293: Confused? A mortal whips the Netherworld Python!

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Void Realm True Lord (Minor Achievement)

Cultivation Technique: Burning Heaven Blade Technique 9/9, Close Distance to the Horizon 5/9, Undying and Unextinguished 7/9.

Points: 8000

“The ninth level of Burning Heaven Blade Technique!”

“Is it the Cave Heaven Realm?”

“Soon!”

At the peak of the mountains, Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the Heaven and Earth below.

His gaze was deep and cold, as if it could pierce through the clouds and reach the ground below.

Linquan County, a county under Wansheng Prefecture!

This was the place he had agreed upon with Master of the Xuan Bird Guard Division Zi Yao.

This time, Lu Xuan refined more than a dozen sacrificial artifacts and nearly a hundred Heavenly Spiritual Objects.

From seven-pattern moon-grade sacrificial artifacts down to star-grade sacrificial artifacts.

All Heavenly Spiritual Objects were High Grade or above, and there were even three Cave Heaven Spiritual Objects.

The System points refined from these items, plus the System points remaining from before, allowed Lu Xuan to obtain a total of 708,000 System points.

And advancing the Burning Heaven Blade Technique from the eighth to the ninth level consumed exactly 700,000 System points.

Now, his Burning Heaven Blade Technique had reached Perfection, its power reaching an unprecedented limit.

However, what Lu Xuan regretted was that his Martial Dao Realm did not break through to Void Tempering Major Achievement, which is the Realm of the Lord of the Cave Heaven, due to the progress of the Burning Heaven Blade Technique.

“Lord of the Cave Heaven…” Lu Xuan pondered deeply.

Although he had not yet broken through to Void Tempering Major Achievement, his strength had greatly improved, barely counting as half a Lord of the Cave Heaven.

The purple vortex within Lu Xuan’s body was no longer simply the power of the purple Heaven and Earth Law.

Around the vortex, vaguely discernible sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers could be seen, clearly resembling a miniature Cave Heaven Small World.

And this was precisely the Cave Heaven Small World that only a Martial Artist who had achieved Void Realm Major Achievement would possess!

Once the power of the Heaven and Earth Laws reached Major Achievement, it was time to condense a Cave Heaven Small World and achieve the Lord of the Cave Heaven!

“Not far!”

“Next, after further deducing the other two Cultivation Techniques, I can leap directly to the Cave Heaven Realm!”

The next moment, Lu Xuan released his hands from behind his back, slowly turned around, and looked behind him.

After only a dozen breaths, two dazzling and soul-stirring streaks of light suddenly streaked across the sky.

These two rays of light instantly tore through the sky, yet they vanished in a flash.

About a dozen meters away from Lu Xuan, two figures, like banished immortals descending to the world, slowly floated down and stood steadily face to face with Lu Xuan.

One of them was dressed in a purple dress, the silky fabric flowing like a gentle stream, perfectly outlining her graceful and enchanting figure.

It was Purple Yao!

“Lord Lu, I’ve kept you waiting!”

The moment Purple Yao landed, her originally cold face slowly revealed a faint smile.

And Lü Ze, who was behind Purple Yao, saw Lu Xuan’s face, his expression instantly froze, replaced by disbelief.

His eyes widened, filled with shock and awe, his voice unconsciously rising: “It’s actually you, Lord Lu!”

“It’s truly unexpected!”

At this moment, Lü Ze could pat his chest and guarantee that no word in this world could precisely describe the extreme shock in his heart.

He had imagined it thousands of times before coming, but he never expected that the one who came to help would be this person.

Lü Ze had originally thought that it would be those Old Ancestors from the Imperial Palace who had been living in seclusion, appearing in the world again!

And now, Lu Xuan’s appearance undoubtedly announced a earth-shattering piece of news to the world.

Lu Xuan, this Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard who suddenly emerged, had already stepped into the supreme Realm of a Void Realm True Lord.

In the vast Heaven and Earth of the Great Xia Dynasty, a Void Realm True Lord was a supreme existence.

His every move was enough to shake the universe, transcending all living beings, becoming a myth admired by all Martial Artists in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Lü Ze took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart, and quickly bowed, speaking with extreme humility and respect.

“This old man is the Sky Gazing General, Lü Ze!”

“Hereby—I salute True Lord Lu!”

Lü Ze’s voice trembled slightly, clearly completely awed by Lu Xuan’s Breakthrough to the Realm of a Void Realm True Lord.

Facing Lü Ze’s deep bow, Lu Xuan’s expression was as calm as water; he merely nodded faintly.

“Lord Lü, there’s no need for such formality.”

Purple Yao glanced at Lu Xuan from the corner of her eye, a subtle, strange look flashing in her eyes: “Lord Lu, I’ll leave the matter of the Nether Python to you this time.”

This Lu Xuan, his strength progresses too quickly!

What kind of secret is he hiding?

Yes, Purple Yao had secretly set her sights on Lu Xuan.

She really found it hard to imagine what this guy Lu Xuan relied on to achieve the Void Tempering Realm at the age of twenty.

Even Purple Yao herself didn’t know that her calm state of mind would always become extremely chaotic because of Lu Xuan’s appearance.

Was it greed?

Was it jealousy?

Or was it surprise, curiosity?

Lü Ze, who was beside them, forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart at this moment and quickly took over the conversation.

“Two Lord Lord, I just sensed that the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror has locked onto the approximate location of that Nether Python.”

As soon as these words came out, Purple Yao suddenly turned to look at Lü Ze, frowning slightly, seemingly a little surprised: “Hmm?”

“Lord Lü, didn’t you say that the Nether Python had transformed into a human form, and even the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror couldn’t accurately pinpoint its location?”

Purple Yao’s face showed a hint of doubt, clearly surprised by Lü Ze’s words.

Upon hearing this, Lü Ze quickly explained: “Lord Zi, I did say just now that after the Nether Python transformed into human form, the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror would have difficulty accurately locking its location.”

“However, just now, I discovered that the Nether Python’s Demonic Soul power was suddenly found by the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror.”

His tone carried a hint of excitement, clearly proud of the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror’s ability.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror.

Although the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror did not possess any offensive power, it could encompass the aura of all living beings in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Then, the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror could pinpoint the approximate direction of the owner of that wisp of biological aura.

Even an existence in the Void Tempering Realm, if they didn’t deliberately conceal their aura, would still be exposed before the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon Mirror.

And this Nether Python’s Demonic Soul power was similar to the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation of a human Void Realm True Lord.

The Demonic Soul Manifestation is the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation!

Upon hearing this, a hint of understanding flashed in Purple Yao’s eyes, and she nodded, saying, “So that’s how it is.”

“It seems this Nether Python has finally shown its true colors.”

Seeing Purple Yao speak, Lü Ze continued, “Two Lord Lord, that Nether Python is a hundred miles away!”

“Should we go immediately!”

At this point, Purple Yao turned to look at Lu Xuan, asking, “Lord Lu, what do you think?”

Lu Xuan merely nodded lightly, concisely and forcefully: “Since that’s the case, let’s act.”

“I just don’t know if this flaw was intentional, or…”

A Yao Beast that has broken through to the Yao Lord Realm is no less intelligent than any human.

Hmph, a flaw…

A glint flashed in Lu Xuan’s eyes; he suspected whether this Nether Python was playing the trick of shedding its shell.

However, Lu Xuan had no other choice now; he could only try his luck.

After all, this Nether Python had been relentlessly pursued by Master of the Xuan Bird Guard Division Zi Yao for a full half a year.

Perhaps, this Nether Python really couldn’t hold back anymore; who knew?

Lu Xuan said nothing more, his figure flickered, transforming into a brilliant stream of light, and he flew towards the direction Lü Ze had pointed.

Seeing Lu Xuan make his choice, Purple Yao and Lü Ze did not delay either, and hurriedly followed closely behind him.

Above the sky, three figures, like shooting stars chasing the moon, streaked across the sky, flying rapidly towards a place a hundred miles away.

On the official road leading to Linquan County city, a very strange-looking old man was struggling to walk forward, leaning on a decayed, grayish wooden stick, his steps faltering.

The old man’s figure was hunched, his face withered, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

However, in the old man’s eyes, a strange light flickered, revealing an extraordinary demeanor completely different from his outward appearance.

Soon after, a small town slowly appeared in front, only a dozen miles away from Linquan County.

“That damned woman from the Blackbird Guard is truly relentless.” The old man muttered in a low voice, his voice hoarse and sinister.

“Hehehe!” He suddenly let out a low laugh, a hint of triumph flashing in his eyes.

“This location should be about right.”

He stopped, looked up at the sky, and a strange smile curled at the corner of his mouth: “As soon as this Monarch leaked a wisp of aura, that woman from the Blackbird Guard will probably rush over here.”

This strange old man was precisely Lord Dragon of Jinlin River, transformed from the Nether Python!

The Nether Python’s words were full of mockery; clearly, he didn’t care at all about the Blackbird Guard’s pursuit.

If it were just that woman who appeared in Jinlin River last time, this Monarch wouldn’t have acted so low-key.

Thinking of this, a hint of apprehension flashed in the Nether Python’s eyes.

The person it truly feared was that accursed man, Xia Ritain.

When thinking of the name “Xia Ritain,” the Nether Python felt a gnashing hatred in its heart.

That scoundrel human, Xia Ritain, who knew if he was hiding in the dark, waiting for this Monarch to reappear!

However, the Nether Python quickly regained its composure, sneering in a low voice: “However, now, it’s almost time to get rid of these annoying flies.”

“For this plan, this Monarch has forcibly avoided using any of its power, relying solely on its Physical Body, to traverse more than half of the Great Xia Dynasty.”

The Nether Python muttered in a low voice, its tone containing a hint of self-mockery and triumph.

Although the Nether Python was only moving with its Physical Body, even so, it still possessed the power of a Heavenly Demon (God Palace).

This power was enough for the Nether Python to move unhindered in the human world.

However, in order to evade the pursuit of the Blackbird Guard and Xia Ritain, he had been hiding his strength, pretending to be an ordinary human.

“Hehehe, once this Monarch successfully leaves the Great Xia Dynasty, it will be the doomsday for you ants!”

The Nether Python sneered in a low voice, a hint of ferocity flashing in its eyes.

It had suffered enough from the insidious cunning of these damned humans on the land of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Once Old Ancestor Yu Huang enters this Heaven and Earth and obtains the Origin power of the Fell Spirit Ruin, the seal on this Heaven and Earth will completely disappear, fully exposing it to the Tianwu World.

At that time, this place will also become the territory controlled by Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

Oh, no!

It should be the feeding ground for us Yao Race!

A cruel and ferocious smile appeared on the Nether Python’s face, and then, leaning on its wooden stick, it continued walking towards the town.

However, the scene that unfolded next made the smile on the Nether Python’s face abruptly freeze.

Inside the small town ahead, five horses were galloping rapidly, their hooves thundering like thunder, raising dust.

And in front of the five horses, there was a man, his entire body covered in blood and flesh, seemingly being toyed with and chased by the five horses behind him.

The man’s steps faltered; he was clearly exhausted but still desperately trying to escape.

“Run? You owe this master money, and you still dare to run?”

On horseback, a burly man with a scarred face grinned sinisterly, his whip lashing fiercely at the fleeing man.

“Hehehe, keep running!”

The others also laughed heartily on horseback, their harsh laughter filled with cruel mockery.

Upon seeing this, the Nether Python, in its old man form, quickly pretended not to see and walked in another direction.

At the same time, a hint of disgust and disdain flashed in the Nether Python’s eyes, and it sneered inwardly.

These filthy, despicable humans are simply unworthy of living in the same World with our noble Yao Race.

In the Nether Python’s view, humans were simply a combination of ignorance, greed, resentment, and brutality…

At least, when it transformed into a human, similar acts of mutual harm among their own kind were simply countless.

Even it, a supreme existence of a Yao Lord, felt extremely puzzled and disgusted.

Humans are indeed the lowest form of life!

However, just as the Nether Python was about to bypass this group of people, the man being chased suddenly ran towards it, shouting, “Help! Help!”

The Nether Python frowned, a hint of impatience flashing in its eyes.

It didn’t want to get involved in such boring human disputes, but the man had already rushed in front of it and grabbed the rotten wooden stick it was leaning on.

“Old man, save me!”

“They’re going to kill me!” The man’s face was full of terror, and he desperately clung to the rotten wooden stick the Nether Python was leaning on, as if he had grasped the last straw of hope.

The Nether Python merely looked at the man coldly, its tone filled with endless indifference: “Let go.”

A hint of killing intent flashed in the Nether Python’s eyes, clearly extremely impatient with this human who had suddenly burst into its sight.

“Hahahaha!” The burly man on horseback also caught up, and upon seeing the Nether Python, he even held his belly and let out a burst of wild laughter.

He brandished the whip in his hand, pointing at the man who was clutching the Nether Python’s sleeve.

“Look, everyone, a good-for-nothing actually begged a dying old fellow for help!”

The burly man’s companions also joined in the raucous laughter, as if they had seen something utterly ridiculous.

Their laughter echoed on the empty official road, sounding particularly harsh.

A hint of anger flashed in the Nether Python’s eyes.

These damned humans really make this Monarch furious!

Swish!

The sharp sound of a whip tearing through the air came, stirring up a whistling wind.

The burly man sitting on the horse suddenly swung his whip, actually striking towards the Nether Python!

The whip, like a venomous snake, carried a fierce wind, heading straight for the Nether Python’s face.

The burly man’s face was filled with a sinister grin, clearly not caring about this “old fellow” at all, even carrying a hint of mockery.

Crack!

The whip quickly brushed past the Nether Python’s face, yet it didn’t leave even a single mark, as if it had struck a hard iron stone.

“Eh?” The burly man froze for a moment, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He clearly hadn’t expected his whip to have no effect on this “old fellow.”

However, before the burly man and his companions could react, the human old man transformed by the Nether Python suddenly began to rapidly expand.

Beneath the bursting skin, Chamblue scales slowly emerged, and its eyes flickered with a crimson glow.

“What…what is this?!” The burly man screamed in terror, his voice trembling slightly.

The next second, the Nether Python’s enormous maw suddenly opened, its deep, dark oral cavity resembling an endless abyss.

Its mouth rapidly expanded, forcibly swallowing the burly man, his companions, and even their horses and several meters of earth, all at once!

“No—!” The burly man’s scream abruptly ceased, and he instantly vanished into the Nether Python’s mouth.

The surrounding air seemed to have solidified, leaving only the Nether Python’s massive body and the lingering scent of blood from its mouth.

The Nether Python’s throat rolled, savoring the blood meal it had just devoured.

The next instant, the Nether Python stopped chewing and abruptly turned its head.

Only to see three humans slowly descending from the air.

“Sure enough, it’s you damned humans again.”

The Nether Python saw that among these three, there were two humans it was extremely familiar with.

Lu Xuan, Purple Yao!

At this moment, Lu Xuan and the other two were looking strangely at the Nether Python, or to be precise, at the humans it was chewing in its mouth.

Are they dumbfounded?

A few Refining Flesh Realm men, hitting a supreme Yao Beast of a Yao Lord with a whip.

If this were to spread, even if they died, they could become famous throughout the world.
