Chapter 479 The Right Time

“Master, I did it.”

The jade carrier rune transmitted Su Chenke’s voice, which echoed in Su Li’s ear.

A beautiful smile showed on Su Li’s mouth. After looking up at the tall and remote mountains, Su Li stepped into the forest and disappeared between gra.s.s and trees.

Just a few breaths after she entered, two faint streams of light landed outside the forest. After the light dissipated, the figures of Su Chenke and Su Zhuonian appeared.

“This barren forest is famous for its low nimbus in Jiuzhou Region. If the mighty demon wants to pa.s.s nature’s punishment, she must be supplied with nimbus. How could she make such a stupid mistake?”

Su Zhuonian asked. Hearing that, Su Chenke pretended to think, and then responded, “The lower the nimbus, the less powerful nature’s punishment. The mighty demon maybe has other plans. We will follow up and see.”

As he said, he was about to set out, but Su Zhuonian frowned and stopped him.

Su Chenke became nervous immediately. Did Su Zhuonian find his intention?

“Since it is a resourceful mighty demon, it must have some perception methods that we don’t know. We will wait until nature’s punishment comes and disrupts the rules.”

After hearing this, Su Chenke sighed in relief in his heart and nodded repeatedly. He said in fear, “Brother, you are so thoughtful.”

Su Zhuonian seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile, “If your character were calmer, your cultivation would not stop in Huashen Realm. When we get the mighty demon this time, you can take some Hongchen Elixir back to practice your heart.”

The implication of what he said was that he was obviously not going to share the mighty demon with Su Chenke.

Su Chenke didn’t get angry, but looked overjoyed, “Thank you, brother!”

Su Zhuonian smiled more happily when he saw Su Chenke was so sensible.

…

Su Li flew as easily as walking on firm earth, until she stopped beside the huge lake on the top of the mountain. She looked around with her eyes blinking.

Obviously, this boundless lake was dug recently, but there were not many excavation marks left. It was mostly possible that it was dug by the group of snakes with human faces that led by Zi Sha.

It was indeed the case. Through the clear water of the lake, she immediately saw the entangled snakes with human faces at the bottom of the lake. The lake was densely packed by them, like a snake cave.

“You really came. Very good…”

The mellow voice of Zi Sha came from all directions, enabling Su Li not to find its origin. She just knew that Zi Sha was hiding in the large expanse of demon crystals under the lake.

“I came as promised, but you didn’t even show your face?”

Su Li took a deep breath and said that with a cold tone. On her usual calm face, an unconcealable anxiety showed up at this moment.

“Giggle… Doesn’t your Human Clan say that the heart of defense is indispensable? I don’t want to give away my tens of thousands of years of cultivation to others.”

Su Li frowned. Her tone was cold, as if she was angry.

“Zi Sha, you are going too far! I have never violated the agreement between you and me, let alone tell anyone about you.”

“Ho-ho… I of course know what you did. Otherwise, do you think you can still come to me alive?”

At the end of the talk, Zi Sha’s soft tone suddenly became cold. Su Li’s body tightened slightly and she coldly snorted, “Stop talking nonsense. I’m here as promised, and I will help you hold nature law only a quarter! If the strange scene brought by nature law attracts other people, I will not be responsible for that.”

“It is sure. Since you are ready to accept nature’s punishment, then… as you wish.”

Before she completely finished her words, the calm lake in Su Li’s sight immediately rippled. At first, it was just like a breeze. However, as time pa.s.sed, the wind gradually raged. The tiny waves were immediately turned into stormy waves by unknown forces. Finally, the stormy waves turned into a water dragon and surged into the sky!

Swoos.h.!.+

The messy spray turned into raindrops and poured down. Su Li stared at the water vortex without blinking an eye. Her pupils slowly contracted, and the fear in her eyes gradually grew stronger. Suddenly—

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Countless snakes with human faces went upstream around the water column. The densely packed snakes with human faces twisted frantically and hissed to the sky. If an ordinary pract.i.tioner saw this scene, he or she would be scared to faint.

“Here we go.”

Outside the barren forest, Su Zhuonian saw the water dragon with snakes around pouring into the sky. He was horrified.

He didn’t fully believe there was a demon before, but at this moment when he saw it personally, he had no suspicion any more. He thought quickly about how to kill the demon at the least cost!

Crack!!

After a snake-shaped lightning flashed, the sky suddenly became pitch dark. The lightning flashed for a moment, and then one-tenth of the snakes with human faces were chopped into pieces of flesh. At that moment, blood was raining.

Su Li stood on the sh.o.r.e and looked up at the world-destroying scene in the distance. She let blood fall on her face and be washed away by the rain repeatedly.

“What a big thundercloud! Even the sky is completely covered.”

Standing in the distance, Su Chenke and Su Zhuonian were both shocked. At this moment, although their cultivations were in different realms, their thoughts were very similar.

“Su Jiuzhou! Do it!!”

But at this moment, a roar full of anger came from the barren forest. It was completely different from the gentle female voice before. Instead, it resembled the sound of countless men and women mixing together, making Su Zhuonian feel scared.

Even if the strength of this mighty demon dropped sharply during the snake slough, would he be her opponent?

But this thought of retreat only flashed in his mind, and was completely overwhelmed by the huge benefits he would get after he killed the mighty demon.

“At all costs. Kill!”

…

Su Li was soaked and looked indifferent. Watching the lake turn lightly red because of the death of eighty percent of the snakes with human faces, she said calmly,

“What are you afraid of? The snakes with human faces are not dead yet. I will help you only a quarter. If I make an early move and you can’t make it through, what should I do if you want to die with me?”

While saying this, Su Li stepped back without a trace. But she immediately felt that she was focused by an extremely dangerous mind, as if she would face an overwhelming terrorist attack as long as she took another step back.

“If you run away, you will die now!”

The sharp tones mixed with countless voices made Su Li’s eardrums pain. She no longer retreated, and flew toward the water dragon roll. The pressure on her body suddenly lightened.

But it didn’t take long for her to relax. Then she was stared at by another even more terrifying pressure.

Boom!!

The dark clouds suddenly turned over violently. Before Su Li flew to the water dragon roll, a bucket-thick purple thunder came down.

The power of this thunder was more than twice as powerful as the one that struck Zi Sha’s head before!

“I can’t hold it!”

Su Li’s expression changed slightly. She quickly took out and unfolded the Tactical Matrix for Camouflage that was transformed with demon crystals of Zi Sha. After the purple thunder smashed on the s.h.i.+eld of the Tactical Matrix, a strong purple light appeared. The entire Tactical Matrix creaked, as if it would explode in an instant.

However, the Tactical Matrix for Camouflage still held up.

Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, but a panic-stricken voice mixed with horror came from under her feet,

“This is… the Purple Emperor-level Thunder?!!”

“You… what kind of demon are you?! d.a.m.n, my thunder for testing…”

Su Li didn’t know what the Purple Emperor-level Thunder was. But she also saw that the black cloud caused by her gradually merged with Zi Sha’s cloud for testing. And finally… the cloud for testing originally s.h.i.+ning with a blue arc was filled with frightening purple light.

The terrifying destroy power was brewing in the tremendous thunder for testing. Su Li looked at the core of the tactical matrix that had been split into pieces. The Tactical Matrix for Camouflage had accompanied her for more than a year. Now it was broken and couldn’t be used anymore.

“How to stop the next strike?”

Looking up at the acc.u.mulating electric arc and thunder, Su Li frowned.

She couldn’t escape forever. But at this moment, nature’s punishment was obviously not going to give her a chance to think about it.

After three breaths—

Boom!

The purple thunder dropped sharply and Su Li was overwhelmed in the blink of an eye. The purple light struck straightly into the water. The lake crackled constantly and instantly turned into a thunder pond.

Although Zi Sha hid deep in the bottom of the lake, half of her body was still numbed by the coming purple thunder.

“Su Jiuzhou… d.a.m.n you!”

Grinding her teeth and moving her body bitterly, Zi Sha stared at the purple sky.

She never dreamed that Su Jiuzhou, a talent, had a higher potential than her and led to a more severe thunder for testing. The means she prepared were not enough to deal with it, but now… it was too late to say anything.

Su Jiuzhou had been struck into ashes by the thunder, and even the ashes were scattered with the wind. Who could she take revenge on?

Suddenly—

The purple thunder rolling in the sky faded quickly and turned into blue again. It looked even much lighter than before.

After being startled for a moment, Zi Sha was overjoyed instantly.

Lack of nimbus!

It was because of the lake of nimbus!

The nimbus in this area was too thin, and natural law had no time to mobilize too much nimbus to thunder in a short time. The strike that made Su Jiuzhou to death was too strong, which directly caused its thunder power to drop.

“Hahaha! Su Jiuzhou!”

Zi Sha couldn’t help laughing excitedly. Her delicate face suddenly distorted, and turned into a huge snake head. Only the pair of purple eyes still glowed with the previous familiar feeling.

Swoos.h.!.+

The red lake water overflowed to the sh.o.r.e. Zi Sha rushed out of the water, and her real figure finally appeared. She held her head high, and her body full of weird pattern scales convulsed. Layers of her skin shed and fell into the lake water.

There was no need for her to carefully treat the thunder for testing when its power was reduced by a level.

The dark clouds rolled—

Boom!

Boom!

…

More than a dozen rays of thunder struck down one after another. The snake scales were flying and the blood were dripping. The howling of Zi Sha was constantly echoing in the lake.

Although the thunder for testing was no longer a concern, she was the weakest at this moment because it was at the end of her snake slough. Although the thunder for testing could not seriously injure her, it still caused her a certain amount of pain.

The dark sky gradually returned to clear, and the dark clouds dispersed. Until the last thunder fell and no abnormality occurred, Zi Sha was finally relieved. She raised her head to enjoy the warm suns.h.i.+ne that she had expected to see for thousands of years.

Suddenly!

A golden light swiftly pa.s.sed by. The flesh and blood of Zi Sha was penetrated, leaving a blood hole as large as a washbasin on her body!

“Hiss!!!”

The severe pain invaded Zi Sha’s nerves. Zi Sha raised her head and screamed. She opened her huge mouth and bit at the golden light. But the golden light accelerated again and escaped the fate of being bitten by Zi Sha in a thrilling manner.

The blood splattered. Zi Sha quickly coiled up. Her snake pupil stared at the golden light going away. It finally fell to a smiling and elegant scholar and turned into a golden corpse.

“It seems that I come at the right time.”
