Chapter 89: Confrontation
“Sss…”
Suddenly, as the man sent a punch towards Su Yi, a green light sparkled from within the tree cave, which was hidden by green vines, and a streak of light shot out as fast as lightning, exuding a presence like that of thunder within a storm.
“Whoosh!”
It was all too quick. There was only a flash of green, and then a wide, blood-red, gaping jaw appeared.
The man who was attacking Su Yi did not manage to react in time and was swallowed headfirst by the open jaw of the snake.
“Sh*t!”
It was too late for the other two men to save the man when they realized what was happening. With cries of desperation resonating in the air, fresh blood flowed down the sides of the snake’s jaw, leaving only a pair of feet hanging outside its mouth.
“Green Jade Python!”
The other two men shivered. They were really shocked; they could have never imagined that a Green Jade Python would come shooting out from the brat’s back.
Initially, when they had seen the brat take out the White Jade Fungi, they assumed that the snake was not around or had already been killed. They never expected an ambush by the snake.
But even if it was attacking them, shouldn’t it swallow the brat first?
“Sss!”
The snake’s eyes glimmered with chilly light. It recognized the three men before it. They were the ones who had hurt it not long ago, and now that it had seen its foes, it was not going to let them go easily.
Theoretically, for a Green Jade Python to be able to swallow a Yuan Soul Realm cultivator who was at the peak of Ninth Grade should be slightly difficult.
But the snake had launched a surprise attack, totally out of the man’s expectations; hence it turned into a one shot, one kill. And now all that was left were the two men, which it was not at all afraid of.
“Now, do you think I am courting death?”
Su Yi looked at the shocked leader of the group. A cold light emanated from his eyes.
With the Green Jade Python present, he was not afraid of the men cooperating and trying to kill him.
“This beast listens to your orders?” Looking at the snake who was slithering about beside Su Yi, the leading man finally understood the situation.
It seemed that the Green Jade Python listened to the brat’s orders.
This fact made the leading man shake. This was way too weird; how could this brat know how to control beasts?
“Take a guess.” Su Yi looked at the man and smiled slightly.
“Humph! Did you think that the Green Jade Python could take the two of us on? You are too naïve!”
The leading man sneered coldly. Then, he turned around and said to the stunned man beside him, “This brat is not normal. Distract the snake while I kill this kid!”
“Okay!” The tall, skinny other man who was still alive inhaled deeply. He was aware of how difficult it would be for him to defeat the Green Jade Python, but the snake was already hurt. He should have little trouble diverting the snake’s attention for a short time.
Due to a moment’s negligence, his companion, who was about at the same degree of cultivation as him, was devoured swiftly.
“Kid, you seem to have some tricks up your sleeve, but you are still too young!”
The leader had a feeling that Su Yi was special. It could be said that this brat, who was still wet behind the ears, came to the Forest of Demons to search for treasures. He could also be an important disciple from a large sect or school.
But from how abnormal this kid was, it would most likely be the latter. This was his chance! If he could get some stuff from the kid, he would have struck a fortune, and from here on out, he would be able to live a good life! Become a person above others! A life where he would get whatever he wanted!
The leader glanced at Su Yi, filled with immense greed and bloodlust, as he reflected on the future.
Su Yi raised his eyes. He felt the thick bloodlust emanating from the person in front of him, and within the depths of his eyes, the same amount of bloodlust swirled within.
“Do it! Stall that snake!”
The leader took action because he could not wait any longer. A golden-colored Yuan Qi erupted from him as his feet moved forward, and his figure sprinted forward, slashing the ringed saber in his palm as viciously as he could toward Su Yi.
But at this time, the Green Jade Python shot forth once again. As that gigantic figure towered above them, it swung its giant tail, sending a hail of rocks and sand towards the two men. A violent wind blew at the impact.
When facing the Green Jade Python, not even the leading man dared to take it head-on.
Before getting hit by the violent wind, there was a movement of golden Yuan Qi beneath his feet, and his body dodged the attack like an eel. His body technique may not be high-level, but he definitely proved that he had the experience to make up for it.
“Brother Ji, I will try to stall for as much time as I can! Finish the fight on your side quickly!”
The skinny, tall man took action. Despite the dread in his eyes, his expression was icy and harsh. He had a weapon in his hand. It was something between a spear and a halberd. As he intercepted the snake, he was surrounded by a dim black Yuan Qi of the Earth attribute.
“Kid, I would like to see how strong you are!”
Sneering, a cold light flashed across the leader’s eyes as he raised his ringed saber. It reflected a chilling light, and with a gust of wind, he mercilessly brought the blade down on Su Yi.
The sword was accompanied by a stinging wind that caused Su Yi’s hair to flap around and stung his forehead a little.
Su Yi raised his eyebrow. This man’s ability was far worse than the Young Master of Black Fiend School, but his fierceness and merciless actions were there to make up for it. This was a result of his saber tasting blood all the time.
Looking straight at the blade that was coming down on him, Su Yi was not the same as before. White-colored Yuan Qi moved under his feet, and together with the “Hundred Transformations Step,” his figure was like that of a floating speck of dust in the wind as he dodged the blade.
The leader was astonished, but his countenance did not show it. With another swipe, his blade slashed through the air, glittering with a ruthless light as it shifted direction towards Su Yi’s back.
Feeling the sharp wind behind him, Su Yi leaped away.
This man was ruthless and aggressive, far harder to deal with than the Young Master from Black Fiend School.
Yuan Qi burst forth from the soles of Su Yi’s feet as they gathered to form a whirlpool. This was the first time Su Yi had used the “Hundred Transformations Step” to face an opponent.
When the leader saw Su Yi dodge his strike for the second time, his face turned surprised and confused, but his sword did not pause for a moment.
The saber technique of the man was not of a high level, but it was quite effective.
Sweep, chop, stir, cut, brush past, press down, cleave, and dash. They were the simplest moves, but also the most effective ones.
But right now, Su Yi was in the zone. Though his cultivation level was slightly lower, with his “Hundred Transformations Step,” he turned the situation around. From his initial somewhat pathetic state to his current state, where he could deal with this situation easily.
After all, the “Hundred Transformations Step” was an Emperor Grade Body Technique!
Although Su Yi had not cultivated it to its limit, using it to deal with these kinds of people was more than enough.
Furthermore, there may have been a significant difference between the Yuan Xuan Realm and the Yuan Soul Realm due to Su Yi’s lower cultivation level compared to the man he was battling. This was because the man had entered the Yuan Xuan Realm, which allowed him to fully unleash Yuan Qi.
However, Su Yi was already able to engage in direct combat with the Young Master of Black Fiend School when he was in the Yuan Soul Realm Third Grade because of his Chaotic Yuan Demonic Body from the “Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique” and the vast amount of Yuan Qi that he possessed. In addition to his advantages, the gap between his cultivation and that of his opponent had significantly narrowed by the time he reached the Yuan Soul Realm Sixth Grade.
