His Grandma's Young Master and Fair Lady

During the time Lu Chen and the other person were hunting Demonic Beasts, someone jokingly told Nantian Yijian that his zither playing was very nice.

At first, everyone was just teasing him, but after Nantian Yijian listened to himself play once, he truly felt his zither playing was heavenly. He would wear a plain white robe every day and play in the tent. Eventually, everyone couldn't stand it anymore and kicked Nantian Yijian out.

Nantian Yijian, lacking any self-awareness, instead mocked everyone for being uncultured and started playing outside the camp.

"Tzila tzila..."

"Hualah hualah..."

"..."

The moment Nantian Yijian started playing, the surrounding Cultivators began to curse.

"Who is that? I'm going to kill him..."

"Don't stop me."

"Let's all go together..."

However, when everyone saw that the sound was coming from Fengtian Prefecture, no one dared to get involved, though their verbal attacks didn't stop.

"Whoever goes, I'll give them a Spirit Stone."

"I'll give ten. Who's going?"

"I'll give fifty! Hurry and make him stop, I'm dying."

Nantian Yijian ignored the curses from everyone.

The Cultivators outside kept mocking him, cursing Nantian Yijian and his ancestors for eighteen generations, yet not a single person stepped forward to drive him away.

The entire day passed with everyone's curses and Nantian Yijian's "tzila tzila... hualah hualah" zither music.

Just as Nantian Yijian was preparing to continue on the second day, he stepped out of the welcoming tent, and suddenly two burly men jumped out from the tent behind him, immediately covering him with a sack and beating him soundly.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding Cultivators cheered: "Get him! Beat him."

"Let him play the zither..."

"Finally, someone's dealing with him."

"..."

Hearing the shouts of the crowd, the burly men beat him even harder, shouting as they did: "I'll kick your grandma's leg! You thought you were good just because someone said you were? You sound terrible!"

Inside the sack, Nantian Yijian was still defiant: "It's just that you don't understand appreciation. This is a masterpiece by a young master, peerless and unique. You just don't get it."

Hearing Nantian Yijian still talking back, the burly men's blows became even more vicious: "Let your young master be peerless! Let you be peerless! Damn it!"

"Ouch, I know who you are! Brother Xiao Ma, right? Big brother, don't hit me, don't hit me anymore! I was wrong, I'll move somewhere else." Nantian Yijian, unable to take it anymore, quickly begged for mercy.

But the burly men didn't stop their assault, giving him another thorough beating. Once they had vented their anger, they threw Nantian Yijian into the nearby bushes.

Nantian Yijian struggled out of the sack, peered around, and found that no one was there anymore. He started shouting loudly again: "That's right, this young master is unparalleled in the world. You are all vulgar people, how can you compare to this young master?"

Saying this, Nantian Yijian tidied his white robe and started walking into the forest, where he encountered Lu Chen and the other person who were competing in hunting Demonic Beasts.

Nantian Yijian watched Lu Chen and Young Master Jun's intense competition in hunting Demonic Beasts. He began to play his zither nearby, saying: "Little Lu, Little Jun, you're in for a treat. Listen to my new song."

With that, he began to play. However, the zither music was "tzila tzila," incredibly unpleasant. Even the Demonic Beasts became agitated upon hearing it, and Lu Chen was almost attacked by a Demonic Beast.

Lu Chen quickly stopped Nantian Yijian.

"Yijian, stop playing quickly. You're not cut out for playing the zither. Why don't you join us in hunting Demonic Beasts and practice your sword control techniques?"

But Nantian Yijian completely ignored their shouts, muttering to himself: "Is it possible that in this world, I am the only one with the artistic sensibility of a young master?"

"Tragic, lamentable." As he spoke, the force in his hands gradually increased, and the zither music became even more piercing. Nantian Yijian remained lost in his own music.

"Tzila tzila" "Huchi huci"

"Tzila tzila" "Huchi huci..."

"..."

Lu Chen and Young Master Jun quickly drove the Demonic Beasts away, wanting only to get as far away as possible from Nantian Yijian's demonic zither music.

Lu Chen and Young Master Jun moved further and further away from the military camp. Just then, they encountered a giant snake-like Demonic Beast. After two days of hunting Demonic Beasts, this was the last one.

After hunting this Demonic Beast, Lu Chen would have completed his quota of one thousand Demonic Beasts. Lu Chen looked at the snake-like Demonic Beast before him and prepared to charge forward, intending to finish it within ten minutes.

Young Master Jun followed behind Lu Chen. He saw Lu Chen charge towards the Demonic Beast ahead and prepared to follow, but he noticed the purple light on the Demonic Beast's head and inwardly thought: Not good, this is a Purple-Eyed Sky-Swallowing Python from the Breath Regulation Realm.

Demonic Beasts, just like humans, can generate a Spiritual Power ability every time they advance a realm, and Demonic Beasts are more prone to generating Spiritual Powers than humans. These Spiritual Powers usually appear on the eyes, waist, or ankles. At this moment, a Spiritual Power was flashing with purple light on the forehead of the snake-like Demonic Beast.

"Little Lu, come back quickly! We're no match for it."

But by the time Young Master Jun spoke, the snake-like Demonic Beast had already noticed Lu Chen. Its demonic eyes flickered with light, and its forked tongue repeatedly flicked out from its mouth.

Young Master Jun ran to Lu Chen: "This is no ordinary Demonic Beast. This is a Sky-Swallowing Python from the Breath Regulation Realm. Do you see its forehead? That's a Spiritual Power that can only be generated after reaching the Breath Regulation Realm. After generating the Spiritual Power, its name becomes the Purple-Eyed Sky-Swallowing Python."

Lu Chen stared at the forehead of the snake-like Demonic Beast before him and found that there was indeed an eye emitting purple light there.

Lu Chen felt he had been too careless, rushing in without properly assessing the situation. He called out to Feng Tiancheng in his mind, hoping for a solution, but Feng Tiancheng did not respond.

"Not good, I was too impulsive, I rushed in without looking carefully."

"It's not your fault. You didn't study at a sect, so it's normal not to know these things."

The Sky-Swallowing Python is extremely fast; once it spots you, escape is practically impossible. This one appears to have just reached the Breath Regulation Realm, so if we go all out, we should be able to defeat it.

Let's treat this battle as a real competition and see who wins in the end.

Lu Chen looked at Young Master Jun, realizing his own shortcomings. His recent string of successes had made him a bit arrogant and prone to underestimating opponents. If this continued, his goal of saving his grandfather would be in vain.

Lu Chen adjusted his mindset and said, "Alright, let's continue our match and see whose skills are superior."

Inside the Twin Fish Talisman, Feng Tiancheng watched Lu Chen's performance and secretly nodded. He had intentionally not reminded Lu Chen this time.

Feng Tiancheng understood that he couldn't always be by Lu Chen's side. Although Lu Chen had a strong will and a clear goal, he had been too fortunate since he began cultivating. This was akin to "praising him into destruction." If Lu Chen didn't correct his mindset, he would inevitably pay the price in the end.

Lu Chen and Young Master Jun faced the Sky-Swallowing Python, each unleashing their attacks. This was an unprecedented challenge. If they could cooperate with enough synergy, they could still kill this Purple-Eyed Sky-Swallowing Python.

"Star Serpent Hidden in Clouds!"

"Azure Emperor Divine Tree!"

Lu Chen leaped behind the Sky-Swallowing Python with "Star Serpent Hidden in Clouds" and simultaneously released divine tree tentacles to harass it. Meanwhile, Young Master Jun attacked the python from the front with his spear.

The Purple-Eyed Sky-Swallowing Python was incredibly fast. For every ten attacks Lu Chen and Young Master Jun landed, they only managed to hit five times.

Seeing this situation, Lu Chen shouted, "Little Junzi, we need a new approach. We have to draw this beast's attention, or we'll be worn down and die!"

With that, Lu Chen retreated and, along with Young Master Jun, sandwiched the Purple-Eyed Sky-Swallowing Python between them.

Young Master Jun shouted to Lu Chen, "You hold its attention, I'll unleash the Heavenly Dao Control Art!"

"Azure Emperor Divine Tree: Entangle, Absorb Spiritual Energy!"

Lu Chen controlled the divine tree tentacles, dispersing them into hundreds of smaller ones. This time, Lu Chen no longer concealed the secret of his divine tree tentacles absorbing spiritual energy from living beings. Red light emanated from the tentacles, obscuring the sky. Hundreds of red, molten-like true dragons formed a massive beam of light, charging directly at the Purple-Eyed Sky-Swallowing Python.

In that instant, the air around the sky and the surrounding area seemed to be affected by this magnificent aura. The red tentacle dragons completely enveloped the Purple-Eyed Sky-Swallowing Python, causing its aura to drop significantly.

Young Master Jun was astonished by the current state of the Purple-Eyed Sky-Swallowing Python; Lu Chen's methods were unlike anything he had ever seen.

"Heavenly Dao Control Art: Heavenly Thunder Art!"

Young Master Jun held his twin spears, twirling them in front of him. Dark clouds began to gather in the sky, and blue lightning continuously descended from the clouds, striking the Purple-Eyed Sky-Swallowing Python.

Witnessing the ceaseless descent of heavenly thunder, Lu Chen finally realized the power of the Heavenly Dao Control Art. He thought to himself, Thankfully, I wasn't hit by it last time; that would have been terrible.

However, the Purple-Eyed Sky-Swallowing Python was, after all, a Demonic Beast of the Breath Regulation Realm. After being struck by the heavenly thunder several times, it violently broke free from Lu Chen's entanglement and shot a beam of purple light from its forehead, directly at Young Master Jun.

With a "pu" sound.

The purple light pierced directly through Young Master Jun's body, and blood instantly soaked his clothes. Young Master Jun's body remained in the stance of unleashing the Heavenly Thunder Art as he fell stiffly to the ground.

"Heavenly Dao Control Art: Heavenly Thunder Art, Heavenly Thunder Avatar!"

Young Master Jun unleashed his final move before falling unconscious, his body continuously generating electricity that filled him.

Seeing Young Master Jun covered in blood and lying on the ground, Lu Chen's eyes instantly turned red. He unleashed all his divine tree tentacles, attacking the Sky-Swallowing Python.

The life force of the Sky-Swallowing Python was continuously absorbed and injected into Lu Chen's hands. His hands began forming the hand seals for the Six Yang Palms that Split the Heavens, simultaneously releasing the "Dragon Descends to the Sea" technique. The divine tree tentacles continued to restrain the Sky-Swallowing Python.

The Sky-Swallowing Python roared in pain and charged at Lu Chen. Lu Chen decided to go all out; at this point, it was either life or death.

Slowly, all of Lu Chen's Spiritual Energy concentrated in his hands. The surrounding Spiritual Energy was continuously compressed. In this moment of desperation, the Six Yang Palms that Split the Heavens truly unleashed its first Yang. The fiery light on his hands gradually condensed into the form of a round sun, and all the heat was drawn into it.

"Six Yang Palms that Split the Heavens: Blazing Sun Splits the Sky!"

Lu Chen looked at the charging Sky-Swallowing Python, bit his tongue, and sprayed a mouthful of vital blood into the round sun. He shouted loudly, "Beast, come on! Let's see who kills whom."

"Star Serpent Hidden in Clouds!"

Then, Lu Chen roared and used "Star Serpent Hidden in Clouds" to directly attack the Sky-Swallowing Python's head, slamming the round sun onto it. At this moment, the round sun's aura spread outwards, causing large cracks in space. The roaring wind shattered the surrounding trees.

The vast red flames within the round sun seemed to find a breakthrough and tore at the Sky-Swallowing Python's forehead and eyes, emitting a scorching smell. These red flames were all transmitted from the Yang Sea Pearl, an Emperor artifact. Its power was something a Breath Regulation Realm Sky-Swallowing Python could not withstand.

The Sky-Swallowing Python writhed in pain, its tail repeatedly striking Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was slowly losing consciousness, but his body instinctively controlled the round sun to continuously attack the Sky-Swallowing Python.

Lu Chen's hands were like a volcano, accumulated for thousands of years, now erupting with world-destroying power!

Finally, the Sky-Swallowing Python's forehead eye was torn open, and blood continuously flowed out. Lu Chen could no longer hold on and was sent flying by a sweep of the Sky-Swallowing Python's tail.

The Azure Emperor Divine Tree quickly sent a portion of its tentacles to catch Lu Chen, while another portion plunged deeply into the Sky-Swallowing Python's forehead, touching its flesh and blood to absorb its life essence and transfer it to Lu Chen.
