Primordial Blood Throne Vol 4 Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Flying Snake (1)

Early in the morning, Su Chen walked out of his room and found Night Demon sitting not too far away, her hands cupped around her chin .

Su Chen walked over to her and smiled . “What? Are you still unhappy with me?”

Night Demon rolled her eyes at him and turned around, ignoring him .

“Alright, alright, it’s because I had to do something important . Also, you’re a girl; doesn’t it give off a bad image if you constantly stay at my place?”

Night Demon continued to look the other way and ignore him .

Su Chen pulled out a pouch of jerky . “Here, for you . ”

Night Demon glared at him . “What? You want to bribe me with just a single pouch of jerky?”

Su Chen slowly pulled out another pouch .

Night Demon stared at the pouch of jerky, then at Su Chen, and then held out three fingers . “At least three . ”

Su Chen didn’t hesitate to add on another one . Night Demon immediately grabbed them from him . “I’ll forgive you for today . ”

“It seems like three pouches of jerky is only enough to buy off a day of your anger . ”

“Fine, then two days . ”

“Alright, alright, you win . Happy?” Su Chen said helplessly .

The two of them looked at each other, then burst out in laughter .

She began to chow down on the jerky .

As she ate, Night Demon asked with her mouth full, “Hey, what were you researching yesterday?”

“Why do you want to know?”

Night Demon rolled her eyes . “You were very eager to answer when Zhu Xianyao asked . ”

“Alright then . Yesterday I was mostly researching high-level application and conversion of soul-type Origin Substances, as well as the effects of bringing it to a higher energy level . I was also inspired by Kapius and examined its interactions with a metal surface……”

Night Demon raised her hands in mock surrender . “On second thought, that’s good enough . ”

Su Chen shrugged .

Night Demon said dispiritedly as she placed her head in her hands, “Say, don’t you think that I’m completely useless?”

“Not at all,” Su Chen laughed along . “You’re pretty good . ”

“Don’t patronize me,” Night Demon said slowly . “Actually, I know that I’m pretty useless . My strength is average and I don’t think before I speak . I get tricked by people all the time and I am very dumb . I’m not even a good assassin . I’ve even changed profession and become just a messenger . The only reason you chose me this whole time as your messenger is probably because you also know that I’m useless . ”

Huh, it seemed that even the silliest person would have moments of insight .

Su Chen cleared his throat . “Don’t say that . You’re kind and cute . You’re a very good girl . I like you a lot . ”

“But they say that only a woman who isn’t smart, pretty, or warm and has no other points worth praising gets called cute . ”

Su Chen grew angry . “Which idiot said that?”

Then, he said, “Don’t listen to the others . You’re really very good . ”

“Tell me the truth!” Night Demon said harshly .

“Well…… Okay, fine . You are a bit silly sometimes, but it’s very endearing . Do you know what kind of person is the strongest in this whole universe?”

“What kind?”

“Of course it’s the kind of person that someone likes,” Su Chen replied straightforwardly . “So what if you’re silly sometimes and you aren’t that gentle? It’s fine as long as someone is willing to make sacrifices for you . ”

Night Demon’s eyes light up . “So is there someone that likes me and needs me?”

“Of course . I do! I need you! I believe that there are a lot of people who need you,” Su Chen replied diligently .

Night Demon blinked . It seemed like Su Chen was being very serious, and her previously melancholy attitude had lifted by quite a bit . She tilted her head back and began to laugh . “I get it now . You’re right, if there are people who like me, then I am invincible . Who cares what those guys do?”

When he saw her “arrogant” attitude, Su Chen felt a shiver run down his spine . He felt like he had somehow pushed her out of the frying pan and into the fire .

He didn’t say those words at this moment though .

Just as they were laughing and talking with one another, they suddenly saw a dark cloud appear off in the distance .

The dark cloud closed in on them very quickly . Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was actually a large crowned flying snake . On the flying snake’s head was perched a strange crown that looked like a large royal water lily upon which someone would sit .

The large crowned flying snake was the only tameable flying beast that existed on the Lonely Swan Ramparts . Even though its carrying limit was low, it was extremely fast .

A Sand Race individual sat on each head of the large-crowned flying snakes in the swarm .

“Those are our Sand Race pursuers,” Su Chen said as he immediately realized the situation they were in .

Since Pall had gotten away, there was no way he was going to let them go so easily . Everyone was already prepared for this .

The current group closing in on them was probably just the advance squad .

At this moment, when the group on the large-crowned flying snakes saw them, they began to whistle loudly . At the same time, they gestured with their hands raised towards the sky, creating a massive sandstorm that surged forward .

This sandstorm was not meant to be used offensively . Instead, it was like a flare to let the troops behind them know that their targets were here . At the same time, it also served as a hindrance to slow down their escape .

When they saw this, steely glints flashed across Zhu Baiyu’s and Shi Mingfeng’s eyes .

“Courting death!” the two of them howled and flew into the air simultaneously .

Two Light Shaking Realm cultivators emerged from the mass of flying snakes to meet Shi Mingfeng and Zhu Baiyu, stopping them in place .

Because they were lying in ambush, Pall hadn’t brought too many people with him this time . There were only two Light Shaking Realm cultivators amongst the scouts and another two amongst the reinforcements . Including him, there were five in total . During the battle in West Laina Castle, Sark died in battle, and Pall and Duluth had both been injured and were still recovering . Pall also knew that wanting to fight the humans at peak strength would be impossible . He could only send his two Light Shaking Realm cultivators to protect the scouting force and delay Su Chen’s party for a bit . Once the main force arrived, they could rely on the strength of the Sand Race’s army to overwhelm even the Light Shaking Realm cultivators .

As the two Light Shaking Realm cultivators faced off against Shi Mingfeng and Zhu Baiyu, the other large-crowned flying snakes began to draw near, slowly approaching as the sandstorm grew stronger . The Camel Wolves howled as they curled up against the sand onslaught . It seemed like there was no point in trying to run away .

“Jingwen, find a few archers and shoot them down,” Zhu Xianyao yelled as she charged over .

“It won’t do any good . We don’t have any good archers on our side, and the sand is so intense that we can barely keep our eyes open!” Zhao Jingwen replied loudly .

Zhu Xianyao was angry but helpless .

Her cultivation base hadn’t yet reached the Light Shaking Realm and she had no way of flying on her own . There was nothing she could do against airborne opponents .

At that moment, they suddenly heard a metallic ring as a blade flew into the air . It flashed with a dazzling light before shooting off at a large-crowned flying snake .

It was Su Chen’s blade .

Quite a few people recognized it .

“That won’t have any effect,” Zhu Xianyao sighed .

Even if Su Chen’s physical strength was shockingly powerful, what use was there in throwing the blade through the air? Couldn’t the opponent easily dodge?

Indeed, the large-crowned flying snake casually moved to the side .

A shocking scene, however, rapidly ensued . The blade that had flown into the air didn’t immediately come back to the ground . Instead, it suddenly changed directions and flew back towards the large-crowned flying snake .

Whoosh!

The snake was cleaved into two . The Sand Race individual riding it immediately fell to the ground and was smashed into a meat paste .

“How did that happen?”

Everyone was totally stunned . They watched as the Mountain-Beheading Blade suddenly sprouted a pair of transparent wings in midair, then turned around again and charged at the group of Sand Race scouts .
