Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

However, the sword stopped right in front of Chu Yunfan's brow and remained frozen in place.

Because, even faster than the dark-skinned, thin youth was the Snow Cold Sword in Chu Yunfan's hand.

Actually, we have to thank Zhang San for this.

When Zhang San rescued Chu Yunfan, the dark-skinned young man, Wang Dali, and Li Si were all stunned for a moment.

Because Zhang San and Li Si attacked from the side, Chu Yunfan didn't see it and was therefore unaffected.

This resulted in Chu Yunfan's sword strike being a fraction of a second faster than the dark-skinned, thin youth's.

In that very instant, life and death were decided.

After killing the dark-skinned, thin youth, Chu Yunfan did not pause at all. He quickly drew his Snow Frost Sword and then stabbed it at Wang Dali, who was standing next to him.

While Wang Dali was still in shock at the death of the dark-skinned young man, he didn't expect Chu Yunfan to make another move so quickly, and as a result, he too was taken away by Chu Yunfan's sword.

Seeing the dark-skinned, thin young man and Wang Dali die one after another, Li Si, who was standing to the side, turned pale with fright. When Chu Yunfan turned to look at him, he immediately knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy.

"Senior Brother Chu, please spare me! From now on, I'll serve you like a slave, I'll do anything for you!"

The moment he finished saying "I resign," a flash of snow-white sword light appeared, and Li Si's head fell off instantly.

Those who have betrayed me will not be given a second chance!

Chu Yunfan looked into Li Si's unseeing eyes and slowly spoke.

Of course, this was also said to Zhang San, who was standing next to him.

Although the other party is on his side this time, it is still necessary to sound the alarm.

Looking at Li Si's headless body, Zhang San felt a pang of regret, but hesitated to speak.

But in the end, all words turned into a sigh.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan asked:

"You were clearly in the lead just now, so why did you suddenly choose to side with me?"

Hearing this question, Zhang San showed no surprise. Staring intently into Chu Yunfan's eyes, he answered seriously:

"Because Wang Dali is a heartless and unreliable person, while you are different."

So, I want to follow you!

Hearing this answer, Chu Yunfan nodded slightly, and then asked another question.

"From the very beginning of the battle, you saw that I was no match for this dark-skinned, thin youth."

Aren't you afraid that after saving me, you'll be killed along with the skinny, dark-skinned youth?

Upon hearing this, Zhang San answered decisively:

"Because I believe in you!"

"Believe me?"

Chu Yunfan stared at Zhang San with a puzzled look, wondering where the other man got such confidence in him.

Seeing Chu Yunfan's puzzled expression, Zhang San replied:

"In the previous battle, although you were always at a disadvantage, I could tell from your expression that you were very calm and there was no panic or fear at all."

Therefore, I suspect you must have some trump cards up your sleeve.

Furthermore, I believe that someone capable of killing over a dozen white rhinoceroses at once is not as simple as they appear.

After hearing Zhang San's answer, Chu Yunfan was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected the other party to be so observant and clear-headed.

Then, Chu Yunfan turned to look at the three corpses on the ground and sighed:

"If I were so easy to kill, you wouldn't have a chance to be killed, and you would all deserve to meet the King of Hell."

However, I still have to thank you all for helping me shed my last shred of naiveté!

After finishing his work, Chu Yunfan collected the spoils from the three of them, then found a monster nearby and fed its corpse to it.

Afterwards, Chu Yunfan prepared to go to the valley where the giant python was to practice his swordsmanship.

However, Zhang San kept following him.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan said:

"You don't need to follow me anymore, go back!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang San simply replied "yes" and turned to leave.

However, at this moment, Chu Yunfan suddenly called out to him again.

"Wait a moment!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang San turned around and saw a storage bag being thrown from Chu Yunfan's hand, flying towards him.

"This storage bag contains all the Body Tempering Pills for the three of them."

Take it back; it should be enough for you to cultivate to the ninth level of the Martial Initial Realm!

After saying this, Chu Yunfan turned and left.

Zhang San stood still, staring at the storage bag in his hand, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long silence, he spoke as if to himself:

"In the past, I always thought that the most important thing in cultivation was talent."

As long as I have the talent, I can soar to great heights by joining the Qingyun Sword Sect.

But later I realized I was wrong. The most important thing in cultivation is resources.

Without resources, even a genius will turn into garbage.

There are countless geniuses in the Qingyun Sword Sect who are more talented than me, so I can't possibly get any of their resources.

Therefore, I chose Wang Dali because he has a family and resources behind him.

But I later realized that I had chosen the wrong person.

However, this time, I finally made the right choice.

I believe that by following him, one day I too will become a powerful figure admired by countless people!

After Zhang San finished speaking, he looked up in the direction Chu Yunfan had left, as if he had made up his mind about something.

……

Meanwhile, Chu Yunfan had already arrived outside the hidden valley they had visited earlier.

However, what he feared finally happened.

At the original entrance to the valley, the weeds had been cleared away, and a large passageway was clearly visible.

Clearly, someone beat them to it.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfan wanted to enter the valley to investigate the situation.

However, before he could even set off, a group of people rushed out of the valley.

And at the head of this group was a familiar figure.

This figure was none other than the girl Chu Yunfan had met before.

At this moment, the girl's face showed obvious panic, clearly indicating that she was trying to escape.

As she fled, she kept glancing back every now and then.

At this moment, a middle-aged man standing next to the girl couldn't help but say:

"Qianqian, there's no need to look anymore. The three elders working together, although they can't defeat that giant python, the python can't do anything to them either. They'll be fine."

On the contrary, if we don't run quickly and are caught by the giant python, we'll become a burden to them!

It turns out that after the girl and her companions suffered a setback in the valley last time, they returned to their family and gathered a group of people to fight their way back into the valley, hoping to eliminate the giant python and seize the treasures in the valley.

This time, in addition to the old man from last time, they also summoned two other peak Martial Master level experts from their family to come to the valley together. They were full of confidence and thought they had victory in the bag.

It turned out that after the fight started, they discovered that this giant python had actually been hiding its strength last time.

This giant python is not only incredibly powerful, but also highly venomous.

However, the python hadn't used poison last time, so they weren't aware of this.

This time, seeing their aggressive approach, the giant python immediately used its venom, killing more than a dozen of them, including three Martial Master level experts, resulting in heavy losses.

What's worse, in order to protect them, the three peak Martial Master level experts were also poisoned.

Moreover, due to the python's potent venom, even though the three peak Martial Masters had all taken precious second-tier antidote pills, their strength was still affected. Even when the three joined forces, they could only fight the python to a standstill.

Moreover, as the battle dragged on, the toxins within the three peak Martial Masters continued to spread, causing their combat effectiveness to decline further.

That's why we've ended up in this situation.
