Even a True Immortal Couldn't Save It

The golden light was like a sharp arrow, piercing through the snake's scales, which were like steel plates, and deeply embedding itself into the giant snake's head.

The giant snake's head was thrown back by the golden light and fell heavily to the ground.

Liu Jinghe turned her head and saw Liu Gu panting heavily. A pale yellow talisman paper in his hand was slowly burning, quickly turning into a pile of ashes.

He coughed, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and walked over, clutching his chest.

"Miss, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine..."

Liu Jinghe answered subconsciously.

Looking at the giant snake that was no longer moving, Liu Gu's face showed no smile.

They hadn't even seen the Fox Immortal yet, and their last trump card had been used.

From now on, they could only pray that the Fox Immortal would be satisfied with the tribute they brought.

"Boss! Are you okay?"

A guard struggled to get up and shouted loudly.

"I'm fine. Where's Second Brother?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Gu saw another guard.

His luck wasn't good. After being swept away by the giant snake, his head hit a pillar, scattering red and white matter everywhere.

Sighing deeply, Liu Gu was about to say something when his peripheral vision suddenly caught a twitch in the snake's body.

"Li..."

Before the word could leave his mouth, the giant snake's head lunged at the defenseless Liu Jinghe.

It's over!

At this moment, Liu Gu felt despair.

He hadn't expected that talisman paper to not be able to completely eliminate the giant snake.

On the other side, Liu Jinghe looked at the blood-red maw rushing towards her, feeling her body stiffen, unable to move.

In the air, she could still smell the disgusting stench.

Liu Jinghe closed her eyes and sighed in her heart.

Oh well, it's fine to die like this. It would be a release for both myself and the Liu family.

The next instant, Liu Jinghe felt a gust of foul wind brush past her cheek. The disgusting smell made her stomach churn, and she directly vomited.

After a few dry heaves, Liu Jinghe realized she was still alive and subconsciously looked up.

She saw the giant snake thrashing towards her, but it couldn't advance an inch, only opening and closing its massive mouth.

Looking past the giant snake, she saw a tall figure standing at the entrance, holding a wild deer on his shoulder with one hand and grabbing the giant snake's tail with the other, his expression calm.

His thick arm held the snake's tail, and no matter how the giant snake thrashed, it couldn't move even a millimeter.

Only then did the giant snake regain its senses, its head turning to see Kong Wu.

"Come here!"

Kong Wu pulled his arm back, and the giant snake retreated rapidly like a stretched rubber band.

His thick arm released the snake's tail and punched the rapidly whipping snake head fiercely.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, bright red liquid sprayed from the giant snake's mouth and nose. It fell limply to the ground, motionless.

Congratulations on defeating "Giant Python About to Transform into a Demon", you have gained 0.6 Free Attribute Points.

As the system prompt sounded, Kong Wu threw the troublesome snake carcass out of the dilapidated temple and returned to the previous campfire as if nothing had happened.

Bang!

He dropped the two wild deer from his shoulder and casually said, "You can take this one. I only need to eat one more."

These words jolted everyone present awake.

Liu Gu clasped his fists and bowed, "Thank you, brother, for your help."

Kong Wu's inhuman display stirred up immense waves in his heart.

Just one punch!

That giant python, which could casually slaughter them, and even the expensive talismans they had invited, couldn't deal with it.

But for Kong Wu, it was just a casual punch, and it was dead.

This person must be a cultivator!

Seeing Liu Gu standing there dumbfounded, Kong Wu disassembled the wild deer and asked doubtfully, "What? You don't want to eat it if it's free?"

"Ah? Yes, yes!"

Liu Gu nodded subconsciously, respectfully took the wild deer back, and began to dismember it with another guard.

By the time Kong Wu finished roasting the meat and started eating, Liu Gu and the others were still unable to snap out of their daze.

Liu Gu picked up a piece of roasted venison and handed it to Liu Jinghe.

His eyes were vacant, as if he were lost in thought.

"Uncle Gu!"

Liu Jinghe called out softly, bringing Liu Gu back to his senses.

Liu Jinghe didn't take the roasted meat. Instead, she handed over a package beside her.

Inside were some silver notes and gold bars, which Old Master Liu had them bring in case the tribute wasn't enough.

Exchanging a glance with Liu Jinghe, Liu Gu understood her intention.

Putting aside the fact that they had received a wild deer for free, they felt obligated to show their gratitude for the life-saving favor.

Liu Gu picked up the package and stood up, walking over to Kong Wu.

"Senior, thank you for saving our lives earlier. This is a small token of our appreciation."

Just by the faint clinking sound, Kong Wu knew what was inside the package.

Chewing the venison in his mouth, he casually nodded and said, "Leave it there."

Liu Gu, who had initially thought that a powerful being like Kong Wu wouldn't care about such worldly possessions, was surprised to see Kong Wu accept the gift so readily. After a moment of thought, he gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, I have a favor to ask. If it's successful, I can offer more as a reward."

"Not interested!"

Seeing Kong Wu's indifferent tone, Liu Gu apologized and walked back dejectedly.

He sat down, picked up a piece of roasted meat, and took a bite. He sighed and whispered to Liu Jinghe, "Miss, we might have to go back. Without that talisman, I don't have much confidence facing that Fox Immortal."

Just as Liu Jinghe was about to nod, a deep inquiry came from the other side.

"Fox Immortal? Tell me about it!"

Turning his head, Kong Wu looked at them with interest. Before Liu Jinghe could speak, Liu Gu quickly said, "Senior, it's like this..."

Before long, Liu Gu clearly explained the entire story.

Kong Wu listened while eating the roasted meat, sitting there thoughtfully.

After finishing the last bite of roasted meat, Kong Wu stood up and said, "You're saying this Fox Immortal is on this mountain? I'll take the job. How do you want it dead?"

"Huh?" Liu Gu was stunned by the question and quickly replied, "Senior, we just want you to help us by being present to ensure the transaction goes smoothly. We wouldn't dare trouble you to take action."

Liu Gu had his reservations.

According to the previous Taoist priest, the Fox Immortal possessed great magical power and was not someone ordinary people could contend with.

Although Liu Gu knew Kong Wu was exceptionally powerful, he still didn't want him to be in danger.

Kong Wu, however, casually shook his head and said, "Didn't you say all you need is to kill that fox? If that's the case, why bother with a transaction?"

"But that Fox Immortal has profound cultivation. I think we should first see if it can be resolved peacefully..."

"Sigh," Kong Wu shook his head and said, "It's all the same. Since I've encountered it, this thing won't survive. Even a True Immortal couldn't save it, I say!"
