A vast blue radiance seemingly appeared as if out of nowhere, quietly waiting there, in the split second as the datura snake's head turned over, in the instant before its mouth closed, puu——
The nearly four metre long snake body stiffened in practically a split second, that one chi two cun sword, was already completely driven into the snake's mouth. After a moment, the datura snake's body violently stirred, and at once on the ground sand flew about and stones hurtled through the air, where its hard body swept across, regardless of shrubs or small trees, all were tested as if enduring a tornado, branches and leaves broken.
Stabbing with full strength behind that sword, Sai Joshi using Ghost Shadowly Steps had already retreated at full speed, just far enough to avoid the datura snake's lashing tail. What is called 'a centipede dies but never falls down', regarding the snake's characteristics Sai Joshi in no way would think the datura snake would die immediately?
"Little Sai."
Grandmaster in a haste calling out suddenly roused Sai Joshi. He knew, all he just did, he already could not avoid appearing before Grandmaster. His soul was not part of this world, and all this, clearly could not be known by any person. What's to be done?
Kill Grandmaster to silence him? Sai Joshi believed that relying on the attack power and specific characteristics of the sleeve dart, his chance of success was at least seventy percent, as Mr. Hog right now already had no attack strength. But how could he go through with that? Grandmaster was his Teacher, although they had only known each other for several days, already he had already gained Sai Joshi's heartfelt respect. Nothing to be done, he could only lie.
Underfoot intentionally staggering, Sai Joshi immediately rolled back on the ground.
Grandmaster stretched out his arms and grabbed him, he was after all a twenty ninth ranked spirit grandmaster, and although his spirit was somewhat poor, he still had spirit power. He supported Sai Joshi with one hand,
"Little Sai, what..?"
"Teacher, I was scared to death. How that snake chased us."
Grandmaster looked at the datura snake in the process of terrible destruction, rebuking said:
"Just now why did you suddenly let go, do you not know how dangerous that was?"
Actually, Grandmaster did not see as much as Sai Joshi imagined. After all, this was in the middle of the night, Grandmaster also did not have his Purple Heavenly Eye type of eye ability. In the darkness, Grandmaster only faintly saw Sai Joshi's body fall back behind, and that blue short sword's glimmering radiance. As for the ringing of the sleeve dart hitting the salamander's body, Grandmaster took no notice of at all.
"I also do not know how to explain, with sweaty hand, it suddenly slipped. Teacher, just now in the confusion I wielded the short sword you gave me, seemingly it dealt a piercing blow to that snake."
Pulling up Sai Joshi's hand, in his palm there was indeed cold sweat, Grandmaster also guessed that Sai Joshi hit the datura snake with a piercing blow, and very likely with a piercing blow to a vital spot, otherwise, how could this kind of violent and vicious, seeking revenge for a single look spirit beast not suddenly pursue and attack.
"Don't assume it's over, wait and see. Snake category spirit beasts' vitality is extremely tenacious, it does not die so easily."
Sai Joshi gulped for breath, this was not intentionally assuming an air, and he already somewhat lost strength.
Confronting such a formidable spirit beast as a hundred year datura snake, just now in a split second he already used his full strength. If that one Controlling and Capturing Dragon had not pulled over the salamander's head, then, the ending would have become completely different.
As a result of this time's alarming danger, Sai Joshi already secretly resolved, after going back, he must think of a way to increase his armaments. Before completing Mysterious Heaven Kally skill, various kinds of mechanism type hidden devices clearly was the best choice that was also Sai Joshi's most outstanding talent.
The two master and apprentice like that stood up and very cautiously observed. The datura snake's hysterically frenzied struggle gradually subsided, body unceasingly twisting, smashing every single plant on the ground, revealing the soil beneath.
The short sword Grandmaster gave Sai Joshi, although one chi two cun was not long, but it was already sufficient to skewer the datura snake's brain. That was a fatal wound.
"Teacher."
Regaining consciousness, Sai Joshi first of all thought of Grandmaster, he was eager to tell Grandmaster, that Grandmaster's spirit beast mimicry principle was a success. The whole merging process, although also enduring not a little agony, was without any feelings of conflict.
Just when his gaze found Grandmaster, he couldn't help but be greatly taken aback.
Grandmaster lay fallen on the ground, body seemingly already rigid, motionless. Around him and Grandmaster, realgar powder surrounded them in a circle, situation the same as their previous campsite.
"Teacher, what happened?"
Sai Joshi in his heart was greatly worried, hurriedly standing up, coming over to Grandmaster's side, helping his body up.
Seeing Grandmaster's face, Sai Joshi unconsciously blurted out,
"Poison."
Grandmaster's originally rigid face was surrounded by a sinister air, the whole body already breathing hard, body rigid, already lost feeling.
"How would teacher be poisoned?"
Raising the question, Sai Joshi suddenly felt Grandmaster's body was somewhat abnormal, and hurriedly drew back his right arm's jacket sleeve.
He saw Grandmaster's right arm was swollen to triple size compared to normal, skin stretched tight and turning bright purple, fortunately a cloth band was tied tightly on his upper arm, and clearly Grandmaster produced his own emergency treatment measures after being poisoned. Even though this way, under the circumstances the majority of the poison would not spread, but he was still unconscious, one could see how potent this poison was.
In his mind a flash of light, and Sai Joshi suddenly understood the cause for Grandmaster's poisoning. Before when he and Grandmaster were escaping being killed by the datura snake, Grandmaster's spirit Mr. Hog was bitten by the datura snake, exactly bitten on Mr. Hog's right foreleg, at that time was recalled by Grandmaster very quickly.
