Chapter 593: Chapter 593: Counter Trap

Jiang Xiaobai walked straight to where Gu Ning and his companion were sitting, greeted them, then sat down to meditate.

Before closing his eyes, he cast a glance of cold laughter at Su Tian.

The reason he had deliberately brushed past Su Tian earlier was simply because he wanted to test his patience.

Sure enough, his test had revealed Su Tian to be a conniving trickster trying to trap him.

Jiang Xiaobai had been prepared for this, having purposely stopped abruptly earlier.

If he hadn’t been prepared and was just a normal Tianxuan Continent late-stage Fusion talent, he definitely would have been seriously injured by that blow.

This bastard, thinking of trapping him? Well, prepare to be trapped in return!

Having gleaned Su Tian’s intentions, Jiang Xiaobai no longer wasted his time and resumed his cultivation.

He didn’t regard Su Tian as a concern, even though Su Tian happened to be a peak stage Crossing Tribulation talent who came from one of the top three thousand worlds.

From their earlier exchanges, Jiang Xiaobai recognized that dealing with Su Tian would not be difficult.

And this man was nowhere near comparable to Qiongyu!

All the elf talents had attacked together earlier, so Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t decipher the extent of Qiongyu’s abilities, but he knew her strength was formidable.

If he didn’t use other means, he might not be a match for Qiongyu.

An hour flew by, and Jiang Xiaobai had recovered most of his spiritual energy.

The elf talents also stood up one by one, continuing their journey under Qiongyu’s guidance.

They were all convinced that the exit was in this direction.

Although everyone was alert along the way, Su Tian continued to cause disturbances.

He constantly taunted and ridiculed them.

“You’re lucky to have bumped into us. I’m telling you this is the direct route to the exit.”

“And Qiongyu is too soft-hearted, that’s why she allowed you to join us. Otherwise, with you three useless bums, you would be corpses in less than a day here!”

“Even though you showed some prowess earlier, daring to attract the attention of the giant ape, so what? In this world, simply having courage is not enough.”

“Everything requires strength, understanding that is crucial.”

With an arrogant smirk on his face, Su Tian’s eyes were filled with undisguised haughtiness.

A snooty person indeed, perfectly describes someone like him!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai was speechless. He had previously discussed elven matters with Gu Ning and knew that the elves were arrogant, but he had not expected Su Tian to be such an oddball among them.

While everyone else kept quiet, he was the only one babbling incessantly.

If it weren’t for the perilous trials they were in, Jiang Xiaobai would have sorted him out properly, straighten him up!

He needed to teach this guy a lesson about the real world!

Furthermore, Jiang Xiaobai knew better than anyone how the giant ape had died.

Yet this idiot was still gloating, claiming that without the combined efforts of the elven talents, Jiang Xiaobai would be useless.

If Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t kept his full abilities hidden, would this guy even have had a chance to make trouble?

In this manner, under Su Tian’s constant nagging, the group travelled for a full day without encountering any danger.

Jiang Xiaobai had gone from ignoring to being irritated, and eventually to becoming numb.

He no longer cared what nonsense Su Tian was spouting.

Even though he had harbored murderous intentions towards this buffoon before, he even considered using the Soul Blade secretly to kill him outright.

However, since everyone knew the two of them had inexplicable animosity, if Su Tian were to suddenly die, who could guarantee that the elves wouldn’t suspect him?

Jiang Xiaobai could only swallow his anger and continued to wait for an opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Finally, that opportunity arrived on the second day!

As the group navigated the path, Jiang Xiaobai was once again fortunate to step on a trigger, setting off a trap.

The entire floor of the path sunk steeply, trapping several people who couldn’t fly and were falling down into it.

The people trapped inside didn’t know what terrifying things would happen, they frantically tried to scramble upwards.

But due to their panic, not everyone could react quickly enough to get out.

Apart from Jiang Xiaobai, Su Tian was among those trapped within.

As Jiang Xiaobai was about to jump out, Su Tian suddenly ‘extended his helping hand’ from behind, his powerful force pulling on Jiang Xiaobai’s ankle, preventing him from escaping.

This time, Jiang Xiaobai could not hold back. He shot Su Tian a cold smile and stopped trying to jump out.

At this moment, inside the sunken space, a red liquid began seeping out of the ground. As soon as the liquid appeared, Jiang Xiaobai felt a terrible corrosive force.

He immediately tried to scramble upward.

Noticing something was wrong, Su Tian began to move too, but even in his hurry, he didn’t forget to ‘help’ Jiang Xiaobai again.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiaobai was prepared this time and instantly conjured the Soul Blade, aimed straight at Su Tian’s heart.

The invisible Soul Blade was untraceable.

The moment it was aimed at him, Su Tian was instantly engulfed with a sense of impending death!

Seizing his moment of shock, Jiang Xiaobai feigned a stumble and kicked Su Tian square in the chest, sending him tumbling back.

At the same time, he leaped to safety.

“Ah!”

A piercing scream sounded from the pit as Su Tian, his body emitting smoke, shot up from below.

As soon as he emerged, he immediately threw down a pair of metallic shoes from his feet. The shoes, made of an unknown material, looked extraordinarily precious. Now, the soles of the shoes were stained with the red liquid, which was continuously corroding the bottom.

In less than three seconds, the entire pair of metallic shoes dissolved into a pool of red liquid.

Clearly, this was Su Tian’s urgent response while in danger. His feet, although corroded to some extent, were not severely damaged.

It was presumably because he had changed his shoes at the first available moment.

He had not suffered any substantial damage, yet his face was deathly pale.

Seeing all this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but shake his head.

“Why didn’t you die in there?”

Su Tian, having collected his thoughts, turned his furious gaze onto Jiang Xiaobai.

“You bastard, did you set me up?”

“I am going to kill you!”

Swelling with rage and humiliation, Su Tian launched towards Jiang Xiaobai, his intent to murder Jiang Xiaobai on the spot was clear.

Just then, Qiongyu suddenly appeared between the two. A flash of a black blade, unseen in its speed, immediately thrust Su Tian back.

“Su Tian, is this behavior of yours necessary?” Qiongyu coldly said.

Grinding his teeth, Su Tian’s face was twisted with anger.

“Damn it, Qiongyu, what are you trying to do?”

“He is an outsider, and this bastard tried to trap me just now. If it wasn’t for him, how could I have lost my Cloud-flowing Boots?”
