Chapter 71 - 71 71 Battle of Wits

71: Chapter 71 Battle of Wits 71: Chapter 71 Battle of Wits When Snake Soul realized that Wang Yan also possessed the Demon Pattern Divine Technique, he was immediately taken aback.

In this world, someone possessing a Demon Pattern is one in a million, and it’s extremely mysterious.

Moreover, those who have the Demon Pattern have miraculous powers, so they naturally consider themselves superior, viewing ordinary people as mere ants.

Snake Soul had just belittled Wang Yan because he thought that Wang Yan was just an ordinary person, and that killing him was a matter of whim.

Little did he know that Wang Yan also had a Demon Pattern, just like him, making him a Demon Cultivator!

Snake Soul realized that he had made a big mistake.

Although his giant serpent was very powerful, facing another Demon Cultivator with a Demon Pattern would be dangerous.

With this thought, Snake Soul shouted, “Giant serpent, retreat quickly.”

But by this time, it was already too late for the giant serpent to retreat.

At this moment, Wang Yan’s hand had already pierced the seven-inch mark of the giant serpent, reaching inside its body.

The giant serpent let out a painful hiss, its massive body convulsing uncontrollably, and its tail, as thick as a basin, whipped toward Wang Yan.

Wang Yan’s right hand was inside the giant serpent’s body, unable to withdraw.

Seeing the tail coming, he hurriedly raised his left arm to block it.

However, the force of the tail was immense.

As soon as it touched Wang Yan’s left arm, he felt a huge power coursing into him, and his left arm felt as if it would snap.

Wang Yan was surprised.

This was the first time he had seen a Soul Beast, and the first time he had fought one.

Despite being injured, the giant serpent still had such great strength, proving that a Soul Beast was no ordinary creature.

Had Snake Soul not been careless, letting the giant serpent stand still to be grabbed, Wang Yan reckoned he wouldn’t have stood a chance against its skill.

Thinking this, Wang Yan dared not take on the giant serpent’s tail head-on.

He used the power of the tail to quickly fly backward.

As he flew back, Wang Yan’s right hand tightly gripped the flesh inside the serpent.

At the same time, the force of the giant serpent’s tail had fully struck Wang Yan, sending him flying like a cannonball.

But this power was also utilized by Wang Yan’s right hand.

A large chunk of the giant serpent’s flesh was torn off by Wang Yan, flying with him as he went, leaving a gaping hole in the serpent’s body, from which blood sprayed all over the ground.

The serpent’s body recoiled in pain and leaped into the air, falling back to the ground, writhing continuously.

Although Wang Yan’s first grab injured the giant serpent, it wasn’t fatal.

However, the serpent’s own movement expanded the wound, leading to its critical injury.

The serpent kept rolling on the ground, blood soaking the area, its breath weakening until it was close to death.

Seeing this, Snake Soul’s eyes turned red.

In just a moment, a myriad of Bamboo Leaf Green died, and the giant serpent was also dead.

What Snake Soul considered an easy battle had cost him his most powerful support.

Moreover, the giant serpent was something Snake Soul had painstakingly acquired and nurtured for decades, meant to be of significant use after breaking through.

Who would have thought that decades of effort would be destroyed by Wang Yan in an instant.

Thinking of this, Snake Soul was furious, gritting his teeth to the point of breaking, and with a loud roar, he lunged towards Wang Yan.

Wang Yan had just landed on the ground.

Although killing the giant serpent seemed effortless, Wang Yan knew it was fraught with peril, and without meticulous planning at every step, there was no way he could have killed the serpent so easily.

Even though the serpent was now dead, his internal organs felt displaced by the strike of the serpent’s tail.

Seeing Snake Soul coming at him, Wang Yan retreated while slowly adjusting his breath.

Snake Soul kept lunging forward, while Wang Yan kept retreating.

As the full moon shone brightly, casting its light on both of them.

Snake Soul, livid and frantic, struck at Wang Yan’s vital points as if in a frenzy.

Wang Yan, agile and fluid as a cloud, continued retreating, deftly avoiding Snake Soul’s attacks.

Silver moonlight bathed Wang Yan, casting a silver sheen on him, as the moonlight seeped into his pores, gradually restoring him.

By now, Snake Soul had made hundreds of attacks, yet hadn’t even touched the edge of Wang Yan’s clothes.

The more Snake Soul attacked, the more panic he felt.

When the giant serpent struck Wang Yan, Snake Soul noticed that Wang Yan seemed to be injured, so he frantically attacked, hoping to take advantage of his state.

But surprisingly, Wang Yan seemed to recover while avoiding his attacks.

If he couldn’t defeat Wang Yan while injured, what more now that he had seemingly recovered?

Snake Soul’s heart was already set on retreat, but the killing of the giant serpent made it hard to swallow his anger.

Snake Soul shouted, “Who exactly are you?

There is no Demon Cultivator like you in Wanghai City.”

Wang Yan said calmly, “Do you think you know all the Demon Cultivators in Wanghai City?”

In truth, Wang Yan had no idea how many Demon Cultivators were in Wanghai City, and the term Demon Cultivator was new to him.

The reason he said so was to bluff Snake Soul for more information.

Sure enough, upon hearing Wang Yan’s words, Snake Soul was immediately fooled and exclaimed, “Are you one of the Stealth Experts from the Black Dragon Association?”

Hearing the Black Dragon Association, Wang Yan suddenly recalled encountering Catwoman before.

He coldly said, “You know about the Black Dragon Association too?”

At this moment, Snake Soul stopped attacking, and they both landed, facing each other.

Snake Soul sneered, “Hmph, you were trying to trick me!”

Hearing Snake Soul’s words, Wang Yan realized he might have said the wrong thing, indicating some connection between Snake Soul and the Black Dragon.

Although Snake Soul mentioned that phrase, it was only to intimidate Wang Yan.

He had a subordinate role in the Black Dragon Association, just a branch to it.

As for the Stealth Experts, he had no idea how many there were.

So, after saying this, Snake Soul watched Wang Yan closely to see how he would react.

However, Wang Yan remained unfazed, displaying a hint of contempt instead.

Doubt arose in Snake Soul’s heart when he saw Wang Yan, who lifted his hand to reveal the Black Dragon Necklace given by Catwoman, coldly saying, “You should know this, right?”

Upon seeing the Black Dragon Necklace, Snake Soul was shocked, involuntarily stepping back two steps, respectfully saying to Wang Yan, “I didn’t know you were a Demon Cultivator of the Black Dragon Association.

I deserve to die.”

Seeing how effective the Black Dragon Necklace was, Wang Yan was a bit surprised.

Wang Yan was unaware of the Black Dragon Association’s status in Wanghai City, and the Black Dragon Necklace could only belong to core members of the association.

Seeing the respectful Snake Soul before him, Wang Yan thought, “Since he’s being honest, I must extract some information from him.”

Wang Yan folded his hands behind his back, feigning an experienced demeanor, and said, “I haven’t been back to Wanghai City in decades, and I didn’t expect it to be in such chaos.”

Hearing Wang Yan’s tone, Snake Soul was even more startled.

It was clearly the tone of a senior.

Though Wang Yan appeared young and didn’t show signs of aging, there were many Demon Cultivators skilled in preserving their youth.

Frightened by the Black Dragon Necklace, Snake Soul deeply regretted offending such a powerful figure.

But then, Snake Soul thought, “Wait a minute, it was Lord Black Dragon who ordered Wang Yan’s death.

If Wang Yan truly was a notable Demon Cultivator, why would Lord Black Dragon want to kill him?”

At that moment, Snake Soul realized he must have been tricked by Wang Yan!

However, being cunning and sly, Snake Soul maintained his respectful demeanor despite knowing the truth, while secretly emitting a faint green poison gas from his feet, which seeped into the ground, heading rapidly toward Wang Yan underground.
