The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

Jiang Ning saw that the other party was heading towards the Qinling Mountains, and knew that the other party was trying to escape, so he did not hesitate and quickly chased after them.

This scene surprised everyone.

"Oh no! The beast is trying to escape!"

"Hero Jiang has caught up with them."

Should we go after them too?

After only a moment's hesitation, everyone followed.

……

Qinling.

The giant python crawled frantically ahead at an extremely fast speed.

The giant python, fleeing ahead, would occasionally glance back. Although it was pitch black behind it, it could sense that the tiny human was still chasing it; it had not shaken off the man.

The snake's instincts told it that if it continued like this, it would not only fail to shake off the dangerous human, but it would also likely die. The python immediately turned around and frantically crawled to the right.

It is going to find its mortal enemy.

That dead turtle.

Chapter 681: Fighting Turtle and Snake

Jiang Ning, who was in pursuit, was puzzled when he saw the giant python suddenly change its direction of escape, but he did not stop moving his feet.

Although this giant python is enormous, it is not slow at all. Especially in the Qinling Mountains, where there are many trees and weeds, and it is nighttime now, so it is easy to lose track of it if you are not careful.

call out!

Jiang Ning landed lightly on a thick branch, then leaped forward again, his figure jumping continuously in the dark night sky.

"Shh..."

At this moment, the middle-aged man who had spoken with Jiang Ning before felt an overwhelming urge to urinate. He got up to relieve himself in the middle of the night, and just as he was about to untie his belt, he suddenly noticed something flash by in the distance.

"Ok?"

The middle-aged man blinked, as if he had misread something, and quickly focused his attention. He saw a figure leaping continuously in the tree and his eyes widened in surprise.

"What is this?"

The middle-aged man saw that the figure was human-shaped, like a martial arts master who could leap across rooftops, but he quickly shook his head.

Who are these martial arts masters who go parkour in the deep mountains and forests in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

"Could it be that some mountain demon has come to life?"

The middle-aged man's expression changed instantly as he realized this possibility. This thought scared away most of his urge to urinate, and he lost all interest in doing so. He pulled up his pants, hurriedly ran back to his room, locked the door, and trembled with fear.

……

Unaware that he had unintentionally frightened someone, Jiang Ning continued chasing the giant python. He noticed that the python was crawling rapidly and he didn't know what it was trying to do. However, Jiang Ning noticed some claw marks appearing on the ground. Although there were only a few, they were the same claw marks that Jiang Ning had seen in a villager's house.

Is it looking for help?

Upon thinking of this, Jiang Ning's expression changed.

Thinking back to when he saw the anthropomorphic expression in the python's eyes in the village, and considering that the python now knows it can't win and is actively seeking help, this python has probably become intelligent.

hiss! !

At this moment, the giant python began to roar, as if calling for something, which made Jiang Ning even more certain that another strange beast was not far away.

Sure enough, after chasing the giant python for a while, Jiang Ning discovered a cave not far ahead, and the giant python was frantically crawling towards the cave.

Could there be another strange beast inside this cave?

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

As they approached the cave, the python's roars grew more urgent. To Jiang Ning, the roars sounded like a plea for help from its companions, but the python's true meaning was quite different.

Hey you dead turtle, come out here, I've brought you something good!

At this moment, another strange beast sleeping in the cave seemed to hear the voice of its mortal enemy and thought it was a hallucination. It snorted and woke up from its slumber. It opened its eyes and found that the voice had not disappeared but was becoming clearer and clearer. Realizing that its mortal enemy was outside, the beast's aura suddenly became fierce. It crawled out of the cave on all fours. As soon as it came out of the cave, it saw the dead snake that it hated rushing towards it.

Jiang Ning, who had chased the giant python to this place, finally saw what the other strange beast looked like.

It really was a giant tortoise.

This giant tortoise is enormous, resembling a small mountain.

Upon seeing the giant tortoise, Jiang Ning's expression darkened.

The giant python was indeed calling for help.

At this moment, the giant tortoise roared upon seeing the giant python, and the giant python responded in kind. To Jiang Ning, the exchange between the two giant beasts sounded like a plea for help between friends, but the true meaning was as follows.

'You dead snake, what are you doing? Want to fight again?'

'I brought you something; look what goodies I brought!'

"nice one?"

Look behind me.

later?

The giant tortoise was somewhat bewildered, then looked behind the giant python and indeed saw Jiang Ning.

The giant tortoise, unaware of the python's meaning, was somewhat bewildered, but clearly too lazy to bother. Since the other party wasn't there to fight, it prepared to return to its cave to continue sleeping. It wasn't interested in Jiang Ning, this insignificant human, and had no intention of helping him.

However, Jiang Ning, who believed that the two strange beasts were friends and that the giant tortoise was prepared to help the giant python, had already made his move.

call out!

Jiang Ning raised his sword and unleashed a massive sword aura that struck the giant tortoise's shell in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

The sword energy struck the tortoise shell, producing a loud sound, but the giant tortoise was completely unharmed, with not even a scratch on its shell.

The giant tortoise paused for a moment, then looked at Jiang Ning, roared, and charged towards him.

At this moment, the giant tortoise was enraged and wanted to tear Jiang Ning apart.

Jiang Ning's expression turned serious.

The python's scales were already strong enough for defense, but they were as fragile as paper when facing the True Martial Sword. However, when the True Martial Sword struck the tortoise shell, it left no mark. Such strong defense made Jiang Ning take it seriously.

Seeing the giant tortoise charging towards him, Jiang Ning was not surprised and continued to attack the giant python.

Now that the giant python is injured, it's time to press our advantage and deal with the giant python first before tackling the giant tortoise.

Roar!

The giant tortoise roared and charged toward Jiang Ning.

call out!

Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged. Just as the giant tortoise was about to crash into him, he flashed away. The giant tortoise then slammed into the tree that the two of them could barely encircle. The leaves rustled, and the tree broke off at the point of impact, falling to the ground with a loud thud.

The huge commotion behind him only caught Jiang Ning's peripheral vision before he leaped forward and struck the giant python with his sword.

hiss! !

The giant python cried out in pain.

It had already suffered many injuries in the village, and escaping here had taken a lot of effort. Now, with its injuries compounded, it was completely exhausted.

At this moment, the giant python looked at Jiang Ning with fear in its eyes.

Originally, it lured Jiang Ning over so that the giant tortoise would attract Jiang Ning's attention, allowing it to escape. However, Jiang Ning still held on tightly, leaving the giant python with no choice but to continue its escape.

Seeing that it was about to escape again, Jiang Ning continued the pursuit, which led to this scene.

The giant python fled in front, Jiang Ning chased after it, and even further behind was a furious giant tortoise.

Although turtles are generally docile, this one was a grumpy and petty turtle. Jiang Ning inexplicably stabbed it, and it was determined to kill Jiang Ning.

call out!call out!call out!

The giant python's crawling speed gradually slowed down. Although Jiang Ning couldn't catch up with it for the time being, one sword aura after another swept forward, closing the distance while continuously inflicting heavy damage on the giant python.

Finally, Jiang Ning leaped again, closing the distance between himself and the giant python to two body lengths. Without hesitation, Jiang Ning threw his sword, which accurately pierced the python's tail, pinning it firmly to the ground.

The giant python hissed in pain, its tail thrashing wildly, but the Zhenwu Sword remained unmoved.

Seeing that the giant python could not escape, Jiang Ning finally stopped and looked back at the giant tortoise that was still running towards him.

The giant tortoise has been chasing for so long without catching up, and it keeps roaring. It seems that it cares about its python friend and wants to rescue him.

Chapter 682: Subduing the Tortoise and the Snake

At this moment, the giant tortoise had already run over and bit Jiang Ning without saying a word. Jiang Ning leaped into the air, and the giant tortoise missed its bite. Jiang Ning then landed on the top of the giant tortoise's head.

With the True Martial Sword out of his hand, Jiang Ning punched the giant tortoise on the head, causing his true energy to surge.

The giant tortoise, however, felt nothing and even tried to bite him, but it was not as agile as the giant python and could not bite Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning's expression, however, did not improve much.

Although his punch to the python's head hadn't injured it, the python had at least felt pain. But the giant tortoise felt nothing, showing that its defense was superior to the python's.

Unable to bite Jiang Ning, the giant tortoise became even more agitated. It then frantically shook its head, throwing Jiang Ning off, and tried to bite him again, but still missed.

Faced with a giant tortoise with extremely high defense and enraged, and with the True Martial Sword not in his hand, Jiang Ning didn't have a good solution for the time being. He kept dodging and weaving, trying to think of a way to deal with the giant tortoise while also exhausting its stamina.

boom! boom! boom!

The giant tortoise attacked Jiang Ning repeatedly, knocking down countless trees, yet it continued its relentless assault on Jiang Ning as if it were tireless.

Meanwhile, the giant python, whose tail was pinned to the ground by the Zhenwu Sword and unable to escape, saw Jiang Ning entangled with the giant tortoise and twisted its head, trying to bite the Zhenwu Sword and escape. However, Jiang Ning noticed this movement from a distance.

Jiang Ning leaped into the air, heading towards the giant python. Just as the python was about to bite the Zhenwu Sword, Jiang Ning raised his leg, and true energy continuously gathered in his leg.

Bang!

Jiang Ning kicked out, striking the giant python hard on the head and knocking it to the ground.

The giant python was kicked so hard it was dizzy and disoriented, its eyes becoming somewhat unfocused.

Jiang Ning landed and stomped his feet to relieve the numbness in his legs.

That kick he just delivered was no ordinary feat. Even for an ordinary expert, the best outcome of such a kick would be decapitation, but the giant python was merely stunned by the impact, which speaks volumes about the beast's strength.

After temporarily dealing with the giant python, Jiang Ning turned to look at the giant tortoise.

By now, he had figured out how to deal with the giant tortoise.

Since this behemoth has extremely high defense and is difficult to harm from the outside, let's deal with it from the inside.

Without hesitation, Jiang Ning flipped over and leaped into the air just as the giant tortoise was about to crash into him, landing on its back.

Feeling the tiny human on its back, the giant tortoise roared angrily, twisting its body in an attempt to throw Jiang Ning off, but its size made it impossible. It could only charge around in impotent rage, knocking down rows of trees.

Jiang Ning remained calm, raised his palm, gathered a large amount of true energy in his hand, and then slammed it down, striking the giant tortoise's shell. The true energy exploded, and an invisible current of energy spread outwards from Jiang Ning, causing the leaves to rustle and dust to fly.

At this moment, the giant tortoise paused, its eyes became somewhat unfocused, its limbs swayed a few times, and then it collapsed to the ground.

Seeing the giant tortoise fall, Jiang Ning flipped over and jumped off its back.

At this moment, Jiang Ning's face was pale and his breathing was slightly rapid.

His internal strength is insufficient.

It's hard to imagine that his palm strike just now would have left him with insufficient internal energy.

Since reaching the peak of the fourth level of the Innate Skill, Jiang Ning's internal strength has become extremely profound. Even Jiang Ning himself does not know how profound his internal strength is, but that attack just now exhausted almost half of his internal strength.

Jiang Ning's palm strike just now seemed simple, but he mobilized most of his internal energy and channeled it into the giant tortoise's body through his palm, stirring up its internal organs and eliminating it from the inside.

So far, the results have been quite remarkable.

However, the consequence was that Jiang Ning felt a lack of internal energy for the first time in a long time. If that palm strike just now couldn't defeat the giant tortoise, then he would have no choice but to retreat.

At this moment, the giant python stopped twisting and struggling. Its snake eyes looked towards Jiang Ning, its head still, and a look of terror could be seen in its eyes.
