Supreme Warrior in the City

Before, when Su Yang and the others were in Capital City, they were ambushed once by people deceived by the Second Elder.

Although those people were Su Yang’s enemies, their strength was quite weak. Not to mention that Su Yang and the others were with Qi Zhishan at that time, even if Qi Zhishan and Su Yang were not there, Lv Donglin alone would have been enough to kill those people. So, those people coming to ambush Su Yang was simply sending themselves to death.

At that time, those people said they were tricked by the Second Elder, who told them he and Lv Donglin were going to the Martial Champion Zhang Family to compete, so they thought Su Yang would definitely be injured and wanted to take the opportunity to kill him during his injuries.

But the key issue was that Su Yang and the others were not going to the Zhang Family for a duel. The one competing was Qi Zhishan, not Su Yang and Lv Donglin. That duel had nothing to do with them, and it was impossible for them to get injured!

Since the Second Elder knew they were going to the Zhang Family, he should also know why they were going there. After all, the Second Elder is currently with the Jade-faced Judge, who is definitely aware of Qi Zhishan going to challenge the Martial Champion, so the Second Elder should be able to know Su Yang’s purpose of going there.

Under such circumstances, the Second Elder deceived these people into ambushing Su Yang and his companions, truly causing them to send themselves to death.

The Second Elder had no grudges against these people, and among them, quite a few were previously very respectful to the Medicine Sect and had good relationships. There was no reason for the Second Elder to harm them.

These people were still Su Yang’s enemies, which means they were on the same side as the Second Elder. Rationally speaking, the Second Elder should be winning these people over to deal with Su Yang together.

Even if these people’s strength was too weak and the Second Elder didn’t take them seriously, there was no need to send them to death. Doing so would only help Su Yang eliminate some potential enemies, and the Second Elder surely wouldn’t do such a thing.

Yet, this happened as it did, and during this time, Su Yang was constantly puzzled by this incident.

Plus the current events, Su Yang suddenly felt a sense of unease. He thought those ambushing him were probably not arranged by the Second Elder, but by the Jade-faced Judge.

The Jade-faced Judge is highly intelligent, and everything he does has deep meaning. The previous ambush incident definitely has some inner connection with the current events.

Su Yang and Lv Donglin were certainly coming to Yan Gui City, but nobody knew when they would arrive here. How did the Entwining Ghost King happen to be there so coincidentally, surrounding Su Yang and Lv Donglin just as they reached the city?

Moreover, Su Yang and his companions hid in this forest, where Qi Xuan personally wrapped things up behind. Logically, unless the Jade-faced Judge personally appeared, others should not be able to track them.

Yet, the opponent still found them within such a short time and went straight to their hiding place, which made Su Yang suspicious of whether the opponent could really track their location.

The key question is, how did the opponent track their location? How did they accomplish this?

Thinking about the connection between these two events, Su Yang suddenly had an insight. He remembered that during the previous ambush, one person was like an octopus, spraying out a large cloud of black mist.

At that time, Su Yang thought the black mist might be corrosive and was a bit worried. However, when the black mist landed on him, there was no sensation at all, just like raindrops falling on one’s body, extremely strange.

Now that he thinks about it, Su Yang realized something might be clear. Could it be that this black mist is the main reason the Jade-faced Judge could track them?

Su Yang’s cultivation in the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book included some tracking techniques. Among them were techniques that leave marks on someone, making them unable to hide, a secret technique. These marks are imperceptible to ordinary people and are considered very mystical in tracking.

Now Su Yang suspects that the black mist at that time might indeed be such marks used for tracking people.

If this is true, then everything can be explained.

Understanding this, a new thought suddenly rose in Su Yang’s heart. He then looked towards Qi Xuan and whispered, ”Uncle Qi, let’s prepare to break out!”

Qi Xuan and Lv Donglin didn’t know why Su Yang was in a daze earlier, but it wasn’t the time to talk about it now.

”Deng An, you’ll be responsible for opening the path in the front; I’ll protect the Young Master and Su Alliance Leader from behind. Remember, don’t get caught up in fighting, focus on escaping, got it?” Qi Xuan said sternly.

”Ah, this is too frustrating. So many people, yet I can’t chop; why do I even have this axe?” Deng An said, feeling stifled.

”Stop yammering!” Qi Xuan glared at him, ”Don’t mess around, otherwise, if anything happens to the Young Master, how will you explain it to the Lord!”

Deng An immediately calmed down, pursed his lips, ”Alright, I’ll listen to you, let’s rush out!”

Qi Xuan nodded, and Deng An wielded his axe, rushing towards the entrance. Before he ran out, he suddenly halted, with Qi Xuan sternly shouting behind him, ”Watch out!”

As soon as the words were spoken, a stench came from the cave entrance. Before everyone could react, a gigantic snakehead charged through the cave entrance, opening its bloody mouth to bite towards Deng An.

That snakehead was enormous; when the bloody mouth opened, it seemed capable of swallowing a whole cow. Deng An was burly but appeared rather slender in the face of this bloody mouth.

But Deng An was tough, raising his axe and charged forward, swinging it down fiercely.

The snakehead swung aside, dodging Deng An’s axe, enveloping Deng An within its bloody mouth directly.

”Uncle Deng!” Lv Donglin cried out in alarm.

At this moment, sounds of chopping came from the snakehead, the giant snake shook its closed mouth a few times, finally unable to sustain it, spat Deng An out directly.

Deng An was unharmed, but the giant snake’s teeth were chopped down quite a few, bleeding profusely as it retreated.

”Where are you running!” Deng An shouted, preparing to charge out but was held back by Qi Xuan.

”Don’t go out!” Qi Xuan frowned deeply and said solemnly, ”It’s the Zodiac Ghost King under Jade-faced Judge, not ordinary people, don’t rush recklessly!”

”Zodiac Ghost King?” Su Yang said in surprise, ”There’s a Zodiac Ghost King under Jade-faced Judge? How many Ghost Kings does he have? How large is his power?”

Qi Xuan shook his head and said solemnly, ”It’s not a single Zodiac Ghost King, but twelve Zodiac Ghost Kings!”
