What a lucky world!

Chapter 174 Killing the Python

Lu Xuanxiu is the only one in the late stage of Yangye Realm in Qianyuan Wuzhai.

Although Zhang Mu is only in the middle stage of the Yangye Realm, he has unique skills, which are enough to deal with those in the late stage of the Yangye Realm who do not master the unique skills.

If the two of them join forces, there shouldn't be much danger.

Zhang Mu and Lu Xuanxiu exchanged glances and decided that it would be better to do it today than to wait for another day, so they walked out of the court hall together.

Wei Wuyou: ???

Then what should I do?

……

After leaving Qianyuan Village, Lu Xuanxiu took Zhang Mu all the way east.

Along the way, Zhang Mu also saw large tracts of fertile land cultivated by residents.

"The harvest from farming in the mountains can't compare to outside." Lu Xuanxiu noticed Zhang Mu's gaze and said, "Only the paddy fields along the river have a higher yield."

Zhang Mu nodded: "It's better than working outside for a year and not being able to eat a few grains of rice."

“There is no idle land in the world, yet farmers still starve to death.”

Lu Xuanxiu looked at Zhang Mu and continued, "There are still large areas of wasteland further inside Qianyuan Mountain. Even if the harvest is less, it would be better if we plant more."

"However, the number of demons in the deep mountains has increased. Although we haven't found a Sun-Swallowing Demon comparable to the Gathering Gallbladder Realm yet, we dare not expand into the area without dealing with it thoroughly."

Zhang Mu nodded in agreement. "Once the Frost Moon Mountain incident is over, I think we can organize the Wuzhai forces and expand a few hundred miles into the mountains. Let's take the land first, and then we can deal with the population problem later."

"Hundreds of miles?" Lu Xuanxiu chuckled and said, "With the foundation of the Tianji Sect, Qianyuan Village is only a hundred miles away. You are so arrogant, claiming it is hundreds of miles in one go."

Zhang Mu said confidently, "Uncle Lu, Wuzhai now has two more people, Han Zhou and I, in the middle stage of the Yangye Realm. Also, Shudaoshan and Xuanji are both in the Shiyue Realm, which is comparable to the Yangye Realm. It shouldn't be difficult to push them a few hundred miles further..."

Lu Xuanxiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know that there is a demon king in Qianyuan Mountain?"

"Demon King?"

"It is said that this is a demon raised by the Tianji Sect back then. During the battle, it was only a small demon at the Qi Condensation Realm. Relying on its innate magical powers, it escaped and hid in the mountains. Now it has cultivated to the Sun Swallowing Realm, comparable to the Condensation Realm of our human race."

"He has never done anything to us."

"If you really push in a few hundred miles further, you'll probably hit its territory."

"Then we'll talk about it later!" Zhang Mu frowned. "If it doesn't work out, I'll go talk to him after I advance to the Condensed Gallbladder Realm."

In Zhang Mu's plan, the base in the back mountain is not only important, but also has to be large in order to support the fortune of the stronghold's strength level being promoted.

"I will not allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed."

Lu Xuanxiu was a little surprised, then he smiled and walked away, exerting force on his feet and walking faster. Zhang Mu hurriedly circulated his energy and followed him.

……

After walking for about an hour and climbing over two mountains, Zhang Mu finally saw the valley that Lu Xuanxiu had mentioned.

It is better to say that it is a small plain than a valley. It is indeed as Lu Xuanxiu described. Even for training cavalry, as long as the number of people is not too large, they can be deployed.

Walking into the valley, Zhang Mu looked around and saw dense wild grass and a stream gurgling in the distance, which gave it a sense of poetry and distance.

"Are you ready?" Lu Xuanxiu said, "I'll lure the monster out."

Zhang Mu drew out the Shenying Sword and nodded.

The next moment, Lu Xuanxiu's entire body vibrated with energy, and a powerful aura emanated from him. Zhang Mu felt it up close and was nearly blown back a step by it.

In Zhang Mu's opinion, although both of them were in the late stage of Yangye Realm, Lu Xuanxiu was much stronger than Xu Lie from Sucheng.

At least if he and Ye Hanzhou were to face Lu Xuanxiu again with their cultivation at the early stage of the Yangye Realm, he didn't think they would be able to escape unscathed! Just as Zhang Mu was sighing in his heart, a gust of evil wind suddenly blew in the distance.

What kind of wind is the evil wind?

It's a cold wind with a fishy smell.

Zhang Mu's senses suddenly reached their limit, and then he saw a huge green python coming towards them. The snake's head was as big as a carriage, and its entire body was so long that it was impossible to see the end.

"Green-scaled demonic python!" Lu Xuanxiu shouted, "Be careful! Although this demonic python is not poisonous, it is extremely powerful. Once it is caught, even a Gathering Gallbladder Realm cultivator will be unable to save it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the demon python came in front of the two of them, and its tail suddenly hit Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu only felt a gust of wind blowing in his face, and the python's tail was coming at him, just like a dump truck roaring towards him in his previous life. He didn't dare to block it with his sword, but instead misstepped and narrowly avoided it.

At this time, a Guandao appeared in Lu Xuanxiu's hand, and he chopped down heavily on one of the eyes of the green-scaled python.

Zhang Mu remembered this martial art when he was browsing the mountain-copy martial arts before. It was called "Mountain-Splitting Sword Technique". It was the most powerful, but easy to learn but difficult to master.

I didn't expect that Master Lu's basic martial arts was this one.

The Guan Dao chopped down, and a crescent-shaped blade energy landed on the demon python's head. Sparks flew everywhere, but it did not cause much damage. However, it was obvious that the Green Scaled Demon Python was angered by Lu Xuanxiu, and it opened its bloody mouth and swallowed Lu Xuanxiu in one gulp!
"Get on the demon python's back!" Lu Xuanxiu shouted, "Find his weak spot!"

"I'll cover you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xuanxiu swung out several swords again, and several sword auras hit the demon python together.

Zhang Mu said nothing more, and immediately jumped onto the back of the demon python. The demon python's back was more than a meter wide, but it was not flat, and the scales were very slippery, so Zhang Mu stumbled a little when he stood on it, and with the giant python constantly tumbling, he almost fell off.

Fortunately, Zhang Mu reacted quickly, and the Yuan Qi in the middle stage of the nourishing liquid suddenly burst out, allowing Zhang Mu to perform an effect similar to a "thousand-pound weight", and then he gradually stood firm.

As soon as he stood firm, Zhang Mu noticed a dark green scale the size of a basketball on the back of the giant python, which was obviously different from the surrounding green scales. He roughly looked at the location and estimated that it was the so-called seven-inch point.

However, in just a moment, the giant python's tail attacked Zhang Mu on its back again. Unlike the previous tail swing, this time the python's tail was like a spear tip, stabbing Zhang Mu fiercely.

Zhang Mu had already sensed the changes behind him. He turned around in the face of crisis and stabbed out with the Shenying sword in his hand, which just happened to hit the tip of the python's tail. The Shenying sword visibly bent, and the next moment, the blade suddenly straightened. Zhang Mu used the rebound force to retreat quickly. The Shenying sword pierced into the scales, bringing up sparks, and finally stopped in front of the dark green scale!

Zhang Mu turned his wrist, and the Shenying Sword immediately penetrated through the gap between the scales.

At this moment, the python seemed to sense the danger and turned around to bite Zhang Mu, but Lu Xuanxiu swung out another huge sword energy and smashed the python's head to the ground.

Zhang Mu also knew that time was running out, so he increased his strength and tried to pry the scales up.

The python monster ignored Lu Xuanxiu's attack and rolled over, trying to throw Zhang Mu down. Just as it hoped, Zhang Mu was thrown out by the huge force, but at the moment Zhang Mu flew out, the dark green scale was knocked open by Zhang Mu, revealing the snow-white snake meat underneath.

Zhang Mu fell to the ground like a fallen leaf. The furious python raised its tail high and smashed it towards Zhang Mu. If Zhang Mu was hit hard by this blow, he would be seriously injured if not killed. At this moment, Lu Xuanxiu appeared in front of Zhang Mu. He shouted loudly, jumped high, and rushed towards the falling snake's tail with the sword in his hand. The next moment, Lu Xuanxiu was smashed to the ground like a ball, but at the same time, the movement of the snake's tail also stopped!
At the moment when Lu Xuanxiu jumped up with his knife, Zhang Mu also jumped up quickly again and landed on the back of the python monster again. He found the snow-white snake meat and stabbed it with the Shenying sword in his hand. The rolling Yuan Qi flowed along the sword body and turned into a sword energy that spurted out from the tip of the sword.

Seven inches below is the heart.

Zhang Mu clearly felt that after his Yuanxi sword energy pierced the snake flesh, it pierced through something soft.

The python monster that was stabbed by the long sword stood up with its entire front body, as if it was in great pain. It began to roll violently and knocked Zhang Mu down again.

Lu Xuanxiu caught Zhang Mu who fell down, and took him back quickly, watching the python monster struggle.

After about a full cup of tea, the python demon finally stopped moving and fell limply to the ground.

"Is he dead?" Zhang Mu asked.

Lu Xuanxiu shook his head: "Wait a little longer, be careful of his dying counterattack!"

Zhang Mu nodded, his eyes suddenly falling on the python monster's belly, where there was a small circle that was much wider than the surrounding area.

"Master Lu, there seems to be something in the python monster's stomach!"
