Sword from the Immortal Mountain

Chapter 94: Killing the Snake

Hearing Chen Jin calling the snake demon a beast, Cai Mei immediately became unhappy and shouted, "You poor fellow, my Xiao Hong is a spiritual beast, how can she be compared with your cattle and horses that pull carts?"

Chen Jin said coldly: "Since you have spiritual power, you dare to eat people, you deserve to die!"

"well said."

Ye Yanke said loudly: "Scholar, I was helping you feed your horse, but I caused your horse to be bitten to death by a snake demon. This is my fault. My master taught me since I was a child that I should admit my mistakes. Therefore, I should kill this snake to atone for my sins and avenge the horse."

As he said this, he leaped forward and stabbed the snake's waist and abdomen with the heavy sword in his hand.

Liu Wan was there at the moment, unable to save him in time; Cai Mei came closer and screamed, "How dare you, thief?"

He raised his hand and used the long whip to sweep away Ye Yanke's sword.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yanke's stab was a feint. He took a side step and quickly came in front of the snake demon.

Seeing this, the snake demon raised its head, opened its mouth, and bit down viciously.

"Well done!"

Ye Yanke jumped up and swung his heavy sword.

Click!
He swung the sword down, hitting the snake's neck squarely.

Then a snake skull as big as a millstone rolled to the ground, but suddenly bounced up, grinning and baring its teeth, flying over to bite, very viciously.

Ye Yanke was prepared. He raised his sword and slapped the snake's head to the ground, turning it into a ball of rotten meat.

"You! You deserve to die!"

Cai Mei was furious and lashed with the whip.

Ye Yanke's swordsmanship is exquisite. With a single point and a slash of the sword tip, it is so sharp that it cuts the long whip in half immediately.

Cai Mei's weapon was broken and she was so frightened that she quickly jumped away.

Liu Wan arrived and held her shoulders: "Junior Sister Cai, you are no match for him, don't be reckless."

Cai Mei cried and said, "But he killed Xiaohong... Wuwuwu, Xiaohong was so cute, but she was killed by him just because she did something wrong."

Her eyes were red, and she pointed at Chen Jin: "And him! He was the one who ordered this, and he is the culprit."

Ye Yanke strode to stand in front of Chen Jin and said, "The killing of the snake demon was done by me alone. It has nothing to do with others. If you Chimei sect members want to cause trouble, just come after me."

Liu Wan stared at him and said, "Ye Yanke, right? This matter is not over yet. I, the Red Eyebrows, will definitely seek an explanation from you."

"Of course this matter is not over yet."

The one who spoke was Chen Jin. He walked out leisurely and said, "The snake demon is dead. It just happened to be a life for my horse. The snake demon devoured so many people before, and the account has not been settled yet."

Cai Mei screamed, "Xiao Hong is dead, what else do you want?"

Liu Wan's eyes narrowed, and she laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, how do you want to settle it?"

Chen Jin said calmly, "I am not the victim of the snake demon eating people. I am a reasonable person, so I will not speak carelessly. Since both parties agree to the compensation plan you discussed with the villagers earlier, just proceed according to it."

He Agui and the others were so shocked that they were stunned.

They swallowed their anger and had already accepted the fact. As long as they got compensation from the Red Eyebrows, they would live a decent life from now on.

This matter is over.

As long as you are alive, especially when you have family around you, you must always look forward.

Unexpectedly, the situation took a sudden turn. Because of a horse, Ye Yanke actually killed the snake demon with his sword.

In fact, when they saw the snake demon being killed, everyone felt so happy that they couldn't wait to shout "good"!
But soon, fear began to grow in his heart.

The snake that was killed was not an ordinary snake, but the mountain-guarding spirit snake of the Red Eyebrow Sect. What will be the result when the news reaches the Red God Mountain?
Will their Datang Village be implicated as well?
If so, how could he withstand the wrath of the Red Eyebrows?

It’s over. This time it must be over…

In addition to being afraid, some people even couldn't help but blame Ye Yanke.

Blame him for being impulsive and actually killing the snake demon. Didn't this intensify the conflict and make things worse?
It was all agreed upon.

Ye Yanke is a swordsman with no ties and can just walk away; Chen Jin is a scholar with honors and the Red Eyebrows probably won't do anything to him.

But what should the people in Datang Village do?
Just as he was panicking, he heard Chen Jin say, "This matter is not over yet," and then demanded that the Red Eyebrows pay compensation according to the originally agreed price.

So everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do. He Agui swallowed his saliva and waved his hand quickly, saying, "Mr. Chen, no need, no need to pay."

Ye Yanke couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and said loudly: "Why not? Your children, your descendants, are all living lives. They suffered an unexpected disaster and were eaten alive. Isn't it worth the thirty strings of money? Although the snake demon is dead, the people of the Red Eyebrow Sect, as the master and supervisor, cannot escape the responsibility and must pay compensation."

"So you are all here."

Someone said suddenly.

Then, with their clothes fluttering, the three of them came together.

There were three young men.

From the gorgeous clothes they wore and their eyebrows painted red, it can be confirmed that they were all disciples of the Red Eyebrow Sect.

The young man in the lead was quite tall, with a pointed face that looked feminine; his eyes were narrow and long, with a strange light flashing in them.

"Eldest brother?"

Cai Mei shouted in surprise and immediately rushed over: "Big Brother, Xiao Hong was killed. They also wanted to kill me and Senior Sister Liu."

The eldest brother had already seen the snake demon with its head and body separated, and he immediately shouted angrily: "Who did it?"

Liu Wan hurried over and explained the whole story.

After hearing this, the eldest senior brother said with a stern face: "Junior Sister Liu, how can you just agree to compensate me? If you do that, wouldn't that mean you admit that Xiao Hong was wrong? If it gets out, it will ruin the reputation of our Chimei sect."

Liu Wan explained: "Xiaohong ate people after all."

"so what?"

The eldest brother raised his voice: "Xiao Hong is only slightly intelligent, but does not understand human nature. It is hungry, so shouldn't it eat? Eating those people is like eating pigs and sheep, it's no big deal."

"That's it."

Cai Mei echoed repeatedly.

"You, are you still speaking human language?"

When He Agui and the others heard this, they were filled with grief and indignation, and they wanted to rush over and fight to the death.

"Great, what a great reputation for the Red Eyebrow Sect!"

Ye Yanke slapped his heavy sword and said, "Before I ventured into the martial arts world, I often heard people say that the martial arts world is dangerous and has no sense of honor or righteousness. Now I see that it is true."

Cai Mei pointed her finger over and said, "Big Brother, he was the one who killed Xiao Hong."

Then he pointed at Chen Jin and said, "And him, this scholar, is the messenger. It was because Xiao Hong bit a horse to death."

"good very good!"

The eldest brother said this with a sinister tone.

He first glanced at Ye Yanke, then his gaze fell on Chen Jin, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

It was a strange light.

It was gloomy, eerie, and chilly, like the gaze of a poisonous snake.

The next moment, the two pupils in the eldest brother's eyes suddenly changed, turning into two vertical pupils, and the pupil light exuded a cold aura.

Chen Jin was meeting his gaze, and in that instant, he felt a vicious chill piercing his eyes.

Eyes are the gateway to a person and are very important. When you see others, they will also see you.

Within the scope of spiritual practice, this is the essence of the method of "visualization and induction".

To put it simply, when you are sensing others, others can also sense you.

The difference lies in who is strong and who is weak, who is the primary and who is the secondary.

Now, the eldest senior brother's eyes turned into snake pupils, and he used his special magic to snatch Chen Jin's body away at first sight.
