Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 427: Chapter 423: The Bull Demon King Repels the Enemy in One Move

”Let it slide? I paid to hire you, so you’ll do as I say. No more nonsense. Chasing them off is already me being polite. Killing people here in the Yaoling Mountain Range isn’t a crime.”

The law and the police have no jurisdiction here.

For a moment, the Wolf Fang Captain was in a bind. But he saw Young Master Qin’s face had darkened. After all, this was the man paying the bills, a person of extraordinary status who could not be offended. The captain could only wave a hand at his team members.

In an instant, the twelve experts on the team swarmed forward, tightly encircling Tu Xiao’an and the Bull Demon King. They stood ready, their killing intent surging.

”You two,” the Wolf Fang Captain began, his tone flat. ”I’m sure you heard Young Master Qin. I’ll have to ask you to move along.”

”And if we don’t want to move along?” Tu Xiao’an replied, his voice cold and flat.

”Then we’ll have to be impolite,” the Wolf Fang Captain replied. He was no saint. This was the Yaoling Mountain Range, a lawless place where killing someone was perfectly normal.

”Fine by me,” Tu Xiao’an said with a casual shrug, looking completely at ease.

”Hmph. Attack!”

Suddenly, twelve sharp and powerful auras erupted, surging toward the heavens before crashing down on Tu Xiao’an and the Bull Demon King like a tidal wave. The very space around them seemed to twist in turmoil.

Under the pressure of twelve such sharp auras, an ordinary person would likely suffocate, unable to breathe. Even the strong-willed would feel their hearts clench with fear.

Each of these twelve auras was saturated with killing intent—an intent nurtured by blood.

Unfortunately for them, they had picked the wrong opponents. Both the formation and the imposing pressure only earned them a strange look from Tu Xiao’an and the Bull Demon King, as if they were watching a troupe of clowns perform.

’Who are they trying to scare? If it were the auras of twelve Rank Three Powerhouses, then maybe we’d be talking.’

”Tsk, tsk... You think this old bull is just for show?”

After a nod from Tu Xiao’an, the Bull Demon King stomped a foot heavily onto the ground. A violent surge of Energy erupted from his entire body. Immediately, a shockwave blasted out in all directions, accompanied by a continuous series of deafening booms.

AH... AH... AH...

In that instant, all twelve experts were sent flying. They crashed to the ground, each one spitting out a mouthful of blood. One by one, they propped themselves up, staring at the chubby figure with expressions of utter disbelief.

’This fatty is that strong?’

’Damn, he’s definitely at the Rank Three Creature Level! We really kicked the hornet’s nest this time.’

The Wolf Fang Captain was even more aghast. He knew the strength of his team members better than anyone. For them to be defeated by a single explosive move... this was just too much power.

He’d figured these two were not to be trifled with, but he never imagined they’d be this powerful.

It was shocking. Even the old man’s gaze fell heavily upon the Bull Demon King, his expression turning thoughtful and wary.

The Wolf Fang Team was, for all intents and purposes, completely wiped out. It wouldn’t change the outcome whether their captain joined the fight or not.

Tu Xiao’an gave them a moment to get back on their feet. He swept a cold glance over them, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop. ”Scram if you don’t want to die,” he said flatly. ”Otherwise, forget eating roast suckling pig—I’ll turn you *into* roast suckling pigs. Utterly clueless.”

Hearing this, the Bull Demon King was overjoyed. ”Oh, yes! Yes! Roasted human meat sounds good. This old bull would like that!”

”Hey! Who do you think you’re scaring? Do you know who I am?!” Young Master Qin, fearless in his ignorance, started shouting.

An incomparably cold glint flashed in Tu Xiao’an’s bewitching dark eyes. He shot a light glance at him, and Young Master Qin’s entire body trembled as if he’d been plunged into a bottomless, dark abyss.

’What terrifying eyes.’ Young Master Qin had almost pissed his pants. Secretly astonished, he didn’t dare look at Tu Xiao’an again. He could only glare at the Wolf Fang Captain and say, ”How are you all so useless? The other guy hasn’t even made a move and you’re all on the ground! And you usually brag to me about how amazing you are!”

The Wolf Fang Captain forced a bitter smile. ”Young Master Qin, please, say no more. We should leave, quickly.”

”Leave? What do you mean, leave? You’re really this scared? So useless!” He was still grumbling when the elder beside him spoke. ”Young Master, we’re leaving. The master gave clear orders: the mission is what’s important. We are not to cause trouble.”

”Elder Liu, you too...?”

The elder gave him a deep look and secretly shook his head.

Young Master Qin shot Tu Xiao’an a vicious glare. ”Hmph. Consider yourselves lucky. We’re leaving.”

Before coming to the Yaoling Mountain Range, his father had repeatedly ordered him to listen to the elder’s words and not to be rebellious.

He knew that if he wanted to survive in the Yaoling Mountain Range, he had to rely on his father’s personal bodyguard.

Though he was furious inside, he could only swallow his anger. Besides, that young man’s eyes were too terrifying. Looking at him felt like being targeted by a venomous snake.

The group departed in a dejected manner. The members of the Wolf Fang Team let out a heavy sigh of relief. That one move from the fatty was no small matter.

If not for their impressive constitutions, they would have likely been hospitalized for a month or more.

”Elder Liu, what kind of hunting team did you find? They’re all useless trash! All show and no go,” the Mixed Blood, Young Master Qin, complained as they walked.

Elder Liu said, ”Young Master, keep your voice down. The Wolf Fang Team is not trash. They’re one of the top hunting groups in Jiangnan City and are extremely familiar with the Yaoling Mountain Range. Without their help, we won’t be able to reach our destination.”

”But just now, they...?” He wanted to say they were too useless but held his tongue. Instead, he asked, ”Was that fatty really that strong?”

”Very. He is a Rank Three powerhouse.”

Young Master Qin said resentfully, ”Elder Liu, you’re also Rank Three. Why did you back down?”

”He is a Rank Three Demon Spirit.”

”What?” Young Master Qin was instantly stunned. So that fatty wasn’t human, but a Demon that had achieved Transformation.

Rank Three Creatures, Rank Three Demon Spirits... Generally speaking, it’s widely acknowledged that at the same Realm, a Demon Spirit is actually a bit stronger.

”Young Master, if you hadn’t left just now, you would have truly brought disaster upon us. Leaving aside whether this old man could even beat that Rank Three Demon Spirit, what if I couldn’t? I’m afraid we would all have been finished. Your status is precious; what would we do if anything happened to you?”

”Besides, the terrifying one isn’t the Rank Three Demon Spirit. It’s that young man. Even this old man can’t see through him.”

Young Master Qin pursed his lips. ”Don’t tell me that pretty boy is also a Rank Three Demon Spirit?”

”I’m not sure. In any case, staying far away from them is definitely the right choice.” Elder Liu continued, ”This time, for the Old Master’s birthday, we absolutely must bring back the Monkey Wine. Furthermore, the Master’s intention was also for you to gain some experience, Young Master. If we encounter any Rank Two Early Stage Spirit Monsters, you should feel free to take them on. Don’t be afraid.”

Young Master Qin asked, ”Is that Monkey Wine really so good? My grandfather has been thinking about it for decades.”

”Young Master, if you were to take a single sip of Monkey Wine, your strength would increase dramatically, and you might even advance a minor realm. The Old Master has been longing for it because the Monkey Wine can help with his illness.”

”So the Monkey Wine is that magical! In that case, I absolutely must have it.” The phrase ’advance a minor realm’ had certainly caught his attention.

Elder Liu said, ”When we actually get there, you just need to hide, Young Master. Leave the rest to this old man and the Wolf Fang Team.”

”I know, I know. It’s because I’m not strong enough. If only I were a Rank Three Creature...”

”You will be, sooner or later, Young Master.”
