Chapter 688: Dumb Immortal
Sam looked at Hou Yi who is currently feeling the effects of poison.
He is wondering how long he would take to realize.
When someone thinks of fighting Sam, the poison wouldn’t be the first thought. They often forget about it, because of the rest of his dominant abilities.
And Hou Yi did the same. Even when he is suffering the corroding effect of his wounds. He just attributed it with the property of the sword itself which is true.
But since the corroding poison is the dominant one of all, and his anger clouding his stupid mind, he couldn’t focus on the changes.
Sam smirked at the thought that even an immortal is this easy to fool when he is this conceited.
Hou Yi’s energy ran rampant as if he didn’t care anymore. But Sam noticed that he is expelling so much energy and burning his blood in process so that he could get rid of the poison.
This is one of the crudest method of eliminating the poison from the body.
But Sam didn’t care, he just made his move and was about to use the same method once again. But this time, after the shadow blocked the attack, Sam didn’t make the follow up move. He halted in his tracks and puked a mouthful of blood.
The shadow was destroyed completely. It is a permanent destruction making it impossible to recover.
Sam looked at Hou Yi coldly.
“Do you think that you are the only one who used necromancy against me?”
Sam didn’t reply and was about to make his move. Once again another arrow came and he tried to block it with the sword. But the arrow seemed to have disappeared into thin air before he felt the piercing pain on his left shoulder as the energy ran rampant.
He once again halted in his tracks and bit on the handle of the sword in his right hand as he used the now free hand to remove the arrow.
“You are also not the first one who used a sword to cut my arrows.” Hou Yi continued with disdain almost materializing around him.
Sam increased his speed to the limit as he tried to dodge the arrows now that he couldn’t block it.
But it turned out to be futile, the best he can do is get a graze on his skin. As for completely dodging it is almost impossible.
Sam thought for a bit and this time, when he swung the sword, the spiritual energy rippled in the air and the direction of the arrow changed.
Sam used the ripple style and when the arrow didn’t connect, Hou Yi couldn’t help but feel stunned. So, one of Sam’s light sword ray hit him in the chest.
Sam followed with the attacks, but Hou Yi is smart enough to not stand there like an idiot.
Sam who now noticed that the ripple style is working, didn’t hold back anymore.
He decided to use it and used to full extent and now not even a single arrow can make him budge. He just ran straight towards Hou Yi to reduce the distance. But it is hard as that guy is not so weak in terms of physique and the speed.
The speed is not as fast as Sam, but this guy can integrate his movements well with his archery.
No matter how much of a shit he is, damn is he good at battle?
The exchange was intense, Sam started shifting to his elements as he battled so that he could mess up the rhythm of Hou Yi.
The battle became intense. Sam is having a hard time. In fact this is the hardest battle he ever fought in a while. The pressure is increasing. Even though, the fights with Sun Wukong and Kartikeya are hard, they are meant for learninig.
They taught Sam through a fight. But now it is pure enmity. Sam’s experience of all these days is not enough to even the field with an immortal even if the latter reduced the cultivation.
All of a sudden, Sam halted his attacks.
He could see two ways from this point. One is to use the method with his flute and all his elements and the second one is to use his gadgets.
Both of them had his pros and cons.
The first method will definitely work, but Sam is not exactly sure as he would be dead tired after the attack was over and since this is just a duplicate body of Hou Yi, he might be able to find some loophole over the situation and kill him in his weakened state.
Sam should be in a condition that any trick Hou Yi employed must take a certain amount of time which would give him a chance to escape or someone to intervene.
As for why he is confident someone would intervene that thought is supported by the fact that Hou Yi suddenly changed his mind out of nowhere from trying to kill him to giving generous rewards.
He knew that something must have changed in such a short period of time. So, he gave up on the first method and opted to the second.
Sam’s body turned to a brown rocky texture as he used his earth element. His arms expanded as a large rock appeared in it out of thin air.
Hou Yi looked at it with a disdainful smile. He didn’t expect that Sam would resort to this method. The only thought in his mind was how to torture Sam as he sensed Sam’s despair from this method.
Sam threw the rock straight at Hou Yi and another rock appeared in his second hand. He started throwing rocks one after another as if he wanted to kill Hou Yi with these rocks.
Hou Yi smiled as he made some flashy moves and shot the arrows at the rocks.
Sam smiled at his action and his body turned transparent as he used the water element. All of this happened within a second.
When Hou Yi saw Sam’s smile, he felt that something wrong.
The arrows hit the rocks and…
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*.
The rocks exploded with a large amount of purple powder coming out of it. The whole area was filled with it.
This is one of Sam’s new toys, these rocks are not formed from his earth element, rather he took them out from the storage. He already used earth element to make all these rocks hollow and filled it up with the poison powder.
Even though this method seems dumb, it is actually quite practical. Not many people will check the incoming attacks with their spiritual sense and scan it to see if it is real or not.
And not for these obvious looking attacks. The lingering earth elemental energy Sam placed on it before throwing them wouldn’t help.
Sam used his transparency to his advantage as he moved within the purple powder area.
Hou Yi who inhaled the powder and the powder that deposited on him profusely is not making his parts burn, it is also making him feeling like his blood is burning.
He is in so much pain all of a sudden. As he tried to make himself calm and sensed the surroundings to check for Sam, he realized that he has been too late.
Sam already cleared the distance.
He held his bow, drew the string and released it. The spiritual energy wave sent the poison powder flying all around and created a space without any poison.
But Sam already neared him. He didn’t attack. No stabs, no punches, no kicks. But Hou Yi felt like he would have been better off if Sam did all of that as he was ready for those attacks. But Sam did something unique.
He just hugged from the rear as his body turned metallic blue. He held him in a bear hug and the metal expanded to hold Hou Yi down for a brief second. He didn’t give him any chance to resist and directly heated his own body with his fire element making the expansion easy as well as burning Hou YI’s skin off.
“Arghhh.”
Hou Yi groaned in pain.
“AAAARRGGGGGHHHH.”
But the next moment, the groans turned into screams.
Sam’s metallic body suddenly has the sharp spikes protruded as he stabbed him in several spots at the same time. The skin is too thick and the muscles are too tough for him to just stab through him from one side to other.
But he didn’t need that.
The fire element was deactivated and he even used the water element to cool down a bit and them all of a sudden, the lightning element kicked in.
The electricity crackled as it was directly injected into Hou Yi’s body as he shook wildly.
Sam held him in place and didn’t let go. Soon, Hou Yi started losing his senses. Even his hair became crisp and smoke started coming off of his head.
Sam finally let him go and he fell forward helpless. But Sam didn’t relax with this. He took out the staff and gave a few hits with void style on the spine and even used the observation ability to see the cracks.
He finally smiled as he spoke.
“Hou Yi, the god of archery. And this is all you could amount to. Falling for such a cheap trick. Anyway fun is not over yet.”
Sam moved his staff which made a hole at the rear of Hou Yi’s pants and he stabbed the staff straight in his Anus.
“ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHH.” He found the voice he lost due to the lightning.
Sam just smirked and performed a three sixty degree kick straight on the other end of the staff.
“AAAAAAAAAARRRRHHHHHHHHHHHH”
The screams increased even more and blood could be seen flowing down.
Sam took the staff and threw it away before taking out a small needle cum methane grenade before placing it in that hole of the pants right in between the ass cheeks.
He squatted down and said to Hou Yi in his ears in a cold and venomous voice.
“The day I meet you in real, will be the start of your worst time. I will make you wish that I was never born. Mere word about me will want you to tear the whole world apart and after all that suffering there will come a day where we would face each other.
That day, the situation will end in the same way it is doing now. Remember this.”
With that, he pressed on the trigger of the grenade and jumped back.
*BOOM*
*AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”
The explosion was followed by a scream as the upper half of the body slowly disappeared.
