Chapter 1494: Chapter 1406: The Mysterious Figure
Time ticked by, second by second.
Before long, a voice sounded: "Lady Python, be careful."
Immediately afterward, Lady Python asked, "Holy Envoy, you say you’ve discovered traces of a human cultivator. Is that true?"
"Absolutely true, and for some reason, the other party seems to be injured," Luo Dan’s voice sounded again. "I happened upon this by accident. It’s a great merit. If Lady Python can capture and kill that human cultivator alone, avenging the White Tiger, the Flood Dragon King will surely hold you in high esteem. Then, dual cultivation with you might even be possible."
Lady Python was clearly eager about this matter. She chuckled, "Holy Envoy, you do know how to speak. It seems I misjudged you before. Alright, quickly tell me, where is that human cultivator?"
Luo Dan whispered, "Right up ahead, in the Black Wind Cave."
As they spoke, Luo Dan and Lady Python’s figures appeared not far from the Black Wind Cave.
Luo Dan pointed at the Black Wind Cave: "The human cultivator is hiding inside."
Lady Python glanced at Luo Dan, suddenly sneered coldly, and transformed into a giant python dozens of meters long, emitting a sharp hissing sound from her mouth.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
Immediately, roars erupted from the surroundings.
Countless half-demons and beasts surged from all around, surrounding the Black Wind Cave completely.
Luo Dan’s expression changed drastically.
She had been trying to persuade Lady Python to come alone, planning to assassinate her effortlessly.
But unexpectedly, Lady Python had secretly arranged everything, not trusting her at all.
"Lady Python, what, what is your intention?" Luo Dan’s face changed slightly, turning somewhat pale.
Lady Python glanced at Luo Dan, sneered: "Holy Envoy, do you truly think I would trust you? Ha ha, I suspected you were colluding with the human cultivator before. Now you suddenly claim to have discovered traces of human cultivators, perhaps already scheming with them, planning to attack me, right?"
Luo Dan had never expected Lady Python to be so clever. Despite appearing calm before, her eyes now flickered, trembling as she said, "Lady Python, you’re truly joking. How is that possible?"
"Hmph, possible or not, I will make my own judgment!"
Lady Python ignored Luo Dan completely, simply waved her hand.
A towering half-demon burly figure stepped forward, his stature suddenly swelling, transforming into a giant bear five meters tall.
The giant bear roared, shouting towards the Black Wind Cave, "Hurry and come out, or don’t blame us for being rude!"
Around them, dozens of half-demons and several hundred beasts densely clustered.
Lady Python even wore a cold smile, appearing victorious.
Luo Dan’s forehead was already sweating coldly.
She never calculated such intelligence from Lady Python.
What to do?
Although she reached a cooperation with Ye Guichen, if trapped here and Ye Guichen and his allies, in their desperate struggle, revealed her plans, she’d never leave the Northern Wilderness.
In an instant, Luo Dan’s eyes darted about and she found herself at a loss.
At that moment, a sound pierced the sky.
Then, a yellow talisman flew out from the cave.
The talisman, upon emerging, transformed into a sharp blade, directly piercing the Black Bear’s brow.
The Black Bear didn’t even have time to react, collapsing instantly.
The next moment, a figure floated elegantly out of the Black Wind Cave.
The person wore a long robe, rich garments fluttering in the breeze, holding an iron fan in the right hand, while clutching a piece of talisman paper in the left, suspended in mid-air: "We do not wish to be entangled with your Demon Clan. If you don’t want to die, get out of here immediately!"
Lady Python, hearing that, directly laughed: "Ha ha, by your words, you wish not to tangle with us even after killing our great demon? You think you can escape death this way? Well then, let’s see you taste the prowess of our Demon Clan!"
Lady Python utterly disbelieved the other’s words and ordered: "Devour him!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Beastly roars reverberated throughout the forest.
No matter the demon beast, they charged fiercely at the person holding the iron fan.
The person wielding the iron fan raised an eyebrow, seeing the opposition showing no intention of leaving, but merely snorted coldly, throwing the talisman paper outward: "Puppets, manifest!"
The talisman paper, as it flew outward, ignited rapidly.
After burning, four humanoid figures suddenly appeared momentarily.
The four figures, upon emerging, already rushed towards the demon beasts.
Yet, upon closer inspection, the four figures were not living beings but puppet-like constructs.
Nonetheless, their movements were extremely nimble, with both arms turned into weapons, having no fingers.
One puppet, after appearing, raised a foot and kicked out, slicing off a beast’s head cleanly.
Another puppet was equally deft, striking swiftly with hand-blade, skillfully slicing off the heads of several beasts.
The four puppets moved agilely, seeming almost to overwhelm the demon beasts.
Witnessing the scene, both Lady Python and Luo Dan were shocked, displaying utter disbelief.
She didn’t recognize who made the move.
What’s going on?
Could it be that Ye Guichen has allies she doesn’t know about?
Luo Dan scanned around, trying to find traces of Ye Guichen, but he and his comrades remained deeply hidden, eluding discovery.
At this moment, Ye Guichen also widened his eyes, incredibly astonished.
This method was utterly unheard of.
Moreover, that piece of talisman paper was unexpectedly so magical.
These four wooden puppets, even if they were not at the Golden Core Realm, they must be at the Foundation Establishment Peak.
"Who exactly are they?" Ye Guichen asked subconsciously.
Chu Yuanchen also shook his head, indicating his confusion.
Lady Python saw the opponent’s ruthless means and knew that continuing the fight would be futile, her body suddenly shivered.
The scale armor on her body detached, transforming into countless arrow feathers, flying towards the four wooden puppets and the person wielding the iron fan.
Clang clang clang!
Two of the wooden puppets were hit on the spot.
Due to the strong penetrating force, they were directly shattered.
The other two wooden puppets, seeing the bad situation, quickly shielded the person wielding the iron fan.
As the arrow feathers made from the scale armor were about to hit the person with the iron fan, the two wooden puppets spread their arms, intercepting all the arrow feathers.
The bodies of the four wooden puppets exploded, turning into wood shavings.
The person with the iron fan looked livid, "Devil Snake, I have no grudge against you. We came not to trouble your Demon Clan, yet you destroyed my four puppets. This enmity today, I will not let go lightly!"
As he spoke, the person wielding the iron fan waved the fan in his hand, which emitted a buzzing sound as it spun towards Lady Python.
The iron fan was extremely fast, and any demon beast blocking its path was instantly sliced in half.
Seeing this, Lady Python also felt the iron fan’s power, knowing she couldn’t block it, her body shook, her tail wrapped around several demon beasts, and flung them outward.
Those demon beasts roared as they flew towards the iron fan, but unsurprisingly, they were instantly sliced in half by the iron fan.
However, this brief obstruction significantly reduced the iron fan’s momentum.
Taking this opportunity, Lady Python lunged forward, raising her head and opening her mouth, attempting to bite the iron fan.
"Arrogant!" Seeing Lady Python trying to resist the iron fan with her teeth, the person holding the fan sneered.
However, in the next second, Lady Python unexpectedly spat out a human head.
The head let out a sinister laugh and bit onto the folding fan, crunching it into bits in an instant.
"Hehehe!"
Lady Python smiled smugly, her tongue twirling, swallowing the head back into her stomach, then charged at the person holding the folding fan.
The person’s expression changed dramatically.
Unexpectedly, this python had such a method, even refining a terrifying human head.
"Truly a beast!"
The person wielding the folding fan was furious, charging at Lady Python bare-handed.
However, the other demon beasts weren’t idle.
They saw the person with the iron fan had lost his weapon and crazily pounced on him.
The person with the iron fan snorted coldly, not taking them seriously, each punch blasting a demon beast away as he charged at Lady Python.
No sooner said than done, Lady Python was already close.
Her massive snake body was more than ten times larger than the person’s frame.
Her mouth opened, ready to bite the person with the folding fan.
Though not weak in cultivation, the person was entangled by numerous demon beasts, considerably distracted.
As Lady Python’s large mouth was about to swallow the person, an attractive scolding voice rang out: "Junior Brother Liu, it’s just a snake, yet you put up such a fuss, shaming our Qianji Sect’s name!"
As the words fell, another piece of talisman paper flew out from Black Wind Cave.
The talisman paper burned mid-air, transforming into a large net, instantly ensnaring Lady Python’s head.
Lady Python’s mouth couldn’t open, as she struggled, the net tightened, directly shredding Lady Python’s head into pieces.
Lady Python’s body fell heavily to the ground.
The remaining demon beasts were dumbfounded seeing Lady Python dead, hesitated for a moment, then immediately fled, not daring to stay longer.
Luo Dan swallowed hard.
The opponent’s methods were bizarre.
And it seemed they hadn’t exerted much effort to kill Lady Python.
Could he indeed be in league with Ye Guichen?
Luo Dan felt conflicted, unsure whether to quickly leave.
At this moment, a figure dressed in green flew out from Black Wind Cave.
It was a woman.
She looked like she was in her twenties, slightly older than the person with the iron fan.
After flying out, the woman in green spread her hand, producing an object resembling a storage pouch.
She opened the small pouch, muttering a couple of words.
The demon cores of the slain beasts flew out from their bodies and fell into the pouch.
Even the corpse of Lady Python was collected by the woman in green.
After finishing all this, the woman in green lifted her head proudly, snorted at the person holding the folding fan, and her gaze fell on Luo Dan, "Are you a Corpse Cultivator?"
