Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 685 - 684: You need to see with your ears and your heart
Chapter 685: Chapter 684: You need to see with your ears and your heart
The villagers were also spectating at the Bixia Temple as they dealt with the Snake Demon.
Even bound to the pillar, the massive snake’s four sharp fangs looked chilling. Its bright red tongue flicked in and out, and its slit pupils fixed intently on the little child with a sword standing in front of it.
The sword seemed even bigger than the child, who had to use both hands to hold it firmly.
But to the Snake Demon, these were not the main points. What mattered was that it saw surging Spiritual Qi around the child, as if the child’s body were emblazoned with the words "I am delicious".
So tasty!
This Snake Demon had always had a preference for eating humans, and now spotting its favored meal, drool continuously dribbled from the corners of its mouth.
Unfortunately for it, it was now chained and could not move at all.
Regret filled the Snake Demon’s eyes.
As it lamented its impending death without a taste of something delicious, the chains that bound it were suddenly unlocked.
The spectating crowd was terrified: "Good heavens, the chains didn’t hold the Snake Demon? Can this little child still successfully kill the Snake Demon?"
"This child is a disciple of Daoist Master Wu Chen, he should be able to kill the Snake Demon, right?"
"Never mind that, I think we should worry about ourselves instead. Now that the Snake Demon is free, could it start a massacre against us??"
The onlooking villagers were all talking at once when suddenly Wu Chenzi took to the sky, hovering in mid-air, and said to them, "Do not be afraid, everyone. I, the Old Daoist, have prepared a Barrier around us, You can watch my disciple’s battle with the Demon at ease, it won’t harm you in the slightest."
Wu Chenzi was highly respected, and with his reassurance, the villagers truly felt at ease and resumed their watch over the great battle between the human and the snake.
By now, the Snake Demon had slithered onto the ground and realized it could move freely; its vertical pupils were filled with excitement.
If it ate the Spiritual Child, what was this puny barrier to it?
It would grow stronger, and even eating Wu Chenzi would not be impossible!
This was the chance, the only chance! It was its opportunity to gain freedom, and then to become the Demon King, ruling over both the Demon Realm and the Human Realm! As long as it was fast enough, ate fast enough!
The Snake Demon excitedly circled around Mianmian, its body marked with cuts like those inflicted by a knife. Some wounds had not yet healed and bled as it rubbed against the ground.
But the Snake Demon paid them no mind, focusing intensely on Mianmian, who held the sword with both hands, and said, "Little child, that sword is so heavy, I think you’d better not hold it."
Mianmian’s little face and lips were tightly pursed.
Initially, Wu Chenzi had only asked her to execute the Snake Demon, to cut it open as she normally would stones and trees, with no mention that the Snake Demon would move or even attack her.
Wu Chenzi sure loved to deceive, what a big liar!
Mianmian inwardly cursed Wu Chenzi a couple of times, hugging the sword even tighter.
She had never truly fought with a Demon before, and her first fight was against a snake, one that looked so frightening at that! She wasn’t sure if she could do it.
Seeing Mianmian’s small legs begin to tremble, the Snake Demon snickered and spit out a cloud of poison fog.
This was the Snake Demon’s specialty, the green poison fog not only obscured the enemy’s vision but also slowly poisoned them. The last time Wu Chenzi caught it, he nearly died from this very tactic.
Unfortunately, Wu Chenzi was too ruthless. While being bitten by the Snake Demon, he grabbed a disciple nearby to use as a shield.
That bite from the Snake Demon was releasing snake venom it had accumulated over three years, just a small amount.
With its trump card blocked, even with the poison fog, the Snake Demon was still captured alive by Wu Chenzi.
This time, the Snake Demon once again released the poison fog, aiming not only to block Mianmian’s vision but also Wu Chenzi’s. Under the dense fog, even if Wu Chenzi wanted to save someone, his movements would be slowed due to the blurred vision.
By then, who’s to say it wouldn’t have already eaten the Spiritual Child!
Every time the Snake Demon thought of that scene, it would feel blood boiling in excitement.
The poison fog grew denser, and Mianmian’s little face showed utter panic.
The mist looked like clouds but did not possess the clouds’ purity. It emitted a ghostly green color, scaring children to death.
Even before the poison fog had fully formed, Mianmian fixed her gaze on the Snake Demon and swung her first sword toward its location. Sword Qi spread out in ripples, striking the Barrier which blocked these ripples completely, causing it to tremble.
But the Snake Demon wasn’t injured; just as the Sword Qi reached it, it swiftly dodged the attack.
After a while, the poison gas filled the entire area.
Mianmian couldn’t see anything anymore and felt dizzy.
The hand holding her sword was almost strengthless, relying solely on her will to persevere.
Seeing this, Wu Chenzi took the initiative to say, "Little apprentice, Master let the Snake Demon fight with you to test the results of your studies these past days."
"Now, you cannot see with your eyes, but in some situations, you need to see with your ears and heart."
——See with your ears and heart.
At first, Mianmian didn’t understand how to see with her ears.
It wasn’t until the Snake Demon suddenly lunged at her and opened its mouth to bite that the sound of the Snake Demon’s mouth opening and closing made her realize the meaning of seeing with her ears.
A person’s ears can tell from the sound where it’s coming from, allowing them to dodge.
Mianmian’s little legs scurried, using the Eight Diagrams Steps taught by Wu Chenzi; she ran to the other side of the Snake Demon.
She struck out again with her sword, and missed once more.
The Demon and the little girl exchanged moves in the fog, each failing to gain an advantage over the other multiple times.
The Snake Demon couldn’t help but lament, "Truly a natural-born Spiritual Child. It’s a pity, though, that you’ve become Wu Chenzi’s little lackey, destined to turn your sword against us demons in the future."
Mianmian was a bit angry and immediately replied, "I am not a dog, I am Su Mianmian."
"How are you not a dog? You’re trying to kill me because he told you to, that makes you a dog."
"No," Mianmian gripped her sword tightly, "Mianmian wants to kill you because you ate a human."
This was also what Wu Chenzi had taught her, that demons who consumed humans would be enveloped in a shroud of dark karma. Therefore, the Snake Demon deserved to die as it was a bad Snake Demon that could not live peacefully with humans.
"Hahaha, I am a snake, why can’t I eat humans?" The Snake Demon laughed uproariously toward the sky. After laughing for a while, it then asked, "You say you’re killing me because I’ve eaten humans, but what about that little fox’s daddy? Has he eaten humans, too?"
Hearing the Snake Demon’s words, Mianmian fell silent.
After a while, she finally spoke, "He hasn’t, but he has killed. He killed my parents. It’s only right and proper for me to avenge my parents."
That, too, was what Wu Chenzi had said!
Whoever killed her parents, she would kill in return.
Mianmian once again tightly grasped her sword, silently chanting a spell under her breath.
The Spiritual Power around her began to stir, and the sword in her hand levitated, suddenly generating a multitude of sword images in the air. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
The sword images, covering the sky, headed toward the Snake Demon crawling on the ground.
This time, the Snake Demon couldn’t evade, succumbing to thousands of swords piercing its heart!
