Chapter 29: Python Grass
It turned out that earlier in the forest, Dong Xuan, Lü Feng, Ding Han and Yu Can had already discovered the direction where Yan Liang was leading Xuan Yuan and the others.
So he exercised his divine power to drive away these demons, wanting to cause some chaos, and with a more sinister intention, which was to let the blood of these demons attract even stronger demons.
It was clear that after Yan Liang saw through their trick, they were at a loss and could only rush to the Hong Ri Demon Cave first, and wait until they entered the underground before finding an opportunity to make a move.
But just as they were rushing to the Hongri Devil's Cave, they found that in this forest, near the Hongri Devil's Cave, on a huge boulder, grew a single blade of grass.
This blade of grass, as a whole, resembles both a python and a dragon, is named 'python dragon grass', is an extremely precious natural treasure.
Heavenly material and earthly treasure, divided into seven levels: yellow, mysterious, earth, heaven, immortal, divine, and Tao. The python dragon grass is a heavenly material and earthly treasure of the heavenly level. The higher the level of the heavenly material and earthly treasure, the more difficult it is to cultivate, and once cultivated, it will even have its own spiritual intelligence, protecting itself and attacking others. It naturally attracts powerful alien beasts to guard it, extremely rare, and all have special effects.
For example, if you take this 'Python Grass', it can make the meridians in your body stronger and hold more Dou Qi. This is extremely rare. If the amount of Dou Qi held has a major breakthrough, it can transform from quantity to quality, and there may be an enormous breakthrough. In other words, this 'Python Grass' is even more precious than the 'Fighting King Dan'.
Whether it's Dong Xuan, Lü Feng, Ding Han, or Yu Can, they have all reached their current level with limited potential and it is difficult for them to make a major breakthrough again.
Otherwise, with the strength of Dong Xuan, Lü Feng and Ding Handou, it would not be a problem to enter the 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion' as an inner disciple. However, this kind of inner disciple who has already lost his potential is meaningless to the 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion'. It's better to leave them in the Moon Flower Gate and become a considerable force, sitting in the Moon Flower Gate.
But if they had taken 'Python Grass', perhaps the outcome would have been different.
So the four led their respective teams to kill the giant rock, ready to pick this 'python grass', but the heavenly material and earthly treasure are guarded by strange beasts.
A beast with a Dou Wang realm's power, named 'Dì Yán Lóng', was incredibly powerful. Its body was so sturdy that it could be compared to a Dou Zong.
Moreover, this 'Earth Dragon' in this forest can also command many magical beasts. In an instant, it clashed with the team led by three top true disciples of the Moon Flower Gate.
Around the huge rock where 'Python Grass' grew, dozens of corpses of Moon Gate disciples and hundreds of demon beast corpses lay on the ground.
Blood seeped into the soil mixed with rocks, a crimson hue, a bloody aura soared to the sky.
Yan Liang and his group had just seen this scene, only to see Dong Xuan, Lü Feng, Ding Han, and Yu Can displaying their own magical techniques, attacking the 'Earth Rock Dragon'.
The body of the "Earth Rock Dragon" seemed to be made up of piled-up rocks. With Dong Xuan, Lü Feng, Ding Han, and Yu Can's current strength at this stage, it was a bit difficult to kill this 12-meter-high, over-20-meter-long Earth Rock Dragon, but the dragon also let out a series of painful howls.
Feeling Yan Liang's presence, the ferocious look on Yu Ruyan's face flashed by, and he hastily said:
"Yan Shixiong, come and help us out. This 'Earth Rock Dragon' is guarding the 'Python Grass', a top-grade heavenly material that can expand our meridians and be of great help to us."
Upon hearing Moon's words, Dong Xuan, Lü Feng and Ding Han immediately understood what he meant. With the numerous demonic beasts surrounding them, more than half of their elite inner disciples had already died, and those still struggling could be used to lure Yan Liang with the 'Earth Dragon', then let the beast horde kill off Xuan's group, and finally Yan Liang would also meet his demise.
"Not bad, Yan Liang, come and help us out." Dong Xuan immediately gave the order.
Yan Liang hesitated for a moment, and Xuan Yuan pulled him over, saying:
"Don't go!"
"Hmph, I am the true heir's eldest disciple. How dare you not listen to me? Do you want me to deal with you according to our sect's rules?" Dong Xuan shouted in anger as he saw Xuan Yuan blocking Yan Liang.
"Xuanyuan, you're just a small inner sect disciple, how dare you interfere with the affairs of our true transmission disciples?"
"Hmph, you're just a small fry from the Moon Flower Sect's true lineage, what can you amount to? I'm an outer sect disciple personally accepted by Master Feng Lie into the Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion. How dare you scold me? What right do you have to scold me?" Xuan Yuan coldly gazed at Dong Xuan and loudly rebuked: "Master Feng Lie ordered us to besiege the Hong Ri Demon Cave, but you people are secretly disobeying orders here, sacrificing the lives of inner sect disciples for your own selfish desires, fighting over this 'Python Dragon Grass'. It's clear that none of you have taken Master Feng Lie's words to heart! This is blatant disrespect towards Master Feng Lie!"
Dong Xuan, Lü Feng, Ding Han, and Yu Can were scolded by Xuan Yuan, leaving them stunned. They didn't expect Xuan Yuan to have such great audacity, using the tiger skin of Feng Lie Gongzi as a large flag. This made them not dare to refute him openly, each of them grinding their teeth in anger.
"Heavenly treasures are born from the earth, and those who possess great abilities will reside here. The 'Panlong Grass' grows in this place, and we've encountered it, so naturally, we must pick it. How can we let the beast clan have it cheaply? Even if Wind Splitting Young Master were to come, he couldn't blame us for anything. I think that even if Wind Splitting Young Master were to encounter it, he would also take this heavenly treasure for himself." Moon Remnant had received a slap from Wind Splitting earlier and still felt lingering fear in his heart, so he didn't dare say anything too boastful.
"Yan Liang, brother, what are you waiting for? Come and help us out. If we can kill this 'Earth Rock Dragon', there will be many benefits, and who knows, maybe you'll even break through to the Dou Wang level!" Yue Can tempted Yan Liang.
Xuanyuan didn't wait for Yan Liang to speak, and immediately coldly shouted:
"The imperial edict of the 'Dragon Sage Mansion' is the heavenly mandate. The Wind Splitting Young Master has ordered us to come and besiege the Hong Ri Demon Cave, he must have his own plan. Since you all want to fight for this heavenly material and earthly treasure, then go ahead and fight! We will follow orders and carry out our mission, annihilate the demon tribe, and the rewards we obtain may not be lighter than this 'Python Dragon Grass' either. Let's go!"
Xuanyuan didn't know that this was a trap, from Dong Xuan, Lü Feng, Ding Han, and Yu Can's expressions, it could be captured in an instant.
"Xuanyuan kid, you're just a mere mortal trying to ride on the coattails of greatness. Fenglie Gongzi has only acknowledged your existence, yet you haven't even been accepted as a disciple of the Doulong Xianfu, and still you dare to be insolent? You lowly creature, entering the Doulong Xianfu is already a death sentence for you! Today, I'll kill you!" Ding Han's body was ablaze with fury as he summoned the 'Dìyán Lóng', Xuanyuan sneered with his sharp tongue, always bringing up Fenglie to justify his actions. This behemoth of a man didn't dare offend him, but killing Xuanyuan would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Ding Han was seen holding a crescent moon, charging towards Xuan Yuan to kill him. Yan Liang's face changed greatly. He was only at the peak of Dou Kuang, but Ding Han had already entered the realm of Dou Wang, and the difference in their power was like heaven and earth, making it impossible for him to block the attack.
At this moment, a terrifying aura descended from the sky, and a gray wind blade chopped down towards Ding Han's waist. Blood gushed out of the sky, and Ding Han's body was cut in half.
"Hmph, from today on, Xuan Yuan is my 'Doulou Xianfu' disciple. My 'Doulou Xianfu' needs such disciples, who dares to move him?" A man was seen sitting on a dragon-scale horse, this dragon-scale horse stepped forward one step at a time, making Dong Xuan, Lü Feng, and Yuè Cán's gallbladders split, scaring them so much that their souls flew away.
"Xuanyuan, you're absolutely right! It's no wonder that Ben Gongzi has been looking at you with different eyes. Isn't it just a 'Manglongcao'?"
Feng Lie grew up to be exceptionally handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. In his speech, there was an aura of a superior being that was unparalleled. As soon as Feng Lie clasped his hands together in a seal, a gust of wind-type Dou Qi burst forth from his body, stirring up a violent gale on the flat ground, which directly sent Dong Xuan, Lü Feng and Yu Can flying out. Countless trees were swept away by this wild gust of wind, being torn to shreds!
"Heavenly Wind Blade! Strangle!"
A series of extremely terrifying, condensed and formed by the convergence of Dou Qi, Tian Feng's slash directly killed the thick and sturdy body of "Di Yan Long".
Only to see that the "Earth Rock Dragon" had its incredibly sturdy skin cut open, revealing gruesome wounds, with blood gushing out profusely. The demonic beasts surrounding the "Earth Rock Dragon" were also slaughtered in half without any suspense, with blood splattering everywhere.
"Earth Rock Dragon" almost at this moment, wanted to escape, but it was already too late. The Wind Split Sword pointed up and with one slash, the dragon head of "Earth Rock Dragon", which had a hint of dragon blood lineage, was directly beheaded and rolled out far away.
