Chapter 479: Chapter 58: Don’t blame us for leaving first [Seeking monthly tickets!]_1

"Huh?"

This question from Chu Liang made the white-clothed youth pause, momentarily dumbfounded.

After a while, he frowned and said: "What do you mean ’am I sure’? Could I possibly be tricking you? My very own father is Zhao Duanyang, a name that anyone close to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Poisons would recognize."

You’re not tricking me.

But whether or not you’re tricking your father is another matter.

Of course, it would be indiscreet to say any more than that; it would be no different from hurling insults. So Chu Liang veered the conversation into another direction: "This spirit plant is obviously a natural product of this area. I discovered it first. If you guys want to snatch it, I’m ready to fight."

"Heh heh..." The white-clothed youth sneered when it came to that: "Then don’t blame us..."

In his eyes, the boy in front of him seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. Even if he was a disciple from Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, how powerful could he be? Could he really fight against three people by himself?

Before he even finished speaking, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from behind him: "Roar——"

Boom, boom, boom!

The waterfall curtain exploded, and the flowing river was abruptly cut off.

It was as if the door to this water cave was suddenly opened, revealing a demon god-like uninvited guest outside the door.

A grisly and cold giant python head appeared outside the cave, its pair of cold, vertical pupils filled with cruelty and anger. It was like a cat staring at a mouse hole.

"Ah!" The three young men and women were suddenly horrified. "Blood Mist Poison Dragon Python! This is a poisonous beast from the depths of the Mountain of Ten Thousand Poisons. How did it get here?"

"Hiss——"

The python spat out its forked tongue. The bright red tongue was about ten feet long, scaring the three people at the entrance of the cave and forcing them to scramble to Chu Liang’s side.

The cave was too small for the Blood Mist Poison Dragon Python; it couldn’t even fit its head in. All it could do was to let out a few angry roars at the entrance of the cave. Its vertical pupils kept shifting within the cave, seemingly searching for something.

Chu Liang, observing its agitated state, suddenly understood... the Jade Pot Immortal Plant here was not unclaimed. Its guardian creature just wasn’t nearby - it probably only came by to check periodically via the river.

This Blood Mist Poison Dragon Python was clearly looking for the Jade Pot Immortal Plant!

"Relax, everyone try to stay calm!" Observing the python’s state, the white-clothed youth also called for calm: "It can’t get in," he said, waving his hand.

"But what if it spews poisonous fog into the cave?" The youth in yellow spoke in a panic: "The mist it expels can cause hallucinations instantly, and it can turn into concentrated liquid in a matter of moments!"

Just as the python heard these words, it abruptly raised its head and, opening two massive jaws, it spewed out a thick, blood-colored fog!

"Why would you remind it to do that?!" the white-clothed youth yelled in anger.

With no other exits from the cave, the blood fog quickly filled a large section of it. They were trapped inside and would be liquefied alive in no time!

After quietly observing for a moment, Chu Liang could no longer sit by and do nothing.

First, he threw a few elixirs to the other three people. "Eat this. They can prevent hallucinations. Follow me!" he said,

Having said that, he jumped up and flew out of the cave amidst the blood mist.

The giant python had its huge head blocking the entrance to the cave. Just as it was about to swallow Chu Liang whole, he dealt a powerful punch to the roof of its mouth while mid-air!

Thump——

The punch was so heavy and powerful, it was beyond the physical limits of a human. The Blood Mist Poison Dragon Python was caught off guard.

Its head jerked upwards, highlighting a distinct swell on its cheek.

"Roar——" It tilted back heavily, letting out a pained roar.

Chu Liang soared into the sky, taking the opportunity to unleash his full power. He had been restricted in the cave earlier, for fear that he would accidentally harm the other people and the butterfly. But now, he was free to act as he pleased.

He then whisked out his Dustless Sword. As he pinched his hand seals, a massive sword aura fell from the sky with a thunderous sound!

The giant python had been enraged by the punch just now. It opened its massive mouth and spewed out an endless amount of poisonous fog, wanting to engulf Chu Liang!

But as Chu Liang’s sword fell, the sword aura shattered the blood mist in an instant!

Whoosh——

Even with its scale armor, it couldn’t withstand the Heaven Lifting Sword energized by the dual force of Geng Metal True Qi. The massive sword aura cleaved into its head, splitting the python in two!

Boom——

The two colossal halves of the python’s body crashed heavily into the river, its dark red blood instantly staining the entire stretch of the river.

It was over in a quick and clean stroke.

A ruthless sword strike to kill.

The following three people from the Red River Sect saw this scene clearly, leaving them speechless in astonishment.

Although the Blood Mist Poison Dragon Python didn’t quite live up to its name, it didn’t possess the bloodline of the Dragonkin, and the name "Poisonous Dragon" was seemingly pulled out of thin air... it was, after all, a formidable Fifth Realm demon beast, capable of surviving deep within the Mountain of Ten Thousand Poisons.

Chu Liang killed it with just one sword-strike.

This completely surpassed their understanding.

In the eyes of these disciples from small sects and schools, they realized that even if they knew the celestial prodigy of the Immortal Sect was strong, they didn’t know exactly how strong. At this moment, they understood that the gap between people can be as vast as the sky itself.

After the dust settled, the river flowed continuously again, and the waterfall fell once more. The blood was quickly washed away, leaving only the giant python’s body—half on the land, half in the water—creating a horrifying sight.

Chu Liang turned his gaze back to the white-clothed youth and asked, "You didn’t finish speaking earlier. What were you saying about not blaming you guys?"

"Hehe..." The white-clothed young man smiled again, which was more akin to a cry, "Young Hero, we will definitely repay our debt for saving our lives when we get the chance! We must go ahead now, hope you don’t mind!"

Having said that, the three of them hurriedly fled, afraid that Chu Liang would hold them accountable.

This was somewhat overthinking on their part.

With Chu Liang’s current wealth, even if he killed these three people and stripped them of all their possessions, it would not equal one day’s worth of his income. He had absolutely no interest in arguing with them.

He bid his fairy butterfly farewell, then hurried back to Shu Mountain.

Time was precious.

He had to hunt the Wine Jar Demon that night.

...

But indeed, Mountain of Ten Thousand Poisons is quite a good place. Even though it’s riddled with demonic creatures and a myriad of poisons, making it extremely perilous... these features, in a certain sense, make it a happy hunting ground for Chu Liang. Surprises such as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures make it a perfect place to hunt target monsters.

For Chu Liang now, it’s a new area ready to be explored.

First, he went to Tontian Peak, handed over all the newly refined poisonous threads to Wen Yulong for further work on strengthening the Demon Binding Rope, and then returned to Silver Sword Peak.

As soon as he got back, he found a message from Senior Sister Jiang.

Hence, he rushed to Red Cotton Peak.

The signboard of "Red Moon Square" was already hung, although the store hadn’t started business yet. Inside the main gate, the first food tasting was in progress.

Xu Hongqiu, through the connections of the Whale Guild, had found some channels for hunting demon beasts, and the first batch of ingredients for the hotpot restaurant had been delivered. But many of these varied ingredients were unfamiliar and whether they could be eaten had to be tested.

Then, one could see an attendant, Attendant B, sitting solemnly before the table, facing a steaming hot spicy boiling pot.

He held the bowl and chopsticks with a serious craftsman’s spirit on his face.

"First item, Changling Grass." Xu Hongqiu ordered someone to serve today’s first dish.

This Changling Grass is a type of Spirit Plant, common but not rare, growing in many places abundant with spiritual energy, often accompanying other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

It’s good for medical use and alchemy, it’s just unclear whether it will be suitable for hotpot.

Attendant B took a piece solemnly, swished it in the pot a few times, and then chewed it in his mouth.

Under everyone’s gaze, he slowly shook his head, "It does not get fully cooked, it’s too tough."

Once he made his comment, Xu Hongqiu ordered directly, "Eliminate."

"Second item, Yellow Scale Tiger."

This was a demon beast carcass sold to certain stores by hunters, which was then bought by the Whale Guild.

Just like the Blood Mist Poison Dragon Python that Chu Liang killed earlier, he could’ve sold it if he wanted to. But its body was too large for storage in a magical storage tool and full of deadly poisons, making it inconvenient to deal with, which was why Chu Liang gave it up.

Attendant B picked up a piece of well-trimmed meat, dipped it in the pot, and then tasted it.

After a moment, he gave a verdict: "Swish it in the pot for thirteen seconds, six up, seven down. The taste is the best this way. It’s good."

"Take this to the back kitchen." Xu Hongqiu immediately gave his orders.

"Third item, Yueshan Blood Puffer."

Another dish arrived quickly, and Attendant B once again picked up his chopsticks.

Swish a little, have a taste, then, with a calm demeanor, he said: "This one is absolutely not acceptable, although the meat is tender and fairly tasty, it’s poisonous."

After he finished speaking, with a ’plop’, he face-planted onto the table.

"Hey? Quick, save him!"
