The woman wore a black top and black skirt while silver accessories adorned her head. There were also over a dozen silver bracelets with bells on her wrists. Her appearance was impressive, and soon a person walked over to take the portrait from her hands to hang it on the announcement board.
The woman of True Heaven Palace looked down at them from high above and said, ”This fugitive from Great Ruins is extremely important and will come from the flaming desert in the next few days so you guys have to be alert. If you see him, don't make a commotion so he won't be alerted.”
Xiong Qi'er wanted to run over to look, but Qin Mu grabbed her tiny hand to prevent her from getting lost.
There was a large crowd in front of the announcement board, and it was impenetrable. However, Xiong Qi'er still managed to squeeze all the way forward while pulling Qin Mu behind her. He then raised his head to see himself on the painting. On top of it were written—Great Ruins' Fugitive Qin Mu.
Xiong Qi'er was both surprised and delighted. ”Fatty Dragon, you are also beside big brother! Only I'm missing”
The surroundings had been full of noise moments ago, but everyone fell silent at that moment. They looked at Qin Mu.
He seemed to not notice anything as he looked at the announcement board with a smile. ”This is the work of Pangong Tso; he painted it personally. Xing An also had a portrait of me which was drawn by him, so I can recognize his strokes.”
Whoosh!
The surroundings instantly emptied as the crowd dispersed, moving as far away from him as possible.
Qin Mu paid no mind to it and continued to smile. ”Grandmaster still has a wide circle of friends and knows quite a lot of people. It's a pity he ran too fast and I didn't manage to kill him.”
”Great Ruins' fugitive, die!”
An angry shout came from behind him followed by a whoosh as the tree man raised its gigantic feet to step on him. The tree man was incomparably heavy and its power was immense. Since there were a lot of trees and their prices weren't high, divine arts practitioners of West Earth would usually choose them as their main transportation and weapon in battle.
The tree man that the female disciple of True Heaven Palace had chosen was of a different breed, though. Its branches, trunk, and leaves were crimson like blood, and based on its appearance, it seemed to have gone through numerous battles, gaining quite an awe-inspiring air about itself.
Qin Mu stretched out his hand in a grabbing motion, and a ball of green light flew out from the tree man's body which froze it in place. Qin Mu had taken out the soul of the tree. Xiong Xiyu had imparted Ten Thousand Spirit Nature Technique to him so even though he felt that it wasn't as easy for men to cultivate as to women, he had still put in quite some effort into it.
The disciple of True Heaven Palace was astonished, and the silver accessories on her head suddenly flew up, transforming into a silver phoenix that rushed at Qin Mu. The silver bracelets on her arms also flew out to encase his head.
Flames blazed around Qin Mu's body and before the silver phoenix and silver bracelets could even reach him, they turned into a puddle of molten metal.
The female disciple of True Heaven Palace saw that her situation was bad and immediately turned to leave. Her clothes fluttered and brought her to soar into the sky. She didn't even have to use any flying spells.
”Ten Thousand Spirit Nature Technique is really miraculous, even the clothes can allow one to fly,” Qin Mu exclaimed with admiration. ”Seems like I have still underestimated this technique.”
The woman grunted and fell from the sky.
”Big trouble!” The crowd in the surroundings fled in all directions while shouting among themselves. ”A lowly man is going to kill a female master!”
Qin Mu looked around and saw that the street was already empty. The doors and windows of all the houses were shut, and there wasn't a soul in the surroundings. Only the dragon qilin and Xiong Qi'er were still standing beside him while the female disciple of True Heaven Palace was sprawled on the ground. The fall had stunned her.
”Do you know how to reach True Heaven Palace?” Qin Mu asked with a friendly expression
That female disciple of True Heaven Palace suddenly flipped forward and the hairpins in her head shot toward his eyes like swords. She quickly moved to a house beside the street and she raised her hand to pluck down the god statue on the inscribed board.
Boom!
The house suddenly stood up and transformed into a giant. The two small rooms became the fists which smashed down on Qin Mu!
The hairpins froze in place when they got near Qin Mu's eyes. The formations in them swirled, and the hairpins melted into droplets of molten silver.
Qin Mu raised his head, and the star lights shone in his eyes, sweeping toward the house giant. Through a window, he could see a family shivering inside and not daring to move.
”I knew these god statues had no use.” Two beams of light shot out from his eyes and swept past the female disciple of True Heaven Palace. He said indifferently, ”As divine arts practitioners, you care nothing about these ordinary people. I despise you.”
The two beams became shorter and shorter, returning back into his eyes. The formations that were swirling crazily vanished and the stars gradually dimmed.
The house giant landed down with a crash and transformed back into a circular house.
Qin Mu turned to leave as the woman on the roof froze. She didn't dare to move.
When Qin Mu picked Xiong Qi'er and jumped onto the dragon qilin's back, the sound of the door opening came from below. The female disciple of True Heaven Palace revealed a look of terror and lowered her voice. ”Don't open the door…”
Creak.
The door slowly opened more, and the woman screamed, ”Don't open the doo—”
Her vital qi couldn't stabilize her body anymore and blood lines appeared on her neck and waist. Two chunks of flesh then slid off from her waist and tumbled down to the street. Her two legs fell off the roof afterward.
”Cult Master is really benevolent.” Outside the small town, the dragon qilin couldn't help exclaiming in admiration. ”That woman was so ruthless yet Cult Master—”
Just as he said that, he heard the screams of the woman behind him, so he turned back to look. He was just in time to see the sight of her lower body falling off. This made him unable to resist a shiver.
