Mythical Cultivation

Seeing the intensity of the two's attacks, Wu Ming not only became wary of them, but also lowered his attack intensity. He wanted to see what they were up to. So when he saw the red snake retreat, he continued to strike at it with his Golden Light Sword without haste.

The red-line snake's carelessness caused it to be seriously injured. With its intelligence, it never thought that the monk who could not break its defense would suddenly seriously injure it. However, this should be due to its own carelessness.

As if figuring things out, the red snake began to wriggle, gluing the massive wound together to stop the blood from flowing. Simultaneously, it spewed a mouthful of foul-smelling venom at the monk who had wounded it. It also knew that the monk's attack could injure it, and it couldn't be as careless as before.

The two middle-aged men also retracted some of their strength, but the flying swords still slashed at the red-line snake in vain, waiting for the opportunity to launch a sneak attack at any time. Seeing the red-line snake spit out venom, the two men were delighted, but also silently moved away from Wu Ming.

Wu Ming saw the red snake's venom spraying toward him. He didn't activate his hidden basalt shield, but instead pulled a talisman from his storage bag. Upon activating it, a wall of earth appeared before him—the Earth Shield Talisman. As the venom met the wall, a hissing sound echoed, the sound of the venom corroding the Earth Shield Talisman. Within two breaths, the Earth Shield was broken.

After activating the Earth Shield Talisman, Wu Ming leaped several feet to the side and continued to direct his Golden Light Sword at the Red Thread Snake. The Red Thread Snake no longer dared to directly block Wu Ming's flying sword with its body, instead occasionally using its tail, which was quite flexible, to deflect the Golden Light Sword. When it couldn't block it, it would use its head to knock the Golden Light Sword away, but this was more dangerous.

When the red-line snake saw that its venom was blocked by the talisman, it sprayed venom at Wu Ming again, wanting to turn this enemy into pus to relieve its hatred. Unfortunately, Wu Ming took out another talisman to block the venom attack.

After more than ten rounds, the red-line snake did not hurt Wu Ming at all, but it had several wounds on its body. It was a little scared and was ready to escape.

Seeing the two men still didn't move, Wu Ming didn't want to pretend anymore. If he continued, the red snake would probably run away. He immediately accelerated the golden sword and slashed at the wound. The golden sword's acceleration startled the red snake. It had been preparing to flee, but when it saw the flying sword's increased speed, it realized that the other party had not been using its full strength. It sprayed all the remaining venom at Wuming while quickly blocking the flying sword with its tail.

Unfortunately, Wu Ming, who had already seen that it was trying to escape, would not let the golden sword be blocked. He bypassed the snake's tail and directly slashed the previous wound with his sword, cutting the red snake into two pieces.

As the red snake was spewing venom all over the air, Wu Ming threw out several protective earth shield talismans in succession, and also put a haste talisman on himself, quickly leaving the area. At the same time, he shook his head and took a detoxification pill.

The body of the red-line snake was cut into two parts by a sword, but its vitality was tenacious, and the snake head flew away. But Wu Ming would not let it go. The golden sword turned into a golden light and shot into its mouth, then flew out of its belly. Finally, the escaped part fell from the air, and the golden sword also brought this part of the body back.

However, at this critical moment, the situation suddenly changed drastically! The scene seemed to be frozen, lingering on the flying sword shining with golden light, wrapped in the snake body, and returning. At this moment, Wu Ming was shaking his head while swallowing the detoxification pill.

At the same time, two middle-aged monks, less than three meters away from Wu Ming, suddenly activated their flying swords, dashing towards Wu Ming like lightning. Seeing the two incredibly sharp swords about to kill Wu Ming on the spot, for a moment, life and death hung in the balance!

At the same time, several blazing fire talismans, icy ice arrow talismans, and unparalleled golden sword talismans rained down upon Wu Ming, forming a dazzling and deadly attack net that tightly enveloped him. The immense power contained within these talismans was enough to strike fear into any opponent!

Seeing Wu Ming suppressing the red snake and beating it to the point of being unable to fight back, the two men had almost given up the idea of ​​a sneak attack on Wu Ming. But what they never expected was that at this moment, Wu Ming suddenly slashed at the red snake's body with his sword! In an instant, the red snake's body was severed in half, but surprisingly, it did not die. Instead, it fled in panic, dragging its incomplete body.

Meanwhile, Wu Ming's flying sword pursued him relentlessly. Just as everyone thought the battle was over, the red snake, in its final moments, unleashed a venomous spray of poison. Unfortunately, Wu Ming was unable to dodge the fatal blow, inhaling the venom and instantly becoming poisoned.

Wasn't this the perfect opportunity they'd been waiting for? Upon seeing this scene, the two exchanged a tacit glance, then, without hesitation, simultaneously swung their flying swords, slashing towards Wu Ming like lightning! Still feeling unsure, they quickly pulled out the few remaining first-level high-level talismans from their storage bags and hurled them at Wu Ming, attempting to deliver a fatal blow and ensure a sure win.

After all, only by doing so could they completely eliminate Wu Ming, their great concern. And if they succeeded, wouldn't the hidden treasures, Wu Ming's powerful magical instruments, and the red snake's corpse all be theirs? Thinking of this, the two men couldn't help but feel a surge of ecstasy and greed.

The atmosphere between the two grew intense, a wary glint in each other's eyes. Both of them came from the world of cultivators, accustomed to a solitary, dangerous lifestyle. For such independent cultivators, every adventure was like walking on a knife's edge; the slightest misstep could lead to irretrievable doom.

In this world full of competition and greed, they know that having one more person means sharing resources and reducing their chances of obtaining valuable wealth or opportunities. Therefore, although they maintain the same goals on the surface, they are deeply wary of each other deep down.

They all understood each other's underlying sentiments: only by relying on their own strength could they ensure survival and success. Any extraneous person would become a potential threat, diminishing their chances of profit. This mentality prevented them from completely lowering their guard, even towards their own companions, when faced with enormous benefits.

In this land rife with dangers, trust is a luxury for casual cultivators, while self-protection becomes the most basic and most important rule.
