Chapter 764: Chapter 763: Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, Useless? No, I Can Absorb It
Just as the five cultivators’ attacks were about to land on Gu Yuexi,
Gu Yuexi moved.
She didn’t turn around.
She didn’t even look back.
She simply raised her right hand slowly and gripped the hilt of the Godslaying Ruins Sword.
And then...
She drew it lightly.
"SHING—!"
The crisp ring of a sword being drawn echoed, exceptionally clear in the quiet grotto.
Facing away from them, she swung the sword casually behind her.
The motion was an understatement, as effortless as breathing.
The next second, a golden sword light, condensed to its absolute limit, shot out.
It flew straight and true, slicing directly toward the five charging cultivators.
The sword light moved at an incredible speed.
The five men had no time to react; all they saw was a flash of gold before their eyes.
The excitement in their eyes had yet to fade before it was instantly replaced by terror.
They subconsciously looked down at their abdomens.
There, a thin line of blood slowly appeared.
It quickly spread and deepened.
"SQUELCH—"
Five wet thuds sounded, nearly overlapping.
All five men were sliced in two at the waist.
Their upper and lower bodies separated, falling heavily to the ground.
Blood instantly stained the ground red.
From the moment the five cultivators charged Gu Yuexi to the moment she cut them down with a single, casual swing, less than three seconds had passed.
It was so fast that they died without even understanding how.
The blue-robed cultivator, who was struggling to maintain the Draw the Ground as a Prison Magical Treasure, saw this, and his eyes flew wide.
"N-No... Impossible!!!"
He screamed, his voice filled with disbelief.
’Five cultivators, all at the Late Stage of the Profound Realm or higher.’
’Launching a joint sneak attack on a Late Stage Profound Realm female cultivator with her back turned.’
’They didn’t even last a single move? They were instantly killed?’
’How is this possible!’
’What kind of monster is this woman!’
’Is she really only at the Late Stage of the Profound Realm?’
’Isn’t she a Beast Tamer?’
’Shouldn’t she be relying on a powerful Beast Pet to fight?’
Meanwhile, Chu Sheng, who was trapped in the birdcage, waved a foreleg out of boredom.
"What a waste of time."
As soon as he spoke, Chu Sheng swiped a foreleg, easily tearing through the birdcage’s spatial lock.
The silver-white birdcage was instantly covered in cracks.
Then, with a "CRACK," it shattered into countless pieces, scattering across the ground, completely destroyed.
The next second, Chu Sheng’s figure appeared before the blue-robed cultivator, less than half a meter from his face.
The blue-robed cultivator’s eyes bulged even wider, his face a mask of horror.
"How is that possible!"
"This is a Divine Level Lower-Grade Magical Treasure."
"I’ve tested it myself before. It can trap someone in the Divinity Transformation Realm for at least three minutes!"
"It hasn’t even been three seconds, and you... you’re already out!"
The last shred of hope in his heart was completely extinguished, leaving only boundless terror.
"Idiot," Chu Sheng cursed scornfully.
"If I’d wanted to get out, it wouldn’t have even taken a second."
"Only you would treat this piece of junk like a treasure."
"With pathetic tricks like these, you’d best not bring them out again to make a fool of yourself."
"Oh, that’s right. You don’t have a future."
After speaking, Chu Sheng’s compound eyes lit up slightly as he once again released Amaterasua’s Eye.
Black flames ignited on the blue-robed cultivator’s body without any warning.
They were even more ferocious than the fire that had burned the bald man earlier, instantly engulfing his entire body.
"AHHH—!"
The blue-robed cultivator let out a bloodcurdling scream and thrashed wildly on the ground.
His screams grew weaker and weaker, and within a dozen seconds or so, his life breath was gone.
All seven cultivators who had tried to seize the Dragon Egg were dead. Not a single complete corpse remained.
Chu Sheng glanced over at Huo Lang and Big Y in the corner and gave a slight nod.
He said nothing, then turned, flapped his wings, and flew back to Gu Yuexi’s side.
Big Y, who had witnessed the entire fight, stood with his mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.
After a good while, he finally came to his senses and muttered in a low voice,
"Boss, didn’t you say before that this mosquito wasn’t that female cultivator’s Beast Pet?"
"And that her Beast Pet was weak, so you were the one who rejected her request to join our team."
"Uh..."
Huo Lang’s face flushed red, then went pale. He stammered for a long time before finally saying helplessly,
"So I was wrong, all right?"
"I didn’t expect her to actually be a Beast Tamer."
"And that her Beast Pet really is a mosquito."
"And a powerful one at that—Lord Mosquito."
Big Y looked at him in surprise, blinking, not quite processing it.
"Boss, so you didn’t know she was a Beast Tamer before!"
"So everything you said before was just made up?"
Huo Lang shook his head with a bitter smile.
"I went up to ask her to team up, and she just told me to get lost. She couldn’t even be bothered to speak to me."
"To save face in front of the guys, I lied and claimed she was a Beast Tamer whose Beast Pet was just a weak little mosquito."
"But I never thought my lies would actually all come true!"
"She really is a Beast Tamer, and her Beast Pet really is a mosquito."
"Except for one thing."
"This mosquito isn’t weak at all. It’s ridiculously strong—strong enough to kick a Frost Bone Dragon into the air."
As he spoke, Huo Lang slowly stood up.
He watched Chu Sheng land on Gu Yuexi’s shoulder, his eyes filled with adoration.
’It seems my decision to follow Lord Mosquito was without a doubt the best choice I’ve ever made in my life.’
’A powerful Beast Tamer, a powerful Beast Pet, and in the future, a real Divine Dragon as a mount.’
’A combination like that is enough to do whatever they want in Luoping City.’
’No, even in the entire Southern Continent, no Loose Cultivator or Sect would dare to look down on them!’
Big Y nodded vigorously, his face also filled with adoration.
"Boss, you’re right!"
"From now on, we’re Lord Mosquito’s loyal followers."
"We’ll strike wherever Lord Mosquito points! No hesitation!"
[Ding! Power of Faith +1200]
[Ding! Power of Faith +1000]
Just as he landed on Gu Yuexi’s shoulder, Chu Sheng received two system notifications.
He didn’t need to look to know they came from those two clowns, Huo Lang and Big Y.
’I can’t believe a mosquito like me is being idolized by these two spirited youths.’
Chu Sheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
’Oh well. As long as they don’t treat me like some old geezer.’
He shook his head, pushing these messy thoughts to the back of his mind.
Looking down at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye below, he asked Gu Yuexi,
"Does this thing have any other uses besides nurturing one’s physical body and Divine Soul?"
"Can we take the whole thing with us?"
Gu Yuexi shook her head.
"No."
"This kind of naturally formed Heavenly and Earthly Treasure is connected to the ley lines of the earth."
"The moment it’s separated from its original space and the ley lines, it will immediately wither and lose its effect."
"Forcibly moving it would just be a waste of effort."
"Fine," Chu Sheng said with some regret, giving up on the idea of moving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye into Ziwei Palace.
’If I can’t move it, I can’t let it go to waste either.’
"Since I can’t take it with me, I’ll just suck it dry. Can’t let whoever comes next get it for free."
He was not one to be polite.
With that, he flapped his wings, flew into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, and extended his proboscis to begin drinking greedily.
Gu Yuexi froze for a moment.
Then, she relaxed.
’If anyone else had encountered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, aside from cultivating nearby to nurture themselves and slightly enhance the strength of their Divine Soul and physical body, they would have no way of obtaining any greater benefits from it.’
’But Chu Sheng is different.’
Gu Yuexi had known him for so long. She had never seen a Heavenly and Earthly Treasure that he couldn’t absorb.
’Perhaps he really can suck out all the essence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.’
Gu Yuexi stood beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, quietly watching Chu Sheng.
As for Chu Sheng, he had already dived into the spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and was beginning to gulp down the pure energy contained within the water.
