295: Chapter 295 Joining Forces to Deal with

Li Tianxing and Wang Lan were just about to act against the two.

Suddenly, a slithering sound came over. They looked and saw it was a Thunder Python.

"I didn't expect this Thunder Python to arrive so quickly. Did those two Purple Palace Cultivators fail to finish it off? Moreover, two sharp horns have already grown on its head, so it seems it's close to transforming into a flood dragon," Li Tianxing said hastily.

"Let's first work together to deal with this Thunder Python. As for how to distribute those thunder spirit fruits later, we can discuss that afterward."

The other three nodded.

The four of them joined forces to attack the Thunder Python.

The Thunder Python had just been lured away by Chen Changqing, and upon returning, it not only saw members of the Human Race intruding upon its territory, but more than half of the thunder spirit fruits on the thunder spirit fruit tree were missing.

At this thought, its emotions turned violent and brutal.

Boom!

A thick bolt of lightning blasted toward the four.

Li Tianxing hurriedly dodged, while Wang Lan took out a Talisman to protect herself in its center.

As for the other two, they summoned their Magical Artifacts to withstand it head-on.

Pfft!

After the terrifying lightning swept past, Wei Yu—having the lowest cultivation—was directly sent flying by the strike.

The other two managed to block the creature's attack.

Meanwhile, Li Tianxing bypassed the lightning and controlled his heaven-locking chain to trap the Thunder Python, attempting to crush its body.

However, the Thunder Python was ultimately equivalent to a Sixth Layer Purple Mansion Cultivator; its Physical Body was by no means something a single heaven-locking chain could crush in a short time, though it was still injured by the chain.

While trying to break free from the heaven-locking chain, the Thunder Python released a massive amount of lightning into the chain.

Seeing this, Li Tianxing hurriedly recalled his heaven-locking chain.

Wang Lan and Lin Pang also acted at this moment; one summoned a Flying Sword, while the other summoned a spear.

Both Magical Artifacts attacked the Thunder Python simultaneously, and both of their attacks wounded it.

Wei Yu came up from behind. He had been sent flying earlier and was not lightly injured, but the temptation of the thunder spirit fruit made him unwilling to give up, so he rushed over to join the battle.

The four joined forces to continuously attack the Thunder Python. Li Tianxing was responsible for restricting its movements, while the other three seized the opportunity, raining down a barrage of attacks targeting the Thunder Python.

Before long, the Thunder Python was completely slain.

Before the group could rest for even a moment, Li Tianxing and Wang Lan took the initiative to turn on the other two. Since their strength far exceeded that of the other two, they quickly suppressed Lin Pang and Wei Yu.

"Fairy Wang, if you join hands with him, once he defeats us, you'll be next!" Lin Pang said anxiously.

"Hmph! I have long admired Fairy Wang, why would I resort to such underhanded methods?" Li Tianxing sneered.

However, the look in his eyes wasn't as relaxed as his words suggested. And although Wang Lan appeared calm on the surface, no one knew what she was thinking inside.

As the weakest among them, Wei Yu had already suffered considerable injuries earlier when besieging Tong Yansheng. Now facing Wang Lan, whose strength far surpassed his own, he gradually began to feel overwhelmed.

Wang Lan continuously drove her Flying Sword toward Wei Yu; with every slash that swept past, a streak of scalding blood was drawn.

Wei Yu gritted his teeth and endured, holding a Talisman tightly in his hand—it was a Third Grade Low Grade Lightning Tribulation Talisman.

Seeing this, Wang Lan quickly backed away to create distance between them.

On the other side, Li Tianxing completely suppressed Lin Pang in battle. His cultivation and strength were already superior to Lin Pang's, but he had also hidden part of his strength earlier, making others think he was merely mediocre. In truth, his power had already surpassed a normal Fifth Layer Purple Mansion Cultivator, making him stronger than most Sixth Layer Purple Mansion Cultivators.

"Hmph! Li Tianxing, you better remember this! I'll definitely settle this score with you in the future!" Seeing that he was no match for Li Tianxing at all, Lin Pang hurriedly pulled out a Third Grade Escape Technique Talisman and fled, throwing out harsh words before leaving.

However, as for Li Tianxing, he didn't care at all.

After their fight ended, Wang Lan also finished off Wei Yu.

Unfortunate Wei Yu happened to encounter Wang Lan; he couldn't run even if he wanted to, as he had no Escape Technique Talisman on hand to flee.

"Fairy Wang, now that they are taken care of, let's pick those thunder spirit fruits first," Li Tianxing said.

Wang Lan nodded.

The two of them came beneath the tree. Seeing that there were only five thunder spirit fruits on the tree, they fell silent and exchanged a glance before reaching out to pick them.

Right at that moment, Li Tianxing suddenly struck, attacking Wang Lan beside him.

Seeing this, Wang Lan, who was already on guard, flashed several paces away.

"As expected. I had already anticipated that you would attack me," Wang Lan spoke for the first time.

Li Tianxing looked at her coldly, a smile appearing on his face: "Unfortunately, it's just you and me here now. With your strength, you cannot possibly be my match."

"Oh? Is that so? What if you add me to the mix then?" A voice came from not far away.

Li Tianxing was startled and turned back to look. Wei Yu, who had originally fallen, had stood up at some point.

Pfft!

Just as he turned to look at Wei Yu, Wang Lan also made her move, hitting Li Tianxing with a strike that made him violently vomit blood.

"You two...? When did you join forces?" Li Tianxing asked in disbelief.

"What do you think?" Wang Lan said coldly, raising her sword to slash at Li Tianxing.

Wei Yu also struck from behind.

"So that's how it is! Your Wei Family and the Su Nü Palace had already joined forces, didn't you?" Li Tianxing realized the answer and sneered.

"It seems you aren't stupid after all," Wei Yu chuckled.

He had been playing dumb earlier, but in truth, it was all an act for these people to see.

Of course, his low cultivation was real, but his true strength was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

As one of the Purple Mansion factions in Heiyuan Valley, their Wei Family had actually been on the same level as Su Nü Palace over a hundred years ago because they also possessed a Pseudo-Core Realm Expert. That Old Ancestor of the Wei Family had left over a hundred years ago, and no one knew where he went afterward; they only knew his soul lamp had extinguished several decades ago, suggesting he had met with misfortune.

Now, their Family only had three Purple Palace Cultivators left. Among them, Wei Chen was at the Late Stage Purple Mansion, while another had a cultivation level not far behind him.

Their Wei Family was different from other families—or rather, families in Heiyuan Valley differed from those outside—they did not determine seniority by generational names, but rather, whoever had the higher cultivation was the Old Ancestor.

After all, Heiyuan Valley only spoke of strength and weakness, nothing else.

As long as you were strong enough, even if you wiped out a faction in Heiyuan Valley, no one would come forward to accuse you, nor would anyone stop you.

Of course, precisely because of this, the factions here did not need to hand over resources like in other places.

Because no matter how strong the Four Major Factions were, they didn't have the ability to suppress the entire Heiyuan Valley.

Behind Li Tianxing, four heaven-locking chains extended simultaneously, all twisting toward Wang Lan and Wei Yu.

Wang Lan summoned her Flying Sword to block the four heaven-locking chains.

Meanwhile, Wei Yu immediately threw out several Third Grade Talismans, some responsible for attacking and some for defense.

"Even if the two of you join forces, so what? You're still no match for me," Li Tianxing laughed.

"Once I kill you both, those five thunder spirit fruits will be mine."

"Is that so? Then I wonder if you feel anything wrong now?" The corner of Wang Lan's lips curled up.

"What...? Pfft!" Before he could finish speaking, he spewed a mouthful of black blood.

When Wang Lan and Wei Yu were fighting earlier, they had swallowed detoxification pills while scattering an invisible and intangible poisonous powder into the air.

At that time, besides Li Tianxing, Lin Pang had also inhaled this powder.
