Chapter 369: Just as She Desired

When Ming Xiu heard Lou Mu Yan’s confident telepathic words, he immediately retracted his steps and looked at the man in purple with cold eyes.

He didn’t immediately deal with this person before because, one, he didn’t want to reveal too much strength, and two, he wanted Lou Mu Yan to obtain the Six Major Sects’ pupil’s favour of rescuing them.

Now that the man controlled the Dark Soul Beast to attack his woman, he was already a dead person in his eyes.

With the Array broken, he didn’t need to be polite anymore.

A giant golden sword fell in his hands. Unlike the Natal Magic Tool that Lou Mu Yan used the Heavenly Frost Golden Essence1 to refine, Ming Xiu’s Natal Magic Tool was obviously of a higher level.

The golden sword swept in an arc and a dazzling golden light like sunlight feel straight down, instantly enveloping the man in purple.

At the same time, the sharp claws of the Dark Soul Beast also fell atop of Lou Mu Yan’s head.

She didn’t dodge. Her lips curled up in a vague arc and a faint orange light covered her hands.

Since she obtained the Orange Blaze, she no longer hid the fact that she had a Spirit Flame, which was perfect to cover up the aura of the Purple-Gold Spirit Flame.

[BOOM!!]

Just when everyone thought Lou Mu Yan would be torn to pieces by the claws of the Dark Soul Beast, they saw that she not only didn’t retreat, but instead, advanced. A fist with soft orange light slammed out and faced the black scaled claws of the opponent directly.

There was a kind of horror in the eerie green eyes of the Dark Soul Beast. It didn’t expect that the weak woman opposite could not only withstand its sharp claws, but also beat a destructive flame into its body through that punch.

[AO AO!] The piercing pain made it wail.

A cluster of orange flames flew up along its claws endlessly and stopped when it landed at its Demonic Soul.

Seeing this, Lou Mu Yan leapt up immediately, punching the weak point of the Dark Soul Beast’s body one after another.

Her figure constantly flashed in the air, and each time they appeared, the Dark Soul Beast would inevitably receive attacks of fist wind.

[AO AO!!] Where was the domineering aura that the Dark Soul Beast had when it first appeared before.

It kept dodging. Each time it was bombarded, it would make a miserable cry, obviously beaten horribly by Lou Mu Yan.

“Th-That woman’s actually a Body Cultivator.” A pupil of the Vast Mountain Sect couldn’t resist swallowing while watching the one-sided abusive beating in mid-air.

“Heavens! Junior Sister Lou’s actually so violent.” Peng Yang felt a chill on his back and decided inwardly that he would never provoke Lou Mu Yan.

Gu Xiu went to the competition space, so he knew how strong Lou Mu Yan’s body was, but he didn’t expect that, towards the Dark Soul Beast with an immortal body and a body whose toughness was comparable to a Tier 8 Demonic Beast, she would not be outmatched. It truly blinded one’s eyes.

Jin Se’s eyes lit up, filled with admiration and excitement, “Mighty Junior Sister.”

The pupils of the other Sects dared not underestimate her ever since Lou Mu Yan broke the Grade 5 Soul Locking Array in just an incense stick of time. Now, seeing such a violent fighting style of hers, at the same time as it was eye-opening, a deep fear arose.

All the leading pupils here, like Gu Xiu, found out the identity of the other party’s pupils when they were at the inn. They knew that Lou Mu Yan was the number one in the Tian’ling Continental Tournament for Hegemony, but they really didn’t expect her combat power to be so strong.

[AO!!] The Dark Soul Beast was in stabbing pain all over. It now found that this woman’s fist was too powerful.

Not only did it carry a kind of sword aura fist wind, but it also used Spirit Flames to protect the fist. If the Spirit Flame in its body wasn’t forced out soon, it would probably be the end for it today.

Suddenly, it stared with its eerie green eyes and looked at the purple-clothed man covered in golden light. The connection between Owner and Servant was completely cut off.

It was overjoyed. It would no longer have to be controlled by that person in the future.

With another punch, the Dark Soul Beast was blasted more than ten metres away. Its eyes turned in thought, then borrowing the force of that retrogression, it turned and ran away into the distance.

“Want to run? Not that easy.” Lou Mu Yan huffed coldly and turned into a red light to chase after it.

Inwardly, she couldn’t help but praise this Dark Soul Beast—it truly knew what she wanted.

She was just thinking about how to avoid the eyes of the pupils of the Six Major Sects and let Jun Luo Chen absorb and refine the Dark Soul Beast, but then it fled to the distance on his own, which was just as she desired.

At this time, Lou Mu Yan’s Flash Steps was at its completion, so she soon caught up with the Dark Soul Beast in a deserted dense forest.

With a thought, clusters of orange flames formed a flaming ribbon and flew out, instantly tying the Dark Soul Beast upright.

“Jun Luo Chen, you’re still not going to come out for the supplement?” Lou Mu Yan shouted.

Before she could even finish, a black smoke emerged from her pendant around her neck, instantly enveloping the Dark Soul Beast.

Not long after, Lou Mu Yan heard a desperate, shrill scream from the Dark Soul Beast, then its body continued to shrink. When it was only the size of a palm, it was swept up by the black smoke and brought into her pendant.

“You’ve finished devouring it just like this?” Lou Mu Yan asked Jun Luo Chen.

Jun Luo Chen in the pendant was still hidden in a black mist, his figure looming, “Not so fast, but it’s been sealed by me. I’ll enjoy it slowly.”

“Whatever you like!” Since Lou Mu Yan had reached a cooperation with him, she naturally didn’t care when he refined that Dark Soul Beast.

After Jun Luo Chen brought the Dark Soul Beast into the pendant, she disappeared in the dense forest in a flash.

When she returned to the top of the mountain, the man in purple had been killed by the golden light sword aura of Ming Xiu as expected.

“Junior Sister Lou, are you alright?” Gu Xiu sighed with relief when he saw Lou Mu Yan return safely.

If something happened to this little ancestor here, he would definitely be stripped alive of a layer of skin by Elder Ao and the Sect Leader.

“I’m fine.” Lou Mu Yan smiled.

“Where’s the Dark Soul Beast?” Han Yi asked curiously, looking behind her.

Because the Dark Soul Beast was a living creature produced by refining the Souls of humans or Demonic Beasts, so no matter which level it advanced to, it wouldn’t be able to transform into a human.

Moreover, the body of the Yin Soul Beast was actually made of endless Dark Evil Force, which created the indestructible body—that is, it couldn’t be killed by ordinary sword auras or Magic Tools.

Lou Mu Yan came back, but the Dark Soul Beast disappeared. They wondered if she had killed it or not.

“Ran away.” Lou Mu Yan shrugged and said helplessly.

She chased out aggressively just now and returned after a long time. Now that she said the Dark Soul Beast ran away, no one would believe such an excuse!

“You didn’t take the Dark Soul Beast all for yourself did you? The excuse that it ran away is too fake.” The leading pupil of the Vast Mountain Sect thought and said.

Even though the Dark Soul Beast was conceived by a Devil Cultivator, but it was also of great help to Sword Cultivators who cultivated a righteous path.

If one used its blood essence to refine one’s body, it would be half the effort with double the results.

Lou Mu Yan was prepared to find trouble for this pupil of the Vast Mountain Sect to begin with, but who knew he’d come out first.

She sneered. Her figure was like a ghost, disappearing in front of everyone, using her Flash Steps.

The leading pupil of the Vast Mountain Sect only felt that her eyes were too threatening, then after seeing her disappear, an ominous feeling rose in his heart that he had never felt before. His neck suddenly felt a chill.

When Lou Mu Yan appeared in front of everyone again, she suddenly stood on the side of the leading pupil of the Vast Mountain Sect and choked his neck with one hand.

“I didn’t expect you to be so tall and big, but have such a thin neck. I wonder if it’ll make a sound of broken bones if it’s crushed.”

Lou Mu Yan’s stunning face bloomed with a smile as beautiful as a poppy, “I like hearing the sound of bones cracking the most, how about everyone?”

1for a while now, perhaps the last dozen or so times it was mentioned, the author’s actually been using ‘极’寒金晶 (Extreme Frost Golden Crystal) as opposed to ‘天’寒金晶 (Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal). But I’m going to keep it as ‘Heavenly’ since that’s what the author used when it was first mentioned. Whether the author corrected it and intends to use this new one from now on or the author forgot what was used prior, I’ll take the liberty to keep ‘Heavenly’ instead of changing it to ‘Extreme’. The author did make a few mistakes before when the 天寒金晶 and 天寒金髓 (Heavenly Frost Golden Essence) was first mentioned, using the word 极 instead of 天, but it’s always been corrected. However, from the looks of it, the author might be using the word 极 from now on. But I’ll be translating it to ‘Heavenly’ still.
