Chapter 383: Waves Subside, Moon Shadow Dragon Soul p2
…
Meanwhile, outside the territory of Mount Min.
The tall and voluptuous woman hid among the branches of a tall tree, her cold, ghostly eyes staring at Mount Min, shrouded in clouds and mist, murmuring: “So this is the legendary Mount Min, truly magnificent. Even I can sense its extraordinary power… The Azure Lady of Mount Min truly has a unique background, just as the Valley Master said.”
“As for the secrets hidden within…”
She touched her chin thoughtfully and sighed softly: “Forget it, Mount Min has a deep connection with Tianlu and the others. It would be inappropriate for me to intrude.”
As for now—
The tall and beautiful woman glanced sideways, sensing a sinister aura approaching Mount Min from afar.
“Savage Realm… No, even stronger than the Savage Realm.”
She frowned slightly, her heart sinking:
“Not one of the Fengchen factions, but someone from the Eastern Emperor’s Sect? To possess such extraordinary cultivation within this demon and ghost world, it seems this Eastern Emperor’s Sect also has a deep foundation, to have cultivated two Nightmare Realm experts.”
Or perhaps, the Eastern Emperor’s Sect had other methods to break through the limitations of this world?
As she pondered, she turned her wrist slightly, and a carved dagger appeared in her hand.
And the next moment, a loud and arrogant laugh echoed.
“I’ve long heard of the ‘Ghost Slayer.’ Legend says that you’ve slain countless demons, ghosts, and practitioners along the way, your methods so ruthless that your name is feared by all.
But seeing you today, I didn’t expect you to be such a beautiful and alluring woman, truly captivating.”
“You, the Eastern Emperor’s Sect, interfering in the Fengchen Kingdom’s affairs, are you courting death?”
The tall and beautiful woman gripped her dagger tightly, her face cold and indifferent, her voice chilling: “One of your members was already killed by a scholar in front of everyone, and now another one has come, are you truly so eager to lose more men?”
After a moment, a handsome, middle-aged man in elegant clothes emerged from the forest, walking with large strides, an arrogant smile on his face: “That Mystic Scholar Lin Tianlu does have some skill, we underestimated him and paid the price. But it doesn’t mean that everyone in the Fengchen Kingdom is as strong as him. We can still handle insignificant pawns like you.”
“What do you gain from this?” The beautiful woman asked coldly: “I don’t recall ever offending your Eastern Emperor’s Sect.”
“Your name… has intrigued me, so naturally, I wanted to meet you.” The middle-aged man grinned. Although his smile seemed gentle, there was no warmth in his eyes, only a chilling coldness.
His gaze, like a predator’s, was fixed on her, a hint of menace in his eyes: “Although you’re trying to conceal your movements and identity, I can see that your killings weren’t random, but to protect someone… or rather, to eliminate some threats for someone, like a hidden assassin or guard.”
The beautiful woman lowered her eyes slightly, remaining silent, but the ghostly light in her eyes intensified.
“You might not have any connection with Lin Tianlu, but capturing you will only benefit me.”
The middle-aged man raised his hand with a courteous smile, cupping his hands:
“Of course, if you’re willing to cooperate with me, then I would be more than happy! Your cultivation is extraordinary, and mine is no less so. Together, we would be invincible in the Fengchen Kingdom.
And I can also guarantee that I won’t harm you in the slightest, I will treat you with respect, as an honored guest of our Eastern Emperor’s Sect, and we can work together to achieve great things in the future!”
But as he spoke these conciliatory words, a cold sneer echoed in his heart.
Having appeared here, he had already decided to make his move.
—This woman couldn’t escape from his grasp.
After capturing her, not only could he extract information about Lin Tianlu from her mind and soul, but this woman also possessed a mysterious “charm”!
Not only was she incredibly beautiful and alluring, her mature and seductive figure a rare sight, but most importantly, she emanated an incredibly rich and captivating fragrance.
He didn’t know the origin of this fragrance.
But instinctively, he was certain that the Yin energy flowing within her body was incredibly potent and nourishing, a perfect complement to his pure Yin constitution, a true treasure!
If he could absorb all her power, it would perfectly complement his Eastern Emperor’s Sect’s supreme cultivation method, allowing him to gain centuries of cultivation in a single night!
His thoughts racing, before the beautiful woman could respond, the middle-aged man, still smiling gently, secretly launched a deadly attack.
Foolish woman, she had no chance of escaping now.
A pale light suddenly erupted!
“Hmm?!”
The beautiful woman’s heart skipped a beat as she discreetly formed hand seals, but her escape technique was forcibly countered and dispelled.
Instantly, the surroundings were enveloped in a dense white mist, a strange and disorienting environment, like a thick fog, blotting out the sky.
With just a glance, the beautiful woman understood—
This was a Soul Origin Heart Realm.
And unlike the Soul Origin Heart Realm of Savage Realm demons and ghosts, this realm created by a Nightmare Realm being was far more complete and stable, truly like another world, boundless and endless.
The terrifying Yin energy filling this realm, even with her Savage Realm cultivation, made her feel as if she were on fire, a dull, burning pain spreading through her body.
If she stayed here any longer, she would be completely melted by this strange white mist!
“Have you mortals ever witnessed the power of the Nightmare Realm?”
A mocking chuckle echoed from all directions.
“Between reality and illusion, like a tangled dream, this Soul Origin Heart Realm has become a living hell, your burial ground.”
“…”
“You’re quite capable and talented. If you surrender now, I might show you some mercy.”
The middle-aged man chuckled: “My name is Huangfu Yu, remember it well, girl. We might be interacting for a long time in the future.”
“…”
But the beautiful woman remained silent, lowering her body slightly, her hair fluttering, like a leopard ready to pounce, the curves of her voluptuous body beneath her skirt incredibly seductive, a wild and untamed energy surging within her.
At this moment, her heart was calm.
She knew very well that the Nightmare Realm represented… nightmares, like a terrifying and inescapable dream, haunting one’s mind.
This person’s cultivation was far beyond the Savage Realm. Even with a thousand techniques, she could only barely hold her own. Once the Soul Origin Heart Realm was fully deployed, anyone at the Savage Realm would surely die.
This was a suppression of soul power, a fundamental difference between them as demons and practitioners, not something that could be overcome with mere techniques.
If she were to try and deploy her own Soul Origin Heart Realm to resist, her soul power would be instantly devoured and assimilated, leaving her at his mercy, without any chance of escape.
Therefore, in a battle between the Savage Realm and the Nightmare Realm, there was only one chance, one decisive strike!
The beautiful woman’s lips parted slightly, a warm breath escaping.
“Moon Shadow Secret Technique—”
Golden patterns appeared between her eyebrows, a bony exoskeleton forming around her body, strange and demonic markings spreading across her alluring figure, their ends emitting faint, beautiful streams of light, like flowing tassels or swirling mist.
“Primordial Demon Form Technique—”
In an instant, the beautiful woman’s figure transformed into a primal beast, light swirling around her, her limbs seemingly filled with explosive power, wings faintly taking shape on her back.
Crackle, crackle—!
A surge of Yin energy erupted, colliding and exploding, cold light flashing, a terrifying aura filling the swirling white mist.
“Oh?”
A surprised murmur came from behind the mist: “What strange technique is this?”
But after a moment of stunned silence, Huangfu Yu’s voice was filled with excitement, and he grinned ferociously: “Excellent! You have even more secrets than I imagined! I’ll take you back to the Eastern Emperor’s Sect for some… research!”
A giant, misty palm, more than ten zhang wide, emerged from the vortex, carrying an unstoppable demonic might as it slammed down towards the beautiful woman!
“—Laughable!”
But facing the overwhelming attack, the beautiful woman raised her face, covered in seductive markings, and smiled coldly: “Such meager cultivation, and you dare call yourself a Nightmare Realm being?”
A green light suddenly erupted!
The earth cracked, the white mist dispersed, and a streak of green light shot into the sky, cutting and melting everything in its path. The giant palm that had just landed was pierced, green flames burning, momentarily stunning Huangfu Yu, who was merged with the Soul Origin Heart Realm.
Then, he cried out in pain and surprise, looking up at the sky in shock and anger.
The green light continued its ascent, carrying a terrifying and unstoppable momentum, until with a flash of cold light, the Soul Origin Heart Realm was completely shattered!
Fragments of Yin energy scattered, the surrounding scenery returning to the forest, Huangfu Yu’s hair flying wildly as he roared furiously: “Bitch!”
Pfft!
Several daggers and short swords pierced through the dust, smoke, and mist, suddenly stabbing his body and limbs.
Huangfu Yu’s face was contorted with rage, a deep and powerful aura about to erupt:
“Such methods can’t harm me—”
His words abruptly stopped.
At that moment, a right hand, like a jade dragon claw, suddenly emerged from behind him, piercing through the back of his head, sharp and glistening claws emerging from his stunned face.
A single strike, decapitating him.
“Moon Shadow Secret Technique, Unorthodox Evil Severing—”
Instantly, the tall and beautiful woman who had appeared behind him lowered her eyes indifferently, a dragon’s shadow seemingly roaring from her left hand, entwined with ghostly figures.
“Dragon Soul Ten Shadows.”
Ten streaks of green light flashed through the forest, like fleeting phantoms, then vanished, leaving only falling leaves and silence.
