Chapter 618: 489: Rare Treasure, Ninth Level Soul Armor
The dark force and Beast-type force were like the oppressive airfield before a catastrophic storm, enveloping this entire mountain ridge position. It could be faintly seen that beside Chu Mu, a huge, nearly invisible beast soul eerily appeared!!
This beast soul was a manifestation of Mo Ye’s ancient power. Its eyes were pitch black, brimming with the most dreadful dark energy, its body tall and robust. Under the undefined and mysterious horned mark, it was full of power, seemingly capable of shaking mountains and splitting the earth with a mere slight movement of its legs!!
“Zhan Ye, kill them all!” Chu Mu gave the order!
Zhan Ye stood calmly behind Chu Mu. When Chu Mu issued the death sentence, a disastrous storm of murderous energy immediately swept over!!
“Swoosh!!!!!!”
Zhan Ye instantly disappeared from the spot, the place enveloped by the death shadow formed by the mix of dark breath and Beast-type breath was where Zhan Ye was!!
It seemed to be only a moment, everyone only saw the death shadow flashing across the soul pets of the assassins. Immediately after, the Soul Pet sprayed fresh blood!!
The assassins’ Soul Pets were as weak as straws, easily torn into pieces by Zhan Ye’s claws. The faces of these green-clothed assassins turned paler one by one…
Pan Zheng and Ling He were also unable to see Zhan Ye’s actions. They only felt a black storm blowing, and then one corpse after another fell in the blood pool, completely losing signs of life!
However, Zhan Ye did not even plan to let these assassins go. Its claws fell in disarray, and shocking claw marks appeared on the rugged mountain ridge. In a short time, it seemed like the entire mountain ridge was about to be flattened by Zhan Ye.
The whole killing process was extremely quiet, not a single Soul Pet or assassin managed to scream out in agony, only death followed one after another.
Buckets of fresh blood flowed along the cracks, forming streams, flowing redly past the feet of Pan Zheng and Ling He.
By now, these two people were totally stunned. Even several seconds after all the assassins were killed, they dared not genuinely believe in what their eyes witnessed!!!
What frightened them even more was the creature that terrified them to the point of killing a large number of assassins within seconds was slowly walking towards them. The black-pupiled eyes signified a stare of death, and their bodies involuntarily began to shiver!!
Both of Pan Zheng’s Soul Pets were only Ninth Rank Intermediate Monarchs. There was already a difference of four ranks between a Peak Monarch and an Intermediate Monarch, plus the gap between the Tenth Rank and the Ninth Rank. This disparity resulted in the Ninth Rank Intermediate Monarchs having no other fate but to be instantly killed!!
Pan Zheng had no time to fear, seeing only two Soul-Destroying Beams passing on either side of his body. Immediately after, his two Soul Pets were hit by these two Soul-Destroying Beams, and they flew away!
The Soul-Destroying Beams seemed like rays of black light that parallelly blew Pan Zheng’s Soul Pets out of the mountain ridge…
Suddenly, the destructive light energy exploded!!
A gigantic spatial rift was blown open in the air outside the mountain ridge due to these two destructive beams, while Pan Zheng’s two Soul Pets could not even resist and were blasted into pieces of flesh and blood, their bodies turning into numerous pieces falling at the foot of the mountain…
Pan Zheng’s soul was already wounded, and the subsequent loss of his Dual Souls almost shattered his soul. He fell to the ground in agony, his face turning as pale as green, sweat dripping from his face, and his body convulsing in pain!
The abnormality happened suddenly. Ling He, who was standing next to Pan Zheng, was completely stunned. He could hardly believe that Chu Mu’s Mo Ye would possess such terrifying strength, terrifying enough to completely surpass their current level, and as horrifying as the Ten-Thousand-Legged Centipede that previously killed its Tenth Rank Intense Sun Horned Beast!!
Ling He was chilled to the bone. A mass of corpses and blood-stained eyes told him that all this was real. Even though he could hardly comprehend where the power of Chu Mu’s Mo Ye comes from, his instincts told him that he must flee from here, or else his fate would be the same as these assassins!
Ling He quickly summoned two Soul Pets, and the moment Pan Zheng’s Soul Pets were killed, Ling He commanded these two Main Pets to initiate an attack on Zhan Ye.
Almost at the same time, Ling He started to chant a spell, summoning his Winged Soul Pet, which he had previously recalled.
Ling He’s series of actions were extremely skilled. Even while being overwhelmed with shock and fear, he could still take protective measures in the shortest time.
Chu Mu was somewhat surprised that Ling He managed to seize the opportunity to escape. This Ling He was indeed the strongest of the Second Tier, obviously showing much better mental quality and survival instincts than Pan Zheng. In normal times Chu Mu would indeed find it difficult to stop Ling He, who had abandoned his two main pets.
Zhan Ye had been following Chu Mu in his slaughters for many years and naturally knew how to deal with enemies intending to escape.
“Swoosh~~~~~~~”
Zhan Ye’s speed bizarrely accelerated. The skills of Ling He’s two main pets had just started to muster, and Zhan Ye’s ink-colored figure swept past them!
Ling He was protected by his Soul Armor, and Zhan Ye didn’t underestimate him at all. The power of the ancient beast soul once again amassed on its Claw Blade!!
“Whoosh!!!!”
A dark crescent moon that was visible even in daylight swooped over the mountain ridge, ruthlessly slashing at Ling He who had already flown into the sky!
Ling He’s Winged Soul Pet suddenly halted mid-air, as if bound by some sort of power.
“Splutter~~~~~”
The bright red fresh blood sprayed from both Ling He and his Winged Soul Pet, forming a large cloud of blood mist in the sky.
Very soon, the Winged Soul Pet and Ling He, who were both slain in an instant, fell from the sky, landing into the rock crevices already filled with fresh blood!
Half-kneeling on the ground, Pan Zheng’s pupils almost burst open. The strongest of the second tier, Ling He couldn’t escape the fate of being instantly killed, and had died tragically at the hands of an unexpectedly insignificant kid!
Chu Mu glanced at Ling He’s corpse. Initially, he had planned to get Zhan Ye to kill all of Ling He’s Soul Pets, then force Ling He to reveal some secrets about the Female Sovereign. Who would have known that Zhan Ye’s killing power was so potent, slaughtering both pet and master instantly. But Chu Mu had once again glimpsed just how terrifyingly domineering the power of the Tenth Rank Peak Monarch could be!
Having killed Ling He, his remaining two Soul Pets posed no threat to Chu Mu. With just two skills, Zhan Ye completely killed both of Ling He’s main pets.
Ling He’s two main pets had been very close to becoming Tenth Rank Intermediate Monarchs. Such strength was indeed unmatched in the second tier. Unfortunately, such a well-hidden strongest person like Ling He had encountered Chu Mu whose Soul Pets were all exceedingly abnormal!
“Should I slowly torture you with Soul Demon Flames, and then you tell me everything you know about the Female Sovereign, or should you tell me what you know on your own accord, and then perhaps I might let you go? You’re already no threat to me, given the damage to your Dead Soul.” Chu Mu walked up to Pan Zheng and coldly stated.
The injury to Pan Zheng’s soul had made him powerless. Not long ago, he was still laughing maniacally, appearing as if he could finally avenge his Soul Pets. But now, he was reduced to a pitiable creature lying on the ground, begging for Chu Mu to spare his life.
“I… I only know that the Female Sovereign wants the Tenth Realm. I really don’t know anything else. That woman keeps everything closely guarded. Everyone just knows that they benefit from her, then they die for her. Even Ling He doesn’t know much… Chu Chen… Chu Chen, we don’t actually have any deep hatred. There’s no need for you to obliterate me. Spare me and I can promise you a lot of benefits…” stated Pan Zheng, trembling uncontrollably.
Chu Mu furrowed his brows. He had originally thought he could get some information from Pan Zheng. Unexpectedly, Pan Zheng was completely a punching bag and he couldn’t get anything he wanted from him.
“Whoosh!!!!!”
A claw suddenly appeared behind Pan Zheng’s neck, deeply piercing his blood vessel.
Pan Zheng had thought Chu Mu would be swayed by the benefits he was offering, but before he even had time to announce the benefits, his life force was swiftly slipping away.
Zhan Ye coldly retracted its claw, then returned to Chu Mu’s side.
Chu Mu stroked Zhan Ye’s head. A smile appeared on his face as he said, “Zhan Ye, you’ve done well, but it’s time to take a rest. You need a sound and deep sleep…”
“Roar~~~~” As Chu Mu had mentioned, Zhan Ye’s strength was actually declining, and it was indeed extremely exhausted.
Zhan Ye dislikes expressing itself. After Chu Mu performed the spell, it dropped everything heavy, returned to its Soul Pet Space in an extremely exhausted manner, lied down, and closed its eyes.
Like Chu Mu had said, Zhan Ye had done more than enough. What it needed now was rest… a peaceful sleep…
“Whimper~~~~~~”
After putting Zhan Ye away, Mo Ye came running back from not far away with something in its mouth. It dropped the things in front of Chu Mu when it reached him.
“What is this…” Chu Mu was taken aback. Upon picking up the item that Zhan Ye had discarded, Chu Mu was instantly ecstatic!
“Ninth level Soul Armor!” Holding this treasure tightly, Chu Mu’s hands couldn’t help shaking!
A Ninth level Soul Armor was a rare treasure worth nearly four billion!
This Ninth level Soul Armor was evidently peeled off from Ling He’s body. Chu Mu hadn’t expected this guy to have such a treasure on him!
(I had initially intended to publish two chapters today, however, the situation took a terrible turn. I finished writing at noon and went out by car only to tragically drive back again. I spent nearly eight hours sitting in the car and I’m very, very tired… I’ll post the remaining chapter tomorrow. It’s Saturday tomorrow, and originally there’re two chapters, but as a make-up for what’s missing today, there will be three chapters tomorrow. Ah, rare as it is for it to be a Saturday, seeming a bit peculiar and then it’s gone again… Sobbing…) (
