I am the Snake Taoist

"You're just a mid-stage Four Fiends Life Realm cultivator. These few behind me are all in the Four Fiends Life Realm. You should just surrender obediently!"

The woman's face was full of smugness, appearing somewhat arrogant, lacking the gentle demeanor from their first meeting.

"Never thought we'd be waiting for you here! Hahaha!"

Listening to the woman's harsh laughter, Qin Qiu's expression remained unchanged, even looking at them with some amusement.

He had clearly searched all around, so how did he not find these people?

Moreover, their cultivation wasn't too different from his...

Qin Qiu pondered briefly, his nose faintly catching a floral scent.

His gaze swept around, spotting a man holding a red dried flower with a few petals missing.

"Hidden Spirit Flower..."

Black Dragon spoke the flower's name in Qin Qiu's mind.

"A Blue-grade medicinal herb. After drying, rubbing the petals into powder and spreading it around the body can conceal one's aura."

"Those below the Fiends Life Realm can't detect it."

"Mother-in-law, I wonder if Aoyama-ge has been brought back by him?"

The woman looked at the old woman, her eyes full of playfulness, with a clear hint of teasing.

The old woman's expression changed slightly, something seeming off, with something extra in her gaze towards the woman.

"You're saying Aoyama is still alive... you were lying to me?"

As soon as the old woman said this, even the ailing old man looked at the woman.

"You're not completely stupid. If I didn't keep deceiving you, how would you find cultivators to look for your good-for-nothing son?"

"How else would we make money?"

"How would you willingly contribute your Divine Slough?"

After the woman's words, even if the woman was stupid, she should have understood.

Besides, the woman wasn't stupid...

The old man's face turned ashen, his teeth clenched tightly.

The woman's laughing expression suddenly changed, and she raised her hand, shooting out a Fiendish Qi straight at the old woman's face.

Qin Qiu's reaction wasn't slow either.

The Snake Bone shot out, blocking the Fiendish Qi in front of the old woman's face.

"If it weren't for you back then! Begging my mother to let me marry that good-for-nothing, your family wouldn't have suffered this misfortune."

"Blame yourself for being too greedy, daring to cling to my family's phoenix tree with such a low status!"

Qin Qiu stepped forward, standing next to the old woman.

"Tell me, where is the Divine Slough?"

"I'll guarantee you live."

The old woman's eyes darted around: "Kill them, and I'll offer the Divine Slough with both hands."

"I know where the Divine Slough is. As long as you kill this pair of dog husband and wife, I'll give it to you! I, Wu Lanling, keep my word!"

Wu Lanling said to Qin Qiu.

Qin Qiu revealed displeasure for the first time since they entered.

"Taking me for a dog?"

Qin Qiu possessed the Wonderful Method Immortal Gu, and he could find it himself through sensing.

It would just be slightly troublesome.

Qin Qiu didn't like trouble, but if someone wanted to cause him trouble, there was nothing he could do.

He smiled, his eyes narrowed, looking at Wu Lanling and her group again.

Wu Lanling was clearly surprised by Qin Qiu's actions. She was just about to speak, wanting to recruit Qin Qiu, when her figure suddenly became unstable.

The man beside her grabbed Wu Lanling and pulled her to the ground on the other side.

Wu Lanling fell heavily, landing on her backside. She was just about to open her mouth to scold when she saw the middle-aged man's gaze and silently closed her mouth.

The two men slightly behind stepped forward quickly, helping Wu Lanling up: "Miss, are you alright?"

The other two men didn't even look at Wu Lanling directly. Their tiger-like eyes were fixed on Qin Qiu.

There were two circular holes where Wu Lanling had been standing just now.

And there were still traces of soil on the fangs of the Snake Bone that Qin Qiu was wielding.

"May I ask where you learned your skills from?"

The pair of men with similar appearances cupped their fists towards Qin Qiu, speaking politely.

Qin Qiu's attack just now was too fast for even them to see clearly, obviously extraordinary. Since the two of them represented the Medicine Pavilion, it was best to ask about his background.

"Just a wandering crane, not from a famous family."

Qin Qiu spoke softly, but the killing intent in his eyes didn't decrease.

"Why doesn't Daoist Priest come to our Medicine Pavilion to take a position? With Daoist Priest's strength, wealth and glory will surely be endless."

"I'm used to being a wild goose, thank you for the Medicine Valley's kindness."

Qin Qiu deliberately called the Medicine Pavilion 'Medicine Valley' as a test.

Unexpectedly, the Medicine Pavilion brothers' expressions changed: "It seems Daoist Priest won't be able to leave today."

The brother next to him also put away the dried flower in his hand, looking at Qin Qiu with a serious expression.

The surroundings fell into an eerie silence, with only Wu Lanling's heartbeat as loud as thunder.

Feeling the increasingly murderous atmosphere, Qin Qiu smiled indifferently.

Black Fiendish Qi wrapped around his body, and the Snake Bone in his hand swept out, attacking the two brothers.

One of the Medicine Valley brothers was in the mid-stage of the Four Fiends Life Realm, and the other was in the late stage of the Four Fiends Life Realm. Naturally, they weren't afraid of Qin Qiu fighting them together.

A ghastly green Fiendish Qi surged from their bodies, and they rushed towards Qin Qiu's attack with their fists.

The three of them were entangled in the blink of an eye.

The energy surged like a whirlwind, and the Fiendish Qi surged like angry waves.

The battle between the three of them affected the thatched courtyard, with debris scattered all around and broken walls everywhere.

The brothers were incredibly coordinated, and their Medicine Valley techniques were even more impressive.

One person punched at Qin Qiu's face, while the other would inevitably attack Qin Qiu's lower body.

Forcing Qin Qiu to defend in a hurry, struggling to cope.

The two brothers exchanged a glance, tacitly striking out a palm each, attacking Qin Qiu.

Qin Qiu took it with both palms.

"Boom!"

The sonic boom from the battle made Wu Lanling's ears ring incessantly, and the man quickly protected Wu Lanling behind him.

After the exchange, the three separated, and Qin Qiu was obviously at a slight disadvantage.

He retreated three steps before stabilizing his figure.

After all, fighting two cultivators who weren't weaker than him with his own strength, the saying that two fists can't beat four hands, it was still slightly difficult to cope with.

In addition, Qin Qiu hadn't used all his methods, so it was still a bit difficult to overwhelm them.

The two sides stood in opposition for no apparent reason. From an angle that Qin Qiu couldn't see, the Medicine Pavilion brothers hid their trembling hands behind their backs.

"Little Daoist, if you know you're wrong, quickly admit defeat. Call me 'Grandma' a few times, and maybe I'll let you go!"

Obviously, Wu Lanling didn't see the Medicine Pavilion brothers' trembling hands and became somewhat brainless, relying on her side's superior strength!

Some people are like this, they like to get carried away. When they occupy an advantage, they always don't like to use their brains anymore.

Generally, villains who talk a lot have a high probability of dying…

However, the other two Four Fiends Life Realm cultivators of the Wu family were different.

They observed the trembling hands and stood next to the Medicine Pavilion brothers very tacitly, preparing to attack together with the Medicine Pavilion brothers.

This was the real rule of the cultivation world. Fair duels are only exist on the arena of Medicine Canon.

Black mercury-like liquid began to drip from Qin Qiu's sleeves…
