Chapter 79: Kill

“EXPLODE!!”

Lou Mu Yan’s cold voice fell and one of the characters on the ribbon-like Talisman Incantation that wound around the Ice Krait Serpent King leapt out and transformed into a transparent cyan dragon with dense Spiritual Energy that whistled out and plunged directly into the Ice Krait Serpent King’s heart.

The huge mouth of the Ice Krait Serpent King halted above Mo Yan’s head and its eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
Suddenly, its body limped, and it collapsed onto the ice-cold floor heavily.

It curled into a ball as if it was in extreme pain.
But it wasn’t over.
If one listened carefully, there was actually a muffled sound that resounded from within the Ice Krait Serpent’s body, like firecrackers that had been lit.

[HISS HISS!!] The Ice Krait Serpent King moved in pain and hovered above the giant ice pillar, hitting the icicle continuously from head to tail.

Its internal organs were slowly being corroded by the Spiritual Energy talisman dragon, which then exploded in its body.
Its strong impacts and struggles made the originally stable cave be on the verse of collapse as pieces of ice and rock fell.

Lou Mu Yan narrowed her eyes, stretched out two fingers and drew in the air again.
A flash of white Spiritual Energy once again penetrated into the body of the Ice Krait Serpent’s body, then it finally fell heavily from the giant pillar and hit the ground again.

When the dragon talisman burrowed itself into the yao’fu of the Ice Krait Serpent King and tore the serpent’s Demonic Soul out from its body, the Ice Krait Serpent King’s body completely stopped struggling and it laid quietly on the ground without a single breath left in it.

Lou Mu Yan waved her hand and the half-cun-long1 transparent talisman dragon cheerfully flew over, holding the Ice Krait Serpent King’s Demonic Soul, and landed on her hand.

She smiled softly, then the talisman dragon disappeared into her body, while the Demonic Soul was trapped within a new Spiritual Talisman that she drew.

“This is useful to you?” Lou Mu Yan threw the transparent ball that imprisoned the Ice Krait Serpent King’s Demonic Soul to Mo Yan.

Mo Yan opened his mouth and swallowed the Demonic Soul of the Ice Krait Serpent.
The Spiritual Talisman drawn by Lou Mu Yan was also broken in his mouth.

Lou Mu Yan took a few steps forward and nodded with satisfaction as she looked at the intact Ice Krait Serpent King corpse.
It would be more appropriate for this corpse to be taken back to Huo Xiao to be refined into a few Magic Tools that she’d gift to her family.

Although the corpse of the Flame Unicorn Beast was Tier 6, but no one except her in the Lou Clan had comprehended the fire Elemental Energy attribute, so the Magic Tools refined from the Flame Unicorn Beast’s scales weren’t suitable for them.

She took out a dagger from her interspatial ring and directly inserted it into the Ice Krait Serpent’s head.
Then she channelled her Elemental Energy to crack it open, and with a grab, two blue Crystal Cores, one deep, one light, landed in her hand.

“Who expected that the talent of the Ice Krait Serpent King wasn’t that bad.
It actually condensed two Crystal Cores of different attributes.
Luckily it only recently advanced to Tier 5 Demonic Beast, otherwise we would have to use some of our trump cards to kill it today.” Lou Mu Yan played with the Crystal Core in her hand and raised an eyebrow at Mo Yan.

Mo Yan didn’t even glance at the corpse on the ground and jumped directly onto Lou Mu Yan’s shoulder.
His voice was cold as usual: “You still have some trump cards?”

He also went to watch the Academy’s Grand Competition that Lou Mu Yan participated in last time.
Her strength was unexpected, and her combat power was extraordinary.
It truly did give him a little surprise that day.

But he didn’t expect that he still underestimated this woman.
Today, he hadn’t even seen the methods that Lou Mu Yan used to kill the Ice Krait Serpent King before, even when he was at the peak of his strength.
With such methods, it would even make him cautious and fearful if they weren’t in a contractual relationship.

But when he was already shocked by it, Lou Mu Yan actually told him that she still had more trump cards.
It truly overthrew all that he knew.

Lou Mu Yan’s neat and clean combat mode, and how her proficiency wasn’t even inferior to when he was at his peak, was this really a Clan’s trash? How could a Great Sword Master cultivation base woman understand so much? Why does a sixteen-year-old young woman have such rich combat experience and methods?

She was like a cloud of mist, and every bit that she displayed wasn’t her true self, as if she was looming within layers upon layers of thin veils, making people want to explore and understand even deeper.

Lou Mu Yan utilised her Mental Energy and put the entire corpse of the Ice Krait Serpent King into her interspatial ring.
She stretched out her hand to poke Mo Yan’s back and chuckled softly, saying: “This Glacial Mountain Range is very dangerous, maybe you’ll see my trump cards soon.”

Mo Yan’s eyes that were as deep and boundless as the sea fluctuated like a whirlpool.
Although, between him and Lou Mu Yan, they were under the Contract of Equals, but their mutual understanding and trust had not yet reached the point where they’d rely on and support each other entirely.

He stopped inquiring, just stared down at the two Crystal Cores in Lou Mu Yan’s hand and said: “Give me the two Crystal Cores for refining.”

“You want to refine it directly?” Lou Mu Yan glanced around the serpent cave as if looking for something.

“How can I absorb it without refining it directly? As long as I refine these two Crystal Cores, plus the Demonic Soul I just swallowed, I’ll soon be able to break through to Tier 5 strength.”

“When I have time, I’ll use these Crystal Cores to refine a cauldron of pills for you.
The effect’s much better than refining it directly!”

“Sure!” Mo Yan was still quite convinced by Lou Mu Yan’s Alchemy skills.
Seeing that Lou Mu Yan still wasn’t leaving, he looked towards the corner of the cave and asked incomprehensibly: “What’re you looking for?”

“Of course I’m looking for the treasure collected by the Ice Krait Serpent King.
It’s been in this Glacial Mountain Range for so many years, it’s impossible for it to not have collected the Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Items here.” Lou Mu Yan used the whip to remove an ice stone as she explained to Mo Yan.

Mo Yan couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eyes—this woman really didn’t let go of anything.
Then he said jokingly: “I’m the best at finding Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Items.”

When Lou Mu Yan saw that there was nothing under the removed ice stone, she was a little disappointed, but then she suddenly heard Mo Yan’s words and couldn’t help but knock her head lightly with her knuckle, “That’s right! How could I have forgotten you still have that talent.”

Seeing Mo Yan lying aloofly on her shoulder, she grabbed him and tossed him out, “Don’t just know how to enjoy and not do work, go find the treasure.”

Mo Yan turned his head and headed towards the left side of the cave in a bad mood.
He had lived for so long, and no one had dared to toss him.
Lou Mu Yan really was the first person.

But he didn’t dislike such actions and even a sense of the desire to coddle someone, that had never appeared before, rose in his heart.
He really was being infected by this black-bellied woman!

A Spirit Devourer’s sensitivity to Spiritual Herbs were hundreds of times stronger than Fire Cloud Minks.
He only casually sniffed around and already confirmed the location of the Ice Krait Serpent’s treasure.
He stood atop an ice stone that wasn’t quite large nor small and said: “The things are placed beneath this ice stone, come get it yourself.”

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes lit up and her stunning little face displayed a gleeful smile.
After Mo Yan leapt onto her shoulder again, she waved her whip and smashed the ice stone in half.
Sure enough, beneath the stone, she discovered a large hole.

She raised the corners of her lips, plunged the whip into the hole skilfully, and with a tug, the treasures that the Ice Krait Serpent King had prized over the years all entered her interspatial ring.

However, due to the time constraints, she didn’t investigate it immediately, but instead used her Silk-Mist Steps and leapt towards the entrance.
After exiting the cave’s entrance, she also used her Elemental Energy to strike down the ice mountain’s loose gravel to seal the entrance.

After completing all this, she swiftly headed towards the Trial teams.
Now that the Ice Krait Serpent King was dead, the commands that controlled the group of serpents would also disappear.

With the serpents having no leader, after her eldest brother and the rest used the powder she gave, she believed that the battle above them would almost be over too.
She had to return among them before the battle was over.
