Hot flames rose up and hovered above the Umbrella Dragon's corpse. This was the 3200-year-old Umbrella Dragon's Beast Spirit, which was also the essence of its body.
"Yu, hurry up, now!"
"Okay!"
Lin Muyu quickly summoned his Martial Soul. The red gourd quickly grew bigger and started to absorb the Umbrella Dragon's Beast Spirit greedily. At the same time, Lin Muyu summoned the Crafting Cauldron. The cauldron turned into an energy form and enveloped Lin Muyu and the Spirit Beast. Lulu flapped her transparent wings and flew out. She giggled and said, "Brother, it's not easy to completely refine this Beast Spirit. You still need enough water to cool down the flames in the Umbrella Dragon's Beast Spirit."
"Okay." Lin Muyu turned his gaze and said to Chu Yao, "Sister, help me get some water."
"Okay!"
They passed by a small stream on their way here. Chu Yao immediately took a water bag and went there. Ten minutes later, she returned and poured the water in the water bag into the energy halo in the air. The water moved with the wind and slowly evaporated. It was very novel. Chu Yao had seen people refine Beast Spirits before, but she had never seen Lin Muyu refine it in such a way.
The water continued to cool down the rampaging energy within the Beast Spirit. Lin Mu Yu opened his arms wide and his Zhen Qi morphed into a giant hand that moved back and forth within the Beast Spirit. He wanted to find the most essential part of the Beast Spirit. Only by refining that part would he be able to obtain the Spirit Beast's skills.
After nearly 20 minutes, he finally found a very thick Beast Spirit. It was very pure. When Lin Muyu tried to grab it, he was hit by a very strong counterattack. Soon, his forehead was covered in sweat, but he did not give up. After nearly five minutes of struggle, the power finally surrendered to the Crafting Cauldron.
"Phew!"
Taking a deep breath, Lin Muyu opened her eyes. The Treasure Refining Cauldron transformed into a cloud of smoke. The Umbrella Dragon's Beast Spirit had been completely refined by her and she had obtained a new skill.
"Congratulations, Brother. This skill is called Dragon Scale Barrier. What do you want to name it?" Lulu said with a smile.
"Let's call it Dragon Scale Wall!"
"Okay."
At this time, the gourd had turned orange. Lin Muyu shouted and a thick dragon power surged to the gourd wall. It formed an orange scale defense around the gourd wall. It was the Dragon Scale Wall. This meant that Lin Muyu's defense had increased a lot. The Dragon Scale Wall had to break the Mystic Tortoise Shell first and then the Dragon Scale Wall to be able to hurt him. The Dragon scale wall was much stronger than the Mystic Tortoise Shell!
At the same time, he took a deep breath. After raising his Qi, he suddenly swung his fist. He felt a mysterious power slowly condensing on his arm, forming a layer of Qi armor that protected his right arm.
"It's the Qi Armor!" Chu Yao said with a smile. "Congratulations, Yu. You've reached the third level of the Earth Realm. You should be a level 50 Battle-Saint now!"
Lin Muyu was also happy. Happiness came too suddenly. If this Umbrella Dragon wasn't injured, she probably wouldn't have the chance to subdue it. She might even be eaten by it!
…
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from afar. A general in golden armor rushed over with a broadsword in his hand. His eyes were fixed on the Umbrella Dragon's corpse.
Feng Jixing dismounted from his horse. His expression was very serious, and his grip on the broadsword tightened.
"This Umbrella Dragon … was you the one who killed it?" He looked at Lin Muyu coldly.
Lin Muyu's expression also became serious. She knew that this person was not a kind person. She couldn't even fathom the aura on his body. It was as if she couldn't see through this person's power. Lin Muyu stepped forward and stood in front of Chu Yao. "That's right. I killed it. I've also refined the beast spirit."
"You've completely refined the 3200-year-old Umbrella Dragon's beast spirit?" Feng Jixing raised his head and looked at her. He sneered. "Not bad. Looks like you're quite lucky."
Lin Muyu said, "Yes …"
"But do you know who this spirit beast belongs to?" Feng Jixing's expression changed. "You even dare to steal Her Highness Yin's prey. Brat, you're really not afraid of death!"
Lin Muyu slowly pulled out the Burning Prairie Sword. "I'm sorry. I didn't know that this spirit beast was injured because it was being chased. But if you want to kill me, it won't be that easy."
"Is that so?"
Feng Jixing smiled. Milky white energy flowed slowly on the blade. The white cloak behind him moved even though there was no wind. This white cloak was very well made. Lin Muyu found it familiar, but she couldn't remember where she'd seen it before.
Chu Yao noticed something and said in shock, "White true energy … it's battle energy! Heavens, this person can use battle energy. He's a Heavenly Realm expert! "
White Dou Qi was the symbol of power. All cultivators had to break through level 60 and step into the Heaven Realm to be able to transform their True Qi into the even more powerful Dou Qi. In the Qin Empire, those who could summon Dou Qi could already be ranked among the top experts.
Feng Jixing's lips curled up. "Heavenly Realm level 64, Feng Jixing. Thank you for your guidance!"
Lin Muyu had already summoned the gourd wall. "Earth Realm level 50, Lin Muyu. Please enlighten me!"
The difference was too great!
But he had to fight. For himself and for Chu Yao.
…
The Mystic Tortoise Shell formed inch by inch on the outside of the Dragon Scale Wall. Lin Muyu had used more than 80% of his Zhen Qi as a defensive power. He had no intention of defeating his opponent by attacking. The person in front of him had increased his strength rapidly, causing him to feel suffocated. This was a peerless expert that he had never met before, other than Qu Chu!
After Feng Jixing channeled his ferocious Dou Qi into his broadsword, he immediately advanced, his figure faintly discernible as he chopped down with his sword.
However, he hadn't expected that the kid before him would easily dodge it with a flash. Moreover, the kid's footsteps were simply like a falling star, and he didn't hesitate in the slightest.
He turned around and slashed with the blade!
"Peng!"
The power surged out. Lin Muyu's body trembled. The outer Black Tortoise Shell was instantly shattered. His heart turned cold. This person's speed was too fast, so fast that even Falling Star Steps couldn't dodge it completely. Also, the power of the broadsword was so fierce that one strike shattered the Black Tortoise Shell!
"Peng peng!"
Another two attacks. Feng Jixing's broadsword fell directly on the Dragon Scale Wall. Lin Muyu's Qi and blood surged, and the Dragon Scale Wall began to collapse. The opponent's next attack would definitely kill him, so he had to fight back!
"Entangle!"
Stepping on the ground, a gourd vine quickly rose up and wrapped around Feng Jixing's legs.
"What is this?"
Feng Jixing was stunned for a moment. After which, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Both of his legs exerted force and he rose from the ground. The biting cold Dou Qi quickly shattered the gourd vines. However, when he lowered his head, he discovered that a gourd flower was facing him. A feeling of uneasiness immediately rose from the bottom of his heart. He hurriedly brandished the long blade and shouted, "Blade Dance!"
The blade danced quickly, bringing with it a strong wind. It actually stirred up all the poisonous liquid.
That was not the end. A sharp whistle sounded in his ears. Feng Jixing's heart turned cold again, "How many ultimate moves does this stinking brat have?"
He suddenly turned around and slashed with his broadsword. "Keng!" His arm actually felt a little numb. The Demonic Noise Blade was slashed away by his broadsword. His body also suddenly fell down due to gravity. With a swing of his broadsword, he heavily slashed at Lin Muyu's shoulder.
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and brazenly raised his left hand. He threw a Demonic Noise Fist through the air!
"Peng!"
The True Qi of the Demonic Noise Fist surged out. Feng Jixing only felt a sense of suffocation in his chest. However, this kind of attack obviously could not hurt his body that had been tempered a thousand times!
"Dang!"
The broadsword collided with the Burning Prairie Sword. Immediately, Lin Muyu's True Qi completely dissipated. He spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated a few steps!
This time, he had lost. Moreover, it was a complete defeat!
Feng Jixing's strength was completely overwhelming. He simply did not have the slightest chance. Moreover, Lin Muyu had actually seen that Feng Jixing had not released his martial soul from the beginning to the end. If he had summoned his martial soul to assist him in battle, he was afraid that he would have already been defeated in a single move!
"Hua!"
Chu Yao quickly moved forward and spread her arms in front of Lin Muyu. There was no fear in her eyes as she said, "Feng Jixing, if you want to kill Yu, then kill me first!"
… …
However, a scene that she and Lin Muyu did not expect happened —
Feng Jixing raised his sword and sheathed it. A very bright smile bloomed on his face. "I, Feng Jixing, am the commander of the capital's 30,000 imperial guards. I am one of the seven White-robed Imperial Guards. I am known as a man who swears to defend justice. Why would I kill the innocent? Moreover … Chu Yao, you are Brother Chu Huaiyin's biological sister. If I really kill you, it would be strange if that brat doesn't come after me! "
Chu Yao was dumbfounded. "This … How do you know my brother?"
Feng Jixing laughed. "Chu Huaiyin is now one of the 200 Imperial Guards. He is also one of the top cultivators among them. How could I not know him? He is diligent in his cultivation and has never sent letters to his family. Moreover, he is now in the Imperial Palace. I'm afraid he doesn't know that something has happened to you. Otherwise, with his personality, he would be burning with anxiety. "
As he spoke, Feng Jixing gazed at Lin Muyu and said, "A 'Yu, your strength really isn't bad. It's simply like a miracle that you possess such a cultivation at your age. It's all thanks to you that Chu Yao was able to make it to Lanyan City alive!"
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Feng, for not killing me!"
Feng Jixing laughed heartily. "Even if you call me Brother Feng, I can't kill you. I can't kill a future talent of the Empire."
Lin Muyu wanted to say something more, but Feng Jixing seemed to know everything. He said, "Say no more. I will send someone to bring you to the capital and arrange everything. As for Silver Fir City … I have already sent a friend to investigate Hua Tian's murder three days ago. Everything will come to light and your innocence will be cleared!"
Lin Muyu was truly grateful this time. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Feng!"
Feng Jixing looked around and said, "This is not a place to stay. Hurry up and leave! Someone, bring them back to the capital. Let them stay at White Cloud Tavern. Treat them well and don't let them suffer anymore! I will go find them when I return to the capital. "
"Yes!"
The Imperial Guard general nodded and said to Lin Muyu, "Young hero, please follow me. We will take the small path back to the capital!"
"Alright!"
… …
After Lin Muyu and the rest left, Feng Jixing pulled out his battle sword and split open the Umbrella Dragon's head. He found a bloody Spirit Stone and smiled. "With you around, I can answer to Her Highness Yin … Sigh, Ah Yu is really something. Of all the Spirit Beasts he could have snatched, he had to snatch Her Highness Yin's. If Her Highness finds out the truth, Ah Yu will suffer …"
He shook his head helplessly and put the spirit stone into his robes. He said slowly, "Chu Huaiying, you little brat, you owe me a favor again. It's time for you to treat me to a drink again. This time, I want to drink the most expensive wine in the capital. Hmph, it's your fault for pretending to be drunk last time!"
