Chapter Five: Eagle's Cry

  "Hmph……" Gu Yinghua was just thinking of where to get a pill of Xuan Yun Yu Ding Dan to deal with Liu Suizhen's excessive bravery, but unexpectedly Liu Suizhen opened his mouth and asked for only three to five thousand wen in labor costs. He couldn't help but snort: "No increase in labor costs, not even one wen!"

  She lowered her voice and said, "You must live a good life!"

  A young couple carrying a stretcher immediately shrank their heads when they heard Gu Yinghua's words. Although this female customer had a stunning appearance, she was too good at spending money. Liu Suizhen risked her life to make a trip for her, but she wouldn't even add three to five thousand wen in labor costs. Was the initial offer of one thousand wen per day too high?

  Everyone sped up their actions, and the strange snake in front of them also followed like a flying arrow, making everyone slightly relieved, but they couldn't help worrying about Liu Suoyun's safety. I'm sure that with Brother Suoyun's good skills, he will be able to turn danger into safety.

  Liu Suiyun ran quite fast, and had already left Xuan Shuijun thirty or forty feet behind. If Gu Yinghua and Huo Qianshu followed him, they would be shocked by Liu Suiyun's footsteps, which was not something a martial artist of the Bao Hu Jing realm could achieve.

  Perhaps it was because he had been injured before, so his footsteps and breathing were perfectly coordinated. Every step he took was accompanied by a perfect breath, suppressing the consumption of physical strength to the lowest point. This is something that even many top-notch players from other realms can't do.

  Xuan Shui Jun would occasionally spit out blood-red snake letters, wanting to spew out the yin fire or toxic liquid from his mouth. Unexpectedly, Liu Sui Yun was always able to take the lead by one step. Even when Xuan Shui Jun increased his speed to the limit, he could only tightly bite onto Liu Sui Yun's heels.

  Xuanshui had found his old arch-nemesis, and recalling the hatred of their past encounter, he frantically writhed his snake body, wanting to crush this detestable enemy beneath his venomous fangs. Slowly but surely, he had already strayed far from Gu Yinghua's troops, believing that with his physical strength and speed, today would bring a sumptuous dinner.

  One man and one snake were running in the mountains for more than a minute, but unexpectedly, the distance between them was still so far, Liu Suiyun had not shaken off Xuan Shuijun, and Xuan Shuijun could only tightly bite onto Liu Suiyun.

  For the injured Liu Suiyun, such a sprint was very unfavorable. No matter how perfectly his footsteps and breathing were coordinated, and no matter how much he suppressed his physical exhaustion to the lowest point, after more than a minute of sprinting, he already had a feeling that he couldn't run anymore.

  His entire chest cavity seemed to be on fire, and sweat had already dripped down from his forehead. He knew that this pursuit could not continue any longer, or else he would definitely end up at a disadvantage.

  He knew the terrible part of this old opponent, in the entire Luoxing Mountain, Xuan Shui Jun was not the strongest demon, but for him at this stage, a head-on battle had no chance of winning. Moreover, Xuan Shui Jun had an astonishing vitality, so he immediately lifted his foot and rushed towards a nearby mountain peak.

  Xuan Shui's movements were not slow either. Just as Liu Suoyun had rushed to the top of the mountain, he was already approaching halfway up the mountain. He could see the scene where this old enemy was struggling powerlessly under his poisonous fangs. Although this little man was very cunning, his combat strength was limited. As long as he reached the top of the mountain, he would be at his mercy.

  Liu Chang's forehead sweat was getting more and more, now he breathed not fire, but a cluster of flames, even his feet were shaking slightly. Liu Suiyun couldn't help but curse: "This damn injury!"

  He glanced at Xuan Shuijun, this demon snake had already approached halfway up the mountain. Even if he didn't say that he would kill him when he reached the top of the mountain, as long as his dark fire or poisonous liquid came, he would definitely die on the spot and couldn't wait to be captured!

  He touched the two-foot-long sword on his back, hesitated for a moment, and finally put his hand down.

  It's not the time to use this yet, Liu Suizhen doesn't regret taking on the heavy responsibility. If he hadn't taken it on, perhaps the entire team would have perished under the snake's fangs. Although Gu Yinghua and Huo Qianshu were just passing acquaintances, those fellow travelers were his own townspeople and good friends - even if they didn't know his true intentions.

  It's just Gu Yinghua and Huo Qianshu, Liu Suizhen can't bear to watch them go to their deaths. A big sister like Gu Yinghua would probably be swallowed whole by Xuan Shuijun in one gulp. As for Huo Qianshu, his martial arts skills are slightly stronger than mine, but when it comes to dealing with Xuan Shuijun, he probably doesn't even have half my abilities.

  Xuanshui's speed was getting faster and faster, even the ferocious eyes and sharp fangs could be seen clearly. Liu Suizhen had found his target, he pushed with one hand, a stone of at least thirty kilograms rolled down the mountain slope.

  Xuan Shui's reaction was swift, and a hissing sound emerged from his mouth as his entire snake body flashed to the left in an unbelievable manner. The massive boulder had already rumbled past his side.

  Xuan Shui Jun proudly swung his snake tail, he had already prepared to spit out the dark fire. His dark fire only needed to touch anyone's body, even if it was a martial artist in the Bone Refining Realm, they would die instantly. Not to mention Liu Sui Yun was just a martial artist in the Tiger Fighting Realm. His beak-like mouth opened wide, and his snake tongue had already come out. He was proud and arrogant until that huge stone weighing at least 60-70 kilograms suddenly crashed onto his waist, sending his entire snake body flying out.

  The six or seven hundred jin millstone was already terrifying, not to mention sliding down the mountain slope for several zhang, and who knows how much energy it had accumulated. Xuan Shuijun only felt stars in his eyes, and his entire waist almost broke. By the time he came back to himself, he had rolled all the way down the mountain with the millstone.

  He raised his head again and saw that hateful face, now proudly looking at himself from the top of the mountain, with a burst of evil fire, but instead, he lifted up his black snake body towards the sky and shouted "Oooo" for half a day. The entire black snake body suddenly turned a scorching red, even the originally swollen middle section of the snake's waist returned to its original flatness.

  "Trouble..."

  Liu Suiyun only felt that his chest was still a ball of fire, and another ball of flames. Fortunately, he was familiar with this area, and used the two giant stones to stop Xuan Shuijun's movements, giving him time to stand in place and catch his breath. However, he also realized that the method of smashing the millstone down was no longer useful.

  This Xuan Shui Jun's hateful place lies in the fact that he not only has all the advantages of a demon snake, but also knows how to learn from the rooster's crowing. As long as this thread of bright red appears on his body, Xuan Shui Jun's strength and power can increase several times, with the effect of repelling thousands of troops. Now throwing down giant rocks is probably useless.

  Xuanshui Jun shouted for a short while, and his spirit was lifted again. He searched and climbed up again, this time with a speed three times faster than before. His two red eyes seemed to be burning lanterns, and he was determined to tear Liu Suoyun, his old opponent, to pieces.

  Liu Suiyun was not ambiguous, first pushing two millstones down, but Xuan Shuijun was also unambiguous and did not dodge, directly smashing open these two huge stones of at least 50-60 kilograms, "hissing" as they climbed to the top of the mountain, only to find that Liu Suiyun had already become a small black dot in his eyes.

  You can't escape! Xuan Shui Jun accelerated his movements, estimating that in just one more minute he could bite this detestable old opponent into two pieces, and then strangle him with his snake waist. Just as he thought of this, however, he discovered that Liu Su Yun had already drilled into the dense forest and was nowhere to be seen.

  Don't think about running, Xuan Shui Jun's snake fangs have already appeared. Perhaps the other demons on Luoxing Mountain can't catch up with Liu Suoyun in this situation, but it is an exception among exceptions.

  He had already remembered the smell of this old enemy, even if he ran out a few miles, Master Xuan Shui could catch up and bite him to death. Therefore, Master Xuan Shui, with his red and black stripes, directly knocked down two large trees and wanted to drill into the forest.

  Liu Suiyun was just twenty or so steps in front of it, and now all that Xuan Shuijun needed to do was spew out a mouthful of yin fire or toxic liquid, and Liu Suiyun would be unable to escape. Thus, he suddenly clenched his fists, using all his strength to take a deep breath, and then let out a loud roar.

  "Ahh……" A sharp eagle cry tore through the entire Luoxing Mountain, and in the midst of the shocking and earth-shaking moment, Xuan Shui Jun had just smashed another large tree. However, upon hearing this eagle cry, he suddenly jolted to life, and his chicken crown snake head directly crashed into a massive boulder. This boulder, which weighed at least 400 jin, was instantly split in two by Xuan Shui Jun's crash, causing him to see stars, yet he didn't hesitate to retreat backwards, his speed now one or two times faster than when he was chasing Liu Suoyun earlier.

  He retreated at least a mile back, before he came to himself again, and then killed his way back once more, reascending the small hill that Liu Su-yun had initially occupied. Then, in anger, he bit through a tree with at least thirty years of history on it, and prepared to pursue into the forest to find the trail of this old enemy, Liu Su-yun.

  It was just that one earth-shaking and heaven-piercing eagle cry still echoing in Xuanshui's mind, he carefully crawled two or three feet towards the forest, then retreated again, hesitated for a short while, finally gathered his courage and re-entered the dense forest.

  Its courage was limited, and when it returned to the boulder that had been split in two by itself, its black snake crown retracted again. Only now did it discover that under the broken boulder was a pool of snake blood, and behind its body was a half-li trail of blood.

  It's just that Xuan Shui Jun's vitality is truly astonishing, even after spitting out so much blood, he only made a loud crowing sound for two quarters of an hour in the original place, and has already recovered eight or nine points of his energy, and started chasing again towards the depths of the dense forest.

  The originally black snake crown has now turned bright red, and Xuan Shui Jun is extremely angry. He must let this extremely hateful old opponent bite to death before being hanged alive, and absolutely not spare this scoundrel who dared to use such a despicable method against himself.

  He had only gone three or four miles when he lost the scent of his old enemy in front of a stream, and after searching both banks for an hour or two, he could find no further trace of him.

  Xuan Shui suddenly found himself rolling on the ground in pain, and before he knew it, his snake head had crashed into a massive boulder weighing several thousand catties.
