Huanglong Fights Demonic Python

[Huanglong Zhenren: Golden Immortal]

The moment he saw this person, Lu Changsheng had already activated the system's inspection function.

"Damn it!"

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but curse.

A dignified member of the Jade Void Twelve Immortals, and he was taking advantage of his fight with the Xuan Sha Mang to steal the Xuanling Fruit?!

Originally, getting past the Xuan Sha Mang to obtain the Xuanling Fruit was already difficult enough.

Now there was also Huanglong Zhenren.

Was this reasonable?

Normally, shouldn't he be standing where Huanglong Zhenren was now, reaping the benefits as the fisherman?

How had it turned out like this?

While he was still in shock, Huanglong Zhenren had already reached out to grab the Xuanling Fruit.

His face was full of joy.

In truth, he had arrived at Lingganhu even earlier than Lu Changsheng.

However, as a Golden Immortal, he had immediately sensed the Xuan Sha Mang coiled at the bottom of the lake.

He was confident he could defeat the Xuan Sha Mang, but it would come at a certain cost.

Just as he was considering how to obtain the Xuanling Fruit with minimal losses, Lu Changsheng arrived.

So he concealed his aura, using Lu Changsheng's hand to lure the Xuan Sha Mang away.

Then he picked the right moment, when the Xuan Sha Mang's attention was entirely on Lu Changsheng, to make his move and seize the Xuanling Fruit.

It had to be said, Huanglong Zhenren's plan was very successful.

By the time the Xuan Sha Mang and Lu Changsheng noticed, he was already right in front of the Xuanling Fruit.

Although the Xuan Sha Mang roared and charged at him, it was clearly too late.

Just as Huanglong Zhenren was about to take the Xuanling Fruit, another disturbance arose beneath the lake surface.

Another black python burst out from the lake bottom, opening its mouth to bite at Huanglong Zhenren.

However, this python was far inferior to the Golden Immortal-level Xuan Sha Mang, both in size and aura.

Clearly, it was a young python, its cultivation only at the Deity Transformation Void Returning Realm.

Faced with such a sudden attack from a young python, Huanglong Zhenren naturally dismissed it.

"Courting death!"

Huanglong Zhenren let out a cold laugh, casually waving his hand as Golden Immortal-level power howled forth.

Under such an absolute disparity in power, the young python naturally had no resistance, staining Lingganhu with blood as it sank to the bottom.

"With such cultivation, daring to block me—you truly lived too long."

Triumphant to the extreme, Huanglong Zhenren's fingertips had already touched the Xuanling Fruit.

Just as the fruit was about to fall into his hands, a piercing, grief-stricken roar shook the heavens.

Huanglong Zhenren instinctively turned toward the sound.

At that glance, he couldn't help but freeze in place.

The Xuan Sha Mang's eyes wept blood, filled with towering hatred, and the almost tangible killing intent made one tremble in fear.

The next moment, the Xuan Sha Mang's demonic aura erupted violently. It opened its massive mouth and spat out a mysterious light.

Wherever the mysterious light passed, the space above the entire Lingganhu twisted and warped.

Feeling the power of this mysterious light, Huanglong Zhenren had no choice but to gather his magic power to defend.

Immediately, Huanglong Zhenren's expression darkened.

Though both were at the Golden Immortal level, Huanglong Zhenren's defense was melting at an alarming rate under the erosion of the mysterious light.

This Xuan Sha Mang's power was far stronger than he had imagined.

His defense wouldn't hold for long.

Get the Xuanling Fruit first!

Boom!

A harsh sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out, and a python tail swept in from the side.

Unable to dodge in time, Huanglong Zhenren took the hit head-on, flying backward like a torn sack.

As soon as he steadied himself, he spat out a mouthful of blood, a look of ferocity spreading across his face.

He had already touched the Xuanling Fruit.

"Beast, you've lived too long!"

Huanglong Zhenren's eyes blazed with fury.

In truth, the ten-thousand-year cultivation boost from the Xuanling Fruit wasn't the key—its most important effect was enhancing insight.

He needed the increased perception from the Xuanling Fruit to break through to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal and narrow the gap between himself and the other Jade Void Twelve Immortals.

Today, whoever blocked him from taking the Xuanling Fruit, he would kill.

He waved his right hand, and Golden Immortal-level magic power coalesced in his palm into a Spirit Sword.

Then Huanglong Zhenren pointed the Spirit Sword straight at the Xuan Sha Mang.

The Xuan Sha Mang naturally showed no sign of retreat, fighting with full strength.

For a time, man and python clashed fiercely above Linggan Lake.

Lu Changsheng watched the battle with keen interest.

Clearly, the young python Huanglong Zhenren had slain was the child of this Xuan Sha Mang.

Perhaps in Huanglong Zhenren's eyes, killing a young python that hadn't even reached the Immortal realm was nothing.

But it was precisely this disregard that had led to the current situation.

The grief of losing her child had driven the Xuan Sha Mang into a frenzy; she would stop at nothing to avenge her offspring.

Yet often, emotion alone couldn't boost strength.

Though Lu Changsheng wasn't yet a Golden Immortal, he could still read the general situation.

The Xuan Sha Mang was no match for Huanglong Zhenren.

Perhaps in a quarter of an hour, or even less, the Xuan Sha Mang would be defeated.

But that was enough.

Earlier, Huanglong Zhenren had taken advantage of his fight with the Xuan Sha Mang to try and claim the Xuanling Fruit.

Now it was his turn.

Lu Changsheng moved, appearing directly before the Xuanling Fruit.

"How dare you!"

A furious roar came from above—Huanglong Zhenren's enraged shout.

Lu Changsheng glanced up at Huanglong Zhenren, his lips parting slightly as he spat out two words.

"Idiot."

Then, under Huanglong Zhenren's gaze, he pocketed the Xuanling Fruit.

To be precise, he also took the Xuanlinghua.

Though the Xuanlinghua's effect was slightly inferior to the Xuanling Fruit's, why leave anything behind for Huanglong Zhenren?

This act thoroughly enraged Huanglong Zhenren.

"You're asking for death!"

How could he let a Heavenly Immortal snatch the Xuanling Fruit?

Huanglong Zhenren roared, turning to charge at Lu Changsheng.

But the moment he took a step, a howl rang out at his ear.

From the corner of his eye, he saw the Xuan Sha Mang open its massive maw.

A streak of Mysterious Light tinged with blood-red shot toward him once more.

Would Huanglong Zhenren dare to endure this blow from the Xuan Sha Mang and go after Lu Changsheng instead?

The answer was no.

After all, the grief of losing her child had driven the Xuan Sha Mang into madness.

Every one of her strikes could not be underestimated.

If he ignored that Mysterious Light, Huanglong Zhenren would be Severely Injured.

After a brief moment of weighing his options, Huanglong Zhenren had no choice but to abandon Lu Changsheng for now and turn to block the Xuan Sha Mang's attack.

And since Lu Changsheng had already obtained the Xuanling Fruit, he naturally wouldn't stay here any longer.

Of the Thirty Six Stratagems, the best was to flee.

Let Huanglong Zhenren and the Xuan Sha Mang keep fighting.

"Stop right there!"

"Stop, I said!"

Huanglong Zhenren screamed hysterically.

But Lu Changsheng naturally wouldn't answer him—the only response was the Xuan Sha Mang's assault.

Watching Lu Changsheng's figure vanish at the edge of his vision, Huanglong Zhenren trembled with uncontrollable rage.

The Xuanling Fruit opportunity was something he had begged from his Master.

If it had been taken by some Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, he could have accepted it.

But now, it had actually been snatched by such a small Heavenly Immortal.

How could he possibly accept this?

He watched the Xuan Sha Mang charging at him once more, fury blazing in his eyes.

"Stand in my way, and you die!"
