507 The Fatal Combination of the Falcon and the Snake! (1/2)
”Who is this? Can I ask which of the other two Holy Lands' people have come here? I request that you show yourself to prevent a misunderstanding from affecting our friendship!”
The Huang Ancestor had a very cautious look on his face. That one sentence had been enough for him to assess that this person was a veteran. Those words had been simple, but he had realized that this person was extremely strong. In fact, he had even disregarded the insult concealed in this individual's words because of this reason, and had asked this question instead of retaliating. Even the tone of his voice had changed. And, that's because he had quickly judged that this newcomer's strength was extremely high.
It must be mentioned that those words of insult were nothing more than a trivial matter when it came to the assurance of his safety in front of such danger. Huang Tai Yang was a man who possessed hundreds of years' worth of experience. So, how could he not understand that truth?
[The Jun Family has such an expert!]
[And, listening to his voice leaves to judge that his strength may not be weaker than mine.]
Huang Tai Yang was extremely shocked at this moment.
[It seems that I've underestimated the Jun Family. This extremely strong expert and that Great Master Solitary Eagle can become a huge threat to me if they join hands. In fact, they can even pose a mortal threat to me!]
Huang Tai Yang had arrived at the Jun Family with the intention of blackmailing them for the Bone Tempering Pills. However, the thought had quickly dispelled from his mind. In fact, he had even started looking around for an escape route… And, that was because his sharp perception ability had made him realize that he may have walked into a great danger. He felt as if one false move could ruin everything. In fact, it could also result in his funeral.
His many hundreds of years of experience in the wider society had tempered his instincts. And, the Huang Ancestor had always trusted in his instincts.
There was a light rustling sound as a green-clad girl appeared beside Solitary Eagle. She looked at Huang Tai Yang in a cold manner, and spoke, ”It's me.”
Mei Xue Yan was the one who had spoken those words of insult in the beginning. But, the person who had appeared in the open was — the Snake King!
Huang Tai Yang's eyes opened wide as he stared at her. He had thought that the person who had spoken out would be a Great Master Level expert. He had expected this individual to be old in terms of age… like he-himself was. In fact, he had imagined an old lady with wrinkled skin and a hunched back. But, he had never expected that this individual would turn out to be such a beautiful young girl. He couldn't help but ask in stupefaction, ”That was you?”
This was the first time the Snake King and the Solitary Eagle were meeting after they had arrived at the Jun residence. It must be mentioned that their first meeting hadn't been on cordial grounds. Therefore, the Solitary Eagle had stared at her wide-eyed when he had first seen her appear at his side. His reaction would've been rather extreme if it hadn't been for his strong ability to control. In fact, he would've nearly cried out in surprise. However, he had restrained himself with great difficulty. But, the colors of surprise had still filled his eyes.
[How has the King of Poisons — the greatest of all the snake beasts — appeared here so suddenly?]
”What are you staring at, Falcon? So, you find it shocking that I've appeared here?” The Snake King snorted as she gave him a look of displeasure.
”Uh… the issue is… how did you show up here?” Solitary Eagle was stumped. He stammered as if his mind had short-circuited. [Shouldn't she have followed her senior back into the Tian Fa Forest? So, how did she suddenly show up at the Jun residence? Isn't this place too far north from her southern territory?]
”I followed you to here… he he…” the Snake King chuckled.
”Oh… So, that's what happened!” He looked at the Snake King, and traces of wonder filled his eyes. He then thought about when Jun Mo Xie had gone missing for two days at the Southern Heaven City. [Is it possible that he had gone to the Tian Fa Forest… and had ended-up charming the Snake King in that time? He's indeed a vigorous man!]
[Could he be called a vigorous man? No. Even the best of men couldn't pull this off!]
[It seems that Young Master Jun had met the Snake King in those two days. Moreover, they must've taken a fancy to each other, and would've fallen for each other. Thereupon, the Snake King would've gotten emotional over their relationship after Jun Mo Xie left Tian Fa. So, she must've followed him through our journey here. Moreover, I even remember that Jun Mo Xie used to vanish many times in those days. So, it turned out to be a matter of a lover's tryst!]
[Damn, this playboy! He even managed to fool around with a Beast King…]
Solitary Eagle had even drawn an outline, the dialogues, and the overall script for a drama in his head in such a short period of time. Moreover, he had even developed the connecting threads. And, the more he thought about it… the more he felt that those things would've possibly happened in that manner…
Solitary Eagle truly wanted to prostrate himself in admiration at this moment. [Who could've seduced such a beautiful woman even if she had hailed from the mortal society? But, that Young Master Jun has quietly managed to seduce a Beast King from Tian Fa! He's a very valiant man! His skill and charms are truly extraordinary!]
It had to be said that the Solitary Eagle's line of thinking was a bit excessive. But, it wasn't very far from the truth — he had merely mistaken the youngster's real target…
These two individuals were talking as if no one else was present there. However, Huang Tai Yang was a Great Master Level powerhouse from one of the Three Holy Lands. He was an extremely skilled person from the secret world. But, his questions had gone ignored and unanswered. A person with such an identity and cultivation had been given a cold shoulder, and was left to the side. Huang Tai Yang tried to endure this insult at first. But, the other two were merely talking after meeting each other, and weren't giving him any importance. This obviously made the Huang Ancestor very angry. His anger eventually broke out, and he roared. Then, he spoke-up in a malicious manner, ”You brats! How dare you give this Old Man no face? How dare you act like this Old Man isn't present here?! This Old Man will show you how fierce he is!”
A ”Hu” sound was heard as the silhouette of the ”ignored” Huang Tai Yang flew down from the top of the tower. His white hair started to move behind him. And, his hands made strange revolving gestures in the air as he fluttered downwards in a frustrated manner.
Everyone present on the scene suddenly felt a very strange sensation the moment his figure dropped down. It was a very abrupt feeling; everyone had suddenly felt that they had lost control over their bodies. This move seemed very awkward; even their mouths and noses felt blocked to the point of suffocation. And, they couldn't help but be shocked as a result.
That charging move by Huang Tai Yang had seemingly moved-away the air from this area. And, that big courtyard had seemingly become a vacuum zone as a result. In fact, it seemed that the central point of this anomaly had become some kind of swirling vortex of Xuan Qi. And, they felt as if this vortex was seemingly attracting their bodies to plunge towards itself.
However, an individual would surely be left to the mercy of Huang Tai Yang's manipulations if they were to fall into this vortex!
The results of this technique were somewhat similar that of the Word Cage. But, their relative strength differed by a massive margin. After all, this technique hadn't reached that level wherein the attacker would only have to raise their hand to deal with an enemy. But, this move was still capable of shocking everyone.
The four people present in that area circulated their Xuan strength at the same time. The one with the lowest strength amongst Jun Zhan Tian, Jun Wu Yi, Green Hunter, and Solitary Eagle was at the Sky Xuan level. Therefore, everyone had managed to react in time. However, the weaker ones would lose control if they were to fall into the range of this attack. The Jun Father-and-Son knew that they weren't strong enough, and would only be a burden to their side if they acted rashly. So, they quickly turned around, and ferociously tried to escape the swirling vortex's dominion. The Solitary Flacon waved his hand in order to toss the two away from the vortex's range. Jun Zhan Tian turned his body around once he had escaped to safety. However, he saw the hair of the Solitary Eagle and the Snake King fluttering in the air… They had already begun fighting Huang Tai Yang by this time!
The two of them had made similar kinds of movements. The Solitary Eagle had spread his arms, and had started to rotate in order to counteract the formidable pull from the center of the vacuum area. His two birdlike-claws were making screamed sounds in the wind! The Snake King was revolving in the opposite direction. Then, she suddenly became motionless for a second. Her body then shot up in the air, and charged at Huang Tai Yang in a manner similar to that of a slithering snake.
That wind screamed violently as the Solitary Eagle rose into the air. He had shot up like a bird of prey. He rose to a good height first. Then, he suddenly swooped down the next moment.
These two individuals had attacked from both above and below… like a soaring falcon and a venom-spitting snake. Moreover, their collaborative attack became nearly seamless in a flash!
The fatal combination of the falcon and the snake!
Huang Tai Yang shouted in a sharp tone, ”Those are insignificant moves! This is only like the splendor displayed by a small pearl!” His body suddenly started to revolve in a strange manner. It was like he had turned into nothingness. However, the entire sky was suddenly filled with millions of densely-packed fists the next moment. In fact, it seemed as if millions of people had shot their fists forwards.
Solitary Eagle roared, ”Ghostly Falcon!”
His body flew upwards as his claw bore-down in torrents in an earth-shattering manner. A green light flashed in the Snake King's eyes as this happened. Then, several hair-like-thin dark shadows shot out from her body. They then rocketed towards her enemy. They had charged towards his arms, legs, and his head.
Huang Tai Yang became flabbergasted for a second. Then, he snorted coldly, ”How can there be so many snakes in such a cold winter season!” His hands flapped, and those numerous shadows were sent flying in all directions. However, the Snake King and Solitary Eagle had approached close to his body by now.
There was a ”Bang!” as the three people were sent flying in three different directions. But, the three people hadn't even stopped moving backwards when they suddenly reversed their directions in unison; this led to the formation of dozens of their after-images. Then, they against swept towards the same area in a manner so violent that even thunderbolts wouldn't be able to dissuade them.
Jun Zhan Tian and Jun Wu Yi were on the same side as the Solitary Eagle and the Snake King. They could faintly see the three people's kicks and punches at first. But, they had barely blinked when the speed of those three increased rather exponentially. In fact, it was almost like the three had suddenly turned into shadows, and had gotten merged into one entity. There was only the violently screaming and ripping gale now. And, this gale was charging towards the north, south, east and west. These three individuals went fighting from the ground to the air… And then, from the air to the ground again…
Whatever place they crossed… turned into a mess! The flowers and leaves would scatter into the air. However, they would then be turned into weapons that would be used to attack the enemy. The flowers… the leaves… the bamboo-shoots… everything would be turned into weapons to be used for injuring one's opponent. In fact, these items were being used to such effect that they could even kill an individual!
Solitary Eagle and the Snake King were known for their speed and agility. The Eighth Great Master's ferocity was matchless, while the Green Hunter was peerlessly venomous. Falcon and snake are natural enemies. But, these two had combined their attacks in such a manner wherein their weaknesses were being concealed by the other's strengths. It must be mentioned that these two individuals were coordinating their moves for the first time. So, it wasn't fully seamlessly to honest. But, their combined powers were still rendering an effect that was enough to contend against an existence greater than the Great Master Level.
