He Lan Tianxia

The speed was astonishing.

Murong Junlan unleashed three consecutive restrictions, but only two were completed; the other was cut off halfway by the triangular-headed golden-ringed snake. Murong Junlan flicked his fine rope, intending to transform it into a golden dragon to deal with the venomous snakes, but unexpectedly, the rope failed halfway through the transformation. This was the first time Murong Junlan had failed to transform the rope since learning from his master.

The triangular-headed golden-ringed serpent is actually more powerful than the black dragon? Murong Junlan re-examined the triangular-headed golden-ringed serpent, but didn't seem to find anything particularly remarkable about it. However, given the different levels of the tower, the upper levels might be stronger than the lower levels.

The thin rope returned to his hand. Murong Junlan stood still, but his vigilance had increased several times over. He was currently outnumbered and outmatched. It wouldn't be difficult for him to escape on his own, but what about the unconscious Pavilion Master behind him? Saving the old tree spirit was not difficult; he could simply charge over and take it with him. Ling Yi was still in his pocket, so he wasn't worried. However, carrying the Pavilion Master, a grown man, out of the snake pit was a tricky problem.

The triangular-headed golden ringed snake seemed to have noticed Murong Junlan's concerns. It proudly stretched its body upwards and raised its head arrogantly. It could already imagine the reward it would receive from the tower master of the Nine-Story Demon Tower.

The Nine-Story Demon Tower Master repeatedly reminded the tower masters of each floor to be on guard, saying how powerful that pavilion master was. Hmph, he was knocked unconscious by my Ring Serpent Poison in just a few rounds. The other one was powerful, but he was outnumbered. Let's see how they escape my grasp.

"Spit!" At the command of the triangular-headed krait, all the snakes simultaneously tilted their heads back and sprayed out a cloud of multicolored venom like a thick fog.

Murong Junlan reacted quickly and set up several restrictions to dodge the attack. Because he had to keep the Pavilion Master a little further away from the old tree spirit, he watched with heartache as the old tree spirit fell off the sword hilt in the poisonous gas.

Murong Junlan leaped out of the barrier, his thin rope aimed straight at the head of the triangular-headed golden-ringed snake. At this moment, whoever was a second faster would be the winner.

Triangle Head was no pushover either. It easily dodged the sharp edge of the thin rope by lowering its head, and then pounced on Murong Junlan a few seconds faster than the thin rope.

Murong Junlan swiftly retrieved the thin rope with a decisive move, then turned the tide by striking the snake's vital spot. With a bang, the triangular-headed golden ringed snake was struck.

The wounded triangular-headed krait launched a furious counterattack, immediately igniting a fierce battle between the snake and the human. All the other snakes froze, completely disregarding the two already unconscious victims.

In this battle, Murong Junlan fought with a difficult balance of victory and defeat. In the Ancient Cave of Annihilation, those snakes were just snakes, purely animal attacks on intruders. This triangular-headed golden ringed snake, in addition to its animalistic aggression, seemed to also possess human-like spirituality. In other words, the triangular-headed golden ringed snake was a venomous snake on the verge of transformation. It could already communicate with the Tower Master, who was a transvestite.

This triangular-headed golden-ringed snake was not only cunning and treacherous, but also incredibly shrewd. Just now, its move, which was clearly aimed directly at the enemy's heart, was instantly transformed into a trap to lure the enemy in when Murong Junlan parried the attack. When Murong Junlan tried to cut off the enemy's supply lines, it launched another counterattack. Murong Junlan then used a palm strike to push the snake along with the current, and the triangular-headed creature suddenly sprang to its feet...

As the fight went on, Murong Junlan increasingly felt that he was not fighting a snake, but a person, a person with profound martial arts skills.

That's right, it's people.

Lingyi is a snake, but he gives the impression of a human. The triangular-headed banded krait is a snake, but it gives the impression of a wolf in sheep's clothing.

*Hiss.* Before he knew it, Murong Junlan's clothes were torn open by the triangular-headed golden-ringed snake. Murong Junlan quickly covered his chest with his other hand, afraid that Lingyi would fall.

The triangular-headed golden krait didn't notice Murong Junlan's subtle movements. Instead, it seized the opportunity to attack Murong Junlan's vital points: eyes, throat, heart, and abdomen. Its attacks were extremely precise. If Murong Junlan hadn't been agile, he probably would have been captured long ago.

Murong Junlan's main tactic against this swarm of venomous snakes was to employ agility and evasion, using every trick in the book to outmaneuver them. He remembered his master's advice: if outnumbered, use dodges, avoidances, and evasions to confuse your opponents; the moment they are disoriented is the moment of victory.

At this moment, Murong Junlan was using this tactic. At first, the triangular-headed golden-ringed snake could still follow the thin rope, but later its pace slowed down more and more. By the time it realized what was happening, it was already feeling a little dizzy.

Murong Junlan swung the thin rope, striking the triangular-headed golden-ringed snake's tail heavily. With another flick, the rope struck its vital spot. As the saying goes, to kill a snake, strike its vital spot; if this rope hit the snake's vital spot, its life would end there.

However, the triangular-headed golden-ringed snake was more than just a snake; it was a human-snake, incredibly clever, and its vital points were not easily exploited. Just now, it deliberately exposed its seven-inch mark to lure Murong Junlan into attacking, and sure enough, Murong Junlan fell for it.

The triangular-headed golden krait calmly watched Murong Junlan's thin rope attack. Suddenly, it pounced to the ground with a snap, falling faster than Murong Junlan could anticipate. In addition, the triangular-headed golden krait sent an attack signal to the snakes inside the tower the instant it fell to the ground.

Murong Junlan was completely focused on the battle; how could he easily let go of this rare opportunity? If it were just an individual, Murong Junlan wouldn't be so careless, but in the heat of the fight, he forgot that the triangular-headed golden-ringed snake possessed human-like abilities.

As soon as Murong Junlan's rope missed its mark, he collapsed with a thud. He knew he had been tricked, but faced with the choice between retrieving the rope and risking his life, Murong Junlan resolutely chose the latter.

With a sudden thud, the venomous snakes behind collapsed, some of them taking the opportunity to coil around Murong Junlan's legs. Murong Junlan frowned, but he quickly spun around and swept a swift, powerful strike at the snake swarm. The snakes scattered in panic, and the triangular-headed golden ringed snake rejoiced. It stretched out its long, scarlet tongue, and the triangular-headed snake lunged at Murong Junlan's face with its mouth wide open.

Murong Junlan shifted his body to the side, using Murong's own methods against him. The thin rope he had been using to strike the snakes suddenly reversed direction, aiming directly at the face of the triangular-headed golden-ringed snake. The snake, seemingly oblivious to its own danger, rammed its head into Murong Junlan.

"Heh, is this a suicidal tactic?" Murong Junlan stared intently at the snake's head's reaction, fearing he had fallen into its trap. Should he accept the attack or not? As he hesitated, the triangular head charged at him again. Murong Junlan quickly scanned it with his thin rope and decided to take the hit.

With a bang, the thin tail and the snake's tail collided. Originally, the triangular-headed golden ringed snake's move was a feint, but it never expected that Murong Junlan would also use a feint.

The two quickly withdrew their attacks and simultaneously struck each other with their other ends, producing another loud bang. They fought like this dozens of times, unable to determine a winner.
