I Swear I Don't Have A Python In My Pool

In the next moment, Wang Mang heard a ‘pshh’ sound, followed by a sharp pain.

However, Wang Mang did not have time to think, much less examine his injuries.

That was because Li Tianxing’s other hand had gathered another Qi Blade and was slashing at his head again.

!!

Wang Mang subconsciously wanted to catch it with his tail.

However, Wang Mang had overestimated his reaction speed.

Pshh!

The sharp saber qi slashed at Wang Mang’s neck!

It left a wound that was so deep that bones could be seen, dripping with blood!

At the same time that Wang Mang felt a sharp pain in his body, he also felt dizzy.

If it were not for Wang Mang’s Defense Enhancement and Super Self-healing abilities, he would’ve been dead by now.

He might even have lost his head!

Wang Mang looked at the two deep wounds with lingering fear. His heart was incomparably gloomy.

If these two attacks had hit the same spot, Wang Mang would definitely have been cut in half!

Fortunately, the two attacks struck at different places.

It did not reach the point of directly cutting him in pieces.

However, Wang Mang had truly experienced how powerful this old man was.

The two qi sabers condensed and were executed extremely quickly. Everything happened in a flash.

Wang Mang even believed that if this old man wanted to use this technique, he could easily cut many people in half!

If not for Wang Mang’s strengthened defense, which could make his body as hard as a rock, he would basically be dead now!

Fortunately, this did not happen. He had already withstood three attacks from this old man!

Furthermore, looking at Li Tianxing’s pale face, Wang Mang knew that this old man could not use any more techniques like this.

He was right. Li Tianxing, who had used several top-notch martial techniques in a row, had already consumed half of the spiritual qi in his body.

However, he still could not kill Wang Mang.

Now that there was only half of his spiritual energy left, he was unwilling to use such a top-notch martial technique again.

Otherwise, once his spiritual qi was exhausted, it would not be him killing Wang Mang, but Wang Mang killing him!

“Iron Skin Technique!” After shouting angrily, Li Tianxing’s hands formed a seal. After performing a set of combination punches, he spontaneously emitted an aura.

If one observed carefully, one could even notice that Li Tianxing’s body was covered in a faint layer of ancient bronze.

Seeing this scene, Wang Mang was so shocked that he was almost speechless.

Could this be the Iron Skin Technique that often appeared in martial arts dramas?

But wasn’t the old man a cultivator?

This Iron Skin Technique was a martial art ability from wuxia flicks, right?

What happened to his pride as a cultivator?

In the end, he even practiced martial arts?

Of course, Wang Mang did not know that this was Li Tianxing’s last-ditch effort.

He did have cultivation techniques and even higher-level ones, but this era did not allow him to cultivate them at all!

This was because higher-level cultivation techniques required more strength.

Therefore, he could only use these cultivation techniques that did not rely much on spiritual qi, such as the Henglian style’s Iron Skin Technique.

This was also because times were changing and he was forced to compromise.

Otherwise, why would he cultivate these martial arts?

Although martial arts and cultivation were similar at heart, cultivators used to disdain the path of martial arts!

This was because there was still a gap between the path of martial arts and spiritual cultivation.

Moreover, the difference was not just a little.

Therefore, Li Tianxing had only practiced this Henglian Kung Fu because he had no choice in this era.

After executing the Iron Skin Technique, Li Tianxing struck Wang Mang’s head with his palm, preventing Wang Mang from biting him.

Of course, Li Tianxing did not dare to engage Wang Mang in close combat. He could only rely on his swift and agile hand speed and immense strength to fight Wang Mang.

However, there was a saying that no matter how good one’s skills were, there would be times when one would fail.

In the midst of Wang Mang’s tireless pouncing, Li Tianxing also thought that he understood Wang Mang now.

He only needed to pay attention to Wang Mang’s bloody mouth and tail, and not get tangled up with him.

However, this time, Wang Mang, who had failed again, dived into the water of the reservoir.

Seeing this, Li Tianxing panicked.

Thinking that Wang Mang was about to escape, he subconsciously chased after him and grabbed his tail with both hands!

Li Tianxing pulled Wang Mang’s tail and dragged him towards the shore, not letting him escape into the water.

At this moment, Wang Mang suddenly turned around, opened his bloody mouth, and pounced at Li Tianxing again.

...

Li Tianxing was taken off-guard.

He subconsciously let go of Wang Mang’s tail and prepared to retreat.

However, Wang Mang fiercely whipped his tail at his head!

Even though Li Tianxing had blocked this terrifying attack, it still made his face turn red.

His arms that were blocking Wang Mang’s huge tail were beaten until they were as red as hot iron.

Similarly, Wang Mang dived into the water as soon as he succeeded in his attack.

This was the first time Wang Mang had entered his own reservoir!

This was also the first time Wang Mang had seen the world under the surface of the reservoir.

However, Wang Mang was not in the mood to appreciate it. Instead, he quietly hid in the water and watched Li Tianxing, who was observing the shore.

At this moment, Li Tianxing, who was on the shore, was flustered and exasperated.

He walked into the shallow water of the reservoir and searched for Wang Mang like an eagle.

...

However, he did not notice that Wang Mang had already quietly approached him from under the water.

Moreover, due to the darkness of the night, Li Tianxing’s night vision was clearly inferior to Wang Mang’s.

Wang Mang was also trying his best to control the water flow, trying his best not to make too much noise underwater.

After all, this old man was a cultivator. If he made any abnormal movements, this old man would definitely notice.

At the same time, Li Tianxing, who was still searching for Wang Mang, had a grim expression on his face.

In his opinion, it was very likely that the python had already escaped and entered the deep water of the reservoir.

“Dammit! Bastard!”

In his anger, Li Tianxing could not help but shout angrily.

This roar that contained rich spiritual qi even echoed far and wide.

Just as Li Tianxing was about to leave in disappointment…

The water beside him suddenly exploded, causing a shocking splash.

Then, Li Tianxing saw a bloody mouth lunging at him.

Li Tianxing’s expression changed drastically when he saw this.

However, it was too late for him to escape!

That was because his mind was filled with anger earlier. He was even certain that Wang Mang had already fled.

It was precisely in this kind of unguarded situation, and because Wang Mang was so close, that he did not even have the chance to dodge.

Looking at the bloody mouth that was about to swallow him whole, Li Tianxing could not help but feel fear. He let out a terrified roar, “No!”

With that said, Li Tianxing was still gathering spiritual energy, but before he could use it, Wang Mang’s bloody mouth had already bitten him.

From top to bottom, Wang Mang’s bloody mouth directly swallowed more than half of Li Tianxing. His sharp fangs even bit him in the waist.

Accompanied by an incomparably miserable scream, Wang Mang finally succeeded in his sneak attack.

After eating Li Tianxing’s upper body, a familiar voice sounded in Wang Mang’s mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have devoured the upper body of a cultivator and obtained 30,000 evolution points!]

Wang Mang, who was originally overjoyed, was stunned. He thought to himself, “Why is it only 30,000 evolution points?”

However, Wang Mang soon realized the problem. His gaze fell on the remaining half of the body, and he immediately swallowed it.

As expected, the system’s voice sounded again. [Ding! Congratulations to the host for devouring the lower half of a cultivator’s body and obtaining 20,000 evolution points!]

30,000 + 20,000! 50,000 evolution points!

Wang Mang had finally devoured this damned old man!

This battle took a total of five hours!

Only then did he successfully settle this old man!

To be honest, Wang Mang was very happy.

If the old man had not been careless, he would not have been swallowed by him.

After all, this old man’s martial arts had been honed very well. As expected of a mythical cultivator!

Wang Mang, who was in a good mood, began to slither away the reservoir.

At this moment, he had only entered the shore of the reservoir. It was not too deep, only one or two meters. It was considered a shallow area on the shore.

Compared to the depth of the reservoir, which was hundreds of meters, it was indeed at the edge of the reservoir.

After reaching the shore, Wang Mang suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling in his stomach.

Then, Wang Mang opened his bloody mouth and spat out two things.

They were an iron box and a dagger with a scabbard.

Upon seeing these two items, Wang Mang’s eyes lit up.

These two items belonged to the old man.

No wonder he felt uncomfortable.

It was probably because he could not digest these two things.

Moreover, this dagger was a bona fide treasure!

It was incredibly sharp!

Nice!

And what the hell was this metal box?

Could it be that the old man used it to store his valuables?

Then… Could there be a manual for the cultivation technique that this old man cultivated inside?
