Chapter 129: Chapter 12: Fatal Weapon, Cold Poison Invasion
Translator: 549690339
During his time on Prison Island, if he was unlucky, Chu Mu could be in a constant fighting state through an entire day. Under such circumstances, he had to learn how to conserve his fighting power when facing multiple opponents. Thus, he was used to consecutive battles.
Honestly speaking, it wasn’t that Chu Mu was underestimating those Nightmare Demons Palace’s experts. Having reviewed their background information, he found that no matter their soul pets’ levels or stages, they were far behind the opponents Chu Mu had encountered on Prison Island.
As their soul pets’ levels and stages were both worse than those of the opponents Chu Mu frequently fought against, and considering these young people were aggressive and impetuous with fighting experience nowhere near that of the prisoners in their thirties or forties, Chu Mu wouldn’t have minded challenging ten of them at once if he didn’t have to leave for Gangluo City the day after tomorrow.
Of course, Chu Mu knew that these aggressive, restless challengers were only first-rate young experts of Nightmare Demon Palace. The true experts wouldn’t challenge just because one had the Prison Island King’s title. Even though they had the same level 7 title as Chu Mu, their fame was much greater. They would only challenge Chu Mu if they thought his fame could threaten their position or if defeating him could elevate their status.
“Sir Xia, Chu Mu doesn’t seem like a humble person either, stirring up such a commotion right after joining the Nightmare Demon Palace, and provoking the public with such a frivolous challenge. If he loses, you will be affected too,” Feng Xiang said.
“Having a beehive close by, with bees buzzing around your ears and occasionally attacking you painlessly, is a waste of time and pointless to swat them away with your hand. It’s better to just crush the beehive in one hand,” Xia Guanghan replied, clearly appreciating Chu Mu’s approach.
Feng Xiang was surprised and asked, “Then, won’t you go there?” “The princess returned early. If she’s interested…” Xia Guanghan replied.
“Then Feng Xiang will head to the battlefield first.” Feng Xianz nodded. and
after saying that, she left.
“What, challenge five people at once? This kid is too arrogant!” The Lord of Blue Nightmare Demon Palace was astonished!
“Yes, father, I told you he’s an arrogant and ignorant savage!” Su Yu immediately began to exaggerate, hoping that his father would teach Chu Mu a lesson as soon as possible!
“Xia Guanghan, Xia Guanghan, you really have no respect for others!” The Blue Nightmare Demon Palace Master said with a profound meaning.
Chu Mu was Xia Guanghan’s subordinate, and his arrogance was as if he had borrowed Xia Guanghan’s prestige. The Blue Nightmare Demon Palace Master naturally thought that it was Xia Guanghan’s intention to make such a fuss in the Nightmare Demon Palace to consolidate his position.
“Since he dares to be so arrogant, let him die a miserable death!” A touch of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the Blue Nightmare Demon Palace, who had always been on bad terms with Xia Guanghan. If Chu Mu succeeded in this challenge, his fame would surely reach the ears of people at higher positions, drawing their attention. By doing this, he made Xia Guanghan’s name resound once again in their ears, which was a form of indirect promotion.
In recent years, Xia Guanghan’s fame had grown bigger and bigger, and no one could stop his rise to the top of the Nightmare Demon Palace. Many people were envious, and the Lord of Blue Nightmare Demon Palace was one of them.
“Tian Ji, come with me to the battlefield. I want to see what this kid is capable of!” The Blue Nightmare Demon Palace Master stood up from his seat and strode towards the doorway.
When he got up, a grey-clothed youth exuding a hint of coldness appeared out of the shadow of a pillar, silently following the Lord of the Blue Nightmare Demon Palace.
It was still the ravine-strewn Gobi battlefield. However, this time, due to the sensational effect of the event, there were more observers seated high up.
Those in slightly lower positions than Xia Guanghan; Zhou Luleng, Feng Xiang summoned by Xia Guanghan, the Lord of Blue Nightmare Demon Palace, the Green Nightmare Demon Palace Master…
What surprised everyone the most was the appearance of the super young powerhouse with an eighth-level title, Lu Shanli, who no one had ever dared to challenge before.
“Who is that young man in white clothes who looks like a referee?” Chu Mu sat in his seat, his eyes focused on the main seat where Lu Shanli was sitting.
Chu Mu noticed this young man not because he had a unique strong temperament, but because he still sat in the main seat with special respect even when the Blue Nightmare Demon Palace Master and the Green Nightmare Demon Palace Master were present.
“Young Master Chu, that’s Lu Shanli, the famous Nightmare Demon Palace adjudicator with an eighth-level title, higher than the Nightmare Demon Youth.” Qinghe explained in a low voice, her eyes clearly showing admiration as she gazed at Lu Shanli.
“Oh, what’s so special about him?” Chu Mu was not very familiar with the Nightmare Demon Palace system, and secretly wondered about the young man’s identity that made both the Blue Nightmare Demon Palace Master and the Green Nightmare Demon Palace Master respect him so much.
“Of course he’s special. The highest title for the young generation is the seventh-level Nightmare Demon Youth, while he has the eighth-level title of Nightmare Demon Youth Adjudicator, which means he presides over all Nightmare Demon Youths and has a transcendent status. Officer Lu has always been elusive, and the fact that he appeared on this occasion today is really unexpected.” Qinghe said.
“So he must be the top expert in the Nightmare Demon Palace.” Chu Mu silently guessed.
Actually, Chu Mu preferred to challenge a strong person of this level since it would be based on the challenge’s difficulty. However, Chu Mu also knew that he had just entered Nightmare Demon Palace, and even with his resounding reputation as the King of Prison Island, he was not qualified to challenge this Nightmare Demon Youth Adjudicator.
“Tian Ji is here!” Following Lu Shanli’s appearance, the young experts started discussing again.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Tian Ji defeating an opponent’s three soul pets with just one.”
The attentive Chu Mu quickly noticed the atmosphere of respect for the strong here.
It was obvious that Lu Shanli, the eighth-level titled super young powerhouse, had already surpassed the boundaries of the young generation, and all the young experts looked up to him just like they respected the real high -ranking authority figures.
And Tian Ji, who was brought by the Blue Nightmare Demon Palace Master, had an extraordinary power among the young generation. Although he had not reached Lu Shanli’s realm, he should have few defeats in this field.
“Young Master Chu, Tian Ji seems to be the most powerful contender among the young generation of Blue Nightmare Demon Palace. He is also a rapidly rising expert, often defeating the opponent’s three soul pets by summoning only one soul pet. He is a close confidant of the Blue Nightmare Demon Palace Master, and this time he was brought here because you offended Su Yu a few days ago, so it might…” Ting Yu, who was more meticulous, immediately reminded Chu Mu.
“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded nonchalantly.
“Let’s begin,” said Lu Shanli, the Nightmare Demon Youth Adjudicator. Naturally, he would act as the authoritative judge if he was present.
Chu Mu didn’t waste words either, directly going onto the battlefield.
“You guys go first. If you let me go first, you’ll have made this trip in vain.” Ruan Shan Demon Youth was still sitting in his seat, his eyes sweeping over the other four.
The other four challengers immediately showed disdain, and the strongest youth of Green Nightmare Demon Palace, Guo Xian, stood up angrily. He glanced at the self-righteous Ruan Shan Demon Youth and mocked, “The one who should have come in vain is you. It would be better to wait until I deal with this kid, and then we’ll have another round!”
“I can’t ask for anything better, I just love to fight.” Ruan Shan Demon Youth laughed.
Guo Xian sneered and, after giving a bow to Lu Shanli, jumped into the battlefield and entered the other side of the huge chasm, facing Chu Mu across the deep gorge.
“I didn’t want to come to this stupid challenge originally, which puts me in an unimportant supporting role. But it doesn’t matter because I’ll be the first one to fight against you, and after defeating you, I’ll still be the main character!” Guo Xian said.
“Those who talk the most during fights die the worst,” Chu Mu replied indifferently.
“Absurd!” The strongest youth of Green Nightmare Demon Palace, Guo Xian, sneered, and immediately recited a spell!
As Guo Xian recited the spell, green demon flames immediately burned on his body. These demon flames seemed to be controlled by Guo Xian, slowly gathering at his feet and forming a green burning demonic flame pattern!
“Whoosh-” The demon flames suddenly soared, and amidst the countless dancing fire snakes, the terrifying evil soul pet Green Nightmare Demon appeared at the center of the pattern, its eyes like torches, emitting a green fierce light!
After summoning the Green Nightmare Demon, Guo Xian immediately ordered it to make the first move, launching a fire attack on Chu Mu himself with the Fire Burn technique.
“A Fifth Rank, Sixth Stage Green Nightmare Demon.” Chu Mu dodged the seemingly probing attack easily and began chanting a spell himself.
The summoning pattern for an ice attribute soul pet was like an ice-colored halo, with various brilliant spirit patterns flashing within it.
As usual, when the dazzling Ice-Feathered Spirit appeared in everyone’s eyes, Chu Mu had already issued an order to it!
“Ice Sword.”
The summoning white light was still flashing, but the Ice-Feathered Spirit had completed its spell, suddenly forming fifteen huge ice swords that were controlled by its powerful ice element!
Fifteen six-meter-long ice swords emerged, immediately attracting everyone’s attention!!
The Level 5 ice attribute skill – Ice Sword, in its earliest stage, could only form one ice sword, which was no different from an ordinary long sword in size.
However, the Ice-Feathered Spirit had mastered the Ice Sword skill to the point of forming fifteen swords, even reaching an astonishing six meters in length. This terrifying ice attribute control ability was truly shocking!
The fifteen huge ice swords hovered above the Ice-Feathered Spirit, still forming a circular formation diagram with their extremely sharp tips hanging down, giving the feeling of being suspended in one’s heart.
Suddenly, one of the hovering ice swords moved and, under the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s spell control, it plunged down at a high speed, accurately stabbing the Green Nightmare Demon’s position!
“Fine Control!!!”
Upon seeing the single ice sword attack, the people sitting high above once again showed astonishment.
Just like skill stacking, fine control was also a control skill that soul pets gained after they became proficient in their skills.
Generally, after forming fifteen ice swords, ice-feathered spirits with poor control could only smash all of them towards the enemy at once. However, ice-feathered spirits with strong control could subtly control each ice sword!
Suddenly, an even more astonishing scene occurred. The other fourteen ice swords’ tips were all locked onto the Green Nightmare Demon, crashing down in rapid succession, one after the other, piercing towards the Green Nightmare Demon!
When the first few ice swords fell, the Green Nightmare Demon could still use its demon flame to melt them. However, the sequence of the fifteen ice swords’ attacks turned the concentrated power from surface to point into something truly terrifying! ! !
Seeing the fifteen ice swords transform into a single line and bombard him, Guo Xian’s face changed drastically!
Guo Xian immediately recited a spell to summon his other soul pets to defend, but the fifteen ice swords’ frequency was unbearably horrifying, forcing the Green Nightmare Demon from the ground to the bottom in a flash. A huge pit was created on the Gobi!!!
“St…stop!” Guo Xian realized that after the last ice sword pierced through, his Fifth Rank, 4th Stage Green Nightmare Demon would die completely, and he cried out urgently!
Chu Mu raised his head and looked at Guo Xian, whose face had turned pale, but remained indifferent, allowing the Ice-feathered Spirit to pierce the last ice sword into the Green Nightmare Demon’s body.
“Boom!!
The ice sword, as cold and ruthless as Chu Mu, pierced into the Green Nightmare Demon’s body. The Green Nightmare Demon, which had been smashed into the ground, didn’t even have time to scream before its flames on its body were completely extinguished!!
As the cold poison invaded, the terrible cold poison attached to the ice sword went directly into Guo Xian’s spiritual world, freezing his soul!!
Soon, Guo Xian’s body turned dark blue, and cold air even emanated from his orifices!!!
Guo Xian’s body shook violently and slowly tilted backward!
When he fell onto the hard gravel, Guo Xian’s body shattered to pieces!!!
Countless ice shards scattered throughout the gravel, each piece being part of Guo Xian’s body. Guo Xian’s body was torn apart and messily scattered on the ground, a frightening and horrifying sight!!
Murmurs of surprise and shock erupted among the high seats. Everyone’s faces were filled with even more dread!
“This…this…” The Green Nightmare Demon Master suddenly stood up from his seat, his face full of bulging veins as he stared down at the fragmented corpse. He was so choked up that he couldn’t even speak! !
Everything happened too suddenly. Many of the young generation did not even realize what had happened when Guo Xian was turned into horrifying ice shards!!
