两男一女的双龙挺进

"Annoying bugs." She sneered in annoyance, returning her gaze to the ongoing fight.

As they collided in the middle, Nox\'s fist blurred forward and smashed into the head of the Python!

**BANG!**

The impact of the punch was so powerful that the massive Python nearly toppled over and slammed into the ground.

**"Hissss!"** Anger blazed like a volcano in the beast\'s eyes as its tail snapped like a whip, aiming to crush Nox with brute strength.

"Too slow," Nox taunted as he dodged the Python King\'s tail, feeling the powerful gust in his face. Then he suddenly closed the little gap between him and the massive beast and countered with a lightning-fast punch!

**BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!**

"This… why is it so fast?" the Python King exclaimed in confusion as each blow slammed into its hard black scales. It felt its insides blaze with pain. Because of its extremely tough scales, Nox\'s punches didn\'t make noticeable impacts on the outside. However, the inside was a different case!

Each blow seemed to shatter the internal organs of the Black Scaled Python. Within seconds, foams of blood were spilling from its mouth!

"This hurts! I don\'t understand, isn\'t this human only a low-level Awakened?"

"How is he moving so fast? Why does his punches hurt so much?"

Just then, the Black Scaled Python King opened its mouth like a cobra about to spit venom.

"Hmph, your wife did the same thing… I\'d be a fool if I allowed that attack to hit me." As Nox shouted this, Oblivion Edge, which he had put away, materialized in his grasp, glinting with a sharp light. At first, he wanted to test how he\'d fare against the python using only brute strength, but the beast king\'s scales were simply too strong for his current level and strength stats.

Tightening his grasp on the weapon, Nox lunged forward and attacked the beast\'s midsection.

**Fwoosh!**

Oblivion Edge sliced through the air and pierced the python\'s obsidian scales!

**Crack!**

Under the powerful attack, cracks spread from the point of impact, shocking the Black Scaled Python as it swallowed its venomous poison. Soon enough, the crack extended in all directions before scales began falling off one after another.

The Black Scaled Python was shocked!

"I wonder what rank that dagger is," Bridget thought with a soft smile on her face, recalling the gruesome scene from the tournament when Nox had used the dagger on Hendrix.

"So many mysteries," she whispered, rubbing her hands in excitement. "But I\'m going to unearth all of them! Every single one of them!"

"What kind of treacherous weapon is that, human?" the magical beast roared in anger, retaliating with venomous toxin from its mouth.

"It was gifted to me by a god!" Nox declared, dodging the barrage of venom. Then he suddenly leaped up, covering several meters in mid-air and catching the Python mid-leap. "It will also be your end!"

As soon as he finished the last sentence, Oblivion Edge descended like a meteoric hammer, slamming into the head of the Python King and shattering it into countless fragments that rained throughout the battleground.

Nox landed gracefully on the ground, just in time for a portion of the beast\'s massive head to land at his feet. Even in death, one could still see the stunned look on the beast\'s face.

Nox simply kicked the beast\'s head without even a shred of remorse and glanced at the rest of the beasts, who also seemed to be in a shocked state!

Because of his natural connection with beasts, Nox could feel their shock vividly.

Under their stunned gazes, Nox turned his back to the beasts and went to pick up the monster core belonging to the defeated Python King, which was lying a few meters away from the deep crater caused by Oblivion Edge.

"Dealing with a king-tier beast in a couple of moves... this is the first time I\'m seeing a kid so powerful." Bridget\'s eyes shone with fascination. "Turning your back on them... such disrespect and confidence!"

**Growl! Growl!**

Seeing Nox\'s back turned, the beasts thought it was the right moment to attack, and they did just that, charging in all at once!

What they didn\'t know was that the Beast Master had already sensed their intentions before they made their move.

Putting the beast cores away, he threw his dagger into the air, and it pierced the first creature closest to him, then burst out, piercing the second.

Then the third… the fourth… the fifth, sixth, seventh.

Finally, it struck down the tenth creature before stabbing into the hard ground, the sun gleaming on its blade.

However, out of the blade\'s trajectory, the beasts who were still unharmed jumped at Nox.

Within a few minutes, Nox dealt with all the beasts in the area. Before he left, though, he made sure to pick up every single one of the beasts\' cores.

When he was done collecting the beast cores, Nox activated Divine Velocity!

"With Divine Velocity on, I should find the beast base within a couple of minutes!"

Immediately, his body flickered, and he disappeared in a golden streak, leaving behind nothing but a relatively deep crater and a stunned Bridget.

"Bloody hell!" she exclaimed with wide eyes, her gaze never leaving the previous spot Nox had stood just seconds ago. "Did this kid just outrun me?"

Back in the Cromwell Barony, a scene the soldiers and all citizens thought would never occur was happening right in front of their eyes!
