Chapter 55: Heart Like a Snake or Scorpion

"Open..."

He Pingsheng had nowhere left to retreat!

He waved his hand, and the talisman turned into a fireball the size of a foot, flying out with a roar, shooting into the giant python's mouth.

The speed was too fast; the giant python couldn't dodge at all.

Boom...

The Fire Bomb Talisman exploded inside the giant python's mouth.

Clatter, clatter...

Red blood immediately fell from the sky.

In pain, the giant python naturally couldn't continue to swallow He Pingsheng, but it was in extreme pain; its huge head twisted and swung violently, slamming into He Pingsheng's body.

At this moment, He Pingsheng had also been well prepared.

He deployed a layer of Earth Armor outside his body, and another layer of Fire Shield.

Besides that, the top-tier magic tool 【Green Wood Shield】 was also deployed by him.

A full three layers of defense.

These three layers of shields, even a twelfth-layer Qi Condensation cultivator might not be able to break through in one go.

However, the golden giant python above was at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Bang...

He Pingsheng was instantly sent flying.

The three layers of shields he deployed were torn apart as if they were made of paper.

The Green Wood Shield was also knocked and landed on the ground in the distance.

He Pingsheng's body also flew up more than ten zhang, then slammed fiercely onto the ground.

"Puff... puff, puff..."

After landing, he vomited several mouthfuls of blood in succession.

The ferocity of the Foundation Establishment stage was not something a Qi Condensation disciple could understand.

Fortunately, He Pingsheng possessed three layers of shields, and the power of that strike just now was only the release of the giant python's power while in pain, not a true attack; otherwise, it was really hard to say whether He Pingsheng could survive at this moment.

"Roar..."

The golden giant python looked at He Pingsheng, infinite hatred rising in its pair of vertical pupils, and then it was about to fly over.

Just at this moment, He Pingsheng's master, Master Yu Ning, finally arrived late.

"Beast... how dare you hurt my disciple?"

Master Yu Ning stepped out and landed in the void, shaking the whisk in her hand violently, and white silk threads flew down, entangling the giant python.

The giant python and Master Yu Ning fought together, and for a moment, they were evenly matched.

"Damn beast!" At this moment, the master of Hongde Garden, True Person Yude, finally walked out of his training ground; with a loud shout, he controlled the golden giant python.

"What's going on?"

After controlling the golden giant python, Yude looked at Master Yu Ning: "Tian Shimei... why are you fighting with this beast?"

"Hmph..." Master Yu Ning snorted coldly: "This is not something you should ask yourself; why did the giant python suddenly fly out from your palace to hurt people? Just look at my disciple; half a breath later, he would have lost his life!"

At this moment, He Pingsheng had already stood up from the ground; he found and picked up his Green Wood Shield.

Then he didn't dare to look up, fearing that Yude would recognize him.

Of course, he was overthinking it.

Yude didn't recognize He Pingsheng.

"Kid, what's going on?" Yude asked He Pingsheng sternly.

He Pingsheng said: "Returning to Senior Uncle, there was a Daoist boy under your gate who said he was acting on your decree to invite me to Hongde Garden for questioning. I followed him to the entrance of Hongde Garden, but I didn't see you, old master, and only saw this giant python rush out from your training ground, nearly swallowing the disciple!"

"Daoist boy?" Yude's pupils shrank: "No... this seat didn't summon you?"

"You must not wrong this seat!"

Yude stared at He Pingsheng.

"Senior Uncle!" At this moment, Zhao Linger walked out and said: "I can testify, it was done by the Daoist boy 【Mingzhu】 under your gate."

"Good, good, good!" Master Yu Ning sneered: "Wang Shixiong, this is a Daoist boy under your gate, killing people in your name!"

Yude's face turned as black as coal: "Where is Mingzhu... get out here, this old man wants to ask, who gave him the guts!"

"Grandfather... Grandfather..."

Just at this moment, Linglong led a group of people out from Hongde Garden and said: "Grandfather... this guy Mingzhu actually dared to fake the holy decree and nearly harmed Junior Brother He!"

"I have already brought him to justice on the spot!"

"Look!"

Bang...

Several disciples threw a corpse onto the ground.

Who else could it be but Mingzhu?

This...

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Dead?

Dead men tell no tales?

He Pingsheng took a deep breath and looked at Linglong; if he didn't know what was going on at this moment, he could really just go die.

It must be that she was resentful because he refused to help this woman refine elixirs, so she made up a reason to trick him into going, and then drove the golden giant python to kill him.

If He Pingsheng were killed, then all the blame would be pushed onto the young Daoist Mingzhu.

Good planning.

How vicious!

A snake-and-scorpion woman.

Linglong's gaze also looked over.

In her gaze, it was full of provocation, arrogance, and a trace of being high and mighty.

"Wang Shixiong!" Master Yu Ning said: "As far as I know, this disciple of mine has no dealings with the Daoist boy of your Hongde Garden, let alone any grudges; if you don't give me an explanation for this matter, even if I go to the Grandmaster, I will seek justice!"

"He Pingsheng, do you have any grudges with Mingzhu?"

After Master Yu Ning finished speaking, she turned her head to look at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng shook his head: "No... before just now, I didn't even know the name Mingzhu!"

"Then it's an accident!" Yude concluded directly: "This beast doesn't understand human nature; maybe it hadn't seen Junior Nephew He and attacked out of fright!"

"No!" In the distance, Zhao Linger shouted: "Senior Uncle... it was clearly Linglong who asked Junior Brother He to refine elixirs and was refused, so she designed a trap!"

"You must investigate clearly!"

"Otherwise, why would Mingzhu fake your decree to let He Pingsheng go? This doesn't make sense!"

Swish...

Everyone's gaze fell on Linglong.

Linglong was in a panic: "Nonsense... I didn't... I didn't..."

Yude's gaze also fell sharply on Linglong.

He knew his granddaughter's personality too well, but he couldn't just sacrifice his granddaughter because of this, right?

"Junior Nephew He... what do you think?" Yude looked at He Pingsheng: "You are the person involved, you have the right to speak!"

He Pingsheng thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "The disciple doesn't know the truth, but thinking about it, it was just because of refusing to refine elixirs; Senior Sister Linglong shouldn't be so snake-and-scorpion hearted!"

He Pingsheng naturally wanted to kill Linglong.

But he knew it was impossible.

Since he couldn't kill the other party in one blow, it was better to take a step back.

Otherwise, being hoarse and exhausted was just a foolish cry.

How could someone high and mighty kill their granddaughter for his sake?

Even if he were an inner sect disciple, so what?

This wasn't cowardice; it was taking a step back to hide and find an opportunity.

"Hehehe... Junior Nephew He makes sense!" Yude smiled and said: "Fine, this old man thinks this is just a misunderstanding; let it be, let it be, I will continue to investigate this matter!"

"I hope Junior Nephew He won't take offense; here is some compensation..."

"Take it first, and when I have progress here, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

A treasure bag was thrown over.

He Pingsheng took it directly.

Don't take it for free.

"Tian Shimei... what do you think?" Yude looked at Master Yu Ning again.

Master Yu Ning nodded: "Fine... let it be for now!"

"Pingsheng, Linger..." Master Yu Ning turned to look at her disciples: "You two, come with me!" ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
