Wu Shattered Star River

At the bottom of the mine, there were fourteen mine shafts, each with hundreds of miners digging.

Jiang Han followed Li Ling, walking around and questioning the miners in the mine.

Soon, they received a report from a miner that a Spirit Devouring Python might appear on their side because they had mined Tianyuan ore yesterday.

Many snake trails as thick as arms appeared in this mine, indicating the presence of a Spirit Devouring Python nearby.

Jiang Han perked up and sat down to rest and quietly wait for the Spirit Devouring Python to appear, with Li Ling accompanying him.

Li Ling was only at the ninth level of the Purple Mansion Realm, and encountering a Spirit Devouring Python would be very dangerous, but Jiang Han was a member of the Godslayer Squad, so he dared not be negligent.

“Hiss~”

Half an hour later, a hissing sound suddenly came from within a snake trail.

The miners digging nearby were very experienced and quickly retreated at the first sign, while also lighting a kind of fragrant grass that could drive away the Spirit Devouring Python.

Jiang Han's eyes instantly opened, and he quickly walked towards the snake trail, his battle blade unsheathed, his eyes becoming fiery.

“Senior Brother Jiang, be careful!”

Li Ling did not retreat or approach, holding a burning torch of fragrant grass in his hand, watching with a nervous expression.

“Hiss~”

A brown snake head the size of a fist protruded from the snake trail, its triangular eyes blood-red.

When it saw Jiang Han nearby, its body suddenly shot out, and a cloud of poisonous gas spewed from its mouth, its speed astonishingly fast.

“Senior Brother Jiang, dodge quickly!”

Li Ling was terrified when he saw Jiang Han standing still, not moving at all, and shouted loudly.

This poisonous gas possessed terrifying corrosive power. Even if Yan Xin was hit, let alone Jiang Han, he would be seriously injured if not killed.

“Oh no…”

“Why isn't this important figure from Yunmeng Pavilion dodging? It's over…”

“Is this person stupid? Is he an expert from the Profound Nether Realm?”

Some miners in the distance couldn't help but say, and some miners didn't even dare to watch.

Once the poisonous gas touched him, a large piece of Jiang Han's flesh would be gone. If it hit his head, he would die instantly.

“Whoosh~”

How could Jiang Han be so easily hit by the poisonous gas? He immediately used the Shape-Shifting Shadow Divine Ability. His true body appeared on the left side, and his long blade, carrying multiple overlapping shadows, slashed fiercely at the snake's head.

Jiang Han's current strength was extremely terrifying. His physical body had undergone two transformations, coupled with the Power of Rampage and the Sevenfold Blade Technique. This strike was even more powerful than a fourth or fifth level Profound Nether Realm expert.

In order to attack Jiang Han just now, the Spirit Devouring Python's body had stretched out of the snake cave by a full three feet. Jiang Han felt the danger of this strike, but it was too late to retreat.

“Bang!”

With a muffled explosion, the Spirit Devouring Python's head instantly became a bloody mess, but it was not smashed. Its body quickly retreated into the snake trail, trying to escape.

“Want to escape? Not so easy!”

How could Jiang Han let a cooked duck fly away right before his eyes? He immediately used the Mountain-Piercing Technique, digging a tunnel from the side and disappearing into the mountain.

“This…”

A group of miners watched in stunned silence, especially the Shape-Shifting Shadow Divine Ability, which was too strange. The crowd didn't understand Jiang Han's Mountain-Piercing Technique.

They only saw Jiang Han rush towards the mountain wall, and his body plunged into the mountain, leaving behind a dark tunnel.

“So strong!”

Compared to the miners, Li Ling was considered well-informed. He was so shocked that his mouth fell open, and after a long while, he said, “The people of the Godslayer Squad are indeed extraordinary.”

Half an incense stick later, a black shadow shot out, holding a huge python in its hand.

The python was completely dead, and its inner core had been dug out.

Jiang Han threw the Spirit Devouring Python's corpse aside and said to the miners, “I don't want this, I only want the inner core. You can have the snake body.”

“Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!”

A group of miners were overjoyed. Although the Spirit Devouring Python had lost its inner core, it was still a second-order demon beast.

The materials from its body could be sold for some silver coins, which was a considerable income for them.

Jiang Han nodded slightly and continued to sit down and wait.

The miners took care of the Spirit Devouring Python's body and continued to mine, but they occasionally glanced at Jiang Han, their eyes filled with reverence.

After another half an hour, another Spirit Devouring Python came out, and Jiang Han immediately took action.

This time, he didn't slash at the snake's head, but at the seven-inch spot on the python.

The scales on the snake's head were indeed relatively hard, while the seven-inch spot was not so hard, and Jiang Han cut it in two with one strike.

Jiang Han broke open the inner core, did not refine it in front of these people, but simply put it away.

Jiang Han gave the python's flesh to the miners again. A group of miners cheered and thanked him repeatedly, causing a commotion that alarmed the miners in the nearby mine shafts.

Before long, a miner trotted in and said to Li Ling, “Lord Li, Lord Yan invites you to come over.”

Li Ling cupped his hands towards Jiang Han, exited the mine shaft, walked to Yan Xin's front, and bowed, saying, “Senior Brother Yan, you were looking for me?”

Yan Xin said with a cold expression, “What's going on inside? It's so noisy.”

Li Ling reported, “It was Senior Brother Jiang who hunted down two Spirit Devouring Pythons and then rewarded the python's flesh to the miners. The miners were very happy, so they were a bit loud.”

“Killed two Spirit Devouring Pythons?”

Yan Xin was a little surprised, nodded slightly, and said, “He does have some skill. Did he fight for a long time? Was he injured?”

Li Ling reported, “Senior Brother Jiang killed the first Spirit Devouring Python in a dozen breaths of time, and the second one he killed with one strike. Senior Brother Jiang's skills are superb, and he didn't suffer any injuries.”

“Killed with one strike?”

Yan Xin frowned, his face full of suspicion. He rolled his eyes twice and asked, “Is his battle blade a earth-rank Xuan weapon?”

“No!” Li Ling replied, “According to my observation, it should be a low-grade Xuan weapon.”

“Impossible!”

Yan Xin suddenly stood up and said, “The Spirit Devouring Python's defense is so strong, how could a newly-advanced Profound Nether Realm cultivator kill it with one strike? Absolutely impossible!”

Li Ling smiled wryly and said, “Senior Brother Jiang is very strong. He should also have two powerful divine abilities. In my opinion, Senior Brother Jiang's comprehensive combat power is comparable to...the third level of the Profound Nether Realm.”

“Nonsense!”

Yan Xin himself was at the third level of the Profound Nether Realm. He scoffed at it, his face full of mockery, and said, “Are you blind? How could someone who just broke through to the Profound Nether Realm awaken a divine ability?”

Li Ling rubbed his nose sheepishly and said, “If you don't believe me, Senior Brother Yan, go see for yourself.”

“Hmph!”

Yan Xin snorted coldly, walked towards the mine shaft with his hands behind his back. Just as he was about to reach the end, another Spirit Devouring Python appeared, and Jiang Han was standing in front of the snake trail.

He saw the Spirit Devouring Python shooting towards Jiang Han and spitting out a mouthful of poisonous gas, but Jiang Han didn't dodge or avoid it. He was immediately shocked and shouted, “Are you an idiot? Dodge quickly!”

“Whoosh~”

Jiang Han's true body appeared on the right side of the Spirit Devouring Python, and the long blade slashed down heavily with a whistling sound, easily cutting off the Spirit Devouring Python's head with one strike.

“This…”

Seeing the shadow of Jiang Han, who had been hit by the poisonous gas, slowly dissipate, and seeing the huge snake head and the snake body drooping powerlessly, Yan Xin blinked his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong.

It was not until Jiang Han took the battle blade, cut open the Spirit Devouring Python's stomach, and took out the inner core, and a group of miners happily went over to dissect the snake body, that Yan Xin woke up.

Seeing Li Ling looking at him teasingly from the side, Yan Xin felt his face burning.

Li Ling hadn't lied. This young junior brother who had just broken through to the Profound Nether Realm had actually awakened a divine ability.

And his combat power felt even stronger than his? He had killed many Spirit Devouring Pythons, but he had never done it as easily as Jiang Han…
