Chapter 1278 1142 Emperor-level Demon Spirit

Chapter 1278: Chapter 1142: Emperor-level Demon Spirit Sightings! Chapter 1278: Chapter 1142: Emperor-level Demon Spirit Sightings! Wen City is a sixth-level Territory City, second only to Cloud Realm’s Territory City in size. This time, numerous experts from Demon Spirit Wencheng conducted a sweeping search throughout this wetland and the mountain range.

At the moment, the two strong ones engaged in battle with Jia Heng and Li Qin were well-known hunters from Wen City, referred to as the Guangtong Brothers. These two often roamed the Guangtong Mysterious Realm and were highly familiar with everything in it, which is why they were called by such a title by the Dominator-level powerhouses.

The Guangtong Brothers had been pursuing this Monarch-level Demon Spirit, only to unexpectedly have it snatched away by Jia Heng and Li Qin who were passing by.

Tracking a Demon Spirit, whose whereabouts are often elusive, does rely somewhat on luck for capture. However, how could the Guangtong Brothers just let others take the prey they had been chasing?

To their delight, the two men who had suddenly intervened were clearly new to the Dominator rank and lacked both strength and combat experience compared to the seasoned Soul Pet Masters like them, who had spent a long time training in the wilderness.

“It seems, not only will we get a Monarch-level Demon Spirit, but we’ll also collect two heads!” The Guangtong Brothers revealed a cruel smile, baring their teeth.

Killing for profit was something they had done often. Although Divine Sect always explicitly prohibited unnecessary killing, in the absence of witnesses and under the temptation of huge profits, few adhered to those rules in the wilds.

The bloodthirsty Demon Spirit Dominator stared fiercely at Jia Heng’s Moon God Demon Steed. As a fellow Dominator-level demon spirit, the Guangtong Brothers’ Dominator had much stronger offensive capabilities than the Moon God Demon Steed; it was like a tender young horse meeting a ferocious wolf, totally incapable of anything but getting beaten.

The lethal cold light flickered, and a fatal blow was about to graze the Moon God Demon Steed. Jia Heng’s face turned pale—he had not anticipated that his rashness would cost him his life here!

Dodging was no longer an option, and with his mind going blank, a shadowy blue figure suddenly and eerily appeared in front of him.

“Ssssh!”

The fatal cold light and the Sharp Claw passed over, striking the shadowy blue body and emitting a screeching noise like metal scraping.

A shallow scratch appeared on the dragon scales of the shadowy blue figure, and the power of the Demon Spirit was instantly dissolved. Jia Heng, realizing that someone had timely arrived to save his life, felt a surge of ecstatic relief from having narrowly escaped death.

He looked up, wanting to know who had intervened to save him. However, the smile on his face grew strange swiftly, as if he could never have imagined that this person would be his savior.

“Aooooh!”

The Little Hiding Dragon was shrouded in spectral spirits; countless battle souls formed a mighty Spectral Power that began to concentrate at the dragon’s throat.

“Puh!”

Enshrouded in Dragon Light along with the Spectral Power, the Little Hiding Dragon spewed it towards the Guangtong Brothers’ Dominator level spirit pet. Even though it reacted, the range of the Dragon Light still struck its body.

The Dominator let out a pitiful scream as the Dragon Light smashed it from the sky and sent it crashing into the mountain, landing at the foot of a distant peak.

“You… who are you?” The Guangtong Brothers’ expressions changed as they stared intensely at Chu Mu, who had just unleashed the strength of a Low-grade Master level creature from the Dragon Race.

“Scram!” Chu Mu had no desire to waste time with them and spat out this single, simple word.

The Guangtong Brothers swept a resentful glance at Chu Mu and Jia Heng behind him. Facing a Low-grade Master of the Dragon Race, they dared not create further trouble and fled unwillingly.

When Jia Heng and Li Qin saw the Guangtong Brothers fleeing in panic, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had both sensed the approach of death, and if not for Chu Mu’s timely intervention, they might have already been lying in a pool of blood.

“Brother Chu’s arrival is truly timely,” said Li Qin, with a very friendly and enthusiastic demeanor, his face filled with grateful smiles.

As for pleasantry, Chu Mu never understood such things. His gaze fell upon Jia Heng as he said indifferently, “I’ve saved your life, now hand over the Ring.”

The expressions on Jia Heng’s and Li Qin’s faces stiffened, and Jia Heng quickly said, “We both work for Lord Li. The main credit for this Demon Spirit naturally belongs to Brother Chu. Whether it’s with me or with Brother Chu, it’s all the same.”

“Want to die another time?” Chu Mu’s gaze chilled as his tone carried a hint of murderous intent!

The transformation in Chu Mu was swift—whether it was his intimidating gaze or the strange aura emanating from his body, both sent shivers down Jia Heng’s and Li Qin’s spines!

This guy was far more fearsome than the Guangtong Brothers!

Both of them realized almost instantly that this man who had saved them was quite the cold-blooded killer. Having already felt the threat of death once, how could they dare to disobey?

“Straight away, straight away… Brother Chu, let’s talk this over nicely,” stammered Jia Heng, not daring to delay as he took off the Ring and handed it directly to Chu Mu.

Li Qin’s face turned the color of liver—no matter how furious he was inside, he dared not speak out. After all, from the beginning, they had seen Chu Mu summon a Low-grade Dominator-level Phoenix, and now he was riding a Low-grade Dominator-level Dragon Race creature—this man’s strength was equal to several Guangtong Brothers combined!

After Chu Mu received the Soul Capture Ring, he transferred the Demon Spirit to his own Soul Capture Ring, then generously threw the now-empty Soul Capture Ring back to Jia Heng.

Jia Heng took back the ring with a sullen face, at a loss for whether to thank Chu Mu for returning it to him.

“The two of you had better leave this place, I won’t save you a second time,” Chu Mu said, and then turned around with the Little Hiding Dragon and left.

Jia Heng and Li Qin exchanged glances, preparing in their hearts that after returning to Wang City, they would definitely report the situation to Lord Li. Chu Mu was simply too arrogant, too dismissive of others. Not only did he leave them behind, but he even dared to snatch things from his own people!

Chu Mu didn’t have a good impression of these two either. Saving them was merely to give Lord Li some face. As for taking their things, that was a matter of course; the items were theirs when in their possession, but they were truly his own when in his hands!

Chu Mu flew over several majestic mountains and was still greeted by chaos. Everywhere, there were groups of people scattering in search of traces of demon spirits, some fighting fiercely over captured spirits, and some like Chu Mu wandering by chance.

…

Below in a mountain ravine, the Guangtong Brothers were treating their demon spirits’ injuries.

Even just being grazed by the edge of the Dragon Light, their Monarch-level master spirits were seriously injured. The Guangtong Brothers were also gnashing their teeth in secret – how could there be a low-grade Master-level powerhouse suddenly appearing? As far as they remembered, Wang City didn’t have such a young expert.

“It’s that guy; he even dares to come here!” The Guangtong Brothers said through clenched teeth as they stared at the figure sweeping across the sky.

“Let’s go, report to Sir Yong,” they said.

The Guangtong Brothers, who had come with another team from Wen City, knew that this team consisted of many top experts from the city, each of them possessing a low-grade Master-level soul pet. The two brothers considered themselves merely to be support.

The Guangtong Brothers dared not approach Chu Mu. After waiting for him to leave, and determining his direction, they immediately flew towards the top of a certain mountain range.

Atop the towering, lofty mountains, four soul pet masters stood on the edge of the mountaintop, their gazes overlooking the somewhat noisy range, with pride in their eyes as if waiting for something’s emergence.

“We should have a bountiful haul this time!” Yong Chong, standing in the center, let a hint of a smile flash in his eyes.

Yong Chong was sent here by the Wen City Lord to lead the experts into the Guangtong Lost Realm to capture demon spirits. Of the primary group of four, including himself, there were three others beside him.

These three were all of a strength comparable to a Boundary General. Though they were very interested in Monarch-level demon spirits, they knew there must be Emperor-level spirits in these mountains. Their delay in taking action was specifically to await the appearance of an Emperor-level spirit.

“Yeah, we already have one Emperor-level spirit. One is enough to make this trip worthwhile. Commander Wu Zhenjiang’s men probably haven’t secured one yet, right?” said Lin Pengfeng, who was next to Yong Chong.

Lin Pengfeng was the second-strongest among the four, and it was his Ghost who had initially discovered and successfully captured the Emperor-level spirit by employing “Demon Spirit Imprisonment”.

The whereabouts of Monarch-level demon spirits were unpredictable, and the capture of Emperor-level spirits was even more challenging, so luck played a crucial part in securing the real deal.

In this excursion to capture demon spirits, their true competition was with the subordinates of Commander Wu Zhenjiang of Wu Zhen. Wu Chi, the close confidant of Wu Zhen, whose strength was no less than Yong Chong’s, had the group not arrived early and discreetly secured an Emperor-level spirit, they would have surely fought fiercely over it.

“The Guangtong Brothers are back; they must have secured that Monarch-level spirit, right?” Lin Pengfeng glanced down the mountain and spoke.

Yong Chong watched the two subordinates returning with a look of resentment and reluctance, and roughly guessed the outcome.

“Failed?” asked Yong Chong indifferently.

The Guangtong Brothers were somewhat intimidated by Yong Chong, and before they could even speak, Yong Chong had guessed it, which caused them to kneel down in panic.

“We had it, but someone from Wang City suddenly appeared, and we are no match for him,” they recounted the incident.

“Wang City? Does Wang City have such a young expert?” Yong Chong looked at the other three, who also shook their heads, indicating they hadn’t heard of any young powerhouse controlling Dragon Race in Wang City.

As they were discussing, suddenly a woman riding a Giant Cloud Bird landed steadily in front of them from the sky.

“It’s appeared in the west,” the woman stated in a calm tone.

All four showed delight at once, with Yong Chong taking the lead, “Lead the way!”

The Guangtong Brothers hadn’t yet realized what was happening, only to see the four powerhouses already following the woman westward on their soul pets.

“Did that kid get away with the Monarch-level spirit?” The Guangtong Brothers looked at each other, but then they realized something!

Could it be, could it be that an Emperor-level spirit has appeared!
