The Hidden Immortal

Chapter 39 Those who admit their mistakes but refuse to correct them will die.

These words, of course, could not be said to Li Tianjian.

Otherwise, people will just think you're jealous and have bad intentions.

After cleaning up the table and dishes, it was already late at night.

Zhang Anxiu closed the door and stared at Chu Xun expectantly, as if she had something to say.

Chu Xun asked, puzzled, "What?"

Zhang Anxiu snuggled closer, tracing circles on his chest with her finger: "Husband, it's late, you should rest..."

She rarely called him "husband" normally, so when she did, it really made one's heart flutter.

Chu Xun reached out and scooped her up, carrying her toward the bed.

These years, life has improved. The bed is big and sturdy, and the mattress is very soft. No matter how much we move around, it's fine.

When the rain stopped, Zhang Anxiu fell into a deep sleep.

Chu Xun then dressed, got out of bed, opened the door, and went out.

Outside the courtyard, two awe-inspiring pythons raised their heads, their lantern-like scarlet eyes particularly terrifying in the moonlight.

Five years have passed, and they have grown to be almost five meters long.

The snake's body was as thick as a water bucket, and the water buffalo in the yard seemed to have smelled it and became somewhat uneasy.

Chu Xun stepped forward and touched the heads of the two large pythons.

Its scales are smooth and have a fishy smell from being soaked in river water for many years.

"Let's go."

I started walking and headed towards Pingshui Town.

A portion of the crows separated and followed behind.

Dozens of them were strung together, almost obscuring the moon.

Two large pythons, one blue and one white, followed closely behind, leaving deep marks on the ground wherever they swam.

Soon after, the man and the python arrived at Zhang Sanchun's doorstep.

Chu Xun peered over the wall and into the house.

It was very quiet inside; the family of three must have been fast asleep long ago.

There were no signs of robbery inside or outside the courtyard, so the perpetrators should not have arrived yet.

He didn't go into the courtyard, but instead went around to the corner.

The large blue python's body pressed down on the stone slab at the entrance, making a slight sound, then it stopped abruptly and flicked its tongue towards the gate.

Chu Xun patted its head to indicate that it was alright before continuing to swim away.

Once the two giant pythons were beside him, they crouched down, and Chu Xun leaned against them, waiting quietly.

A flock of crows landed on the courtyard wall, their blackness blending almost seamlessly with the night.

Everything is ready; all that's left is for the damned to come knocking.

After a long while, three figures arrived furtively.

His face was covered with a black cloth, and a short blade and a kitchen knife, stolen from somewhere, were tucked into his waistband.

When they arrived at Zhang Sanchun's house, Wang Erlai habitually rubbed his scalp, and white dandruff fell off like snowflakes.

He looked around, then pulled a short blade from his waist and inserted it through the crack in the door to lift the bolt.

However, the blade was too short, so it could only touch a tiny bit.

The door bolt, made of hard elm wood, weighed a full twenty pounds and could not be pried open with just a knife tip.

Wang Erlai failed several times and got so angry that he cursed his mother.

Liu Er leaned closer and said, "You'd better keep it down, what if you wake them up?"

Wang Erlai spat, forgetting that his face was still covered, and spat a mouthful of saliva onto the black cloth, making himself feel extremely disgusted.

Enraged, he ripped off the black cloth and said viciously, "Kill them when they wake up! They're just unlucky!"

Old Man Sun, with his graying hair and slightly hunched back, quickly came over to advise, "Don't do anything rash. If you kill them, who will pay you?"

"If they don't have it, then go find that guy surnamed Chu! Killing one is killing one, what's the harm in killing one more! You two are such cowards, how can you..."

Wang Erlai stopped halfway through his sentence.

Old Sun muttered, "I'm just an old man with bones. If I keep running around like a fugitive, I'll just exhaust myself to death."

Liu was in his forties and didn't care where he made a living; he was a scoundrel anyway, so he believed in the world being the same.

Seeing that Wang Erlai was silent and staring straight at him, he thought the guy was angry and embarrassed, so he said, "If we can't do it, let's climb over the wall first. If Zhang Hanzi really makes a fuss, just give him a stab. Old Sun, you old codger, don't keep hiding in the back. Didn't you want to touch that woman?"

Wang Erlai remained silent, but his body began to tremble violently, like a shaking sieve.

Liu Er found it even stranger and reached out to pat him on the shoulder: "Wang Erlai, what's wrong with you? Did you see a ghost?"

"It's not a ghost..." Wang Erlai trembled. "It's...it's a snake..."

A strong smell of urine wafted from his filthy, rancid crotch, dripping onto the ground.

"Snake?" Liu Er sniffed, smelling a foul odor.

But besides the pungent smell, there was also a strong, fishy odor.

The fishy smell was like fish, but a hundred times stronger, and just one whiff of it made your scalp tingle.

I heard a rustling sound behind me, like something heavy being dragged across the ground.

Every now and then, it was accompanied by a hissing sound.

Liu Er felt a chill run down his spine, and inexplicably felt an indescribable sense of heavy oppression.

He was sweating slightly and slowly turned his head away.

Under the moonlight, a huge blue python head, larger than a bowl, was already in front of them.

Its five-meter-long body was raised high, and its tongue, thicker than a hemp rope, kept moving in and out.

Their scarlet eyes, like red lanterns in the night, were utterly terrifying.

Liu Er instinctively tried to shout, but felt as if his throat was blocked, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound.

Or perhaps they exerted too much force, their hands and feet suddenly turned cold, and they had no strength left to support themselves, collapsing directly to the ground.

Both of them were like that, and the shrewd and experienced Sun Laoyou certainly understood.

He didn't even look back, and without hesitation, he tried to escape.

However, a whooshing sound came, and a white python of the same size leaped across like lightning, blocking their path.

The stench that hit him and the gaping maw made Old Man Sun tremble all over, and he dared not move again.

He used to be a mountain dweller and knew that no one could outrun a snake.

I've heard people say that there are snake demons in the deep mountains, as big as mountains.

But hearing about it is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.

It's like facing the King of Hell, with impermanence close at hand; it seems there's no other way but death.

The giant blue python slowly twisted its body, coiling itself around Liu Er in circles.

A gaping maw loomed close to his head, seemingly poised to devour him alive.

Liu Er was being strangled and could hardly breathe. His face turned red as he struggled desperately, kicking his legs, but it was too late.

Such a massive python possesses terrifying strangulation power; even a martial artist would be terrified by it, let alone an ordinary person like him.

Chu Xun walked over from around the corner, looked at the three people who had been coiled up by the blue and white pythons, glanced at the still peaceful courtyard, and said slowly, "Take them away."

The two giant pythons obediently coiled around the three of them and crawled forward, with a large number of crows following behind.

Only now did Wang Erlai and his two companions realize that the small landlord they had "bullied" for years was no ordinary person at all.

He was able to control two such terrifying giant pythons!

Chu Xun stopped only after leaving Pingshui Town and arriving at a remote place.

The two pythons, one blue and one white, were not allowed to swallow the person whole, because that would set them on a killing spree and give them a taste of blood, which could be problematic in the future.

After ordering the two pythons to release the three men, Chu Xun said, "You seized my land a few years ago and have never repented. I didn't want to deal with you and just let it go."

"But you've gone even further, plotting to rob and kill for your money, so don't blame me."
