Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 567: Chapter 566 Underwater Monster

At the bottom of the lake, Su Yang lay in ambush, clearly hearing everything happening above him.

In fact, when he arrived here earlier and noticed people lying in ambush, Su Yang had already been aware of it.

However, he did not reveal this because he did not want to expose himself yet.

And when Zhao Wunian shouted a warning to the Su Brothers and lunged towards him, Su Yang guessed what Zhao Wunian was about to do.

At that time, it was Feng Wenchuan who lunged at Zhao Wunian, with no one attacking Su Yang—Zhao Wunian didn’t need to come to Su Yang’s rescue. His actions were completely an act.

But Su Yang did not expose him; on the contrary, he cooperated and played along with the act.

After all, getting rid of Feng Wenchuan and his group was necessary for them to be able to enter the River God Sect.

In the water, Su Yang continued to dive, planning to wait until Feng Wenchuan and the others had gone before surfacing to reunite with the group.

However, just as he was about to surface, he suddenly felt a movement behind him.

Su Yang also reacted quickly, bursting upward, as a current immediately swept past his back. Some underwater plants not far from him were directly swept away.

Turning his head, Su Yang saw a pitch-black cavern in the distance. The current had come out from that very cave.

After the first strike missed, some underwater plants were ejected from the cave, followed by a second powerful current that rushed towards Su Yang.

Su Yang frowned; this time, he did not evade. Instead, he let the current wrap around him, quickly rushing into the cave.

The cavern was pitch-dark, but this meant nothing to Su Yang, who could clearly see everything inside.

The cavern was deep, and its floor was covered with various bones. There were fish bones, beast bones, and even human bones, creating a terrifying scene reminiscent of a land of death.

The current was strong, pulling Su Yang forward swiftly, and soon he reached the depths of the cave. There, in the distance, Su Yang saw a monster inhaling forcefully, the source of the powerful current.

This monster had an odd appearance; from afar, it resembled a giant turtle. However, its head was like that of a crocodile, with a mouth full of sharp teeth portraying formidable strength. Its neck was serpentine, able to stretch out quite long, as if half of a python had burrowed into a turtle shell.

It also had a long tail that extended from the shell, wafting in the water. Every sweep of the tail stirred the current.

Upon seeing Su Yang approach, it immediately opened its mouth wide and lunged at Su Yang with a bite.

Su Yang swiftly turned, deftly avoiding the monster’s attack.

The monster seemed not to have encountered such a situation before. In these waters, something was actually able to evade its assault. It became enraged, opening its mouth to inhale again, sending another current swirling towards Su Yang.

Su Yang dodged swiftly, then surged to the front of the creature, striking its shell with a swift punch.

The monster was knocked flying several meters away. It clambered up and shook its head as if enraged, and quickly lunged again at Su Yang.

Su Yang’s eyes widened. He had used half his strength in that punch, and yet the monster seemed unaffected, showing no sign of injury—was its shell that hard?

Without time to think further, Su Yang struck again and sent the creature flying once more. However, this time he hit the monster’s head.

This time the monster had clearly taken a hit, it roared and charged again, sweeping its tail to wrap directly around Su Yang’s waist.

Su Yang quickly retreated, but he underestimated the creature. When Su Yang thought he had dodged the monster’s attack, its tail suddenly whipped up a flow of water.

Caught off guard, Su Yang was dragged forward. The monster’s tail took the opportunity to coil tightly around Su Yang’s waist, ensnaring him securely.

Seizing its chance, the monster surged forward. Its tail, like the body of a python, coiled tightly around Su Yang’s body while it opened its gaping maw and bit towards Su Yang’s head.

The strength of the monster was truly immense, such that ordinary beings of the Integration Realm, and even those of The Sovereign Realm, might not be able to withstand its power.

Although Su Yang’s current strength allowed him to slay The Sovereign, breaking free was no easy task.

However, Su Yang did not need to do so. With a slight movement of his fingers, the Nine Cold Jade Sword rose into the air and swiftly struck towards the monster’s head.

The creature immediately tried to dodge, knowing the situation was dire. Yet, it was unaware of the Nine Cold Jade Sword’s capabilities. The sword froze the area, trapping the monster within.

Su Yang took the chance to break free from the creature’s tail, intending to study the monster further. Just then, the ice around the monster began rapidly shattering.

Su Yang couldn’t help but be astonished; this was the power of the Nine Cold Jade Sword. How could the monster break it?

Upon closer inspection, Su Yang finally understood what had happened. The monster hadn’t broken the power of the Nine Cold Jade Sword. On the contrary, it had absorbed the power of the Nine Cold Jade Sword. The frosty chill turned into a small blue bead in its mouth, which it then used for itself!

Su Yang widened his eyes in disbelief at the scene he had never witnessed before. Though it was just a small bead, taking down a Sovereign would probably be a piece of cake.

The monster targeted Su Yang, opened its mouth wide, and spat the blue bead at him, like a fired bullet.

Su Yang didn’t even try to dodge, he flicked his finger, and the Nine Cold Jade Sword rushed to meet it.

The blue bead collided with the Nine Cold Jade Sword and was immediately absorbed by it, since it was originally the sword’s frosty energy.

The monster too paused in shock, then hastily retreated two steps back, sinking into a patch of mud.

”Thinking of running?” Su Yang uttered a cold shout and quickly pursued.

However, before he reached the mud, an abrupt disturbance came from above. Su Yang looked up, only to see the creature diving down from above him.

Su Yang was almost too surprised to resist, and he immediately threw a punch upwards in response.

The monster took the hit with its carapace, but its tail took the chance to wrap around Su Yang again, resuming their tangle.

This time, Su Yang did not rashly use the Nine Cold Jade Sword again, as he realized it was ineffective against the creature.

After landing a punch on the monster’s head, Su Yang quickly united his mind and spirit, brought his hands together, and fervently chanted, ”Om mani padme hum!”

With each chant, Su Yang’s body grew larger and his strength increased.

By the time the monster turned back towards him, Su Yang had doubled in size. He forcefully broke free from the creature’s tail, grabbed the monster’s head with one hand and its carapace with the other, and hoisted it up before slamming it hard against the stone wall behind.

The stone wall crumbled, and the monster was battered and dazed, nearly fainting. When it looked back at Su Yang, its eyes were full of fear, and it dared not approach him anymore.
