Chapter 688: Dumb Immortal (1/2)

Sam looked at Hou Yi who is currently feeling the effects of poison.

He is wondering how long he would take to realize.

When someone thinks of fighting Sam, the poison wouldn't be the first thought. They often forget about it, because of the rest of his dominant abilities.

And Hou Yi did the same. Even when he is suffering the corroding effect of his wounds. He just attributed it with the property of the sword itself which is true.

But since the corroding poison is the dominant one of all, and his anger clouding his stupid mind, he couldn't focus on the changes.

Sam smirked at the thought that even an immortal is this easy to fool when he is this conceited.

Hou Yi's energy ran rampant as if he didn't care anymore. But Sam noticed that he is expelling so much energy and burning his blood in process so that he could get rid of the poison.

This is one of the crudest method of eliminating the poison from the body.

But Sam didn't care, he just made his move and was about to use the same method once again. But this time, after the shadow blocked the attack, Sam didn't make the follow up move. He halted in his tracks and puked a mouthful of blood.

The shadow was destroyed completely. It is a permanent destruction making it impossible to recover.

Sam looked at Hou Yi coldly.

”Do you think that you are the only one who used necromancy against me?”

Sam didn't reply and was about to make his move. Once again another arrow came and he tried to block it with the sword. But the arrow seemed to have disappeared into thin air before he felt the piercing pain on his left shoulder as the energy ran rampant.

He once again halted in his tracks and bit on the handle of the sword in his right hand as he used the now free hand to remove the arrow.

”You are also not the first one who used a sword to cut my arrows.” Hou Yi continued with disdain almost materializing around him.

Sam increased his speed to the limit as he tried to dodge the arrows now that he couldn't block it.

But it turned out to be futile, the best he can do is get a graze on his skin. As for completely dodging it is almost impossible.

Sam thought for a bit and this time, when he swung the sword, the spiritual energy rippled in the air and the direction of the arrow changed.

Sam used the ripple style and when the arrow didn't connect, Hou Yi couldn't help but feel stunned. So, one of Sam's light sword ray hit him in the chest.

Sam followed with the attacks, but Hou Yi is smart enough to not stand there like an idiot.

Sam who now noticed that the ripple style is working, didn't hold back anymore.

He decided to use it and used to full extent and now not even a single arrow can make him budge. He just ran straight towards Hou Yi to reduce the distance. But it is hard as that guy is not so weak in terms of physique and the speed.

The speed is not as fast as Sam, but this guy can integrate his movements well with his archery.

No matter how much of a shit he is, damn is he good at battle?

The exchange was intense, Sam started shifting to his elements as he battled so that he could mess up the rhythm of Hou Yi.

The battle became intense. Sam is having a hard time. In fact this is the hardest battle he ever fought in a while. The pressure is increasing. Even though, the fights with Sun Wukong and Kartikeya are hard, they are meant for learninig.

They taught Sam through a fight. But now it is pure enmity. Sam's experience of all these days is not enough to even the field with an immortal even if the latter reduced the cultivation.

All of a sudden, Sam halted his attacks.

He could see two ways from this point. One is to use the method with his flute and all his elements and the second one is to use his gadgets.

Both of them had his pros and cons.

The first method will definitely work, but Sam is not exactly sure as he would be dead tired after the attack was over and since this is just a duplicate body of Hou Yi, he might be able to find some loophole over the situation and kill him in his weakened state.

Sam should be in a condition that any trick Hou Yi employed must take a certain amount of time which would give him a chance to escape or someone to intervene.

As for why he is confident someone would intervene that thought is supported by the fact that Hou Yi suddenly changed his mind out of nowhere from trying to kill him to giving generous rewards.

He knew that something must have changed in such a short period of time. So, he gave up on the first method and opted to the second.

Sam's body turned to a brown rocky texture as he used his earth element. His arms expanded as a large rock appeared in it out of thin air.

Hou Yi looked at it with a disdainful smile. He didn't expect that Sam would resort to this method. The only thought in his mind was how to torture Sam as he sensed Sam's despair from this method.

Sam threw the rock straight at Hou Yi and another rock appeared in his second hand. He started throwing rocks one after another as if he wanted to kill Hou Yi with these rocks.

Hou Yi smiled as he made some flashy moves and shot the arrows at the rocks.

Sam smiled at his action and his body turned transparent as he used the water element. All of this happened within a second.
