Chu Mu couldn’t possibly use the same strategy again. In fact, he wouldn’t be able to, because aside from the two previous hidden assassins who were at the Soul Master level, the other hidden executioners seemed to be Soul Lords.
Although the combat power of the Soul Lord’s pets was not very strong, they were very adept at taking advantage of the four soul pets against Chu Mu’s two. Chu Mu used a strategy to dismantle a group of hidden executioners, trying to kill them. However, unless Chu Mu and MO Ye unleashed the Dual Sky Flame
Ritual, they couldn’t possibly break through the defense of the four soul pets.
Chu Mu could only use his soul power for the Dual Sky Flame Ritual once, and he would absolutely not release it at any time other than the most critical moment. Therefore, after being unable to kill the Soul Lord level Hidden Assassination Servant, Chu Mu decisively chose to retreat.
When he was halfway towards that mysterious inner forest world, Chu Mu once again got a splendid opportunity which was a lone Soul Master.
The Night Thunder Dream Beast had been chasing and fighting relentlessly, causing its physical strength to noticeably weaken. Chu Mu then recalled the Night Thunder Dream Beast and chose the Demon Tree Warrior which was more suitable for fighting in the forest!
The Demon Tree Warrior was a soul pet from the Plant World whose fighting power increased by at least four stages in a dense forest without any problem.
The Demon Tree Warrior had also reached the Sixth Rank Third-stage which made it possible for him to achieve the effect of the Sixth Rank Seventh Stage when taking advantage of the forest.
As long as it didn’t encounter Fire Attribute or Dark Attribute soul pets, Wood Type soul pets would definitely restrain them. Chu Mu did not immediately have MO Ye attack but let the Demon Tree Warrior quietly extended its demon wood roots into the ground.
“Pupu!!!!!.
Suddenly, more than sixty demonic tree roots pierced out from the ground, which was full of fallen leaves, as if like excessively sharp and large bone spikes!”
The sharp roots didn’t meet any resistance as they directly pierced through the belly of the Winged Rank Tiger!!
The scope of the Demon Wood Roots was close to ten meters, making it difficult for the Winged Rank Tiger to dodge. However, as the body of the Winged Rank Tiger was about to be completely impaled, an incredibly astonishing arched light blade suddenly appeared from within the shrubs!
“Swish!!!!.
A crisp sound echoed through the forest, and at that moment of piercing, more than sixty demonic tree roots that had sprang up from the ground were abruptly cut in half!
“Creak creak———“
Not only that, the terrifying arched light blade swept across a flat surface, and all the trees within a radius of twenty meters were neatly cut, and the trees nearly a hundred meters high slowly fell from high above.
“Kill!
The cold voice of Xia Guanghan echoed!
The next moment, dozens of soul pets suddenly jumped out from the hidden tree crowns, almost simultaneously locking onto the position of the Demon Tree Warrior!!
“Swoosh———-“
Among these more than thirty soul pets, Xia Guanghan’s monarch-level demon spirit, the Earth Fiend Dream Demon, was the fastest, even more than twice as fast as the soul pets of the hidden executioners behind him!!
Earth Fiend Dream Demon: Demon Beast World – Demon Spirit Type – Dream
Demon Race – Medium Monarch Level
Dream Demons and Dream Beasts are similar and also different in ways. Dream Beasts also have certain beast attributes. The skills they use are not purely spirit skills. Apart from dreaming, they almost all have some other nature.
But Dream Demons are the purest high-species-rank Demon Spirit-type Soul Pets. It’s said that the lowest-ranked Dream Demon is a high-ranking
Commander-level. Traced back to the earlier types of soul pets, Dream Beasts should be considered the offspring of pure-blooded Dream Demons and some elegant Beast-type Soul Pets. If it’s just a comparison of speed and intelligence, at the same species rank, Dream Demons are definitely a notch better than Dream Beasts.
The Earth Fiend Dream Demon of Xia Guanghan has obviously gone through a pure Demon Spirit Attribute enhancement. Although its speed is not the top-tier, its intelligence is very strong. Once Chu Mu’s soul pet was locked by it spiritually, it wouldn’t be able to escape!
Xia Guanghan had completely locked onto the location of Chu Mu’s Demon Tree Warrior. The Earth Fiend Dream demon executed the Spirit Sword, piercing through dozens of large plants, and aimed straight at Chu Mu’s Soul
Pet.
The powerful Spirit Sword already possessed terrifying spirit damage. Even though Plant Type Soul Pets could be somewhat immune to Spirit and Soul-Based skills, the Spirit Sword from the Earth Fiend Dream Demon still pierced into the Demon Tree Warrior’s fragile mind, causing the Demon Tree Warrior to let out a painful wail!
Seeing that the Demon Tree Warrior was shaken, Chu Mu decisively recited a spell and called back the Demon Tree Warrior who had completed its tasks back into the Soul Pet Space.
Between the towering trees, Chu Mu, in his black cloak, stood still in the place.
After retracting Demon Tree Warrior, Chu Mu did not immediately flee.
Instead, his gaze pierced through the dense tree trunks and stared at the rapidly approaching Xia Guanghan!
An Earth Fiend Dream Demon at the eighth rank second stage, sensing the imposing aura of demon spirits rushing toward him, Chu Mu’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The eighth stage Monarch-level soul pet, even if MO Ye had been strengthened by the Blood Pupil Frenzy and Moon Coagulation effects, it merely reached the strength of a seventh stage Monarch-level. Xia Guanghan’s demon spirit was a terrifying eighth-stage, face to face, just this one demon spirit could easily handle all of Chu Mu’s soul pets.
Chu Mu looked through the trees and saw Xia Guanghan, and Xia Guanghan could also see Chu Mu standing among the trees. His eyes instantly emitted a
frightful chill, sharp as swords!
Xia Guanghan naturally understood the tactic of splitting up in a fight. Chu Mu was in the shadows and they were in the light, Xia Guanghan even directly set up a trap, letting the soul master’s assassination servant go forward alone, just to wait for Chu Mu to show himself.
As predicted, in order to whittle down the number of competitors, Chu Mu, who had been deep in hiding in the forest, eventually revealed himself, falling straight into the trap set up by Xia Guanghan.
“Two choices, break the soul pact with the Crown Flame Nine -Tailed Demon Fox, then die a quick death, or, like four years ago, let you experience the feeling of a soul being pierced again!” Xia Guanghan’s soul sense was condensed into sound, echoing in Chu Mu’s spiritual world.
Four years ago, Chu Mu struggled to upgrade his strength to the Soul Warrior level, where he could sign a soul pact with a soul pet and summon it. But Xia Guanghan, who had held Chu Mu captive, forced Chu Mu to sign a soul pact with a Monarch -level White Nightmare Demon.
Soul pacts are agreed and signed voluntarily, if the master doesn’t recite the spell, outsiders cannot force them to conclude the pact. The only way is to continuously subject a person to the cruelest torture, making their will to surrender, so they voluntarily sign the soul pact.
At that time, when Chu Mu was unwilling to sign the soul pact with the White Nightmare Demon, Xia Guanghan kept stabbing Chu Mu’s soul in a very cruel manner. This unbearable, the worse-than-death feeling, even now, Chu Mu can still feel it.
Four years ago, Chu Mu had sworn that he would one day let Xia Guanghan experience the feeling of a soul being pierced!
“I have a third choice, and you have only one result! Within five years, I will kill you with my own hands!” Chu Mu’s voice, transmitted through a soul sense, resounded with a cold chill in Xia Guanghan’s ears.
Upon hearing this, a sneer appeared on Xia Guanghan’s face. As they spoke, the distance had shrunk to a hundred meters. For Xia Guanghan’s Earth Fiend Dream Demon in the eighth stage, it only took a few dashes!
Watching Xia Guanghan get closer, Chu Mu indifferently turned around, his gaze focused on the monstrous dust storm coming from the depths of the forest.
Chu Mu made a move, promptly jumping on a tree. After continuous leaps, he swiftly landed on the trunk of a tall tree…
A rumbling noise arose in the forest, coming from the path where Xia Guanghan was in pursuit.
One step ahead, Xia Guanghan led a group of more than thirty assassination servants’ soul pets, dashing through the jungle. Heading straight toward them was the aggressively charging Crown Flame Nine-Tailed Fox. Behind it, He Ran was followed by a large group of Demon Spirit race!
The number of this Demon Spirit group was much larger than the soul pets of the assassins led by Xia Guanghan. Even though each of them was agilely shuttling through the woods, as they got closer, one could clearly feel the trembling caused by the chase of this group of Demon Spirits!
“Flame Step!”
“Woo woo woo
Running wildly in the forest, MO Ye gave a roar filled with intimidating power.
Its beautiful nine tails danced wildly, showing no fear at all even while facing Xia Guanghan’s Eighth Stage Earth Fiend Dream Demon!
However, MO Ye did not intend to confront Xia Guanghan’s soul pet directly.
When MO Ye was just forty meters away from Xia Guanghan, it used the Flame Step skill to majestically evade Xia Guanghan’s Earth Fiend Dream Demon’s psychic attack, tracing an exquisite arc in the dense forest and ran out from the side.
Seeing the awe-inspiring Nine-tailed Flame Fox, a look of surprise was on Xia Guanghan’s face. However, when he discovered that there was a whole group of demon spirits chasing behind the Nine-tailed Flame Fox, his face immediately changed!
“Enjoy this Demon Spirit feast.” Chu Mu gave one glance at Xia Guanghan, who was rapidly being swallowed by the huge group of Demon Spirits. An obscure smile surfaced on Chu Mu’s face. He jumped down from the high place, MO Ye who had shaken off the group of demon spirits quickly appeared under Chu Mu, carrying him further into the depths of the forest!
The other three soul pets were summoned in the shortest time possible. Watching his and the assassination servants’ soul pets being immediately surrounded by the Demon Spirit group, Xia Guanghan’s face darkened to the extreme. His gaze was filled with the fury of shame along with viciousness, staring at the direction where Chu Mu was escaping!
This time, Xia Guanghan really miscalculated, and this misjudgment ignited the flames of Xia Guanghan’s inner wrath. It had been long since anyone had truly aggravated this cold-faced Executioner of Nightmare Demon Palace!
