Chapter 29: The Radiance Soul Beast

“You!”

Seeing Yang Dianfeng and Liu Ruyan running faster than rabbits, Wang Min’s face became extremely savage!

“Die for me!”

She roared, anger attacking her heart. In this instant, she seemed to unleash every last bit of her strength!

Rumble…

Thunderous roars echoed once more. Countless birds and beasts in the mountain forest were startled, trembling and crouching on the ground. Even the birds seemed so frightened, they lost the courage to take flight.

However, her counterattack yielded little effect. After the Nine-Tailed Fox phantom was pierced by the sword, it could no longer condense. The combat power of the tattered phantom plummeted, completely unable to inflict even a shred of damage on Lu Jin!

Meanwhile, Lu Jin’s dragon membrane defense remained a thin layer. It looked easily breakable, yet after a barrage of futile attacks, it only made one feel more despair!

Buzz…

Just then, a humming sound suddenly rang out. Wang Min actually retracted all her offensive moves, withdrew all her aura, and simply stood there, abandoning all resistance!

“I lost!”

She found it hard to accept such a reality, but at this point, she could only resign herself to fate!

Lu Jin’s longsword was already hovering above her head, seemingly ready to stab down at any moment and end her life.

However, the flying sword did not descend. It hovered in mid-air, and even its oppressive pressure dispersed.

“You aren’t killing me?”

Seeing Lu Jin’s attack stop as well, Wang Min’s expression changed, and she asked.

“What use is killing you?” Lu Jin said indifferently.

Hearing this, Wang Min snorted coldly, her eyes full of unwillingness:

“Since you aren’t killing me, you must have some request! Speak. If I can do it, I will willingly admit defeat. If you take advantage of my perilous state to make me do things I am unwilling to do, I would rather die!”

Hearing this, Lu Jin frowned slightly:

“Heh, no need to put on the airs of a chaste martyr. Besides, you aren’t qualified to negotiate terms with me!”

With those words, Wang Min was rendered completely speechless.

“Let me ask you, are you a Blood Emissary?”

Hearing these three words, Wang Min’s expression changed!

“Blood Emissary? Are you a Blood Emissary?”

When she asked back, Lu Jin clearly saw a trace of killing intent in her eyes.

“I am not.”

Lu Jin shook his head and smiled: “You, most likely, are not either.”

Wang Min suddenly gritted her teeth:

“Of course I am not!”

“Not only am I not one, but I will kill every last Blood Emissary!”

“Oh?”

“The Blood Emissaries killed my entire family! Since I don’t know exactly which one was the true culprit, I will kill all Blood Emissaries!”

Wang Min said, then looked at Lu Jin:

“Why did you ask me this question?”

Lu Jin smiled: “Just asking casually.”

Then he added: “By the way, let me remind you: your Shizun Elder Chiyu, as well as your good Junior Brother Yang Dianfeng, are both members of the Blood Emissary alliance. After all, they bear the Scarlet Moon Curse mark.”

“However, those with the Scarlet Moon Curse mark aren’t all cowards who fear death and let others control their destiny. There might also be a group of warriors willing to risk their lives to save the common people and avenge their grievances. And this group of warriors shares a common identity: Holy Hall Apostles.”

Listening to Lu Jin’s words, Wang Min frowned tightly. After being stunned for a while, she still asked:

“Why are you telling me this?”

Lu Jin said indifferently: “Because I saw the killing intent toward the Blood Emissaries in your eyes. That trace of killing intent made me decide not to kill you.”

Wang Min furrowed her willow brows but said nothing.

Although she inwardly questioned Lu Jin’s words, she also wanted to get to the bottom of it.

After all, her Shizun and Junior Brother usually showed no signs of being Blood Emissaries.

“You don’t have talent for spiritual power. So, your search for the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit probably isn’t for yourself either,” Lu Jin suddenly said again.

Wang Min frowned, then shook her head.

Indeed, she wasn’t looking for the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit for herself, but for her Shizun, Elder Chiyu.

Her Shizun told her that if she couldn’t obtain the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit, a mark would appear on her body. Once punished by that mark, her entire life would be controlled by someone else!

Thinking of this, Wang Min felt a chill down her spine!

Inferring from this, the mark Elder Chiyu threatened to punish her with must be the Scarlet Moon Curse mark capable of controlling others’ lives!

At this thought, Wang Min suddenly developed an immense interest in Lu Jin. However, due to their current relationship, she didn’t ask, but said:

“Indeed, it isn’t for myself! However, you’d better not know too much. You cannot afford to offend the Scarlet Moon Holy Land!”

Lu Jin smiled: “So what if I can’t afford to offend them? I, Lu Jin, fear nothing in heaven or earth. I haven’t even put a tiny Scarlet Moon Holy Land in my eyes!”

Hearing this, Wang Min’s view of him seemed to change instantly, but her voice remained cold:

“I wanted to kill you before, yet you tell me these things. What exactly do you want?”

Lu Jin replied calmly: “I don’t want anything. Go. If you delay any longer, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave!”

As Lu Jin said this, his gaze turned toward the horizon. A terrifying aura was rapidly approaching from there, heading straight for his location!

Hearing this, Wang Min didn’t understand his meaning, but she still turned around and walked into the depths of the mountain forest.

Just as she drilled into the dense forest, a terrifying aura descended from the sky!

It wasn’t a human, but a burly Great Demon with absolutely no Spiritual Energy fluctuation on its body!

“What is this thing? It seems to have no cultivation at all?”

Lu Jin frowned. He actually didn’t recognize this Great Demon!

“This is the Radiance Soul Beast, the Guardian Beast of the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit.”

Empress Qinglian’s voice transmitted out, and Lu Jin was startled:

“Guardian Beast of the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit? It seems to have arrived late?”

Empress Qinglian said:

“Correct. It is indeed late, because the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit has already been completely refined and absorbed by this Seat.”

Lu Jin said:

“This Guardian Beast has some ability to track us here. However, should I destroy it?”

“Destroy it? Very well. However, before it dies, it might be able to temper your spiritual willpower.”

Lu Jin heard this and before he could understand what she meant, his whole body suddenly trembled!

A wave of spiritual force fluctuation rushed directly into his mind. That invisible attack caused his expression to change instantly!

“Such strong spiritual power! I’m afraid I can’t withstand it!”

The Radiance Soul Beast suddenly launched an attack. Standing in place, the two horns atop its head erupted with waves of whirlwind-like fluctuations, that was its spiritual attack!

“Ah!”

Lu Jin was hit head-on by this spiritual force. He instantly felt intense pain in his mind, a splitting headache. He immediately unleashed Spiritual Energy for defense, but discovered it had no effect!

“Coffin of Burying Heaven, swallow for me!”

Lu Jin suddenly summoned the Coffin of Burying Heaven, wanting to test it out!

After all, this Coffin of Burying Heaven could devour all things in heaven and earth. If it could even devour spiritual power, he would be perfectly satisfied!

The moment the Coffin of Burying Heaven was summoned, that terrifying spiritual power was actually drained away in an instant!

When a strange energy fed back into his body, his expression changed abruptly!
