The death and the swarm of pythons that everyone expected didn't come, and everyone opened their eyes to see what was going on.
And they were dumbfounded.
Countless pythons were frozen in place as if they were under a petrifying spell.
Song A Mi had seen Wei Ming use this method before, but at that time, he only faced one python. But now he was facing a countless number of pythons, and he could actually control so many monstrous pythons at the same time?
She covered her mouth in surprise. Good heavens, what kind of method did he use? His beast taming art was so advanced, he was like a god!
Wang Nai Ling, with a look of horror, breathed a sigh of relief: “They stopped attacking.”
When he looked at Wei Ming again, his eyes were filled with awe and curiosity.
Fei Ji Shi stared intently at Wei Ming's tall and majestic back: “How did Wei Ming do it?”
Xue Huan proudly said: “My husband is a celestial being descending to earth, of course he would use celestial methods!”
Su Wu Ming held back for a long time before finally uttering a sentence: “Junior brother is truly a god!”
Pei Xi Jun looked at Wei Ming with love and admiration in her eyes: “I knew it, as long as you’re here, no matter what danger we face, we’ll be safe.”
Lu Ling Feng's eyes flashed with brilliance. In the Chang'an Red Tea Case, Wei Ming had effortlessly killed the four monsters of You Li who had been captured after the combined efforts of the entire city of Chang’an, using supernatural methods.
Now, he had used a mysterious method to control countless snakes and pythons… It was simply terrifying.
“Brother Wei's methods are truly unbelievable!”
Liu Shi Qi looked terrified: “Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could you possibly control the pythons of the Great Swamp?”
Liu Shi Ba looked at Wei Ming with awe. Unfortunately, he couldn’t take the civil service examinations, and now that this had happened, he could only await his fate.
Liu Shi Jiu’s bloodshot red eyes were filled with amazement and confusion.
Wei Ming remained his usual calm self. He glanced at Su Yun and said coldly: “If those are all the tricks you have, I, the Imperial Censor, will sentence you to death according to the Tang Code!”
“Don’t even think about it! Except for the Snake Immortal, no one else in this world can judge me!”
“Woo woo woo…”
Su Yun was unwilling to give up. He continued to blow his whistle, but the pythons remained motionless.
However, the countless pythons remained in place, slightly twisting their bodies. They didn't attack Wei Ming and the others.
“Sorcery! You've used sorcery!”
“Besides the Snake Immortal, how could there be anyone else in the world who can control countless pythons?”
“Who are you? Are you a human or a ghost?”
Wei Ming didn't want to waste any time. He saw a sunrise in the east, and a beast like Su Yun, what right did he have to see another day’s sun?
Wei Ming picked up a Tang Dynasty sword from the ground and walked towards Su Yun: “Among those who died at Gan Tang Station, besides the officials who were on duty or reporting, there should also be innocent civilians traveling from south to north, right?”
“Those corrupt officials who embezzle and deduct salaries should be punished, but that’s not a reason for you to kill and make money. If you are in need of money to support your family, or if you have no way to seek justice, or if you are forced to engage in profiteering or smuggling, I, the Imperial Censor, will not only not convict you, but I will also help you and make up for the money you have lost.”
“But you, and the rest of you, have chosen a criminal path, killing innocent people and making money. I don’t know how many innocent people have died at your hands, devoured by pythons.”
“I, the Imperial Censor, represent the law of the Tang Dynasty, and I will execute you to appease the souls of the innocent people who have died!”
Su Yun took a few steps back: “No! They forced us. They were the ones who embezzled and deducted salaries, and we acted in retaliation. They were unjust, so we naturally responded unjustly. Wei Ming, you don't punish the corrupt and corrupt, but you focus on us, the victims. You, you, you are not worthy of being the Imperial Censor!”
“After you die, I will personally investigate the case of embezzlement and corruption. All those involved will be severely punished, not a single one will be spared. You can rest assured about that.”
He was about to raise his sword.
Su Yun was terrified and cried out in fear: "Snake Mother, save me!"
“Woo woo woo…”
Su Yun collapsed to the ground in fear, narrowly dodging a blow. Then, a stench of urine wafted over.
He looked closely and saw a puddle of stinking urine flowing from under Su Yun's crotch.
“Snake Mother?”
At that moment, the earth suddenly trembled.
Liu Shi Jiu suddenly let out a hiss, his expression extremely excited. The hundreds of thousands of pythons that were under the control of the Beast Taming Charm also became restless. The light of the charm on their heads flickered faintly, tightly controlling the pythons’ transformation.
Su Yun laughed maniacally: “Die, die, all of you die.”
“Snake Mother has descended, swallowing the heavens and earth. No one can survive. Let Gan Tang Station become your burial ground, hahaha…”
Liu Shi Ba panicked: “Run! Run, all of you!”
“Snake Mother is coming out!”
For the safety of everyone, Wei Ming ordered everyone to evacuate Gan Tang Station.
Lu Ling Feng grabbed one person with each hand, capturing Liu Shi Qi and Su Yun. To prevent any accidents, he directly crippled them on the spot. He knew Wei Ming well, and these two were going to die anyway, so he might as well cripple them and vent his anger.
They had only run out a short distance when, with a boom, the entire Gan Tang Station collapsed inward. In an instant, it was reduced to rubble.
“Roar!!!”
From below the collapsed Gan Tang Station, a huge, hideous head emerged.
Accompanied by the stench of mud, a gigantic white python, a hundred zhang long and needing three people to embrace it, was revealed to everyone.
“Hiss!!!”
It wasn't a snake hiss, but the sound of everyone gasping in horror.
“Is this the Snake Mother?”
“It’s so thick! If it takes a bite, I'm afraid Old Fei wouldn't even be enough to fill its teeth.”
“Wei Lang… why don’t we just run away?”
“Sir, this beast has already grown to be a menace. Ordinary methods won’t work. We should just leave.”
“Junior Brother, are the yellow charms still useful against this beast?”
Wei Ming furrowed his brows and calmed everyone down: “Everyone, stay calm. Don’t let fear take over your minds and make you lose your senses. This giant python, while terrifying, is not invincible.”
The crippled Su Yun laughed mockingly: "Wei Ming, you're about to die, yet you still dare to boast. This Snake Mother is an ancient monster, and she’s lived to this day for at least a thousand years."
“Even if you have some sorcery on your side, it will still be as difficult as ascending to heaven to survive. Don't bother resisting, just come and die with me. Together we will go to the Yellow Springs. Isn't that a joyful thing? Hahaha!”
Wei Ming’s brow furrowed. He glanced at the Conjure Spirits and Drive Away Ghosts unlock rate, which was only sixty-two percent. He couldn't unlock the ability to imprison souls yet.
Should he try the Beast Taming Charm?
Wei Ming stepped forward, pointed his sword, and drew a charm in the air with the sword as his brush.
“Golden Light!”
“Vine Kill!”
“Water Dragon!”
“Fireball!”
“Earth Spike!”
“Wind Blade!”
“Thunderstrike!”
“Hiss!!!”
From the tip of the sword, a series of colorful lights appeared in the air, forming charms that crashed into the white python.
Boom boom boom!
For a moment, the area around the white python was filled with gorgeous explosions of light.
Golden light like arrows, a thousand arrows at once;
Green vines entwining, like a cage;
Water Dragon swept down, a blow to the head;
Fireball exploded, the white python roared;
Earth spikes rose up, piercing through scales and armor;
Wind blades like knives, blood sprayed;
Thunderbolts struck, emitting a burnt smell!
After releasing one wave, Wei Ming's face turned slightly pale. If he hadn't absorbed a large amount of souls beforehand and transformed them into powerful innate Qi, he would have been completely drained after releasing this wave of attacks.
At the same time, everyone present was stunned.
What just happened?
Was that the power of the talismans?
But aren't those just tricks used by Taoists to deceive people?
Is this something a human can do?
Are they sure they're not dreaming?
It’s simply incredible!
Unbelievable!
Is it an illusion?
If it’s not an illusion… then is Wei Ming truly a celestial being descending to earth, as the world says?
“Wei Lang… he’s… so amazing.”
“What kind of method is this?”
“No wonder my Master, before he died, told me to seek help from my Junior Brother if anything happened. It turns out that Junior Brother… is a true god!”
Lu Ling Feng’s eyes were shining brightly, filled with enthusiasm: “With such a method, even if one’s martial arts are unparalleled, what does it matter?”
Xue Huan’s eyes were filled with stars: “If only I could become Wei Lang’s disciple.”
At that moment, Dou Cong flew over: “Sir, I have inspected the underground river and cave. There are indeed signs of human activity, but I haven't found any trace of the person.”
“Roar!!!”
The ancient monster, the giant white python, Bai Xi, was still alive. It was clear how tenacious its vitality was.
“Unfortunately, it was raised by the one called the Snake Immortal since it was young. It’s no longer of much use!”
“Dou Cong, go destroy its brain!”
Dou Cong complied and his spirit entered the white python's brain. After a round of destruction, he finally killed the white python, which was on its last breath.
“Sir, I found this in the white python's brain.”
Wei Ming took the seven-pointed star-shaped obsidian stone that Dou Cong handed over. His brow furrowed: “It seems that this Bai Yu Jing is truly not simple!”
The seven-pointed star obsidian stone is probably a medium for Bai Yu Jing to control beasts.
When the white python died, Su Yun trembled like a sieve. When he saw Wei Ming walking towards him, he roared like a ghost: “You’re not human, you’re not human!”
Alright, another scumbag who doesn't know his manners.
For this, there's only one solution, behead him!
Puchi!
The blade rose and fell, and Su Yun was executed on the spot.
Wei Ming collected his soul and obtained clues about the Snake Immortal.
That's right, he was a celestial emissary of Bai Yu Jing!
