Chapter 20: Exorcising the Demon (Monthly Recommendation Over a Thousand, One More Chapter Added)

  At this time, the red sun, like a fire, had slowly risen from the horizon, shining on a withered branch of a forest in front of Wuling Peak, serene and tranquil, with a beauty that was already extreme.

  But this scenery could no longer spark Kong Rong's interest.

  The more forward, the more uncomfortable breath became thicker, gradually going deeper into Wuling Mountain, the stench grew stronger and stronger. The frost on the branches and withered grass, after being evaporated by the sunlight, turned into a faint misty smoke, slowly enveloping the forest, adding some mysterious atmosphere to it.

  Just then, he heard a faint shout not far away, followed by the sound of a sword humming with a hint of crystal clear light, coming from not far away, Kong Zhuang

  As soon as he moved, his body passed through a dense thicket of shrubs, cutting off several branches.

  A shrill whistle suddenly sounded, and the voice seemed to carry a strange energy. Kong Zhuo was caught off guard for a moment, and he almost fell to the ground with a thud.

  A flip of the body, the innate purple energy circulated around his body, driving away the strange power contained in that unusual whistle.

  He raised his head and couldn't help but feel a slight shock, only to see the wind blowing in front of him, a pungent smell hitting his nose. Kong Zhuo secretly thought that something was off, his body slightly tense, three condensed jade beads appeared, starting to circulate in front of his left shoulder.

  As his body rose, he saw clearly that in the distance ahead, a thick fog revealed two red lanterns and a green light, like a divine dragon dancing in the air, amidst the thick fog. Kong Zhuo knew it was the glow of a sword, and thought it must be the white-clothed woman's.

  The sword light and the thick fog were fighting together, Kong Zhuo's mind was slightly calmed, his body moved automatically without wind, like a ghost floating forward. He got closer again before he could see clearly that the thick fog wrapped around was actually a white-scaled giant python, about ten feet long. The two red lanterns were its eyes. The python's entire body was snow-white, covered with a layer of white scales as white as snow, and surrounded by a thick fog. What was even more strange was that on the head of this giant python grew two horns, like coral, opening a bloody mouth, fighting with the sword light, and having the upper hand.

  It has to be said that the sword was a divine sword, and its power must have been absolutely unmatched by Kong Zhuan's own sword, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to hold out against this giant python for so long. The white-clothed woman stood under a large rock, still manipulating the sword light, but clearly showing signs of exhaustion, her body slightly trembling, filled with regret in her heart, if she had known that the mountain python was so formidable beforehand, she wouldn't have come here rashly.

  Although she was not very old, her master was a high-ranking person, and her vision was naturally higher. Kong Zhuan didn't hesitate for a moment, and as soon as he saw the white-scaled giant python's appearance, he knew it wasn't good. This thing had horns on its head, mist surrounding its body, although it was a snake, it already had the shape of a dragon, obviously a demon that had cultivated for thousands of years and was about to shed its snake skin and become a dragon. It was clear that she couldn't deal with it herself now, but she was already in a situation where she was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, and could only rely on the immortal sword in her hand to barely hold on.

  That giant python seemed to understand the woman's state as well, letting out a series of shrill whistles from its mouth, its voice mournful and chilling to the bone. In an instant, the sun's light dimmed, and a dismal fog spread out.

  The white-clothed woman was already struggling to support herself, and now she was being harassed by its strange cries. She couldn't hold on anymore, her body trembled slightly, and she retreated a few steps. The sword light also paused for a moment, the light on the sword began to dim, no longer as powerful as before.

  The huge python was now without any restraint, shaking its head and swinging its tail, stirring up the water with a few swirls, and wherever its long tail passed, it knocked against the rocks, sending them flying in all directions.

  "Although she's much stronger than me, her brain is too stupid, a foolish woman!" Looking at the woman struggling to support herself, Kong Zhuang had already made up his mind about her. At this time, if he didn't run, when would he?

  A sigh of emotion rose in his heart, but his hands didn't relax at all. As soon as the thought moved, three condensed jade beads suddenly paused for a moment, then formed a straight line and shot towards the giant python's head.

  That giant python had been cultivating for a thousand years, and its human nature was long gone. Seeing that it had the upper hand, defeating this woman would be just a matter of time. Such a cultivator would be a rare delicacy for him, much more nourishing than those children. With excitement in his heart, he couldn't help but become arrogant and forget himself. He didn't realize that not far away, a sinister little fatty was about to launch a sneak attack.

  So, it wasn't until the first Condensing Jade Pearl reached the top of his head that he felt a great shock, and his body flipped over. The huge head like a dipper wanted to shrink back, but it was not that easy. The Condensing Jade Pearl is an extreme treasure in the Earth element, and after locking onto its target, it will increase the gravity of the area where the target is located in an instant. The multiplier of the increase depends on the user's strength. If Kong Zhao uses this technique himself, he can increase the surrounding gravity by twenty times. However, if he borrows the power of the Condensing Jade Pearl, he can increase the gravity around the target by fifty times.

  Fifty times the gravity, under the sudden and unforeseen circumstances, his head involuntarily bowed down, and he could no longer dodge. The first crystal bead hit him squarely on the head.

  Here is the translation:

  At this moment, the power of the Condensed Jade Pearl was revealed. Even with thousands of years of cultivation, the giant python had no strength to resist under the attack of this heavenly treasure. With one strike, its body suddenly weakened, and its massive head was smashed, sending golden stars flying everywhere. However, the first strike did not crush its skull, only severely injuring it. But as the second and third strikes came down, the snake's luck ran out. Carrying more than 50 times the power of the Primordial Magnetic Force and that terrifying weight, the giant python had no chance of survival. Its massive head was smashed to pieces, and a white light shot out from its forehead, fleeing towards the northeast. Kong Zhongfu seemed to have thought of something as he watched the white light, and without paying attention to the exhausted White-clothed woman who was about to collapse on the ground, he lightly whispered and threw out the short sword in his hand, his body following the sword's shadow, transforming into a flowing light that chased after the white light.

  Although the speed of that white light was swift, it was after all a fleeing Yuan Shen. How could it compare to Kong Zhuan's sword light? In the blink of an eye, Kong Zhuan caught up with it. Seeing Kong Zhuan point his hand, the short sword in his hand flew out and entwined with the white light. The giant python also fell into misfortune, perhaps it was destined to have this calamity. The Yuan Ling had no power to resist, and was trapped by the sword light. At the same time, a purple glow flashed around Kong Zhuan's body, then slowly gathered at the tip of his left hand's index finger, transforming into an extremely bright purple star.

  He leaned forward slightly, and Kong Zhuan's body paused for a moment, and the yuanling of the white-scaled python was injected into the sword body. Then, with a flash of light, a giant python's shadow rose from the sword body, struggling, and disappeared.

  Kong Zhan took a deep breath, his hand slightly beckoning, and the sword returned to his grasp. Upon closer inspection, he felt a slight joy in his heart, for the sword had undergone a subtle transformation. On the blade of over one foot in length, a white-scaled python was coiling and uncoiling, appearing and disappearing. The hilt, which originally only had some simple patterns, now had several faintly raised scales, and when he grasped it, the feel was not bad, more solid than before.

  At the same time, Kong Zhuang could also feel the powerful force contained in this sword that he was completely unable to control.

  Seal the beast spirit, in a sense, is to separate the opponent's yuan spirit from the body, and then replace it with another body, which is the Xianjian.

  And if this new body is stronger than before, then the sealed one can even exert its peak strength, and can even cultivate on its own, just like this white python now.

  If luck is good and cultivation is proper, it can even borrow this new body, that is the short sword, to transform into a dragon.

  This sword was originally controlled by Kong Zhuan, connected to his spirit and nurtured in his dantian. It is the true form of the white python's yuanling, which has transformed into a jiao dragon, unable to escape Kong Zhuan's control. However, with Kong Zhuan's current weak strength, it is also difficult for him to exert the power of the sealed beast spirit.

  It wasn't until after he had sealed away the beast spirit that Kong Zhuo finally realized how much of a bargain he had gotten.

  The beast spirit was sealed in the sword, and the sword was also connected to Kong Zhong's mind, so for this white python's background, Kong Zhong also knew about eight or nine out of ten.

  This time, he really picked up a big gold ingot.

  This was a white python that had been cultivating for nearly 4,000 years. It was just one tiny step away, a minuscule step of three days. In three days, its heavenly tribulation would arrive. If it could successfully pass the tribulation, it would be able to transform and become a dragon.

  Just now, when he was fighting with the woman in white, he didn't use his full strength. Firstly, he had some reservations about the sword in her hand, and secondly, he wanted to leave a living witness, using her blood to seize the sword for himself as an extra insurance to save himself from calamity. Unexpectedly, due to his carelessness, Kong Zhuo succeeded in a sneak attack, destroying his thousands of years of cultivation in an instant, even sealing away his primordial spirit, completely fulfilling Kong Zhuo's wishes.

  "So, sometimes getting rid of evil and doing good deeds, the heavens will still take care of you. I'm really a good person!" Kong Zuo said with a self-satisfied smile. "Oh, right, I wonder how that foolish woman is doing? Looking at her sword style, it seems like she's from the Qingling Gate of Xuan Ying Mountain, and since we're fellow practitioners, I shouldn't ignore her!"
