Chapter 597: Chapter 468: Appearance, Defecting Girl
An hour pa.s.sed quickly, and the two great leaders and Shen Yicheng swiftly appeared at the location where Chu Mu was trapped.
Now, Chu Mu could only move within a few hundred meters radius as the a.s.sa.s.sins closed in one by one, and Chu Mu found himself completely immersed in a bitter battle.
“Great Leader, Chu Chen has charged to the east!” The deputy leader relayed the situation within the a.s.sa.s.sin formation to the great leader.
“How many people are in the east?” asked the blue-clothed great leader.
“Nine. It’s enough to stop him!” said the deputy leader.
“Alright, let’s do it. Remember, we want him alive!” The great leader waved his hand.
It seemed that Shen Yicheng wanted to see Chu Mu being captured alive, so he didn’t stay behind to manipulate the a.s.sa.s.sins but instead directly rode his demon spirit towards the east.
The blue-clothed great leader glanced at the direction Shen Yicheng was heading, but he didn’t follow. Instead, he spoke to the other great leader: “Third deputy just reported, Master Pan is back.”
“Master Pan? Wasn’t he with our lord?”
“He must have sensed the complexity of the situation here.” said the blue-clothed great leader.
“If Master Pan returns, everything will become much easier!”
…
In the east, Chu Mu rode the Night Thunder Dream Beast while Zhan Ye continuously maneuvered through the dense forest…
Around him, the menacing green light flickered constantly, with cold gleaming claws pa.s.sing dangerously close to Chu Mu’s body, and large trees falling from either side.
Chu Mu now truly relied on his eyes and ears in every direction. He not only had to take the most subtle evasive route in the midst of disordered attacks, but also plan his next move in the shortest time possible, or even further beyond. Otherwise, the fifteen a.s.sa.s.sins behind him and the nine a.s.sa.s.sins ahead would trap him dead in the narrow s.p.a.ce.
“Swoosh~~~~~~~~~”
The Night Thunder Dream Beast let out a long cry, and its graceful figure traversed the gap of less than three meters between the trees. The Night Thunder Dream Beast could run over a hundred meters in just one second, requiring nearly ten fine movements in that hundred-meter span. This evasion ability surpa.s.sed that of some demon spirits with even greater strength than the Night Thunder Dream Beast.
“Chu Chen, let’s see where you can run now!” Suddenly, a slightly sharp laughter came from above the trees. Chu Mu was all too familiar with this voice, which belonged to Shen Yicheng, who had been plotting to kill him.
Upon hearing Shen Yicheng’s voice, Chu Mu let out a cold laugh. He patted the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s horn, prompting the beast to change its direction slightly, moving away from Shen Yicheng and quickly disappearing from the a.s.sa.s.sins’ line of sight…
…
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”
A destructive light fell, another a.s.sa.s.sin fell into Chu Mu’s trap, and got blasted into pieces by the Night Thunder Dream Beast and Zhan Ye’s destructive light. The green-eyed monster was also blown away.
After killing the a.s.sa.s.sin, Chu Mu hesitated no more, and quickly ran to the east.
However, the s.p.a.ce for Chu Mu to move was shrinking. Fifteen a.s.sa.s.sins had completely surrounded him.
If it were just fifteen a.s.sa.s.sins, Chu Mu might be able to hold his own for a while. But Chu Mu, with his sharp perception, sensed a powerful oppressive force approaching!
It was the aura of a powerful soul pet coming from the east, right in the direction where Chu Mu could have escaped! If this path was sealed, Chu Mu would have nowhere to hide!
The chilling aura a.s.saulted him once again, and Chu Mu was certain that this soul pet had completely locked onto him and was only a short distance away.
Chu Mu was secretly alarmed that there was such a powerful soul pet master among the a.s.sa.s.sins, and his heart grew even heavier as the fifteen a.s.sa.s.sins quickly sealed off all his escape routes.
“Boom~~~~~~~~~~”
Suddenly, a loud noise erupted, and the dense vegetation in front of Chu Mu was opened up by a pair of huge hands. In an instant, a skull with blood-red ferocious eyes appeared above the tree crown, staring down at Chu Mu and his soul pet!
A strong, overpowering scent of blood rushed towards them like a storm, pushing Chu Mu to involuntarily take a few steps back. Chu Mu raised his head in horror to look at this blood-covered soul pet.
It was a blood beast! A monarch-level blood beast!
This colossal monster had a pair of hideous bat-like flesh wings on its back. When the wings were half-folded, they were nearly ten meters in length!
“Young Master, this is a ninth rank high stage – intermediate monarch-level Bat Lord Blood Beast!” exclaimed Fox Elder.
Above the Bat Lord Blood Beast’s head, a proud man stood and looked down at Chu Mu with a condescending gaze. His eyes were indifferent, but one could clearly sense the contempt!
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh~~~~~~~~~~~”
As the soul pet master riding the Bat Lord Blood Beast appeared, Chu Mu’s surroundings were filled with flickering green lights, and a pair of terrifying eyes stared unblinkingly at Chu Mu…
Soon after, fifteen a.s.sa.s.sins quickly surrounded Chu Mu and, with their Demon Spirit Green-eyed Monsters, encircled him, leaving him no chance to escape.
“Master Pan…” The deputy leader of the a.s.sa.s.sins glanced at the Bat Lord Blood Beast that had completely sealed off the east side, then respectfully addressed the man on the Blood Beast’s head.
The man called ‘Master Pan’ calmly looked at the a.s.sa.s.sins and spoke slowly: “Do you guys even have a brain?”
“Master Pan, we’ve done our best.” The deputy leader hastily apologized.
“Take a look at your feet.” Master Pan coldly ordered.
The a.s.sa.s.sins were stunned, and when they lowered their heads, cold sweat broke out on all their foreheads.
While the a.s.sa.s.sins focused on surrounding Chu Mu, they believed that he was utterly trapped. However, they never expected that they were all standing in a ma.s.sive trap. If it weren’t for Master Pan’s reminder, once the trap was activated, all of them and their soul pets would fall into its depths!
“Chu Chen, put away your soul pet. This trap will still be somewhat useful against these fools…” Master Pan looked down at Chu Mu and said.
Chu Mu’s heart sank. This trap was set up by duplicating the Ran Wood Trap of the Demon Tree Warrior. Once activated, it would undoubtedly wreak havoc on the unsuspecting a.s.sa.s.sins, allowing him to escape.
But Chu Mu didn’t expect a second-tier hidden powerful being with astounding strength to suddenly appear, completely disrupting his plan and leaving him no chance to activate the Ran Wood Trap.
Knowing that he couldn’t handle so many enemies, Chu Mu, to ensure the safety of his soul pets, had put all of them into the Soul Pet s.p.a.ce when the Bat Lord Blood Beast appeared, looking like he was surrendering.
Soon, two deputy leaders approached Chu Mu, recited a spell to seal Chu Mu’s Soul Sense, and brought him in front of Master Pan.
“Master Pan, how should we deal with him?” The deputy leader asked.
“Throw him up here. Our lord wants to see him.” Master Pan lifted the corner of his mouth and said to the deputy leader.
The deputy leader carried the Chu Mu, whose Soul Sense had been completely sealed, and put him on the back of the Bat Lord Blood Beast. Master Pan looked at Chu Mu and said: “Killing fifteen a.s.sa.s.sins, you’re quite capable. But those who oppose us will still die, no matter how capable.”
Chu Mu sat on the back of the Bat Lord Blood Beast, with an a.s.sa.s.sin deputy leader behind him ready to take his life at any time. However, his eyes did not reveal any panic; instead, he calmly looked at Master Pan and asked, “Is your lord a woman?”
Master Pan was taken aback but quickly regained his composure and said indifferently, “You’ll know when you see her. Although I don’t know why our lord wants to see you, I think your fate will be miserable.”
Taking a deep breath, Chu Mu could tell from Master Pan’s expression that their lord was indeed a woman, and the woman might very well be the Defecting Girl!
“Knock him out.” Master Pan ordered the deputy leader.
The deputy leader unleashed a Mental Piercing, aggressively stimulating Chu Mu’s psyche. Chu Mu, however, could not resist this psychic attack since his Soul Sense had already been sealed. His consciousness gradually became blurry…
In fact, Chu Mu hadn’t entirely lost consciousness. He was in a semi-conscious state, ready to release the Demon Flame from his body at any sign of life-threatening danger!
Even after a Soul Pet Master recalled their soul pets and had their Soul Sense sealed, they were practically useless. But neither Master Pan nor the deputy leader realized that Chu Mu could still use the power of the Demon Flame even with his Soul Sense sealed…
…
In his semi-conscious state, Chu Mu lost his sense of time, only feeling that the Bat Lord Blood Beast had flown a long distance, at least far away from the jungle basin.
Suddenly, icy cold water splashed on Chu Mu’s face.
Chu Mu immediately opened his eyes and became instantly alert!
In front of Chu Mu was a flat-top mountain with low hanging dark clouds on its peak, almost feeling within reach.
On the mountain top were two men and two women. Two of them, a man and a woman, were the deputy leader of the a.s.sa.s.sins and the powerful youth surnamed Pan who had brought Chu Mu here.
The other two were both male. One stood half a step behind the veiled woman, clearly showing that he was a subordinate, just like the powerful youth surnamed Pan.
Seeing the veiled woman, Chu Mu’s heart trembled. For a moment, he even thought she was Princess Jinrou, and his heart raced.
However, upon closer examination, Chu Mu realized that they were not the same person!
At least their figures were different. Princess Jinrou’s figure was seductive and captivating, inspiring endless imagination.
The figure of the woman before him could only be described as an art form. Whether it was her lines or proportions, they exuded astonishing perfection that seemed almost untouchable.
But no matter how breathtakingly beautiful this woman’s body was, Chu Mu wasn’t attracted to her. Instead, he felt his body’s muscles trembling slightly, and his heart rate accelerating rapidly!
Chu Mu’s emotions surged at this moment, and he knew exactly who this person was. Even without any soul connection, Chu Mu could be certain!!
Chu Mu took a deep breath and spoke with a shaky tone:
“There’s no need to hide, I know it’s you!” (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to ReadNovelFull () to vote, support, and leave recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
