Thearrowflewlikelightningtowardsthebeastaccompaniedbytheshriekingofair.
Thepupilsoftheleopardconstricted.Itsensedthedangerofthisarrowanddidnotdaregoheadtoheadwithit.

Itseemedthatafterfailingtocatchitspreytwotimes,theleopardwasstartingtofeelabitdepressed.
YanShangyang’stwoarrowsdidnothititstarget.Hedrewanotherarrowfromthequiveronhisbackandquicklyaimedhisbow.Hecontinuedlookingatthebeastcautiously.Hisfacewasasseriousandfocusedasitcouldbe.
Theauraofthebeaststartedtoexudeoutagainasitsbodygaveoffalight.ItssharpclawscrumbledthegroundbeneathitasitseemedtoprepareforanotherattackonYanShangyang.
Butsuddenly,theleopardseemedtohavefeltsomethingandinstantlyspunaround.ItsbeastlyeyeslookedinanotherdirectionawayfromYanShangyang.
Followingtheleopard’sgaze,aclear,thinfigureappearedsilentlyfromtheshadowsofthetrees.
Thefigurebelongedtoayoutharound14-15yearsold.Longblackhairspreadonhisshoulders,butitcouldnothidethehandsomefaceoftheyoungman,especiallythosebrightyetdeepeyes.Theywerelikethebrightestconstellationsinthenightsky,silentlytwinkling.

Seeingtheleopard’ssuddenmovement,YanShangyanglookedinthatdirectionaswell.
Butwhenhesawthefigure,hecouldnothelpbuthaveafacefullofshock.Heaskedwithasurprise,“Kid,howdidyouescape?”ThepersonwhohadjustjoinedthepartywasnooneelseotherthanSuYi.
Onlyafteralittlepondering,SuYihadmadehisdecision.
ThesepeoplefromBlackFiendSchoolhaddefinitelyencounteredsomehugetrouble.ThoughstrongcultivatorsfromBlackFiendSchoolwerepresent,whenonelookedatthecurrentsituation,youcouldtellthattheywerebarelyabletoprotectthemselves,theyhadnowayofpullingawayfromtheirbattletohelpothers.
Rightnow,atthismoment,itwasnodoubtthebesttimeforrevenge.
Asfavorableasthecurrentsituationis,therewasstilladefinitedanger.ButaccordingtoSuYi,apersonwhodoesnottakerevengewhenpossibleisnogentleman.
Revengeforagentleman,tenyearsistoolongawait,timewaitfornoman!
“Whatacoincidence,wemeetagain!”SuYistaredatYanShangyang.ThoughShangyangmayhaveacultivationlevelofYuanXuanRealm,hewasnotthatstrong.HewasstrongerthanJiChaofromSacredMountain,butheshouldnotbemuchstronger.
BackthenwhenSuYiwasYuanSoulRealmFirstGrade,hecouldalreadygoheadtoheadwithJiChao.NowthathewasalreadyYuanSoulRealmThirdGrade,alongwiththehavingcultivatedthe“HundredTransformationsStep”,SuYiwasconfidentenoughtofightYanShangyang.
“Kid,youwanttodealwithme?”SeeingSuYi’seyes,YanShangyangwasnotstupid.HecouldtellSuYi’smotivewhichwasasclearasday.Thiskidwantedtofinishhimhere.
“Somedebtsonceowedmustbereturned.Nowthereseemstobenoonethatcanprotectyou!”SuYisneeredasheanalyzedthecurrentsituation.
Currently,alltheelitedisciplesfromBlackFiendSchoolweresurroundedandengagedinabattlewiththerestofthebeasts.Eachofthemwasinapatheticstateandcouldbarelystayalive.WherewouldtheyevenfindtheexcessenergyandtimetoprotectYanShangyang?
ThestrongcultivatorsfromBlackFiendSchoolwerealsoquitefarawayandalsooccupiedbythestrongbeasts.
Ifitwasn’tforthecurrentfavorablesituation,SuYiwouldhaveneverdecidedtorevealhimself.
“Hehe,kid,youwanttodealwithmewithyourability?Youareseekingdeath!”YanShangyanglaughedcoldly.Hemayhavefearedtheleopard,butagainstsuchakid,hehadnoworries.TheprevioustimewhenhehadnotmanagedtokillSuYi,healreadyfeltuncomfortable.Hedidnotexpectthekidtoactuallyescape.
“Whowillliveandwhowilldie,onlyaftertryingwillweknow.ButIguessthattheonewhowilldietodaywilldefinitelybeyou!”SuYismiled.Withinhisdeepeyesfilledacoldlightgleamed.
“Sss…”
“Hoot!”
AssoonasSuYifinishedhiswords,therewasaviolentwindwhichscatteredthedustandstonesintheair.Alargesnake,severalmeterslong,appearedbesideSuYi.Itopeneditsgapingredmouthandthenclosedit.Ablood-redtongueflickeredinandoutofitsjaw.

ThebeastbirdandgiantsnakeexudedanintimidatingpresenceandthebloodlustintheireyeswasobviousastheystaredatSuYi.
Tobeasts,humanswerefood.
Especiallycultivatorswhosebodiescontainedamassofenergy.Afterbeastsconsumedthem,theycouldreceivequitetheamountofbenefit.
Butnow,thegiantsnakeandbeastbirdthatwerestaringatSuYi,whoseeyeswereinitiallyfullofbloodlust,nowseemedtohavefeltsomekindofaurawhichmadethemfeelinsecure.
"Kid!ItlookslikeIwouldnotevenhavetomakeamove,youwhodonotknowyourplace!"
YanShangyangsneered.Thiskidwithhisabilitywantedtodealwithhim?Well,nowhedidnotevenhavetodoanything.ThetwobeastsshouldhavealmostreachedtheYuanSpiritRealmcultivation.Hewonderedhowthekidwasgoingtodie.
Atthesametimewhenhewassneering,YanShangyangknewthatthesituationhadbecomeevenmoreserious.
HehadneverplacedSuYiinhiseyes,buthiscurrentsituationwasbecomingworse.

SuYilookedatthecirclingbirdandthegiantsnakebesidehim.Theirauraswerenotweakbutheprobablywouldnotbeabletofightthemback.
“Boom!”Inaninstant,SuYiinitiatedthe“SupremeChaoticYuanTechnique”.
Suddenly,thesnakeandthebirdwhowasstaringatSuYifeltsomethingandtheireyeswerefilledwithshock.Fearformedintheireyesandtheirbodiesstartedtrembling.Theystartedbackingoffslowlyanddidnotdareapproachanyfurther.
