Chapter 498: The Deviousness of a Woman’s Heart!
Immediately after, countless animal shapes rose into the air from every direction.
A crimson-hued exotic creature, with four wings spread wide, radiated a powerful and imposing aura.
Riding on a white spirit horse, adorned with wings on its back, the creature exhibited remarkable agility and radiated a brilliant light from head to toe.
A massive butterfly, its wings crackling with arcs of electricity, flapped its wings, radiating an aura reminiscent of lightning with every flutter.
…
In the blink of an eye, numerous demon beasts soared into the sky, appearing from all corners.
Each of these beasts was a vivid and lifelike embodiment of condensed vital energy.
On the backs of these shadowy creatures were young men and women, moving with grace and emanating an overwhelming presence.
“Four-winged Earthfire Beast, Flying Cloud Dragon Foal, Thunderous Sky-shattering Butterfly…”
Situ Muyang’s expression changed dramatically as he observed each of these vital energy beasts, all incredibly powerful, nearly on par with his Dark Phantom Falcon.
The figures riding these creatures were equally formidable.
“Roarrrr…”
From every direction, the silhouettes of powerful beasts soared upward, surrounding Su Yi.
“Let’s see how you escape this time!”
On the back of the Eight-winged Demon Python, Mu Yao smiled, her lips slightly pursed. Despite her young age, she had blossomed into an extraordinary beauty.
“Oh no, trouble’s brewing. That girl intentionally created this disturbance to draw in the direct disciples. What should we do now?”
Situ Muyang finally understood the situation. The woman had orchestrated this scene to attract the attention of powerful disciples and experts, trapping both Su Yi and him.
“Wolfbat, dodge them!”
Su Yi’s gaze grew focused, surveying the area. Despite the impressive strength of the direct disciples who had manifested their elemental forms, they were still in mid-air. Their speed might not rival that of the Wolfbat, and their energy consumption would be considerable.
“Roar.”
The Wolfbat let out a deep, resonant growl, its eyes glowing fiercely. Having recently undergone a transformation, it had surpassed its previous limits. Could its speed now match that of these vibrant, ethereal beasts? It spread its wings, charging forward with a sinister aura. As the surrounding creatures closed in, it evaded their grasp, already far away.
“Su Yi, there’s no way out!”
“Hand over the Dark Spirit Fruits and Sword-patterned Stones, or you won’t escape!”
“Roarrrr…”
The ancient realm trembled in response.
The combined roars of the beasts and the powerful shouts of the disciples were deafening, reverberating through the sky!
A gust of air swept through, pervading the vast skies.
Before long, another vibrant creature appeared and soared into the air, emerging from the mountains and joining the encirclement around Su Yi.
The Wolfbat, renowned for its speed, was now greatly slowed by the overwhelming number of ethereal creatures appearing all around. Its pace had been significantly reduced.
Thankfully, despite the slowed speed, the Wolfbat was still agile enough to avoid the continuous onslaught of beastly figures.
A dark silhouette of a black hunting eagle streaked through the sky.
On its back was a young man in his twenties, his features sharp and expression cold. Dressed in a tight-fitting black combat suit, he appeared with a gray cape trailing behind him. He locked eyes with Su Yi and said, “Let’s see if this battle continues.”
“Roar…”
The Wolfbat flapped its wings gracefully, tracing an elegant arc in mid-air, skillfully dodging the black eagle’s pursuit.
“No battle!”
Su Yi waved his hand dismissively, taking flight in a smooth exit.
“Do you know him? He looks quite strong.”
“Jian Shiyi, ranked fifteenth in the Sword Tower, was defeated by me in the past. Seems he still holds a grudge!” Su Yi chuckled, surprised to encounter Jian Shiyi once again.
“This isn’t looking good, more and more people are catching up!”
Situ Muyang was unfazed. Jian Shiyi may only be ranked fifteenth in the Sword Tower, but Zhang Diyun, ranked ninth, wasn’t even a challenge. However, witnessing the increasing number of ethereal beasts taking form made him uneasy.
Su Yi’s focus sharpened as he realized the situation: there were indeed thousands of direct disciples of the Divine Sword School closing in.
To become a direct disciple, one must have attained cultivation in the Yuan Spirit Realm and possess the ability to manifest elemental transformations.
Most of these disciples had chosen flying demon beasts to manifest, so it was likely that at least half of them were capable of flying.
That meant a vast number of direct disciples, at least in the thousands, were closing in.
If these disciples, with their manifested creatures, managed to form a tight encirclement, even the swift Wolf-headed Demon Bat might be overwhelmed.
“Roarrrr…”
Beastly roars thundered across the sky, as more and more ethereal creatures took form, shaking the heavens.
The Wolfbat found itself in a precarious situation, increasingly cornered, almost trapped.
“Su Yi, there is no escape. Even if you grow wings, you will not fly away!”
Mu Yao, riding the Eight-winged Demon Python and surrounded by dark radiance, spoke confidently, a smile tugging at her lips.
Pride shone in Mu Yao’s eyes as she surveyed the situation, fully aware that Su Yi, that crafty boy, would be caught in her trap.
“That little girl is too cunning!”
Situ Muyang turned to Mu Yao, his gaze filled with righteous anger. She had caught up to them on the Eight-winged Demon Python.
“The most venomous thing is a woman’s heart. You must be cautious when you grow up. The more beautiful she is, the more dangerous she becomes.”
Su Yi said, “This girl is already so devious at such a young age, and it will only get worse with time. I truly underestimated her.”
“Is that so? So, if you marry in the future, would you choose an ugly woman? Would you prefer them to be as unattractive as possible?” Situ Muyang asked, confused.
Su Yi glared at Situ Muyang and snapped, “What do you understand, you little brat?”
“Isn’t that what you said…?”
Situ Muyang pursed his lips and glanced at the growing number of ethereal creatures. He told Su Yi, “We need to think of something fast, or it’s going to get really messy!”
Su Yi thought deeply. Surrounded on all sides by direct disciples, he found himself trapped. He couldn’t escape, no matter how fast he tried to flee.
“We’ll figure something out!”
Su Yi pondered for a moment, and suddenly a flash of light flickered in his eyes. A sly smile curved on his lips.
“The more, the merrier. If they want to scheme against me, let’s see who comes out on top in the end!”
Su Yi smiled, amusement dancing in his eyes as he looked at the setting sun painting the sky in hues of orange. He spoke to Wolfbat, “Head for the exit.”
“What’s the plan? Tell me,” Situ Muyang asked, his curiosity piqued.
“You’ll see when the time comes.” Su Yi smiled mysteriously.
The setting sun dipped lower, its fiery red rays casting a bloody hue over the ancient land.
“Roarrrr…”
Beasts roared, their sounds reverberating as ethereal creatures filled the sky, their forms towering towards the heavens.
Thousands of creature silhouettes and disciples of the Divine Sword School surrounded Su Yi and Situ Muyang, standing atop their transformed beasts.
This was the most unified display the direct disciples of the Divine Sword School had ever shown, with no coordination needed—they all fully encircled Su Yi.
These were just some of the direct disciples. Others, though powerful, could not fly because they lacked the ability to condense transformed creature shadows of Qi. These disciples could only leap and pursue on the ground.
