Chapter 897: Chapter 402: Palace Master Mingyue / Bright Moon

Demon Abyss Forest.

In the valley, the demon serpent was rampaging wildly, and although the Sword Servant had a secret fire orb.

She was clearly aware that there might be others lurking outside, and if these two people were startled away, it would inevitably become a huge problem in the future.

After all, a Core Formation Cultivator possessing such a treasure must be of considerable value.

She naturally didn’t want to cause too much trouble for her master.

"What a fierce little wench, her methods are so sharp!"

Hiding within the valley, watching as this Tier Three Late Stage demon serpent not only failed to take down the Sword Servant but got rather battered instead, left the beautiful senior sister in hiding with a look of shock.

But immediately after, there was a sneer of jealousy and hatred.

"Haha, that pretty face of hers, I want to make this wench into an ugly refined corpse!"

Just as the beautiful senior sister revealed a vengeful smile, a chilling voice suddenly echoed.

"Who do you plan to make into a refined corpse!?"

Before the person even arrived, a terrifying pressure had already descended.

In that instant, an expression of terror appeared on the faces of both individuals, and the skinny junior brother was directly petrified, his mouth trembling and unable to utter a word.

But as for the beautiful senior sister, she screamed in horror, "Nas...Nascent Soul Cultivator!"

"Run!"

Without a moment’s hesitation, this beautiful senior sister fled backwards in an instant, but her warning wasn’t exactly out of goodwill.

She believed that she would definitely escape faster than this junior brother, but if this junior brother stayed to face death, wouldn’t that mean she alone had to face the Nascent Soul Cultivator?

Thus, if this junior brother fled with her, perhaps she could buy herself some time.

However, just as she transformed into an escape light and fled backward, she had only escaped a hundred zhang when there was a loud explosion.

A black-robed figure radiating a terrifyingly chilling aura appeared, a hand firmly gripping the beautiful Female Cultivator’s neck.

"Se...Senior, spar...spare me..."

Fear flooded the beautiful Female Cultivator’s eyes, and seeing the figure, she was scared out of her wits and lost all will to fight.

"Forgive me, sister, this junior is leaving first!"

Who would have thought that the junior brother she usually looked down upon, whom she thought had been petrified with fear, would decisively take off at the critical moment.

It turned out that this junior brother was usually pretending, wanting to please the senior sister to secure some cultivation resources.

Encountering a Nascent Soul Cultivator today, this junior brother was also gambling.

Fleeing quickly would surely bear the wrath of the Nascent Soul Cultivator, while staying put offered a sliver of hope.

"Ah! There’s another cunning one."

The overpowering presence of the Nascent Soul Cultivator from behind terrified the skinny cultivator.

"No, even if I have to burn my essence blood, I must escape!"

At the brink of life and death, his pallid and skinny cheeks suddenly turned red, obviously starting to burn his essence blood, and his speed rapidly increased.

To buy himself a chance at life, he even released his refined corpse without hesitation.

A Tier Three Early Stage refined corpse appeared, letting out a howl.

"Spare me, senior, I am but an insignificant pawn..."

As for revealing his affiliations or claiming a Nascent Soul background, he didn’t even think about it.

That sort of tactic might work against peers but was meaningless against a Nascent Soul Old Monster; they could obliterate two cultivators with a wave, without regard for your affiliations.

Thus, fleeing in terror without disclosing his background offered a slim chance.

However, in the distance, Lin Chang’an’s eyes flickered with coldness, smirking as he watched the cultivator turn into a streak of bloody light to escape.

"Want to escape?! Do you think you can?!"

In an instant, the skinny cultivator felt his world spinning, and in the next moment, saw a terrifying gigantic figure in his sea of consciousness.

This was a manifestation of the Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Divine Sense!

Under the terrifying figure, panic engulfed him, and before he could utter a word, a piercing buzzing sound erupted in his sea of consciousness.

Divine Technique·Soul-Hook Melody

Everything happening in the sea of consciousness took only an instant in the outside world.

Outside, the skinny cultivator, under the Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Divine Sense attack, was instantly rendered blank-eyed, clearly his Divine Soul heavily injured, becoming idiotic.

His body fell from the sky, but just then, a golden light appeared in the distance.

The appearance of this aura made the demon serpent in the valley feel as though encountering a nemesis, its eyes clearing instantly.

Frightened by instinct, it wanted to flee, but a Phoenix Cry Bird already echoed overhead.

Over the dim valley sky, a colossal creature with a wingspan of fifty zhang suddenly appeared.

The Phoenix Cry Bird screeched excitedly, in its mouth the Golden Core and Storage Bag of the fleeing cultivator, along with the Corpse Pill of that refined corpse.

To it, these were merely appetizers; the demon serpent in the valley, in fact, held the allure of a much more enticing meal.

"Roar!"

In terror, the demon serpent, akin to a mouse encountering a cat, frantically burrowed around the valley trying to find a crevice to hide.

However, all efforts were futile; the Phoenix Cry Bird moved with incredible speed, unfurling its wings and instantly igniting a terrifying sea of flames within the valley.

The next moment, a gigantic firebird beast’s claws pierced the demon serpent’s body, scales and blood sprayed everywhere, and though the demon serpent struggled...

Sharp beak attacks were as fast as lightning, each strike leaving a huge blood hole, in mere breaths.

The once ferocious and terrifying demon serpent was in mourning, dying in regret.

It was not that the demon serpent was weak, but rather demonized creatures were utterly restrained by the Phoenix Cry Bird, coupled with its low intelligence due to demonic qi erosion, it lost all will to fight when facing its nemesis.
