Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 277: Killing the White Python

The white python raised its head, its eyes fixed on Lu Zheng, "You finally found me."

Lu Zheng couldn't help but ask: "Are you disappointed?"

The white python's eyes were deep, and he said, "Are you really trying to make things difficult for me and won't let me go?"

Lu Zheng said calmly, "When you did evil, you should have thought about a day like this. Even if it wasn't me, there would be someone else in the future."

The white python said quietly, "You people always claim to be righteous. You humans can kill demons and ghosts, but demons and ghosts can't kill people?"

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "If you want to talk about some twisted logic, I'm afraid you've chosen the wrong person. I'm a scholar..."

"If you don't harm others' interests and practice your cultivation in the mountains, who would have the time to deal with you?"

"Anguo's laws also have rules for demons and ghosts. I think you know whether you have broken the law or not."

"Besides, I am a human being, so I should always be more considerate of others."

"Even saints can't treat everything equally, right?"

These words left the white python speechless for a moment.

Lu Zheng looked at the white python again and said, "What do you want to argue with me about? I guess you don't really think you can convince me, but you are just stalling for time, right?"

How can the two sides shake hands and make peace with just a few words?

The white python's eyes flashed, obviously Lu Zheng hit the point.

Lu Zheng's smile remained unchanged. "You're stalling for time. Don't you think I'm stalling for time too? I haven't had much rest along the way..."

As he spoke, Lu Zheng took out the Taishi Jian slowly, and the poetic energy flowed into his body to make up for Lu Zheng's consumption.

Seeing Lu Zheng like this, Bai Mang didn't dare to delay any further.

They couldn't deal with Lu Zheng when he was at his peak. If Lu Zheng were to recover, he would be so weak and alone, how could he survive?

The white python suddenly opened its mouth, and a bloody wind blew towards Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng did not dodge or evade. He raised his hand and slapped the formation barrier in front of him to pieces, then dodged through the fishy wind.

Looking closely, I found that the white python had disappeared into the cave and turned into a white light and flew away.

Lu Zheng took a step and chased after him as fast as a meteor.

The white python was very fast and quickly came out of the underground cave. It then swam in the river, its speed increasing instead of decreasing, like a fish in water.

Almost at the same time, Lu Zheng broke out of the water, running and chasing on the river surface as if he were walking on flat ground.

The man and the demon moved along the river so fast that they were almost invisible.

The white python was shocked when it noticed Lu Zheng's speed. Such a fast speed was even comparable to that of a great demon with hundreds of years of cultivation. How could he be a Confucian or Taoist scholar?

Suddenly, Lu Zheng looked up slightly and saw dark clouds floating in the sky.

"Just in time..."

Lu Zheng's eyes moved slightly, he picked up the pen to write a poem, and with his other hand he was pinching the Five Thunder Technique.

Suddenly, thunder surged within the Wen Palace.

Purple thunder burst out from his body and rushed into the dark clouds along with the flow of poetic culture.

All I saw were dark clouds rolling in the sky and flashes of lightning.

But after a few breaths, a bolt of lightning as thick as a thigh fell from the sky.

The white python swimming in the river suddenly felt itself locked by a dangerous aura.

Before the white python could react, the thunder from the sky arrived and struck directly through the river.

Demons and evil creatures are most afraid of thunder magic. The white python was injured by Lu Zheng's Five Thunder Magic before, and now it was struck hard by thunder from the sky again.

The white python rolled in the river in pain, and even its escape speed slowed down.

Lu Zheng blinked his eyes. The thunder that was drawn down by the power of thunder formula and poetry was really strong. It was stronger than the thunder power he could exert now.

Of course, this is also due to the presence of dark clouds.

Otherwise, how could it be so easy and quick to summon thunder out of thin air, and with such great power?

Lu Zheng saw the white python in the river and raised his hand to take out a long sword.

With a long sword in hand, the sword light was shining, and the sword intent was surging madly and could not be suppressed.

Lu Zheng spoke slowly, with poems blessing the sword.

Then he slashed out with a sword, and the majestic invisible sword energy instantly cut off the river, stopping the flow for a moment.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the white python's huge body was split into two.

The next moment, the river surged, and the bright red blood dyed a large area of the river red.

The white python was severely injured and turned to swallow the large part of the snake's tail that was cut off, burning the essence and blood in it, and in the blink of an eye turned into a bloody light and escaped.

He can really escape... Lu Zheng shook his head slightly, then quickly left the river and chased towards the mountains.

Just after crossing two mountains, the white python lay motionless in a meadow. The black blood oozing from the broken snake body corroded and withered the surrounding grass and trees.

Lu Zheng walked closer and looked at the white python, his eyes flashing with strange colors.

He raised his hand and a flame shot out.

The flames touched the white python and it immediately caught fire.

But in the blink of an eye, the entire white python was burning with white flames and blue smoke.

Lu Zheng watched the burning white python with great interest and couldn't help but ask, "You're really patient. Aren't you afraid of the pain? Or is it that the fire isn't strong enough?"

As he spoke, Lu Zheng waved his hand, and the little sun in the Wen Palace flew out and quickly hit the white python. This time, the white python finally moved.

I saw its head tremble and a white light shot into the distance.

The white python thought he could escape danger by pretending to be dead, but he didn't expect Lu Zheng to see through him at a glance and even wanted to burn him to ashes. How could he hide anymore?

When Lu Zheng saw the white python spirit flying away, he quickly chased after it.

But after a while, Lu Zheng caught it in his hand.

The white python's demon soul was imprisoned by the power and could not break free for a while, so it could only twist in Lu Zheng's hands.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but say, "Calm down for a moment. I still have something to ask you. Tell me everything about you."

Upon hearing this, the white python said, "Do you want me to report others? If I do, how about letting me live? Now that I have lost all my cultivation, I will not be able to do evil in the future..."

Bai Mang began to bargain with Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng said calmly, "You have such a demonic aura that it's hard for me to let you go. If you confess, I can give you a quick death."

Judging from Bai Mang's behavior and character, Lu Zheng didn't think that the other party would have any remorse.

The white python was silent for a moment. Feeling the stinging pain from the demon soul, he could hardly bear it. "I can tell you, if you really have the ability, kill those people!"

Lu Zheng's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Go ahead."

Lu Zheng put the demon soul down to prevent it from dissolving in his hands.

The white python knew that he could not escape and was too lazy to struggle. While he was still conscious, he briefly recounted everything he had done over the years.

Lu Zheng nodded slightly upon hearing this, "Very good, I'll take note."

As for what Bai Mang said, Lu Zheng still needs to distinguish whether it is true or false and cannot believe it completely.

Finally, the white python said weakly: "Aren't you very capable? You can kill all the officials in Qianshan County. None of them are innocent. If you can't do it, then this is all..."

Lu Zheng looked at the white python and said, "You have practiced for so many years. If you had done good deeds instead of going along with the corrupt, or letting them go along with you, why would Qianshan County have come to this? Why would you have come to this?"

"Even at this point, you don't seem to think you're wrong..."

The white python chuckled, "This is how the world is. It is my fate to die at your hands today. Why should I complain?"

Is this really how the world works? Lu Zheng couldn't help but shake his head. Some things just don't make sense.

He raised his finger and pointed, completely wiping out the evil spirit of the white python.

Then, Lu Zheng came to the location of the white python's corpse.

The body had been burned completely, without even a trace of ashes left.

A small sun is suspended there, emitting warm breath.

Lu Zheng waved his hand and put the solar phenomenon into the Wen Palace, then returned to the previous valley.

……

In the Demon King Valley, Qing Wan brought her bean soldiers to search the valley carefully inside and out.

During this period, she also encountered several monks who were somewhat powerful monsters, but Lu Zheng gave her a lot of cultural treasures.

After throwing down a few Wenbaos, and with her current strength being quite strong, she easily eliminated the enemy.

Afterwards, she rescued some people from the depths of the cave and looted all the valuables in the cave.

Now, there are dozens of people gathered in the valley, and a dozen little demons are tied up.

Qing Wan also ordered some people to interrogate these monsters.

Usually following Lu Zheng, Qing Wan also learned a lot of work styles.

When Lu Zheng slowly returned to the valley, he found that it was already quite lively.

When Qing Wan saw Lu Zheng, her eyes lit up. She ran up to him with her short legs and asked excitedly, "Lu Zheng, did you take care of them?"

"Yeah." Lu Zheng smiled slightly, "I dealt with one, and the other was eaten by the one I killed."

"Hey?"

Qingwan's face froze for a moment, and it took her a while to sort out her thoughts.

At this time, some people looked over and some came forward to express their gratitude.

These people had just learned the situation from Qing Wan, and knew that it was Lu Zheng who killed the monster here and saved them.

In fact, they had heard some noises before, but they didn't know what was going on.

Seeing everyone's gratitude, Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Qing Wan personally saved you, so just thank her."

Qing Wan couldn't help but smile when she heard that. She stood up straight and couldn't suppress the smug expression on her face.

A woman in green walked up to Lu Zheng and said, "Thank you, Master Lu, for saving my life!"

Lu Zheng looked at the woman and recognized that she was the woman in the wedding dress just now, but now she had changed her clothes and removed her makeup, looking very heroic.

Lu Zheng said calmly, "It's just a piece of cake."

The woman said solemnly, "That was also a life-saving favor to me. From now on, if you have any instructions, even if it means climbing a mountain of swords, I will climb down..."

Although she was confused in the cave at that time, she could now recall clearly what happened. If Lu Zheng had not taken action, she would probably have died.

Lu Zheng waved his hand and said, "Don't say that. I'm not an acrobat. I don't need you to do this."

Zhao Ping's expression froze, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lu Zheng found a rock to sit on and said, "I'm not familiar with this place, but you should know about it, so why don't you tell me about it?"
