Chapter 111: Python Pearl!

  Hmph!

  The fierce sword energy first pierced the chest of the young man in white, and the long sword followed suit, entering his body. The power contained in the sword suddenly burst forth, turning his internal organs into minced meat!

  "Ah!"

  The young man in white clothes let out a thunderous roar, his remaining right eye bulging with blood, and under the verge of death, he frantically swung his sword, wanting to drag Qin Yun down to destruction.

  However, Qin Yun was prepared and quickly withdrew the Qingxiao Sword, his body flashing backwards to narrowly avoid the counterattack.

  "Hehe..."

  The young man in white clothes with a huge blood hole in his right chest sneered, his laughter filled with unspeakable despair and regret. He suddenly reached out to grab the sword tip, using both arms to bend the long sword like a bow, pointing directly at Qin Yun's retreating direction.

  What is this for?

  Qin Yun was taken aback, he couldn't see the intention of his opponent, but instinctively felt danger, so without hesitation, he cast out Iron Wall Flame to protect himself.

  Bang!

  Accompanied by a sound like porcelain shattering on the ground, the sword in the young man's hand suddenly turned into countless fragments that shot out in all directions.

  Each shard of ice contained a terrifying aura, tearing through the air with an eerie whistling sound, instantly enveloping the surrounding space within a range of dozens of steps.

  Self-Destructing Sword Body!

  This is a swordsman's final counterattack, the last killer move under thorough despair!

  The sword body shattered and first pierced the young man in white's own body, then collided with Qin Yun's sword net, the sound of clashing ringing incessantly.

  Several shards of broken blade broke through Qin Yun's defense and hit his chest and arm, fortunately the force was greatly weakened after entering the flesh was relatively shallow, and the injury was not serious.

  After launching this attack, the young man in white also exhausted his last strength, staring at Qin Yun with an unbearable unwillingness and fell to the ground.

  It's not him who is the most unlucky.

  That disciple who turned back to support him had just launched a sword attack on Qin Yun, when the white-clothed young man suddenly self-destructed his sword body and happened to be standing in the most lethal position.

  Under the sudden attack, he didn't even have time to defend himself and was pierced by dozens of flying shards, turning him into a sieve. His body sprayed blood wildly as he fell to the ground, screaming in agony, and it seemed like he wouldn't survive either.

  Qin Yun didn't even glance at him, nor did he tend to the bleeding wound on his body. With a swift movement, he sheathed his long sword and darted towards the tunnel entrance of the cave, chasing after the last fleeing disciple.

  The young man in white and others want to kill people and seize treasures, so between the two parties, it is either you die or I die, there is no third way out. Qin Yun absolutely does not allow one person to escape.

  Otherwise, I really don't know what kind of trouble he will bring, after all, four people died at his hands!

  In his haste, Qin Yun didn't care about the consumption of his true energy and went all out to urge the Floating Light Shadow Body Technique, instantly covering a distance of dozens of steps, and immediately saw the background of his opponent.

  That older disciple didn't run very fast, he was still hesitating whether to really abandon his companions, but he never thought that this hesitation would cost him his life.

  It turned out that Qin Yun was chasing from behind, the older disciple was suddenly frightened and fled with all his might, and he regretted it to the extreme in his heart.

  His qinggong cultivation was quite good, perhaps it was one of the reasons why he hesitated and didn't run far.

  But Qin Yun's cultivation of Floating Light Shadow had reached a high level, and with the support of his Nine Yang Mysterious Skill true energy, his speed was absolutely faster than his opponent. With all his might, he quickly caught up.

  The older brother was in a panic and didn't choose his path carefully, and he wasn't very familiar with the surrounding terrain either. In his haste, he almost crashed head-on into the nearby stalactite pillar.

  As he saw Qin Yun chasing after him, his tightly strung heart suddenly collapsed, and his face was filled with a desperate expression.

  He suddenly stopped in his tracks, dropped the weapon in his hand and knelt down with a thud, begging: "This junior brother, for the sake of everyone being from the same school, please spare my life!"

  This situation was completely beyond Qin Yun's expectations, and he stopped in his tracks in shock.

  The elder son repeatedly kowtowed and wept: "My family still has elderly parents, if I die, they will have no one to care for them, please spare my life!"

  Seeing him like this, Qin Yun couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy, and the sword he had raised did not immediately thrust out.

  The elder disciple looked up at Qin Yun, a hint of unnoticeable pride and ferocity flashing in his eyes.

  He knelt on the ground and crawled a few steps towards Qin Yun, continuing to plead: "I swear to heaven that I will not leak out even half of what happened today, otherwise I'll be struck by lightning and die a terrible death!"

  Qin Yun's killing intent weakened by another three points. This fellow disciple had not actually made a move against him, and listening to his words was also pitiful.

  But if he is let off like this, can he really keep his mouth shut and never reveal it from now on?

  Qin Yun was slightly suspicious.

  Hah! Hah!

  What Qin Yun never expected was that just as he was hesitating about whether to let his opponent go, this older junior brother suddenly burst forth and swung his hand, sending out several silver lights!

  Sneak attack with hidden weapons!

  The distance between the two was only a few steps, and the sudden sneak attack by the younger brother came extremely suddenly. Who would have thought that someone who was crying with tears streaming down their face could be hiding such a murderous intent? Eight or nine out of ten people would fall for it on the spot.

  Fortunately, Qin Yun did not completely lose his vigilance and the state of wisdom was still there, making a timely reaction at the critical moment.

  He didn't have time to dodge, his body immediately leaned back, and the cold silver edge almost brushed past his clothes!

  "Kill!"

  The elder disciple saw that his sneak attack had failed and his plot was exposed, so he immediately tore off the fake mask, pulled out the dagger he was carrying with him, and rushed towards Qin Yun.

  But before he could hand over the dagger, Qin Yun's sword had already pierced his throat!

  With his close combat skills, he was far from being Qin Yun's opponent. Although he had lost the initiative, with a long sword against a dagger, Qin Yun would never be at a disadvantage.

  His combat experience was built up with countless lives and blood, and he had the ability to win even when facing a stronger opponent, let alone his junior brother's strength which was only slightly inferior to his.

  Hiccup!

  The sword pierced his throat, and the elder brother's body suddenly stopped moving. The raised arm fell limp, and the ferocity on his face turned into shock.

  Qin Yun's wrist twisted and turned, the razor-sharp blade tearing through his opponent's neck, a large head flying high into the air with blood raining down!

  Blood and water splashed and fell on his body, Qin Yun did not dodge and stood still, his eyes dark and deep.

  This time he encountered an unexpected danger, which shows that his ability to judge the ways of the world and human nature is still insufficient.

  What had just happened before his eyes reminded Qin Yun that the enemy was like a tiger, leopard or wolf, and could not be shown any sympathy or mercy, even if they were kneeling on the ground begging for forgiveness.

  He fell silent for a moment, then turned and returned to his lair.

  Qin Yun must seize the time and there are still many things to be done afterwards.

  The bodies of the five people were tied with stones and sunk into the cold pond, destroying their remains. The deceased had nothing on them that he took, after collecting all the remaining ice beads, Qin Yun continued to break open the black water python and took out an inner elixir and a python bead.

  The inner dan of the black water snake is as big as a fist, with a silver-gray texture that is soft and elastic, and has a heavy feel to it.

  The inner elixir of the demon beast is specially used for refining elixirs and is a necessary material for many top-grade elixirs. Some special elixirs can even help warriors break through the Great Boundary, its value is immeasurable.

  The python bead was only the size of a chicken egg, crystal clear and round, exuding a chilling aura that pierced to the bone.

  It is a power crystal of Black Water Snake, more precious and rare than Inner Dan, and its use is much broader.

  Just these two inner elixirs plus the python bead, their value far exceeded the Ice Seal Thousand Mile Symbol that Qin Yun had used up, not to mention the many Condensed Ice Beads in his bag, it could be said that he was fully loaded.

  Unfortunately, the massive python's corpse was too heavy to bring back, so they could only extract and take away its more valuable tendons, leaving behind its scales, flesh, and blood for now, planning to come back for them tomorrow.

  After all was collected, Qin Yun set off on his return journey with the spoils of war.

  When I came out of the cold and dark cave again, it was almost dusk.

  The sky was gloomy with snowflakes falling, the howling cold wind swept over the mountain ridge, heralding the arrival of a severe winter storm.

  "Qin Yun, you've finally come out!"

  Yue Shan led the Ling dog up for a routine inspection. He looked relieved, clearly worried about Qin Yun.

  After experiencing the infighting and killing among fellow disciples in the cave, seeing the sincere and concerned smile on Yue Shan's face, a warm feeling arose in Qin Yun's heart.

  Whether it's family or sect, there's no avoiding the open and secret struggles, but he met good teachers and friends like Mu Fangting, Lu Liu, Shui Wenyin and Yue Shan here, even if they encountered darkness, they couldn't extinguish the conscience in their hearts.

  Of course he needs to become more mature in order to go further on his slow and steady path of martial arts.

  Woof! Woof! Woof!

  Suddenly, the spiritual dog in Yue Shan's hand rushed towards him and barked frantically, its nose flapping wildly with excitement.

  Yue Shan was also stunned and asked in a somewhat disbelieving tone: "Qin Yun, did you really dig up the Lingyu mine?"

  Lingyu mines are not something that can be picked up casually on the ground, usually requiring a disciple familiar with the mineral vein to bring a full set of tools, exploring and digging in the winding cave deep within, and still need to rely on luck to gain anything.

  Qin Yuncai went down to the Cold Abyss for the second time and didn't even bring any mining tools, how could he possibly dig out the Lingyu mine?

  "Ling jade mine? I don't have one!" Qin Yun felt wronged.

  Yue Shan thought for a moment and asked, "The spiritual dog won't bark without reason, so aside from the Lingyu mine, did you gain anything else like the crystal beads of the demon beast?"

  He also asked without confidence, because the crystal beads of the demon beast usually only have a chance to be born by mid-level or higher demon beasts, which are extremely rare and difficult to obtain.

  "Oh, right! I picked up a Black Water Snake Pearl!" Qin Yun took out the pearl: "Could it be because of its reason?"

  "What! Black Water Snake Pearl!" Yue Shan's eyes almost popped out of his head.
