Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

They couldn't believe it, that someone dared to face them head-on in the darkness!

Chen Qi's chest heaved with his breath, feeling a thorough and exhilarating sense of satisfaction spread throughout his body.

Under normal circumstances, immersed in darkness, his spirit would have already plummeted to zero, transforming him into a monster filled with desire.

But at that moment, he managed to maintain his spirit, and the more he fought, the more exhilarating it became.

This was the formidable power of a Night Monster... Chen Qi spat out a mouthful of blood.

Soon, the pack of Shadow Beasts, as if frightened, scattered and fled from the area.

"Who else!"

A trace of ruthlessness flickered in Chen Qi's eyes as he surveyed his surroundings.

Accompanied by a great deal of slaughter, a sudden, loud noise erupted.

The surrounding area seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and a huge shadow slowly rose from the darkness, obscuring the already faint light.

It was a gigantic Shadow Python, forty meters in length and five meters tall, with scales as dark as the night itself, glossy and deep, its mouth dripping with large amounts of human blood and flesh.

Its eyes, glittering with a ghostly green light, were like the flames of the netherworld, chilling one to the bone.

The Shadow Python writhed slowly, its massive body rolling over houses, causing a thunderous rumble, as wood splinters flew and bricks crumbled.

As it approached Chen Qi, its lofty head slowly lowered to meet Chen Qi's icy gaze.

It was time for a tasty treat!

The great Shadow Python!

Chen Qi could feel that this was not just another minor monster he had just encountered but a truly terrifying creature.

The aura it emitted was several times stronger than that of the rift wanderers Chen Qi had previously encountered in Crack Number 8.

Placed within a C-rank group rift, it could easily serve as a high-health BOSS!

Finally, a worthy challenge... Chen Qi's thick tentacles behind his back unsheathed the long blade at his waist.

Draw the blade!

Chen Qi silently caught the Meat Cutting Bone Breaking blade.

Under normal circumstances, with his strength, even with Blade Release, he had no confidence that he could defeat an elite BOSS from a C-rank crack.

Especially within the boosts of a B-rank crack, the Shadow Python's health thickness was even far above that of the near-sea overlord.

After all, he had just advanced to Third Rank not long ago; even if he could win, he would surely be battered and bruised.

Of course, all these assumptions were made under the condition that he had no special attacks!

"Number One."

Chen Qi gave the command.

Whoosh!

The Water Elf Number One hastily picked up the white daylight lantern in the middle and threw it next to Chen Qi.

The daylight lantern had been enhanced with the Lighting Skill.

And the Fire Casting Skill could use the light to forge it into new flames.

Previously, in order not to be detected by the Shadow Beasts, Chen Qi had purposely hidden in the darkness, but now, there was no need for that.

Lighting Skill could greatly enhance his strength and deal significant true damage to the Shadow Beasts.

"Fire Casting—"

Chen Qi murmured, placing his finger above the lantern's light.

At his fingertips, sizzling flames continuously emerged, spreading rapidly like oil being spilled, engulfing it in flames.

Chen Qi held the flame with his fingers, directly applying it along the blade of the sword, as the scorching white flame intensely burned on the blade.

Whoosh—

As his fingertips gently left the tip of the blade, finishing the last stroke, a perfectly enchanted long sword materialized.

A long sword of white fire, with a special attack that targets shadow demons!

Roar!

The great Shadow Python lifted its head, the space around it vibrated, emitting a deafening roar, its fangs bared as it descended upon him like a crashing train!

Chen Qi swiftly drew his blade and under the influence of Qi Power Transformation, the white flames dramatically expanded into a towering ten-meter-high inferno long sword.

Lanter. Fire Casting. Black Wave Slash!

The scalding flames, like a massive chainsaw, shattered the Shadow Python's rough and thick scales into dust.

On the surface of the Shadow Python's skin lay powerful Night Scales, an extremely strong material that even Spiral Bullet could hardly penetrate its defenses!

Therefore, the Shadow Python was overconfident.

Without hesitation, it took the strike head-on, yet at the mere touch, its Night Scales melted away like wax. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire

The Shadow Python let out an instinctive roar.

It twisted its body, attempting to struggle, but the burning white fire, like a black tidal wave, followed the direction of the sword and tore open a ten-meter long dark red wound.

Boom!

Along with the dark red blood that splattered across the street.

A huge, massive black corpse was violently brought down to the ground, causing the entire street to quake.

Defense? How do you defend against true damage?

This is the true damage of the daylight lantern, augmented with Fire Casting Skill! Little snake!

Amidst the diminishing power and a cloud of dust, a bright red notice popped up.

[You have defeated the great Shadow Python and gained 5,000 inspiration points!]

The surroundings returned to silence as the dust settled.

Chen Qi sheathed his sword, feeling the heat emanating from his hand.

Then, Chen Qi sighed with relief, turned his head, and looked silently at the stunned townspeople and Hunters beside the Water Elf. He smiled and said:

"You're safe now, for the moment."
