Rebirth of the Urban Immortal Cultivator

CHAPTER 70

"What is he going to do?"

Old Bone Mu and his fellow sect members were taken aback by Chen Fan's actions.

Like everyone else, the pond and the monster were anything but where they wanted to be near. However, that teenage boy didn't seem to fear the monster as he sauntered toward the giant snake.

"Master Wu, do you think Master Chen can handle the snake?" A'Xiu asked concernedly. Despite Chen Fan's god-like abilities, the sight of the snake evoked great fear inside of A'Xiu.

"... Perhaps." Master Wu hazarded.

Although he agreed that Chen Fan was both a powerful spell user and a competent Martial artist, the power of the ancient snake had exceeded his imagination. Take Mr. Shi for example; he was a powerful Transcendent Master; however, he was defenseless before the giant snake.

By then, Mr. Shi was already forced into a corner.

He had used his coup de grace four times in a row, and by then, the blood had already run dry in his mouth. All the bodyguards were either slaughtered or had deserted, leaving the old man to his own devices.

The giant snake revealed its enormous body as it slowly emerged from the water. It slithered forward and wrapped Mr. Shi around with its body.

The snake had lived over a hundred years, and its cultivation had taught it the pleasure of killing. With its prey in its grip, the snake looked down at Mr. Shi as if it was looking at its plaything.

Mr. Shi grunted and bemoaned his impending doom.

"I should have listened to Hunter Zhu!"

The caution of the old hunter drifted into his mind and filled Mr. Shi with regret. He was blind sighted by the urge of obtaining a Spirit Herb.

He had gone through the sect record, and none of them had mentioned the snake monster. Mr. Shi wagered that the snake must have been placed here by someone else and it was likely Master Wu and his sect members.

The Yin Ghost Sect had been settling around the Dong Du City for over a hundred years, and therefore they knew very well what was going on in the pond. The fact that they had kept such a danger secret was a reflection of their ulterior motives.

So thinking, he turned around and shouted to Zheng Anqi:

"Miss Zheng, Get out of here, now!

"Be wary of the Yin Ghost Sect."

Before he could let out his last word, the snake monster puffed out a grey mist at him. This mist contained so much Yin Qi that they condensed into dew that would suck the last warm breath out of a human body.

By then, Mr. Shi had used up all of his energy, and therefore he could not evade the attack.

Suddenly, he felt his body was dumped into the deep arctic sea and coldness nibbled at his flesh and bones. He gathered whatever Qi that was left in him and channeled them into protecting his internal organs.

Everyone watched as Mr. Shi was surrounded by a grey mist, and a green light flickered inside of his body, protecting the vital parts of his body. However, even the green glow was waning by the second.

"Mr. Shi!"

Zheng Anqi shouted.

Seeing their last protector, Mr. Shi was about to be frozen to death, the young teens around Miss Zheng turned their heels and ran toward the exist.

Sir Jiang Junior tugged Zheng Anqi's elbow, willing her to leave with them, but to no avail.

He gritted his teeth and let go of the girl. This was a life and death situation; there was no time to be a hero.
