Claiming Kin
Su Yu was interested in the Chuma Immortal, not Yue Li. After all, he still longed for his beloved snake spirit Nagini. If Nagini were to learn these snake spirits' cultivation methods, would she be able to return to her original form?
Turning our gaze back to the battlefield, where the lingering scent of incense had not yet dissipated, the girl's figure suddenly trembled.
The brilliance that once belonged to her faded from her eyes, and a chilling aura emanated from her body, making the surrounding air seem to drop several degrees in temperature.
Her fingernails grew rapidly, gleaming with a cold, eerie gray-white luster, sharp and long, with slightly curved tips like the claws of a python.
Her eyes had turned a murky, dark green, no longer resembling their original appearance. Snake Immortal Granny had already manifested in this body.
Several Shui Xiao roared as they leaped out of the shadows, their bodies dripping foul-smelling muddy water.
The girl's steps were light and gliding, her body possessing the unique, uncanny suppleness of a snake, as she met the attack with only her two sharp claws.
With a sharp, long claw, it slashed down fiercely, tearing the Shui Xiao's body, which was covered in mud and seaweed, apart with a crisp, tearing sound. Black, foul-smelling blood splattered everywhere.
She moved nimbly, her figure elusive, her hands clawing and scratching, each strike tearing through flesh and blood. The Shui Xiao's black mist body was slashed open by her sharp claws, and its yin energy dissipated in patches.
A Shui Xiao lunged at her from the side. She dodged to the side, then swung her claws back and dug them into the demon's shoulder. With a powerful tug, she tore the strange body to Diffindo.
A chilling aura clung to her fingertips, and wherever the Shui Xiao were scratched by her nails, frost would rise from the wounds, their demonic power rapidly dissipating, and mournful screams echoed continuously in the ancient city at the bottom of the lake.
"Hehehehe, it's been a long time since I've gone on such a killing spree! But you monsters are really ugly, don't run away, come and play!"
Another Shui Xiao, carrying murky black water, lunged at her, its mouth full of sharp teeth aimed straight for her neck. The girl neither dodged nor evaded; instead, she twisted her waist strangely, avoiding the attack, while her five sharp claws Cleansweep downwards fiercely, tearing half of the Shui Xiao's body apart, sending fragments of black mist flying everywhere.
"Fellow Daoists, have you seen enough? If so, please show yourselves and let's have a chat. Hiding like this is not the way of upright people."
The girl turned her head, looked at the place where Su Yu and the others were hiding, and chuckled, as if to greet them.
"We're not exactly respectable people either, so do we not need to go out? Besides, I haven't seen enough yet."
Young Master Malfoy didn't quite understand the implied meaning in the words spoken by the students from the University of East University. He thought they meant that only the good guys should come forward, while the villains should be left out.
"What's going on? Are there other people here?"
Meng You hurriedly retreated, nervously looking in the direction the girl was looking, his hands forming hand seals, assuming a posture ready to attack at any moment.
"Confucian boy, relax. The energy on the other side is so powerful it scares even me. Even if you crush your magic spells, you might not be able to do any harm. Hopefully, they're not some kind of evil sorcerer, otherwise, even I might not survive today."
The girl giggled, showing no sign of nervousness, and even teased Meng You a little, which made Meng You even more nervous, staring intently in the direction of Su Yu.
"No, brother, there's a battle going on! It's one thing if you don't help, but why are you chatting? We can't hold on much longer..."
The Daoist priest flung out the last few talismans he had on him, turned around and shouted angrily. In that moment of distraction, the Shui Xiao slashed his arm, causing him to wince in pain.
"Let me do it, Flame..."
Malfoy was pulled back by Theodore before he could finish his Fiendfyre Curse.
"Idiot, this is all wooden buildings from East University. Do you think you can kill us all here with a single Fiendfyre Curse?"
"Heh, I just didn't expect that. Besides, why are you yelling so loudly!"
If it weren't for the fact that lightning couldn't be drawn from the bottom of the lake, Theodore would have loved to strike him dead with a bolt of lightning. Malfoy hadn't learned a single good thing from Pansy.
Pansy blushed and apologized to Theodore. After all, young Master Malfoy was quick-witted and knew how to apply his knowledge effectively. He was truly brilliant.
Su Yu didn't waste any words. What's the most abundant thing at the bottom of the lake? It must be sand. A large amount of river sand gradually seeped out from the cracks in the bluestone slabs, quickly enveloping all the Shui Xiao. In the blink of an eye, the town was filled with sandbags about half the size of a person.
"Sand Burial!"
Blood-red sand exploded everywhere, filling the entire town with a stench. Blood rain fell on Meng You and his two companions, who were still in shock. The girl had already activated her own barrier, keeping the sand mixed with the stench of blood outside.
Malfoy a strong wind blew by, carrying away the stench.
The four watched as a handsome young man with dark hair from the East emerged from a room, leading several blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners. Their hearts, which had just settled, jumped again. The words of thanks they were about to say stuck in their throats, and they stood there, stunned for a moment.
"Oh? I didn't expect you to be a bunch of foreigners. Tell me, what brings you here? If you can't answer me, I'll risk my life to kill a few of these foreign devils for you to see."
The girl had already extended her ten sharp claws, the smile on her face had vanished, leaving only a solemn expression, her legs were tense, and she was ready to launch an attack at any moment.
"I am Su Yu from the Su Family of Shanghai. Senior, we mean no harm."
Su Yu cupped his hands in greeting and bowed to his senior. He was not like Harry, that stupid idiot who had a mother but no mother to raise him, a good-for-nothing who didn't know anything about manners.
"The Su Family of Shanghai? What proof do they have?"
Snake Immortal Granny wouldn't easily believe Su Yu's words. The Su Family of Shanghai was one of the four great families in the city; did he really think you could just say whatever you wanted?
Su Yu then threw out a jade pendant, which was proof of his identity and had been given to him by his father earlier.
"Oh dear, child, you should have said so sooner! You made Grandma worry for so long. I used to hold your father in my arms back then. Come here, let Grandma see you. Look at you! In the blink of an eye, your skinny dad already has a child. He's so handsome and adorable!"
After taking the jade pendant and glancing at it, Snake Immortal Granny's attitude underwent a complete 180-degree turn, almost making Su Yu flinch. What was all this about? How did it all come to the point that his father looked like a skinny monkey?
Snake Immortal Granny pulled Su Yu close, scrutinizing him from head to toe. The more she looked, the more she liked him. "You child," she said, "I heard you went to Britain, right? What's so great about that place? It's full of uncivilized barbarians. What if they corrupt you? You're the only heir of the Su Family! You haven't suffered much out there, have you? Poor child, look how thin you've become! Your unreliable father is really something. Is there anyone at home who can't take care of you? Why did he have to leave you in a foreign land? Remember, when you come back this time, you must come to Grandma's house. Grandma will have to give you a good makeover. How will you get married if you're this thin? By the way, speaking of getting married, is there any girl you like? Let me tell you, there are plenty of girls in the family. Don't follow your unreliable father's example. Grandma can introduce you to a hundred or two hundred girls. Surely you'll find one you like, right? You can always marry a few more. The Su Family just doesn't have enough people..."
Snake Immortal Granny wouldn't stop talking to Su Yu Su Yu, who didn't even know how to interject. Meng You and the other two were also dumbfounded, staring at Snake Immortal Granny. They had never seen this aunt so enthusiastic before. Grandma, you've never even cared for your own children like this...
"She spoke too fast, I didn't hear her clearly, but did she just curse at us...?"
Malfoy leaned close to Pansy's ear and whispered something.
"Possibly, but I didn't hear clearly..."
