Chapter 70: Swearing and Cursing
Su Yi seized the opportunity to survey the area. He considered ways to escape out of this predicament.
If he acted now, that young disciple was only around Yuan Xuan Realm cultivation level. If he suddenly attacked him, he may have a chance.
But the hardest part is that, after he attacked the Yuan Xuan Realm young disciple, even if he succeeded and managed to fatally bring him down, he would definitely attract the attention of other disciples. Once they noticed him, then he would not have any chance left.
If he did not attract the attention of other disciples, he may have a chance of survival.
It was several hundred meters away from the mine, and there seemed to be no other disciples nearby the ravine. Su Yi was furiously calculating whether that chance was worth taking.
“Are you looking for a beating? Hurry up and move! Do you want to die?!”
The young disciple noticed the two older miners resting and yelled at them. Without hesitation, he kicked one of the old miners.
“Bang!”
The thin body of the miner staggered a few steps from the kick.
“Hurry up!”
The disciple was merciless, and he raised another foot towards the second old miner.
“Swish!”
Su Yi made his choice at this point. He was unsure if he would ever be able to leave the mine again if he returned.
The chances of escaping from within the mine would probably be tens of times slimmer than now.
He had no time to hesitate. It was the best time to make his move.
The chance had arrived, and Su Yi acted. There was a very heavy stone in his hand while he performed the “Hundred Transformations Step.”
Just as the young disciple raised his second foot, Su Yi’s figure appeared behind him.
He circulated his Yuan Qi and fiercely slammed the rock against the back of the disciple’s head.
Everything happened in a single breath. It was as fast as lightning.
Surprise attacks had always been a specialty of Su Yi.
“Bang!”
A low thud was heard. The young disciple had no idea what had occurred to him. He did not expect a miner to attack him. The back of his head was quickly smashed, and blood poured forth.
Su Yi hit with all of his strength. How powerful would that be? There was only a sliver of life left in the young disciple’s head, which was immediately smashed to bits. It all happened too fast. So quickly that old person was unable to respond. The young disciple was nearly dead and had fallen to the ground when the old man suddenly recognized what had happened. Even more shocked were the two older miners. They didn’t believe the young person, who appeared to be well-behaved and honest, had the guts to murder a Black Fiend School disciple.
“Everyone, jump down swiftly. Escape immediately while we still have the chance; if we return, we will face death!” Su Yi spoke to the old person and the two miners, who were still astonished. He continued to move while speaking. He turned his body and immediately wanted to jump into the deep valley. Because the bottom was a ravine, there should be a tunnel. It was pitch black down there, and Su Yi had no idea what would happen after he jumped down. But if he returns to the mine, there will be no hope left.
“There is no other way, kid. Who asked you to become involved in this?”
Suddenly, Su Yi heard a voice like the talking of a mosquito.
Only Su Yi could hear this voice.
And as Su Yi heard this voice, his body, which had just turned around, suddenly stopped. He was pulled back by something, and then there was a loud shout from behind him. “Oh no! Murder! Someone has killed a disciple of Black Fiend School!”
The voice was very loud. In this deep night, it was enough to travel throughout the camp.
Su Yi quickly turned his head back. The one who was behind him was not anyone else but the old man. He was actually pulling his sleeve.
When the shout spread, Su Yi’s expression changed greatly. He prepared his arm and sent a fist flying towards the old man.
Yuan Qi was giving off a rumbling sound in his vein, and it gathered on his fist, blowing apart the air around it. It was not the “Overlord’s Fist,” but it was a fist with all of Su Yi’s might. Its strength was also not normal.
“Murder! Hurry, come!”
The old man kept on shouting at the side while his body dodged Su Yi’s fist while looking all pathetic, but he still dodged to Su Yi’s side, and his hand was still holding onto Su Yi’s clothes.
Su Yi did not know what happened. All he felt was that the old man took the opportunity to swing him away. A strength that was soft yet hard sent him off.
Afterward, Su Yi was swung out several meters. What people saw from the side would be that Su Yi had staggered a few steps and his foot had slipped.
“Grind…”
Su Yi’s body fell and slid across the ground.
“Strong, very strong!”
At that moment, only Su Yi knew that the short old person was definitely very strong. Purposefully becoming a miner, he must be plotting something.
“What audacity! Are you courting death?!”
The shouts just now had alerted the disciples, and instantly several figures darted towards the area.
Su Yi was unharmed, and when he quickly stood up, there were already multiple people around him.
Bloodthirsty auras spread around the area, and various weapons—sabers, spears, swords, and halberds—were all pointed towards Su Yi from all directions.
“Behave and don’t move!”
A disciple shouted at Su Yi, and another disciple rushed forwards to check on the young disciple who was on the ground.
“It’s all over.”
Su Yi’s expression was as grim as it could be. Now there were ten-plus disciples there, and more were coming. Any one of them would have a cultivation level most likely above his, and there were even Yuan Spirit Realm cultivators. How would he be a match for any of them?
The two miners had not snapped out from their daze and were also tightly surrounded.
“It was him! It was the kid who killed the person!”
“It was the kid who killed the disciple! It had nothing to do with us!”
The two miners were terrified and panicking as they pointed towards Su Yi.
“Human nature…”
Su Yi sighed helplessly. This was human nature.
Now, the person who Su Yi hated the most was naturally that skinny and short old man. He had even wanted to bring that old man along with him. Never had he expected the old man to bite the hand that fed him.
“Where is he?”
And as Su Yi was cursing the culprit who caused that situation, he suddenly realized something. The old man, who was just there, had already disappeared completely without a trace.
“He’s dead!”
The disciple who was checking the disciple whom Su Yi had hit stood up and shook his head as he said to the other disciples, The disciple was already as dead as he could ever be.
“How bold! You are courting death!”
A disciple of Black Fiend School shouted and kicked Su Yi.
“Bam!”
That kick was filled with strength. The disciple had the cultivation level of the Yuan Xuan Realm, and Su Yi was sent flying.
“Puh!”
When such strength hit Su Yi’s body, a mouthful of blood was spat out, and his body landed on the ground heavily.
“This kid seemed to be someone whom High Elder Bai had brought along. Leave him alive for now and notify High Elder Bai of this. Then we shall punish him!” The man who had just checked the dead disciple said. His face showed no emotions. He continued saying, “Spread out and search. There was another one who escaped; find him.”
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
When the disciples heard the man’s words, they instantly spread out in every direction. They did not even exclude the ravine. Some disciples jumped into the ravine to check.
The man who had just spoken seemed to be the highest-ranking among all the disciples, and afterward, he went to Su Yi’s side. Numerous energies landed on Su Yi, and a seal was formed on him. The man said, “Bring these two in and lock this kid into the prison while he waits for his punishment!”
“Yes!”
There were two disciples. One hoisted Su Yi on his shoulder, while the other led the two old miners back towards the mine.
“Chase him down. I want to see how far he can run!”
The remaining few disciples also joined in the hunt for the old man.
Su Yi had been imprisoned again. At this time, he was bitterly swearing and cursing at the old man. If not for the old man, he would definitely have a chance to escape.
But now, he was probably being sent to the execution grounds.
