Chapter 818: Chapter 353: The Oppression of Water Venerable! Qian Yi’s Sword Intent! (Part 3)
Isn’t this the ’script’ I’ve always loved about life’s ups and downs?
But…
Su Ping glanced at Old Sha, who had arrived at some unknown time.
Under the moonlight, Old Sha’s hair, like the branches of an old tree, seemed weary and desolate.
What did Old Sha, who once gained this so-called ’script’ of ups and downs, pay for it?
Su Ping didn’t know, but he understood that acquiring such a script wasn’t easy.
Because what is required is a fresh, vibrant life, and an introspection of one’s inner world.
“Hiss…”
A sound emitted from Little Flame, seemingly having accepted its fate, as it couldn’t find a reason for Su Ping to persist.
However,
“Ooh…” Old Sha’s enormous head gently rubbed against Su Ping, then its gaze became resolute, looking toward the figure in the water.
At this moment, Old Sha didn’t know whether it was looking at this so-called Water Venerate who was pressuring its young master, or at its once unattainable father, the Green Cliff Sky Wolf King, confirming that after it could not awaken the Sky Wolf Bloodline, disgustedly biting to death its ordinary Forest Wolf mother.
As a youth, it didn’t have the courage to stand in front of its mother, and was driven away from the Great Prairie like a stray dog to fend for itself. But this time, in this moment, Old Sha’s steps were resolute.
It slowly stood in front of Su Ping, silently facing this seemingly unbeatable enemy.
At this moment, it wasn’t just it; a chorus of voices arose.
“Gaga!” Little Crow Ya Ya had, at some point, appeared above Su Ping’s head, seemingly comforting Little Flame and perhaps reminding Su Ping of the promise made on New Year’s Eve.
The Life Ancient Tree’s branches spread out, without a word, likewise did many plant-based Pet Beasts, even the Dragon-Patterned Bamboo that Su Ping previously dismissed, came along, encircling the shore of Heart of Water.
As for Qian Yi, at some point, it had donned the Five Elements Paper Diagram cloak, with a sword box condensing behind and a sword in hand, its cheek marked with a clear red heart symbol.
In the next moment, a summoning light appeared, Xiao Qing’s form and several of its clones also appeared.
Apart from Feifei, who was frantically calling Ray Saint through the Soul Contract, almost all Ten Thousand Spirit Heart Pet Beasts with high affinity appeared.
Su Ping, after a long exhale, finally spoke:
“Senior, sorry, I can’t fulfill this request! Little Flame will not be handed over to you no matter what!”
“Little one, do you really think these ants like you can stop me?”
Water Venerate spoke disdainfully.
But at this moment, Su Ping suddenly smiled:
“I’d like to try.”
“Humans, such foolish ants! But I’m curious to know, what’s your reason for doing this?”
Jiao Ji asked indifferently.
“The reason is simple, Water Venerate, your power hasn’t fully recovered, has it?”
“Haha, foolish ants, how laughable, you really have no idea what the legends told among humans signify!” Water Venerate chuckled:
“If that’s your reason, then let me tell you, you’re overthinking.”
Su Ping paused and continued:
“Of course, the fact that Water Venerate hasn’t fully recovered is beyond my imagination, but since you’re using special means to block Ray Saint’s perception, does that not imply that if Ray Saint were here, you wouldn’t be able to do anything to me? Your strength is limited against Spirit Saint Level, implying it’s between Spirit Saint and Emperor Level?”
“Just because your higher Realm allows for more complicated means, you can block Ray Saint’s perception?”
This remark left Jiao Ji slightly confused.
Su Ping continued:
“Thus, you have spent a considerable effort interfering with Ray Saint’s perception, preventing them from sensing what’s happening here, which must have cost a lot of power.
Secondly, although my Pet Beasts might seem like mere ants in your eyes, their strength is nonetheless decent, they trust that I won’t abandon any one of them, shouldn’t I believe in them too?
Moreover, I have a trump card.
Most importantly, Water Venerate, with so many little fellows watching, if I hand one of us to you, it’d break their hearts and I’d lose face, wouldn’t it?”
“One of us?”
At this moment, Water Venerate did not rush to act but smiled warmly after mulling over these words:
“That means, if I were to find you privately, you might just hand over the Fire Venerate’s Split God to me?”
“Perhaps, why not wait and try again, Water Venerate?”
Su Ping grinned, his eyes icy cold without a trace of laughter.
“Forget it, as you said, you hold significant status in the human realm, what if another powerful protector emerges, better to deal with you first!”
Jiao Ji laughed lightly, and in the next instant, the air grew incredibly cold, her arms lifted like white jade, forming a massive frost-condensed water python that suddenly lunged toward Su Ping.
Su Ping’s breath instantly became rapid.
“Old Sha! Qian Yi! Xiao Qing!”
Su Ping called out.
Xiao Qing’s clones spread in all directions, Old Sha shone with brilliance, Heart of the Sun fully activated, while Qian Yi had already initiated the Five Elements cycle, holding a long sword, standing in front of Su Ping as the main attacker.
Jiao Ji watched calmly, on the shore, countless plant-based Pet Beasts, particularly the Life Ancient Tree, its branches spreading and moving toward her body.
Yet Jiao Ji didn’t express any surprise, looking on with interest, responding quickly:
“This human isn’t your contract master, why put your lives on the line? You low-level ants, should I wish, can annihilate you with a mere gesture.”
No one paid attention, all of Heart of Myriad Spirits’ Pet Beasts were working in harmony as if they had practiced countless times.
Unfortunately, as the energy and foliage reached Jiao Ji, they were instantly frozen and dissipated within Heart of Water, unable to move an inch closer.
Even in the next moment, endless frost spread, turning water streams into giant pythons, tangling with all plant-based Pet Beasts and the flying Toothie in the sky.
Jiao Ji finally moved her tail slowly, approaching Heart of Water’s shore, stepping ashore.
Standing in front of her were only Xiao Qing by Su Ping’s side, Old Sha, and Qian Yi blocking the shore.
Terrifying energy fluctuations erupted, drawing Jiao Ji’s gaze particularly to Xiao Qing:
“Interesting, this Clone Skill Technique… quite intriguing…”
No doubt, this infuriated Qian Yi standing upfront:
“Uwah! (Damn it…don’t underestimate me…)”
Qian Yi’s fury unleashed a burst of Five Elements Energy, as it slightly bent its waist, hand gripping the hilt at its waist.
The poker face seemed to have turned exceptionally serious:
“Uwah! (I… can protect… this family too, because a Swordsman’s belief…is to protect comrades!)”
“Uwah! (This is my… way of the Swordsman!)”
In an instant, a clear, crisp sword’s hum, echoing throughout Heart of Myriad Spirits, erupted from Qian Yi!
A terrifying, sharp Sword Qi expanded outward, centered on Qian Yi.
At this moment, even Water Venerate couldn’t help but look at Qian Yi.
Meanwhile, Su Ping suddenly realized something.
Had Qian Yi finally comprehended the basic Super-Rank Skill, Sword Intent, that Su Ping had been longing for since its evolution?
