Chapter 382: Fight of the Trapped Beast _1
Yang Chen felt rather helpless about the situation.
After all, there were fifty to sixty cultivators present, with a significant number of people from all three camps. Why did the Fire Scale Python not trouble the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect, and instead went after them?
Was Myriad Medicine Valley's luck really that bad?
But the fact was that their luck indeed couldn't be worse.
The overall strength of Myriad Medicine Valley was the strongest at the beginning, but as they searched for treasures and underwent trials, inexplicably many had fallen.
When they arrived here, there were still over twenty people alive, and their overall strength could compete with that of the Golden Sword Sect, which had the most people, or at least not fall behind.
But now, after this battle, seven of their sect members had already died at the hands of the Fire Scale Python.
Only fifteen were left, which put their numbers on par with that of the Zhenyang Sect, which initially had the fewest people.
In contrast, the Golden Sword Sect had been lucky throughout the battle, losing only one disciple, leaving them with as many as twenty-four people remaining.
Such a comparison only highlighted the widening gap in numbers.
Thinking of this, Yang Chen felt furious. If it weren't for the immense strength of the Fire Scale Python, which made it impossible for the Foundation Establishment Cultivators to subdue it, he would have reason to suspect that someone from the Golden Sword Sect had sabotaged them.
At this time, as he saw Myriad Medicine Valley suffering heavy losses, Chen Jianbin could not help feeling a little schadenfreude observing Yang Chen's livid expression.
In his eyes, the overall strength of the Myriad Medicine Valley disciples was indeed formidable, and their leader, Yang Chen, represented the ceiling of Foundation Establishment Cultivator's power.
As for him, who was also at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm, he had entered the realm earlier than Yang Chen and had a few more years to consolidate his power.
Even so, he was quite wary of the man.
Now, seeing the overall strength of Myriad Medicine Valley further weakened, he felt even more confident about executing his plan.
Just as Chen Jianbin was reveling in his secret joy, a sharp hissing sound brought everyone back to reality.
"Hiss..."
The Fire Scale Python attacked once more, charging towards the position of the Golden Sword Sect disciples with its massive body.
Seeing this, Chen Jianbin, who had just been taking pleasure in others' misfortune, suddenly had a drastic change in complexion.
"You beast courting death!"
After shouting, Chen Jianbin's attack magic artifact flashed, and a golden light burst forth from his hands, unleashing an astonishing Sword Qi towards the oncoming Fire Scale Python.
His move immediately alerted everyone.
Immediately after, all Golden Sword Sect disciples took action, displaying a multitude of attack methods.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
More than twenty Golden Sword Sect cultivators, all at the eighth and ninth level of Foundation Establishment, launched a joint attack that was earth-shattering.
Taking a lesson from the fate of the Myriad Medicine Valley disciples, those who survived did not dare to separate from the main group and stayed close together.
Doing so not only allowed them to attack together, but in facing the severely wounded Fire Scale Python, they also had some means to retaliate.
This was precisely what the Golden Sword Sect disciples were doing.
They unleashed a barrage of attacks, colliding head-on with the oncoming Fire Scale Python.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
A myriad of attack techniques struck directly against the scales of the Fire Scale Python, instantly causing sparks to fly.
The Golden Sword Sect disciples were decisive, and the combined force of their attacks was potent.
And the already severely injured Fire Scale Python, despite its reduced strength and their preparedness, only managed to injure two Golden Sword Sect disciples before it was temporarily repelled.
Following this counterattack, Chen Jianbin's face darkened as he looked at Yang Chen and others who remained indifferent, and he could not help but scold them.
"Daoist Yang, He, what do you mean by this?"
"Our Golden Sword Sect disciples are under attack, and you just stand by and watch?"
"If that's how it is, when that beast attacks you next time, we might as well just stand by and watch, too!"
Hearing this string of reproaches, Yang Chen quickly responded with a forced laugh, "Daoist Chen, calm down, the beast attacked so swiftly, we simply didn't react in time!"
Upon hearing this far-fetched excuse, Chen Jianbin was somewhat angry, but they had responded in time, and the damage inflicted by the Fire Scale Python was very limited, not severely affecting their overall strength.
Moreover, for the sake of his own plan, now was not the time to fall out with the two great sects.
Understanding this, he forcibly calmed himself down and then led his sect disciples aside, keeping a safe distance.
"Hmph..."
"If you still intend to collect the Jiuli Star Fruit, then join forces quickly to kill it. Otherwise, we'll each rely on our abilities, and I won't waste my time here with you!"
Chen Jianbin said with a dark expression, exerting pressure on Yang Chen and the others.
At this moment, upon hearing Chen Jianbin's words and seeing his serious demeanor, Yang Chen smiled indifferently and promptly took a stand.
"What Daoist Chen says makes sense!"
"The Nine Stars Extermination Formation has been broken. If we can't kill this beast and bring the Jiuli Star Fruit back to our sect, we'll surely be punished by the Sect Leader!"
"Therefore, let's not hold back any longer, and immediately make a move to kill this beast, lest we allow for further complications!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than He Xin also voiced his agreement on the other side.
"Daoist Yang is right. Since things have come to this, let's not hide our capabilities. Let's take action quickly!"
Hearing the words from Yang Chen and He Xin, the angry Chen Jianbin's complexion seemed to improve a bit.
Then, pretending to be angry, he said, "I know you have items like the Fake Golden Core Talisman or Third Order Attack Talisman."
"I hope going forward, no one plays dirty. Bring out whatever means you have, or else I won't accompany you in wasting time!"
