Chapter 1393: Chapter 1393: What a Hassle! (Updated 3 Times)
Not long after being “hung” up there, Su Zehao and the others sent messages to inquire about Ye Haochuan’s situation.
Not wanting them to worry, Ye Haochuan replied that he was sitting in a luxurious seat.
Su Zehao and the others were half-convinced, feeling somewhat relieved.
Soon, the flying vessel took off. Although it accelerated quickly, it wasn’t strong enough to throw Ye Haochuan off.
Ye Haochuan found it a bit strange. Could that dead fat guy really have such a kind heart, only intending to let him hang there and cry a bit?
Very soon, Ye Haochuan realized he had thought too simply.
After the flying vessel flew past Shimen Town, it was in a large forest. In this forest, various demon beasts ran rampant, making people feel terrified.
Especially a hawk-shaped demon beast, which almost swallowed Ye Haochuan as food. However, its final fate was to be split in two by Ye Haochuan’s sword.
The deeper he went into the forest, the more demon beasts there were. Several times, he encountered Core Formation Stage demon beasts that had transformed into humanoid shapes. Although they weren’t enough to injure him, they caused no small amount of trouble.
“Damn it, I was wondering why the Ji family’s Nascent Soul expert hadn’t released his aura. Turns out it was a deliberate scheme to trouble me!” Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
Generally, as long as the Nascent Soul experts on this flying vessel released their aura, these small demon beasts would dissolve without a fight. Now, Ye Haochuan had to kill them one by one.
Fortunately, Ye Haochuan’s aura wasn’t weak either. Once he released his aura, aside from some demon beasts with Core Formation levels, the others obediently backed off.
“Human, leave all your treasures, and we will let you go. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite!” Suddenly, a brawny man with wings blocked Ye Haochuan’s path, shouting loudly.
“Core Formation Late Stage?” Seeing the cultivation of this brawny man, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but sigh.
At the same boundary, demon beasts generally have more ferocity in their bloodline, so their combat power is generally stronger than humans.
Judging by the man’s appearance, he should be transformed from a power-type demon beast, with even greater combat power, likely not even someone like Core Formation Peak Hughes would be his match.
The passengers inside the flying vessel couldn’t see what was happening outside, but the voice penetrated the entire vessel. Everyone was stunned, and some fearfully said to Ji Yuan: “There are demon beasts here, please, Elder Ji, eliminate them!”
“Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, you won’t die!” Ji Song said disdainfully, but he didn’t actually mean to make a move.
Second Young Master Bai sneered coldly at the side, moved close to Ji Yuan, and whispered: “Uncle Ji is truly unparalleled in wisdom. Now that kid is hanging outside, he’s surely the first target of the demon beasts’ attack. With the demon beasts having such an aura, that kid definitely won’t survive!”
Ji Yuan smiled faintly, a trace of pride in his eyes. Given Ye Haochuan’s Core Formation Mid-Stage cultivation, managing to hold on until now was already no small feat. Now that he encountered a Core Formation Late Stage demon beast, how could he possibly survive?
Once the demon beast kills Ye Haochuan, Ji Yuan would release his aura, causing the demon beasts to undoubtedly flee, posing no threat of death to those on the flying vessel.
Just as they planned, the brawny man’s first target was indeed Ye Haochuan, who was hanging outside. He even assumed that since Ye Haochuan was outside, he was probably the leader of this flying vessel.
Seeing Ye Haochuan not responding to his shout, the brawny man immediately flew into a rage.
“Courting death!”
The brawny man let out a long roar, his body suddenly transforming into a majestic lion, biting towards Ye Haochuan.
“Such trouble!”
Ye Haochuan snorted disdainfully, the Divine Concealment Sword already in his hand. With his strength, he could completely kill the lion in seconds.
However, he didn’t do so. With experts from the Ji family on the flying vessel, he didn’t want to appear too powerful. If they realized he was the one who took Ji Tianyu’s legacy, unnecessary trouble might arise.
Just moments ago, he had felt the flying vessel’s speed was slightly slower than his full-flight speed. Ye Haochuan simply let go of the handlebar, “fully” swung his sword, and blocked the lion back.
That lion, missing its strike, grew more ferocious, swinging its mighty claws rapidly, even sending out some wind blades.
Ye Haochuan appeared somewhat “disheveled,” yet could easily catch each attack.
After dozens of exchanges, Ye Haochuan “seized an opportunity” and left a long wound on the lion’s back.
Having suffered repeated setbacks, the lion realized Ye Haochuan wasn’t to be underestimated, and retreated grudgingly.
Ye Haochuan took a “deep breath,” caught up with the flying vessel, and hung on again.
Inside the flying vessel, Ji Yuan’s relaxed expression suddenly froze, muttering, “Who is this kid really? He can even defeat a demon beast across levels?”
Ye Haochuan deliberately concealed his abilities, not wanting too much attention from Ji Song. Yet despite his efforts, he still made Ji Yuan suspicious.
He couldn’t help it; if he hid his strength any further, he’d get killed by the lion, essentially playing himself to death.
Hearing Ji Yuan’s words, Second Young Master Bai frowned. “Uncle Ji, you must help me get rid of this kid, or I won’t be able to quell my inner anger!”
Ji Yuan shook his head and said, “From my observation, this guy seemed to have some strength left earlier. Ordinary demon beasts probably can’t do much to him. Whether we can kill him or not will depend on luck!”
Ji Yuan clearly didn’t expect Ye Haochuan to have such combat power. Encountering a Core Formation Late Stage demon beast along this journey was already not easy.
If they specifically went to a higher-level demon beast’s vicinity, even with Ji Yuan’s Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivation, he might face no small trouble.
Risking for the little Spirit Crystal given by Second Young Master Bai didn’t seem worth it.
After speaking, Ji Yuan lost interest in conversing further with Second Young Master Bai, focusing on piloting the flying vessel.
At this moment, Second Young Master Bai felt utterly dejected. To kill Ye Haochuan, he had given a million to Ji Yuan. If he couldn’t kill him, it would be a complete waste of his Spirit Crystals.
The Spirit Crystals were a small matter; if he didn’t kill Ye Haochuan, who had twice tricked him, he couldn’t swallow this anger.
“Young Master, that guy’s skills are quite formidable; ordinary demon beasts probably can’t do much to him. But I have a plan that can ensure this kid dies without a place for burial!” Feng Da suddenly whispered in Second Young Master Bai’s ear.
“What plan? Tell me quickly!” Second Young Master Bai urged on.
“Just now, I smelled a peculiar fragrance on those who came with that kid. According to my knowledge, this should be the scent of the Divine Thunder Origin Liquid. They had it on them, which means that kid probably has it too.”
“So what? That kid sold his Holy Land Snow Lotus for at least ten million, buying some Divine Thunder Origin Liquid is normal!” Second Young Master Bai said, puzzled.
Feng Da laughed, “Young Master should know that the Divine Thunder Origin Liquid is tremendously enticing to certain thunder attribute demon beasts. I know there’s a group of Purple Lightning Bees nearby, with a frightening number. Moreover, the Bee King has even reached the Core Formation Peak level.”
“If we have the ship stop here briefly, the peculiar fragrance on that kid will surely attract the Purple Lightning Bees. By then, he will surely be dead!”
Upon hearing this, Second Young Master Bai’s eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily. He quickly had someone carry him off to find Ji Yuan to make arrangements.
