The Charm of Soul Pets

The devil stake stood in place. Usually, battles ended with a victory or defeat. Either one stood victorious over the corpse of the enemy, or one died on the battlefield. When was there ever a stake being set up to burn people slowly, forcing an immortal rank expert and their soul pet to withstand the burn and pain of these soul devil flames?

Since Chu Mu wanted the three of them to die together, he naturally had to control the flames, burning Nine Ghosts Shen slowly. He either had to slow down death by burning, or finish off the last two people quickly.

Xu Lu definitely had to die last. Chu Mu looked over first to Ocean Lord Xue Yingfeng, who was on his Python Tail Blue Lion!

Ocean Lord Xue Yingfeng was someone Chu Mu wasn’t too familiar with. He didn’t know whether he was even a bad person. In fact, as the leader of Wupan Navy, he definitely represented justice and righteousness to a certain extent.

Yet, why would this matter to Chu Mu?

Chu Mu’s judgment of good and evil was personal, and it was never about reputation. Anyone that harmed the people closest to him was an enemy and they must die!

Ocean Lord Xue Yingfeng was drenched in a cold sweat now. He knew that he was next!

Xue Yingfeng’s expression became unprecedentedly grave. Battles verging on death were things he had experienced before, except, this time, he knew very clearly that his chances of escaping from this devil man was nearly zero!

“Come on, do your best!!” Xue Yingfeng threw away his fear and taunted the devil man Chu Mu.

Since he was dead no matter what, he might as well try his best. Xue Yingfeng forced down the fear in his heart and decided to fight this devil man head-on!

Chu Mu lightly glanced at Xue Yingfeng. This action was laughable in Chu Mu’s eyes.

Even if the other five people all revived again and fought together, Chu Mu could still take Xue Yingfeng’s life easily, let alone fighting Xue Yingfeng alone!

“You will be treated just like this elemental sect person and wil die quickly!” Chu Mu said in distaste.

“Can’t wait!” Xue Yingfeng coldly humphed.

After speaking, Xue Yingfeng commanded the Python Tail Blue Lion to take the initiative in attacking Chu Mu!

Its long python tail became a vicious python. Python Tail Blue Lion first used a shattering claw on Chu Mu. Following that, it made its python tail bare its poisonous fangs towards Chu Mu’s neck!

The Blue Lion’s poisonous python bite could ignore defenses. Xue Yingfeng knew this was his only chance of damaging Chu Mu!

He wanted to use the instant this black and white devil man underestimated him and would snap his neck!

Chu Mu stopped the first attack, and wanted to instantly kill Xue Yingfeng when his Other Pupils suddenly noticed a cold glint coming from the assaulting python tail!

Even when slowed down in his Other Pupil, this poisonous python tail was still incredibly fast, showing its true strength as the lion’s last-ditch effort!

Chu Mu stepped back, and went into the other dimension, appearing a moment later thousands of meters away.

“Hahaha, aren’t you really powerful? Why are you backing off?” Xue Yingfeng laughed maniacally!

The battle had always been the black and white devil man slaughtering the immortal rank experts. Even when facing seven immortal rank experts together, killing them was a piece of cake.

Yet, against Xue Yingfeng alone, this black and white devil man had backed off. To Xue Yingfeng, who accepted death already, this was enough!

A thousand meters away, Chu Mu glanced apathetically at the only immortal rank unafraid of death, Xue Yingfeng.

“In reality, I just didn’t want your dirty blood on my body.” Chu Mu said calmly.

After Chu Mu spoke, Xue Yingfeng suddenly realized something and looked down!

Under Xue Yingfeng and Python Tail Blue Lion, there suddenly appeared a high-frequency spatial whirlpool. This whirlpool, under the devil man’s control, created a powerful suction that pulled both Xue Yingfeng and the Python Tail Blue Lion in!

With their bodies in the spatial whirlpool, the powerful cutting caused Xue Yingfeng and the Python Tail Blue Lion to be rendered into chunks!

Blood and bits of flesh flew outwards, with some chunks reaching a few hundred meters away!

Just as Chu Mu had said, if he dind’t back off to that distance, the blood would’ve landed on him!

The last to be grinded was Xue Yingfeng’s skull, holding a face of disbelief even into death.

Knowing he would die, Xue Yingfeng charged forth to show that, unlike the other useless people, he wouldn’t get instantly killed by one technique.

Yet, the final result was still no different from the other immortal rank scum- getting instantly killed by the devil man!

……

Ocean Lord Xue Yingfeng died. Now, Divine Sect Xu Lu wasn’t far from death. On the entire blood-covered battlefield, he was the only one still healthy.

Nine Ghosts Shen’s screams still resonated in his ears still. The second before, he had just been permanently burnt to ashes by the silver devil flames, dying in utmost pain, and losing even his soul, leaving nothing left in this world.

The blended corpse of Xue Yingfeng also fell down from the sky, and it fell in chunks of blood.

“I’ve figured out your death already. Though I couldn’t make all three of you die at the same time, your cruelty will allow you to enjoy the feeling of dying alone.” Chu Mu stepped forth and slowly walked towards Xu Lu and his Light Emperor.

The Light Emperor stood in front of Xu Lu. His body became a golden shield that covered Xu Lu.

Chu Mu’s black left hand and silver right hand stabbed into this golden shield simultaneously, ripping towards each side!!

Light Emperor’s giant shield cracked and was slowly ripped apart!

This time, Chu Mu didn’t even use any techniques. Using his devil claw power alone, he started ripping the light emperor’s body apart in a frenzy!

The Light Emperor itself was made up of light energy, and didn’t actually have a form. Getting ripped apart couldn’t danger its life.

However, when using a devil claw, the ripping was no longer just a separation of its energy body. Every piece ripped off was instantly obliterated!

To an elemental life form, its energy was its body. Xu Lu stood within the Light Emperor’s protection, and his pupils continued to dilate!

At the same time, Chu Mu was only five meters from him. He was like a cruel devil that grabbed onto his Light Emperor, ripping pieces off of it casually. Every piece ripped off was burnt away by black devil flames. This was akin to ripping a living being’s limbs off one by one before tearing its organs out, leaving everything to slowly burn in a flame!

Finally, the pain from a soul pact shattering came. Xu Lu’s entire face contorted. However, more painful was the helplessness he felt as he stood behind his strongest soul pet as it was ruthlessly torn apart!

Comparing their cruelty, the devil man was thousands of times worse than Xu Lu. He could have killed them all easily and quickly, yet he insisted on killing them all one by one. This was no longer a battle- it was torture!!

The Light Emperor's body was shattered, and could no longer gather together again.

Facing such a hard to defeat enemy, Xu Lu felt despair!

However, he wanted to live on more than anyone else. He chanted incantations like crazy and summoned all his soul pets!

Four soul pets appeared almost simultaneously, and leaped towards Chu Mu under Xu Lu’s command!

Chu Mu merely glanced at these dominator rank organisms with killing intent, and these four soul pets all spontaneously combusted, becoming piles of ashes before even reaching Chu Mu.

With five souls wounded, Xu Lu could no longer summon any soul pets. The pain of his soul pacts breaking wasn’t any worse than devil flames burning.

Suddenly, Chu Mu held Xu Lu’s head with one hand!

His other hand showed a black spear. Just as Xu Lu’s fear reached a peak, the black spear passed through his heart!

“Pu!!!!!!!”

The black spear pierced Xu Lu’s heart comp[letely!

Blood seeped out. Xu Lu’s eyes stared fearfully as his eyes became bloodshot. Pain caused his mouth to widen, leaking blood!

Chu Mu grabbed the other end of the black spear and tossed it casually!

The black spear brought Xu Lu’s body straight over Ning Maner’s head and slammed into the Messiah Tree’s main branch, pinning him in the exact same spot He Cang was pinned to death!

On the Messiah Tree, Black Green He Cang had closed his eyes long ago. He died in peace, without an inkling of pain on his face because right before he died, he had seen Chu Mu come and stop Ning Maner becoming a devil, and he watched on as Chu Mu became the devil man to protect Ning Maner.

As long as she was fine, He Cang could close his eyes in peace. At least this time, he didn’t go against his promise of protection…….

And if He Cang saw his sworn enemy Xu Lu pinned on the same tree, having died in utter pain and terror, He Cang would definitely laugh, even in the underworld!

……

The entire slaughtering finally ended with Xu Lu’s regretful and painful death. The Messiah Tree was no longer the marker for a sacred land. It was full of corpses and blood now.

Black. White. Chu Mu created two different trails of flames as he slowly brought his body towards the poor young girl under the tree…..

This battle indeed was Chu Mu’s slaughter-fest. However, Chu Mu didn’t know why he felt so tired.

“Brother, White Three… Where’s White Three?” Ning Maner suddenly remembered and quickly asked.

Chu Mu walked over to Ning Maner and lightly touched her beautiful but fragile face.

“This is it.” Chu Mu glanced at the black flames on his body and said in a heavy voice.

Ning Maner was stunned. She felt a quickly disappearing wisp of White Three’s aura on Chu Mu’s black devil flames.

Suddenly, Ning Maner realized what had happened!

Her body shivered as if she was shocked!

“White Three!”

Finally, she dived into Chu Mu’s lap and started sobbing incomprehensibly…….
