The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 521 Hanyu Peak White Snake Valley
Wu Du was never someone who would live or die with the Ming Cult. He became wary when Wu Chengyu revealed his true identity. Since this Wu Chengyu was pretending to be Deyun Gangzi and causing trouble, and there was a group of experts hiding on Bright Peak, these arrangements were definitely not simple.

Sure enough, when Wu Chengyu stood atop the white marble pillar and gave the order, the Beiwei Army led the Five Elements Battalion out to attack, he knew something terrible was about to happen.

Wu Chengyu alone was enough to wipe out all of them, the Beiwei Army was enough to eliminate the more than 1,000 wounded Ming Cult disciples present, not to mention the rebellious Five Elements Camp and the tens of thousands of troops surrounding the mountain.

So his only thought at the time was to run away as soon as possible. However, as soon as the Beiwei Army appeared, Li Geda immediately entangled him. Although his skill was slightly deeper, they were still at the same level, and he couldn't get rid of them in time.

But in that short period of entanglement, he witnessed the appearance of the rebel leader, Hong Niangzi, and the successive deaths of Yang Xu and Fang Yaning. This showed that the tide had truly turned, and he dared not stay there any longer.

Wu Du gritted his teeth, steeled his heart, and risked taking a blow from Li Geda. His left arm was almost cut off by Li Geda, and he used this opportunity to spray a large amount of poison.

The Beiwei soldiers around him had all eaten the gallbladder of the Bosqu snake, so they wouldn't die immediately. But he finally found a gap, desperately fought his way out of the crowd, and ran wildly down the mountain. Li Geda was about to chase after him when Wu Chengyu called him back.

"Geda, lead the brothers of the Beiwei Army to protect Hongniangzi. Next, we must clean up all the Ming Cult disciples on Bright Peak. Those who are stubborn and unrepentant will be executed, and those who surrender will also be distinguished."

I can't do these trivial things; only your mistress has the patience and strategy. Your task now is to protect the mistress's safety.

As for this Wu Du, leave him to me. He not only poisoned you, but he also poisoned me before.

"I had no grudge against him, and he posed no threat to me, yet they still poisoned him. It's very inexplicable. It can't be that this question remains even after he's dead."

Wu Du's figure had already disappeared. His lightness skill was not weak, and he was familiar with the terrain of Bright Peak, so he ran extremely fast. It was just a pity that if Wu Chengyu wanted to chase someone, who could really escape?

Wu Chengyu nodded to Hong Niangzi and used his lightness skill to chase after her. After a few breaths, Wu Du's figure reappeared. Wu Du turned around and saw Wu Chengyu chasing after him. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he ran away desperately again.

With Wu Chengyu's skills, how could he possibly escape? But just as Wu Chengyu was about to capture him in one fell swoop, he suddenly realized that Wu Du's escape method was a bit strange.

The path was heading deeper into the Kunlun Mountains, which was to be expected. The Kunlun Mountains were vast and boundless. If they could break through the encirclement of the rebel army and venture deeper into the Kunlun Mountains, even Wu Chengyu would find it very troublesome.

But this guy was clearly not running blindly; he was consciously heading towards a specific place with a very clear goal. Wu Chengyu even felt that this guy seemed to be actively leading him to a certain place.

Wu Chengyu became interested. This Wu Du was always a ruthless and calm person. At this time, the Ming Cult was finished, and he was still thinking of counterattacking while he was running away, so he must have some means of counterattack.

Wu Chengyu immediately stopped accelerating and just hung there at a distance, while Wu Du maintained a constant speed, occasionally looking back to check Wu Chengyu's position, while moving towards the predetermined target.

Both seemed to understand each other's purpose, but both were confident in themselves. The difference lay in whether the methods left behind by Wu Du were capable of restraining Wu Chengyu.

At this moment, the two were heading west of Bright Peak. The longer they ran, the more Wu Chengyu noticed that the temperature around them dropped. The two chased and fled for more than half an hour, covering dozens of miles, but the temperature dropped by at least twenty degrees.

It was clear that Wu Du was about to give up, but he was not far from his destination. He turned back to look at Wu Chengyu one last time, gave a provocative smile, and then plunged headfirst into a mountain peak.

This mountain peak was somewhat strange. When Wu Chengyu saw Wu Du disappear into a deep valley halfway up the mountain, he did not immediately chase after him. Instead, he looked up at the mountaintop.

The higher you go up the mountain, the lower the temperature gets. Wu Chengyu estimates that the current temperature is at least minus thirty degrees Celsius, and the temperature at the top of the mountain is probably even lower, possibly minus fifty degrees Celsius.

At this moment, Wu Chengyu suddenly remembered what Pang Kun had mentioned about the origin of the Cold Jade. The earliest ancestors of the Hou Tu Camp discovered the Cold Jade on a mountain west of Guangming Peak, which led to the Cold Jade Box.

Later, for some reason, the mountain became increasingly cold. In addition, the jade was too hard and mining it was extremely time-consuming. They simply could not persevere on the mountaintop, and so they gradually lost the opportunity to mine the jade.

When Wu Chengyu heard what Pang Kun said, he treated it as a story. Although a thought flashed through his mind, he didn't grasp it and later forgot about it.

Now, Wu Du had actually deliberately lured him here. Could it be that there was something here that he could use as a trump card? Wu Chengyu really couldn't think of anything for the moment. It couldn't possibly be something that would freeze him to death, could it?

With Wu Chengyu's extraordinary body after his transformation and his unparalleled internal strength, even if there were severe cold that could freeze him to death, Wu Du would probably be frozen stiff first.

Most importantly, the temperature on the mountaintop must be around minus fifty degrees Celsius. People and animals alike would probably stay far away. But then a flash of inspiration struck Wu Chengyu. He suddenly felt that there must be something he needed on the mountaintop.

However, now is not the time to consider these things. The most urgent task is to capture Wu Du and find out what this guy's trump card is, that he actually thinks he can deal with a top expert like me.

Wu Chengyu accelerated again and entered the deep valley. Unexpectedly, the temperature inside the valley was surprisingly warm, a world apart from the outside.

Moreover, the further in you go, the higher the temperature becomes, accompanied by heavier moisture and higher humidity. A layer of white vapor even surrounds the back of the deep valley, as if it were shrouded in clouds and mist.

As his vision was obstructed, Wu Chengyu heard countless hissing sounds, as if countless small creatures were lurking in the clouds behind the deep valley. A slight smile played on Wu Chengyu's lips; he roughly understood what Wu Du's trump card was—it seemed quite formidable indeed.

He stepped into the clouds, but did not go deep. Sure enough, within a range of less than ten meters of visibility, he could see countless snakes coiled up. They were so numerous that they were densely packed in just ten meters. He wondered how many more were beyond that range.

These snakes were entirely white, some as thick as a child's arm and three or four meters long. Their heads were triangular, clearly indicating they were venomous snakes. With a hissing sound, the venomous gas spewed from their mouths mingled with the cloud mist. Once inside the cloud mist, one could immediately smell its stench.

Wu Du finally stopped running away. He sat on a rock ten meters away, his figure indistinct. He was bandaging his wounds and had a cold smile on his face as he watched Wu Chengyu actually come in.

"Should I say you're highly skilled and daring, or just too confident and reckless, that you actually dared to rush in? Wu Chengyu, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you'll have a hard time getting out of here alive today."

Wu Chengyu looked around and immediately realized that this was a snake valley. It was winter, and the weather was freezing cold, especially on Hanyu Peak, where the temperature was nearly minus thirty degrees Celsius just halfway up the mountain. Even snakes should have been hibernating long ago.

But nature is so amazing. In the valley halfway up the cold mountain, there is a hot spring. The hot spring is quite hot, making the whole valley hot and humid, which has become an excellent place for snakes to graze.

“What a wonderful place. No wonder you are the Snake King. You managed to find such a spot. The venomous snakes in this valley must have been released by you.”

Wu Du was very proud: "That's right, this is the last trump card of my Wu family. My Wu family used to associate with snakes. Later, we followed the Ming Cult to this Bright Peak. By chance, we discovered this treasure land. After nearly a hundred years of hard work by five generations of my Wu family, we finally turned this place into a snake valley."

We captured different venomous snakes from the Kunlun Mountains and brought them here, letting them devour each other or mate, eventually cultivating this white snake. Not only is its venom extremely potent, but its scales also make it impervious to swords and blades. Over the past hundred years, I don't even know how many snakes have lived here.

The Wu family members had to practice their skills in this Snake Valley from a young age, living among snakes and gradually integrating snake venom into their bodies, eventually being regarded as one of their own by these venomous snakes.

My Wu family also mastered the ultimate poison skills through this Snake Valley. Starting with my grandfather's generation, we became the Dharma Kings of the Ming Cult. In the last three generations, the Snake King has been one of the Four Dharma Kings. In my generation, I have become the Left Guardian of Light.

Unfortunately, after five generations of struggle and three generations of Dharma Kings, we were about to achieve great success, but you destroyed the Ming Cult and shattered the Wu family's century-old ambitions.

Wu Chengyu, you deserve to die. I am now outnumbered and outmatched, and I may not be able to defeat the rebel army, but you must die here today.

There are at least tens of thousands of snakes here, all obeying my commands. In a moment, you will suffer the agony of being devoured by ten thousand snakes. I will not let you die immediately, but I will make you beg me to kill you. Who would have thought that a top-notch master would one day die at my hands?

"Don't even think about escaping. This moisture is infused with snake venom. You were already poisoned the moment you entered. I deliberately said all this to trigger the venom in your body. Your strength will gradually disappear, and even if you crawl, you won't be able to escape this snake valley."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Du could no longer suppress his killing intent. He made a hissing sound similar to that of the white snakes around him, and the white snakes around him began to stir and flick their tongues under his command. If someone with trypophobia saw this, they would probably faint immediately.

But Wu Chengyu didn't move. He tilted his head and smiled. The snakes, apart from stirring, didn't actually move forward. Instead, they became uneasy and, under Wu Du's command and urging, were caught in a dilemma, becoming even more impatient.

Only Wu Du's face turned extremely ugly after issuing commands repeatedly to no avail: "You guys move! Go bite him to death! Move!" But the snakes still did not obey his commands.

"Isn't it strange that you didn't notice these snakes are afraid of me?"
Now I finally understand why you had someone poison me back then. We had no grudges against each other, and I posed no threat to your position. It seems that you felt instinctively uncomfortable and fearful when you saw me, so you took the initiative to get rid of me.

Your Wu family has lived among snakes for generations, and you have developed snake-like traits. Snake venom has even invaded your bloodline, so it's normal for you to be frightened when you see me. But you are not snakes after all, so you don't know why you feel this way; it's just an instinctive resistance.

But the snakes here aren't human; they follow their instincts more. In your eyes, Wu Du, I am human, but in their eyes, I am the supreme ruler of snakes; they must submit to me.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Chengyu channeled all his inner strength, and white scales gradually appeared on his skin. His aura was no longer human, but rather like that of a demon.

The tens of thousands of venomous snakes in Snake Valley all lowered their heads and lay prostrate on the ground, no longer daring to flick their tongues or make a sound, displaying extreme humility.

To think that snakes could be used against Wu Chengyu is truly wishful thinking. The snakes in Snake Valley have been cultivated by the Wu family for a hundred years and are definitely the most venomous snakes.

However, the Bosqu Snake is an unusual species among snakes. In this low-level martial arts world, the Bosqu Snake is the royal family of snakes, and the Bosqu Snake King, whose gall bladder was swallowed by Wu Chengyu, is the supreme royal family, a god-like existence among snakes. In a different supernatural world, it might have transformed into a spirit.

Having inherited the essence of the gallbladder of the Bosqu Snake King, Wu Chengyu was like a god in this Snake Valley, and no venomous snake dared to resist him.

Wu Du was also dumbfounded. After the change in Wu Chengyu's aura, even though he was not a snake, he finally felt a similar effect of bloodline suppression.

Wu Chengyu slowly walked to his side, while Wu Du had lost all will to resist and could only smile bitterly as he faced his final fate, until Wu Chengyu pointed his finger at the center of his forehead.
