Chapter 499: Unprecedented
For a brief moment, within the dense forest, figures darted and leaped among the mountains, radiating a strong, commanding presence.
The ethereal figures of Qi-transformed demon beasts roared loudly, shaking the mountains and wilderness around them!
The winds surged, and the clouds billowed across the sky, creating a magnificent spectacle in all directions!
This entire scene was designed to block Su Yi.
Such a sight left one speechless.
“Su Yi will find it impossible to escape now!”
“They’ve surrounded him completely, and yet he thought he could escape unharmed by riding a demon beast as his mount. How naive to believe his cleverness could save him.”
“This young man has managed to unite all the direct disciples to trap him, making him the most exceptional figure in the history of the Divine Sword School!”
“While it’s uncertain who will contend with him in the future, he is undoubtedly unparalleled in his abilities!”
…
Many outer and inner disciples, who were far below, could only watch in astonishment, unable to participate in the siege. They stood in awe, observing the spectacle unfolding.
“We must intercept that young man, he’s so detestable!”
“After plundering all of us, we cannot allow him to escape!”
…
One by one, the inner disciples were consumed with fury, their teeth gritting in resentment.
From the moment they entered the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, Su Yi raided them completely, leaving them with nothing. Throughout the past month, they had been hiding, suffering, and making no progress. How could they not feel furious?
“Aaah…”
The Wolfbat let out a roar, releasing a crimson mist that spread over the vast emptiness, its aura ominously infiltrating the depths.
The blood mist churned, like towering waves in a stormy sea, surging with a malevolent force that filled the void.
At this moment, the Wolfbat gathered all its strength, moving with remarkable speed through the mass of animal figures, momentarily confusing them as they tried to locate it.
As nightfall approached, the moon began its rise, lighting up the sky.
“Aaah…”
The moonlight enveloped Wolfbat’s figure, casting it in a radiant glow and connecting them to the night sky.
“Boom…”
At that moment, the aura emanating from the Wolf-headed Demon Bat subtly intensified, as if the energy it had expended earlier was being replenished, and its speed was restored.
“The Wolf-headed Demon Bat has natural abilities that make it more powerful at night.”
Situ Muyang realized this was the innate ability of the Wolf-headed Demon Bat, making it more formidable than other demon beasts of the same rank, especially under the cover of night.
However, the direct disciples who had been relentlessly surrounding Su Yi were now considerably fatigued.
Under the principle of “one side’s gain is the other side’s loss,” Wolfbat seized the opportunity and managed to escape the encirclement.
Although some direct disciples still remained in pursuit, with Wolfbat’s speed, the danger had become minimal.
“What a dangerous situation! Wolfbat showed incredible courage!”
Situ Muyang sighed in relief. Over the past two hours, it had been a tense experience—he had never been surrounded by so many people before.
“Let’s continue toward the exit!”
Su Yi spoke, a faint enigmatic smile forming at the corner of his mouth, as his gaze shifted toward the ground below, as though searching for something.
“Roarrrr…”
The distant roars of beasts faded, the encirclement by the direct disciples being broken, while the Eight-winged Demon Python fell far behind.
Still, Su Yi knew this escape would only be temporary. Those disciples would certainly pursue him again.
But Su Yi had no intention of completely escaping from them.
The moon hung high, casting its silver light across the ancient world, illuminating both heaven and earth.
In the flowing moonlight, resembling a river, the contours of mountains and valleys were clear, and the shadows of trees swayed with grace.
The Wolfbat radiated a powerful crimson aura that intertwined with the moonlight, casting a dazzling light into the surroundings.
Far in the distance, mountain ranges appeared, winding like a dragon at rest under the night sky.
The mountains stretched out, seemingly dividing the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, with surrounding peaks encircling the area, shrouded in mist and clouds.
“That’s the place, where tomorrow’s entrance will appear.”
Situ Muyang spoke. “In those mountains lies the place where the entrance opens.”
“Wolfbat, head in that direction.”
Su Yi surveyed the area before pointing to a cluster of peaks not far away.
There, ancient trees reached skyward, lush and verdant, wrapped in a faint mist.
Wolfbat spread its wings, soaring into the midst of the towering peaks, its blood-red figure vanishing into the shadows.
…
“Chase him, the exit is ahead, that man won’t escape!”
“Where else could he run? Chase him down!”
The excitement in the air was palpable, charged with intense energy.
The direct disciples, having been left behind by the Wolf-headed Demon Bat, were relentless in their pursuit. The temptation of the Dark Spirit Fruits and Sword-patterned Stones was too great to resist.
In the darkness, the Eight-winged Demon Python glowed faintly with black radiance, visible only in the shadows of the night.
“Let’s see where you can go!”
Mu Yao’s expression was grim, frustrated that Su Yi had managed to escape.
The mountains stretched endlessly, their peaks rising sharply toward the sky.
At the highest peak, strange rocks jutted out, with a deep crevice splitting the peak, resembling a massive axe cleaving through. Ancient trees stood densely around, towering high.
Even more strangely, most of the surrounding peaks were lost to clouds and mist, leaving only the summits visible, creating the illusion of a fairyland.
Within the mountain crevice, Su Yi, Situ Muyang, and Wolfbat gathered their energy, concealing themselves.
“What are we doing here? It would be troublesome if they come chasing us.”
Situ Muyang had already scanned the surroundings. This location had the highest terrain, making it difficult for others to climb.
But if all the direct disciples came charging in, it would be an unavoidable trap. If they were surrounded, even Wolfbat would not be able to escape.
“I don’t think they’ll come.”
Su Yi smiled faintly, his eyes shining briefly. He gathered a pile of dry branches and leaves, tied them with vines, and created two scarecrows. He secured them to Wolfbat’s back and said, “Fly around and attract attention. After sunrise, just return here openly.”
“Roar…”
Wolfbat responded with a fierce roar, spreading its wings and soaring, gaining more power under the moon’s glow.
“What exactly are you planning?”
Situ Muyang, bewildered, noticed that Su Yi was not trying to avoid detection but was instead deliberately drawing attention.
“We’ll find out tomorrow. For now, let’s meditate and focus. Tomorrow may be a busy day.”
Su Yi, calm and composed, took several healing pills and sat cross-legged on the ground, focusing on deep breathing and meditation, with no fear of revealing his identity.
Situ Muyang, still confused and feeling uneasy, could not help but wonder what Su Yi’s true intentions were.
However, having seen enough of Su Yi’s character, Situ Muyang chose to trust him. For tonight, Su Yi seemed capable of playing tricks on all the direct disciples.
“These unlucky direct disciples…”
As Situ Muyang thought about the disciples chasing after the straw figures, he suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for them.
Suffering from his own injuries, he quickly resumed his healing exercises, with little time to worry about others.
…
“This is the Wolf-headed Demon Bat!”
“It’s Su Yi and Situ Muyang, the Dark Spirit Fruits and Sword-patterned Stones are right there!”
“See where you can escape!”
…
