Chapter 520: Demonic Beast Form
Zhang Mu and two others had already stepped aside, Luo Wanxun was treating Zhang Mu’s injuries, and he had already taken a bottle of fourth-rank healing potion when the attention was diverted by Hachikuju, claiming it was due to his special condition.
Although the two women saw the effects of the corpse poison fading quickly, they couldn’t help but believe that Zhang Mu had just confronted the Corpse Emperor.
It is worth noting that apart from Queen Vaidehi, no one else has managed to make the Corpse Emperor suffer.
Zhang Mu felt strange inside, wondering why the corpse poison was so powerful. Even fourth-rank healing potions couldn’t make him feel better.
It seemed like something was being repaired or filled up inside his body.
But Zhang Mu didn’t think too much about it. Just like the two girls, he was focused on the battle between Hachikuju and the Corpse Emperor.
Unlike Zhang Mu, Hachikuju was directly confronting the Corpse Emperor in a fierce battle. The sounds of their punches and kicks echoed through the thick poison field, with shimmering light occasionally bursting out.
Comparing to two years ago, Hachikuju had grown significantly stronger. In terms of real power, Zhang Mu could only look up to her.
Zhang Mu was relieved. He had feared that his friends would leave him one by one while he was unconscious.
Even though that had happened, seeing Hachikuju now gave him great confidence.
Zhang Mu realized he was back in a familiar world.
The worst thing he feared hadn’t happened. He had worried that not everyone he knew would survive the past two years of challenges, leaving him facing a new human race and a fresh world.
It means he was alone again.
But who is this White Phoenix that Hachikuju and Corpse Emperor mentioned just now, why does hearing the name Yuan Rui give him a familiar feeling?
Is he also his friend?
Forget it, don’t dwell on it, it shouldn’t be too important, or else he wouldn’t have no memory of it.
At this moment, a sudden wail interrupted Zhang Mu’s thoughts, making the three of them shift their gaze all at once.
It’s Cang Yu’s voice!
Now he completely lost his refined appearance, the folding fan in his hand was riddled with holes, the fan surface torn to shreds, and the supporting bamboo ribs seemed to have broken three or four.
As for Cang Yu himself, he looked even more wretched, saying he was covered in blood wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Cang Yu, who was retreating step by step, no longer cared about his image at all, because his opponent was completely enraged. The fury of the Azure Dragon Emperor kept rising, his dragon energy decreasing with each passing moment, painstakingly accumulated, now being used under great pressure.
Suddenly, Azure Dragon Emperor stopped chasing after the fleeing Cang Yu with his head in his arms. He found something more interesting.
Zhang Mu actually came out of Corpse Emperor’s poisonous area of corpses.
He was so focused on beating up Cang Yu earlier that he didn’t notice Hachikuju joining the fight.
“Interesting, even Hachikuju showed up. Corpse Emperor beat me to it again. Shouldn’t have wasted time fighting with this useless guy. No progress at all in a month.”
He really wanted to fight Hachikuju, but every time Corpse Emperor took him away, preventing him from fully enjoying the battle.
While venting his frustration by crushing Cang Yu was satisfying, he longed for an evenly matched battle.
If Cang Yu heard this, he would be so angry he might spit blood.
Azure Dragon Emperor’s snake messenger hissed in the direction of Zhang Mu and the other two, its triangular eyes glistening with excitement at spotting its prey.
Zhang Mu felt uneasy being targeted, especially by a demon beast like a python-transformed dragon, which might actually become a dragon.
At that moment, Cang Yu, who had fled to the side, looked nervously at the Azure Dragon Emperor approaching Zhang Mu and his friends step by step, feeling both relieved and somewhat annoyed.
However, the thought of Zhang Mu, who made him extremely uncomfortable, being beaten badly filled Cang Yu’s heart with a sick sense of pleasure.
Even though he and Zhang Mu were supposed to be allies, Cang Yu found himself wishing that the Azure Dragon Emperor would continue to attack Zhang Mu, hoping to see Zhang Mu get even more embarrassed.
Ideally, just kill him!
Although Cang Yu didn’t know what curse Zhang Mu was under, he witnessed firsthand the ruthless attacks of the Azure Dragon Emperor.
Without saying a word, the attacks were relentless and disgusting, especially within Cang Yu’s Water Curtain Field, where Zhang Mu’s movements were severely restricted.
Even though illusions affected the Azure Dragon Emperor’s vision, he was aware of Zhang Mu’s ability to manipulate minds and didn’t fall for it, targeting Zhang Mu’s original position with a fierce strike.
This strike revealed a part of the Azure Dragon Emperor’s true form.
It was his Dragon Tail!
A huge shadow covered Zhang Mu and his two friends directly, as if they were about to be smashed into pieces.
Human head, dragon body!
The Azure Dragon Emperor actually partially transformed into a beast form!
The main feature of the Water Curtain Field is that it is so thick and sticky that moving hands and feet is extremely difficult.
Of course, this situation is aimed at Zhang Mu, who hasn’t even reached the third-rank peak. If someone were at the third-rank peak, their movement speed would be restrained by seventy percent, and for someone at the early stage of the fourth-rank, it would be reduced by as much as thirty percent.
This is the main reason why the Azure Dragon Emperor was able to suppress Cang Yu before. It’s not that Cang Yu didn’t want to fight back, but rather that the energy required to fight back was much higher than for passive defense.
Therefore, the Azure Dragon Emperor judged that there was at least an eighty percent chance of hitting Zhang Mu when attacking his original position with the Water Curtain Field, especially since Zhang Mu, in the early stage of the fourth-rank with a mental focus, seemed to not place much importance on physical endurance.
He was indeed correct.
It has to be said that the Azure Dragon Emperor’s combat instinct is very sharp. Zhang Mu, even as a third-rank initial stage, could hardly move at all within this Water Curtain Field.
And the Azure Dragon Emperor didn’t care about the illusions affecting his senses, he simply refused to believe them. Adjusting his memories would also take time, leaving Zhang Mu feeling a bit helpless.
Luckily, Zhang Mu was not alone.
There was Luo Wanxun!
Luo Wanxun is a powerful being, ranked fourth, and one of her abilities is based on teleportation through space. Her domain is built upon this foundation.
So, before the Azure Dragon Emperor’s iron tail attack arrived, she grabbed the stunned Qing Ling with her left hand, the immobile Zhang Mu with her right hand, and escaped the massive shadow area.
The Tree Man legion below suffered, with five of them unable to evade the added power, resulting in being crushed!
This demonic beast form is so fierce!
