Chapter 192: The Diseased Snake Sect, Su Yu Appears!

~15 min read 2,947 words

The Snake Sect silently watched as the human race's heaven's pride continually fled up the mountain peak, a flicker of bloodthirsty undulation passing through its vertical pupils.

He extended his tongue and lightly licked his lips.

And that tongue was actually a snake's forked tongue.

Strands of icy aura seeped out from the Snake Sect's body.

"The human race's heaven's pride is nothing more than this!"

The Snake Sect gave a faint smile, madness spreading in its eyes.

"Keep fleeing; I love watching the expression of prey as they die in despair."

"Keh keh keh!"

The Snake Sect laughed strangely, and the myriad races' heaven's pride around it all drew back, increasing distance from the Snake Sect.

The Snake Sect counts as a top-tier heaven's pride of the Snake Race; at just over ten years old, it has already reached the cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Immaculate Golden Body.

It even has hope of breaking into the Flying Heaven Realm before the age of twenty.

Know that once one enters the Flying Heaven Realm, even among the top races, they can be considered a strong one.

If placed in Daxia, they could become a first-rate strong one of a province.

Just like Jiangnan Sheng, the whole province has only one Grand Master, and beneath that Grand Master, the strongest are the Flying Heaven Realm strong ones.

Although compared to the heaven's pride of the God, Demon, and Immortal Three Races, the Snake Sect is somewhat lacking, it does not prevent it from becoming a top-tier heaven's pride of the Myriad Race Continent.

Moreover, the Snake Sect's methods are extremely cruel; even fellow myriad race heaven's pride dread it.

It is said that when the Snake Sect was young, it directly devoured its own older brother to bolster its power.

From this, one can see how cold-blooded the Snake Sect is.

The Snake Sect silently gazed at the mountain peak and then suddenly spoke.

"By the way, where are those three stupid crocodile race fellows?"

The Snake Sect's brows slightly furrowed; logically, having received the information from the jade slip, they should have arrived by now, yet there is still no sign of the three crocodile race heaven's pride.

The Scorpion Race's heaven's pride gave a faint smile.

"Although this small world is not big, the information from the jade slip may not cover the entire small world; likely they haven't received the news yet."

The Crocodile-Turtle Race's heaven's pride snorted coldly.

"Those three idiots rely only on numbers to get into our squad; with or without them, it's the same—a bunch of trash."

Several heaven's pride present all said the same.

In their view, even the three crocodile race heaven's pride, who have already reached the peak Golden Body Perfection realm, still cannot enter their sight.

The Snake Sect nodded and then stopped caring.

Instead, it silently admired the silhouettes of the human race's heaven's pride fleeing atop the mountain peak.

The more he watched, the more fascinated he became.

"This panicked, directionless feeling truly makes one's whole body tremble!"

The Snake Sect's hoarse voice sounded.

The myriad races' heaven's pride all around fell silent.

The Snake Sect gave a faint smile and said.

"These guys are not my target; my target is that Su Yu."

"Su Yu?" the Scorpion Race's heaven's pride raised its brows slightly, "Isn't he the top scorer in this year's human race college entrance exam?"

The Crocodile-Turtle Race's heaven's pride snorted coldly.

"What strong ones could the human race's heaven's pride have? Just a forged Arhat Golden Body, and reportedly they've only just broken through to the fifth revolution; in front of the Snake Sect, they're hardly an opponent."

Know that the Snake Sect is a Nine Revolutions Immaculate Golden Body, only one step away from reaching the Perfection of the Immaculate Golden Body.

Once it reaches Perfection, even against a mid-Flying Heaven Realm strong one, it would have a fighting chance.

As for Su Yu's so-called Five Revolutions Arhat Golden Body,

they didn't take it to heart.

The Snake Sect's pupils kept flickering.

A greed-colored hue seeped out from the Snake Sect's gaze.

"Arhat Golden Body, the legendary golden body—I don't know if after devouring him I could break through to the Perfection of the Immaculate Golden Body!"

The Snake Sect seemed extremely excited, to the point that its entire body trembled slightly.

One couldn't tell whether it was trembling from excitement or from fear.

"Madman!"

The myriad races' heaven's pride around glanced at the Snake Sect with grim expressions.

They considered themselves already quite crazy, but compared to the Snake Sect, they seemed much more normal.

Thereafter, they stopped speaking and simply walked slowly toward the mountain peak.

They felt no fear at all of the human race fleeing.

Because the escape routes have all been blocked by them, unless there is a Flying Heaven Realm strong one among the human race.

And in this world, it is destined that outsiders cannot reach the Flying Heaven Realm.

This... is a dead end!

At this moment, atop the mountain peak.

The human race's strong ones all showed a look of sorrow and indignation.

Leading them, Nan Shou Ren's expression remained calm as he led the crowd rushing up the mountain peak.

"Shou Ren, why go to the peak? Once we go up there, we aren't Flying Heaven Realm martial artists; we fundamentally lack the ability to fly, and if we continue like this, we will eventually be surrounded by them."

A Golden Body strong one said with an ugly face.

He is no longer a heavenly pride of the Human Race; this time the relic targets Martial Artists below the Flying Heaven Realm, so the Southern King selected some Golden Body Realm adepts from the entire southern region.

His strength is also quite strong; he actually has the cultivation of Golden Body Great Perfection.

Unfortunately, ordinary Golden Body, in terms of combat power, even cannot compare to the Four Revolutions Immaculate Golden Body of Nan Shou Ren.

And among this group, they all take Nan Shou Ren as their leader.

Not only because the other party's identity is the Southern King's offspring, but more because of Nan Shou Ren's strength, making him the strongest among those present.

Other Golden Body experts, although they also have the cultivation of Golden Body Great Perfection, but ordinary Golden Body Great Perfection, how could their combat power possibly compare to the Myriad Races' heavenly pride?

The Human Race had not considered letting the heavenly pride of other regions enter the relic, but similar things happened elsewhere, so they could only select people from the southern region.

Thus, the Human Race's strength is much weaker compared to the Myriad Races'.

But there's no way; it's impossible not to let Human Race people in.

Everyone's expressions were somewhat weary.

From the moment they entered the relic, they have been chased and killed by the Myriad Races' strong ones until now.

Along the way, the Myriad Races' heavenly pride, with a mocking expression, targeted them.

Neither exterminating them nor letting them go.

Like herding sheep, they drove these Human Race strong ones together.

At first, seeing their companions, they even fantasized that joining forces could defeat the Myriad Races' heavenly pride.

But after several attempts, they discovered that even when they gathered, the Myriad Races' heavenly pride side always could bring forth some helpers.

Until now, they have been driven to this mountain peak.

A sense of pessimism spread among them.

Although they also wanted to fight the Myriad Races, facing the absolute strength gap, they had no hope at all.

Just one person from the Snake Sect could defeat most of those seated among them.

Moreover, beside the Snake Sect, there are heavenly pride from other races.

This is completely a dead end.

"Damn it, even if I die, I will fight to the death against a Myriad Races' heavenly pride!"

A man cursed angrily.

"When I was on the Myriad Races battlefield, I had never felt so stifled; the Myriad Races' little brats actually made me feel this miserable!"

He angrily looked down the mountain.

Down the mountain, strong auras continuously spread, as if oppressing them, forcing them to constantly rush toward the mountain peak.

Soon, everyone arrived at the mountain peak.

And ahead lies the endless abyss.

Even if a Golden Body expert falls into the abyss, there is only death, no survival.

To survive, only Flying Heaven Realm experts can do so.

Seeing this, Nan Shou Ren's calm expression also turned somewhat grim.

As for the Human Race experts behind Nan Shou Ren, they became even more desperate.

A Golden Body expert sat directly on the ground, panting heavily.

"Damn it, I don't want to go; it's just the Myriad Races, just death—I don't believe it. With so many of us, we still can't kill a Myriad Races' heavenly pride!"

Upon saying that, someone echoed.

"Not bad, even if that Myriad Races' heavenly pride is stronger, it's only Golden Body Realm cultivation; we're all Golden Body Realm, we can overwhelm them with numbers!"

"Exactly, let's go all out—we're not afraid of death!"

Hearing everyone's words, Nan Shou Ren's face showed a bitter smile.

Numbers?

The number of Myriad Races' heavenly pride is certainly not fewer than ours.

Moreover, in strength, the opponent is far superior; what can we fight with?

It's simply an egg against a stone.

Nan Shou Ren's heart was in turmoil; at this moment, the aura from below the mountain kept approaching, like a death god announcing their lives entering a countdown to death.

Nan Shou Ren gazed toward the direction down the mountain, murmuring softly.

"What would you do, you guy?"

Nan Shou Ren slightly shook his head, and then his gaze gradually became determined.

"Everyone..."

Nan Shou Ren's voice sounded, and everyone looked toward him.

Nan Shou Ren opened his mouth and smiled slightly.

"Then let's fight to the death—there have only been dying Human Race members, never kneeling ones!"

As the voice sounded, many people showed smiles.

A man gave a hehe laugh.

"Nan Xiaozi, you have your father's demeanor from back then—correct, there have only been dying Human Race members, never kneeling ones who live!"

"Brothers, get ready!"

That man gave a ferocious laugh, and a tiger-headed greatsword appeared in his hand.

The surrounding Human Race experts also burst into laughter.

"Today, let these Myriad Races' little brats know the bloodiness of our Human Race!"

"Hahaha, killing a Myriad Races' heavenly pride would mean I, Old Li, have broken even and contributed to Daxia!"

Someone laughed wildly, extremely carefree.

Nan Shou Ren took out a jade flute from his bosom, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, but this smile gradually turned mad.

Then... kill!

Clap-clap-clap!!!

A round of applause sounded.

Only to see, the Snake Sect leisurely walked up the peak, mockingly gazing at Nan Shou Ren and the others.

I can't help but applaud your courage; I thought I'd see despair on your faces, but you've disappointed me.

With the appearance of the Snake Sect, more and more Heaven's Pride of the Myriad Races appeared around.

They had their arms crossed over their chests, mockingly gazing at the crowd.

Like hunters leisurely eyeing their prey, they were full of mockery.

The Snake Sect lightly twisted its neck, which seemed boneless, actually turning it a full ninety degrees.

He flicked his tongue, slowly recovering.

I'm rather narrow-minded; since you didn't show me despair, I'll give you despair myself!

Kieh-kieh-kieh!!!

Accompanied by the Snake Sect's strange laughter.

The Heaven's Pride of the Myriad Races around sprang into action, transforming into their true forms.

Like desert scorpions, like deep-sea crocodile turtles, like alluring fox demons....

All kinds of races, at this moment, transformed into their true forms; each Heaven's Pride of the Myriad Races' eyes bore a bloodthirsty look.

Kieh-kieh-kieh, I've long wanted to taste the flesh and blood of the Human Race Golden Body; today I'm in luck!

Get lost, this guy is mine!

They rushed forward in a frenzy to slaughter the Human Race.

They kicked up violent waves, carrying endless suppression, as they slaughtered.

Nan Shou Ren roared angrily.

Everyone, kill!

As Nan Shou Ren's voice fell, the jade flute sounded repeatedly, circles of sound waves spreading out.

The Human Race Golden Body blessed by the sound waves surged in strength, madly charging toward the Heaven's Pride of the Myriad Races.

And those Heaven's Pride of the Myriad Races' faces slightly changed.

Within the range of the sound wave formation, their strength was actually weakened invisibly, while the Human Race gained strength.

Thus, one increased and the other decreased, greatly narrowing their original gap.

Nan Shou Ren's countenance turned ferocious, continuously playing the jade flute.

Even as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, he kept playing nonstop.

The Snake Sect stood at the battlefield's periphery, silently watching this battle, as if it needed no intervention from him.

The Snake Sect noticed Nan Shou Ren.

Its narrow triangular eyes narrowed slightly.

What a troublesome method!

The next moment, the Snake Sect lunged at Nan Shou Ren.

Afterimages of the Snake Sect lingered on the ground.

So fast that even though Nan Shou Ren had been watching the Snake Sect, he didn't have time to react.

Only to see, a dagger flashing with green light appeared in the Snake Sect's hand.

That green light was full of corrosiveness.

Even exposed to the air, one could hear a harsh, corrosive screech coming from the air.

Zizzle!!!

Offspring of an enfeoffed king... I hope your flesh and blood will excite me!

The Snake Sect gave a strange laugh, and the dagger in its hand lunged at Nan Shou Ren.

Nan Shou Ren's pupils contracted sharply; he tried to defend, but realized that at such terrifying speed, he had no power to resist.

A sense of despair permeated Nan Shou Ren's mind.

Could it be... that I'm about to die?

Nan Shou Ren's expression went numb.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared before Nan Shou Ren's eyes.

Su Yu?

Nan Shou Ren's expression twitched slightly.

Could this be a hallucination before death?

He gave a bitter laugh.

However, a gentle voice sounded in his ear, cutting off his bitter laugh.

Death my ass, I'm your captain!

Nan Shou Ren's ears twitched, his eyes snapping open.

Indeed, before him, a youth's silhouette had appeared at some unknown time.

Facing the Snake Sect's dagger, the youth slowly extended his right hand, a jade-white light continually flowing between his fingers, glimmering.

He actually gripped the Snake Sect's dagger barehanded.

Su Yu! It's really you!

Nan Shou Ren said in astonishment.

Originally, facing the Snake Sect's assassination attempt, he had already prepared for death; but now, Su Yu's sudden appearance let Nan Shou Ren instantly awaken.

He excitedly gazed at Su Yu.

I don't know why, but after the battle at Hope City, whenever facing Su Yu, he always feels a sense of safety.

Su Yu calmly turned his head and said.

"Is Su Yu also someone you can call?"

Nan Shou Ren's expression twitched slightly.

Su Yu's mouth curved into an arc.

"Call me Captain!"

Nan Shou Ren gave a hehe laugh.

"Captain!"

Meanwhile, the Snake Sect in front, seeing the suddenly appearing Su Yu, gripped his dagger tightly, his face slightly changed.

He sized up Su Yu from head to toe.

In his narrow triangular eyes, a sharp light flickered.

He flicked his snake tongue, like a hunter spotting a fat, plump sheep.

"Are you Su Yu?"

Su Yu calmly looked at the Snake Sect and said.

"What's it to you who I am?"

The Snake Sect was stunned, never expecting this guy in front of him to not follow the usual routine.

But he didn't care either.

He excitedly sized up Su Yu, a sickly smile appearing on his face.

"Not bad, not bad—the power of the Arhat Golden Body is truly fascinating!"

He madly stared at Su Yu's arm, that white jade light fascinating him.

"I just don't know what the taste of devouring is like."

Su Yu's brows slightly furrowed, he retracted his arm and quietly looked at the Snake Sect.

"Su Yu, this guy is the Snake Clan's heavenly pride, possessing the Nine Revolutions Flawless Golden Body cultivation; his methods are somewhat strange, excelling at poison!"

Nan Shou Ren explained from behind Su Yu.

Su Yu slightly nodded and said.

"Alright, I got it—go help others; I'll take care of this guy!"

At this moment, without Nan Shou Ren's Sound Wave Formation's help, the Human Race side has already fallen into decline.

Nan Shou Ren dared not delay, blowing the Sound Wave Formation again.

Ripples of sound waves spread outward, affecting everything around.

Only Su Yu and the Snake Sect stood still in place, utterly unaffected by Nan Shou Ren.

The Snake Sect continued sizing up Su Yu, as if looking at an unparalleled treasure.

A sickly flush appeared on his face.

"What a fragrant scent—truly deserving of the legendary Arhat Golden Body, it fascinates me, Su Yu; I can't bear to kill you, I want to make you a specimen."

"Place it in my room, day and night I'll smell your scent!"

The Snake Sect gave a strange laugh, crazy light overflowing from his narrow triangular eyes.

Su Yu calmly said.

"Has anyone ever told you your triangular eyes are annoying?"

The Snake Sect narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed.

"Of course someone has—but those people I ate."

Speaking, his snake tongue kept flicking out.

Su Yu's face remained calm as he softly said.

"You disgust me!"

"Then let me dig out your eyeballs."
