NOVEL WEB Chapter 153 - Stubborn
Yao Chen carried the Heavy Black Ruler and gradually moved away, passing by Mo Ba Si.
The Mo Snake Tribe members silently watched this scene, and no one made any moves.
Everyone, including Yao Chen herself, believed that this matter had already come to an end.
Yao Chen had demonstrated the overwhelming power that Mo Ba Si couldn’t resist deep down.
As long as Mo Ba Si had a normal brain, he wouldn’t seek death again after being spared by Yao Chen.
And this result was exactly what Yao Chen wanted.
The Flame Splitting Tsunami attack she had just used was indeed terrifying in terms of its momentum and destructive power. It could have easily obliterated Mo Ba Si, the Dou Wang (Battle King, 6th Level).
However, the amount of Dou Qi consumed was undoubtedly substantial. Furthermore, when Yao Chen took over Xiao Yan’s body, Xiao Yan had already suffered serious injuries.
In other words, Yao Chen could use the Flame Splitting Tsunami again with the same power as before.
But after using it once more, she would have very little energy left.
However, if she were to use the Flame Splitting Tsunami again, Yao Chen would have to finish Mo Ba Si off completely, regardless of the consequences it might trigger after killing him.
Otherwise, with her remaining strength, or rather Xiao Yan’s, she would be at Mo Ba Si mercy.
In this situation, Yao Chen couldn’t care about that much.
In Yao Chen’s heart, Xiao Yan was far more important than Xiao Li’s ideals.
There was no comparison between the two in Yao Chen’s mind.
Therefore, in order to avoid a conflict between Xiao Yan’s life and Xiao Li’s ideals, if Mo Ba Si insisted on continuing to harass them, Yao Chen’s only choice would be to retreat.
In other words, to run away.
But the choice of running away really made Yao Chen feel very frustrated.
Quite frustrated.
Clearly, she could have killed Mo Ba Si, but she had to leave to avoid killing him.
Yao Chen, who had been in the mainland for decades, had never experienced such frustration.
However, there was no choice.
Now, she represented Xiao Yan, not herself.
In that case, all the choices she made had to be from Xiao Yan’s perspective and for Xiao Yan’s consideration.
Only in this way could she not let down Xiao Yan’s trust in her.
So, Black Snake brat…
For the sake of everyone feeling at ease, just stay put there obediently.
Yao Chen’s heart was hoping for this.
However, reality often didn’t go as planned.
Just as the distance between Yao Chen and Mo Ba Si had opened up to about ten meters, Mo Ba Si suddenly shouted.
“Wait!!!”
…
Yao Chen’s body abruptly stopped, and she turned her head slightly. Her ruby-like childlike eyes glanced at Mo Ba Si.
She saw Mo Ba Si slowly straighten up, turn around, and the dark golden snake child stared at Yao Chen.
Opening his mouth filled with two rows of sharp teeth, he said word by word.
“I know, I can’t beat you.”
“But even so, I won’t let you go!”
Hearing Mo Ba Si words, Yao Chen couldn’t help but feel a headache, and deep sighs came from the bottom of her heart.
This was why she hated people like Mo Ba Si, with well-developed muscles but simple minds.
When they decided on something, they had to go through with it, even if they knew it would cost them their lives.
Perhaps what these people thought was, “It’s just death.”
But they completely ignored the serious consequences that their death could bring about.
How annoying… Why did she have to encounter such an obstinate person?
Yao Chen, feeling somewhat annoyed, pinched her nose bridge.
At this moment, she felt like the frustration she had just experienced was completely wasted. Her thoughtful intentions seemed to have gone unappreciated.
Ah… No, she shouldn’t say that.
Whether Mo Ba Si understood the reason she spared him or not, the result would be the same.
This kind of person was just stubborn.
Even if he knew why she spared him, he would still act this way.
In Mo Ba Si’s mind, hating humans was his bottom line.
And this bottom line was not to be crossed, especially by himself.
Under any circumstances, at any time, he would never abandon this bottom line, even in the face of death.
Sigh…
Yao Chen took a deep breath and revealed a deep sense of frustration in her eyes.
She knew that even though he couldn’t beat her, Mo Ba Si would continue to provoke her.
She had to endure it because she had to consider her disciple’s situation.
She had taken over Xiao Yan’s body, and her strength was sufficient. She could enjoy the pleasure of using the strength of a Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) to kill a Dou Wang (Battle King, 6th Level).
But why did it feel so unpleasant?
It was as if many things she wanted to do were restricted by an invisible force.
Upon careful thought, wasn’t Xiao Yan always like this in everything he did?
Cautious, careful, and afraid that his actions would lead to unfavorable consequences.
He was even more afraid that his actions would go against the righteous path he pursued.
Before, Yao Chen had known that Xiao Yan’s path of righteousness was difficult, but it was only theoretical to her.
Now, she seemed to have a glimpse of what Xiao Yan felt in his daily life.
It was really amazing that he had persevered all this time.
Yao Chen scratched her head lightly and sighed again.
There was no other choice. Let’s run.
With this thought in mind, Yao Chen raised her foot once again to leave.
However, it seemed that Mo Ba Si could see through Yao Chen’s intention to ignore him and leave. He shouted loudly.
“Don’t even think about leaving!”
Black Dou Qi surged from Mo Ba Si’s body, transforming into a huge illusionary black serpent that rushed toward Yao Chen, with Mo Ba Si following closely behind.
Yao Chen, who had seen more things, knew that this was a unique secret technique of the snake-people.
Some snake-people attached part of their souls to snake-type magical beasts from birth, turning them into their servants. Regardless of their own cultivation level, their servants would always be one level lower.
In other words, the illusionary black serpent summoned by Mo Ba Si was at the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) level.
However, a Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)-level magical beast posed no threat to Yao Chen’s current strength, which was at the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) level.
Seeing the majestic illusionary black serpent approaching her menacingly, Yao Chen raised her eyebrow slightly.
She didn’t even bother to use the Heavy Black Ruler. She simply raised her free hand, and a pale white flame condensed in her palm.
“A mere pat is not a match for me!”
Yao Chen scolded coldly and waved her hand. The pale white flame shot out from her palm and splashed onto the illusionary black serpent’s body.
In an instant, the pale white flame completely engulfed the massive body of the illusionary black serpent, and the burning pain in the depths of its soul made the illusionary black serpent howl in agony!
Seeing this situation, Mo Ba Si, although surprised, quickly calmed down.
He wasn’t surprised that Yao Chen could easily kill the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)-level illusionary black serpent. After all, this was a person that could crush even him, a Dou Wang (Battle King, 6th Level).
For Yao Chen, it was only natural to deal with magical beasts of the same level as him with ease.
Therefore, from the beginning, Mo Ba Si didn’t expect the illusionary black serpent to harm Yao Chen.
It was just a bait he used to get close to her!
Roar!
Just as he was about to approach Yao Chen, Mo Ba Si roared loudly.
In an instant, Mo Ba Sis already tall body expanded several times, and his mid-level Dou Wang (Battle King, 6th Level) strength suddenly leaped to the pinnacle of the Dou Wang (Battle King, 6th Level) level!
The long halberd in his hand was enveloped in black Dou Qi, turning into a gigantic illusionary snake head. He swung it fiercely towards Yao Chen and shouted the name of this move.
“Mo Snake Bite!!!”
