It must be said, the demon python’s speed in the water was truly terrifying. When Hua Tianxiong first spotted it, it was over 300 meters away, yet in less than two seconds, Hua Tianxiong had reached the edge of the lake. By the time he stood upon the sand and gravel at the water's edge, the python had already closed the distance to within 20 meters.
Seemingly sensing that the human before it possessed only weak cultivation, the demon python appeared to be toying with him. Its massive head rose more than four meters out of the water, its gaping maw like a millstone, and its scarlet tongue flickered with a rhythmic hissing. It looked down at the human holding a large saber, all the while using its body to stealthily close the remaining distance.
Although Hua Tianxiong desperately wanted to get ashore—where the odds would be better against a giant python—the situation no longer allowed for it. The beast’s maw was only 10 meters away, a distance it could bridge with a single strike. Hua Tianxiong stood his ground decisively, planting his feet on a solid rock, filled with the firm belief that he would prevail.
