Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
s.h.i.+ Mu’s expression changed. He had not yet fully recovered from his injury, but he had to open his eyes and stand up.
Liu An was still in the air, the green light on his face getting brighter and brighter. A pair of black wings fluttered behind him. It was unclear what technique he used but his broken left arm had already grown back completely. He held a long black spear in both hands as it emitted black smoke.
Not far from him, a large pit formed in the ground, filling the air around it with gas and dust.
As the silver light flashed, a figure flew out of the pit and landed nearby. It was none other than Yan Luo.
There were cracks and scratches on her silver armor. The back of her wing was also injured and drooped down.
“Yan Luo, are you alright?” s.h.i.+ Mu’s body s.h.i.+fted and flew toward Yan Luo as he connected with her through telepathy.
Yan Luo looked at s.h.i.+ Mu and the dark purple soul fire in her eyes fluctuated intensely. She then turned around to look at Liu An who was still in midair with a cold and indifferent gaze.
“So that’s how it is. I remember it now! It was precisely this skeleton. I knew it was special that night but I never thought it would reach this stage after only a few years. It was quite a surprise. I’m even more interested now!” Liu Yan looked at Yan Luo and nodded.
s.h.i.+ Mu stood in front of Yan Luo but had his sights on Liu An.
“Brother s.h.i.+, I can’t believe you have prepared such a surprise for me. I can predict the infinite potential of your pet. I will be its owner after you die, but I’m afraid I’ll turn it into just another killer.” Liu An laughed heartily as the black wings behind his back flapped.
“Not on my watch!”
s.h.i.+ Mu gnashed his teeth and his body s.h.i.+ned with a red light. The light flashed and a giant sword appeared, flying in Liu An’s direction.
Liu An sneered as the black spear in his hand enlarged, the tip of the weapon emitting a terrible aura of devastation.
Two black spears emerged like a poisonous dragon. One spear was placed on the red sword and the other stabbed the Crimson Ape in the chest.
Boom!
The red giant sword burst open and burst into flames!
Another black spear pierced the Crimson Ape’s chest. A ray of black lightning flashed like a snake to its sides. In the blink of an eye, the ape’s body had been covered.
The ape groaned in agony as its body ripped open and burst into flames and black lightning.
Liu An’s hand was filled with long black hair. With a gust of wind, it swept away the flames.
A red figure flew out of the flames in the sky and lightning came straight toward Liu An. It was none other than s.h.i.+ Mu, whose black iron knife was now a crystal knife several feet long and emanated black light.
Liu Yan thought about the power s.h.i.+ Mu held. He had learned not to underestimate s.h.i.+ Mu’s black iron knife.
The black spear moved a little as if it was in a defense mode.
At that moment, the silver light flashed behind Liu An’s back and the figure within the smoke began to scream loudly.
The surrounding air suddenly burst and an invisible wave attacked Liu An.
Liu Yan’s body was stiff. He had his hands on his head, and his pained expression was visible even from a distance.
s.h.i.+ Mu’s eyes were bright and his Heavenly Meteoric Black Iron Knife shaped s.h.i.+fted, turning into a black horse heading toward Liu An.
Although Liu An was in grave pain, he was still aware of his surroundings and the crisis he was in. He let out a loud roar and the black light around his body exploded. It covered his body entirely, forming a black spherical s.h.i.+eld to protect him from any coming attacks.
A rune appeared on the s.h.i.+eld, exactly the same as the one on Liu An’s black light
s.h.i.+eld.
Ka-cha!
The spherical s.h.i.+eld had just been formed in time to block the black knife.
Half of the blade broke into the s.h.i.+eld but it didn’t go any further in.
s.h.i.+ Mu’s face was red as the Real Qi of his body began to fill into the Heavenly Meteoric Black Iron Knife. However, the power of the knife was at its maximum level. It could not be increased any more.
A palm pressed against s.h.i.+ Mu’s shoulder.
“Don’t move!”
Yan Luo’s voice rang in s.h.i.+ Mu’s heart and in an instant, an inexplicable breath began to penetrate s.h.i.+ Mu’s body from his palm. The current poured into s.h.i.+ Mu’s and exploded.
s.h.i.+ Mu’s eyes sparked and his heart became brighter. The feeling was almost euphoric.
He looked up in disbelief.
Kaching! A loud noise could be heard loudly that it shook the whole room.
The Heavenly Meteoric Black Iron Knife extended into a seven or eight feet-long black crystal knife.
A cold knife began to spread out.
Ka-cha!
The black spherical s.h.i.+eld guarding Liu An cracked, making Liu An visible through the gap.
Liu An apparently did not expect his defense could be broken. His face was filled with a mix of horror and shock.
s.h.i.+ Mu’s eyes were indifferent and his wrist constantly jerked. The black knife flashed and the next thing he knew, it was on Liu An’s neck.
Blood dripped from his wound!
Liu An’s head was smashed and flew away. The long b.l.o.o.d.y hair fluttered in the air almost like a fireball falling on the ground.
The black light on the headless body dissipated and fell heavily to the ground.
“It’s been finally killed!”
s.h.i.+ Mu exhaled a long breath as the body fell, pale and not moving, appearing dead.
He used up so much Real Qi to control the power of the Heavenly Meteoric Black Iron Knife that it drained him completely. All that was left in him was the energy to gasp for air and catch his breath from exhaustion.
After a while, he gasped a little, waving his hand and smashed the Heavenly Meteoric Black Iron Knife in front of him with eyes full of ecstasy.
Yan Luo immediately flew to s.h.i.+ Mu’s side.
s.h.i.+ Mu turned around and looked at Yan Luo, “Yan Luo, thank you for your guidance.”
Yan Luo locked eyes with s.h.i.+ Mu and shook her head slightly. She could not bear to open her mouth.
“Oh, that’s right! You’ve been hurt so please take the beast spirit and use it,” s.h.i.+ Mu addressed as he looked at the bruises on Yan Luo’s body, hurriedly handing her the pouch containing the beast spirits tied around his waist.
Yan Luo’s eyes flickered before she grabbed the beast spirit and absorbed it without hesitation.
More than a dozen b.a.l.l.s of light flew out of the pouch containing the beast spirit, and several of them shone particularly bright. Those were the earth grand monster’s soul that s.h.i.+ Mu had killed during his expedition.
Upon absorbing several of these spirit b.a.l.l.s into her mouth, her body began to glow in a ray of light as the wounds started to recover. Her battered wings too healed.
Seeing Yan Luo better, s.h.i.+ Mu let out a sigh of relief and turned around to look at Liu An’s lifeless body. Hr got up and walked over to it.
Laying next to Liu An’s body was a piece of black brick. It still emitted black light, though it was faint. It was none other than the Fallen Angel Desk.
Without Liu An’s blessing, the black light emitted from the surface of this treasure was getting more faint, almost on the verge of fading completely.
s.h.i.+ Mu’s eyes were filled with joy as the object was a treasure of the Dark Moon Holy Cult. He was tempted to pick it up.
Not far from Liu An’s head, a round of crescent marks flashed and a gray light flew from it. It disappeared into the Fallen Angel Desk.
The Fallen Angel Desk suddenly emerged again with a dazzling gray light that quickly lit up the surroundings.
s.h.i.+ Mu was suddenly shocked out of Liu An’s body and was sent flying by an unseen attack.
He was attacked with such force that it felt like he was slammed on to the peak of a mountain. He could barely get back to his feet as he began to spit blood.
He was stunned over what had just happened and so was Yan Luo who had also witnessed the commotion.
Just when they thought things had quietened down, something more shocking happened!
The Fallen Angel Desk began to explode with gray light, wrapping it around the headless corpse of Liu An. Under the gray light, Liu An’s body began to stand up and walked in a zombie-like manner.
Puff puff! A sharp sound began to ring!
A b.l.o.o.d.y strand of hair wrapped around Liu An. The hair even reached for Liu An’s head that was laying not far away from the body.
Sho…! Liu An’s head flew back to its headless body, reconnecting with it.
With a series of movements that were fast as lightning, the head had already reattached to Liu An’s body. Both s.h.i.+ Mu and Yan Luo barely had the time to even digest what was going on.
The Fallen Angel Desk flew to the top of Liu An’s head and began to swing quickly as a ray of gray light emerged from his body.
The silver-gray gas looked like a type of liquid though it had a metallic smell. It not only had a heavy pressure to it but also a stench of deathly miasma.
“The Ten Thousand Corpse Qi!” Yan Luo yelled in disbelief.
“What is that?!” s.h.i.+ Mu said in a panic as he had never seen such a situation.
Yan Luo did not answer s.h.i.+ Mu’s question. Instead, her body emitted a bright silver phantom-like light and rushed toward Liu An at full force.
Though the figure had yet to completely form, s.h.i.+ Mu instantly waved his Heavenly Meteoric Black Knife with full force.
With a cry, a black bar shadow of more than ten feet instantly emerged and aimed its attack on Liu An.
The Fallen Angel Desk seemed to possess the ability to sense danger, immediately rotated at a supernatural speed as the surface began to enlarge. A large black light flew out of it and collided with the shadowy attack launched by s.h.i.+ Mu with his Heavenly Meteoric Black Knife.
Bang!
The shadows of the black bar shadow black light both dissipated and Yan Luo too was also shaken by an invisible force.
The silver-gray gas flashed at Liu An and his entire body began to lit up.
Liu An began to stretch his head side to side like an awakened zombie. As he slowly raised his head, it appeared that the wound on his neck had disappeared! The already bleak eyes had regained his brilliance. A b.l.o.o.d.y volley flew which made him appear a little crazed.
s.h.i.+ Mu was shocked as he not only had never heard of such an incident but he was now witnessing it with his own eyes.
Liu An’s body that was originally a half-corpse had completely turned into a corpse. Shu Mu
The body had now been covered with grayish scales like a snake and his face had turned a greenish-black color. He was now covered in black qi that surrounded his body.
Aside from the long hair, s.h.i.+ Mu could barely recognize him as the handsome Liu An he once knew.
A horrible aura began to emerge from Liu An as his body transformed into a real zombie corpse. With such a transformation, his strength would increase tenfold.
s.h.i.+ Mu’s face was discolored, his palms cold and sweaty.
“s.h.i.+ Mu, I underestimated you, but never again will I make the same mistake!” Liu Yan roared as fixed his sights on s.h.i.+ Mu.
Hu…!
Suddenly two burning flames charged toward s.h.i.+ Mu.
