Chapter 16: A Myriad of Rapid Changes

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yang Yi was frightened. He had never seen a demonic beast up close before.

It was a Bone Refining beast, and he could not help but break out in a cold sweat.

Zhang Jiu wanted to carry his grandson on his back.

However, Zhang Xiaohu’s expression was very painful, and he kept on struggling.

The two of them were stuck here for a while.

The commotion attracted the fire-biting tiger’s attention.

The fire-biting tiger stepped on the grass.

It approached them slowly..

“Let’s go together!”

Yang Yi could not bear to abandon them. He decided to help Zhang Jiu.

With his current strength, even if he could not beat this Bone Refining fire-biting tiger, he had the confidence to escape.

However, he could not waste any more time. He had to do it as soon as possible.

He flipped Zhang Xiaohu over and was shocked to find Zhang Xiaohu crying!

He was in pain and his facial features were twisted into a mess, looking extremely ferocious.

His bloodshot eyes were as wide as an ox’s! Yang Yi knew that this was a gaze filled with hatred.

Zhang Xiaohu hated his grandfather and forced him to drink the dew.

“Young hero Yang, leave quickly. This is all my fault. I caused Huzi’s death. Now, I shall accompany my grandson into the tiger’s mouth. This is karma.”

Zhang Jiu seemed to have aged a few years. Looking at Zhang Xiaohu’s eyes, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

He knew the realm of Yang Yi’s cultivation base. How could a Blood Refining martial artist deal with a Bone Refining demonic beast?

Moreover, Zhang Xiaohu’s life was in danger. He was filled with resentment. He did not feel like struggling anymore.

The sound of the tiger’s breath approached!

Yang Yi suddenly raised his head.

The fire-biting tiger was only 10 steps away from him!

At this distance, the fire-biting tiger could reach them with a single pounce.

Yang Yi instinctively retreated, and the thought of escaping arose in his mind.

He did his best. Even though Zhang Xiaohu was only a child, when a child became stubborn, it was no easier to persuade him than an adult!

“Please, go. If you have the heart for it, let my poor wife know what happened to me when you pass by Wumei Village.”

Zhang Jiu waved his hand at Yang Yi and then sat in front of Zhang Xiaohu. He removed his bow and arrows and placed them beside himself. He faced the fire-biting tiger and did not resist.

Yang Yi nodded and left.

However, just as he took a few steps forward, the fire-biting tiger lost interest in them and jumped in another direction.

This scene made Yang Yi feel as if he was in a dream.

“Maybe it’s because it has a prey in its mouth already.”

Yang Yi thought of the three-tailed seductive fox in the fire-biting tiger’s mouth.

After confirming that the crisis was over, he turned around. “Uncle Zhang, you’ve returned from death’s door once now. Hurry up and leave with your grandson.”

“Sigh, Alright!”

Zhang Jiu was stunned for a moment before he went to carry Zhang Xiaohu.

This time, he succeeded. Zhang Xiaohu was completely unconscious.

Rustle.

At this moment, a scaled python slithered out of the grass!

Its length was unknown, but its girth was as thick as a person’s embrace!

“Hiss!”

Yang Yi’s nerves immediately tensed up.

This scaled python gave off an oppressive feeling that was even stronger than fire-biting tiger!

It was definitely at the Bone Refining stage.

“Why are there demonic beasts in Sky Light Mountain?”

Zhang Jiu had hunted for his entire life, but he had never encountered such a strange incident.

“Split up and run!”

Yang Yi scattered a handful of poison powder. Then, he and Zhang Jiu fled in the opposite direction.

He jumped five or six steps and looked behind him from the corner of his eye.

He saw the scaled python rushing toward the direction in which Zhang Jiu escaped like an arrow leaving a bow.

This time, the beast did not have any prey in his mouth. Naturally, it would not give up so easily.

“Uncle Zhang is familiar with the terrain. He will definitely be able to shake off the demonic beasts and turn the situation around!” Yang Yi comforted himself and ran like the wind.

Eventually, there was no movement behind him.

He made a sudden stop and looked behind himself.

“I can’t defeat a Bone Refining demonic beast now, but I can protect myself. However, that pair of grandfather and grandson probably won’t be able to escape.” Yang Yi made a judgment based on reality.

The scaled python was not at the Strength Entry realm yet. Even if it was strong, it would not be able to kill him in an instant. Perhaps he could turn back and help Zhang Jiu escape by distracting the beast from the side.

After all, there were two of them. If he could save them, Yang Yi would not mind taking action. If he really could not, he would retreat. He had many tricks up his sleeves, and he was confident that he could escape unscathed.

The tip of his toes swiftly swept across the soft meadow.

After what seemed like hours, Yang Yi saw that Zhang Jiu was forced into a corner.

Even so, he planted himself in front of Zhang Xiaohu. His bow was raised as he made a final effort to resist.

The scaled python was not in a hurry to attack. It seemed to enjoy the pleasure of exhausting its prey in front of its eyes.

“Hey, take this!”

Yang Yi threw out all the beast luring pills in his bag.

The beast luring pills contained ingredients that attracted demonic beasts. The attention of the scaled python was attracted, but only for an instant.

For a scaled python of this size, even if the beast luring pills could attract its attention, they would be tasteless.

Soon enough, it turned its attention back to Zhang Jiu.

At this moment, Yang Yi had already circled around it. He dragged the dazed Zhang Jiu to the side.

He noticed the gaze of the scaled python and immediately threw a punch!

This punch contained the full might of the Mountain-hugging Fist.

Even the scaled python was stunned for a moment by this. As Yang Yi’s punch sailed toward the python, it suddenly stopped in midair.

Yang Yi spread his fingers and released a large amount of purple poison powder.

“Run! Now!” Yang Yi shouted at Zhang Jiu.

The poison powder was obscuring the scaled python’s sight. It was a good opportunity for them to escape.

Zhang Jiu carried Zhang Xiaohu on his back and ran.

There was a whistle in the air.

A python tail suddenly swung out from the nearby bushes. The python tail smashed heavily onto a tree trunk, breaking the tree in half.

Zhang Jiu’s eyes widened when he saw this. He staggered and almost fell. He would have been the one who was split in two if the tree had not been in the way.

“Young hero Yang!”

His eyes darted around and saw that Yang Yi had already taken dozens of steps and escaped.

Yang Yi was extremely fast, and he did not turn back!

Yang Yi had already done everything he could, and the rest was up to fate.

Whoosh!

The python tail swept again.

This time, Yang Yi did not plan to save them.

At this moment, a green light shot past Yang Yi’s shoulder and hit the poisoned scaled python.

The sweep of its tail missed because of this and hit a rock.

“It’s here! It gave us a hard time looking for it!”

Three figures appeared at the same time, bypassing Yang Yi and attacking the scaled python behind him.

They were all wearing Qixia sect uniforms. One of them was in purple and the other two were in blue.

Yang Yi had seen the purple-clothed leader before. It was Zhuang Chenglu who had tricked him into buying the nine-thorns flower.

Zhuang Chenglu took the lead and caught the sailing bamboo cane from the air. Then, she pushed out her palm and scattered the poison. She landed and engaged the scaled python.

With a flash of light, the scaled python was hit several times. It wailed from the pain.

Zhuang Chenglu was an inner disciple at the Spiral Force realm. It was not difficult for her to deal with a Bone Refining scaled python.

Moreover, there were two Bone Refining cultivators beside her. It could not escape even if it wanted to.

“You wretched beast, you got away once, but you won’t get away again!”

Zhuang Chenglu smiled, and her jade-like fingers successfully hit the vital point on the scaled python’s head. The beast was instantly stunned and collapsed to the ground.

One of the blue-robed disciples seized the opportunity to come forward and end its life with a sword.
