This creature claimed to be a descendant of the Nine Heavens Profound Serpent.
Yu Daohan had initially assumed it would be a white python or a black viper, but he never expected it to be a grass snake.
This truly astonished him.
For a grass snake to cultivate to a realm of fifteen hundred years, what kind of luck would that require?
What did that even mean? It was akin to a young man who had only graduated from junior high school, through his own efforts, directly becoming the richest person in the world.
This was a very rational story.
"You foolish grandson, why are you frozen? If you don't cut the grass at the roots, it will grow back with the spring breeze. Chase!"
As soon as Yu Shuntian finished speaking, he had already stepped forward in pursuit.
Yu Daohan also snapped back to his senses and followed suit.
It had to be said, this beast's strength was not great, but its ability to escape was formidable.
Despite having no legs, its body twisted with all its might.
"I didn't expect this fellow to be a grass snake," Yu Shuntian was also somewhat surprised.
He had encountered many monsters in his life, but this was the first time he had seen a grass snake cultivate to such a realm.
Yu Shuntian took out silver needles and shot them out rapidly.
But the grass snake was too agile, twisting its body to evade the incoming needles.
Yu Daohan, unwilling to accept defeat, condensed a drop of Samsara Blood Tear and shot it out.
Whoosh!
The speed of the Samsara Blood Tear was astonishing, yet the grass snake easily dodged it.
The grass snake crawled forward while looking back at the grandfather and grandson, taunting, "Hahaha, you think you can catch me? Utterly laughable."
He dared not boast about anything else, but when it came to escaping, in his true form, even a celestial being descending from the heavens might not be able to catch him.
When the heavenly tribulation had descended, this fellow had relied solely on his escape skills to ensure the lightning tribulation never struck him even once.
What did that even mean?
They chased for who knew how many miles, but the grandfather and grandson were still unable to catch up.
Furthermore, seeing that they couldn't catch up, the creature actually slowed down, looked back, and mocked, "You guys move like turtles, and you think you can catch me? Truly laughable."
The grandfather and grandson were infuriated by this creature but were helpless.
When had they ever suffered such humiliation?
They were always the ones to provoke others, never the other way around.
Yu Daohan looked at his grandfather, panting, "Grandpa, let's just forget it."
Although Yu Shuntian was angry, he was also helpless and reluctantly nodded, "Alright."
The two stopped, deciding not to pursue any further.
Yu Daohan gasped for air, surprised, "How can this grass snake run so fast!"
Yu Shuntian agreed with a nod, "I have to admit, this fellow's escape speed is the fastest I've ever seen in my life."
The grass snake could have fled directly, but it stopped about fifty meters away, spoke human words, and taunted, "Is that all you two have?"
"Come on, try to catch me."
With the grandfather and grandson present, it was likely impossible to obtain the dragon bone.
But since they couldn't defeat them, they could only continue to taunt them, preventing them from finding peace.
Yu Shuntian suddenly thought of an idea, winked at Yu Daohan beside him, and whispered a few words into his ear.
Yu Daohan looked at his grandfather, somewhat doubtfully, "Will this work?"
Yu Shuntian's old face showed a mysterious smile, and he took out a talisman, handing it over, "When encountering their natural enemy, even the strongest great demon will tremble."
"Alright."
Yu Daohan nodded, took the talisman, and turned to leave.
Yu Shuntian then looked at the grass snake and provocatively said, "If you can escape, hurry up and flee, otherwise you won't know how you died later."
The grass snake looked disdainful, "Oh really? Come and catch me, go on, try."
Yu Shuntian clenched his fists in anger, then slowly relaxed them, got up, and left, uttering a parting sentence, "If you dare, follow me."
The grass snake naturally knew that the old man was trying to provoke him, but he was not afraid.
Because he was fast!
Yu Shuntian had not taken two steps after turning around when the grass snake followed.
Suddenly, a chicken's crow was heard, and the grass snake's face was filled with shock.
Why was there a chicken's crow?
Could it be that there was a chicken here!
Impossible!
Just as he was stunned, Yu Shuntian suddenly turned around, instantly took out eight silver needles, and shot them rapidly towards the sky.
"No way!"
The grass snake suddenly realized what was happening and turned to run.
"Cluck~"
Another chicken's crow was heard, and the grass snake froze on the spot.
Yu Shuntian seized the opportunity and shouted, "Heavenly Net!"
The silver needles in the air rapidly produced red threads, weaving into a large net that descended.
The grass snake intended to dodge, but another chicken's crow was heard, rendering him unable to move.
Other snakes might not know, but chickens were the natural enemies of grass snakes.
This was an instinctive fear.
Even though he was a great demon of fifteen hundred years, it was no exception.
The grass snake could only watch helplessly as the giant net fell.
Fearing that the creature would escape, Yu Shuntian took out a silver needle and shot it out quickly, hitting the grass snake's vital spot.
Yu Daohan, who had hidden in the woods, saw that the creature was caught and ran out happily, exclaiming, "Grandpa, your method really worked!"
Yu Shuntian looked at the grass snake in the net and smiled, "If it were any other snake, it naturally wouldn't be effective, but he happens to be the weakest grass snake."
The grass snake glared fiercely at the grandfather and grandson, angrily saying, "If you have the guts, release me and fight again, do you dare?"
Yu Daohan's lips curled up upon hearing this, and he smiled, "Oh, can you defeat us?"
The grass snake sneered, "Defeating you is not a problem. If it weren't for your grandfather backing you up, do you think I would fear you?"
Yu Daohan stepped forward, gripping his Kanglong Mace, and said dismissively, "How about we spar again?"
"Sure," the grass snake readily agreed, secretly delighted.
Only a fool would fight you. As soon as I get out, I'll run.
Yu Daohan knew his little trick, and his lips curled up, "Then I'll strike first."
Seeing Yu Daohan raise the Kanglong Mace to strike down, the grass snake anxiously said, "Release me first."
"I never said I would release you."
As soon as Yu Daohan finished speaking, he swung his mace down.
*Squelch*
The grass snake died on the spot.
Fearing that the creature was faking its death, Yu Daohan swung his mace again, and after confirming it was dead, he lifted the large net, somewhat surprised, "This fellow was at least a great demon over a thousand years old, yet his defense is too weak."
Yu Shuntian walked over, looking at the grass snake that had stopped breathing, and explained, "He probably never endured a lightning tribulation, did he?"
"Never endured a lightning tribulation?" Yu Daohan was completely bewildered.
Yu Shuntian nodded, and then explained, "For a demon to cultivate to a certain realm and want to advance further, they must undergo tribulation, letting the lightning tribulation temper their bodies. But this fellow clearly relied on his speed advantage to evade the lightning tribulation. Although he successfully passed the tribulation, his body remained the same. This kind of creature might even be dealt with by a demon of eight hundred years."
"So that's how it is," Yu Daohan nodded in understanding.
He could also see that this creature was useless in everything except speed.
To put it bluntly, he was all show and no substance, just meant to scare people.
