The Almighty Sword Domain

Unexpected Events

Within the pitch-black and dense forest, obscure campfires twinkled swiftly and lively, and carried strands of warmth and light into the deadly silent night.

Some people were sitting cross-legged around the campfire.

Yang Ye turned his back on the large tree, and the branch in his hand often jolted towards the flames in front of him. From the conversation they had earlier, Yang Ye gained a slightly better understanding of the three of them.

The three of them were from a city called Green Mountain City, and it was the city closest to the Sword Sect. Man'zi and Qing Hong were actual siblings, and the generations of their families before them were all mercenaries who relied on the Darkbeast hunt to provide for their families. As for Xiao Hei who had not spoken all this time, it was not because he had a cold and indifferent attitude, but rather because Xiao Hei was mute!

"Sister Yang, are you really not a disciple of the Sword Sect?" Right now, Man'zi looked at Yang Ye and asked with a hint of curiosity.

When they heard Man'zi, Qing Hong and Xiao Hei also looked at Yang Ye. Needless to say, the scene from earlier where Yang Ye cut the Twin Wing Python with a single attack completely shocked them. This kind of strength was simply not something that an ordinary independent cultivator or a disciple from a small clan could achieve.

When they thought about how they had asked Yang Ye to clear the battlefield, their faces could help but burn a little in shame.

“I can't be considered as one for now. Is correct…." Yang Ye stopped pushing the flames with a branch and looked towards the three of them before he said, “What do you all want to do if you meet your friend, Xiu Yuan, in the future?

When they heard this name, all of their expressions became slightly unsightly.

Qing Hong snorted coldly while he did not hide the disgust in his face at all. He said, “This guy had no pure intentions when he joined us. I initially thought that he was just a little proud, yet I never imagined that he would be so cowardly. He completely abandoned his friends in search of survival. I will definitely shoot an arrow at his head when I see him again!

Yang Ye shook his head and smiled as he looked at the enraged Qing Hong. It seemed like Xiu Yuan who was running away on his own really made him angry.

Man'zi shook his head and sighed before he said, "Forget it, let's have nothing to do with such a person in the future."

"Forgetit?" Qing Hong said with a little anger, “Sister, if not for Yang Ye, the three of us would have already died under the Twin Wings Python attack. How can we forget this just like that?”

Xiao Hei revealed a grim expression as he casually swung the dagger in his hand into the air, and he used this kind of method to show his displeasure towards Xiu Yuan.

As he looked at the two of them who were angry, Man'zi shook his head and sighed before he said, “How could I possibly want to forget about it? Qing Hong, you are right. If Brother Yang is not here when he escaped in the middle of a battle, then it will definitely cause us to be annihilated. However, all of you are unaware that his elder brother is a general in Green Mountain City. If we deal with him and the news about him spreads, then we won't be able to get a foothold in Green Mountain City.”

When they heard this, Qing Hong and Xiao Hei's lips moved, yet they remained silent in the end. One would at least have to be a First Heaven Realm expert to become a general in Green mountain City, and such an expert was not someone they could contend with.

After a moment of silence, Qing Hong gave a cold snort and said, “We can't just let it go. After we return to Green Mountain City, we will spread the word about him leaving his friends. Let's see who will allow him to join their group.”

Man'zi and Xiao Hei nodded when they heard this. If they did nothing, then they themselves would feel a little sad in their hearts. As Qing Hong said, as long as they spread the news, then Xiu Yuan would truly be a disgrace to the mercenary world in Green Mountain City. After all, escaping in the middle of a battle and leaving friends was taboo in the mercenary world.

“Is Green Mountain City close to Southpeace City?” Meanwhile, Yang Ye suddenly asked this question.

The three of them were dumbfounded and did not know why Yang Ye was asking such a question. Man'zi smiled and said, “Although we have never been to Southpeace City, it should be close. Because we sometimes encounter mercenaries from Southpeace City who come to the Grand Myriad Mountains to hunt Darkbeast.”

As he spoke here and glanced at Yang Ye before he said, "Could it be Brother Yang from Southpeace City?"

Yang Ye nodded, and then he glanced at them while looking dreamy.

When they saw Yang Ye did not want to talk about it, the three of them were very reasonable and did not continue to ask him.

After a moment of silence, Man'zi seemed to feel that something was wrong, and she stood up and looked around. The surroundings were completely pitch-black and a deadly silence. He frowned and thought for a moment before he said to Xiao Hei who was sitting quietly at the side, “Xiao Hey, let's sprinkle the Beast King's dung around us. It was too quiet, and something seemed to be wrong.

Xiao Hei nodded when he heard this, and then the two of them walked away.

Yang Ye was thinking of something when Qing Hong suddenly sat down beside him. As she looked at Yang ye, an unusual streak of light flashed past Qing Hong's beautiful eyes. Yang Ye's face was a little thin, the look on her face was clear, and she had graceful black hair. Although he could not be called a beautiful boy, but he was still handsome as well. Of course, the key was Yang Ye's strength. Even though he was only an Profound at the seventh rank of the Mortal Realm, his strength could be described as terrifying.

She had a slightly good impression of Yang Ye because Yang Ye's gaze was not as intrusive as others' gazes towards her. So, he was guarding Yang Ye all this time. But when he saw Yang Ye standing in front of him like a battle god and splitting the Twin Wings Python into two with a single strike, he knew that he had a trace of unusual feelings towards this young man from then onward.

When he sensed the gaze of the beautiful woman by his side, Yang Ye turned to look at Qing Hong before he said, “What's wrong? Is there something on my face?”

Qing Hong hurriedly withdrew his gaze while his face reddened slightly. Fortunately, it was already late at night, so it was impossible to see clearly. After a moment of silence, Qing Hong once again looked at Yang Ye and said, “Sic, because your strength is so great, why don't you refuse when we ask you to clear the battlefield or when Xiu Yuan mocks you. many times?"

Yang Ye smiled and said, “Better not to stand out. It's fine if one's strength is amazingly great, but if it's a power like mine, then there are at least a lot of people with powers greater than mine within the Grand Myriad Mountains. If I keep a high profile, then I will really pursue death.” A year of living as a Labor Student made him understand many principles. If one were to maintain a high profile while not possessing any strength, then one would truly be nearing death. Just like Manager Xu and Du Xiu, if they remained humble at the Labour Peak, then they might not face such consequences.

A wisp of surprise flashed past Qing Hong's eyes. Living as a mercenary all year long allowed him to witness all kinds of geniuses, and almost all those powerful geniuses were extremely arrogant and looked as if they were extremely afraid of others not knowing their strength. On the other hand, this young man before him did not possess the arrogance of those geniuses at all, and he knew how to remain humble.

This kind of mentality and maturity caused him to be really a little surprised.

After making small talk for a while, all the others besides Man'zi had gone to rest. Although the Beast King's feces had been sown around him, Man'zi and the others did not dare to be rash at all. So, they took turns just in case.

Far away at night, the dense forest was covered in pitch darkness. Within this pitch-black and silent forest, the bonfire in front of Yang Ye was like a terrifying flame that looked gloomy and a little frightening.

Feel~

Suddenly, hissing echoed in the originally silent forest. It was only one hiss at the beginning, but it seemed like more than a hundred in a short period of time, and in a few moments later, it seemed like the entire forest was filled with hisses!

Yang Ye and the others woke up when the first hiss echoed, and Yang Ye was just about to stand up when Qing Hong who was lying on his side put his hands in his hands before lightly shaking his head at him.

When he saw the serious expression Qing Hong had, Yang Ye looked towards Man'zi and Xiao Hei who also had serious expressions, and when he saw them shook their heads towards him as well, he knew that he could not move at this moment. . He immediately nodded slightly, then remained in place and quietly watched the situation develop.

For a time, the four of them were like statues.

The hissing did not end. On the contrary, their numbers grew in number, and by relying on the lighting of the weak campfire, some of them were able to see many things writhing around him. Fortunately, the fall of the Beast King was strewn around him, so that the writhing objects did not crawl towards them, and they squirmed outside the Beast King's dirt circle.

As they stared at those writhing objects, Yang Ye and the others felt their scalps slightly numb. These things are naturally snakes. If there were only a few tens of snakes, then everything would not be frightening at all. Now, however, there were at least more than 10,000 snakes around him. Moreover, there were even some extremely large pythons.

Right now, Yang Ye really wanted to ask the beautiful woman by his side about what was really going on, but she did not dare to ask him. He was afraid as soon as he asked about it, then the snakes would attack without fear. Although his strength was not weak, if he was surrounded by these snakes at night, then he had little chance of survival.

Especially now that it was the Snake Forest. He did not know how many snakes there were in the Snake Forest, but definitely the number was not small. When he thought about being surrounded by countless solid snakes, Yang Ye's scalp felt a little numb.

It was not only Yang Ye who did not understand what was going on, even Man'zi and the others did not understand what was going on. In the past, they had rested many times in the Snake Forest, but they had never faced such a situation. So, Man'zi and the others were both frightened and confused.

More and more snakes arrived in the surroundings, and they were unceasingly moving to surround them. Snakes crept at each other and formed pile after pile, such a scene caused Man'zi and the others to shudder in fear. Fortunately, the snakes did not dare to break through the area surrounded by the Beast King's feces, otherwise, all of them would definitely die.

Qing Hong's hand pinched Yang Ye's hand forcefully while her forehead was covered in cold sweat. In the end, he just closed his eyes. However, the countless hissing sounds still made him feel frightened, and then this terror turned into a force that squeezed and tortured Yang Ye's hands.

Even with Yang Ye's skin being as hard as copper, he still felt pain from it. He turned his head to glance at Qing Hong yet saw his eyes tightly closed, and his face was pale while his body trembled slightly. After which, he turned his head to look at Man'zi and Xiao Hei, and he saw the two were in the same condition as well.

Yang Ye frowned. He knew that if this continued, then they would definitely go crazy because of the pressure they were under in such a situation. Besides, it's okay when they're quiet now. But once they moved, then the surrounding snakes would definitely surge fearlessly towards them like a tide.

At that time, all of them would definitely not be able to escape death!

Easy, easy! When he thought of the scene of them being surrounded and attacked by a myriad of snakes, Yang Ye forced himself to calm down. He knew that such a situation must not have happened in the past, otherwise, they would definitely not have chosen to rest in the Snake Forest. So, even though it didn't happen in the past, it happened now, and the reason should be because they offended these snakes.

We offended these snakes? When he thought up to here, Yang Ye's brows were tightly united, and he tried hard to think of the reason.

Swooshes! Swooshes!

Right at this moment, the snakes ended up ignoring the Beast King's feces, and they attacked wave after wave in the direction of Yang Ye and the others….
