Invincible Snake Emperor

Though the two were far apart, Tu Xiao’an’s Consciousness Power had everything under control.

His demonic, bright eyes narrowed slightly. He could now decide life and death from miles away. Having become a Snake Spirit-level existence, Tu Xiao’an’s power was unimaginable.

In the dim alley, a roar echoed in the hook-nosed man’s ears, as if a sharp needle had pierced him. His entire body went numb. A powerful and frigid aura instantly locked onto him, making it difficult to even move.

Both he and the mosquitoes in the air were trapped in a massive, formless palm.

’So strong...’

The hook-nosed man was beyond shocked. To think that a mere town would be hiding such a terrifying master.

He couldn’t see his opponent or hear their voice, yet their oppressive might surged toward him like a torrential river.

He had no idea where his opponent was, and this fear of the unknown was the most tormenting of all.

Suddenly, the hook-nosed man gasped sharply. A series of popping sounds echoed through the air. He looked up, his blood running cold.

One by one, the hundred white mosquitoes in the air self-destructed, their bodies raining down.

In just a moment, the hundred white mosquitoes he had painstakingly raised were completely wiped out, leaving a carpet of corpses on the ground.

’How could this be?’

His eyes nearly popped out of his head. Suddenly, he remembered the most crucial detail and looked toward the large, silver-white mosquito.

The large, silver-white mosquito was closest to him, but it was now letting out a shrill, bizarre cry, as if in terrible pain, as though something were crushing its body.

’Oh no, it can’t die!’

The hook-nosed man’s heart ached for the dead white mosquitoes, but he could accept the loss. If this large, silver-white mosquito also self-destructed, it would be like losing half his life.

’Flee...’

An astonishing fluctuation of Energy erupted from the hook-nosed man’s body, significantly loosening the force binding him. He shot a hand into the air, snatched the large, silver-white mosquito, and immediately fled.

The figure vanished from the alley, leaving only the corpses of the white mosquitoes on the ground.

A short while later, a handsome youth appeared. He glanced at the mosquito corpses on the ground, unmoved, and looked off in a certain direction. ’In Bai Town, under my watch, do you really think you can escape?’

’Another Human Awakened, and not a very impressive one at that.’

Although he had broken free from Tu Xiao’an’s Consciousness Power, that was the most he could manage.

Tu Xiao’an’s gaze was profound. He had already locked onto the Human Awakener’s aura. ’Daring to ruin my, the Snake King’s, Snake King Festival... you must be tired of living.’

WHOOSH...

The handsome youth vanished on the spot.

Night had long since fallen. Bai Town had been in turmoil all day. What began with a festive, celebratory atmosphere was now shrouded in panic by nightfall.

Now, a black shadow zipped rapidly across the rooftops, from house to house, finally arriving at the deserted foot of She Mountain.

He figured no one would come here so late at night.

The black shadow appeared atop Daqing Mountain of She Mountain. The hook-nosed man’s face was pale, a look of lingering fear etched upon it.

’I should have lost him, right?’

He let out a heavy breath of Muddy Qi and smiled bitterly to himself. He never would have imagined that he’d run into a hidden master in this small town—one who could kill without a trace.

If he had known a hidden master was here, he never would have chosen this place to commit his crimes.

Now, it seemed he had provoked the local powerhouse.

Never mind continuing his mission—now he was being hunted. He had stopped here, which was a decent strategic location.

For one, it was well-hidden. For another, the mountain forest was right behind him. If things went south, he could slip into the mountains and hide.

At that moment, a mountain wind swept down recklessly, carrying a hint of gloom and a cold chill. It was like someone formlessly whispering in your ear, making your hair stand on end.

The hook-nosed man opened his hand. The ten-centimeter, silver-white mosquito slowly flew up, letting out a few bizarre cries.

Seeing the large mosquito was unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. That had been a close call. If this large mosquito weren’t an Awakened Creature with exceptionally tenacious Life Force, it probably would have self-destructed on the spot just like the white ones.

’This is a problem. Not only did I provoke an unknown master, but all my white mosquitoes are dead.’

The hook-nosed man stood atop a large green rock, his expression grim.

Relying on this single silver-white mosquito, he had no way of quickly obtaining Blood Essence to complete his mission and return.

After some thought, he grew angrier and angrier, feeling the sting of failure, like someone who’d tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice used as bait. Just then, his ears twitched. Carried on the light mountain breeze, the sound of footsteps—neither heavy nor light, like a casual stroll—rose from the foot of the mountain.

The hook-nosed man’s gaze snapped in that direction, a storm raging in his heart. ’He caught up?’

Under the soft moonlight, a handsome youth with a faint smile on his lips walked to the edge of the large green rock.

He was smiling faintly, dressed in white robes. His handsome, elegant face held a trace of demonic charm under the moonlight, and his eyes seemed both cold and placid, yet also held a lofty, untamable arrogance.

The hook-nosed man was stunned the moment he saw the newcomer. ’So young! The master who can kill without a trace... is him?’

The handsome youth with the demonic charm walked closer, raised his head slightly, and looked up at him. ”Roll down from that large green rock,” he said coolly. ”A rock like this isn’t for an outsider like you to stand on.”

”Who are you?” the hook-nosed man asked in a grave voice.

Tu Xiao’an also carefully sized up this Human Awakened. He was in his thirties and plain-looking, faintly emitting fluctuations of Energy.

Then, he noticed the large, silver-white mosquito hovering beside the man. In the moonlight, its whole body shimmered with a luster. It wasn’t ugly or disgusting; in fact, it was rather stunning.

’How interesting. An awakened mosquito, Level 10 or higher.’

The hook-nosed man saw that the other party had ignored his question and was instead staring at the large mosquito with a look of great interest.

’He’s ignoring me. Blatantly looking down on me.’

Normally, the hook-nosed man would never tolerate such disrespect. But his opponent had already killed a hundred of his mosquitoes formlessly, a technique that made him extremely wary.

Tu Xiao’an stared intently at the silver-white mosquito as if trying to see through it. His demonic eyes narrowed, and space itself seemed to ripple.

The hovering mosquito’s body went rigid, and it immediately let out a bizarre cry.

”Come here,”

Tu Xiao’an uttered coolly. The words had barely left his lips when the large mosquito bizarrely floated toward him.

The hook-nosed man’s face fell. It was too late to stop it. He felt an even deeper sense of dread toward this youth who was suffused with an Evil Qi.

Just like that, the ten-centimeter silver-white mosquito floated lightly before Tu Xiao’an’s eyes. It could only cry out bizarrely, its body bound by a powerful Consciousness Power.

”Insight.”

”DING... Mutated Silver Mosquito, an Awakened Creature. Level 12. Capable of sucking human Essence Blood.”
