Huanglong Fights Demonic Python

[Huanglong Zhenren: Golden Immortal]

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

"Damn it!"

Lu Changsheng couldn't help cursing.

A dignified member of the Jade Void Twelve Immortals was actually trying to steal the Xuanling Fruit while he was fighting the Xuan Sha Mang?!

Getting past the Xuan Sha Mang to obtain the Xuanling Fruit had already been difficult enough.

And now Huanglong Zhenren had shown up.

How was this fair?

Normally, shouldn't he be standing where Huanglong Zhenren was now, waiting to reap the benefits?

How had things ended up like this?

While he was still reeling, Huanglong Zhenren had already reached out toward the Xuanling Fruit.

His face was full of delight.

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

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

He was confident he could defeat it, but he would have to pay a price.

As he considered how to get the Xuanling Fruit at the lowest possible cost, Lu Changsheng arrived.

So he concealed his presence and used Lu Changsheng to draw the Xuan Sha Mang away.

Then he waited for the right moment, striking for the Xuanling Fruit while the Xuan Sha Mang's attention was entirely on Lu Changsheng.

It had to be said that Huanglong Zhenren's plan had worked perfectly.

By the time the Xuan Sha Mang and Lu Changsheng noticed him, he had already reached the Xuanling Fruit.

The Xuan Sha Mang roared and charged at him, but it was clearly too late.

Just as Huanglong Zhenren was about to seize the Xuanling Fruit, the lake stirred again.

Another Black Python burst out from the bottom of the lake, snapping at Huanglong Zhenren.

But this Black Python was far inferior to the Golden Immortal Xuan Sha Mang in both size and aura.

It was clearly a Young Python, whose cultivation was only at the Deity Transformation Void Returning Realm.

Faced with the sudden attack of such a Young Python, Huanglong Zhenren naturally paid it no heed.

"Know your place, you wretched thing!"

Huanglong Zhenren sneered and casually waved his hand. Power on the Golden Immortal level roared forth.

Faced with such an overwhelming difference in power, the Young Python was utterly helpless. Its blood stained Lingganhu before it sank to the bottom.

"You dare try to stop me with cultivation like that? You must be tired of living."

With a triumphant smile, Huanglong Zhenren's fingertip touched the Xuanling Fruit.

Just as the fruit was about to be in his grasp, a piercing roar rang out across the sky.

Huanglong Zhenren instinctively turned toward the sound.

At the sight, he froze.

The Xuan Sha Mang's eyes were bloodshot, brimming with boundless hatred. Its nearly tangible Killing Intent made everyone tremble.

In the next instant, demonic energy erupted around the Xuan Sha Mang. It opened its jaws and spat out Mysterious Light.

Wherever the Mysterious Light passed, the space above Lingganhu twisted.

Feeling the force of the Mysterious Light, Huanglong Zhenren had no choice but to gather his magic power to defend himself.

Huanglong Zhenren's expression soon darkened.

Though they were both Golden Immortals, his defenses were dissolving at an astonishing rate under the Mysterious Light's erosion.

The Xuan Sha Mang was stronger than he had imagined.

His defenses wouldn't hold for long.

Get the Xuanling Fruit first!

Boom!

A piercing rush of wind suddenly sounded as a python's tail swept in from the side.

Unable to dodge in time, Huanglong Zhenren took the blow head-on and was sent flying like a discarded sack.

He had barely steadied himself when he spat out a mouthful of blood. A savage look spread across his face.

He had already touched the Xuanling Fruit.

"Beast, you're asking for death!"

Huanglong Zhenren's eyes blazed with fury.

The ten thousand years of cultivation granted by the Xuanling Fruit weren't the most important thing. What mattered most was the boost to one's comprehension.

He needed that increased comprehension to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and narrow the gap between himself and the other members of the Jade Void Twelve Immortals.

Today, anyone who stood in his way of obtaining the Xuanling Fruit would die!

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

Then Huanglong Zhenren gripped the Spirit Sword and pointed it at the Xuan Sha Mang.

The Xuan Sha Mang naturally refused to back down. It fought with all its might.

In an instant, the man and the python clashed in a fierce battle above Lingganhu.

Lu Changsheng watched the fight with interest.

Clearly, the Young Python Huanglong Zhenren had killed was the Xuan Sha Mang's child.

Perhaps in Huanglong Zhenren's eyes, a Young Python that hadn't even reached the Immortal realm was nothing. He could kill it without a second thought.

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

The loss of its child had sent the Xuan Sha Mang into a frenzy. It was willing to pay any price to avenge its offspring.

But emotions couldn't always make one stronger.

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

The Xuan Sha Mang was no match for Huanglong Zhenren.

Perhaps in fifteen minutes, perhaps sooner, the Xuan Sha Mang would lose.

But that was enough.

Earlier, Huanglong Zhenren had tried to take the Xuanling Fruit while he and the Xuan Sha Mang were fighting.

Now it was his turn.

Lu Changsheng moved and arrived right in front of the Xuanling Fruit.

"How dare you!"

Huanglong Zhenren's furious roar suddenly rang out from above.

Lu Changsheng looked up at him and parted his lips, uttering two words.

"Idiot!"

Then, right under Huanglong Zhenren's gaze, he put the Xuanling Fruit away.

More precisely, he took the Xuanlinghua as well.

Though the Xuanlinghua wasn't as valuable as the Xuanling Fruit, why leave anything behind for Huanglong Zhenren?

His actions completely enraged Huanglong Zhenren.

"You're asking for death!"

How could he let a mere Heavenly Immortal take the Xuanling Fruit?

Huanglong Zhenren roared and turned to charge at Lu Changsheng.

But the moment he took a step, a roar sounded beside his ear.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Xuan Sha Mang open its jaws.

Mysterious Light speckled with blood shot toward him once more.

Would Huanglong Zhenren dare take the Xuan Sha Mang's attack head-on just to go after Lu Changsheng?

He wouldn't.

The pain of losing its child had already driven the Xuan Sha Mang mad.

Every one of its attacks was a threat.

If Huanglong Zhenren ignored this Mysterious Light, he would inevitably be gravely wounded.

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

Now that Lu Changsheng had the Xuanling Fruit, there was no reason for him to stay.

Of the Thirty Six Stratagems, retreat was best.

He would just let Huanglong Zhenren and the Xuan Sha Mang keep fighting.

"Stop!"

"Get back here!"

Huanglong Zhenren roared hysterically.

But Lu Changsheng had no intention of answering him. The only response Huanglong Zhenren got was another attack from the Xuan Sha Mang.

As Lu Changsheng's figure disappeared into the distance, Huanglong Zhenren shook with rage.

He had begged his Master for the chance to obtain the Xuanling Fruit.

If some Daluo Golden Immortal had taken it, he could have accepted that.

But instead, it had been snatched by a mere Heavenly Immortal.

How could he possibly accept that?

He glared at the Xuan Sha Mang as it attacked again, fury surging in his eyes.

"Anyone who stands in my way dies!"
