Chapter 57: The Fool Without a Brain

Seeing this scene, everyone was instantly terrified to the core. They were all novices, and even Wan Xiuying, who had been in the outer sect for ten years, had only seen sparring matches among fellow disciples. Even when the fights were brutal, they only resulted in broken bones or limbs. They had never seen such a gruesome situation.

A young woman from the Purple Mist Society was even frightened to the point of fainting.

The Blood Python's head swayed, and the human-like head transformed back into a terrifying snake head. Everyone's hearts trembled. The last time the Blood Python's head turned into a snake head, a disciple from the Mystic Cloud Society was swallowed. This time, who would be the next to become the Blood Python's meal?

Intense fear left everyone's minds blank. At this moment, they were not thinking of resistance but trembling in fear like lambs awaiting slaughter.

The Blood Python, seeing the terrified expressions of the crowd, felt a strange sense of enjoyment.

Just as it was about to lunge forward to swallow another martial artist, it suddenly sensed a massive force coming from behind.

The Blood Python was greatly startled and quickly dodged. However, in its haste, it only managed to avoid half of its body, and the other half was struck by the heavy blow.

Despite its enormous size, it was still knocked several yards away by the powerful strike.

The Blood Python was both shocked and angry. Who had attacked it? How could this person enter the demon array it had set up without making a sound?

The Blood Python quickly stood up and swiftly moved to dodge another attack. It quickly retreated, hiding its body in the black smoke.

The Blood Python was still shaken by the sudden attack. If it had not been alert, it would have been severely injured by now.

Hiding in the black smoke, it carefully observed and found that the attacker was a teenager of about seventeen or eighteen years old, and this teenager was only a First Stage True Qi martial artist.

The Blood Python felt deeply humiliated. It had almost been severely injured by such a weakling. Although it had managed to avoid the vital areas, it was still seriously wounded.

Chu Jianqiu, watching the retreating Blood Python, felt a bit regretful. This beast was indeed experienced; it could still react in such a situation. Otherwise, if that palm strike had landed, it would have taken at least half of the beast's life.

As for the demon array the Blood Python had set up with black smoke, it posed no obstacle to Chu Jianqiu.

After experiencing the array inheritance in the Chaos Supreme Tower, many intricate arrays in the world appeared full of flaws to Chu Jianqiu. While setting up arrays might still be challenging for him, identifying the flaws in arrays was easy.

The demon array set up by the Blood Python was not very sophisticated. It might be enough to trap Han Anyi, Wan Xiuying, and others, but it was impossible to hinder Chu Jianqiu.

Han Anyi, Wan Xiuying, and the others looked at Chu Jianqiu in disbelief.

This coward and waste of space they had been talking about actually confronted the Blood Python directly and forced this half-transformed Blood Python into such a miserable state.

Everything had changed so quickly that they could hardly believe what they were seeing.

"You... How did you get here?" Ximen Yiliu asked in shock.

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to form an array for defense? Are you just standing there waiting to die?" Chu Jianqiu glanced at them coldly. These people, who were usually arrogant and overbearing, were useless in a crisis.

"Haha, defense? With you bunch of trash, what good would defense do? I am a transformed great demon. No matter how much you defend, it will only be a futile struggle." The Blood Python slowly emerged from the black smoke, its blood-red vertical pupils staring at Chu Jianqiu as if looking at a huge joke.

Everyone, who had already taken out their weapons to form an array, felt a deep sense of helplessness and despair upon hearing the Blood Python's words.

The Blood Python was a transformed great demon. With the huge gap in strength, what good would defense do? It would only be a futile struggle.

"It's a transformed great demon. What good would forming an array do?" Ximen Yiliu said with lifeless eyes.

"Fools, didn't you see the huge wound on its body? With such a severe injury, how much of its strength can it still exert?" Chu Jianqiu couldn't help but curse. These people were truly hopeless.

After Chu Jianqiu's reminder, everyone noticed the huge wound on the Blood Python's chest. The wound was terrifying and had not healed at all.

The Blood Python's blood-red vertical pupils suddenly narrowed upon hearing Chu Jianqiu's words.

"Even if I am injured and my strength is greatly reduced, do you think you, a bunch of trash, can match me?" The Blood Python looked at Chu Jianqiu coldly.

"Don't brag. If you were as strong as you say, why would you waste so many words to scare these fools? Why not just swallow them one by one? You're just trying to break their will to fight and make them lose the will to resist, so you can swallow them easily. Your words might fool these brainless fools, but no one with a normal mind would be deceived by you." Chu Jianqiu sneered.

Han Anyi and Si Fengkai were both ashamed and angry, their faces turning red and pale. However, in this life-or-death situation, they did not dare to argue with Chu Jianqiu.

Wan Xiuying and the others from the Purple Mist Society felt ashamed. After Chu Jianqiu's reminder, they realized the Blood Python's abnormal state. These abnormalities could be deduced with careful thought.

However, in the face of such a powerful opponent, who could remain calm and think about these details?

Chu Jianqiu's calmness in the face of danger was truly extraordinary.

Wan Xiuying couldn't help but recall Chu Jianqiu's warnings on the way. It was clear that Chu Jianqiu had already noticed the abnormalities, but they had foolishly thought he was just trying to scare everyone.

Now, it was clear that they deserved to be called brainless fools by Chu Jianqiu.

Chu Jianqiu's ability to discern details before they became apparent, his meticulous thinking, and his foresight were signs of great wisdom. Facing a powerful opponent, he did not flee but instead faced the danger bravely. This was true courage.

Chu Jianqiu was a true strong person with great wisdom and courage, unlike Han Anyi and Si Fengkai, who were usually arrogant and overbearing but were terrified and dared not resist in a crisis. They were truly the brainless fools Chu Jianqiu called them.

No wonder Sister Fu trusted Chu Jianqiu so much. Wan Xiuying's gaze towards Chu Jianqiu now held a strange admiration.
