Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Is that so ... Then let's think about it first!" Lin Yi said as he led the group forward, not taking the giant king goumang seriously at all.

However, before they could take two steps, a sharp wind blade descended from the sky and landed right in front of them. At the same time, King goumang's voice filled with killing intent rang out,""Mere humans dare to play with this King. Do you really want to die so badly?"

The wind blade's power startled everyone, and even Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. From the looks of it, this ancient king goumang was at least a late-stage golden core cultivator!

He was only at the peak of the foundational level-he didn't even have much of a chance against a normal golden core cultivator, let alone a late-stage golden core monster!

"Did I play with you? You've made such a harsh request, don't tell me you won't allow us to discuss it properly?" Lin Yi asked back calmly. The strength of the opponent was beyond his expectations, but he was sure of one thing from the conversation just now. If the opponent wanted to capture them alive, King goumang wouldn't dare to attack them unless he had no other choice. It was just like that powerful wind blade-it was only a threat at most.

"Alright, I can give you a chance to discuss this. However, the condition is that you can't take another step forward, or you'll die!" King goumang's voice was stern.

"You can't take another step forward?" Lin Yi laughed,"This means that if we take one more step forward, we will be out of your control. Am I right?"

"Ugh ..." King goumang panicked. Lin Yi had hit the nail on the head. If not, he wouldn't have emphasized that they couldn't take a step forward, and the goumang underlings wouldn't have risked their lives to attack Lin Yi and the others. There was only one reason-they were already at the border of their territory.

"It seems like I was right." Lin Yi said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. He took a step forward, stepping over the deep mark left by King goumang's wind blade.

"Don't you dare!" The primordial King goumang panicked and was about to attack with all his might, but a scalp-numbing hiss suddenly came from the opposite side. A giant snake dozens of meters long soared into the sky. Its scales were an extremely dazzling bright red, just like a giant fire snake.

"Hiss hiss hiss, this human is very smart. The great King goumang is actually being played around by a mere human. This is so satisfying!" The giant fire snake also spoke the human language and laughed without restraint.

Everyone was shocked. King goumang was already troublesome enough. Now, a giant fire snake that was obviously not to be trifled with had appeared. They were clearly in a situation where they were surrounded!

Only Lin Yi didn't seem surprised at all, as if he'd expected this.

"Red-scaled snake, are you trying to ruin my plan?" The primordial King goumang stared unkindly at the giant fire snake. A terrifying dark green aura surrounded his body, causing one to tremble in fear.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss, did water get into your brain, you damn bird? so many ready-made Tributes have come to my territory, who is ruining whose good thing?" A pair of exaggerated scales suddenly opened on the back of the red-scaled snake's head. From a distance, it looked like a huge red ghostly face, which was creepy.

"Bullshit! They are all in my territory!" King goumang said angrily.

"If it wasn't for you, you damn bird, coming out and getting in the way, they would have been in my territory long ago. Besides, isn't there already a tribute coming over by itself?" Before the snake finished its sentence, its tail suddenly swept out from the dense forest and pounced at Lin Yi.

Everyone was shocked. The snake was clearly in a confrontation with King goumang, but it had already locked onto Lin Yi. Each one was more sinister than the last.

The red-scaled snake's tail was extremely fast, but Lin Yi was much faster. This time, he didn't hold back because of Lingshan and the others. With his extreme butterfly microstep, he turned into a shadow and the snake's tail missed.

"Hiss, hiss, this human's speed is really not simple. He's really an amazing tribute!" The red-scaled snake's expressionless face suddenly showed a look of shock. It had been guarding this place for many years, and no one had ever been able to avoid its attack so easily.

"It seems that you all care a lot about the tributes. Can you explain to me what the tributes are?" Lin Yi had already returned to his original spot-if one wasn't strong enough, they'd think he'd never left.

King goumang's explanation of the tributes was obviously bullsh * t-the snake wouldn't have said that Lin Yi and the others were Tributes if they were. The two of them were obviously equal existences, and there was no way the snake would've given King goumang any Tributes. It was obvious from their tone that they were snatching the tributes!

"Hiss, hiss, so this dead bird hasn't explained to you?" The red-scaled snake was surprised and laughed,""Dead man bird, this is your fault. Since you want to capture him as a tribute, you can't keep him in the dark, right? otherwise, why would he be willing to cooperate with you? You damn birds, you have an extremely ugly human face for nothing. It's a pity that you never had a brain since ancient times!"

"No brains? Red-scaled snake, do you believe that I won't skin you alive today and restore the glory of the ancient goumang race!" The primordial King goumang roared.

"I said you don't have a brain, and you really don't have a brain. What kind of bullshit glory did you dead birds have? Besides, even if we do have a little bit of glory, it's just that our red-scaled Snake Clan was deceived by you in the ancient times, and stupidly worked for you for a while. What else is there to mention?" The red-scaled snake hissed with disdain.

"Deceive? Hmph, since ancient times, our goumang clan's coming of age ceremony has always been to capture two red-scaled snakes to get close to us. This is all based on real strength. If not for that Lord, your red-scaled Snake Clan would only be our vassals, and you wouldn't have the right to stand here and talk big to me!" The primordial King goumang said condescendingly.

"Oh, really? Why don't we have a fight now and see who's the vassal?" The red-scaled snake's ghostly face suddenly became even more ferocious and terrifying. (To be continued.)
