Chapter 105: When shepherds quarrel, the wolf has a winning game
“The Hell Wolves have detected something up ahead! Hurry up!”
Eight figures quickly dashed out of the trees, their faces bursting with excitement.
“Look, it’s that kid!”
Suddenly, the eight of them saw a familiar face and rapidly approached him.
Suddenly, the eight of them spotted a familiar face and rapidly approached him. They had been given a picture of the youth and had heard detailed descriptions to ensure they could confirm his identity. It was indeed the young male they had been bitterly searching for.
Especially for the leader of the group, who had exchanged blows with the boy before. How could he possibly make a mistake?
“My helping hands are here! We have killed the Hell Wolves and now we shall take our revenge! Die!”
Under the confused gazes of the eight men, the youth rushed toward them, wielding a saber in his hand.
Behind him followed three angry-looking youths, their Yuan Qi bursting from their bodies. Though slightly older, they didn’t look much different from Su Yi.
“Not good! The kid has found help! The Hell Wolves have already been slaughtered!”
Seeing this, the expressions of the eight men changed. So, the kid wasn’t alone. He had help, and judging by the age of the three youths behind him, coupled with the fact that they had killed the Hell Wolves, they were undoubtedly working together.
“It’s only four little brats! What are you afraid of? Catch them alive!”
The leader hollered his orders. They were experienced fighters in the Forest of Demons; why should they fear a few novices? Without hesitation, he rushed forward to confront the youths in battle.
The leader’s words had a motivational effect, and the morale of the men behind him soared as they charged forward fiercely.
“The kid does have help!”
Zhouda, Guoyan, and Qingfeng were hot on Su Yi’s heels.
As they were about to catch up to him, they suddenly saw eight men furiously charging toward them, and worry flickered across their faces.
“They are only a bunch of trash! We cannot let the kid escape!”
Guoyan became enraged. He sensed that the auras of the men weren’t particularly strong and chose not to retreat. Instead, he accelerated and charged straight at them.
“Kill them! How could we be afraid of this mob?!” Zhouda bellowed, showing no fear of the men. He unleashed the full force of his Yuan Xuan Realm aura.
Yuan Qi surged beneath Su Yi’s feet as he sped up instantly. Seeing the eight men charging directly at him, he didn’t even need to think to recognize them as members of the adventurer party. His eyes gleamed with a cold smile as he maintained his rapid pace.
150 meters, 90 meters, 30 meters…
The two sides were about to clash, and everyone unleashed their auras without hesitation.
“You guys deal with them first! I’ll go and find more help!”
Su Yi was at the front, leading the charge. Just as the adventurer party was about to reach him, he abruptly turned and dashed toward the forest on the side.
“Kill!”
At that moment, Zhouda, Guoyan, and Qingfeng were already right behind Su Yi. The adventurer party men couldn’t stop their advance either. No one had expected Su Yi to make such a sudden move.
Each side assumed that the other was Su Yi’s ally, so they attacked each other ruthlessly.
“Kill them! There is no need to show mercy!”
Qingfeng, wielding absolute authority over Zhouda and Guoyan, had already drawn a treasured sword. His Yuan Qi surged, and the blade’s glow was swift, sharp, and solid. He clashed fiercely with the adventurers.
“You guys handle these few brats! I will chase after that kid!”
The leader’s eyes were fixed on Su Yi. He was the primary target, and the leader immediately gave chase.
Among his men, two more Yuan Xuan Realm cultivators remained. There was no need to fear these youths, despite their strength. What mattered most was ensuring the main target didn’t escape.
Su Yi turned and ran, having no particular goodwill toward the three youths.
He also knew their abilities and cultivation levels were more than enough to handle the adventurers.
So, when he saw the three Hell Wolves, he had a ‘eureka’ moment. When shepherds quarrel, the wolf wins the game. He could just sit by the side and watch with glee as the two sides fight with each other.
However, Su Yi was wary. If either side realized they’d been tricked, things could quickly turn bad for him.
So, instead of staying to fight, he decided it was safer to retreat to a more secure distance.
“Brat! Where do you think you are going?!”
Suddenly, a shout rang out behind him, and a figure rapidly closed the distance.
Su Yi recognized the voice; it sounded familiar, as though he had heard it before. But he didn’t slow down—it was better to leave this place as quickly as possible.
However, the 500-kilogram sword on his back severely slowed him down. It didn’t take long for the Yuan Xuan Realm cultivator chasing him to catch up.
“Kid, let’s see how you can continue to run!”
The man yelled, gripping a short spear glowing with Yuan Qi. He hurled it toward Su Yi like a streak of lightning.
The spear, enveloped in radiant Yuan Qi, glowed as its sharp tip ripped through the air. It howled like thunder as it shot toward Su Yi’s back with terrifying speed.
In the heat of the moment, Su Yi leaped to the side while turning around, narrowly dodging the attack. However, the sudden maneuver forced him to come to a halt.
“Chak!”
The spear Su Yi had dodged embedded itself into a tree behind him. The immense force of the strike nearly drove it straight through the trunk. The bark splintered, cracks ran along the tree’s length, and leaves cascaded to the ground.
“Whoosh!”
The brief pause gave the man an opportunity. He charged forward with a second short spear in his hand, stabbing Su Yi with lightning speed—cold, precise, and deadly.
“Three Sabers of the Raging Dragon, First Saber, Raging Dragon Slash!”
Su Yi sneered coldly, his eyes glinting with both ruthlessness and a sliver of hope. He had anticipated this moment. As he shouted the technique’s name in his heart, his body surged with Yuan Qi. The energy coursed through his special meridians before converging on the massive saber in his grip.
“Shiing!”
In that instant, a dragon’s roar seemed to echo from the saber. Its momentum was thunderous, accompanied by violent winds. With unrelenting ferocity, the blade slashed toward the incoming spear.
The saber and spear clashed, and the sheer force of their auras rippled through the air. A sharp “crack” resounded, followed by a shockwave that tore through the surroundings, scattering stones and sand.
“Pat, Pat!”
Su Yi staggered backward a few steps, each step causing the ground beneath him to tremble slightly.
His opponent, on the other hand, slid back several meters, his face a mixture of astonishment and disbelief.
The man was the Yuan Xuan Realm Second Grade cultivator who had fought Su Yi last time. Now, the purlicue was sore and the hand holding the short spear was quivering.
[T.N: “purlicue” refers to the space between a person’s forefinger and thumb]
He was shocked. In their previous battle, although the kid had shown considerable strength, the man had been able to suppress him.
But from what he could tell from the strike, the kid now seemed to be able to suppress him instead.
He turned his hand and pulled out the short spear stuck in the tree behind him, holding two short spears in his hands once again. The man did not dare let his guard down for even a second. He stared closely at Su Yi.
Su Yi raised his eyes to meet his opponent’s stare. He recognized the man—he had fought him before. The original pair of short spears, which Su Yi had broken in their last encounter, had now been replaced by new ones.
