Chapter 123: Chapter 6: Ice-Feathered Spirit VS Blue
Nightmare Demon (Part 1)
Translator: 549690339
Xia Guanghan held a very high position in Nightmare Demon Palace. Although he is currently not at the very top, everyone knew that Xia Guanghan, who had caught the attention of the Nightmare Demon Palace Master, had a future in Nightmare Demon Palace that could not be estimated.
Everyone knew that Xia Guanghan was a very indifferent person. He had many young experts, but none received any real praise from him.
However, everyone noticed that when Xia Guanghan mentioned the person who was still alive, his eyes revealed a hint of approval, which surprised everyone around him. After all, Xia Guanghan’s harsh treatment of his subordinates was famous throughout Nightmare Demon Palace!
“What do you mean, if he’s still alive? A person whose life is hanging by a thread, does he really have the qualifications to compete with me?” Su Yu did not hold back his arrogance at all. In fact, he never needed to hold back his arrogance, even in the presence of this man known as the “Cold-faced Executioner”, he would never restrain himself in the slightest.
“You’ll see. If you have so much confidence in yourself, and if you can beat him, this position will be yours.” Xia Guanghan said.
“Well, I’d like to see what’s so special about the person Lord Xia has his eye on!” Su Yu said.
Zhou Luleng, who was standing by, also felt a bit surprised. His gaze followed
Xia Guanghan’s, looking at the horizon, wanting to know who exactly Xia Guanghan appreciated so much that he even had the strength to withstand the full force of Su Yu!
Ten minutes passed quickly, and under the influence of Xia Guanghan, everyone’s attention was focused on the creature gradually approaching from the sky.
Everyone was familiar with Xia Guanghan’s Winged Rank Tiger, so what everyone was paying attention to was naturally the disheveled-haired, black-clothed youth on the Winged Rank Tiger’s back.
The black-clothed youth straddled the Winged Rank Tiger. While it was still in the air, he jumped directly from a height of ten meters and landed steadily in front of Xia Guanghan.
However, when the youth landed in front of the crowd, aside from Xia
Guanghan, everyone’s expression became somewhat strange. Originally, Xia Guanghan’s words had aroused everyone’s strong interest in the coming youth, and they had even speculated about which disciple from a major background this youth belonged to…
Indeed, it couldn’t be said that their expressions were strange, and there was even some doubt and contempt, simply because the youth that had jumped down from the Winged Rank Tiger had a terrible appearance and attire. To put it bluntly, many of the beggars on the street had to be much more presentable than this youth.
“Lord Xia, are you referring to him?” The Cold Frost woman standing behind Xia Guanghan couldn’t help but react.
Xia Guanghan looked at Chu Mu in his ragged clothes, and simply nodded: “It should be.”
Over the three years’ time, Chu Mu’s appearance had changed quite a bit. His facial contours had become sharp, quite different from the young Chu Mu before.
“Lord Xia, if you don’t want to give me this position directly, just say so. There’s no need to make such a ridiculous scene. Even if you’re referring to him, I have no interest in fighting someone who reeks.” After seeing Chu Mu’s attire, Su Yu found it very difficult to put him in the same category as young experts.
It’s not surprising that Chu Mu was dressed like this. Three years of outdoor survival had numbed his concern for his appearance. In fact, even during this month when he rode the Winged Rank Tiger towards Nightmare Demon City, Chu Mu had been completely immersed in practicing Blood Pupil Frenzy and had not deliberately landed somewhere to make himself presentable. The Wing Rank Tiger was flying according to his route, resting in the mountains when tired, and continuing to fly when it had enough strength, never giving Chu Mu a chance to stop in a city.
Xia Guanghan was also unaware of this point. Chu Mu’s wild man-like appearance, with his clothes barely covering his body, was indeed very unsightly.
“Chu Mu, right?” Xia Guanghan vaguely remembered this name.
Chu Mu nodded, not paying too much attention to the strange glances from others.
“Feng Xiang, take him down to wash and clean up. The competition will take place later.” Xia Guanghan said to the cold frost woman behind him.
“Lord Xia, I don’t have time to wait for this guy to take his sweet time washing up.” Su Yu snorted.
Su Yu was the son of the Blue Nightmare Demon Palace Master, and his status was very high. His address to Xia Guanghan as “Lord Xia” already showed that this arrogant young master of Blue Nightmare Demon Palace regarded Xia Guanghan quite highly.
“If it’s about a battle, let’s start right away.” Chu Mu glanced at the well-dressed Su Yu, his eyes indifferent as if looking at a dead man.
Feeling Chu Mu’s sharp gaze, Su Yu’s brows furrowed immediately. The title of “Nightmare Demon Palace’s Number One Arrogant” was not unfounded. Su Yu had always looked down upon his peers, and he also couldn’t tolerate other people’s strange gazes.
“What are you? You don’t even know the rules, and you won’t even bow here. How dare you speak nonsense!” Su Yu glared fiercely at Chu Mu, who looked like a wild man. Su Yu was noble and never pretended to be approachable. He was even more impolite when facing someone without any status or who he had never seen before.
“I only know how to kill.” Facing Su Yu, a young master from a powerful family, Chu Mu still maintained an extremely cold demeanor. The words he spoke, coupled with that frightening gaze, made people feel somewhat shuddering!
Killing too many people tends to give one a murderous aura. Chu Mu’s body was now exuding such a strong murderous aura, especially his pitch-black eyes, which were as cold as steel when they stared at something! “Do you want to die? Do you know who I am!” Su Yu was obviously furious!
“I don’t know who you are, but if we’re going to fight, let’s do it soon. Don’t waste my time.” Chu Mu turned around and walked straight to the battlefield.
The whole person looked like a wild beast about to reveal its true nature.
Although the bloodlust was restrained, there was still an aura of bloodshed.
Watching Chu Mu walk to the battlefield, Su Yu gritted his teeth angrily and said, “Lord Xia, I have never been careful when fighting. It is possible that I may accidentally kill your subordinate…”
“As you please, if you can kill him…” Xia Guanghan spoke slowly.
Xia Guanghan didn’t know how strong Chu Mu was now, but anyone who could survive from the Prison Island definitely had the strongest survival ability. Although Su Yu was strong and had been through the baptism of slaughter, he could not have the same continuous, three-year sense of survival as Chu Mu.
Thus, it wasn’t that Xia Guanghan had confidence in Chu Mu, but rather, he had absolute confidence in the murderous aura of anyone who could survive the three thousand Prison Island.
“Chu Mu, huh? You’d better pray that Xia Guanghan will intervene in time. That way, you might be able to survive!” Su Yu said coldly.
“So it’s not a battle to the death…” Chu Mu’s interest seemed to wane significantly.
After hearing this, Su Yu immediately felt a suffocating anger in his chest that, if not vented, would explode like his lungs.
Those sitting in the higher seats also shook their heads in pity. Su Yu had been unbearably arrogant before, but this newcomer was even more conceited, talking only about killing as if he had no interest in a battle that didn’t result in death.
“Less talk, summon your Soul pet!” Su Yu suppressed his anger and said coldly.
“You go first…” Chu Mu said.
Su Yu took a deep breath, not wanting to engage in a verbal contest with an uncivilized person. He promptly recited the spell and summoned his Blue Nightmare Demon!
Blue Nightmare Demon: Otherworld – Dark Attribute – Nightmare Demon Clan
– Sub-clan – High-level Commander
Chu Mu had dealt with quite a few prisoners who owned Blue Nightmare Demons back on Prison Island and naturally understood them well.
Chu Mu’s insight was exceptional, and he could see that the Blue Nightmare Demon summoned by Su Yu was a noble among the Blue Nightmare Demons, with much greater potential and talent than those on Prison Island.
“The test limits the summoning to one soul pet, and no replacements are allowed.” just as Chu Mu was about to summon his soul pet, Xia Guanghan’s voice slowly rang out.
Chu Mu nodded and immediately recited the spell, summoning the Ice-Feathered Spirit in front of him without any hesitation.
“Ice-Feathered Spirit?”
Seeing the soul pet that Chu Mu summoned, Su Yu’s expression suddenly turned strange.
Su Yu’s Blue Nightmare Demon had reached the Fifth Rank, Third Stage. Blue Nightmare Demon, especially the Abyssal Blue Nightmare Demon, was known for having the highest combat power among the commander-level soul pets.
As for summoning a warrior-level soul pet to fight, any soul pet below Sixth Rank Fourth Stage would likely have zero chance of victory.
Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit was clearly at the Fifth Rank Ninth Stage and hadn’t even reached Level 6, which placed it one level lower…
“You dare to show off such trash soul pet, it only takes me three minutes to deal with you!” Su Yu laughed loudly.
Chu Mu didn’t care. In a one-on-one battle between soul pets, levels and stages couldn’t decide everything. His MO Ye with Fire Attribute and his Night Thunder Dream Beast with Dark Attribute might be able to defeat the Blue Nightmare Demon, but obviously, dealing with the Blue Nightmare Demon would be much easier with the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s Ice attribute.
“Fair skin as white as ice, frost naturally wraps around both hands, pure white eyes without impurities. This is an Ice-Feathered Spirit with a top-tier innate talent… But even with top-tier talent, a strong soul pet among Warrior Level creatures can’t contend against a Blue Nightmare Demon.” Zhou Luleng, with his rich experience, commented.
Just like Zhou Luleng, others were stunned when they saw Chu Mu summon the Ice-Feathered Spirit. Everyone knew that this wild person was extremely arrogant and that Xia Guanghan had high hopes for him.
However, being arrogant doesn’t mean summoning a Fifth Rank Ninth Stage Warrior Level – Ice-Feathered Spirit to fight against a Fifth Rank Third Commander Level – Blue Nightmare Demon!
Immediately after Zhou Luleng made his assessment, the battle in the arena had already started. The deep blue flame of the Blue Nightmare Demon greatly resembled its master’s temperament and was eager to use its powerful Demon Flame ability for a quick victory.
As for the Ice-Feathered Spirit, it was as calm and composed as its master.
When the Blue Nightmare Demon launched its fierce attack, the Ice-Feathered Spirit skillfully cast an Ice Wall, stopping the sweep of the Demon Flame.
“Five minutes…” Xia Guanghan watched Chu Mu controlling the Ice-Feathered Spirit and said slowly.
“Does Sir Xia mean that Chu Mu can only hold on for five minutes?” Feng Xiang asked softly.
“It’s Su Yu…” Xia Guanghan’s eyes shimmered, seemingly able to discern the outcome just by observing the start of the match.
As soon as Xia Guanghan uttered those words, everyone around him became even more speechless.
Nightmare Demon Palace’s Number One Arrogant could only last five minutes
against this wild man?
What was going on with Xia Guanghan today? It would be a miracle if the Ice-Feathered Spirit could defeat the Blue Nightmare Demon, yet he claimed it would only take five minutes? Was that even possible?
