Capítulo 9: Saving People But Inviting Trouble

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The fire dragon made a beeline for the petite young lady.

Panicked, she acted on her instinct and threw out a silver white ball from her sleeve to defend herself.

Bang－

It exploded, making a noise as loud as a thunderbolt!

On top of the tree, Su Yu could feel his eardrums ringing and his inner strength quivering. He almost fell off the tree.

Right after that, a tremendous amount of energy exploded, violently shaking the ground around them!

Hiss－

The fire dragon was completely caught up in the silvery white ball's explosion. It gave off a mournful cry.

Almost half of its head was blown off and the remaining of its body was covered in blood. Seven inches away from the head, a big piece of the snake's scales had come off, revealing its gory flesh.

The intense pain made the snake all the more ferocious. It writhed its body crazily and dashed fiercely towards the petite young lady. Its bloody mouth wide open, the fire dragon was about to devour the delicate little sheep!

Su Yu secretly shook his head. The power of the petite young lady's silvery white ball was frightening! It must be a very expensive lifesaving treasure! Under normal circumstances, the explosive power of the ball might even kill someone of Level Three Peak of the Martial Arts.

However, the petite young lady was too panicked. If she had hit the snake seven inches below its head, where its heart was, it would surely be dead now.

Amid the grave danger, Su Yu took out his scarlet bow, revolved his pupils to their maximum and aimed at the vulnerable spot. There was a wound where the snake's scale was peeling off. Aiming at it, Su Yu shot an arrow there abruptly.

Hiss－

The arrow hit the target! However, it did not penetrate the heart as the snake's flesh was too thick. Even though the arrow had hit the spot, it was still a small distance from the snake's heart.

The fire dragon gave another mourning cry. Amid the pain, it lifted its head angrily and looked at the human who hid at the top of the tree and shot the arrow.

"What are you looking at? Evil demon!" Su Yu's heart felt cold as he had no way to defend himself against a demonic beast, which was at Level Three Peak.

Without any hesitation, Su Yu shot another arrow. This arrow was very accurate and it landed on the tip of the feather arrow that was stuck in the spot.

The two arrows were shot, end-to-end! Immediately, the feather arrow went another three inches into the snake's flesh, deep into its heart.

Oww—

The snake let out a mournful growl like a dragon. It opened its mouth and spit out a mouthful of a black poisonous liquid. Bits and pieces of the snake's fangs were mixed in the poisonous liquid.

Su Yu's expression changed and he hurriedly hid himself behind the tree's trunk.

Thud－

He clearly felt something penetrating the tree's trunk behind his back with sudden force.

When he looked back, he saw that the fire dragon was on the ground writhing in pain. It was near its death. He only leaped towards the snake after it had completely stopped moving ten minutes later.

As for the petite young lady, she also seemed to be knocked unconscious from the impact of the explosion.

Su Yu felt relieved. Without hesitation, he removed the fire dragon's gallbladder, fangs and skin, which were its most valuable parts. After that, Su Yu looked at the blunt knife in his hand, amazed. The fire dragon's skin was much harder than expected.

He was rejoicing in happiness. Luckily for him, the silvery white ball that the petite young lady used had blasted off the snake's scales at the seven-inch spot, revealing the snake's flesh. Otherwise, his arrow alone would be unable to pierce through the thick snakeskin.

When Su Yu got up and was about to leave, he heard a faint groan of pain coming from behind him.

When he looked back, he found that the petite young lady looked very pale and her forehead was full of sweat. She was breathing so heavily that her chest was swiftly moving up and down.

"That's not good! She has been poisoned!" As Su Yu did a check on her, he found that a piece of the snake's fang with black poisonous liquid had pierced through her clothes and went into her chest.

As a counterattack before its death, the fire dragon had spit out a big mouthful of poisonous liquid, with its broken fangs mixed in it. The petite young lady had been injured by it and got poisoned.

Without hesitation, Su Yu undid the young lady's clothes. When he examined her, he found that at the right side of her chest, a small piece of fang had pierced through her clothes and skin into her flesh. The black liquid mixed in her blood covered the wound on her chest.

At the area near the wound, the flesh had started to turn dark brown, signaling that the poison had started to spread within her body. Once the toxin entered her heart, even a deity would be unable to save her.

In such a critical situation, saving life is of utmost importance. Su Yu's hands moved as fast as lightning, with his index and middle fingers meticulously removing the piece of fang that penetrated her flesh.

"Fortunately, the wound where the piece of poisonous fang was is wide. Hence, I don't need to cut open her skin; otherwise there would be a lasting scar at that spot." As Su Yu analyzed her wound quickly, he nodded to himself quietly. Then he squatted down and cleaned off the blood on the wound. He then opened his mouth and started to suck out the blood which had been contaminated by the poison.

It seemed the unconscious young lady being rescued felt the pain and her body was shaking lightly.

Chu—

Su Yu's mind was clear. He sucked out a mouthful of poisonous blood with force and quickly spit it out before the poison could enter the blood vessels of his oral cavity. Then he lowered his head and started to suck the blood out from the wound again.

Only after the sixth mouthful of blood, when the color was bright red, did Su Yu stop sucking the blood out. At that moment, Su Yu felt that his mouth was a bit numb, as a small amount of poison had entered his blood vessels.

However, this was all worth it as the pretty lady's breathing had stabilized. Now she was only in a state of unconsciousness, with her life no longer in danger.

Su Yu squatted down, covered the pretty lady with her clothes and left immediately.

He did not think that saving a girl by this method would get any thanks. Instead, he might be misunderstood and even risk his own life.

After all, that woman in purple was at Level Three Lower Tier! Moreover, he was in a deserted area. With the pretty lady's orders, the purple shirted lady could easily serve as a witness against him.

"What are you doing?" When Su Yu was about to leave, that young bodyguard stood up unsteadily and unexpectedly, spotting a stranger moving about sneakily.

At the same time, the fire dragon that they were fighting was stripped of most of its valuable parts! The young bodyguard was furious. "Which thief has stolen our war gains!?"

When he was unconscious, he could faintly hear a thunderous noise. He knew that the young princess had used her trump card to kill the fire dragon.

However, he did not expect that upon waking up, he would find the young princess unconscious and the most valuable parts of the fire dragon stolen!

Su Yu did not turn back. He remained vigilant and tore a piece of cloth to cover his face. After which, he left immediately without hesitation.

He did not expect the small amount of poison in his body to take effect, causing his body to become less agile and made it very hard to use Shadow Cloud smoothly.

"Where are you going!?" Making use of this opportunity, the young man at Level Two Peak started to chase him.

Su Yu turned back and said in a cold manner, "Hmph! I was the one who saved all of you! You had better check on your partners."

The young bodyguard said with boiling with rage. "Thief! How dare you! You injured my master and stole our prey. And now you're full of lies! You are only at Level Two Upper Tier of the Martial Path, how is it possible for you to kill the fire dragon? You've definitely injured others and stolen their prey!"

"Take that! Ferocious Tiger Fist!" The young bodyguard jumped into the sky, and threw himself towards Su Yu just like a ferocious tiger descending from a mountain.

Ferocious Tiger Fist was a very powerful medium level cultivation technique! Compared to Su Yu's Universal Stroke, it was a level higher.

Su Yu was enraged. "One does not get thanked for his kindness!"

"Universal Stroke," Su Yu's body became agile. He continuously threw punches and kicks in unity at the young bodyguard.

His punch and kick were so fast that one could only see shadows moving. With mighty power, they landed on the bodyguard's chest.

Hit by the punch and kick at the same time, the young bodyguard mourned in pain. His imposing manner of ferocious tiger descending from the mountain crumbled instantly.

However, before he could react, another punch landed on the exact same spot.

The young bodyguard was both startled and angry. He positioned both his hands in front of his chest. When his opponent stopped his attack for even a moment, he would use that opportunity to counterattack.

However, his opponent's mixed attack of punches and kicks went on, one punch and one kick, all landing on the same spot every time.

It continued until the last attack, when Su Yu streaked his leg across the air like a fragmentary shadow and the kick fiercely landed on the bodyguard's arms.

Ah－

The young man could no longer take it. His arms were hurting severely. And he was sent flying backwards about five meters, his eyes filled with astonishment. His opponent was only at Level Two Upper Tier, yet still managed to defeat him!

That strange mixed combination of fist and leg cultivation technique was definitely a basic level cultivation technique, yet it had the power to suppress him!

The reason Su Yu was able to defeat him was largely attributed to the fact that the young man had been through a tough battle and had used most up of his energy. Combined with the fact that he had just woken up, he was unable to display his true powers.

After sending the bodyguard flying with a kick, Su Yu immediately used Cloud Shadow. It was as though he had the shadow of the white clouds and was like a duckweed floating along the river and sea, capturing the attention of those who caught a glimpse of him. He disappeared into the trees.

Su Yu had to leave as the young lady in purple with the greatest power woke up!

"Li Minghai, what happened?" The young lady in purple supported her dizzy head and stood up unsteadily. All that she saw was the shadow of a man who sent Li Minghai flying and then escaped hurriedly.

With an embarrassed look, he exaggerated the situation while explaining it to the young lady.

The young lady in purple was shocked. However, she was not concerned about the fire dragon. Instead, she was more concerned about the young princess.

She went towards the young princess and examined her. When she confirmed that the young princess's life was not in danger, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, a meticulous lady as she was, she discovered that the young princess's clothes were a bit untidy, and the bloodstain on the young princess's chest suddenly caught her eye! Lastly, there were a few mouthfuls of dark red blood as well as a piece of the poisonous snake's fang beside the young princess!

The young lady seemed to have realized something and her face turned pale. She said in a deep voice, "Li Minghai, leave us!"

When he left, the young lady removed the princess's clothes. Then she saw the wound caused by the poisonous fang as well as a trace of dark-colored skin, traces of being poisoned! However, the blood contaminated with poison had been removed, and the young princess's life was not in danger.

Immediately, as she stared at the markings which suggested that someone sucked out the young princess's blood to save her, her mind started to put together the puzzle pieces. She then instantly understood what happened to the young princess!

The young lady looked angrily in his direction and said coldly, "Senior Qin, why didn't you stop him? The young princess's body is priceless; how could her body be touched by a man? How can she retain her good reputation? If Duke Xianyu found out about this, he would be as furious as a thunderstorm."

Rustle－

With a sound of the clothes fluttering against the wind, a wizened old man with a dull expression appeared out of thin air.

From the very beginning, this wizened old man had been standing in another tree. However, Su Yu did not sense it!

This old man's level of power was beyond imagination. He was the martial arts expert that was secretly protecting the young princess.

No matter how hard Duke Xianyu was on his daughter, he would not take risks and allow his daughter to go into the mountain with her little power. As such, Senior Qin was a martial arts expert who was secretly sent to protect her, and he would only take action when the young princess's life was under threat.
