Chapter 297 - Pitiful Scarlet Thunder Boa

"Human, are you toying with us? Hiss!" One of the Scarlet Thunder Boa stared at Jiu Shen with a chilling gaze that could make anyone else tremble in fear. A heavy pressure descended onto Jiu Shen, making the ground beneath him crumble into pieces!

Facing this colossal pressure, Jiu Shen remained unperturbed. He even glanced at the two giant boas and motioned them to get inside the cage. It was as if he was conning a kid to come to him with a piece of candy...

"Insolent human! Die!" The other Scarlet Thunder Boa failed to hold back its anger and it abruptly opened its gaping mouth and strike at Jiu Shen with lightning speed!

"What a pity. Initially, I wanted to capture the both of you alive, but it seems like you prefer going inside this cage as a corpse..." Jiu Shen muttered in regret. He then extended his hand and stopped the charging giant snake from moving any closer.

"What?!" The two savage beasts were stunned in disbelief after seeing this. This human had actually managed to stop an Origin God Realm Scarlet Thunder Boa’s fierce charge with just a single hand?!

Jiu Shen increased the strength of his grip which immediately ripped out the snout of the attacking snake!

Hiss!!

The gigantic boa writhed in pain after having its snout ripped out of its face. Blood spurted out of its wound, painting the ground red.

Rumble! Rumble!

Following the snake’s violent writhing, it dismantled the trees and earth around it, causing a small earthquake within the area.

"Are you trying to destroy the Merciless Lightning Dao Fruit? Sigh..." Jiu Shen was slightly worried about the spiritual plant and it would be a pity if it is destroyed by this snake.

Jiu Shen tossed the snake’s snout to the ground and pounced towards the squirming creature. He then raised his hand in midair and slammed it hard into the snake’s head.

Bang!

The Scarlet Thunder Boa whose brain was protected by its thick metal-like skull immediately lost consciousness after Jiu Shen knocked it down with a slap.

Its huge body crashed on the ground, leaving the remaining Scarlet Thunder Boa dumbfounded at the absurd scene.

The two of them had been overlords of this entire region and they even control the life and death of the millions of savage beasts, but its companion was actually swiftly taken out by a human who had suddenly arrived in their territory? Just who was this guy?

Jiu Shen took the unconscious boa and placed it inside the cage he made earlier. He didn’t kill it since doing so would only make the meat of the giant snake lose its perfect texture for cooking. He had to prepare a few ingredients first before he would slaughter these snakes.

After he had taken the giant boa inside the cage, Jiu Shen shifted his gaze to the remaining Scarlet Thunder Boa. His unchanging expression made the savage beast’s heart skip a beat. It did not even dare to escape after seeing Jiu Shen’s terrifyingly calm eyes.

’I’m doomed! To think that someone like me would end up dying in the hands of a human. What a twist of fate...’ The giant snake chose to submit after witnessing Jiu Shen’s tyrannical power. Even its companion was easily subdued by the human, so how could it fare any better? So instead of suffering, it might as well give up.

"Human, I submit. I will go inside the cage." The huge snake said in a desolate tone.

Jiu Shen who was prepared for a fierce battle was slightly taken aback, but he still nodded his head and opened the cage as he beckoned for the snake to come inside.

Seeing his gestures, the giant snake slowly went inside the cage with its head down. Two ancient savage beasts who had been overlords of the Divine Beast Continent were captured by a single human without even putting up an effort. If this news got out, all savage beasts in the Divine Beast Continent would surely be shocked. After all, these two colossal beasts were genuine Origin God Realm beings and they had been undefeated for hundreds of years.

"At least you are a bit smarter than this little snake right here." Jiu Shen said to the obedient creature.

Hearing this, the snake cursed Jiu Shen in its mind, but it did not dare voice out anything.

Jiu Shen then kept the cage and placed it inside his space earring. His space earring was a bit special and it could house a living creature inside. Of course, this was only possible because it was made by the system using its mighty power.

After storing the cage inside his space earring, Jiu Shen walked towards the Merciless Lightning Dao Tree and stared at it with a calm look.

Zap. Zap.

Numerous strands of lightning touched Jiu Shen’s body, but he remained unaffected by it. He then uprooted the entire tree in a casual manner. He did not even use a tool meant for plucking spiritual plants... If a high-level alchemist would have seen Jiu Shen’s unconcerned way of plucking spiritual plants, they would have spurted blood from the sight before fainting.

"System, open the Spirit World for me." Jiu Shen commanded.

A door emerged in front of Jiu Shen and he immediately stepped inside without hesitation. He then searched for a suitable place for the Merciless Lightning Dao Tree and temporarily planted it right there.

’Maybe I should draw an array formation to protect this thing." Jiu Shen said after he had replanted the spiritual plant in a new location. And so, Jiu Shen used more than thirty minutes to draw a strong protection array formation to prevent the native savage beasts of the Spirit World from destroying the spiritual plant.

Jiu Shen glanced at his work in satisfaction and after seeing that there is nothing wrong with it, he stepped out of the Spirit World.

"Time to gather a few more ingredients. I won’t waste this opportunity right here since it might be long before I can come back to this place." Jiu Shen muttered to himself before vanishing from his spot.

Jiu Shen spent more than a week gathering ingredients all over the Divine Beast Continent. With a detailed map inside his head, Jiu Shen was able to get the highest-quality spiritual plants. He even managed to capture a few more savage beasts! With this, he has finally achieved his goal here.

After that, Jiu Shen teleported in front of Theia and the tigers, making them a little bit surprised. He had been gone for only a week. They had even thought that Jiu Shen would need more than several months to gather spiritual plants, but who knew that it only took him less than several days to do this...

"Master, welcome back." Theia bowed at Jiu Shen in respect.

"Welcome back, sect master!" The tigers greeted reverently.

"It is time to go back to the Profound Dragon Continent." Jiu Shen muttered in a calm voice. It was finally time for them to go back home.

***

A week ago, Yang Zenke and the others reported Crimson Sun Sect’s actions to their sect elders who immediately went mad upon hearing their words. However, the elders of the Heavenly Sword Tower did not immediately launch their counterattack to the Crimson Sun Sect.

"Lord Ren, allow me to lead the experts of our sect to punish the Crimson Sun Sect for their actions! No one is allowed to bully members of our sword tower! If news of this goes out, everyone might take us lightly." Hu Xiandao said angrily after hearing the report of Yang Zenke and the others.

A few elders also voiced out their agreement and support.

"Alright. Lord Hu Xiandao, I will give you the power to command some elders and disciples to punish the Crimson Sun Sect. Make sure to kill the sect master of that sect!" Ren Shuang ordered in a chilling tone. He was also angry at the Crimson Sun Sect for their deed. He had promised his master that he would protect everyone from harm and that he would never let anybody hurt them, but this sect actually tried to capture one of their disciples!? Unforgivable!

Hu Xiandao and the other elders of the Heavenly Sword Tower could sense the anger in his voice, so they hurriedly nodded their heads after hearing his command.

"We will bring their sect master’s head with us!" Hu Xiandao patted his chest in a confident manner. He was not blindly arrogant, he was just confident that no one was strong enough to stand in his way. After all, he had grown stronger these past few days."

"I will ask Elder Hestia to follow you. With her presence, I am assured that nothing would go wrong." Ren Shuang said as he calmed himself down. From what he could remember, the Crimson Sun Sect was not ordinary. It was under the leadership of a mysterious sect master whose strength was currently unknown by everyone other than him and Jiu Shen... That was also why he would ask Hestia to join Hu Xiandao’s party.
