<strong><u>Chapter 224: Ability</u></strong>


    When the enormous green energy serpent came into contact with the sweeping thick white me, it began to swiftly disappear, much like snowing into contact with heat. In just the blink of an eye, the ferocious huge serpent that whizzed over the skyline suddenly disappeared from the sky. All that was left was a somewhat deste cry from it that slowly echoed in the sky... until it disappeared.


    The sudden change caused everyone to adoptpletely stunned faces. A long whileter, numerous shocked gazes finally hurriedly turned toward the me person in the sky.


    The human figure stood under the blue sky and a thick white-colored me continued to writhe on his body,pletely covering him. Due to the me being extremely dense, those outside also had difficulty seeing the face of the person under it; the high temperature caused by the me also caused the surrounding air to appear a little distorted. From afar, it was as though creases had formed in the air, appearing extremely strange.


    Even though the five Dou Wangs of the Snake-People were quite far away, they could still feel the intense heat emitted from the white me. After swallowing dryly, they exchanged nces and could see the fear in each other’s hearts.


    “Who are you? Why have you meddled in the affairs of the Snake-People race?” The sudden appearance of the ming human figure and the frightening attack that he had unleashed immediately caused the grey clothed old man’s face to turn much more gloomy. However, in this kind of situation, he did not dare to randomly offend a mysterious strong person of unknown origin. He exchanged nces with hispanions before taking a step forward and asking in a deep voice.


    “No reason... I simply like it.” An old voice that was neither fast nor slow was emitted from within the white-colored me. The indifferent tone resulted in the faces of the grey clothed old man’s group to turn ugly.


    Standing a short distance behind the me person, Yun Zhi was a little stunned as she stared at the human figure in front of her. She knit her eyebrows together for a moment. However, she could not think of a strong Dou Huang who could control a white-colored me within the Jia Ma Empire.


    Yun Zhi’s pretty eyes swept across the writhing white me before her pupils suddenly shrunk. A momentter, shock suddenly shed passed her... From her senses, she could clearly feel that despite the hot temperature emanated from the thick white me, the me clearly seemed to feel like pieces of Thousand Years Cold Ice. However, how could ice release such a hot me? What was this strange thing?


    “Don’t tell me... don’t tell me this is a ‘Heavenly me’?” Yun Zhi blinked her eyes and recalled those strange natural mes. Her heart beat violently. On top of her heart being shocked, she did not know whether tough or cry. She had managed to see two ‘Heavenly mes’ today while they were usually extremely rare to see on any day. Could this be considered lucky?


    “This old sir, thank you for helping. Haha. But these jumping clowns do not pose too much of a threat to me...” After shaking her head to remove those thoughts from her head, Yun Zhi said with a smile to the ming person in front of her as a gratitude and gentleness surfaced on her pretty face.


    “Perhaps...” The ming human figure said faintly, “I am not a person who likes to meddle in matters. If it were not for someone making a request, I would not put in so much effort to hurry over.”


    “Someone’s request?” Hearing this, Yun Zhi was momentarily at a loss. Her eyebrows were pressed together as she asked, “Old sir, may I know who is the one who requested for you toe and help me? Is it Gu He?”


    “Hehe. Gu He may have quite a good reputation in the Jia Ma Empire, but he doesn’t have the qualification to request me to do anything.” The oldughter from the ming human figure contained a little disdain.


    Hearing the ming human figure readily disagree, Yun Zhi was once again at a loss. A doubt immediately shed across her pretty face. Among all the people she knew, there were not many who had the ability to invite a Dou Huang to take action. Moreover, her current arrival in the desert was part of a secret n. There were only a few people that knew about it. Thus, only Gu He had the highest possibility. However, from the tone of the old man, it seemed that he was not too concerned about the Pill-King.


    “Stop thinking. After getting rid of these long tailed Snake-People, I also need to quickly go and do something.” The ming human figure waved his hand and said ndly. He immediately raised his head and watched the five Dou Wangs in midair. In a faint voice, he said, “I have long heard that the Dou Techniques of the Snake-People race are very unique. Today, I would like to try taking them on.”


    The corner of the grey clothed old man’s mouth twitched as his gaze stared sinisterly at the ming human figure. Even with his experience, he realized that he could not determine the origin of this strong person in front of him. He felt some disbelief and his mood gradually sunk. They could still rely on merging their Dou Qi to fight against a Dou Huang for awhile. However, if it there were two Dou Huang, then the five of them would be easily defeated by their opponents. The grey clothed old man clearly knew how strong a Dou Huang was and naturally knew the difference between his group and their opponents.


    “The Snake-People race does not have any grudges against you. However, your action today will be remembered by the Snake-People race...” Even though their group lost in strength, the grey clothed old man did not want to appear weak. Thus even though they were at a disadvantage, the grey clothed old man kept his cold smile as he left some resolute words. After which, he released a sharp cry and shouted, “Withdraw!”


    Hearing the grey clothed old man cry, the surrounding four Dou Wangs hesitated for a moment before they stared unresigningly at the ming human figure in the sky. Their hands simultaneously formed some seals. Following a cry, the five Snake-People appeared to explode. Numerous small energy snakes swarmed out in all directions the moment the explosion sounded in the air and began rushing out towards all directions in the desert.


    When she saw the grey clothed old man’s group intending to flee, Yun Zhi frowned. She was just about to move her body to block them when that ming human figure shook his hand.


    Yun Zhi could only stop her action when she saw the ming human figure’s movement.


    After the ming human figure coldly watched those countless of fleeing small energy snakes for an instant, he gently waved both his palms. Immediately, five sharp needles coagted from the thick white me and began to swiftly form in front of him.


    As the five me sharp needles slowly rotated, the ming human figure icily watched the surrounding small energy snakes that appeared to have covered the entire ce. His ferocious Spiritual Strength broke out of his body and scanned for the real body hidden among the countless small snake. Instantly, he let out a soft cold smile. Tapping his finger gently, the five thick white me sharp needles suddenly shot in five different directions.


    The thick white me sharp needles may have appeared tiny but they left a few faint white scars in the blue sky as they passed through the air. The hot temperature that was contained within them also caused the surrounding air to be vaporized into nothing.


    Seeing that these humble looking spiraling me sharp needles were actually able to create such power, an astonished expression appeared on Yun Zhi’s face. The curiosity she had for the identity of this mysterious person in front of her also grew.


    The spiraling me sharp needles cut through the skyline in a lightning like manner and shot into the small energy snakes that were running in all directions. Although the small energy snakergely appearedpletely the same, the spiraling sharp needles appeared to have a clear target. Along the way, they incinerated a few small snakes which were blocking their paths into nothingness before viciously piercing at five extremely small snakes.


    Appearing to have felt the imminent frightening attack, the five small snakes hurriedly turned their heads around. A human like shock appeared in their triangr shaped eyes when they saw the me sharp needles shooting towards them.


    “Allowing the tiger to return to the mountain is not my style. Since we have be enemies, I will naturally not leave any seeds of trouble...” The ming human figure said softly as he stared indifferently at the five small snakes which were about to be struck by the spiraling me needles. Behind him, Yun Zhi did not say anything when she saw the ming human figure’s action. She was not a foolish kind of person. When it was time to be vicious, she would be more vicious that even some executioners. Having reached her position and strength, she had mastered the skill of deciding when to be vicious and when to be kind.


    TL: Allowing the tiger to return to the mountain - chinese idiom - meaning letting a potentially dangerous enemy escape, which may lead to serious problems in the future


    In the sky, five me sharp needles, apanied by sharp explosive sounds, shot ferociously at the five small snakes. However, something happened the moment the needles were about to touch their body.


    “Hmph...” The moment before the five small snakes were about to be struck, the ming human figure suddenly trembled intensely. A soft muffled croon sounded from within the me.


    Clearly hearing this muffled croon, Yun Zhi stilled and hurriedly asked, “Old sir, are you alright?” Her face changed just after she asked those words. This was because she felt an extremely strong Qi suddenly surging from within the thick white me. This Qi appeared out of thin air and spread across the empty space like lightning. It swiftly caught up with those five me sharp needles. With a slight shake, it shook the five sharp needles that were formed from the ‘Heavenly me’ into nothingness.


    During this extremely dangerous moment, the five small snake swayed their snake tails and violently drilled their bodies into the sand dunes, disappearing from the sight of the two people in a very embarrassing manner.


    “Damn beast...” A furious old voice sounded from within the thick white me as he saw the five small snakes disappear.


    As the angry cursing fell, the faintly wild and terrifying Qi gradually extinguished. A momentter, the Qipletely disappeared as if it had never appeared.


    “Ugh, what a waste of effort...” The ming human figure sighed and shook his head. He violently smacked his sleeves as though he was scolding something. Then he turned around, nced at the pretty Yun Zi before flying toward the edge of the desert.


    When he was flying past Yun Zhi’s shoulders, the ming human figure paused slightly. There was a brief hesitation before he said, “Oh yes, a young fellow told me to ry his apologies to you. He seemed to have gone a little overboard just a few minute ago...”


    Hearing this, Yun Zhi’s lovely body stilled. Her small red moist lips widened and her pretty face was totally stunned. From this little bit of information that the mysterious person had haphazardly revealed, she learned that... This Dou Huang who had hurried over to support her... Was actually someone that Xiao Yan had invited.


    “This little fellow... His power isn’t small... It seems I have underestimated you in the past.” Yun Zhi muttered in shock as she tilted her head and eyed the ming human figure that had swiftly disappeared from the edge of her vision.
