He thought he was the hunter, but in the end, he was actually the prey.
"Have you heard of this saying? The best hunters often appear as prey."
Song Shi teased.
Back then, when they made the deal, he felt that this guy was very likely to kill and rob him. Hence without a word, he threw out the most valuable magical equipment he had on him.
In the end, he guessed right. This guy had taken the bait.
"This is the first time I've been tricked by a rogue cultivator. You're really capable."
But Second Master Lu had a trump card. After that moment of panic, he regained his composure and activated a Defense-type talisman, forming rings of various protective shields.
The defensive Dharma treasures that looked like jade pendants on his waist also emitted more light. He felt a little more at ease and looked coldly at Song Shi. "Is that all you've got? It's still a little difficult for you to kill me."
Song Shi pursed his lips. He could not be bothered with whatever trump cards this fellow had. He approached Second Master Lu in a flash and slapped him.
Be it in terms of speed or cultivation, Second Master Lu was far inferior to Song Shi. In the blink of an eye, he was hit again.
Song Shi's slap was like a Whack-a-Mole. With a bang, the ground caved in, and the last portion of the Eight Limbed Snake's power was scattered.
Second Master Lu's entire body was like a wooden stake that had been smashed into the soil, leaving only his head behind. Layers of protective shields completely collapsed and spider web-like cracks appeared on the protective jade Dharma treasures amidst the unbearable sounds.
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and his eyes were filled with shock. What kind of power was this? Even a Martial Arts King who was good at close combat wouldn't be so powerful!
"Where's your trump card now?"
Song Shi frowned, "If you have it, take it out quickly. Otherwise, you won't have a chance anymore."
He had not died enough tonight, hence Song Shi was looking forward to the other party's trump card.
Second Master Lu was slightly stunned.
Was this what a normal person would say?
Shouldn't he kill him before he used his trump card?
He didn't quite understand what Song Shi was saying. He spat out a mouthful of blood and saliva and retorted, "A trump card will only appear when my life is in danger. Do you want to continue? Let me remind you that once you try to kill me, you will definitely die!"
"That's great!"
Excited, Song Shi raised his foot and stomped down.
The force under his feet was even stronger than that on his fists. Second Master Lu's protective Dharma treasures shattered like paper.
Just as Song Shi was about to continue stomping on this fellow, a ray of light suddenly shot out from the broken jade pendant and pushed Song Shi back with a bang.
"What's that!"
Song Shi stopped a hundred feet away and stared at the white light. A white snake that was only a few feet long was coiling around Second Master Lu's body.
"Demon?"
He frowned and sized it up.
The white snake looked at Song Shi coldly and spoke in human language. Its voice was cold, "A Foundation Establishment Cultivator activated the life-saving talisman that I left for you. Why are you so useless?"
"You scold me like that every time. You don't even know how strong he is!"
Second Master Lu crawled out with an ugly expression and stared at the white snake with a complicated gaze, "Since you think I'm useless, why did you give birth to me?"
"You!"
The white snake turned its head and stared at Second Master Lu, its eyes slightly cold. "You know why!"
The latter's eyes instantly turned red and his face contorted. He clenched his fists tightly and did not say anything else.
Song Shi was curious, "You're mother and son? Are you a human or a demon?"
Swoosh!
Her snake-like eyes locked onto Song Shi, "Since you've heard something you shouldn't have, it's time for you to go on your way."
Song Shi was not threatened at all. Instead, he muttered with a strange expression, "They're really mother and son. So you're actually a demon, tsk tsk."
BANG!
His chest suffered a heavy blow and his protective Will-O-Wisp was shattered. He was instantly sent flying and actually left the battle circle, breaking more than ten large trees that were one thousand feet away.
Song Shi did not even have time to react when he fell to the ground.
He did not see how the white snake attacked him.
No, snakes didn't have hands to begin with. It should be said that the mother and son duo attacked him.
"Spirit Body? No wonder!"
A young woman's voice sounded in his ears. Song Shi, who was about to wake up, saw a light. Then, his head hurt and he lost consciousness.
His soul was shattered by a cold force, and his soul was destroyed. The reward given by the system was doubled.
From the outside, Song Shi's head was pierced by a snake tail and he died a clean death.
The white snake pulled out its tail, and its figure clearly became illusory. It disappeared in a flash.
"Ding! You have been killed by the White Snake's Soul Clone. You have died and your soul has been destroyed. The reward is doubled…"
Upon hearing the system notification, Song Shi was shocked.
This thing was actually a Soul Clone? This thing seemed to be something that could only be cultivated by existences that surpassed the Nascent Soul realm, right?
As far as he knew, only those at the Semi-god Realm could create such a thing.
The white snake was actually a Soul Formation cultivator. Did Second Master Lu have such a terrifying background?
However, from their conversation, their relationship seemed to be a little special.
Sensing that the white snake had left, Song Shi still chose to revive on the spot. However, after reviving, he tried his best to restrain his aura.
This method was something he learned from the memories of the Blood-Robed old ghost. It was quite useful.
A thousand feet away, Second Master Lu was covered in mud. He stood beside the pit and looked at Song Shi with a sinister smile, "You want to kill me? Dream on!"
"If not for the Soul Clone I left behind, you would have died long ago!"
The white snake snorted and appeared at the side as if it had teleported. It said coldly, "This person can cultivate a Spirit Body at the Foundation Establishment realm. Even if he's a secret cultivator, he's not simple. You'd better hide for a while. My Soul Clone's power has been exhausted."
Second Master Lu's expression changed. "Since you don't want me to cause trouble, why don't you bring me back? In the Sky Demon Sect, I'm a half-human, half-demon monster."
Song Shi, who was eavesdropping, was slightly shocked. This guy looked neither human nor demon. He did not expect him to be half-human and half-demon.
According to the Blood-Robed old ghost's understanding, because both humans and demons had intelligence, hence it is possible for there to be special existences like him in this world.
That was the offspring of humans and demons.
"This had broken through all the laws of reproduction… As expected of the cultivation world indeed."
Song Shi sighed inwardly.
He roughly understood why this person's personality was so twisted. He was half-human and half-demon. No matter where he was, he was discriminated against.
"Hmph, you're also a monster even if you returned to the demon race!"
The white snake said the same thing.
"You are just a coward!"
Second Master Lu roared, "Since you dare to give birth to me, why don't you dare to raise me?"
PIAK
He was sent flying by the snake tail and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
"In the demon clan, with your personality, you would have died countless times. With humans, you can at least still live for a while."
The white snake's body became more and more illusory, "I've already protected you enough. From today onwards, I won't waste the power of my primordial spirit to protect you anymore. Take care of yourself!"
With that, the white snake's body turned into a burst of light and dissipated under its cold gaze.
"Enough?"
Second Master Lu laughed. The more he laughed, the crazier he became. "Since when did I need your protection? Do you know what I even want?"
"You want love."
Song Shi's indifferent voice appeared. "It's a pity that nobody can give it to you. It's better for you to die. You don't have to worry about this after you die."
Second Master Lu's body trembled as he looked at the legs that had appeared in front of him in disbelief. "Impossible… How… can you still be alive?"
