The Most Powerful Bodyguard

Chapter 1444: Chapter 1444: Strife Between Snake and Eagle

However, they possess sharp fangs, and surely those giant beasts met their end at their hands and became their meal.

The reason Yang Yan found a way to counteract them so quickly was actually because he felt a familiar aura when these mysterious insects appeared—Demonic Qi.

Although it was very faint, using Immortal Power was precisely their nemesis.

Evidently frightened by Yang Yan’s terror, after sacrificing about one-tenth of their companions, these Flying Fire Ants temporarily gave up their assault, simply surrounding Yang Yan densely.

Sadly, insects will always be just insects; they vastly underestimated human wisdom.

With a thought, Yang Yan’s Immortal Power Shield, which was originally protecting him, suddenly burst apart, transforming into dots of white light, whistling away in all directions.

Any Flying Fire Ants that came into contact with these dots instantly had the flames on their bodies explode and burn to ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As they perished, their kin, which initially swarmed like a tide from underground, seemed to sense the danger and retracted without surfacing.

Yang Yan, of course, could feel that they were actually hiding in the crevices of the stones, secretly observing him, but he had no desire to entangle with them, so he employed his Body Technique to move forward.

After flying about a mile, he couldn’t help but glance back, and indeed, in the place he had just stood, the sky was covered with Flying Fire Ants engulfing the area he had appeared.

A glance told him there were probably hundreds of thousands!

It was due to the Immortal Power given by Nie Suyuan that these small insects weren’t a major threat to him.

As Yang Yan delved deeper, he saw more and more skeletal remains.

And these bones were no longer just the remains of beasts in this swamp; several human remains appeared.

And near these scattered human skeletal remains, there were also some weapon-like items left behind.

However, items like baggage had long since decayed, seemingly over a long time. Compared to the color of the bones, it was not weathered but eroded by the swamp’s aura.

It seems, through long years, they weren’t the first cultivators to enter this space.

But previously, the cultivators who entered this space had bad luck and faced mishaps without traveling far.

Perhaps someone managed to get out of this space, selected as an apprentice by a Great Power...

For the moment, Yang Yan wasn’t worried about Zhou Hanyun and the others encountering problems because, like with Ao Tian, for safety’s sake, Yang Yan had given them Protective Talismans imbued with his Lifebound Primordial Soul.

So far, none of the talismans have had any issues.

Besides, on the surface, Ruyi and Cai’Er seemed like children, but given the speed at which they grew, even if their cultivation might not be high, their combat ability was definitely not in question.

At this moment, Yang Yan suddenly looked across.

Faintly, a violent wave of Spiritual Power came from there.

With a flash of his form, he transformed into a stream of light and rushed over.

Soon, intense sounds of battle reached his ears.

Looking from afar, he saw a shocking scene.

In the distance, a giant python at least ten feet long, with two heads, was raising its belly high, battling a Giant Eagle with a wingspan of over ten feet.

Yang Yan was only momentarily stunned, but the Two-headed Snake Exotic Beast had already shown signs of defeat.

The Giant Eagle swooped down, and its talons, glistening with cold light, deeply pierced into the Two-headed Snake’s body.

The Two-headed Snake let out screeching roars, turning to bite the Giant Eagle, but the eagle skillfully dodged its bite.

Screech—

Accompanied by a high-pitched cry, the Giant Eagle extended its talons again, crushing one of the snake heads.

Roar!

The intense pain made the Two-headed Snake furious, letting out a heart-wrenching roar.

The body twisted violently, and its tail swept across like a chain.

The Giant Eagle fluttered its massive wings, soaring up, narrowly avoiding this raging strike.

Roar!

Missing the strike, the Two-headed Giant Snake roared again, its sole remaining snake head opening its gigantic mouth, spewing out a white cold current.

The Giant Eagle evidently hadn’t anticipated this being a combo attack, caught off-guard and struck by the cold current on its right wing.

Crack—

In an instant, the wing froze solid, and the Giant Eagle in mid-air immediately lost balance, plummeting to the ground.

The Giant Eagle let out a long, celestial screech, struggling to rise, its legs pushing off the ground, leaping up to attack the Two-headed Snake again.

True to its nature as a natural predator of snakes, even though it couldn’t fly temporarily, it managed, through rich experience, to crush the other head of the Two-headed Snake.

Nonetheless, the Giant Eagle was exceptionally cautious; its sharp talons remained embedded in the Two-headed Snake’s belly for a full ten breaths before finally releasing, then it directly used its sharp beak to tear open the snake’s belly and swallow a Snake Gall.

Soon, the frozen wing quickly recovered, allowing it to safely consume the Two-headed Snake’s body.

Yang Yan originally had no intention of intervening, but he suddenly saw a faint green glow inside the shattered head of the Two-headed Snake.

That’s...

A Spirit Core!

Looks like it’s time to play the role of a predator!

Yang Yan focused his thoughts, suddenly raising his right hand:

"Military Technique—Life Destruction!"

Swish—

In an instant, the world was filled with sharp Sword Qi.

The Giant Eagle, quite intelligent, felt the danger immediately.

Sadly, just as it started to flap its wings, the Sword Qi had already pierced through its body, killing it.

Thud!

With its body riddled with holes, the Giant Eagle fell dead, and from its head rolled out an egg-sized purple pearl.

Though Spirit Cores like this are common on the Wandering Dragon Star, they are extremely rare on Earth.

Of course, if it were just a Spirit Core, Yang Yan wouldn’t have taken action.

The Two-headed Giant Snake had a trace of Dragon Qi, but more importantly, the Giant Eagle had a hint of Phoenix bloodline!

These are truly precious items.

Yang Yan didn’t even bother with the Spirit Cores first, directly collecting the Snake Blood and Eagle Blood into the Nascent Void.

Then he began to skin and extract tendons from the Two-headed Giant Snake.

As for the Giant Eagle, its beak and talons were also valuable for crafting weapons, and had significant medicinal properties.

The skeletons of the two were decent, but relatively not precious enough for Yang Yan, so he left them.

After tidying up the valuable items, Yang Yan was satisfied and flew towards the edge of the swamp.

Half an hour later, Yang Yan finally emerged from the swamp.

Gazing at the lush forest ahead, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself, "Hanyun, wait for me, I’m coming soon!"

Yang Yan took a step into the forest and then, using Instant Teleportation, unexpectedly stepped back, reappearing five hundred meters away from where he had been.
