Chapter 139: Chapter Twenty-Two: I, Chu Mu, am not dead. I, Chu Mu, have returned!
Translator: 549690339
The brilliant blaze suddenly flickered within the forest, tearing apart the pitch-black night and illuminating the incredibly dense trees around it!
The battle had already begun, and the Chu Family trade team consisted of only 20 soul pet masters. All of these masters had summoned their own soul pets, but their only two commander-level soul pets were thoroughly suppressed under the pressure exerted by four commander-level enemy soul pets.
The battle had barely begun and already numerous soul pets had been killed. The situation was far from optimistic!
“Third Young Master, it is the notorious Yang Jie of the Yang family. We are no match for them, we should surrender!” After the Chu Family servant summoned his soul pet and stalled the ferocious Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast, he immediately said to Chu Ning.
Chu Ning clenched his teeth, his eyes almost spewing fire. To get this batch of resources to Gangluo City, Chu Ning had journeyed through the night, traveling non-stop to avoid delays. But who would have expected the Yang family to stoop so low, behaving like burglars outright!
“No, these goods are very important to us, we cannot give up!” Chu Ning decisively replied, his gaze pierced Li Nan and Yang Jie, two incredibly loathsome bastards.
“Third Young Master, please listen to me! If we lose the goods, we can get them again, but if people die, it is hard to recover!” The Chu family servant pleaded.
“If we lose the goods this time, it will be even harder for the clan to recover. The Chu family disciples will face endless humiliation. You don’t have to say more. Have the others take the goods and escape through the forest tracks. I will hold them back; whatever we can transport back is what we can save!” Chu Ning gritted his teeth.
After finishing speaking, Chu Ning once again recited a spell, summoning his most powerful soul pet- Bright Horned Beast.
Bright Horned Beast: Demon Beast World- Beast type- Horned Beast ClanBright Horned Beast Subclan- Intermediate Commander Level
The Bright Horned Beast was covered in golden armor. Unlike most beast-type soul pets that have skin, it appeared angular and sharp, looking like a golden beast sculpture!
“The little Chu family brat is angry, huh? He’s even summoned his life-saving soul pet.” Li Nan of the Yang family saw Chu Ning summon his strongest soul pet- the Bright Horned Beast, and he immediately started a teasing mockery.
“A Bright Horned Beast at the fourth level of Fifth Rank, and it seems to be of excellent breed. I didn’t expect the Chu family to generously provide such a soul pet to their family disciple given their circumstances. They seem to care a lot about this kid huh?” A skinny figure named Yang Jie let out a piercing laugh, squinting at Chu Ning.
Yang Jie hadn’t summoned all of his soul pets yet, having called forth only a
single Blood Beast that wildly ravaged the Chu family servant’s soul pets. Yang Jie’s Blood Beast had reached the eighth stage of the Sixth Rank, its combat power being extraordinary. It had torn apart the bodies of several Chu family soul pets.
“This kid, let me deal with him. In fact, I’ve said it before, these Chu family troops aren’t worth my time, Yang Jie, Sir, doesn’t need to bother himself.” Laughing, Li Nan joined in the conversation.
While talking, Li Nan recited a spell, summoning his third soul pet!
Li Nan’s third soul pet was none other than the daunting Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast. When the Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast appeared, its thick scent of blood immediately intimidated the
War General and Servant-level soul pets around it, forcing them to retreat in horror!
A Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast at the seventh stage of Fifth Rank!
The Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast didn’t fall short of Chu Ning’s Bright Horned
Beast in terms of species ranking, yet it was three stages higher. Unless Chu Ning’s Bright Horned Beast possessed extraordinary combat talent, it would be incredibly difficult to defeat the Blood Winged Three-eyed Beast commanded by Li Nan without having an attribute advantage.
The scream of agony suddenly sounded from beside. The body of Chu Ning’s family servant was suddenly wrapped with numerous purple electric arcs that electrocuted him black.
“Uncle Li!” Chu Ning’s eyes turned completely crimson at once because he realized that the Thunderbolt Elf just now was targeting him. If this servant had not made a sacrifice to resist, it would have been him who was stricken with the terrifying Thunderbolt!
Clenching his fists tightly, flames almost burst forth from Chu Ning’s eyes!!
“Don’t worry, your turn will be up soon!” Li Nan laughed, proceeding to command his Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast to charge at Chu Nings Bright Horned Beast!
The Bright Horned Beast let out a furious roar, its body emanating dazzling golden light as it confronted the Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast covered in thick blood. A battle immediately erupted in the forest pathway!
Beast cries and screams echoed non-stop in the forest’s airspace. As he saw his clansmen being butchered by these ruthless executioners, Chu Ning’s anger blazed even wilder. He hated himself for not being strong enough to protect them, and for being forced to watch as his clansmen fell one by one right in front of him!!
The Bright Horned Beast let out a cry of agony. Its large body crash-landed from the sky above the forest, toppling a large number of trees. Clearly visible cracks appeared in its golden armor.
“Golden Horn!” Seeing his own Soul Pet heavily injured, Chu Ning let out an enraged roar. However, the Bright Horned Beast indeed was grievously wounded and found it hard to stand back up from the ground.
“It’s your turn, Chu Ning, go meet your clansmen in the afterlife!” Li Nan sneered cruelly, commanding his Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast to pounce straight at Chu Ning!!
The Blood Wing Three-eyed beast abruptly spread its fleshy wings in the black forest’s airspace and caused a gust of bloody winds as it dove straight down. Its sharp claws aimed directly at Chu Ning’s skull! !!
With his spirits wounded, Chu Ning no longer had any soul power to change soul pets or cast soul skills. He clenched his teeth, shut his eyes and prepared to meet the fatal strike from the Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast.
Seeing that Chu Ning had already given up resistance, a chilling smirk emerged on Li Nan’s face. Killing the third young master of the Chu Family would indeed be considered a great achievement for the Yang Family!
“Decapitate him!” Li Nan mentally ordered his Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast.
Suddenly, an awe-inspiring bird call echoed in the forest, something wrapped with a purple electric arc and a sleek black figure abruptly shot out from the forest path. Like a lightning bolt, it leaped up into the air and tore the darkness apart, violently ramming into the dive-bombing Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast!!
Despite the size and the staggering dive-bombing power of the Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast, this creature was abruptly knocked off course by the sleek black figure and crashed into the forest, toppling a large number of trees in its wake!!
“What!!” Li Nan got the shock of his life as he watched the powerful creature that had just appeared out of the blue!
At this instant, Chu Ning also opened his eyes and looked up, immediately catching the sight of an eerie youth riding an exquisitely attractive Dream Beast flying over him. This beast was wild and overbearing, seeming as if it could tread in the air. Just after forcefully deflecting the Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast, it stepped back in front of Chu Ning!
Yang Jie, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately furrowed his brows, his gaze fixed on the Night Thunder Dream Beast that had suddenly emerged, giving off an eerie feeling.
“Damn it, who is it that dares to interfere in the affairs of the Yang family!!” Li Nan shouted in anger, his eyes closely following the Night Thunder Dream Beast spiraling down from the sky.
At first, Chu Ning had thought that one of her own elders had come to her rescue, but she was surprised to find that the magnificent Night Thunder Dream Beast in front of her was not a soul pet any elder had!
“You are…” Chu Ning looked up at the young man controlling the Night Thunder Dream Beast and was shocked to find that this soul pet master seemed to be under twenty years old!
Horizon glance at Chu Ning and immediately recognized her as the one who had always protected him, the Third Chu Ning. A surge of ecstasy welled up in his heart!
Four years had passed and he finally saw his long-separated relatives. His feelings were simply indescribable, especially seeing his third brother who had always protected him since childhood!
Chu Ning was four years older than Chu Mu. After Chu Mu lost a soul, he was often bullied by others. Chu Ning, who was full of blood, had many bloody fights with others because of Chu Mu. And Chu Mu still remembered that Chu Ning had lost a carefully cultivated soul pet because of him, which was killed by the Yang family.
Chu Mu had always remembered this incident and was extremely remorseful. Now that they were reunited, the emotions that had been suppressed for years surged out momentarily.
Chu Ning looked at the young man in confusion, not understanding why he was staring at her with such an excited expression. It was then that she suddenly noticed Li Nan’s Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast flying out of the darkness, lunging at the young man!!
“Watch out!!” Chu Ning immediately shouted a warning!!
Chu Mu turned his head, He saw the Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast, with its wings spread wide, hurtling towards him with a fierce look on its face, and the thick smell of blood filled the air!
“Charm – Evil Eye Gaze!”
Chu Mu’s black eyes suddenly shone with an unusual silver color, the next moment, a dazzling, strange silver light burst forth, like two sharp silver swords, shooting into the eyes of the Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast!
Chu Mu replicated MO Ye’s skill, even a Sixth Rank Commander-level Soul Pet would be terrified when subjected to this Evil Eye Gaze, let alone this Fifth Rank Stage 7 Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast!
The Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast’s mental strength was obviously much weaker, and when Chu Mu stared at it intrepidly, the beast’s body froze in mid-air, territied and not daring to approach Chu Mu in the slightest!
“Soul Skill – Charm!”
The Chu family’s unique soul skill, Charm!
Chu Ning was immediately struck dumb, her eyes staring in disbelief at the young man who had just used the Chu family’s unique soul skill. What startled Chu Ning even more was that the young man had managed to completely crush the fighting spirit of a Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast with just his Evil Eye Gaze!
A chilling intent to kill emanated from Chu Mu, Chu Mu’s Evil Eye Gaze was far more than just an act of intimidation, the air about him that had experienced countless battles was released in full, sending the surrounding Servant Level and War General Level soul pets scurrying in all directions!
“Night, Death Light!” Chu Mu used his mind to instruct the Night Thunder Dream Beast.
The black evil aura on the body of the Night Thunder Dream Beast turned into a terrifying whirlwind, spreading wildly throughout the surroundings!
The Night Thunder Dream Beast lifted its head high, a deep, unfathomable dark light blossomed from the depths of its throat. As the Night Thunder Dream Beast opened its mouth wide, the deadly dark light swiftly radiated out, hurtling straight across the night sky, and striking the body of the Blood Wing Three-Eyed Beast with pinpoint accuracy!!
“Ugh!!!!!!” The Blood Wing Three-Eyed Beast had already been weary from previous battles. After the deadly glare of the Evil Eye Gaze, it suffered a lethal blow, its massive body crashing down from the sky to the ground, letting out an agonizing howl of pain!
The color of Li Nan’s face turned black instantly, looking at the suddenly-appeared Night Thunder Dream Beast with a trembling rage, he forcefully ordered the Blood Wing Three- Eyed Beast to return.
“The ones bound for the underworld should be from your Yang Family.” Chu Mu jumped off the Night Thunder Dream Beast and stood in front of Chu Ning, staring coldly at Li Nan from the Yang Family, speaking with an icy cold tone!
Li Nan and Yang Jie both had a hard look on their faces, they did not expect that such a powerful figure would suddenly appear when they were just about to deal with the Chu Family’s people, and he is a youth less than twenty years old!
“Thank you for your assistance, brother. Can I ask for your name? Also, how do you happen to possess the Chu Family’s Soul Technique?” Chu Ning was even more astounded. He had never imagined that a youth less than twenty years old could perform the Soul Technique Charm to such an extent!
Chu Mu turned to look at Chu Ning. Chu Ning had not changed much in appearance from four years ago; he just seemed a little more mature. Chu Mu could even feel the reckless passion radiating from Chu Ning’s marrow.
“Third Brother, don’t you recognize me?” Upon finally seeing a family member, Chu Mu felt his emotions stirring deeply.
“You are…” Chu Ning looked puzzled at the mysterious and strange youth.
Not many in the Chu Family would call him ‘Third Brother’. Although Chu Ning didn’t remember everyone who may do so, he didn’t recall there being such a tremendously powerful youth in the Chu Family. No one in the Chu Family possessed such abilities, not the incredibly strong Night Thunder Dream Beast, a rare commander-level soul pet, or the Soul Technique Charm he just used.
“I’m your fourth brother, Chu Mu!” Chu Mu found it increasingly hard to suppress his emotions!
“Fourth brother, Chu Mu?” Chu Ning initially showed confusion, but in the next moment, his eyes widened in shock, looking at Chu Mu’s face, suddenly finding a familiar feeling in the heroic and impressive face of the youth!!
“Fourth brother, Chu Mu! Isn’t our fourth brother…” Chu Ning’s voice began to tremble! He and Chu Mu had spent a dozen years or so together, Chu Mu’s image had been etched in Chu Ning’s heart, and although the youth in front of him had changed a lot from Chu Mu as a teenager, there were still traces of Chu Mu in him.
But, but wasn’t it that Chu Mu had disappeared four years ago, and even Chu Ning assumed that Chu Mu had died…
“Third brother, I really am Chu Mu. I didn’t die, I did not die, I’m back, I truly am back!”
Xia Guanghan once asked Chu Mu why he didn’t want to give up his pitiful life.
With the loss of one spirit, barely being able to become a Soul Pet Master, thrown onto a desolate island where survival was a struggle like a wild beast, Chu Mu should have indeed given up his pitiful life.
But, Chu Mu didn’t. He endured immense pain, teetered on the brink of life and death, endured various trials, and still didn’t give up on his life, all for this day…
All to be able to stand in front of his family as a real strong man one day, and then tell them personally, I, Chu Mu, did not die, I, Chu Mu, am back!
