Chapter 434: A Bet!
The fingerprint condensed as the black-robed youth seemed prepared beforehand, snapping his finger, an encompassing dark and brilliant light burst from his fingertip, shooting directly towards the Dark Golden Demon Falcon.
In that instant, Dark Golden Demon Falcon appeared to sense something, halting its attack.
Knowing it could not withstand a direct confrontation, the Dark Golden Demon Falcon flapped its wings, the golden radiance shimmering as it attempted to control the fingerprint, its wings also possessing a defensive capability.
"Swoosh..."
The fingerprint fell, emitting the clang of a metal weapon, as radiance swirled around. Although the Dark Golden Demon Falcon managed to withstand the attack, it wavered several times mid-air, looking rather disheveled, with numerous feathers falling off.
"What strength!"
Su Yi kept staring, his heart trembling with fear. The figure he saw was extremely formidable, judging from the actions taken, he was definitely not an ordinary person, and even less like an inner disciple of the Divine Sword School.
"Who is it, how can he be so powerful!"
Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, Liu Ji, the Black Demon Mastiff, etc. also rushed up and stood by Su Yi's side, quickly scanning everything around them with their eyes.
"Chirp..."
The wings hurt, suffering a loss, the Dark Golden Demon Falcon roared angrily, ready to continue the attack with all its strength.
"Come back!"
Su Yi spoke and stopped the Dark Golden Demon Falcon. It could be seen that with the strength of the Dark Golden Demon Falcon, it would be difficult to deal with the opponent even after a battle.
"Chirp..."
Although the Dark Golden Demon Falcon was furious, upon hearing Su Yi's words, it immediately retreated and hovered low behind him, its sharp pupils contracting on the figure on the half-cut tree.
"Huh..."
That figure seemed to be surprised by something unusual, and in surprise, the earth element aura around its body receded, revealing its form.
This was a young boy who appeared to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, definitely younger than Xu Jiahui.
Under a well-fitted black robe, the young boy had a slender figure, sword-like eyebrows, phoenix-like eyes, a straight nose, thin lips, and crystal-clear eyes that seemed devoid of any impure thoughts or vulgarity. He was very delicate.
It had to be said that this was a charming young man, whose handsome face was of a different style compared to Su Yi's.
With the tempering of the past few years, Su Yi's elegance has diminished slightly, replaced by some sharpness and fortitude, invisibly giving off an imposing and charismatic aura.
However, this young man is purely exquisite, like a handsome younger neighbor who makes people want to get close.
"So small!"
Yet, upon seeing this boy, both Xu Jiahui and Zhang Qing couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The terrible figure who could fight the Dark Golden Demon Falcon was just a boy who seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old and looked even younger than Su Yi.
Initially, the comparison of Su Yi's age and cultivation level had already shocked Xu Jiahui and Zhang Qing immensely.
However, this younger boy, who was even smaller than Su Yi, had such formidable strength, leaving Zhang Qing, Xu Jiahui and others amazed.
While gazing at the young boy, Su Yi was also struck with shock.
Su Yi has always had some confidence in his own cultivation among his peers.
But now, seeing this young man, it made Su Yi's heart tremble.
"Is he not a disciple of the Divine Sword School?"
Zhang Qing, Liu Ji, Wang Fan, etc. snapped out of their daze and carefully examined the young man. He was not dressed in the attire of a Divine Sword School disciple, nor did he have a Divine Sword School emblem.
The black-robed youth's black hair stirred slightly, and at this moment he was also scrutinizing Su Yi and others, especially looking at those demon beasts who were all standing behind Su Yi, obviously submissive and obedient, which was very surprising.
"Are you the outer disciples of the Divine Sword School?"
The young man couldn't resist speaking first. His eyes were as clear as crystal immersed in water, with a slight uplift at the corners, making him a handsome and delicate young man, enough to make a girl's heart flutter.
"Young man, who are you?"
Su Yi spoke up in surprise, wondering if this young man was not an inner disciple of the Divine Sword School or even less likely, an outer disciple. He couldn't recall seeing him on the Heavenly Stairs either.
But if he wasn't a disciple of the Divine Sword School, he wouldn't have been able to enter the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. This puzzled Su Yi and piqued his curiosity.
"You're not much older than me, so calling me 'young man' may be a bit exaggerated. Tell me, did you subdue these demon beasts?"
The young man gazed at Su Yi, standing on the trunk of a tree with his black robe fluttering and a remarkable aura about him.
"Why should I tell you?"
Su Yi smiled slightly and looked at the young man, seemingly wanting to discover something from his expression.
"Because I have no interest in ordinary outer and inner disciples. If these demon beasts are tamed by you, then you must have some ability. I will make an exception and accept you as my follower!" The youth was very proud and confident as he spoke to Su Yi.
"You want to accept me as your follower?"
Su Yi was taken aback, looked at the young man, and then smiled.
"Yes, but it depends on your abilities. I don't plan to accept any followers who are not qualified!" The youth spoke seriously without joking.
Su Yi looked at the young man and his eyes flickered. He smiled and took a breath, saying, "Young man, the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords is very dangerous..."
As Su Yi's words fell, Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, Liu Ji, and others' expressions changed, and they looked at the black-robed youth with ambiguous eyes.
At this moment, Xu Jiahui and Zhang Qing could only pray for the black-robed young man.
"Dangerous, so you follow me, and I will lead you out of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. Of course, you must have the qualifications!" The black-clothed youth said seriously to Su Yi.
"Or how about we make a bet?"
Su Yi looked at the young man, his eyes slightly turning as if he was contemplating something.
"A bet?"
The young man was surprised, his clear eyes showing some confusion.
"Yes, a bet. If I lose in a battle against you, then you can do whatever you want with me."
Looking at the black-clothed youth, Su Yi said with a hint of darkness in his eyes, "But if you lose, then you must follow my command."
"I will not be defeated!"
The black-robed youth pointed directly at Su Yi, exuding confidence and strength. His aura began to fluctuate as he said, "You will surely lose!"
"Do you mean to accept?" Su Yi asked.
"As you wish. Let us fight and see if you have the strength to become my follower!" The black-robed youth's aura continued to intensify as his earth-elemental energy surged out.
"Fine, it's a deal."
Su Yi laughed, greatly satisfied.
Seeing this, Xu Jiahui and Zhang Qing's eyes flickered, feeling that Su Yi seemed to have dug a big hole and the black-robed young man seemed to have jumped straight into it.
