Chapter 342: Chapter 218: Surpass, Li City Battle Invitation

Translator: 549690339

Chu Mu kept retreating while reciting incantations, summoning the Ice-Feathered Spirit in front of him.

As the coldness condensed, the icy image of the Ice-Feathered Spirit slowly emerged like falling snow. Just as the countless tendrils of the Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon flew in, the Ice-Feathered Spirit instantly completed the incantation, forming several extremely strong ice walls, one layer after another, creating five continuous Ice Walls!

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

All the steel-rope-like tendrils struck the Ice Wall fiercely. The three level-seven defensive ice walls were immediately shattered into pieces, turning into countless ice crystals that fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Chu Mu continued to recite incantations, summoning the Demon Tree Warrior in front of him.

As the Demon Tree Warrior appeared, its roots quickly intertwined, forming a root net to reinforce the remaining two ice walls.

However, even with the added defense of the Demon Tree Warrior’s roots, the last two Ice Walls could not withstand the attack of the countless tendrils. The tendrils soon broke through the range of the Ice-Feathered Spirit and Demon Tree Warrior…

Seeing the countless tendrils approaching, Chu Mu’s expression tightened. He immediately ordered the Ice-Feathered Spirit and Demon Tree Warrior to retreat while summoning Mo Ye into action.

Mo Ye, in Chu Lian’s form, leapt off Chu Mu’s shoulder. Seeing the tendrils coming in, Mo Ye made several small leaps, aimed at the tendrils with its claws, then slashed fiercely!

“Swish!”

As the Crown Flame claws passed through the tendrils, it left marks on at least dozens of them. However, only a few of the tendrils were severed by Mo Ye’s Crown Flame claws, while the rest only had shallow scratches!

Even with the claw blade at the end of the seventh level, the skill effect and Mo Ye’s power, Mo Ye’s Crown Flame claw tearing ability was definitely not something ordinary creatures could bear. This claw only managed to sever a few tendrils; the toughness of these tendrils was indeed impressive.

“This is a Water Wood Tendril. It doesn’t fear the damage of fire attributes. This wood-type soul pet is very powerful in controlling your little fox. It was unwise to summon it for battle,” the Fox Elder’s voice immediately came.

As expected, as the Fox Elder said, no matter how fast or agile Mo Ye is, it couldn’t dodge the three wood-type skill releases. Mo Ye didn’t even have time to dispel Chu Lian’s form, it was already bound by several tendrils. Even with its flames unleashed, it couldn’t burn these tendrils.

Mo Ye’s body was bound, and it was obviously angered. A surge of heat energy erupted from within, eager to dispel Chu Lian’s form and transform into the more powerful Nine-Tailed Crown Flame Fox.

“Mo Ye, come back.” Chu Mu didn’t let Mo Ye dispel Chu Lian’s form. Instead, he immediately recited an incantation, recalling Mo Ye into the Soul Pet Space.

As the Fox Elder said, even if Mo Ye had excellent evasion ability and speed, it couldn’t avoid the attacks of the Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon. After all, the fighting power of this Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon was obviously beyond peak commanders. With the advantage of stages and attributes, it would be very difficult for Mo Ye to defeat this wood-element soul pet with water attributes without the protection of moonlight.

The surrounding temperature dropped abruptly as Yu He’s Ice Witch Demon’s skill finally arrived. The chill enveloped the area, almost freezing the city gate behind Chu Mu.

After putting Mo Ye back into the Soul Pet Space, Chu Mu furrowed his eyebrows because he couldn’t figure out which soul pet to summon to deal with Yu He’s three abnormally strengthened soul pets.

The Ice-Feathered Spirit possessed Ice Crystals, while the Ice Witch Demon held an Advanced Xuan Crystal. In terms of levels, the Ice Witch Demon was a level higher than the Ice-Feathered Spirit. However, the two soul pets were evenly matched in their control of ice elements.

Originally, Mo Ye, with its fire attributes, could restrain plant-type soul pets to a certain extent. However, against plant-type soul pets, which are unfazed by ordinary flames, Mo Ye’s beast attribute and demon spirit attribute would be completely restrained – it couldn’t even approach the Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon with its tough tendrils that it couldn’t even tear open itself.

As for the Solid Rock General at the seventh rank third stage, Chu Mu didn’t know how to deal with it. Even if he summoned Zhan Ye, he wasn’t sure whether Zhan Ye, with only six ranks, would be instantly killed by this terrifyingly strong Solid Rock General.

“Retreat to the city. You can’t defeat him without summoning the White Nightmare Demon. However, you can’t summon the White Nightmare Demon, as Soul Hall members cannot sign soul contracts with such evil soul pets,” the Fox Elder advised Chu Mu.

Chu Mu also realized that it would be difficult to compete against Yu He without summoning the White Nightmare Demon. He decisively retreated into the city, standing beside the city gate guards, with no intention of fighting Yu He.

Seeing Chu Mu retreat, a cold sneer appeared on Yu He’s face. He strode past his three soul pets, stood twenty meters away from Chu Mu, and stared at Chu Mu arrogantly and mockingly: “During our time in Soul Hall, I simply didn’t want to make a move. You think your soul pets can hurt me?”

Chu Mu stood there, watching Yu He without engaging in meaningless talk. He stood quietly, waiting for the group of Soul Hall members to come over.

“Young Master… are you… are you alright?” Palace Master Tang approached Chu Mu quickly, his voice trembling as he asked.

Lord Tang also kept an eye out, knowing that after Yu He would be released, he would definitely cause trouble for Chu Mu. Therefore, he specifically sent someone to follow Yu He.

As expected, Yu He went after Chu Mu and deliberately caused trouble outside the city gates. Upon receiving the news, Lord Tang hurried to the scene to stop the fight.

“Who allowed you to release him?” Chu Mu asked Lord Tang indifferently.

“This… this is not an order issued by me, but a command given by an elder.” Lord Tang said, looking embarrassed.

“So you just let him go? What are the Seven Great Hall Masters doing?” The Fox Elder immediately expressed his discontent to Lord Tang.

“No, it’s not that he was released. It was just a temporary freedom. Within two months, he must go to Li City for the trial of the deaths of Yu Lang and Feng Ya. These two months, he is temporarily granted freedom.” Lord Tang said.

Chu Mu’s eyes became colder. He glanced at Yu He, who had a complacent smile on his face, and was secretly surprised by Yu He’s ability to mobilize a Soul Hall elder to plead for him and avoid house arrest to attend the trial in Li City on his own.

“Chu Chen, whether you are the Young Master of the Soul Hall or not, I remember the slap you gave me a few days ago very well. In addition, I will not let your slander against me go easily. So today, I challenge you!”

“The time is two months from now, and the place is Li City. You can refuse, but you must endure a slap from me and admit that you slandered me!”

As Yu He spoke, he took another few steps closer to Chu Mu and stared at Chu Mu with his eyes fixed on him.

Yu He’s actions were clearly meant to be seen by everyone, showing a completely indignant look of someone wronged.

Chu Mu wouldn’t accept challenges from anyone casually, but since this guy had tortured Ye Wansheng so badly, Chu Mu couldn’t stand it.

Besides, for Chu Mu, young experts like Yu He were the very targets he needed to surpass. This time Chu Mu genuinely wanted a truly challenging battle!

“Before you are convicted of murder by the Soul Hall, I, Chu Chen, will fulfill this small wish of yours.” Chu Mu said indifferently.

“Hmph, if you want to add a charge, you won’t lack excuses. I, Yu He, despise people like you who use despicable means to eliminate young warriors. The Soul Hall and the Elemental Gate will eventually give me justice.” Yu He looked righteously indignant, and to those who heard him, it really seemed like Yu He was wronged.

Chu Mu calmly watched Yu He leave, knowing that this time he had encountered an opponent who was both intelligent and powerful.

Sharpening, challenging, and training – if he didn’t climb up by stepping on these outstanding young experts, how could he ever defeat people of Princess Jinrou and Lu Shanli’s caliber? When could he truly enter the ranks of the strong!

During his battle with Princess Jinrou, Chu Mu sensed that Princess Jinrou didn’t use her full strength at all. If it weren’t for Moonlight’s power to boost Mo Ye’s strength and Resentment Condensation’s ability to increase the White Nightmare Demon’s power, Princess Jinrou might have defeated all of Chu Mu’s soul pets with just her Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon and White Nightmare Demon…

Chu Mu knew that there was still a considerable gap between him and the real young experts. Yu He’s strength was clearly much stronger than those so-called top-ranked young experts Chu Mu had encountered in the Western World. This was also a challenge and opportunity for Chu Mu to surpass them. Defeating Yu He meant getting closer to the highest level of the young generation.

“Young Master, your little fox was clearly restrained by that Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon, and you can’t summon the White Nightmare Demon either. Accepting his challenge like this is not a good idea. The soul pets he summoned have very strong combat power.” Fox Elder said.

“It’s fine, even if I lose, it doesn’t matter. He wouldn’t dare to kill me in that situation.” Chu Mu said.

Actually, in this battle with Yu He, Chu Mu didn’t plan to use the White Nightmare Demon or Mo Ye to fight.

Chu Mu now had his own plan. Considering that he would have more and more contact with the Soul Hall or other forces in the future, in order not to reveal Mo Ye’s chained mutation, Chu Mu decided to appear as Chu Chen, the young master of the Soul Hall, when dealing with the Soul Hall or other forces. He wouldn’t summon the White Nightmare Demon during the fights, and mainly rely on Mo Ye in Chu Lian’s state, the Ice Feathered Spirit, Zhan Ye and the Demon Tree Warrior to fight.

When Chu Mu is himself or with no other forces around, Chu Mu would summon the White Nightmare Demon, Mo Ye as the Nine-tailed Crown Flame Fox, the Ghost Dome King, the Night Thunder Dream Beast, and so on…

This approach is a bit like trying to hide fire with paper, but with dual identities, at least his secret wouldn’t be easily exposed to others.
