Chapter 736 - Who Was It?

Chapter 736: Who Was It?

In the Endless Forest, towering trees blocked the sun. The thousand-year-old vines were as strong as dragons, and, from time to time, roars could be heard from afar.

There was naturally not much sense of security to spend the night here. The six disciples of Ziyue Cave Heaven did not dare to sleep. However, Xiao Luo closed his eyes and rested, indifferent to the dangers that might approach them, with his back against a big tree.

After personally witnessing Xiao Luo kill more than 10 members of the Black Blood Mercenary Corps with a single slash, an expert at the peak of Martial Spirit Realm had no ability to resist in front of him. Zuo Xiangming and the others had already regarded Xiao Luo as a god in their hearts.

“Senior Brother, the aura on this guy Xiao Luo is clearly that of a martial master. Why is his strength so terrifying?”

“That’s right. More than 10 members of the Black Blood Mercenary Corps were Martial Masters and Great Martial Masters. There was also a Martial Spirit Realm expert who was killed by him in a single stroke. His strength must have reached the Martial Lord realm in that instant.”

“There’s something weird about him. I’ve never seen such a guy.”

The disciples of Ziyue Cave Heaven could not help but discuss Xiao Luo in low voices. Now, all of them had cast Duck Emperor aside. It was not that they were snobbish, but the strength that Xiao Luo had displayed was too shocking, making them completely unable to understand the reason behind it.

Zuo Xiangming raised his hand to stop them. “Brother Xiao must have developed some skills to mask his true strength, which made him look just like a Martial Master on the surface,” he guessed. “Alright, stop talking about Brother Xiao. No one likes being talked about behind their back.”

The senior brothers and sisters nodded obediently.

“Hey, young man, what are you waiting for? Come and help me bandage my wound!”

Duck Emperor hated the feeling of being neglected. Although it shouted at the top of its lungs to gain attention, it had actually almost recovered.

The Master God of Chaos had taught him two excellent skills: One was the ability to recover strength and heal, and the other was the ability to escape. In the past 500 years, he had been practicing these skills. Thus, he had certainly mastered them. The penetration of a short arrow was child’s play to him.

The six Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples did not treat Duck Emperor differently though they had learned that it was not a beast demon. Instead, they went forward and carefully treated its wounds. The three female disciples even carefully blew air into the wounds with their mouths. They were extremely considerate.

Xiao Luo saw all of this and had judged that the people from Ziyue Cave Heaven were still quite decent.

In the past 500 years, Duck Emperor had never received any care from anyone other than his own master. This was the first time it felt being cared for. Tears welled up in its eyes.

“Venerable Sir, what’s wrong?” Zuo Xiangming asked with concern.

“No...nothing. Something got into my eyes. Must have caused by the wind. Stupid wind!”

Duck Emperor, embarrassed, quickly added, “Don’t call me Venerable Sir. I’m actually not a beast demon. I only know how to speak the human language. I can’t bear the title of ‘Venerable Sir’.”

“Then how should we address you?” a female disciple asked curiously.

Duck Emperor thought for a moment before saying in all seriousness, “Call me Grandpa Duck. I’m over 500 years old. Yeah, you can just call me Grandpa Duck.”

Uh...

The six disciples from Ziyue Cave Heaven were all stunned. How could it still take advantage of them? The duck was actually more than 500 years old? But it was just like an ordinary duck in all respects. It would be reasonable for us to call it grandpa if it was long in the tooth, but...

“We still want to call you Venerable Sir. In our hearts, you will always be a beast demon and our Venerable Sir,” Zuo Xiangming said thoughtfully.

A male disciple quickly echoed, “That’s right, Venerable Sir. You stood up for us and faced the Black Blood Mercenary Corps alone just now. Your figure was too imposing and handsome. You are fully deserving of being a venerable sir.”

“Oh? Is that so? Am I really handsome?” Duck Emperor immediately became elated.

“You are super handsome!” a female disciple said firmly.

The duck laughed and quacked. “I’m flattered. I’m flaterred. Thank you.””

Duck Emperor was overjoyed. It shouted excitedly at the top of its lungs and even started humming a song. It sounded awful, but it did not care and kept right on, looking smug.

Zuo Xiangming and the others wanted to cover their ears several times, but they were afraid of hurting Duck Emperor’s self-esteem. So they had no choice but to hold it in for the moment. All of them looked miserable.

“If you dare to keep on singing, I’ll roast you!”

Xiao Luo could not tolerate this any longer. He picked up a wooden stick and threw it at Duck Emperor, who was treating this place as a stage to showcase its bad singing. The wooden stick hit Duck Emperor’s head and knocked it to the ground.

“Motherf*cker!” Duck Emperor cursed and got up. But when it came to its senses and realized that it could not defeat Xiao Luo, it had no choice but to endure it. “You are envious, Xiao Luo. You must be jealous that I can sing so well!”

Xiao Luo opened one eye and spoke indifferently, “I know a singer when I hear one, and you’re not.”

“I am a master in songs. How could the song I sang not be nice? Young man, tell him, did the song I hummed just now sound nice?” Duck Emperor wouldn’t let it go. It really believed it could sing well.

Well...

The six people from Ziyue Cave Heaven were instantly caught in a dilemma. It was indeed unpleasant to hear. If they told the truth, it would hurt the duck’s ego, right? But if they say Duck Emperor was a good singer, wouldn’t it be a slap to Xiao Luo’s face? So what should they do then?

“Who was singing just now, disturbing my mind and causing me to fail my breakthrough? Come out and accept your death!”

Just as they were hesitating, a cold voice was suddenly heard. Then, a huge snakehead emerged from the forest, spitting out its scarlet tongue, and its entire body was blood-red. It was a giant python. The body of the giant python was as thick as a large water tank. Its body emitted an indescribable stench. The intense pressure caused the six people from Purple Moon Grotto to break out in cold sweat.

Beast...beast demon?

It was actually a giant python beast demon. It was truly a powerful beast demon.

‘Run, Venerable Sir, Brother Xiao. Hide away!’ Zuo Xiangming shouted subconsciously and turned to escape. Against a beast demon, they had no ability to resist. The only choice left for them was to run.

“You b*stard still trying to escape? Not one of you can escape!”

The giant python’s triangular eyes were filled with rage. It swung its huge tail. In an instant, the earth shook, and the trees trembled. Five to six towering trees snapped, and their large trunks were sent flying before crashing heavily onto the ground, blocking Zuo Xiangming’s escape route.

It twisted its huge body and slowly moved from the forest. “I was finally sensing the opportunity to break through, but you damn humans sang such a terrible song and disturbed my mind, eventually resulting in my failure to break through. If I want another opportunity to break through, I will have to wait at least a hundred years. You guys f*cking deserve to die! Tell me, who was the one singing just now? I will make him beg for death!”

The six disciples from Ziyue Cave Heaven glanced at Duck Emperor.

Duck Emperor shuddered. After meeting the giant python’s gaze, it hurriedly pointed at Xiao Luo. “Quack, quack, quack!”

It didn’t dare to speak the human language anymore, so it used its duck language to subtly tell the giant python that Xiao Luo was the one who sang, tempting to throw the blame on Xiao Luo.

“What nonsense are you saying? Did you sing it just now?” The giant python glared at it coldly.
