Chapter 65: When Souls Figh (1/2)

“Get lost!” A shout resounded, and a green sword light blossomed in the air. Ding! The shadow of Ruo Feng’s blade was engulfed by the light, and he slid back from the sheer impact. He only stopped upon reaching Mu Rongyue’s side and nearly fell.

“How strong!” Ruo Feng was appalled and terrified. He raised his head to look at the person who had appeared and was stunned.

“It’s you?” Mu Rongyue was shocked as well. The person was someone with whom she was familiar: Qing Yun. They had met at the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, where Qing Yun had fought Qin Yu. Mu Rongyue was taken aback by the current Qing Yun. Her cultivation stage seemed to have surpassed Mu Rongyue’s own. Back at the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, Qing Yun had only been at the apex of the Origin Realm . How did she become so strong all of a sudden? Of course, now wasn’t the time to consider this. Why did Qing Yun suddenly appear? What did she want? Did she want to fight Qin Yu again? He was definitely in no condition to do so.

“Qin Yu?” Qing Yun saw Qin Yu on Mu Rongyue’s back, and her heart quivered. She screamed and dashed up to him.

“Stop there! What do you intend to do?” Ruo Feng waved his huge blade, blocking Qing Yun.

Qing Yun’s gaze hardened, and her voice grew cold. “Get lost.”

“That’s fine, as long as you manage to step over my dead body.” Ruo Feng refused to budge.

“Sure, you will die then.” The Qingfeng Sword in Qing Yun’s grasp emitted a green light once more.

“Stop!” Mu Rongyue shouted, hoping to avoid a fight. She knew Ruo Feng was no match for Qing Yun, and she couldn’t watch him die in vain. “Miss Qing Yun, what are your intentions?”

“Hm?” Qing Yun was silent a moment as her gaze landed on Mu Rongyue. She seemed to have seen Mu Rongyue somewhere before. On the night at the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, Mu Rongyue had noticed Qing Yun, but she hadn’t paid attention to Mu Rongyue. Furthermore, it was dark and her vision poor; so, Qing Yun had a rather shallow impression of Mu Rongyue, but she did manage to remember her.

“You know my name? I think we’ve met. You’re…” Qing Yun recalled the woman, but she didn’t know Mu Rongyue’s name. Although Mu Rongyue could learn Qing Yun’s name from many other people, Qing Yun could not do the same for Mu Rongyue.

Mu Rongyue replied, “I’m called Mu Rongyue. We met at the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.”

“So, you were the girl beside Qin Yu that night. You…” Qing Yun stated, yet stopped abruptly, her expression slightly changed.

“There’s blood over there; let’s check it out!” Others were coming.

“Leave quickly!” Qing Yun urged. Neither Mu Rongyue nor Ruo Feng moved. Qing Yun grew anxious. “What are you waiting for? Follow me quickly. I know a safe place where we can heal his injuries.”

Upon hearing that Qin Yu’s wounds could be healed, Mu Rongyue no longer hesitated and departed swiftly with Qing Yun. “Okay, let’s go.” They fled, only a few steps ahead of the hunters following Qin Yu’s blood trail.

The ghastly trail ended at a random spot in the forest. “Hey, that’s weird; where did the blood trail go? I clearly heard people talking around here, yet they’ve vanished along with their voices?” One of the hunters wondered to himself in doubt.

“You go back and report the circumstances here, and I’ll continue searching,” his partner responded.

“Right, I’ll go now.” The man nodded, spun around, and ran in the direction from which they had come.

……

Flanked by their men, Mu Rongrui and Can Bao stood over the Blood Demon’s corpse. Seeing the decaying body shrouded in black mist, Mu Rongrui’s pupils constricted. He stepped forward and murmured, “Demonic yin qi.”
