17 Escaping the morons (1/2)

Bai Yun stood on his knees. He was panting as he stared coldly. The terrifying killing intent that was hidden deep within, burst out for the first time since he woke up.

Bai Shan felt cold. He felt as if he temperature had fallen to below freezing. His body trembled involuntarily. He felt a fear, as if his natural predator had locked his eyes on him. He then shrugged off the thought, thinking that it must be impossible. How can he, a genius of the Bai clan, be scared by a cripple.

Bai Yun trembled and asked hoarsely. ”Why?”

Bai Shan said. ”What do you mean why. Ever since you hurt me outside the library, I have been looking for a chance to kill you.”

Bai Yun was stunned. His face was not only covered by bandages, he had also deployed the Assassin God's disguise technique. If it could be seen through this easily, it did not deserve its fame.

Seeing the shock in his eyes, Bai Shan started laughing. His posse started laughing along him.

”Did you think that you could hide from my greatness just because you hid your face. After all morons will always be morons. How could you hide from my great intellect. I noticed you a long time ago. After all I am...” Bai Shan started prattling on about his greatness.

Bai Yun frowned. Bai Shan hadn't even realized about the disguise technique. This means that he made a mistake. He had to rectify it. ”How?” He asked.

Bai Shan stopped talking and grinned. ”Even if you covered up your whole body, you still have your old storage ring. Idiots like you would never have thought of it. Why do you think I let you go back then. I followed after you right after you entered the weed valley.”

Bai Yun immediately understood the problem. He decided to rectify it, and hide the storage ring when he was around other people, or at lest wear a different one.

”Aren't you afraid of being found out that you killed me.” Bai Yun asked.

”Of course not. We are in the beast garden. No one will know that you are dead. And even if they did, how will anyone know that it was I who did it. ” Bai Shan replied confidently.

'We are in the presence of royalty. All hail the king of morons.' Bai Yun thought, elevating Bai Shan's status in his mind.

If he died, his father would eventually realize it. Then, he would definitely come in search of him. The powers of someone who had reached the dao step was simply unfathomable to someone like Bai Shan. Since he had already told the butler the main places he wanted to go to in the beast garden, his father would definitely look here. For someone in the qi condensation stage, the weed valley might be incredibly large, buta dao seed stage cultivators could cover this entire valley with a look.At that time, even if these morons could kill him, he would definitely find out that Bai Yun was killed by a cultivator and not a beast. The chances of him letting it go was non existent. Even if a dao stage cultivator could not turn back time like a immortal stage cultivator could, he had multiple ways of finding the truth, along with the fact this moron was seen near here at the time.

On top of it all, add the fact that this moron would definitely brag about this to someone, and that there were over a dozen of his underlings here, with at least one of them being a spy for a prince, his death was all but written. All that is left would be a single question. Who would kill him.

Would it be Bai Yun or his father.

If the king of morons,thought that just because he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation, and because Bai Yun was in such a horrible state, he would be easy to kill, then he would be severely mistaken.

Bai Yun quickly took stock of his injuries. His right arm was useless. His left arm had many cracks, but it was still usable. One of his soul tendrils was damaged, and temporarily unusable. His eyesight was blurry, and his perception nearly unavailable. His qi whirlpool was only half full, and his organs were only settling down from the attacks of the python.

He had to retreat.

”You were nearly killed by such a tiny snake. Man you are weak. I would have killed it one strike.” Bai Shan said looking at the grey rock python. ”But I must thank it. After you entered the weed valley, why would you change your direction so much. We lost you immediately. If it wasn't for that scream, I would have been unable to find you.”

'Next time I find a grey rock python, I will definitely let you fight it.' While cursing Bai Shan to death, Bai Yun started creeping back, at the same time keeping an eye on the posse.

Thankfully true to the name of the moron group, they hadn't spread out to cover him, but simply walked behind Bai Shan with a snicker on their faces. This gave him a lot of room to retreat. He was currently in the middle of the clearing. Once he reached the weeds, he could definitely escape successfully.
