Urban Wolf King
Chapter 72 - 72 72 Tricked

72: Chapter 72 Tricked 72: Chapter 72 Tricked Wang Yan was standing there, pondering how to extract more information from the Snake Soul without revealing his intentions, without noticing the small movements under Snake Soul’s feet.

The poisonous gas under Snake Soul’s feet was one of his most formidable attacks, capable of killing stealthily.

Even at full alert, Wang Yan might not be able to defend against it, let alone now when Snake Soul appeared utterly harmless.

Just as the green poisonous gas was about to reach Wang Yan’s feet, he suddenly twitched his nose, detecting a whiff of tension emanating from Snake Soul.

This was the kind of tension that appeared only when victory was at hand.

Wang Yan immediately sensed something was wrong.

Although he couldn’t see what Snake Soul’s attack was, he knew he was about to fall into a trap.

With a cold snort, Wang Yan said, “Seeking death!”

At Wang Yan’s words, Snake Soul jolted in shock, quickly halting the underground poisonous gas, which was then just half a foot away from Wang Yan’s feet.

Looking innocently at Wang Yan, Snake Soul asked, “What did you just say, sir?”

Wang Yan said coldly, “You know what I said.

Trying to play tricks in front of me, you’re still too green.

Back when I was making a name for myself in Wanghai City, you didn’t even know where you were!”

Upon hearing Wang Yan’s words, Snake Soul was taken aback again, deeply convinced that Wang Yan was indeed an old Demon Master.

So, Snake Soul hastily willed the poisonous gas, which was about to hit Wang Yan’s feet, to reverse back into his body.

At this moment, Wang Yan could sense that the previous aura of ambush from Snake Soul had vanished.

Wang Yan knew he was temporarily safe and coldly said, “At least you know your limits.”

Seeing that Wang Yan was so aware of his stealthy ambush, Snake Soul completely believed Wang Yan and dared not make any more unusual moves.

Snake Soul racked his brain, trying to recall if there was a Demon Cultivator named Wang Yan decades ago.

But decades ago, he had just awakened his Demon Pattern; how could he know such a senior?

Still a bit apprehensive, Snake Soul cautiously asked, “Sir, do you know Lord Black Dragon?”

At Snake Soul’s question, Wang Yan immediately thought that this Lord Black Dragon must have a significant connection with the Black Dragon Association and might even be its head.

Without showing any trace, Wang Yan replied indifferently, “Black Dragon…

Hmph.”

Having said just those three words, Wang Yan didn’t give any further response.

This was Wang Yan’s cleverness.

When unsure, he didn’t elaborate, merely uttering a few words, leaving the rest for Snake Soul to guess.

Sure enough, Snake Soul fell into the trap.

Initially, Snake Soul intended to probe Wang Yan with this question, but he only got those three words.

Even though it was just a few words, Snake Soul detected Wang Yan’s disdain for Lord Black Dragon.

It’s known that in Wanghai City, Lord Black Dragon was a top-tier figure with countless Demon Cultivators under him, and no one dared show any disrespect to him.

Yet, when Wang Yan heard “Lord Black Dragon,” he merely scoffed, indicating that he was a figure as great as Lord Black Dragon.

Lord Black Dragon had indeed sent him to kill such a person, clearly wanting to use him as a tool.

The more Snake Soul thought about it, the more convinced he became, and the more fearful he felt, intruding into the feud between two such powerful beings was truly courting death.

Since the conversation between Wang Yan and Snake Soul, Wang Yan had only uttered three sentences, merely a dozen words, yet these seemingly meaningless words had thoroughly intimidated and subdued Snake Soul into fear.

Wang Yan sniffed the air again, picking up the scent of fear emanating from Snake Soul, and thought to himself, “That’s about enough.

It’s my turn to ask questions now.”

Then, Wang Yan placed his hands behind his back and casually asked, “How long have you been a Demon Cultivator?”

In the midst of his chaotic thoughts, Snake Soul suddenly heard Wang Yan’s question, akin to that of a mentor, and hastily answered honestly, “It’s been thirty-two years since I became a Demon Cultivator, sir.”

“Hmm, who awakened your Demon Pattern?”

“Answering the sir, it was Lord Black Dragon who awakened it.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan felt a slight stir in his heart, thinking: So this Lord Black Dragon also knows how to awaken Demon Patterns.

It seems it’s not just my master who can.

I should inquire about how to awaken Demon Patterns and use this knowledge for Ma Jun.

Wang Yan then asked, “Hmm, how did Black Dragon awaken your Demon Pattern?”

Without suspecting anything, Snake Soul continued to answer honestly, “The sir should know, one must stimulate their potential, and those with Demon Pattern potential will have their Demon Patterns awakened.

Back then, I was thrown into the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave with dozens of others; they all died, but I struggled to escape, thereby stimulating my potential and awakening my Demon Pattern.”

Wang Yan suddenly realized: So stimulating potential can awaken the Demon Pattern.

I just don’t know if Ma Jun has this potential.

Keeping his expression neutral, Wang Yan said, “However, you’ve been cultivating for thirty-two years, and your progress is still lacking.”

With a flushed face, Snake Soul said, “The sir is right.

Up till now, I’m only a Mid-Tier Demon Warrior, two tiers away from Demon Warrior Great Perfection.”

“Demon Warrior?” Hearing this term, Wang Yan was somewhat puzzled.

“What is this Demon Warrior?

Is it perhaps a level in Demon Cultivation?”

At this moment, in order to find out, Wang Yan could only learn from Snake Soul, so he laughed heartily and said, “Do you know what my cultivation level is?”

Hearing this, Snake Soul quickly replied, “Could the sir be a High-Tier Demon Warrior?

No, perhaps a Demon Warrior Great Perfection?

Could the sir be a Demon Master?

A Demon King?

Or a Demon Emperor?”

The more Snake Soul spoke, the more terrified his expression became, and his voice began to tremble.

Yet Wang Yan listened intently, thinking: So those with the Demon Pattern Divine Technique are called Demon Cultivators, Demon Warrior seems to be the lowest, yet it’s also divided into Initial Tier, Mid-Tier, High-Tier, and Great Perfection.

Beyond Demon Warrior are Demon Master, Demon King, Demon Emperor; I wonder what follows the Demon Emperor.

Just as Wang Yan was about to ask more, he suddenly saw the giant python, which had been lying alongside, weakly shudder, followed by a rapid dissipation of life force, and then it disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the giant python had died.

Seeing this, Snake Soul felt a pang of heartache.

But now that he believed Wang Yan to be a superior expert, he dared not voice any complaint, instead cautiously asking, “Master, this giant python is a Warrior Level Soul Beast.

I’ve reared it for a long time; could I take its Demon Soul with me?”

“Soul Beast and Demon Soul!” Wang Yan’s heart skipped a beat.

“This giant python is a Warrior Level Soul Beast, corresponding with a Demon Warrior among Demon Cultivators.

But what is this Demon Soul?”

As Wang Yan pondered, he suddenly saw a red light slowly appear above the giant python’s head, and with this light, a small red glowing serpent floated out from the python’s head.

This small serpent was filled with abundant energy akin to the Demon Pattern.

Upon seeing this red glowing small serpent, a piece of information suddenly drilled into Wang Yan’s mind: “Red, Warrior Level Demon Beast’s Demon Soul, can be absorbed upon advancing beyond Demon Warrior to Demon Master!”

The voice was so abrupt that Wang Yan couldn’t help but reveal a slight expression of joyful surprise.

Snake Soul, who had been observing Wang Yan closely, suddenly saw this trace of joy on Wang Yan’s face and felt a shiver in his Heart Spirit, immediately realizing that he had been duped.
