Who could have imagined that the guardian of the forest would be a terrifying sword serpent?

Covered in violet scales, indestructible.

The sword serpent itself was like a sharp sword, its body long and slender, capable of easily slicing through metal and stone! Moreover, it had reached the Fifth Layer of Qi Transformation!

The violet aura of the Beast King intertwined.

Making it resemble a divine weapon forged through countless refinements!

Hiss!

The sword serpent's tail swayed slightly.

Wherever it passed, ancient trees collapsed instantly, leaving behind neat cuts!

"Run!"

"This is a rare breed, the Violet-Scaled Sword Serpent, unmatched in attack and defense! We can't possibly be its match!"

"That little bastard Chu Feng deserves to die for putting us in such danger!"

Senior Brother Zhao grabbed his spear and, with a step, fled into the distance.

However.

True to its name, the sword serpent's dull eyes reflected a glint of disdain and contempt.

Swish!

In the blink of an eye, as the three moved, the sword serpent's form shifted, appearing hundreds of meters away.

Its extremely long tail cut through ancient trees and cleaved rocks, encircling an area.

Within a radius of several dozen meters.

In an instant, it was blocked by the massive body of the Beast King.

A proud head looked down from above, and in its serpent eyes, a fierce sword light burst forth.

"This sword serpent has become a spirit!"

In the distance, Chu Feng concealed his aura, watching from afar.

"To think its eyes have nurtured sword light!"

"The Fifth Layer of Qi Transformation can indeed give birth to intelligence, but this appearance suggests it's practicing the way of the sword, and has even condensed a sword heart!"

He was slightly surprised.

Cultivating the way of the sword is extremely arduous.

Comprehending the sword way requires an immense amount of time.

Yet.

This sword serpent had nurtured sword light in its eyes, terrifying! It surpassed most sword cultivators in the Hundred Refinements realm!

Even Chu Feng had only barely reached such a level!

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawℝead.com ].

"Roar!"

The Violet-Scaled Sword Serpent, noble and proud, moved slowly, looking down at Senior Brother Zhao and the others.

True Qi surged, and streaks of violet sword energy burst through its scales, casting a terrifying sword glow.

Each scale was like a violet divine sword!

True Qi surged, its sharpness boundless!

As it moved, the entire forest was swept by an immense pressure.

Almost at the moment the Beast King roared proudly.

At the foot of Blackcloud Mountain, Elder Jian and Yu Feichen simultaneously looked up, a glimmer of light flashing in their eyes.

"Someone has provoked that Beast King?"

"The Violet-Scaled Sword Serpent has reached the Fifth Layer of Qi Transformation, and it seems to be on the verge of breaking through to the Sixth Layer. Such an existence, even I wouldn't be completely confident facing it!"

Yu Feichen's eyes flickered as she stood, intending to climb the mountain for rescue.

However, Elder Jian stopped her.

"Don't bother!"

"The rules of the Sword Institute's assessment are such that even you cannot defy them!"

"Besides! That Violet-Scaled Sword Serpent must have had a great opportunity, otherwise, it couldn't have nurtured such powerful sword energy! Rest assured, it shouldn't endanger everyone!"

Elder Jian spoke in a deep voice.

The rules of the Sword Institute's assessment were as such.

Moreover, before setting out, they had been warned not to disturb the Beast King.

If someone didn't heed the warning and sought their own death, it was their own fault!

As long as the Beast King didn't rampage and endanger everyone, they couldn't intervene!

"Sigh!" Yu Feichen sighed softly.

At this moment, in front of the cave, countless deep sword marks appeared on the ground.

The sword serpent swayed its body, appearing extremely leisurely.

But Senior Brother Zhao and the others were in a dire state, covered in blood, with bone-deep wounds on each of them, their hatred for Chu Feng reaching its peak!

They wished they could skin Chu Feng alive!

If not for Chu Feng, how would they have ended up trapped by the sword serpent?

Roar!

The sword serpent let out a light roar.

At this moment, the forest rustled, and from not far away, several equally massive fierce beasts emerged.

On a giant rock, a lion engulfed in black demonic flames appeared, its fur gleaming like a black sun, near the cave. However, it seemed to fear the sword serpent's might, not daring to approach, watching from afar.

On the other side.

There was a tall fierce wolf, its body marked with blood-red patterns, a massive sword scar running from its brow to the corner of its eye, nearly splitting its head open.

It too stopped, watching from a distance, but in its gaze towards the sword serpent, there was a flicker of ferocity and hatred!

"It's over!"

"The Beast King is alarmed, and all the Qi Transformation beasts around have gathered!"

Chen Fan's face was full of despair.

The fierce beasts lay in wait!

Besides the two strongest half-step Beast Kings, there were several auras of the Ninth Layer of the Hundred Refinements realm, pressing down with great force.

"Roar!" The sword serpent sensed the surrounding beasts, raising its head proudly, letting out a low roar.

As if declaring its sovereignty.

The giant lion engulfed in demonic flames and the fierce wolf king both lowered their heads slightly, showing submission.

Seeing this scene, Chen Fan and the others grew even more desperate!

"Wait!"

At this moment, Senior Brother Zhao shouted.

"We still have a sliver of hope!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, having barely survived a blow from the sword serpent, nearly cut in half.

"It is indeed a Beast King, but the other fierce beasts appeared the moment there was movement here, clearly not fully submissive!"

"They're just intimidated by the sword serpent's might, not daring to resist!"

"If we seriously injure the sword serpent, they will surely act! Then, we might have a chance to escape!"
