Everlasting Chapter 39: Greenjade-Eyed Gold Toad (2/2)
…
At that moment, Chen Feng, who was still under water, had finally steadied his body. His hands gripped the ground tightly as the undercurrents raged about.
Huh! That thing earlier should be the Fifth Senior Brother's flying sword. To think that one red line could instantly blow it up. Could a yao beast have appeared? Chen Feng thought to himself before standing up.
After Chen Feng steadied himself, he suddenly realized that there was something before him. When he could finally get a clear view of that something, his heart thumped violently. He felt as though his heart had stopped. Next, Chen Feng uttered ”Aiyah!” and jumped several steps backwards. Only then did he realize that his heart was furiously palpitating beyond his control.
A gigantic yao beast, the size of a building, was quietly crouching before Chen Feng. Two eyes, the size of a human face and the colour of green jade shone as they regarded Chen Feng.
”Green jade eyes! Could this be the Greenjade-eyed Gold Toad yao? This is a giant toad!” Chen Feng shouted inwardly.
The yao beast before him was a gigantic toad with a height of around four metres. Its pair of eyes radiated green jade light and its whole body was covered with gold-coloured warts, which radiated a dim gold-coloured light. Its huge mouth was capable of swallowing a whole building in one gulp.
”This is practically a small mountain! Such a big toad exists in this world?” Chen Feng's heart grew uneasy. This yao could probably gulp down even Concealed stage experts. Chen Feng was an existence that was insufficient to even fill the gaps between its teeth. Additionally, Chen Feng understood that those dead cultivators must have died to this yao beast.
Facing the gaze of the Greenjade-eyed Gold Toad, Chen Feng felt his whole body becoming stiff and every hair on his body stood up. He was completely incapable of moving. This was the pressure exerted by a superior onto a lower being, like a dragon looking down on an ant.
”Umm, umm, Great Immortal! He he, are these yours?” Chen Feng revealed a smile that was uglier than a sobbing face and forced his hand outwards. In his palms were the two Greenjade Magic Soulfruits.
The Greenjade-eyed Gold Toad remained motionless. It simply looked at Chen Feng. It was unknown what thoughts it had.
”Umm, Great Immortal, I was forced down by others. Would I have the courage to come down here otherwise? You are a Great Immortal with a magnanimous nature. I will leave these here. Can you please just let me go?” Seeing that the other party was not immediately attacking him, Chen Feng's mind raced quickly and he hurled his pride away and began to display his eloquent tongue. In face of such an existence, trying to put up a strong front will undoubtedly kill him. Having to wander about since young, Chen Feng had seen the many facets of humanity. He understood, in face of death, everything can be hurled to the wind.
”A minor cultivator who is not even at the Concealed stage dares to send himself to death's door.” The yao beast finally spoke up using its divine sense. Although no sound came from it, Chen Feng could clearly hear those words.
”I did not come here to die! I was just forced down here by others! They are all on top! There are many experts on top! You saw as well just now, didn't you? There was a flying sword here. If you have to kill someone, then go up and kill them. A minor cultivator like me is not even worth the time of a Great Immortal like you!” Seeing that the yao beast was seemingly on the verge of attacking, Chen Feng quickly blurted out.
”Sure enough, it is the Greenjade-eyed Gold Toad!” By then, Fifth Senior Brother and his two companions had arrived under water. Seeing the large yao beast, they revealed cautious expressions.
”Another three cultivators sending themselves to death's door. Coincidentally, I have not swallowed the souls of human cultivators in a long time.” As the Greenjade-eyed Gold Toad spoke, its eyes shone and a sphere of light imprisoned Chen Feng. Although Chen Feng could still struggle with his hands and legs, he was incapable of breaking free from the surrounding sphere of light.
”Attack!” Fifth Senior Brother shouted and a sword appeared in his hand. Purple-coloured energy flashed upon its surface. One glance was enough to tell that this was no common item.
Chi!
A sword beam cut open the waters before him, causing two great undercurrents to rush out into their surroundings.
Ding!
A soft ringing sound could be heard as the Greenjade-eyed Gold Toad remained immobile, allowing the sword beam to strike its body. Unfortunately, the sword beam, which had given off the image of incredible might, failed to cause even sparks to fly when it struck the body of the Greenjade-eyed Gold Toad. Naturally, it had also failed to break through its defence.
At the same time that Fifth Senior Brother attacked, the youngster in blue and the charming woman unleashed their attacks as well. Two flying swords flew forward, one in front and one behind, and struck the dim gold-coloured skin of the Greenjade-eyed Gold Toad.
Ding! Ding!
Another two soft ringing sounds rang out. Again, the attacks did nothing. Next, the two flying swords circled around to unleash sword energy under water, forming a canopy of luminescent sword beams. The canopy then moved forward, enveloping the Greenjade-eyed Gold Toad.
Following the attacks unleashed by the three, the waters beneath the pool began roiling once more and Chen Feng was thrown off his feet once more. He could only hear clanging sounds coming from the darkness ahead.
”Not good! This yao beast is too powerful! It is probably on the verge of undergoing Lightning Tribulation, let's leave!” There were traces of shock and dread in Fifth Senior Brother's voice.
Sou!
Suddenly, another red line streaked through. Following that, the youngster in blue uttered a wretched scream as a see-through hole appeared on his chest. The sphere of light enveloping him was shattered as well and the surrounding black waters quickly submerged the youngster in blue. The youngster in blue had only managed out two screams before going quiet.
