Chapter 107: Mocked by a Bamboo

That figure was none other than Su Yuanshan; he had been hiding behind a rock, but accidentally made a sound, which was what drew Zhuxian over.

Left with no choice, he had to flash out.

Seeing Su Yuanshan, Hongxiu could not help but be stunned; she had not expected that the person who had unintentionally saved her life was actually this dark-faced man!

And she had previously ignored him and looked down on him, which left Hongxiu with mixed feelings; she couldn't help but glance at Su Yuanshan a few more times, feeling that he was more pleasing to the eye than before.

Sima Wuhen and the others felt a surge of joy in their hearts upon seeing Su Yuanshan, as if they had seen a glimmer of light.

They had witnessed with their own eyes the scene of Su Yuanshan displaying his divine might at Zhoutian Si, and they understood in their hearts that Su Yuanshan was stronger than them, so naturally, he had a better chance of winning than they did!

In fact, it was not just them; Su Yuanshan himself thought the same.

After all, he had just obtained the Word-Spirit Vajra and was in high spirits, and he was just looking to test his skills against Zhuxian.

After all, this guy was blocking his path and was a target he had to eliminate.

Furthermore, those monks from Wuyang Temple had also died here; although Su Yuanshan had no personal connection to them, seeing them killed made him feel somewhat uncomfortable, and naturally, he didn't find these bamboo people and this Bamboo Immortal very pleasing to the eye!

So, without a word, he directly chanted the incantation for this Word-Spirit Vajra.

"The Great Dao is inaction, the Word-Spirit suppresses the heavens!

Vajra, appear, and obey my command!"

This Word-Spirit Vajra could withstand all attacks and possessed the power of "words becoming law," meaning that when he summoned this Word-Spirit Vajra, he would be in an invincible state for one hour, and every word he spat out would form a spell to directly attack the enemy!

In other words, an invincible golden body, plus instant-cast skills with no cooldown, just thinking about it made his blood boil.

So Su Yuanshan didn't say a word and used it directly.

He had thought he could easily kill this formidable Zhuxian in seconds, or at the very least force him into a retreat without a chance to fight back, but the reality was—he shouted twice, and not even a hair of the Vajra appeared!

That's right, at this most critical moment, the spell had actually failed; no one knew the reason, and at this moment, Su Yuanshan felt a bit panicked!

However, Zhuxian seemed to give him no time to think and launched an attack directly at him, "Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish," Zhuxian's attack speed was very fast, so fast that Su Yuanshan's eyes could not keep up.

Failing to dodge in time, a strand of hair on his head was directly shaved off by Zhuxian's bamboo-leaf sword, and the tip of the sword grazed past Su Yuanshan's face, missing by only an inch, nearly causing his face to bloom.

Su Yuanshan was greatly shocked, nearly thinking he was done for!

He had just dodged this strike and subconsciously slid outward, yet in the blink of an eye, he was shocked to discover that Zhuxian was already right in front of him again.

Fast, damn it, this speed was too fast; had this bastard installed a rocket engine?

Su Yuanshan had no choice but to dodge again!

Dodge after dodge, each time in extreme danger!

This scene made Tian Ruoyun's face turn pale; seeing Sima Wuhen, she was terrified and struggled to go over to help, but was persuaded by Cai Lian.

"Your arm is so badly injured, how can you go over to help? Even if you go, you'll just be a burden! Don't be anxious for now; your friend seems to be stronger than us, so for a while, he should…………………… be fine!"

Cai Lian comforted Sima Wuhen this way, but clearly, she didn't have much confidence in Su Yuanshan either, because anyone could see that although Su Yuanshan was stronger than the girl in red, he didn't seem to be up to the task when facing Zhuxian!

If it continued like this, he would likely die at the hands of Zhuxian sooner or later.

Seeing this scene, Xie Lingyu, the Sect Master of the Yaoguang Sword Sect, could not help but sigh slightly; she was currently barely managing to fend off the attacks of the other three bamboo people along with Lv Qingshan, Huang Yang, the middle-aged scholar from Kaiyuan Academy, the girl in purple, and others, and even that felt difficult, let alone sparing the energy to save someone!

It was estimated that if she were the least bit careless, she would be finished here in a split second, becoming a pile of dry bones and the nutrients for this bamboo forest!

Su Yuanshan avoided Zhuxian's attacks time and again; he didn't know if it was due to the influence of the airflow on Zhuxian or some other reason, but he felt that dodging was becoming increasingly difficult and strenuous.

The others had all noticed this point as well!

Originally, they had held a glimmer of hope for Su Yuanshan, but now it seemed that this hope was going to be dashed.

Lv Qingshan could not help but sigh slightly in his heart, thinking, I'm afraid this dark-faced man is going to be buried here just like us; I see his natural talent seems quite good, something I have never seen before, and given time he would surely achieve great things, what a pity, what a pity.

At this moment, Su Yuanshan was more depressed than anyone; he had been willing to rely on the Word-Spirit Vajra to easily kill this Zhuxian in seconds,

But clearly, he had overestimated his luck!

It seems that the saying that luck is also a part of strength is not just empty words!

But what is the use of thinking about these things? If things go wrong, I might really capsize in the gutter this time!

Su Yuanshan wore a bitter smile, but fortunately, his mental fortitude was strong, and he still struggled to circle with Zhuxian.

During this period, he had tried many methods, such as wanting to use the City God's Demon-Slaying Sword, or the City God's Mountain and River Seal, or other means, such as teleportation talismans,

But he discovered that for some reason, these things had lost their effect here!

Could it be because this place is one of the mysterious Hundred Ruins……………… Taoyuan Xujing, which is why this situation is occurring?

Or is it because he used the Word-Spirit Vajra that those things lost their effect?

But this Word-Spirit Vajra wasn't even summoned successfully?

Why would it be like this?

Su Yuanshan could not figure it out, and of course, he had no more time to think about it, because Zhuxian's storm-like attacks had already left him exhausted!

At that moment, he really wanted to curse, to curse fiercely, but the words Zhuxian said next made him want to curse even more.

Perhaps because he kept dodging and managed to narrowly escape every time, it made Zhuxian somewhat impatient,

This formidable demon immortal finally spoke for the first time, but the voice was somewhat strange, the words were stiff, the speech was intermittent, and it was extremely grating to the ears.

"Pitiful... bamboo (borer) worm... weak... should... have the... awareness... of a worm... cannot change... anything, your death……………… is already fated! No matter how……………… you struggle……………… it is all……………… in vain!"

Su Yuanshan finally heard it; this guy was mocking his weakness!

I have actually been mocked by a bamboo!

Is there anything more bizarre than this in the world?

But this broken bamboo is also too strong; even Huo Jun is not on the same level compared to him!

No wonder Huo Jun kept urging me to come here to find Taohua Xianren before he died; it seems there was some truth to it!

This broken bamboo should only be a subordinate of Taohua Xianren, right?

If even a subordinate of his is this formidable, how is one supposed to fight that Taohua Xianren?

To be honest, Su Yuanshan was starting to lose his nerve!

But now, losing his nerve seemed useless; at this rate, he was one hundred percent going to be finished here!

He first said that he was indeed not strong enough after all, and that if he had known, he would have absorbed more incense outside to improve his strength before coming in.

But it is too late to say anything now; there is no medicine for regret sold in this world!

This is probably what is called a dead end; I, a dignified City God, am actually going to die at the hands of a monster—just thinking about it feels ridiculous!

I am truly unwilling to accept this!

Seeing that Su Yuanshan was about to be finished, the girl in red finally gritted her teeth and rushed up, joining Su Yuanshan to deal with that Zhuxian together, but it was clearly of no avail.

Because the disparity in strength was too vast!
