106: Chapter 106 Fire Cloud Crocodile

"Seeking death!"

Ye Yisong immediately activated three Tier 3 High-grade Flame Explosion Talismans, engulfing the Fourth Leader in a sea of flames. Not even bone fragments remained, which saved him the trouble of burying the body.

"Without the Chief Leader to block me, what gives you the confidence to stand against me!"

Seeing this scene, the Second Leader and Third Leader were filled with utter despair. Their fourth brother hadn't even lasted a single breath against this god of slaughter before being obliterated, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

"Your Excellency, do not push people too far. If you push us into a corner, you will have to pay with your life here today," the Second Leader threatened.

"Oh? I'd like to see how you plan to keep me here today." Ye Yisong caught up to the Second Leader and slit his throat with a single sword strike.

A mere Three-Star Martial Master, severely wounded and bleeding incessantly from being hit by his own Talismans, yet still so talkative. How noisy!

Ye Yisong applied a Speed Talisman to himself, tapped his feet lightly, and with a few leaps, blocked the path five meters in front of the Third Leader.

"Are you going to do it yourself, or shall I?"

"Crocodile God, save me!" The Third Leader's legs trembled, and he shouted loudly.

"Hm? There's actually someone behind you?" Ye Yisong looked at the new map in his mind. He didn't know until he looked, but once he did, he was shocked. This wasn't a human; it was clearly a Grade 4 Demonic Beast.

"How could Fire Cloud Stronghold have a Grade 4 Demonic Beast? These damnable Loose Cultivators are actually acting as servants for a Yao Beast!" Ye Yisong threw out a few Talismans and ran frantically down the mountain.

"Hahaha, kid! No matter how high your talent is, you will die here today." The Third Leader didn't dodge or evade, letting himself be swallowed by the sea of flames. He laughed heartily, thinking that if he could avenge his brothers, he would have no regrets in death.

Ye Yisong finally understood. These people running toward the back mountain weren't trying to escape at all; their goal was to lure him here and use this Yao Beast to kill him.

If it had been any other Martial Master who came here, they would truly be dead. At such close range, a Tier 3 Martial Master had no chance of escaping the pursuit of a Grade 4 Demonic Beast.

"Uncle Xiaowu, save me!"

Ye Yisong looked at the Giant Crocodile behind him, which was approaching him at a speed visible to the naked eye, and hurriedly shouted for help.

...

"This kid, he's spending money like water without a care in the world!" Ye Xiaowu watched Ye Yisong below, who was activating Talismans as if they cost nothing, and said with a pained heart.

"It is a bit wasteful." Ye Xiaosan also disapproved of Ye Yisong's approach; Spirit Stones should be saved when possible.

"Why won't Ninth Brother give me a few Talismans? Forget about Tier 4 Talismans, even Tier 3 Talismans would be fine!" Ye Xiaowu said.

"Ninth Brother could give you a few slaps, and there would be plenty to go around." Ye Xiaosan mocked him ruthlessly. This silly younger brother actually wanted to get something for free from Ye Jiexin? He was dreaming!

"Why does Ninth Brother look at this kid differently? That kid Yisong has used at least a hundred Talismans in the last two days!" Ye Xiaowu said sourly.

"I actually don't think these Talismans were given by Ninth Brother." Ye Xiaosan glanced down. Ye Yisong used the Talismans as he pleased, as if he didn't care about the cost at all. This made him understand a little why the Clan Chief had asked him to help protect this child as well.

"Third Brother, you don't think these Talismans were made by this kid himself, do you? How is that possible? The Talismans he used just now included Tier 3 High Grade Talismans. How old is he? He's already a Tier 3 High-grade Talisman Master?" Ye Xiaowu didn't believe it at all.

"Now that you mention it, I'm even more certain of this kid's extraordinary nature." Hearing Ye Xiaowu's words, Ye Xiaosan became even more convinced of his own theory.

"You can't be serious?" After Ye Xiaosan's prompt, Ye Xiaowu thought about the fact that the Clan Chief had arranged for two Martial Ancestors to protect Ye Yisong, and he also began to doubt himself.

Just as the two were watching the show, they suddenly heard Ye Yisong's exclamation from below: "Uncle Xiaowu, save me!"

Before the two could react, they saw Ye Yisong get knocked flying by a head-butt from a Fire Cloud Crocodile.

"Quick, save him! If this kid dies, Fifth Brother will slaughter us!" Ye Xiaosan didn't care about hiding his figure anymore and flew toward Ye Yisong with all his might.

By the time Ye Yisong was knocked flying for the third time, Ye Xiaosan finally arrived. He grabbed the flying Ye Yisong, swung him backward, and tossed him directly to the rear.

"Big Nephew, you rest in the back for a moment. Once your Uncle Xiaosan and I slaughter this beast, we will reunite with you." Ye Xiaowu flew over Ye Yisong's head and joined the battle between Ye Xiaosan and the Fire Cloud Crocodile.

"Third Brother, how is it? Can we take down this Fire Cloud Crocodile?" Ye Xiaowu asked as he approached and struck a palm blow.

"Hahaha, it's our brothers' turn to strike it rich! This beast must have just had a Breakthrough not long ago; it just entered the Early Stage of Grade 4. With our brothers' abilities, killing it will be more than enough." Ye Xiaosan excitedly swung his sword, hacking at the Fire Cloud Crocodile. "Where is that child Yisong?"

"I told him to rest in the back for a bit, and we will reunite with him after we kill this Fire Cloud Crocodile," Ye Xiaowu said.

"Good, let's make it quick to avoid any unforeseen complications." Ye Xiaosan increased the intensity of his attacks.

"Shadow Sword!"

"Light-Splitting Sword!"

The two immediately unleashed their unique skills. One sword emitted a ghostly light, and the other emitted a cyan light. Both struck the Fire Cloud Crocodile's massive body, severing one of its legs and its tail.

The Fire Cloud Crocodile had clearly not broken through to Grade 4 long ago; it hadn't even realized its innate Divine Ability yet, so how could it be their match?

Ye Xiaowu was a Three-Star Martial Ancestor powerhouse, and Ye Xiaosan was even a Four-Star Martial Ancestor powerhouse. Fighting a Grade 4 Fire Cloud Crocodile that had just broken through could only be described as bullying.

Suffering such heavy injuries, the Fire Cloud Crocodile immediately turned its body, wanting to flee back into the red sandstone cave.

How could the two allow it to get its wish? Their two swords danced across the air like intertwined blades, their Sword Qi like rainbows, striking the Fire Cloud Crocodile again and again. The Fire Cloud Crocodile's other two legs were also severed, leaving it with only one leg to crawl forward with difficulty, emitting miserable "woo-woo-woo" sounds.

A Sword Qi Talisman descended from the sky, piercing through the Fire Cloud Crocodile's skull in one stroke. Thus, the Fire Cloud Crocodile's short life came to an end.

"Big Nephew, don't steal the kill!"

Ye Xiaowu looked back to see that it was indeed Ye Yisong, who had just been tossed to the rear, rushing over and using a Tier 4 Talisman to slay the Grade 4 Fire Cloud Crocodile.

"Yisong, that was a bit wasteful."

Ye Xiaosan also said regretfully that if they had just been given ten more minutes, they could have worn down this Grade 4 Fire Cloud Crocodile to death; there was no need to waste a Tier 4 attack Talisman.

Ye Jiexin, that Grade 4 Talisman Grandmaster, could only produce three hundred Tier 4 Talismans a year, and that was only if he worked all year round without a break.

"This is your Uncle Xiaosan," Ye Xiaowu introduced.

"Greetings, Uncle Xiaosan." Ye Yisong paid his respects. The Family valued him too much, didn't they? Sending two Martial Ancestors to protect him—wasn't that a waste of resources?

However, it had come in handy today!

But now was not the time to think about these things. Ye Yisong lowered his voice and said:

"Uncle Xiaowu, someone else is coming."
