Return Of The Demon 17 Escaping The Morons

Bai Yun stood on his knees. He was panting as he stared coldly. The terrifying killing intent that was hidden deep within, burst out for the first time since he woke up.

Bai Shan felt cold. He felt as if he temperature had fallen to below freezing. His body trembled involuntarily. He felt a fear, as if his natural predator had locked his eyes on him. He then shrugged off the thought, thinking that it must be impossible. How can he, a genius of the Bai clan, be scared by a cripple.

Bai Yun trembled and asked hoa.r.s.ely. "Why?"

Bai Shan said. "What do you mean why. Ever since you hurt me outside the library, I have been looking for a chance to kill you."

Bai Yun was stunned. His face was not only covered by bandages, he had also deployed the a.s.sa.s.sin G.o.d's disguise technique. If it could be seen through this easily, it did not deserve its fame.

Seeing the shock in his eyes, Bai Shan started laughing. His posse started laughing along him.

"Did you think that you could hide from my greatness just because you hid your face. After all morons will always be morons. How could you hide from my great intellect. I noticed you a long time ago. After all I am..." Bai Shan started prattling on about his greatness.

Bai Yun frowned. Bai Shan hadn't even realized about the disguise technique. This means that he made a mistake. He had to rectify it. "How?" He asked.

Bai Shan stopped talking and grinned. "Even if you covered up your whole body, you still have your old storage ring. Idiots like you would never have thought of it. Why do you think I let you go back then. I followed after you right after you entered the weed valley."

Bai Yun immediately understood the problem. He decided to rectify it, and hide the storage ring when he was around other people, or at lest wear a different one.

"Aren't you afraid of being found out that you killed me." Bai Yun asked.

"Of course not. We are in the beast garden. No one will know that you are dead. And even if they did, how will anyone know that it was I who did it. " Bai Shan replied confidently.

'We are in the presence of royalty. All hail the king of morons.' Bai Yun thought, elevating Bai Shan's status in his mind.

If he died, his father would eventually realize it. Then, he would definitely come in search of him. The powers of someone who had reached the dao step was simply unfathomable to someone like Bai Shan. Since he had already told the butler the main places he wanted to go to in the beast garden, his father would definitely look here. For someone in the qi condensation stage, the weed valley might be incredibly large, but a dao seed stage cultivators could cover this entire valley with a look. At that time, even if these morons could kill him, he would definitely find out that Bai Yun was killed by a cultivator and not a beast. The chances of him letting it go was non existent. Even if a dao stage cultivator could not turn back time like a immortal stage cultivator could, he had multiple ways of finding the truth, along with the fact this moron was seen near here at the time.

On top of it all, add the fact that this moron would definitely brag about this to someone, and that there were over a dozen of his underlings here, with at least one of them being a spy for a prince, his death was all but written. All that is left would be a single question. Who would kill him.

Would it be Bai Yun or his father.

If the king of morons,thought that just because he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation, and because Bai Yun was in such a horrible state, he would be easy to kill, then he would be severely mistaken.

Bai Yun quickly took stock of his injuries. His right arm was useless. His left arm had many cracks, but it was still usable. One of his soul tendrils was damaged, and temporarily unusable. His eyesight was blurry, and his perception nearly unavailable. His qi whirlpool was only half full, and his organs were only settling down from the attacks of the python.

He had to retreat.

"You were nearly killed by such a tiny snake. Man you are weak. I would have killed it one strike." Bai Shan said looking at the grey rock python. "But I must thank it. After you entered the weed valley, why would you change your direction so much. We lost you immediately. If it wasn't for that scream, I would have been unable to find you."

'Next time I find a grey rock python, I will definitely let you fight it.' While cursing Bai Shan to death, Bai Yun started creeping back, at the same time keeping an eye on the posse.

Thankfully true to the name of the moron group, they hadn't spread out to cover him, but simply walked behind Bai Shan with a snicker on their faces. This gave him a lot of room to retreat. He was currently in the middle of the clearing. Once he reached the weeds, he could definitely escape successfully.

Suddenly he saw one of the group members, a third stage qi condensation cultivator, who was glancing at the grey rock python stop and a look of terror appear in his face for a moment. Bai Yun realized that the kid had recognized the python. He got ready to fight it out, after cursing in his mind. His only chance to escape was because these idiots would be looking down on him. If the kid said the truth then he would lose that chance.

But a cold look appeared in the kid's eyes, and he simply grinned and said nothing. Bai Yun was confused for a moment, but then understood. This kid must be the spy. Immediately his rank on the kill list went to the second place, behind Bai Shan only.

Bai Shan suddenly laughed. "You must be planning to use your soul to fight right. After I was send into seclusion, I studied a lot on soul cultivators and I came up with a defense." The next second, a flimsy blue aura, appeared around him. It covered his entire body, and almost seemed to be flickering.

Bai Yun recognized it. It was false armor. But being in the most barest of stages, as well as not having enough energy it looked nothing like an armor. But the interference caused by this would be enough to make his previous tactic of pus.h.i.+ng him out to be useless.

But this was unnecessary, as Bai Yun's soul tendrils was hurt, and one of them was even damaged. Of course Bai Yun didn't tell that to them.

Suddenly Bai Shan roared and rushed towards him. Once again a yellow glow appeared around his hands. "Demon subduing solar fist." He roared as he lunged forward.

With a single look he could see that this technique was of a much lower quality than Lions roar. 'The moron must have chosen the technique purely based on its name.' While wondering why he screamed out the name, Bai Yun spun himself out of the way of Bai Shan's fist.

His sword appeared in his left hand. He knew that he would be unable to do much damage to Bai Shan while he still had false armor on. So pushed off against Bai Shan using his sword, jumping away at the same time.

The posse had caught up by now. While shouting out nonsensical things, like telling him to stay still, they thrust their swords at him. Bai Yun quickly started using Simple Sword. He was like an impenetrable fortress, not a single sword even getting close to him. But every time his sword collided with another, he could feel the vibrations shaking up his arm, making him clench his teeth in pain. He knew that he could not let the situation continue. He had to escape while the moron king, was standing back and shouting instructions.

Suddenly his perception could sight of the the spy. He send a dagger flying towards him from a dangerous angle. It seemed as if he was more skilled than the rest of the group combined. But this was of no danger to Bai Yun. He simply turned his head and allowed the dagger to glide past him.

The moment the dagger went past him, he felt a vague wind pressure coming from the dagger. It was sharp, but slid past him, following his contours. For a moment Bai Yun was distracted, and allowed a few of the attacks to nearly hit him. He quickly came back into focus, and used his sword to block them, but his focus was on the wind that was generated by the swords. He heard in the back of his mind, the moron king complementing the spy for distracting him.

Bai Yun suddenly understood the key of the wind motion. He was wrong all along. It was in the sharpness of the wind, as well as its fluidity, that allowed it to be everywhere. Bai Yun knew that from now on he would be able to use wind motion successfully, but not well enough. But since he already understood the key behind the technique, it would only be a short while before he mastered it.

Bai Yun spun his sword around in a mysterious pattern. He immediately caused the swords of some of them to collide with each other, breaking their rhythm, and at the same time causing them to fight among each other. In an instant, with the reduced pressure, he blasted a way through the encampment, and launched wind motion, escaping through the narrow gap.

In an instant under the stunned eyes of the moron group, he quickly reached the edge of the clearing and entered the weed valley. Unlike before, he did not have to launch the motion one step at a time, and could run continuously using ti. He didn't stop on account of the searing pain all over his body and quickly ran away.

"What are all of you standing around here gawking for. Go after him." He heard the moron king shouting at his subjects, and then a commotion followed him inside.

Bai Yun used his G.o.d sense to tie up his aura. Unlike in the past this was far more thorough. Not only his aura, even his scent and sounds produced inside his body were hidden. After running short while, he suddenly dropped to the ground and started crawling on all flours, while careful to not disturb the weeds as much as possible.

Bai Yun quickly traveled a short distance. He could still hear noises behind him, but he wasn't sure if they were real of a hallucination. By now his eyes could barely sere, and his senses seem to be failing him. He was completely drained of qi, after using it to blast a way through the group as well as to use wind motion.

As he crawled by he felt someone run past him. These morons were simply running around, and didn't even look at the ground. The person who ran by even stepped on his fingers, but went on his way without checking.

Veins throbbing, Bai Yun bit into his lips in order not to scream. He then kept on crawling.

Bai Yun feel his consciousness fading. After what felt like ages, he could only hear deafening silence around him. He felt as if he had shaken of the pursuers, but could not be sure. So he forced himself to continue. Suddenly his hand went through the soil, and he followed tumbling down a hole.

A darkness was the last thing he saw as Bai Yun lost his consciousness after his head the sides of the hole.
