Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 56: Chapter 54: Fortune Turns with Time (Seeking Continued Reading)

Insect Valley!

Deep and boundless, the true core of Insect Valley lay within a natural basin in the dense and verdant forest.

Here, the deep veins of the land leaked Spiritual Energy onto the surface, and coupled with the suitable environment, it formed a paradise for various Poison Insects.

Within Insect Valley, there weren’t only countless inferior poisonous insects, but also Low Grade and Mid-grade poisonous insects made their appearances. Yet, ordinary Outer Disciples dared not capture them, for they were no match.

At this moment on the perimeter of Insect Valley, Su Jie stood atop a tall tree, gazing at the vast expanse of the valley basin which had no visible end.

The sounds of various insects crawling and chirping filled his ears. One could see spiders weaving webs everywhere, venomous bees hidden in the grass and shrubs, and ants marching in groups,

Most of which were inferior poisonous insects that Outer Disciples could capture, but they also posed a certain threat.

However, Su Jie was not worried at the moment. Instead of intending to capture any, he quietly stayed in place, silently calculating the time in his mind.

“They’re here.”

Su Jie’s gaze shifted slightly as he slowly turned around.

Behind him, figures were rapidly darting through the forest. In just a matter of ten-odd seconds, they had moved hundreds of meters to come close to Su Jie.

A total of eight Disciples, wearing the garb of Outer Disciples from Ghost Ridge Palace, their identities were self-explanatory; it was just unknown which Elder they served under.

“Who are you? What do you want to do?”

Su Jie shook his body, feigning an expression of great alarm and looking anxiously at the approaching Ghost Ridge Palace Disciples.

“Mr. Su, you sure made us search for you. A whole two months, you’ve wasted two months of our time, and now you’re asking us what we want to do?”

The leader of the group of Outer Disciples was a man with a Fifth Level of Yunling Realm cultivation. His face was sinister, with sunken eyes, and within one of his eye sockets was not a human eyeball but instead a rounded black beetle.

At this moment, he was glaring fiercely at Su Jie, his malevolence not at all concealed in his gaze.

The other Disciples mostly had a cultivation around the Third Level of Yunling Realm and were cooperating with the Insect Eye man to block Su Jie’s path.

“So what exactly do you want to do? If you have no business with me, I’ll be leaving!”

Su Jie took a couple of steps back, his gaze shifting towards the forest beyond.

More Disciples were on their way. The enemies were clearly stalling for time with their conversation, not aware that this also aligned perfectly with Su Jie’s intentions.

“Want to leave? Hand over the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword first and we can let you go.”

The Insect Eye man exuded a chilling aura. As he spoke, his eyes remained fixated on Su Jie, ready to react to any movement instantly.

Shoo, shoo, shoo!

Several more Disciples hurried over; they were a separate group from the Insect Eye man and not part of his faction.

The arrival of the new Disciples changed the confrontation, with each group warily guarding against the other, fearing the others would reap the benefits of their conflict.

“Oh, so you’ve come for the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword. You should have said so sooner. If you want it, I’ll give it to you.”

Su Jie seemed to relax and took out the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword from his Storage Bag.

Whoosh!

In an instant, unknowable greed was firmly captivated.

However, the Disciples did not relax their vigilance; on the contrary, they became even more alert, conjuring hordes of poisonous insects from their sleeves, prepared for Su Jie to take advantage of the situation.

Yet none of them took the initiative to attack, as the threat of the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword was too great. Although reports indicated that Su Jie’s strength wasn’t formidable, only at the Fourth Level of Yunling Realm Cultivation, and acquiring Alien Ghost was merely good luck,

Even the Insect Eye man felt intimidation in his heart; had it not been for the numerical advantage, he would certainly have turned tail and fled. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Hearing Su Jie’s words, the man with insect eyes could not help but say, “Throw the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword over here, and I’ll let you go.”

“Shut up, hand over the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword to us, and I guarantee your safety.”

Another group of disciples likewise spoke up, their gaze vigilant and fixed on the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword.

Su Jie looked back and forth with a wry smile and said, “This puts me in a difficult spot, whom should I give it to? Why don’t you fight it out among yourselves? I’ll hand it over to whoever wins.”

Both groups exchanged glances, and the man with insect eyes sneered, “Trying to sow discord among us? Gentlemen, why don’t we join forces to kill him first, then decide how to divide this White Bone Sky Slaying Sword?”

The man with insect eyes seemed quite confident, and while he spoke, he even glanced back a few times inadvertently.

The other group didn’t speak, only quietly blocking Su Jie’s retreat.

At the same time, two other groups of disciples rushed over hurriedly. They were not on the same side either. In this way, with four groups combined, a total of twenty disciples surrounded Su Jie, each bearing an encircling stance.

“Everyone’s here now! I’ll just toss the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword randomly; whoever grabs it can have it.”

Su Jie narrowed his eyes slightly and, having confirmed with his Reconnaissance Dragonfly that everyone had arrived, flung the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword out,

By some twist of fate, the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword was thrown in the direction of the man with insect eyes, drawing the rapt attention of countless disciples towards this supreme Flying Sword.

The man with insect eyes felt a chill in his heart, thinking that Su Jie intended to frame him and shouted angrily, “Want to frame me? Kill him first.”

It was precisely at this moment that the ground beneath Su Jie suddenly churned and shook.

Following that, streams of purple light rays burst forth from underground. While the disciples were distracted, the rays instantly shone upon their bodies.

Dozens of high-temperature beams struck the bodies of the disciples. They didn’t even have a chance to cry out. The poisonous insects didn’t have time to react before their bodies were ignited by the beams. Bones and flesh melted like ice and snow under the rays, leaving no intact corpses behind.

In the blink of an eye, over twenty disciples met their untimely deaths. Only the man with insect eyes and three other disciples, all at the Fifth Level of Yunling Realm, reacted quickly enough to narrowly avoid the rays, lucky to survive.

“Sorry, I might have gone a bit overboard. Next time, I will restrain myself a bit and try to leave you with a complete body.”

Su Jie looked at the three men with a grin.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the ground beneath Su Jie roared and shook, followed by a thunderous rumble as the thousand-hand centipede burst out from below.

The previous attack had been unleashed by the thousand-hand centipede lying in wait underground, with exceedingly good effect. It truly lived up to its reputation as a skill honed through thrice-refined Spirit Refining, annihilating the majority of the enemies in one blow.

“Three times Spirit Refining a poisonous insect, how could it be, I must be seeing things.”

“This is bad, we’ve been deceived, he set a trap for us.”

“This person is incredibly tricky, we…”

The man with insect eyes, who was among the survivors, looked at Su Jie in terror. Before the last person could finish speaking, his pupils dilated dramatically, and his head fell from his neck; the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword didn’t let him utter his last words before severing his head.

“Your turn now, don’t make the brothers down below wait; they get lonely.”

Su Jie smiled as he turned his gaze towards the remaining two men with insect eyes.

Run! Run! Run!

With their souls nearly fleeing their bodies, the two men were utterly terror-stricken and scrambled away without looking back.

“Go, bring them back.”

Su Jie patted the head of the thousand-hand centipede he was riding, controlling the poisonous insect and the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword, intending to utterly obliterate his enemies.

The thousand-hand centipede let out an excited hiss, charging through the forest like a war chariot, booming as it pursued its prey.

The man with insect eyes and his fellows could probably never have imagined that Su Jie, whom they once chased to the point of forcing him to retreat to Blue Star, was, just two short months later, now hunting them down relentlessly, leaving them with no escape to the heavens and no doors to the earth, such are the vicissitudes of life.
