Chapter 169 The Strange Cold Pond

The golden-horned python opened its huge mouth and a fiery red energy ball gushed out, colliding violently with the saber in Zhong Lin's hand.

boom!
There was a loud bang, the air exploded, and a large amount of violent airflow rushed down, and the surrounding rocks and trees were swept high up by this airflow.

"Zhong Lin, be careful."

Yin Daoyan in the distance shouted in fear. He found that in the dust, the huge tail of the golden-horned python was breaking through the air and attacking, and its target was Zhong Lin, whose old strength was gone and new strength had not yet been generated.

This golden-horned python was a hundred feet long. A swipe of its tail could smash a mountain to pieces, let alone a person.

Dust filled the air and he heard his master's exclamation. Zhong Lin felt a sense of alarm and without thinking, he plunged his saber into the ground and formed seals with his hands in front of his chest.

The true energy in the dantian surged wildly, continuously flowing along the three yang meridians and three yin meridians of the hand.

The next moment, a khaki spherical shield covered Zhong Lin, and at this moment the golden-horned python's giant tail attacked.

Boom!
A loud noise resounded throughout the valley, and the golden-horned python screamed towards the sky, but Zhong Lin did not move at all, only the khaki light shield dimmed a little.

The golden-horned python attacked again in pain, and its snake mouth, like a black hole, bit towards Zhong Lin.

Click!

In the confused eyes of the golden-horned python, one of its two fangs was broken and its eyes became much dimmer. It was obvious that these two blows had seriously injured it.

The light shield dissipated, and Zhong Lin's face turned pale. The Fudiyin had unparalleled defense, but it also consumed a lot of true energy. Just these two attacks almost exhausted all the true energy in his body.

He quickly took out a pill and swallowed it. The pill melted in his mouth, and the huge medicinal power spread throughout his body. The true energy in his meridians also circulated rapidly, swiftly absorbing the medicinal power. In just a moment, his true energy was restored by a small amount.

Zhong Lin grabbed the saber stuck in the ground, a ferocious look in his eyes.

"It's my turn next."

With a step, his figure flew into the air.

Tsk tsk tsk!

The sword energy in the sky cut into the body of the golden-horned python. Along with screams, a large number of wounds appeared on the body of the beast, and thick blood gushed out from the wounds.

The golden-horned python, feeling the pain, finally began to feel fear at this time. The ant-like creature in front of it could not be bitten by it, and yet it could cause such harm to itself.

click!
The golden-horned python swung out its huge tail again like lightning. When Zhong Lin dodged, it lowered its head and used the horns on its head to break a big hole in the ground. It crawled into it and disappeared with a rumble.

"You beast, you still want to run?"

Zhong Lin was obviously already madly insane. When he saw the golden-horned python burrowing into the ground, he rushed in without hesitation.

"Zhong Lin, don't chase after a desperate enemy. Come back quickly. Our target is the Tianyuan Fruit, not this beast."

Yin Daoyan's face changed and he shouted loudly.

Zhong Lin stopped abruptly, looked at the huge hole in front of him with hatred, and stopped chasing.

"Zhong Lin."

Yin Daoyan also ran over at this time, grabbed Zhong Ling's arm, and said anxiously: "Zhong Lin, don't be impulsive. The underground is the beast's territory. If you chase it, you don't know what will happen. Our goal is the Tianyuan Fruit."

Zhong Lin calmed down his vibrating true energy and realized belatedly that he had only been thinking about pursuing the victory and had obviously gotten carried away. If he had really chased into the underground nest, who knew what would have happened.

"I'm sorry to have made Master worried."

Zhong Lin sheathed his saber and said in a deep voice, "I'm glad you're alright, I'm glad you're alright, Zhong Lin. Your current strength is beyond my expectations. Are you safe?"

After the anxiety, he was filled with joy. He had seen every scene of his disciple fighting against the golden-horned python.

The power of the golden-horned python terrified him, but he was also shocked by the terrifying fighting power of his own disciples.

"No, that beast is no match for me."

"Zhong Lin, what kind of martial arts did that hand seal just now belong to? Why have I never seen it before?"

Yin Daoyan couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. After all, the golden-horned python's tail was almost broken, but it still couldn't shake the ball of light at all. It was really unbelievable for him to have such defensive power.

"This is a martial art that I learned from Mian Zhang, called Fu Di Yin. After performing it, you can use the power of the earth, be as still as a mountain, and have unparalleled defense." Zhong Lin explained without hiding anything.

Yin Daoyan was stunned when he heard this.

"Mian Zhang? Are you talking about the more insidious Cang Zhen Zhang from the Transmission Pavilion? Impossible, I've practiced Mian Zhang too."

Zhong Lin smiled and said, "That's the truth. The Fudiyin is hidden in this palm technique. Only by mastering the Mian Palm can you comprehend it. I discovered it by accident."

Yin Daoyan nodded and said, "I see. This martial art must have been passed down by our sect's predecessors. Only those with extraordinary comprehension have the opportunity to learn it."

The two of them did not exchange much words and quickly came to the cold pond to pick the Tianyuan Fruit.

Yin Daoyan carefully placed the two fruits into the jade box that had been prepared in advance to prevent the loss of medicinal effects.

Zhong Lin stared at the cold pond in front of him. He was very curious about the secret of this cold pond that could produce two Tianyuan fruits.

"Let's go!"

Yin Daoyan put the jade box close to his body and said with satisfaction.

"Master, I want to dive into the cold pond and take a look."

Yin Daoyan also turned his gaze to the cold pond, frowning slightly and asked, "Do you suspect there's something strange going on down there?"

"Well, if there is no weirdness, it would be impossible to offer two Tianyuan Fruits. Master, don't worry. With my current strength, I can escape safely even if there is something weird." Zhong Lin said with a smile.

Thinking of the terrifying power that Zhong Lin had just unleashed, Yin Daoyan nodded and said, "Just check it out. If there's anything strange going on down there, retreat immediately. We'll come back to decipher it after we refine the Barrier Breaking Pill and break through to the First Level."

Zhong Lin nodded, took off his clothes, and jumped directly into the pool.

The pool was not very deep, but the water inside was relatively cold. By practicing the "Five Elements Hunyuan Gong", the coldness was instantly dispelled.

After a few breaths, Zhong Lin came to the pool, circulated his true energy in his eyes, and he could see things clearly even in the dark bottom of the pool.

There was nothing special in front of me, just some stones and dead branches. Moreover, because of the coldness, there was no living creature, not even some plankton.

Suddenly, Zhong Lin was attracted by several flashes of light, and out of curiosity he swam over directly.

I waved my hand to clear away the dead branches and mud, and saw several jade-like stones lying there quietly.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Lin reached out and took a piece of jade in his hand.

This jade stone was only the size of a fist and was completely white. As soon as Zhong Lin got hold of it, he felt an extremely powerful force contained in it, just like the two beads taken out of the body of the two-headed monster, but it was even purer.
