Withered Wood Horned Python

Chu Mu stared coldly at Wei Hong. It was Wei Hong who threw the bag at him, intending to attract the python's attention and take the Qing Lan Holy Fruit first. However, he did not expect that the python was not only incredibly fast, but also not stupid enough to be fooled, causing Wei Hong's plan to fail.

Wei Hong's expression kept changing. His face was a little pale, and his heart was filled with shock.

"Let's work together." Suddenly, Wei Hong turned to look at Chu Mu and said. Without waiting for Chu Mu to respond, he continued, "This python is called the Dead Wood Horned Python. It's a high-level beast and its strength is very strong. It's equivalent to a swordsman at the peak of the tenth stage of the Sword Qi Realm. Furthermore, the Withered Wood Horned Python was extremely fast and powerful. Its skin was abnormally tough. Even the Hundred Refined Sword with Sword Qi attached to it would find it difficult to injure it. Only the fake sword with Sword Qi attached to it would be able to cause obvious damage to it. In addition, it can spray venom that contains terrible poison. Even a tenth stage swordsman will die within a few breaths. It's extremely terrifying. Under these conditions, the strength of the Dead Wood Horned Python is stronger than the average tenth stage swordsman. I'm not sure if I can kill it alone. "

"Why should I work with you? As long as you want to get the Qing Lan Holy Fruit, you must deal with it unless you give up the fruit." Chu Mu said coldly. For someone like Wei Hong, if he teamed up with him, he might scheme behind his back.

"You … Don't you want the Qing Lan Holy Fruit?" Wei Hong showed a hint of anger. He almost exploded and killed Chu Mu first. However, he knew that Chu Mu's strength was extraordinary. When he was in the early ninth stage, he could compete with him. Now that he was at the peak of the ninth stage, his strength must be stronger than before. Although he was not as strong as himself, he estimated that he could compete with a tenth stage swordsman.

Only by joining forces with Chu Mu would they be able to kill the Withered Wood Horned Python as soon as possible and avoid unnecessary casualties.

"Let me tell you, the Withered Wood Horned Python's horn has the effect of a medicinal catalyst. After it is ground into powder and consumed together with other Spiritual Medicines, the medicinal effect of the Spiritual Medicine can be maximized." After Wei Hong suppressed his anger, he revealed a secret that Chu Mu did not know. "That is to say, after obtaining the Holy Fruit of Qing Lan, grinding the horn of the Dead Wood Horned Python into powder can be used as a catalyst to maximize the efficacy of Qing Lan."

Hearing what Wei Hong said, Chu Mu was immediately moved.

Under normal circumstances, it would be considered good if one could absorb sixty to seventy percent of the medicinal efficacy of a spiritual herb. Thirty to forty percent of the medicinal efficacy would be precipitated or even eliminated, resulting in a waste. However, if what Wei Hong said was true, then the effects of the Holy Fruit of Qing Lan would be at least 80% or even 90%.

In this way, the improvement of one's cultivation talent would be even more obvious.

"Don't worry, I swear on my honor as a swordsman that I will never do anything to you before killing the Withered Wood Horned Python." Wei Hong said with a serious face. "After killing the Withered Wood Horned Python, we will see who gets the Holy Fruit of Qing Lan. Don't tell me you have no confidence in yourself?"

In the end, Wei Hong tried to provoke him.

"Alright, let's join forces for the time being." Chu Mu said. Wei Hong's eyes flashed with a touch of joy. He thought that Chu Mu was provoked by him. Little did he know that Chu Mu had his own ideas.

Chu Mu was determined to get the Holy Fruit of Qing Lan. However, in order to get the Holy Fruit of Qing Lan, he had to deal with the Withered Wood Horned Python. In the beginning, Chu Mu's idea was to seize the opportunity to get the Holy Fruit of Qing Lan while Wei Hong was fighting with the Withered Wood Horned Python. However, now that he heard that the Withered Wood Horned Python's horn could be used as a catalyst, he was naturally tempted. Chu Mu felt that unless he used the simplified version of the State of Wind, he would not be able to defeat the Withered Wood Horned Python.

However, he only had one chance. Once he used it, his sword aura would be depleted and he would need time to recover. After thinking about it, the best way was to join forces with Wei Hong and let Wei Hong be the main force. He would assist from the side and kill the Withered Wood Horned Python first.

As for the so-called honor of a swordsman, it was indeed very important to some swordsmen. However, it was not necessarily the case for some swordsmen. Chu Mu would not take Wei Hong's words seriously.

"Very well. When the time comes, you will attract the Withered Wood Horned Python's attention and let it attack you. You will temporarily hold the Withered Wood Horned Python while I perform the killing move to severely injure the Withered Wood Horned Python. It will be easier to kill it when the time comes," Wei Hong said quickly, directly defining the roles for himself and Chu Mu.

"Okay." This was in line with Chu Mu's intention. In this way, he only needed to use his usual strength to fight with the Withered Wood Horned Python and did not need to expose his full strength.

"It's good that you agree. It seems that the Withered Wood Horned Python will not leave Ancient Qinglan, so we have to take the initiative to attack and fight with the Withered Wood Horned Python again. We have to find a chance to kill it." Wei Hong's eyes flashed with a touch of joy. He said, "But before that, we have to stop them from fighting."

As soon as his voice fell, Wei Hong turned around and shouted, "Everyone, stop!"

The two sides who were fighting fiercely heard the sound like a muffled thunder. Their movements paused slightly and they looked over. As a result, they saw Chu Mu and Wei Hong standing together and had no intention of fighting. They could not help but be stunned and confused.

"Stop first. This time, the two of us have to work together to kill the Withered Wood Horned Python," Wei Hong said briefly and Chu Mu nodded. Suddenly, everyone understood that there must be a powerful beast guarding the Holy Fruit of Qinglan on the Ancient Qinglan Tree. Because it was too powerful, Chu Mu and Wei Hong had to temporarily put aside their hostility and join forces.

Since Chu Mu and Wei Hong had temporarily joined forces, there was no need for them to continue fighting. At least for now. However, after the previous battle, both sides had suffered casualties.

Seeing that the two sides had stopped fighting, Chu Mu and Wei Hong looked at each other and nodded. They turned into two streamers and quickly flew toward the Ancient Qinglan Tree. This time, they were all mentally prepared. They wouldn't be in such a sorry state like before.

With two whooshing sounds, two figures rushed almost side by side to the Ancient Qinglan Tree. They used this method to lure the Withered Wood Horned Python out and let it take the initiative to attack. Otherwise, it would not be easy to find it.

Sure enough, when Chu Mu and Wei Hong rushed toward the Ancient Qinglan Tree at the same time, another sour smell spread. A dark green arrow shot toward Wei Hong, and at the same time, a brown figure shot toward Chu Mu like lightning.

A strong sense of crisis exploded in his body, making Chu Mu feel a little numb all over. Between the vibration of his blood and Qi, Chu Mu channeled the Sword Qi of the peak of the ninth stage. The Sword Qi was attached to the blade and poured into the Fake Qingfeng Sword. The Sword Qi was crisscrossed and a strong wind blew out.

With the fusion of the wind concept, the sword's might was even more powerful. Instantly, it clashed with the brown figure. Chu Mu only felt a powerful collision force come at him. The fake Clear Wind Sword shook, and the sword aura attached to the blade was instantly scattered. His hand went numb, and he had no choice but to use a technique to disperse the force.

Under this attack, the Withered Wood Horned Python's body slightly paused and revealed itself. Wei Hong's eyes were filled with a shocking murderous intent. With a low shout, the Sword Qi attached to the blade slashed out. In an instant, a gorgeous red Sword Light shot toward the Withered Wood Horned Python. The surrounding air became scorching hot and boiling, making a sizzling sound.

Hiss … The Withered Wood Horned Python felt Wei Hong's sword with a strong killing intent. It was suddenly shocked and hurriedly turned its body to retreat. However, its collision with Chu Mu made its body slightly stiffen. When it wanted to turn around to dodge, it was a little slow and was immediately hit by Wei Hong's sword.

With a boom, like sparks falling on oil, the fiery red light contaminated the Withered Wood Horned Python and it immediately burned. Under the huge power of the sword, the Withered Wood Horned Python's body fell down like a meteorite. It heavily smashed into the trunk of the Ancient Qinglan Tree and bounced up.

"Kill!" Wei Hong's eyes widened, as if there were flames erupting from them, his sword turned into a huge fire python as he suddenly used his middle tier killer move, letting out a rumbling roar as he bit towards the dead wood horned python.

The Withered Wood Horned Python's body shook and the flames on its skin were dispersed. It opened its mouth and spat out a dark green venom. When it collided with the fire python, it made a sizzling sound and turned into a faint green smoke that rose up in spirals. A sour smell filled the surroundings.

Immediately after, the Withered Wood Horned Python's body bent and bounced. The air seemed to be torn apart and there was a loud whistling sound. It turned into a brown lightning bolt and pierced through the remaining fire python and shot toward Wei Hong. It opened its mouth as if it wanted to swallow Wei Hong in one gulp.

Chu Mu stabbed out with his sword and it turned into a breeze. With the addition of Sword Qi, the pseudo Breeze Sword became even sharper. It pierced the Withered Wood Horned Python's body and the Sword Qi exploded, causing the Withered Wood Horned Python's body to tremble and its speed to decrease abruptly.

Wei Hong seized the opportunity and used his Intermediate Killer Move again. He turned into a fire python and let out a loud rumbling sound. The air boiled and exploded again as he charged at the Withered Wood Horned Python.

Under the cooperation of the two geniuses, the Withered Wood Horned Python was finally unable to dodge this move and was directly hit by Wei Hong's Intermediate Killer Move.

The same Killer Move would have different power when used by different swordsmen. In addition, there was also the purity of the Sword Qi and the quality of the sword. There would be an obvious difference.

The power of Wei Hong's Intermediate Killer Move was extremely terrifying. With one sword, it directly cut open the Withered Wood Horned Python's tough skin. The intense heat under the incomparably powerful Sword Qi blasted into the Withered Wood Horned Python's body and burned its blood.

The Withered Wood Horned Python's body suddenly trembled and violently trembled. It let out a mournful hiss and was abnormally uncomfortable.

Chu Mu lifted his eyelids and a shocking sharpness circulated within. In an instant, the sword turned into twenty-four chilling murderous intents and swept out. Like a storm of murderous intents, they enveloped the struggling Withered Wood Horned Python.

One after another, the murderous intents bombarded the Withered Wood Horned Python's body. Chu Mu's pseudo Breeze Sword also pierced out. It paused for a moment as if it had pierced through something tough. The tip of the pseudo Breeze Sword pierced into the Withered Wood Horned Python's tough skin. The Sword Qi surged and exploded, exploding a bloody hole and causing the Withered Wood Horned Python's body to twitch violently. It was injured again.

Unforgiving, Wei Hong's pseudo sword was extremely sharp. Under the fiery red scorching Sword Qi, each sword slashed out and cut open the Withered Wood Horned Python's skin. Each sword cut open the Withered Wood Horned Python's skin, leaving behind wounds and evaporating all the blood.

If it was a one on one situation, it would not be so easy to kill the Withered Wood Horned Python. They would have to use all their strength and go through a tough battle. If they were not careful, they might even be injured.

However, under the powerful cooperation of Chu Mu and Wei Hong, their strength increased by a lot. The two of them also had a good grasp of the timing of their attacks. With a deliberate plan, the Withered Wood Horned Python ended up in a miserable state.

The Withered Wood Horned Python's vitality was abnormally shocking. Even after being injured multiple times, it still did not die. Under its ferocious nature, it actually fought in a suicidal manner. It opened its mouth wide and spat out a large amount of dark green venom like a high-pressure water gun.

Chu Mu and Wei Hong were shocked and quickly retreated. No one was willing to touch a trace of the venom. The Withered Wood Horned Python twisted its scarred body and turned into a brown arrow, shooting into the sky.

"Oh no, this beast wants to swallow the Qinglan Holy Fruit!" Wei Hong's expression changed greatly. He hurriedly rushed forward and killed it with his sword. Chu Mu did not fall behind. He also rushed into the sky and attacked the Withered Wood Horned Python with his sword.

The injured Withered Wood Horned Python became much weaker after spitting out a large amount of venom. Its speed was also much slower. In a short time, Wei Hong and Chu Mu caught up with it. The two swords attacked and once again broke through its tough skin. The Sword Qi poured in and exploded. Once again, two bloody holes were blasted open and the Withered Wood Horned Python was blown away.
