Chapter 453: Jinyun wants to die together with it!

Ya mei sniffled fearfully, crying: "I, I also heard that there is something nearly a hundred years old living in here. This thing eats human flesh raw and swallows wild beasts whole."

Moreover, no gu insects can approach its body.

The skin is harder than iron.

Its mouth is bigger than a blood basin.

I heard that the masters of the generation before last, over twenty people originally wanted to jointly strangle it, but they all ended up dying here.

Later, this place was completely sealed off, becoming a forbidden area of the sect.

Only the sect masters of each generation can enter and leave this place once a year……

Li Qingluo looked toward Jinyun.

So, what exactly this thing is, only Jinyun herself knows.

Jinyun was still bleeding.

As her hand soaked longer in the pool water, the cavern shook more and more.

Soon, stones began to fall from above.

The swordsmen hurried forward, waving their blades, and protected their master in the middle.

Li Qingluo knew Jinyun was determined to do something.

So she did not step forward to intervene.

She merely kept watch, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

That thing had not yet emerged.

But Jinyun's blood must have already awakened it, which is why the shaking is so violent.

Come out, come out——

Lingjun let out a strange laugh and shouted.

You let me see, see what terrifying thing you are. You actually make everyone in my Witch Moon Sect fear you to this extent!

Anyway, my Lingjun's natal gu is dead; I'm already a lost cause, so what if I fight you to the death——

Ah!

A loud 'bang' sounded.

Only seen, a blue-gray thing suddenly slammed heavily into the water.

Then it coiled, Lingjun was drawn into that blue-gray thing, and then pulled, she was dragged into the pool water.

Lingjun was swiftly dragged forward.

Everyone watched helplessly as Lingjun was again coiled, breaking the water surface, and was brought back at top speed to beneath the great tree.

Then the blue-gray thing slammed Lingjun hard onto the ground.

Lingjun's head struck the stone on the spot, bursting open.

Red and white exploded everywhere.

Everyone's faces changed.

Lingjun's three children all cried out miserably: "Mother——"

But immediately after, they all recoiled in horror.

Because they finally saw clearly what that thing was!

It was that great tree.

No, not a tree.

It, it actually is a blue-gray giant python!

The part that just dragged Lingjun away was its tail.

And those branches, after it slowly retreated from a bright, straight massive stone, only then did everyone see that the tree grew from a crack in the stone, then extended from its head as a stone tree!

This giant python, that stone, and that tree have actually become three-in-one, standing all along in the most conspicuous place upon entering this realm.

Now, it has awakened.

Jinyun: "Do you know what this thing actually is?"

It is the natal gu personally raised by the Witch Moon Sect's sect master from a hundred years ago.

Back then, that sect master subdued this savage beast containing deadly poison, and has kept it here ever since.

But when her lifespan ended, she was unwilling to leave the mortal world. So she threatened the sect's witchcraft elders, using witchcraft to fuse her and this savage beast into one.

She originally intended to swallow her natal gu, so she could break the taboo that the Witch Moon Sect sect master cannot live past fifty.

However, she did not expect that she would instead be devoured by her own natal gu.

She lost her humanity and became a complete monster.

Back then, thirty elders of the sect died before she could be fully suppressed and sealed. Later, each year the current sect master must drip the sect master's blood into the pool on that fixed day.

To feed it with blood-water, and to continue sealing it with blood-water.

So for this hundred years, she has been imprisoned here. Unable to kill her, we can only keep watch.

If not for fifty years ago when someone with ill intent heard the rumor that there was a treasure here that could prolong life and preserve youth, and forcibly broke in, our Witch Moon Sect would not have suffered another round of great purge.

Since then, the sect's strength has suffered another major blow, and from then on it has gone into decline.

Today, the Witch Moon Sect has again been utterly exterminated because of this thing.

Ha ha. Ha ha ha——

But I cannot let it continue to bring calamity upon the world.

Luo er, you all hurry and leave.

I want to die together with her!

Jinyun finished speaking, and released her own natal gu.

A small red-gold snake.

As soon as the small snake was released, it twisted and turned, flying straight toward the gu python.

The gu python was opening its mouth to eat the spirit lord's corpse.

Hearing the commotion, it turned its head and shot its huge snake body toward the small golden snake.

The small golden snake made a nimble dodge, actually managing to evade.

Li Qingluo lifted her head to look upward.

Run?

She certainly had to run!

However, she did not intend to abandon Jinni.

"Lu'er, what are you planning?"

Nan Gongdi was confident they could leave now.

But seeing his beloved disciple obviously still had other thoughts.

As a master who cared for his disciple, he naturally could only indulge to the end.

However, if it were an ordinary giant python, it would still be easy to kill.

But this gu python, not even dozens of elders of the Witch Moon Sect could kill it; relying on them, Nan Gongdi had no absolute confidence.

Li Qingluo: "Master, the martial arts of those Witch Moon Sect elders definitely cannot match my killing words. We might actually be able to give it a try."

"Furthermore, even if we can't kill it, we must give it a good punishment!"

Having said that, Li Qingluo, who had studied lightness skill this year and achieved some success, leapt onto a stone on the cliff wall.

It was still raining up there.

She intended to lure lightning again.

Deciding swiftly, Li Qingluo shouted loudly: "Lure it into the pond water!"

After saying that, she drew the Azure Fall Sword and pointed it at the sky.

But she had already used witchcraft twice today, and now she felt somewhat unable to muster strength.

After chanting just two lines, blood already welled up in her mouth.

Li Qingluo could only endure the pain and shout again: "Heaven, lend me——"

At the same time, the killing words they dragged the not-yet-dead Witch Moon Sect followers from the ground, and under Nan Gongdi's lead they all grabbed weapons and charged forward.

The gu python swung its tail, opened its bloody maw, and prepared to unleash a massacre.

However, this time the individuals it encountered were all martial arts masters.

The killing words were not like those Witch Moon Sect elders who only threw gu worms and chanted witchcraft curses.

Every one of their moves was aimed at killing the gu python.

But the gu python's hide and flesh were truly tough.

Indeed, the blade could not harm it in the slightest.

However, everyone had had enough of fighting it.

Moreover, their jumping up and down agitated the gu python to extreme fury.

In its fury, it opened its mouth and ate several Witch Moon Sect followers who had been following the spirit lord.

Moreover, the killing words all nimbly dodged it, and having also listened to Li Qingluo's words, they unanimously worked together to lure it into the pond.

Seeing this, Li Qingluo hastily slashed downward with the Azure Fall Sword——

A heaven-shaking bolt of thunder and lightning struck down into the pond!

All that could be seen was the gu python's painful few wobbles, and in an instant it sank straight to the bottom of the pond.

Before anyone could even feel happy, Jinni said: "This way it cannot be killed!"
