defensive posture, completely forgetting that if Ji Changkong hadn't just saved her, she would likely already have been bitten to death by the python. What do I want?

I only possess the cultivation of the Three Talents Heaven. What can I do?

A bitter smile played in his heart, but Ji Changkong’s face remained stern. "What is that little boy's origin?

You two seem very afraid of him?" "We don't know his origin. That little boy is extremely strange.

At such a young age, he speaks lewdly and is adept at using fierce beasts. Many people in the temple were killed by the beasts he set loose," the girl in green explained, still shaken.

"He’s different from normal children; the way he looks at people is sometimes verylewd/profane, carrying a chilling coldness." A boy of about ten who looks at people with lewdness and cold malice? Ji Changkong was taken aback.

Although he had noticed the boy's peculiar expression upon entering the temple, he hadn't perceived his gaze as lewd or chilling. Frowning, Ji Changkong glanced towards the ruined temple entrance and said gravely, "He hasn't returned immediately!" The girls’ expressions shifted instantly.

They glanced at the corpse of the two-headed python on the floor, exchanged a quick look, and both hurried to say, "Let's go, quickly." Ignoring whether Ji Changkong had registered the urgency in their tone, they left the corpse behind and hastily fled the dilapidated temple. Outside, hailstones raged; leaving at this moment was hardly advisable.

The girls' reaction made Ji Changkong realize just how deeply intimidated they were by that ten-year-old boy. He chose not to leave the temple.

Carrying the small dagger, he began scavenging valuable materials from the two-headed python. Its eyes, teeth, tendons, and bones, while not as precious as the Thousand-Year Purple Gold Toad, were still essential components for refining certain specialized spirit artifacts.

To waste them would be a terrible pity. He worked with extreme speed.

Not long after the two girls had departed, the python was reduced to pieces, and all its worthwhile flesh, sinews, and bones were secured in his Mustard Seed Bag. His expression suddenly contorted!

From a distance, an aura of profound coldness, bloodlust, and profanity suddenly radiated from the approaching little boy. The boy's seemingly innocent aura vanished, and intense Yuan Power fluctuations erupted from his small body, far exceeding Ji Changkong’s initial estimation.

Since entering the temple, relying on his astonishing sensory abilities in the 'Presence of Self' realm, he had estimated the strength of everyone inside. The girls in red and green were at the Four Symbols Heaven realm; the three middle-aged Heavenly Scholars were at the Five Elements Heaven realm; and the coughing youth in grey possessed the cultivation of the [Missing Character] Heaven realm.

As for the little boy, Ji Changkong had assumed he was only at the Three Talents Heaven realm, as there had been no particularly strong Yuan Power fluctuations emanating from him. Baidu Shifang Tianshi Forum Administration Team hand-typed, we hope everyone supports the official release, or strives to vote for Little Ni!] However, just now, as the boy rapidly approached, perhaps sensing the death of his two-headed python, his entire demeanor abruptly changed.

Along with this shift in temperament, the Yuan Power within him, which hadn't seemed very robust before, grew exponentially, increasing at an unbelievable rate. In just a few breaths of time, the depth of the boy's Yuan Power reached the level of a master in the [Missing Character] Heaven realm!

This was terrifying! Ji Changkong broke out in a cold sweat.

He had never expected this boy of merely ten years to be a [Missing Character] Heavenly Scholar. He had heard countless tales of prodigious talents in the Central Lands, yet never of anyone reaching the [Missing Character] Heaven realm before the age of twenty!

And this boy, possessing [Missing Character] Heaven realm cultivation, was barely a decade old? This was utterly staggering; few would believe it if told.

Abandoning any further interest in the python remains, Ji Changkong, with crystal clarity in his mind, suddenly darted out, ignoring the fist-sized hailstones peppering his body. Identifying the direction of the Tianwu Kingdom, he fled swiftly...

Moments after Ji Changkong left, the little boy entered the ruined temple. His small face was etched with rage and bloodlust, and his dark, somber eyes burned with wickedness.

The two-headed python had been cut into several segments; its eyes and teeth had been gouged out. Every valuable part—tendons, bones, hide, venom—was completely gone.

His pet, which had been lively just moments ago, was now nothing more than a pile of mangled flesh. "Those two damned little sluts, I'll f**k you up!" he roared, his small face twisting hideously.

His small hands suddenly shot out, enveloping the temple in endless darkness. With a deafening crash, the dilapidated structure instantly collapsed.

A tiny, ghost-like figure zipped out of the darkness, drifting erratically toward the Tianwu Kingdom. The hailstones tumbling from the heavens shattered into dust before they could reach his body.

"Little brat, still trying to flee?" A shadowy figure in a black, wide-brimmed hat suddenly dropped from a dense, large tree. The killing light of the White Tiger descended, forming a sharp cone, stabbing viciously toward the ghost-like boy.

"You seek death!" Baidu Shifang Tianshi Forum Administration Team hand-typed, we hope everyone supports the official release, or strives to vote for Little Ni!] The boy threw his head back and roared. His small face, which had once seemed innocent and pure, was now horribly distorted, showcasing sheer brutality, bloodlust, and venomous malevolence.

The endless darkness erupted abruptly, swallowing the figure above him whole. Sounds of bone snapping—crack, crack, crack—echoed from within the darkness, punctuated by the sharp, inhuman shriek of agony from the man in the black hat, as if he were witnessing the most terrifying scene imaginable.

The boy seemed not to have even moved, sparing no glance for the struggling figure above. He shot off toward the Tianwu Kingdom in pursuit.

Pat, pat! Pat, pat!

From the depths of the endless darkness, fractured bone fragments and chunks of mangled, bloody flesh rained down from a darkened zone overhead. After a moment, the darkness receded, and a shower of bloody mist mingled with the hail, spattering onto the heap of ruined flesh and bone below...

On a barren peak, the two girls were already descending the slope and running for their lives ahead. As Ji Changkong reached the summit of the bald mountain, he turned back and saw a small figure following closely behind, drifting like a weightless specter.

Focusing his gaze, he confirmed it was the ten-year-old boy he had seen in the temple. The boy wasn't flying outright; occasionally, his small feet would briefly touch blades of grass or small stones for leverage, propelling him forward with an almost complete absence of weight, chasing him rapidly.

"Big Brother, wait for me!" The little boy, from a distance, had reverted to his innocent demeanor, smiling sweetly and cutely. Ji Changkong found nothing remotely endearing about him.

The Yuan Power within him was violent and evil, a sharp contradiction to the smile on his face. Such a terrifying, malevolent power residing in such a small child, coupled with his skill at concealing it behind a facade of innocence, marked him as an absolutely dreadful character.

Feeling a chill throughout his body, Ji Changkong did not stop but instead summoned all his strength and fled faster. "Big Brother, I can smell the blood of my little snake.

Heh heh, so it was you who killed my two-headed python." The little boy lightly licked his lips, his face a mask of smiles, his small figure fixed intently on Ji Changkong. "Two little sluts, you still think you can escape?" Ahead, three figures in black, wide-brimmed hats suddenly appeared, attacking in unison and effectively intercepting the girls in red and green.

The girls looked increasingly anxious, constantly glancing back, as if they were more afraid of the little boy catching up than of the men blocking their path. Boom!

The girls in red and green failed to break through; the assault from the three black-hatted figures forced them to halt right where they were. Whoosh!

Ji Changkong arrived. Without sparing the two girls a second glance, he tried to bypass the three men blocking his way and escape the area as quickly as possible.

"You won't be getting away either!" Baidu Shifang Tianshi Forum Administration Team hand-typed, we hope everyone supports the official release, or strives to vote for Little Ni!] The three men in black attacked together. All three were at the Four Symbols Heaven realm, and simultaneously communicating with the Sacred Beast White Tiger, they jointly conjured an illusionary projection of the White Tiger, ten [unit of measure missing] long.

The phantom Sacred Beast White Tiger lunged in a hunting posture, releasing a formidable pressure that forced Ji Changkong to stop and defend himself. "Big Brother, since you killed my little snake, you have to compensate me for something, right?" The boy arrived, smiling benignly behind Ji Changkong.

His bright, dark eyes swept over the two girls, and his formerly innocent face suddenly cracked into a lewd smile. He licked his lips and whispered, "Sisters, shall we have some fun later?" Upon meeting the little boy's gaze, the girls in red and green shivered violently, their faces turning pale.
