Chapter 20: Greed

This location is perfect for luring the Purple Lightning Python over. It is also the best place for battle in the entire area.
As for the missing Yun Ze, they temporarily did not put him on their minds.
If Yun Ze dares to show up, nobody would mind killing him as well.
The leader in black possessed an additional talisman, which was an ice bullet talisman. Its value and power exceeded that of the fireball talisman.
He activated the Ice Bullet Talisman and shot it towards the Purple Lightning Python on the cliff wall in an instant.
At this moment, the Purple Lightning Python was absorbing the medicinal power from the Rootless Flower.
As for the fight over here, the Purple Lightning Python had long noticed it; however, it was too busy to pay attention to these insignificant insects.
However, once it finishes being busy, it will definitely not spare any of these intruders.
Bang... a fist-sized ice projectile struck the head of the Purple Lightning Python, instantly exploding into a shower of ice shards.
The head of the purple lightning python was completely frozen.
Seeing this, the crowd below was overjoyed.
However, just as this joy appeared, the ice sealing the python's head shattered in an instant.
The Purple Lightning Python turned its head to look at the crowd, a deep rage evident in its icy eyes.
As it roared, it charged down from the cliff wall.
The crowd's attacks provoked it; the Purple Lightning Python no longer cared to absorb the medicinal power, with only slaughter remaining in its eyes.
"Old Ten, go pick the rootless flower. We'll hold off the Purple Lightning Python," the black-clothed leader said to one person.
"You go too!" the gray-clothed leader also said to one of the gray-clothed individuals.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them slipped out of the team and hid to one side.
The remaining thirty-eight quickly formed two formations, their bodies bursting with energy, each wielding the same type of second-tier low-level spiritual weapon.
At the moment the Purple Lightning Python charged down, thirty-eight people launched their full-strength attack.
Bang... The combined attack of the thirty-eight people struck the Purple Lightning Python, and the immense energy sent it hurtling backward.
However, the attack initiated by thirty-eight people only managed to knock the Purple Lightning Python back, without causing any injury to it.
The combined effort of thirty-eight people came close to the realm of breaking the void, but the Purple Lightning Python's tough skin made their attack seem ineffective.
“Bring it over here, everyone. You have the array plates with you. As long as you temporarily trap it within, you will be able to buy enough time for them.” The black-clothed leader looked at the people around.
“I have a set of secondary low-level formation plates.”
“I also have a set of first-level super formation plates.”
At this moment, among the black and gray-clothed individuals, two stepped forward, revealing two sets of trapping formation plates in their hands.
Seeing this scene, the black and gray leaders hurriedly took their companions' array plates and threw them in all directions.
At the same time, the blasted purple lightning python rushed over again in an instant. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the crowd.
The purple lightning python had electric arcs surging across its body, and its huge tail swept toward them.
Just as it seemed everyone was about to be hit by the tail, the black and gray leaders immediately activated their respective arrays.
In an instant, several energy beams surged from all around, binding the purple lightning python, which suddenly found itself unable to break free.
The Purple Lightning Python struggled fiercely, the energy beams becoming thinner as it fought, as if they were about to snap at any moment.
Seeing the situation was dire, everyone immediately launched an attack on the Purple Lightning Python.
The attack from thirty-eight people instantly interrupted the struggle of the Thunder Python, which roared furiously and shot electric beams from its mouth toward the surrounding crowd.
In the blink of an eye, some were hit by the electric beams, their bodies turning into charred remains.
The remaining people looked on in terror as they witnessed this scene; the Purple Lightning Python was even more terrifying than they had imagined. Its power was too strong.
With a single strike, it annihilated a master at the second level of the Transcendence stage.
If others had not acted quickly, they would probably have suffered as well.
The crowd quickly launched another attack.
This time, everyone nearly used their full strength.
The power of the Purple Lightning Python made them dare not relax.
Thirty-seven people unleashed the power of their spiritual tools to the utmost.
Even though they only had second-level low-grade spiritual tools, the energy generated from their own cultivation boosted their attack power by two lower realms.
The combined attack of thirty-seven people reached the power of breaking through the first level of the Void.
The Purple Lightning Python was struck on the head, and its massive body immediately crashed to the ground.
```htmlAlthough the attack did not penetrate the body of the Thunder Serpent.
Its powerful force still left the Thunder Serpent dazed and confused. For a moment, it had no strength to fight back.
Seeing this, everyone intensified their attacks, hoping to take advantage of the Thunder Serpent's disorientation and deal a heavy blow to it.```
However, their attacks, while making the Purple Lightning Python feel dizzy, only caused it pain.
The Purple Lightning Python erupted with all its energy in an instant due to the pain.
In the blink of an eye, the two confinement arrays were shattered by the Purple Lightning Python's overwhelming energy.
The escaping Purple Lightning Python swept its tail towards the crowd, instantly catching several people off guard as they were struck down by the massive tail, equivalent to an attack from a first-level Voidbreaker.
The first person hit was, of course, sent flying, and the remaining few were left severely injured.
The ferocity of the Purple Lightning Python is too strong. More than thirty people are actually unable to do anything about it.
Forty people thinking they can snatch food from the Purple Lightning Python are truly being naive.
This has just begun, and they have already paid the price of several deaths.
眼看着紫电蟒凶威滔天，就要将他们全部灭杀在此地。
突然，周围强光涌动，数十道更加粗大的光束将紫电蟒捆了起来，这次，紫电蟒想要挣脱却显得相当困难。
The remaining thirty or so people, upon witnessing this scene, quickly began to attack the Purple Lightning Python with all their might.
They had no time to investigate what that sudden beam of light was.
If they didn't take the opportunity to eliminate the Purple Lightning Python while it was trapped, they wouldn't just miss out on the Rootless Flower; everyone present would be doomed.
三十多名脱凡境发动的攻击，让紫电蟒发出一阵阵痛苦的嘶吼。
However, the thick beam bound it, rendering it unable to move and forcing it to endure the bombardment from the crowd.
However, with the combined attack of over thirty people, they barely reached the Breaking Void realm. Although they could inflict some damage on the Purple Lightning Python, the possibility of killing it was slim.
At most, they could only prolong the time that the thick light beam trapped the Purple Lightning Python.
```htmlOn the other side of the cliff, Yun Ze activated the confinement array, and with a few leaps, he charged towards the rootless flower on the cliff face.
The battle was raging over there, and no one had the time to pay attention to this side.```
However, before him, two people had already rushed to the location of the rootless flower at the Huangjing moss.
Both of these individuals were at the second level of the Transcendental stage.
They looked at the rootless flower ahead, with joy evident on their faces.
Both of them felt quite anxious; the battle below was intense, but they didn't have time to watch the situation unfold.
Wasting even a moment could cost them the opportunity to gather the rootless flower.
They exchanged a glance and cautiously took out their medicinal hoe.
Just as one of them was about to dig for the Rhizoma Polygonati, a spear instantly pierced through his heart, emerging from his chest.
