Startled Sparrow Master was still aware of it.

The Python's body was too huge, and just as it was about to jump out of the water, the water's violent change sold it out. Startled Sparrow Master relied on the temporary ability brought by the "Painting Sparrow" to fly away from the bite. Seeing the Python's bloody mouth about to bite his body, it continued to fall back into the water under the pull of gravity.

Startled Sparrow Master let out a long sigh.

However, he did not notice that there was a huge snake tail standing upright behind him.

The huge snake tail struck Startled Sparrow Master's body.

Forget everything?

A mournful bird cry came from his body.

Black liquid flowed out from the wound on Startled Sparrow Master's waist, the liquid was like moving tentacles wrapping around his body, the black liquid condensed on his back to form wings.

His black wings flapped vigorously, causing his body to hover in the air.

The heavily injured him already could no longer control the baleful aura of the Painting Sparrow in his body.

The Painting Sparrow was devouring him.

Zhou Heng sensed that something was amiss with the Startled Sparrow Master. The wings on his back were still flapping, and his body was hanging limply. The Startled Sparrow Master seemed to be controlled by the baleful qi in his body in turn. Zhou Heng realized this.

Before Zhou Heng could observe any further, the black Painting Sparrow had already flown towards the Python in the water.

In the eyes of the Python, this black little thing was suicidal. However, with the previous lesson being taught, this time it did not open its mouth wide to bite its opponent.

The snake head carried a thousand kilograms of strength, charging towards Startled Sparrow Master who was controlled by the evil aura.

Just before they were about to collide, the Painting Sparrow's wings suddenly flapped rapidly, and Startled Sparrow Master's body flew to the side. He avoided the impact of the snake's head, and at the same time, black claws congealed beneath his feet.

The sharp claws were on the side of the snake's head, although it had scales to block it, the sharp bird claws were a weapon to fight against the scales, and a large part of the Python's skin was ripped off.

The Python was in pain, it had no vocal cords and was unable to let out painful howls. It could only use its body to continuously twist and turn at the bottom of the lake, stirring up the water in the Qingyu Lake.

The Painting Sparrow targeted the eyes of the Python, and that was the Python's weakness. It controlled the Startled Sparrow Master's body and pounced towards the Python's eyes.

The Python dodged while smashing its head towards the Painting Sparrow in the air. Unfortunately, the opponent's body was too small and sensitive, so the snake's head was already full of scratches, and it did not touch the other party at all.

The Python's body started to sink into the water again.

Zhou Heng knew that if any further developments were to occur, the Startled Sparrow Master that was being controlled by the Painting Sparrow would definitely be buried underwater.

"Save that man." He Yiyang suddenly said to Zhou Heng.

"Hmm?" Zhou Heng was startled, "He almost beat you to death just now, and you're begging me to save him?"

"If he dies and falls into this Qingyu Lake, his obsession will turn him into an evil spirit," He Yiyang said. "I have been here for sixteen years, I do not wish to see this place defiled by evil spirits."

"I saved him, so that this place can return to its peaceful state. Can you be at ease in reincarnating?" Zhou Heng asked him.

He Yiyang nodded firmly.

Zhou Heng let out a long sigh. He really didn't understand He Yiyang at all, drowned to death in here, and did not turn into a ferocious ghost even after sixteen years. Instead, he wholeheartedly wanted to protect this lake. It was too kind.

Zhou Heng who was standing by the lake took off his shoes and socks.

"Zhou Heng," Cao Fang saw his movements and could not help but say worriedly, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Heng turned and smiled at her, then said: "It's alright, I've already seen the movements of the snake clearly." This was also why Zhou Heng did not escape. After looking at the movements of the Python a few times, he started to feel that this big guy was only so-so. If it were in the past, he would not have provoked such trouble. However, after reaching the D grade as a Heavenly Master, all his attributes had improved, including his observation and analysis abilities.

Zhou Heng placed his phone and change into his shoes, and after taking a deep breath, he jumped into the lake.

The Painting Sparrow did not notice this point at all. Although it had already escaped the control of the Startled Sparrow Master and even reversed the control of the Startled Sparrow Master's body, the Startled Sparrow Master was not completely dead, so a large portion of its strength and intelligence were sealed inside the Startled Sparrow Master's body. Unless the Startled Sparrow Master was completely dead, it would not be able to recover back to its original body.

Under the Painting Sparrow's attack, the Python was already covered in wounds, but the Python was also waiting for a chance, a chance to finish off the Painting Sparrow in one hit.

None of them noticed that a figure was quickly swimming towards them.

The Python finally found an opportunity. The Painting Sparrow had fallen into his attack range.

Like a released spring, the Python's body quickly bounced up, with a speed that its huge body shouldn't have, it fiercely pounced towards the Painting Sparrow in the air.

The Painting Sparrow threw itself at Yue Yang and tried to dodge, but it was too late. The snake bit its wing hard and tore off one of its wings.

If this was the body of the Painting Sparrow, then it would have suffered irreparable damage. However, the wings were only a polymer formed from baleful qi, it could not harm the very root of the Painting Sparrow.

However, it was too late for the Painting Sparrow to condense another wing. Startled Sparrow Master's body that was enveloped in the black aura had lost the buoyancy of his wings, causing him to tumble down from the sky.

If he fell into the water again, he would not have a chance to escape from the snake's jaws a second time.

The snake's head was high as it stared at the prey that was within reach.

At this moment, a figure jumped out from the water.

He was as fast as an arrow.

The Python turned its head, but before it could even react, the figure had already stepped on its body and jumped into the air.

It was Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng stretched and hugged the falling Startled Sparrow Master, then carried him on his shoulder like a sandbag.

The two of them fell into the water together. Zhou Heng used one hand to paddle the water, swimming towards the shore.

The eyes of the Python widened in anger. There had never been someone who could steal its prey from its mouth like this.

It turned its body and chased in Zhou Heng's direction.

With his speed in the water, Zhou Heng was definitely not able to compare to the Python, let alone the fact that Zhou Heng was only paddling with one hand.

Just as Zhou Heng was about to be overtaken, he suddenly changed his direction.

Turning in the water would only increase the distance between himself and the shore.

Zhou Heng clenched his teeth, and quickly drew on the water surface with his hands. Without even turning his head to look, he knew that the distance between him and the Python was growing closer and closer.

But he had never thought of returning to the shore.

Okay, here it is. Zhou Heng stopped at a spot in the middle of the lake. He was still forty meters from the shore, and the Python's huge body had already caught up to him.

That is the place of the Great Malevolence. Zhou Heng looked at the location of the Python, and then recognized his position, there was no mistake, this was Da Ji.

This was the knowledge from the only book that Zhou Heng had read in the Heavenly Teacher Library.

The name of the book was —

Tong's Wind and Water Studies.
