Chapter 151 Imperial Jade Liquor, How Much Does a Cup Cost?
After a satisfying meal, Wu Heyi stretched contentedly and then let out a big yawn: "Ah..."
He touched his slightly bulging belly and smiled contentedly.
Then, he suddenly turned around, staring straight at the seemingly empty space behind him, a calm and composed smile on his face, and said loudly:
"My two friends have been following me all this way, why don't you come out and meet them?"
However, as time passed, two full minutes went by, and the surroundings remained completely silent, without the slightest sound.
Wu Heyi knew perfectly well that these cowardly people must think he was just bluffing to trick them out.
So Wu Heyi smiled and shook his head, saying helplessly, "Since my friends are so cautious and unwilling to show themselves, then I will return to the city first."
Having said that, he took a step, one after another, his steps steady and light as he walked back the way he came.
Although his movements appeared gentle and slow, they were actually quite fast.
Before long, Wu Heyi arrived at the side of a towering tree.
Just then, a dark shadow darted down from the tree like lightning. It was a long ribbon, which, like a frog's tongue flicking out when it catches its prey, flew towards Wu Heyi with lightning speed.
Faced with this sudden attack, Wu Heyi remained calm and composed. With a light step, he nimbly jumped to the side, easily dodging the attack of the long ribbon.
Unexpectedly, the long ribbon split into five strands in mid-air, and each one seemed to be given life, flexibly changing its flight trajectory.
Like five incredibly sharp blades, they shot straight toward Wu Heyi's location with a whooshing sound.
Wu Heyi moved his feet carefully, his movements seemingly slow, but each step skillfully avoided the long ribbons that were rushing towards him.
These long ribbons fell swiftly like lightning, and upon touching the ground, they produced a deafening roar, like sharp blades exploding, piercing straight into the hard earth, while simultaneously scattering countless tiny stones in all directions.
Just then, a deep and powerful male voice suddenly came from the quiet woods nearby:
"First Soul Skill: Golden Serpent Dance!"
This shout was like a thunderclap, instantly pulling Wu Heyi from the tense state of battle back to the depths of distant memories.
However, he quickly regained his senses after only a moment of distraction, as a more pressing crisis awaited him.
Dozens of golden datura snakes leaped towards him at an astonishing speed, following the crimson ribbon that had just attacked him.
They bared their teeth and claws, spewing out scarlet tongues and emitting a chilling aura.
But Wu Heyi was a veteran of countless battles, and even though he was only distracted for a brief second, he was still able to react quickly.
With a flick of his wrist, he drew a gleaming longsword from his storage space and began to wield it in the air.
The sword flashed with dazzling light, drawing out a series of brilliant sword flowers that dazzled the eyes.
With a few crisp sounds, the menacing datura snakes, upon encountering Wu Heyi's longsword, were utterly powerless to resist and fell to the ground dead.
Strangely, when Wu Heyi swung his sword to kill these venomous snakes, he did not feel that his sword had struck a solid object; instead, it felt as light as if it had sliced through the air.
Just as he had expected, the severed golden mandala snakes instantly turned into wisps of green smoke, rising gently before gradually dissipating into nothingness.
"You've got something! Ha!" A low growl, tinged with disdain and defiance, came from the woods.
With a slight rustling sound, the surrounding branches and leaves began to shake violently.
Suddenly, a gigantic, awe-inspiring golden serpent slowly emerged from the depths of the forest.
It is at least five meters tall, with a body as thick as a bucket, and covered with a layer of golden scales that shimmer with a mysterious light.
The python raised its head high, its scarlet forked tongue flicking out, looking down at Wu Heyi with a superior posture.
Wu Heyi looked up at the enormous thing in front of him and couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Such a huge python is truly rare. He thought to himself, "I never expected to encounter such a creature here!"
However, after a brief moment of surprise, Wu Heyi quickly regained his composure.
Without hesitation, he reached out and a finely crafted pistol instantly appeared in his hand.
It should be noted that facing such a giant python, which is five meters tall, its strength is probably equivalent to that of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.
Ordinary pistols are almost incapable of causing any real damage to the iron-hard scales of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.
However, Wu Heyi did not point the gun directly at the five-meter-tall golden mandala python. Instead, he unexpectedly pulled the trigger repeatedly towards the direction of the forest.
Three crisp gunshots rang out, "Bang," "Pfft," and "Clang," piercing the air. Just half a second later, three different sounds echoed from the woods.
At the same time, the five-meter-long python, which had been acting mockingly and arrogantly, vanished without a trace in an instant.
"Hmph, nothing special! All show and no substance!"
Wu Heyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile, his tone full of contempt and disdain for the seemingly powerful giant python.
The two men in the woods could no longer hide and had no choice but to slowly emerge and confront Wu Heyi.
The reason was simple: the pistol Wu Heyi was holding had an astonishingly fast firing speed.
In a narrow and crowded place, it would be extremely difficult to accurately capture the trajectory and method of a bullet's attack.
Just now, three bullets were fired into the woods in succession. One of them hit a thick tree directly, and the powerful impact instantly created a deep bullet hole in the trunk.
The other one shot precisely severed the yo-yo's string, causing the yo-yo, which was flying in the air, to suddenly lose control and fall to the ground.
The final bullet was blocked by the opponent using a mysterious and unheard-of soul skill.
After the enemy successfully intercepted the bullet, their expressions became extremely solemn, and they gained a clear understanding of the true strength that Wu Heyi possessed.
Wu Heyi gazed calmly at the two figures that gradually emerged from the depths of the woods, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"So it really is you two! I knew it! Showing off those skills on the street was just a smokescreen. Your real business is murder, arson, robbery, and killing!"
Wu Heyi spoke softly, but every word seemed to weigh heavily on the hearts of the two men.
Upon hearing this, the man among the two turned deathly pale, his face filled with despair and dejection, and he replied weakly:
"Since we have already been defeated by you, then you may do as you please, whether you want to kill us or torture us!"
It should be noted that after being meticulously modified by Wu Heyi and Tang San, this pistol is now almost equivalent to a true soul tool in terms of both firing speed and power.
With such powerful weapons at their disposal, how could these two men with ill intentions not feel terrified?
This pistol is incredibly powerful, comparable to the full-force attack of most late-stage Soul Masters.
It should be noted that the strength of a late-stage Soul Master is not to be underestimated, but the fact that this pistol possesses such power is truly astonishing.
Most importantly, the firing speed of this pistol is incredibly fast, so fast that ordinary Soul Masters cannot even perceive the instantaneous speed at which the bullet is fired.
That's why, when the two of them came out of the woods, they didn't hesitate or waver at all. They resolutely chose to give up resistance and simply lay down and give up!
However, Wu Heyi did not actually intend to make things difficult for the two men. He stopped them simply to ask them some questions.
Wu Heyi looked at the man with a slightly mocking gaze and said, "Answer me a few questions, and if the answers satisfy me, I will let you two leave."
Upon hearing this, the man breathed a slight sigh of relief and hurriedly nodded in response, "Okay, please ask your question."
Wu Heyi then asked, "The object you were playing with just now is called a yo-yo, right?"
The man nodded again and explained, "That's right, this is my martial spirit."
The rope you just broke was constructed by me using my own soul power.
Upon hearing this, Wu Heyi thought to himself, "Goodness, this person can actually construct a rope using his soul power. He's quite capable."
However, Wu Heyi did not show much surprise, and then asked.
"How much is a glass of Imperial Jade Liquor?"
"If you take away a pair of crutches and some Imperial Jade Liquor, how many small hammers can you buy?"
