Swoosh, swoosh …
Golden gourd vines rose from the ground and quickly bound the invisible Heaven Beast. The thorns on the gourd vines quickly pierced through the beast's fur, instantly rendering the Heaven Beast invisible.
Whoosh!
The poisonous arrow pierced through the air and directly shot into the Heaven Beast's other eye. Immediately, blood splattered and miserable howls sounded. This time, both of the Heaven Beast's eyes were blinded. With an angry roar, it fiercely pounced over. It was indeed a ferocious beast. After losing both of its eyes, it still wanted to kill people.
Lin Muyu rushed out with her sword and used Falling Star Steps. She suddenly jumped to the star position, and her figure instantly changed. She raised her left fist, which was surrounded by blood-red Seven Luminaries Dark Force. She suddenly punched the Heaven Beast's cheek.
Bam!
This punch was really powerful, and it forced the Sky Beast to retreat repeatedly. The Sky Beast's ferocious nature flared up, and it quickly pounced at Lin Muyu again. However, Lin Muyu dodged it, and the Sky Beast's upper and lower teeth snapped in the air. The strength and speed of this attack were really shocking, but it was clearly inferior to Lin Muyu's Falling Star Steps.
"Wuwu …"
The Heaven Beast shook its head violently. Only when it launched its attack did it realize that something was wrong with its body. It couldn't use all its strength, and it could only use less than 10% of its spiritual power.
As a result, Lin Muyu was able to use 60% of her battle energy, so she naturally had the upper hand. Thanks to Qingfeng Zui, she wouldn't have such an advantage. The Heaven Beast was scheming, but it didn't expect Lin Muyu to be an expert in using poison!
Swish …
The Dragon Spirit Sword slashed at the Sky Beast's neck in a fiery red arc. With just one slash, blood and flesh splattered everywhere. After being poisoned, the Sky Beast lost its spiritual power, which weakened its defensive energy layer a lot. With just one slash, the Dragon Spirit Sword penetrated nearly 20 centimeters into the Sky Beast's flesh, revealing the bones!
"Roar!"
It roared and shook its head. Its tail turned into a sharp light that swept across, but Lin Muyu easily dodged it. To Lin Muyu, the Heaven Beast was too slow!
Quickly changing the angle, Lin Muyu brazenly swung her sword again, this time on the same wound.
"Aooo …"
The Sky Beast let out a blood-curdling howl as its spine was split in half. Bone fragments splashed everywhere. The sharpness of the Dragon Spirit Sword was evident. Moreover, Lin Muyu had used all of her fighting energy to slash the Sky Beast, so her strength was naturally extraordinary!
"Roar …"
The dying Heaven's Beast roared angrily. It suddenly raised its head and launched a light energy shockwave!
Lin Muyu hurriedly condensed the walls of the gourd to block the attack. The golden light kept bouncing off the Sky Beast's attacks. Wei Chou, Xiahou Sang, and the others behind her also retreated far away. The battle in front of them was still beyond their reach.
"Rustle …"
She stepped on the ground with her battle boots, turned her body skillfully, and slashed for the third time with the sword in her hand!
"Crack …"
This time, the sound was crisper. Lin Muyu had used all of her strength in this attack. The Dragon Spirit Sword shone brightly and directly cut off the Sky Beast's head along with its bones. With a plop, the huge beast's head rolled on the snowy ground, but its body was still waving its sharp claws and swinging its tail in the air. This process lasted for nearly a minute before the headless body slowly fell to the ground and died.
…
"Oh my …"
Wei Chou, Xiahou Sang, and the others were dumbfounded. They had seen many powerful spirit beasts, but they had never seen a spirit beast with such vitality.
"It's done …"
Lin Muyu sat on the snowy ground and held the Sky Beast's head with one hand. She sneered and said, "You beast injured the umbrella dragon mother and son and waited there for an opportunity. In the end, you targeted us and followed us from the Forest of Malicious Spirits all the way to Lanyan City. You didn't expect to end up like this, did you?"
Wei Chou walked forward and patted Lin Muyu's shoulder. He laughed heartily and said, "Commander, we finally don't have to die under the sharp teeth of the Sky Beast!"
It was the joy of escaping from death.
Lin Muyu gritted his teeth in pain. Wei Chou's inadvertent slap landed on his wound.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Commander. I got carried away and deserved to die!" Wei Chou hurriedly cupped his fists and knelt in front of her.
Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile. "Get up. It's okay. It wasn't easy to kill this Sky Beast. Everyone worked hard. But … when we return to Lanyan City, we must not mention this Sky Beast and pretend it never happened. Just say … just say that Han Shao died in the line of duty while fighting the umbrella dragon."
"Why is that, Madam?" Xiahou Sang said blankly, "The Sky Beast is the nightmare of all cultivators. Madam, you killed this Sky Beast with your own strength and ingenious plan. You're the only person in Lanyan City who can do this. Why do you want to hide the truth?"
Lin Muyu shook her head with a smile. "It's precisely because very few people can kill a Sky Beast that we have to keep our mouths shut. If the Divine Marquis Estate and Military Police Camp know that we killed the Sky Beast, believe it or not, Military Police Camp will definitely send people to investigate us. Maybe they'll even think of stealing the Sky Beast's Spirit Stone. It's always good for us to keep a low profile."
Wei Chou cupped his fists and said, "Commander is wise. I agree!"
Xiahou Sang didn't really understand, but he still cupped his fists and said with a smile, "I, Xiahou Sang, am a boor and don't understand these things. But don't worry, Xiahou Sang will keep my mouth shut!"
"Okay!"
Lin Muyu stood up and used the Dragon Spirit Sword to cut open the Sky Beast's skull. Then, she placed a scalding Light Spirit Stone into her Qiankun Bag. This was a Sky Beast Spirit Stone that had a lifespan of 13,400 years. Whether it was its age or quality, it was a rare item. As for how to use it, Lin Muyu already had a plan. She would use this Sky Beast Spirit Stone to refine the soul of the Demon Noise Saber!
Although the Demon Noise Saber was a hidden weapon created by the famous general Feng Yicheng, it was only sharp. It was still a long way from being a real divine weapon. It could be used to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but if it encountered a real expert, the Demon Noise Saber would probably be useless. This Demon Noise Saber couldn't even cut through the Sky Beast's skull, which proved its lack of sharpness.
… …
Wei Chou used his longsword to cut the Sky Beast's fur, but he couldn't pierce through it. He couldn't help but be speechless and said, "My Lady, the Sky Beast's fur seems to be a good treasure and can be made into good leather armor. However, my blade isn't sharp enough to skin it. Can I borrow your Dragon Spirit Sword?"
Lin Muyu raised her hand, and the Dragon Spirit Sword fell into Wei Qiu's hand. She smiled and said, "Be quick. Everyone, have a good night's rest. We'll return at dawn tomorrow. We should be able to reach Lanyan City before noon."
"Yes!"
Not long after, Wei Chou peeled off the Sky Beast's fur. Since it was a very rare Sky Beast, he even broke the bones of the spirit beast, separated the meat from the bones, and put them into a bag. The heart and liver were also put into another bag. As for the skull, he dug out the brain. Xiahou Sang even laughed and said that since the Sky Beast was so smart, it would definitely become smarter after eating its brain. This made Lin Muyu smile. These people dared to eat anything. If they were born in modern times, they must be Cantonese compatriots or descendants of Bear Grylls.
With the death of the Sky Beast, everyone's sense of crisis was relieved. This place was very close to Lanyan City, so the spirit beasts that appeared were only about 1,000 years old. Even if a group of wolves attacked, Wei Chou and Xiahou Sang were enough to resist. Therefore, Lin Muyu finally had a good night's sleep. When she woke up the next day, she found that it was snowing again.
A simple "tent" was set up above her head. It was a tent that Wei Chou made for Lin Muyu by tying his and Xiahou Sang's imperial guards' cloaks together. Although it couldn't block the wind, it could block the snow. Lin Muyu had been too tired these days. Wei Chou and Xiahou Sang understood that, so they took care of this superior who had saved their lives more than once.
…
In the morning, they had a delicious soup made from the Sky Beast's heart. It tasted pretty good. The Sky Beast had been at the top of the food chain all its life, but now it had become a piece of meat in someone else's soup pot. It was really miserable.
After eating, they drank some wine and warmed up before setting off.
They galloped at full speed and arrived at Lanyan City before noon.
Lin Muyu had to personally go to Ze Tian Palace to hand in the order, and Wei Chou, Xiahou Sang, and the others had to follow because Han Shao had died on this mission. Every imperial guard was personally appointed by the Emperor, so every one of them was very important. The death of an imperial guard in the line of duty was a big deal in itself. Therefore, the Military Police Battalion had to intervene in the investigation of Han Shao's death.
Exhausted, he rode his horse into the side hall next to the Ze Tian Palace. Ze Tian Palace's supervisor, Che Qiong, was sipping wine with her eyes closed. Outside the door, Lin Muyu cupped her fists and said, "Master Che Qiong, the Eagle Nest Camp is here to hand in the order. We have found the 6000 years worth of Light Spirit Stones."
"What, so fast?"
Che Qiong stood up and wiped the grease off his mouth. He smiled and said, "Madam Lin Muyu, please come in!"
Lin Muyu held a piece of black cloth in his hand, and on top of the cloth lay the spirit stone, which was glistening. He smiled and said, "As for the spirit beast skin, we will prepare it in a while. Just send this over for now."
"Okay, Commander, thank you for your hard work!"
Che Qiong smiled and said to the group of people behind him who were drinking together, "Madam Yuchi Yan, the Spirit Stone has been found. Soon, you will be able to forge a divine weapon that Her Highness Yin will admire!"
Among the crowd, a man about 30 years old with an imposing appearance stood up and walked over. He grabbed the Spirit Stone and weighed it in his hand. He smiled and said, "There is a full 6,500 years of Light Spirit Power stored. With this treasure, I will definitely be able to forge a long sword that will embarrass many blacksmiths in Lanyan City. Hmph, Her Highness Yin will definitely be satisfied and look at me in a new light!"
Lin Muyu stood there quietly. Her shoulder was still wrapped in bloody gauze.
Wei Chou frowned and said in a low voice, "Madam, this Yuchi Yan did not even look at you. He is extremely rude!"
Lin Muyu said lightly, "It's okay. Let's go back!"
"Yes!"
…
At this moment, a eunuch announced from outside, "Her Highness Qin Yin has arrived!"
Lin Muyu could not help but smile. "Xiao Yin is really well-informed …"
Wei Chou also smiled and said, "Yes, after all, you have been away from Lanyan City for five days …"
