Chapter 1766 - 650: A Job Well Done (Part 3)

"This toad is of no use to you, keeping it by your side is rather a hidden danger.

"But in my hands, it can save thousands of people.

"I urge you to rethink."

Su Mo was somewhat stunned at these words:

"Could it be that someone has been poisoned by something strange, requiring this toad as an antidote?"

"No."

The burly man said coldly, "Don’t ask anymore, just say whether you’ll hand it over or not."

"I won’t."

Su Mo shook his head: "Moreover, who said this toad is useless to me? It’s also of great use to me.

"You better give up on this idea..."

"Fine!"

At this point, the burly man stopped speaking, turned around, and instead of making a move, he conjured a thick smoke.

Su Mo frowned slightly, immediately swept back with Hua Shiyi.

Hua Shiyi didn’t expect Su Mo to protect her, hastily pulling the maid beside her amidst the chaos.

The three retreated several feet away.

Seeing this, Ying Wufeng sneered:

"A mere poisonous smoke, what can it do to me!?"

He had originally practiced poison skill, his entire inner strength was toxic, and seeing the burly man’s move, using smoke as a cover, he didn’t take it to heart.

Immediately he charged forward, intending to escape.

But just as he reached the smoke, a black shadow darted out.

When Hua Junying and Wufeng got a clear look at the black shadow, it felt like he was plunged into an icy abyss.

The black shadow was unmistakably a big snake.

Its body was pitch black, with blood-colored patterns, and its eyes were cold and merciless like shattered gold.

"Monster!!!"

Ying Wufeng exclaimed in shock, barely had time to react, and struck out with both hands.

Unexpectedly, the hand power applied to its body didn’t shake the snake at all.

Instead, it seemed to be enraged, its neck scales puffed up on both sides, its head raised high, then suddenly lunged forward.

Ying Wufeng didn’t even grunt, was sent flying against the wall, rolled to the ground, where the snakes slithered away as if there was something filthy on him.

And the big snake, at this moment, coiled up, raised its head, and looked down at Su Mo and the others from above.

Suddenly it spoke in human language:

"I’ll give you one more chance, just hand over the toad, let me avenge my disciples.

"And this matter will be over.

"I can even owe you a favor and repay you whenever you need.

"But if you stubbornly resist... I might as well swallow you and the toad together."

"How about... how about giving it to it?"

Hua Shiyi, although she considers herself an iron-blooded true hero on most days.

But that’s with people.

With snakes... especially such monsters.

She truly couldn’t muster up the iron blood.

As a Jianghu person, she had also thought about how she would die.

In Jianghu, dying while eradicating evil.

Or being ambushed or plotted against.

Even drinking to death or eating too much.

She had considered, but... never thought she’d be swallowed by a snake.

Especially a monster!

Su Mo chuckled upon hearing:

"You always claim to be an old Jianghu, can’t you see this snake is fake?"

"Fake?"

Hua Shiyi was startled: "It clearly looks real..."

"It only looks that way."

Su Mo said softly:

"In Jianghu, such tricks are not uncommon.

"For instance... techniques like the Immortal Rope.

"The scene before us is just an eye blocking technique..."

"An eye blocking technique?"

The big snake in front, hearing this, its eyes seemed even colder, more ruthless:

"At death’s door, and still thinking of using mortal skills to misinterpret my divine skills?"

"What a divine skill..."

Su Mo gently shook his head:

"Just now Ying Wufeng gave you those two palms, he might have been in panic and didn’t see clearly.

"But I saw clearly.

"Those two palms hit you, and there was no ripple.

"They went right through.

"Since you’ve shown your true form, even if you’re a monster, you should have flesh and blood.

"How could there be such an illusion?

"His palm power actually hit the wall behind you.

"Obviously, your body has form but no substance.

"If not an illusion technique, what else?

"Besides... you used the thick smoke to conceal, at first I thought there was poison in the smoke.

"But after seeing those two palms by Ying Wufeng, I understood...

"The thick smoke was actually to obscure beneath you.

"After all, you have form but no substance, and the snakes on the ground are constantly moving.

"If not for this moment, how could these small snakes come and go on the big snake’s body?

"Lastly... if you truly are a snake.

"How would you use your head to hit someone?

"Even if you don’t bite, you should swallow.

"Now the smoke obscures, Cloud Mountain Mist, and the big snake reveals itself, indeed spectacular.

"This is good work, deserving of a reward!"

At the end of the words, with a flick of the hand, a vigorous wind suddenly rose, circling around the big snake, then swept it out of the cave.

Hua Shiyi looked closely, it was just as Su Mo said.

The snake had no real body.

Although it was unclear what techniques were used to deceive everyone.

It left flaws.

And the big snake across, seeing this, finally sighed.

Suddenly, its form scattered, leaving the burly man standing in the cave, looking at Su Mo:

"Good eyesight.

"Leaving this toad in your hands makes sense... just hope you don’t return it to Sikong Hua Ji.

"Goodbye!"

"Hold on!"

Su Mo hurriedly spoke.

But this person was determined to leave, as a cloud of yellow smoke suddenly exploded, once the smoke cleared, the person was gone.

Hua Shiyi frowned tightly:

"He ran away..."

Su Mo nodded gently, though the person ran, there was a hint of laughter in his eyes:

"Yes, he ran."

His eyes then turned to Hua Junying Wufeng, slightly frowning, suddenly reaching out to grab.

Though Ying Wufeng seemed heavily injured by the big snake, in reality, someone had struck fiercely on his chest twice.

Now on the brink of life and death, Su Mo quickly examined and found it was not an injury he could save, so he tossed him to Hua Shiyi.

"Take him, let’s go."

"Where to?"

"To watch the fun."
