Chapter 145 Do you still want to fight?

"This golden-crowned python has a very powerful body, and its internal organs are definitely not inferior to those of ordinary practitioners, otherwise it would not be able to do this."

Zhong Lin admired in his heart.

Many exotic beasts have their own weaknesses, especially in terms of internal organs. After all, they cannot have special methods to refine their internal organs like humans, and their strengths are more in their bones, fur, and claws.

Zhong Lin's eyes flashed like lightning, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed. A white light flowed on the blade, forming a three-foot sword aura.

Dark and solemn, his body was like a wooden sculpture, motionless as a mountain.

The golden-crowned python opposite became increasingly motionless, except for the movement of its tongue.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in the golden crown python's eyes, and it suddenly opened its mouth wide and bit towards Zhong Lin like lightning.

Zhong Lin snorted coldly, swung the sword, and swept it over like an iron rod.

An unimaginably powerful force blew up the fallen leaves around it, and with a violent sound of breaking through the air, they slammed into the golden crown python's mouth.

boom!
With a loud bang, Zhong Lin felt a huge force coming, and his body could no longer stand steadily. He stomped his feet forward, and his body flipped back. He was extremely agile in the air, and when he landed, he immediately unloaded this huge force.

The golden-crowned python opposite Zhong Lin only paused for a moment before continuing to charge forward without any damage.

"This beast has great strength."

Zhong Lin was amazed in his heart. He didn't use any internal energy to fight against the opponent just now. He just relied on strength to fight against it.

All I can say is that it is worthy of being a strange beast, and it is far superior to human warriors in terms of strength.

While he was thinking, the golden crown python had already rushed in front of Zhong Lin. A strong fishy smell came out of its bloody mouth and it went straight to bite Zhong Lin's head, trying to do the same as it had just done to the big horse.

Zhong Lin took a step and his figure suddenly appeared in the air as if teleporting. He raised his right leg high and then smashed it down fiercely, like a huge axe coming down from the air.

boom!
Zhong Lin's battle-axe-like thigh moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it smashed heavily on the golden-crowned python's head.

The golden-crowned python let out a miserable roar, slammed its head against the ground, and shook its head as if it had been knocked unconscious.

"Star Shattering Slash."

Zhong Lin uttered the true words, the internal energy in his dantian surged wildly, and the long sword in his hand also emitted a platinum-colored light, descending from the void.

Under the influence of this internal energy, the entire sword body seemed to vibrate in a mysterious pattern, as if it was adjusted to the frequency of heaven and earth, causing resonance.

Suddenly, all the rocks and cliffs near the sword blade were shattered. Before it got close, the scales on the golden crown python's neck were broken into pieces.

When the golden-crowned python collided with the sword, time seemed to stop for a moment.

Then the huge snake head was blown high up for the first time.

The snake's head flew higher and higher...

Only a body section and snake blood were left on the ground. The pointed tail seemed to sway slightly and unconsciously, and then it never moved again.

As if by coincidence, the dull gazes of the people behind him turned around and focused on Zhong Lin.

"Brother has become stronger and stronger."

Jiang Yuan roared in her heart and could no longer maintain her ladylike image.

There were only three battles along the way, but each time Zhong Lin gave Jiang Yuan a different level of understanding, each time stronger than the last.

Although she had never seen the horror of the golden crown python, she knew about it from books, and now it was killed with just two moves.

This is a rare beast, the Golden Crown Python, not a wild snake on the roadside. Its head was chopped off so easily. How strong must the senior brother be?

"get out."

There was a flash of lightning in Zhong Lin's eyes, and he swung his sword fiercely towards the distance. A flash of sword energy passed by, and the boulder collapsed, and finally a figure fell from it.

At this time, Niu Dali finally found his sense of existence and shouted loudly.

"Surround him." At the command, dozens of guards rushed over and surrounded the figure directly, with long knives in their hands against his neck.

This was a middle-aged man in a gray robe with a pale face. It was obvious that Zhong Lin's sword energy had just injured him badly.

"Qingguang, you killed my Qingguang."

The middle-aged man in gray robe did not beg for mercy because he was surrounded and attacked. Instead, he looked at Zhong Lin ferociously. If his eyes could kill, he would have wanted to pierce Zhong Lin's heart with thousands of arrows.

"It's him?"

Niu Dali's face was full of surprise.

"You know him?"

Jiang Yuan also got out of the carriage and looked at the gray-haired middle-aged man in front of him with confusion.

"Princess, this man is a retainer of the eldest prince. He is good at raising and training snakes. I didn't expect that he even raised a rare golden-crowned python. It's incredible. It turns out that rare animals can be raised."

Click!

The bluestone under Jiang Yuan's feet shattered instantly, and a trace of pain surged into his heart.

"Big brother's people? Big brother can't tolerate me either?"

Along the way, they encountered three assassination attempts: the Fourth Prince's army, the Second Prince's top three warriors, and now the strange beasts sent by the First Prince.

Jiang Yuan experienced what it was like to kill brothers and what it was like to be ruthless by the royal family.

No matter how close the brotherhood is, it seems so fragile when facing the supreme throne.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, his expression returned to calmness, and he said in a cold voice: "Kill him!"

Niu Dali did not dare to delay and swung the long sword in his hand, killing the middle-aged man in gray robe on the spot.

Jiang Yuan stepped forward and said respectfully, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for saving my life again."

Zhong Lin glanced at Jiang Yuan and said, "Junior Sister Jiang, at this point, do you still want to fight?"

……

The carriage wheels started turning, and the convoy began to set off again.

The atmosphere along the way was a bit depressing. The guards were very disciplined, especially after experiencing the disaster just now. They looked around cautiously, fearing that they would be ambushed. This created a serious atmosphere.

Zhong Lin sat upright in the carriage, his eyes closed, and said nothing.

"The throne? Power?"

"If this were just an ordinary world, it would be fine. Unfortunately, this world has martial arts, and martial arts are supreme."

"Strength creates power. Everything else is false, only strength is real. Even if I'm the ruler of a country, so what? Once I break through the first level and become a Grandmaster, even kings will bow to me."

Accompanied by the dull sound of footsteps along the way, Kyoto gradually came into sight.

Perhaps because of Zhong Lin, or perhaps because they were getting closer to Kyoto, the princes and grandchildren of the emperor stopped their actions and dared not to cause trouble for the caravan anymore.

Finally, two days before arriving in Kyoto, Zhong Lin completed his practice of the three yin meridians and three yang meridians of the foot, achieving perfection in the fourth level of Tongmai, and greatly improving his martial arts skills.

When they arrived in Kyoto, the carriage stopped.

"Princess, the Ministry of Rites has come out to greet you."

Niu Dali's voice came from outside the carriage.

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes and stepped out of the carriage. Looking around, he saw officials from the Ministry of Rites in official robes bowing and kowtowing. There were also a few familiar figures in front of him, who were looking at Jiang Yuan with anger, ferocity, or viciousness.
