Chapter 325: They Tempted Fate and Had Bad Luck
That inconspicuous thin line was extremely powerful. The seemingly sturdy scales of the Blood Python were actually shattered by the line's attack.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the slightly yellowish blood of the Blood Python dripped down, intensifying the bloody scent.
The moment Lin Moyu smelled the blood, he had an urge to rush over and swallow it all.
An elder on the warship took action. He flashed out, holding a huge crystal bottle to collect every drop of the dripping blood without wasting any.
Lin Moyu finally understood why it was called the Blood Python. It wasn't because the giant python itself craved blood, but because its blood made people irresistibly want to devour it.
Yan Kuangsheng wore a disdainful look, "The Blood Python's meat is good, but its blood isn't that valuable."
Lin Moyu thought for a moment and blurted out, "Even an ant is meat."
Yan Kuangsheng roared with laughter, "Well said, even a mosquito is meat."
The attacked Blood Python was already enraged. Its massive tail swept over at an astonishing speed.
With Lin Moyu's eyes, he couldn't even track its attack trajectory. He only saw a flash before the python's tail heavily slammed into the warship.
The warship's shield became distorted, looking like it would shatter any moment.
One of the elders placed his hand on the warship, causing it to shine brilliantly as the shield stabilized.
The warship launched another attack, but this time it wasn't a thin line. Instead, it transformed into a hundred-meter-long sword slashing towards the Blood Python.
The Blood Python's horns on its head glowed, unleashing millions of lightning bolts that collided violently with the giant sword.
The two forces were evenly matched, canceling each other out in the void.
The Blood Python's massive tail then struck rapidly, hundreds of times in an instant, thundering continuously.
Ripples burst from the warship's shield as terrifying energy clashed in the void.
The elders on the warship left and launched attacks on the Blood Python.
Only then did Lin Moyu realize they had formed a party.
There were knights, warriors, mages, and archers.
Not only that, two remained on the warship, clearly acting as healers and supporters.
After leaving, they formed a battle formation to engage the Blood Python.
They were treating it like a BOSS monster.
Lin Moyu's eyes sparkled as he witnessed the battle of top professionals, a rare sight.
Yan Kuangsheng still wore a disdainful look, "Just watch, this isn't how true divine experts fight."
Lin Moyu was slightly surprised. Not like this? Then how should they fight? Don't other professionals form parties too? Divine experts were professionals in the end.
Yan Kuangsheng said, "Have you ever seen divine experts form parties?"
Of course not, Lin Moyu hadn't even truly witnessed a divine expert in action before. The brief exchange between Yan Kuangsheng and Bai Yiyuan didn't count.
Yan Kuangsheng continued, "The reason they're divine experts is that they don't need anyone's assistance or parties to unleash their full power."
"They fight when they want, leave when they want, unencumbered by parties."
"Of course, you haven't reached that level yet, so you wouldn't understand."
"White Yiyuan will definitely teach you about it later, no need for me to waste words."
Lin Moyu seemed to understand but not quite. However, in his memories, Bai Yiyuan did indeed always act alone, never forming parties.
Moreover, the records about Bai Yiyuan showed him fighting enemies alone as well.
Lin Moyu had wondered before why Bai Yiyuan didn't need healing or support buffs.
Yan Kuangsheng said, "Remember, level 89 top professionals, level 90 pseudo-divinities, and level 90 true divine experts are completely different concepts."
"Whether level 89 or pseudo-divinity, they're no match for true divine experts."
"Even if dozens of pseudo-divinities formed a party, it still wouldn't be enough."
Lin Moyu nodded, "I've got it."
For professionals at the later stages, even a single level difference meant a significant gap in strength.
He never expected the gap described by Yan Kuangsheng to be so vast. A party of level 89 top professionals wouldn't be enough to face a level 90 true divine expert.
Yan Kuangsheng then changed the subject, "However, there are exceptions. Some level 89 top professionals have already grasped that step and can be considered semi-divine."
"Their strength may even surpass level 90 pseudo-divinities."
Lin Moyu immediately thought of Principal Mo Xinghe from Genesis Academy. His casual actions were completely incomprehensible to Lin Moyu when dealing with monsters.
Bai Yiyuan had also said that Mo Xinghe was likely to become a new divine expert in the empire.
Perhaps he was the semi-divine expert Yan Kuangsheng mentioned.
In any case, at least with Lin Moyu's current level, he couldn't understand it at all.
After a few minutes of battle, it seemed to have reached a stalemate. The party of elders had unleashed their full power, but the Blood Python was only gradually weakening, not quite defeated yet.
Seizing the opportunity, the elder controlling the warship suddenly erupted with a powerful aura. A giant sword slashed out at lightning speed.
Blood splashed through the air as the Blood Python's tail, over five meters long, was severed.
This was a massive chunk of bloody flesh.
Lin Moyu's eyes lit up. This piece of flesh was huge, hundreds of times larger than the one he had eaten.
After being severed, the tail rapidly shrank in the void, quickly reducing to only half a meter of meat.
Lin Moyu was stunned. It could do that?
Yan Kuangsheng grinned, still wearing a disdainful look, "Once the Blood Python's flesh leaves its body, it discards all useless impurities, leaving only the essence. This piece of meat is enough for five people."
"Tail meat has the lowest quality with average effects. It's only good for being big."
"At most, it would increase all attributes by 1500."
Yan Kuangsheng had battled the Blood Pythons for who knows how many years, so he was very familiar with them.
Lin Moyu asked, "From the looks of it, they seem to have a chance of killing this Blood Python."
Yan Kuangsheng laughed heartily, "Not a chance. If they're too slow in escaping, they might even lose their lives here."
"But with me here, they won't die."
Although Yan Kuangsheng kept looking down on these pseudo-divine elders, they were still people of the Divine Summer Empire. He wouldn't just watch them die.
Sure enough, just as Yan Kuangsheng said, after obtaining a piece of Blood Python meat, the elders quickly retreated back to the warship.
Their manner was like they were fleeing for their lives.
"Hurry, hurry, let's go!"
The urgency in their voices revealed how rushed they were.
Princess Dongfang Yao seemed a bit confused, unaware of why they had suddenly become so hurried. Wasn't the situation in their favor? Even if they wanted to kill this Blood Python, it didn't seem too difficult.
Why did they suddenly want to leave?
She had questions in her mind but didn't voice them. Before departing, her father Dongfang Yi had told her to listen to the elders' instructions, observe more and speak less, or even remain silent.
The Blood Python let out an unusual howl filled with a sense of grievance, like a child being bullied and crying to an adult for help.
The sound instantly spread through the entire void at extreme speed.
"Hurry, hurry, faster!"
The elders urged even more urgently.
"This is already the maximum speed!"
The elder controlling the warship shouted loudly.
By now, the warship had reached its top speed, shooting away like a beam of light.
Yan Kuangsheng chuckled, "Watch, now the real show is about to begin. Do you think they can escape?"
Lin Moyu was completely clueless about what was happening and how he could possibly guess.
In the next second, his eyes widened in shock.
The rapidly fleeing warship suddenly stopped, motionless in the void. The shield seemed to be crushed by an immense force, constantly distorting.
An even more intense bloody scent permeated the area, invading Lin Moyu's nostrils.
Lin Moyu swallowed his saliva, instantly craving to eat something. It felt like an otherworldly delicacy had appeared before him, and he wanted to take a few bites.
An extremely terrifying Blood Python appeared in the void, over a thousand meters long with its belly claws alone spanning two to three hundred meters.
One of its massive claws firmly grasped the warship, and no matter how hard the elders on board struggled, they couldn't move an inch.
Lin Moyu couldn't even imagine a monster of such immense size existing.
A term popped into his mind: World BOSS of the divine realm.
The elders on the warship, including Princess Dongfang Yao, all had faces drained of color.
"How could it be this fast!"
"It wasn't this fast before!"
"We're done for this time."
"Quick, call for the Raging God's help!"
They frantically called out to Yan Kuangsheng for help, their only lifeline.
Yan Kuangsheng laughed brilliantly, "I told you they couldn't escape."
"Blood Python meat isn't that easy to obtain. Getting lucky a few times is one thing, but luck can't be that good every time."
"This time, they tempted fate and had bad luck."
"If I don't step in, they're definitely dead."
"Oh well, since we're all from the Divine Summer Empire, I'll reluctantly save them."
"Kid, watch closely how a divine expert fights."
After saying all that, Yan Kuangsheng charged out, slashing his blade.
A thousand-meter-long sword beam tore through the void!
