Chapter 261: Chapter 228: Eliminating the Python

Seeing this scene.

Yinmei was also a bit dumbfounded. Where did this fierce monk come from, able to face this beast, the Silver python, which is nearly stepping into the Heavenly Yuan Realm!

Could this bald donkey be another beast transformed?

Obviously this is impossible; beasts do have special abilities, their emitted gases can cause hallucinations in opponents, some are extremely poisonous and good at invisibility, some can fly, some have supersonic speed, but no beast has ever been able to transform into a human shape.

So, this monk named Fahai is truly formidable!

After beating the Silver python, the monk wasn’t done yet. He wielded his staff and charged forward, sending shadows of the staff raining down on the python’s head.

The Silver python was also enraged. Earlier, caught off guard, it was stunned by the blow. Now, having come to its senses, it won’t allow a mere human to overpower it again.

With an angry hiss, its large body spun rapidly, forming a tornado. Wherever it passed, sand and stones flew, and vegetation was swept into the air.

The momentum was truly terrifying!

Fahai was exceptionally brave and fierce, showing no fear and swinging the staff in a battle against the python. Despite its attacks, the monk’s robust physique was exceptionally agile, dodging every move.

This monk evidently possesses a highly advanced body technique, easily surpassing Lin Miao’s "Wild Goose Travel".

Yinmei saw the situation and turned to rush out of the valley.

"Yinmei, where do you think you’re going!" Si Miaoxue noticed Yinmei’s attempt to flee; she couldn’t allow him the opportunity.

Having been watching closely, she immediately blocked his path.

"Miaoxue, little girl, you’re not my match, better stand aside!" Despite being in a shabby state, Yinmei still showed the demeanor of a master.

"Impossible!"

"Since you refuse to appreciate kindness, I’ll capture you and hand you over to the Holy Master for disposal!" Yinmei was truly angered. Never has he been left so destitute like today. If not for that Silver python; if he faced only that bald donkey and Si Miaoxue, tonight might just be the end of everything for him.

Luckily, he sensed danger and lured the not-so-clever beast out to hold off that bald monk.

He couldn’t fathom how Si Miaoxue found such a master. This bald donkey’s combat prowess would rank among the top ten in the Moon Worship Sect!

Such a master isn’t like cabbage, easily found anywhere.

Rumor has it that Long Po had some unclear dealings with a monk from the Reclining Buddha Temple. Could this be that monk?

But it can’t be right; Reclining Buddha Temple is thousands of miles from Dongshan. Though the monks there all possess remarkable martial arts, none are known to use a staff as a weapon...

As Yinmei was distracted.

Swish!

Si Miaoxue slashed down with a sword as if it were a snow-white ribbon.

Lin Miao finally witnessed her true combat strength. Facing such an opponent, Si Miaoxue naturally did not hold back, unleashing her full power.

Under normal circumstances, Si Miaoxue indeed wouldn’t be able to defeat Yinmei. After all, he has been renowned for years, a peer of her master, and his cultivation level is a notch above hers.

But the problem is, after being poisoned by the "Breath-breaking Fragrance", he has been fleeing, not having a moment to stop and expel the remaining poison within him.

Naturally, his power was reduced.

Yet, even so, Yinmei’s strength is still above Si Miaoxue’s, but he couldn’t easily take her down because her strategy was not to confront him directly, but to stall him, preventing his escape.

The intention was obvious.

She was waiting for the monk to deal with the Silver python and for Yue Mei’Er to come over with Yue Wu and others to assist.

Truly, the most heinous is a woman’s heart.

In his distraction, Yinmei was almost swept by Si Miaoxue’s long sword. But then he noticed Lin Miao observing nearby.

Lin Miao suddenly felt a chill all over, his hair standing up.

A warning alarm blared in his mind.

He was targeted by Yinmei.

Yet, within a moment, everything returned to normal, but he knew it was just an illusion. Since the other had discovered him, they wouldn’t spare him.

Surely, he was being secretly watched, and any move on his part would prompt Yinmei to strike at him first.

Lin Miao’s mind raced.

He couldn’t remain passive; while his cultivation is the weakest, it doesn’t mean he lacks the ability to fight. Moreover, Yinmei aims to flee, not to fight desperately.

However, their goal tonight is to capture Yinmei.

Take the risk!

Only by risking can there be a slim chance.

Lin Miao decided to pretend as if unaware, keeping eyes locked onto the battle between Si Miaoxue and Yinmei and looking worriedly concerned whenever Si Miaoxue faced a slight danger...

All these expressions were caught by Yinmei.

As cunning as he is, Yinmei determined after a few glances that Lin Miao and Si Miaoxue have a close relationship, thus making a decision.

"Si Miaoxue, don’t push me." Yinmei called out sharply in genuine anger, leaping at Si Miaoxue.

Bang, bang...

The sound of fierce collisions sent a dreadful shockwave that stung Lin Miao’s cheeks.

Watching the battle between Meridian Passage Realm experts fulfilled Lin Miao’s wuxia fantasy about martial clashes in novels, truly captivating.

"Yinmei, you’ll not escape today!" Si Miaoxue gritted her teeth in response, using all her strength just to barely stop Yinmei, preventing escape until Fahai dealt with the Silver python and Yue Mei’Er arrives with reinforcements.

"Si Miaoxue, is that little man your lover? I’ll capture him first..." Yinmei suddenly chuckled like a "nightingale", his figure twisting in mid-air like a phantom darting towards Lin Miao.

His fame was inseparable from his phantom-like body technique.

"No!"

Lin Miao saw this and was greatly alarmed, quickly retreating with a look of panic on his face...

However, his cultivation was far lower than the opponent’s. Even though he retreated first, the poison of the Yin Charm was too fast, catching up in no time and gripping his throat in a couple of moves.

Facing the grinning face of the Yin Charm, Si Miaoxue was scared out of her wits and frantically chased after: "Yin Charm, let Mr. Lin go!"

"Mr. Lin, heh heh, Si Miaoxue, you little bitch, he really is your little lover..." Yin Charm used Lin Miao as a shield, blocking himself in front and let out a sinister chuckle.

"Yin Charm, I can let you go, but you must release him!" Si Miaoxue, seeing Lin Miao captured, was instantly panicked.

If something happened to Lin Miao, she didn’t even know what she would do.

"Release him? Heh, do you think I would so easily..." Before finishing the sentence, Yin Charm’s face changed color drastically. He realized that the arm gripping Lin Miao suddenly went numb, reflexively loosening his grip.

Lin Miao retaliated with an Absolute Yin Hand he had been preparing, striking fiercely at Yin Charm’s heart.

"Kid, you tricked me..." Yin Charm said in disbelief, mouth agape.

Bang!

Yin Charm’s body was suddenly blasted dozens of meters away.

Absolute Yin Hand!

Yin Charm, now unable to control himself, spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"Yin Charm, did you think what you saw was the complete truth?" Lin Miao moved his neck slightly, letting out a cold laugh, "Everything I did just now, expressions and actions, was to entice you to attack me. That way, I could get close for a killing blow."

"So you knew all along? How despicable!" Yin Charm was broken, eyes full of resentment and indignation. A hunter every day, he never thought he’d be blinded by a fledgling goose. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"We can’t beat you; how else can we kill you without a trick?" Lin Miao chuckled.

"Mr. Lin, are you okay?" Si Miaoxue rushed over with her sword, anxiously inquiring.

"I’m fine, Miaoxue. Your timing was perfect just now," Lin Miao praised. Si Miaoxue’s cry of "No" was heartfelt; in that instant, he caught the pride in Yin Charm’s eyes, allowing him to easily seal Yin Charm’s arm points with a silver needle.

"I didn’t..." Si Miaoxue blushed. She wasn’t cooperating; she thought Lin Miao was truly held by Yin Charm.

Yin Charm, injured, was no longer a match for Si Miaoxue and was directly captured.

Though Lin Miao’s cultivation wasn’t high, his mastery of Absolute Yin Hand had reached a consummate level.

To prevent him from playing tricks, they fed him a Majin Elixir to completely strip his combat ability and immobilize him.

The dignified Moon Worship Sect’s four great Protectors, a Peak of Meridian Passage Realm master, had fallen to become a captive.

In fact, it was risky. If the trick had failed, Lin Miao would have been in trouble. Yin Charm might not have killed him, but it would’ve undoubtedly hindered Si Miaoxue and the others.

Fortunately, he gambled and won.

Compared to the battle with Fahai and the silver python, this battle was mere play.

That man and snake fought from mid-air to the ground, then from the ground back to mid-air. The shockwaves from the battle ravaged the valley, leaving it in shambles.

So it’s best not to provoke such a bald monk.

"Mr. Lin, how did you convince such a powerful Fahai monk to help you?"

"Shanglin Temple owes me," Lin Miao explained.

"Was it about your senior sister’s affair last time?" Si Miaoxue instantly understood. Although the matter had passed, Shanglin Temple played an unglamorous role, which Lin Miao hadn’t forgotten, just not yet found the opportunity to challenge it.

Fahai had come for Lin Miao, but they didn’t reach an agreement and parted on bad terms. Shanglin Temple was too strong, and Lin Miao wanted revenge, but couldn’t tackle it head-on. He had to bide his time; trouble brewing could jeopardize his senior sister’s reputation.

He hadn’t killed Mr. Xue directly, considering the senior sister’s reputation. As long as Xue lived, the matter wouldn’t be exposed.

Marquis Lingyang’s Mansion, too, held concerns.

Once someone’s dead, it’s impossible to hide.

"You wretched beast, today your monk granddaddy will subdue you!" Fahai, in the heat of battle, wielded his staff like a blazing fire wheel.

The silver python, struck dizzy, thought it shouldn’t have come out tonight, encountering such a ferocious bald human...

Though a beast, the silver python had some wit, knowing it couldn’t defeat this human, and conceived the idea of retreat.

If it found shelter in its lair, could he pursue it?

"Monk, I’m here to help!" Lin Miao was stirred by the excitement. Having seen many snake disaster movies in his past life, he considered them thrilling. Now that he encountered one, how could he stay passive?

Lin Miao’s assistance was finding a large stone nearby and hurling it brutally at the silver python battling Fahai.

The silver python was agile but engaged in battle and preoccupied with Fahai’s attacks. It couldn’t evade Lin Miao’s sudden ambush and got hit squarely in the middle.

In pain!

The snake tail scraped the ground, sweeping towards Lin Miao’s position.

The tail barbs gleamed coldly, clearly envenomed, aiming at Lin Miao. Prepared, he grasped a large tree and swiftly ascended.

The tree was snapped by the snake tail, and Lin Miao flipped from it, landing seven to eight meters away.

Tossing a gourd filled with strong liquor over.

"Miaoxue!"

"Coming!"

The blades crossed mid-air, sparks shot over, and when strong liquor met the sparks, it instantly exploded in the air. It then fell onto the silver python’s body.

Boom!

A massive blaze erupted over the silver python, which rolled its body frantically to extinguish the fire, gritted by the scorching pain.

How would Lin Miao give it a chance? He threw three or four gourds of strong liquor continuously, soaking the python, and instead of extinguishing, the blaze roared into the sky.

"Mr. Lin, don’t waste the good liquor, save a sip for the monk..." Fahai, catching the fragrance of strong liquor in the air, burst into even greater power, leaping and swinging his staff fiercely at the head of the silver python’s painful cry.

Despicable, the bald monk has no martial virtue!
