Chapter 772: Provocation!
“However, inside there exists a group of formidable Three-headed Dragon-horned Pythons, with several at the third grade level in the Demonic Spirit Realm. The most powerful among them has likely attained the third grade level in the Demonic Spirit Realm!”
Jian Wuque explained, “There are multiple Three-headed Dragon-horned Pythons in the Demonic Spirit Realm, with the strongest potentially at the third grade level. We must exercise caution with this formation. Though our group is considerable in size, only Cheng Yanhuan and I possess cultivation in the Yuan True Realm. It is known that Yi Su managed to defeat Ouyang Jinwei at the first grade level in the Yuan True Realm, proving his capability to participate. Otherwise, just the two of us, Cheng Yanhuan and myself, would unlikely have a significant chance of securing the Dragon Crystal Fruit upon entering.”
Su Yi narrowed his eyes, finally comprehending why these individuals had not entered. The presence of a group of Three-headed Dragon-horned Pythons within was the reason.
Su Yi was familiar with this powerful demon beast species. Their true demonic bloodline rendered them incredibly formidable.
It was said that these Three-headed Dragon-horned Pythons carried the true bloodline of dragons, though this was quite rare.
The Three-headed Dragon-horned Python guarded the Dragon Crystal Fruit, presumably seeking to strengthen its bloodline. Such temptation proved irresistible even for the demon beast.
“If we proceed together, how shall we distribute the Dragon Crystal Fruit?”
Su Yi inquired of Jian Wuque, feeling a sense of familiarity with the Divine Sword School members.
“Dragon Crystal Fruits typically appear in sets of three to seven. We will distribute them equally based on individual contributions. Should there be insufficient Dragon Crystal Fruits, those who do not receive any will be compensated with other treasures.”
Jian Wuque nodded at Su Yi. This was their previously discussed arrangement. Everyone would enter the canyon, though it was certain there wouldn’t be enough Dragon Crystal Fruits.
Therefore, when the time came, the Dragon Crystal Fruits would be distributed according to each person’s contribution. Those who didn’t receive any would be compensated by the recipients with various treasures and benefits.
Su Yi smiled faintly and glanced toward the canyon. He shook his head at Jian Wuque and stated, “I have no interest in this arrangement. You may proceed together.”
Su Yi was not naive regarding Jian Wuque’s proposition.
Several Demonic True Realm Three-headed Dragon-horned Pythons, with the strongest potentially at the Third Grade of Yuan True Realm, were present. Though everyone there possessed considerable strength and was regarded as exceptional among the younger generation, Su Yi estimated that only a few could effectively combat a Demonic True Realm Three-headed Dragon-horned Python.
Among those present, Jian Wuque and Cheng Yanhuan, disciples of the Qiantian Sect, were the most powerful. It seemed more certain to Su Yi that he would have better prospects fighting alone.
Moreover, apart from the few Divine Sword School disciples, Su Yi was unfamiliar with the others, and no trust existed between them.
Upon hearing Su Yi’s words, the group became visibly affected. Initially, they had hoped Su Yi would join them, increasing their chances of success.
However, now Yi Su from the Overlord Sect appeared disinterested in joining forces with the others.
Jian Wuque and Cheng Yanhuan felt their hearts tremble slightly, their eyes filled with concealed emotions.
“Such indifference! Since you care nothing for others, then leave. We won’t force you, but don’t think to take advantage of us. None here are foolish!”
Liu Xiaohu spoke in a gentle yet chilly tone. Dressed in splendid robes and appearing quite handsome, his eyes, containing a hint of coldness, fixed directly on Su Yi.
Internally, Liu Xiaohu harbored displeasure toward Su Yi. Each encounter intensified his resentment, though a trace of fear lingered deep within.
Liu Xiaohu had maintained his antipathy toward Su Yi since their encounter at the Yutian Palace through to the auction. From jealousy emerged hatred. Earlier, upon seeing Su Yi, he had remained quiet, thinking they would join forces. He had even hoped the Three-headed Dragon-horned Python might attack and eliminate him.
They hadn’t anticipated Su Yi’s lack of interest in joining them. Observing his expression, it appeared he intended to proceed alone. Liu Xiaohu could no longer contain himself.
Liu Xiaohu’s words not only swayed the others but also aimed to drive Su Yi away, preventing him from potentially exploiting the situation.
Following Liu Xiaohu’s statement, the gazes of those present indeed began to shift subtly, growing more complex.
Someone had already been convinced, yet Yi Su declined to join, refusing to collaborate with the others. Undoubtedly, this suggested a degree of contempt for those present, naturally displeasing these proud and haughty young individuals.
Furthermore, if Su Yi were to follow them into the canyon while refusing cooperation, his intentions would indeed appear suspicious.
If Yi Su from the Overlord Sect were to acquire the Dragon Crystal Fruit at that time, he wouldn’t share it equally with the others. This would grant him a significant advantage.
Su Yi turned and fixed his gaze upon Liu Xiaohu’s figure.
In the pre-dawn darkness, Su Yi’s penetrating gaze flickered with a gentle red light, emanating an intensifying chill.
Regarding Liu Xiaohu, Su Yi maintained a strong impression. Previously at the Yutian Palace, if not for Jian Wannian and others’ intervention, he would have already taken action.
Su Yi hadn’t forgotten Liu Xiaohu’s expressions and actions at the auction.
“What did you say? Please repeat it.”
Su Yi stared at Liu Xiaohu and spoke calmly.
Under Su Yi’s gaze, Liu Xiaohu inexplicably began to feel a chill as his heart started pounding.
However, with so many present, Liu Xiaohu found retreat difficult due to his pride. Additionally, he sensed that with everyone having joined forces, even though Yi Su was powerful, none would dare act against him.
Silently gritting his teeth, Liu Xiaohu summoned his courage and looked directly at Su Yi, saying, “Don’t consider us all fools, looking down on us and refusing collaboration. If you won’t join forces with us, then abandon thoughts of taking advantage. We won’t compel you!”
“You’re half correct.”
Su Yi’s gaze remained fixed on Liu Xiaohu as he approached slowly, stating, “I don’t look down on everyone, just you!”
“What are you planning?”
Seeing Su Yi approach directly, Liu Xiaohu instinctively felt fear, involuntarily retreating several steps, his expression changing dramatically.
Liu Xiaohu understood well the naming tree’s influence on people. He knew his strength likely fell short of Sacred Mountain’s Ouyang Jinwei. Yi Su had defeated Ouyang Jinwei with a single move, so in confrontation, Liu Xiaohu would certainly be disadvantaged.
“Do you think the Tianxuan Sect’s protection extends here?”
Su Yi stared at Liu Xiaohu. Initially, he had paid little attention to Liu Xiaohu, but this person repeatedly provoked him. Within the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm, he couldn’t allow himself to be harassed by this clown any longer.
“Yi Su, mind your manners! Do you intend to fight us all?”
Liu Xiaohu was shocked. The other’s bearing clearly indicated intent to confront him. His heart trembled as he attempted to rally those present. With Cheng Yanhuan and Jian Wuque’s potential intervention, they need not fear this individual today.
“Stop involving others! My business is solely with you, no one else. This concerns no one but us. I told you at Yutian Palace that I don’t even consider you worthy of notice!”
Su Yi offered a cold smile. Having halted several steps from Liu Xiaohu, a subtle coldness filled his eyes. He observed everyone’s reactions, unconcerned if anyone chose to intervene.
