Soon, around Ye Wushuang and Chu Qingcheng, the withered leaves on the ground began to move gradually. They were dead leaf pythons! These pythons, with their flickering tongues, kept drawing closer. “Hm?” Ye Wushuang frowned. He had thought there was only one dead leaf python, but who would have expected a whole group? From all directions, dead leaf pythons of various lengths—three zhang, six zhang, nine zhang—climbed up the trees or slithered along the ground, approaching the two of them. Their bodies resembled withered leaves, and their eyes were like those of dead trees, exuding an extremely sinister and terrifying aura. “How could there be so many…” Ye Wushuang’s brow furrowed. Chu Qingcheng couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t dead leaf pythons solitary creatures?” “Well…” Ye Wushuang gripped the Tianya Sword and looked at Li Wenbo, who was being coiled up, and said, “Stop messing around; there’s more than one…” Upon hearing this, Li Wenbo realized something was wrong and immediately unleashed his Tian Gang energy, a terrifying aura bursting forth. *Boom…* The dead leaf python that had wrapped around him felt the boundless strength of the human it had captured. Unable to withstand the pain, it quickly released its grip and retreated from Li Wenbo. At this moment, the three of them gathered together, surrounded by dead leaf pythons on the ground and tree trunks. Seeing this scene, Chu Qingcheng’s face turned pale. These dead leaf pythons were at least at the first tier of the Tian Gang realm, with the strongest ones reaching the third tier. She was at the fourth tier of the Yuanfu realm, and not only could she not help, but she would also be a burden. “This is really strange…” Li Wenbo said urgently, “Dead leaf pythons always act alone. There must be at least fifty or sixty here…” “Indeed, it is very strange,” Ye Wushuang said with a furrowed brow. “Generally speaking, dead leaf pythons don’t gather like this, unless…” “Dragon’s Tongue Orchid!” “Dragon’s Tongue Orchid!” Almost simultaneously, Ye Wushuang and Li Wenbo said in unison. Dragon’s Tongue Orchid? What is it? Chu Qingcheng looked at the two of them with confusion. Li Wenbo quickly explained, “Dragon’s Tongue Orchid is a very peculiar spiritual plant. It can help warriors condense Tian Gang energy and transition from the Yuanfu realm to the Tian Gang realm. With this plant, it’s almost guaranteed. Even for those who have reached the Tian Gang realm, obtaining this plant can purify and strengthen their Tian Gang energy!” “But this plant is very rare. It usually doesn’t live long because many spiritual beasts mistake it for the Hundred Leaf Orchid and eat it!” “Dead leaf pythons, being third-tier spiritual beasts, find it very difficult to advance in level through their own cultivation. However, with Dragon’s Tongue Orchid, the success rate increases significantly. Only mature Dragon’s Tongue Orchids can attract these dead leaf pythons so strongly!” After finishing his explanation, Li Wenbo looked at Ye Wushuang and chuckled, “Brother Ye, you really have a wide range of knowledge. If I weren’t a disciple of the Spirit Sword Mountain and hadn’t seen it in the secret records, I wouldn’t have known about Dragon’s Tongue Orchid at all.” Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “It seems these dead leaf pythons are most likely here for the Dragon’s Tongue Orchid. If I obtain it, I should be able to advance to the Tian Gang realm.” “But for now, we need to deal with these dead leaf pythons first!” Li Wenbo chuckled again and said, “Miss Chu, use the Heavenly Net Umbrella to protect yourself.” Looking at Ye Wushuang, Li Wenbo continued, “Let’s have a little competition?” He was now at the second tier of the Tian Gang realm and believed his strength was comparable to Ye Wushuang’s. Dealing with these dead leaf pythons was quite dangerous, but… he wasn’t afraid! Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Sure, let’s compete!” *Whoosh, whoosh…* Immediately, the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, charged forward with their swords. At this moment, Ye Wushuang, being at the ninth tier of the Yuanfu realm, had the strength of his nine Yuanfu energy chambers, which was no less than the Tian Gang energy of a Tian Gang realm warrior. With a single sword strike, even a three-zhang-long dead leaf python could hardly withstand it. The Six Elements United Sword Technique had long been perfected in Ye Wushuang’s hands, operating at its peak. “One!” Soon, on Li Wenbo’s side, a sword strike severed the head of a dead leaf python, blood splattering everywhere. “Two!” Li Wenbo became more and more excited, his killing intent fierce. Reaching the second tier of the Tian Gang realm was a completely different experience from the first tier. The Tian Gang energy was much stronger, and the energy was more vigorous. With each sword strike, the number of dead leaf python corpses around the two of them increased. Chu Qingcheng summoned the Heavenly Net Umbrella to protect herself and watched the two of them with astonishment, her mouth agape. Both of them had extremely high swordsmanship skills and incredibly fast reflexes. Several times, Chu Qingcheng saw Ye Wushuang and Li Wenbo surrounded by several dead leaf pythons, seemingly cornered, but they always managed to find an opportunity. After killing one python, they would tear open a gap in the encirclement and break free.
