Chapter 950: Pre-Battle

The two colorful pythons with such intimidating auras made Tang Xiu taken aback inwardly. He was keenly aware of the increasing bulged flesh on their heads which was apparently a precursor feature of these creatures before becoming aquatic dragons.

Prior to this, Tang Xiu himself had seen the Cruor Python raised by Ao Wei, yet that creature was far inferior compared to these two pythons in terms of strength and level. It could be said that any of these two creatures would be able to slay 10 Cruor Pythons easily.

What made Tang Xiu surprised, however, was these two black-robed old men themselves, who now sat on the boulder. Their faint power fluctuations made him feel a bit threatened.

“What, and who, are you people?”

After being silent for ten seconds, Tang Xiu shouted at them around 20 meters away.

Hiss… hiss…

The two old men simply didn’t pay attention to Tang Xiu at all—or it was more like they ignored his question. They steadfastly sat at their spot, eyes closed and motionless. On the contrary, the two colorful pythons were the ones to move and hiss, seemingly attempting to drive everyone away.

“Hmph!” after coldly snorting, Tang Xiu said in a heavy voice, “Very arrogant, aren’t you two geezers? I really hope you do have what it takes to be arrogant here. Nine Dragons Island is my territory. You now have a chance to scram at once; otherwise, you’ll lose your chance to leave.”

At this time, only then did one of them slowly open his eyes. As he lightly stood up, the staff in his hand suddenly radiated with a fluctuation of energy. His eyes, however, did not consist of just black and white, but also blue and grey, giving off a slightly enchanting vibe.

“What you said made me laugh, young man. Do you want to know who we are? You’re not entitled to know that. You may have many experts here, but getting rid of them is not impossible for us. However, I’ve heard that one needs to pay with money for anything that they want in the outside world. We didn’t bring much cash when we left our clan, but our children will. I can promise you money and you’ll leave this island.”

Tang Xiu slightly frowned and said, “I already told you that Nine Dragons Island is mine. I will never sell it—not even if you offer me a mountain of gold. Tell me, where do you come from?”

“Ah, ants are really pitiful.” The black-robed old man sighed, “These ants don’t know that death has arrived. The sacred God of the Celestial Wizard Clan once said that low-class people are stupid and stubborn in nature—only force can tame them. But I didn’t expect that even among ants, there would also be someone with the ability to see through the mystery of this island. Nevertheless, this island is bound to be acquired by my clan as there will be many of us coming here later. So right now, you are the ones that need a chance to live; else, it won’t be us who’ll die, but you instead.”

This made Tang Xiu’s complexion slightly change. He turned to look at Mo Awen, “The telecom tower has been built here and you can now contact the outside world by phone, correct?”

“It’s per your order, Boss!” said Mo Awen, “The telecommunication tower has been built and it’s already operational now, so we can contact the outside world by phone from here.”

Tang Xiu’s heart sank and he said with a grim face, “This Nine Dragons Island is mine and nobody can snatch it from me. You want to rob my territory, and the only path that remains is through slaughter. Nonetheless, I’ve been worrying about my men as well. Their power may have progressed rapidly, yet they have no enemies to sharpen their skills with and nobody to give them the experience of facing true powerhouses. You said your Celestial Wizard Clan is going to bring them here, huh? Might as well use Nine Dragons Island temporarily as their battlefield.”

Having said that, he turned to look at Mo Awu and ordered, “Contact Xiaoxue to send all core members, except those who are currently undertaking important missions. The rest are to come here!”

“Understood!” Mo Awu replied and paced backward in strides.

Tang Xiu then looked at the black-robed old man again and said, “Old geezers, I give you 3 minutes. If you stubbornly stay after that, then there’s no need to waste any more saliva.”

“No need for those three minutes.” The old man shook his head and said, “We won’t leave.”

“Jin Shi, He Xiong, Xue Sha, Gu Tao, Zhang Jue! The five of you kill these two wretched animals!” coldly shouted Tang Xiu.

“Affirmative!”

The five men under Jin Shi’s leadership complied as they instantly released their respective flying swords. As they unleashed the sword battle formation in an instant, their five figures flashed like shadows and appeared in front of the two giant pythons.

Whoosh, whoosh…

The two pythons spewed out two blobs of dark smoke. The blobs spread out quickly to shroud a radius of dozens of meters; if it wasn’t for the extreme speed that Tang Xiu and his men used to quickly move backward, they would have found themselves shrouded by the black fog.

However, Jin Shi’s group of five didn’t retreat and instead released their True Essence energy to fend off the black fog from entering their body. Relying on their feeble spiritual sense, they controlled their flying swords to form a twister of sword beams. In just a few seconds, hundreds of slashes had already attacked the two pythons.
