Volume 5, Chapter 40 – Time to Settle Accounts from Three Years (Thousand Years) Ago

—”Corrupted Beasts? Why are they here?”— Bai Xingwu muttered to herself in a strange language.

However, this unfamiliar language didn’t capture the attention of Bai Bin, Mu Yun, and the others.

After all, Compared to this unknown language, they were obviously more concerned about the strange behavior of the dozen or so Blood Demon Beasts.

They had thought that the Blood Demon Beasts were just toying with their prey before tearing it apart, but after waiting for dozens of seconds, the Blood Demon Beasts still hadn’t launched an attack. Several of them had even snuggled up to the black-haired girl, seemingly seeking her affection??

In short… The Blood Demon Beasts showed no hostility whatsoever toward Bai Xingwu.

“This…” Clenching his fists, Bai Bin glared viciously at Mu Yun nearby. “Mu Yun!! Explain to me what the hell is going on?!!”

“This, this… I, I don’t know either!” Mu Yun shook his head with a confused and solemn expression.

Clearly, Mu Yun himself was also completely bewildered by the situation before him. In his memory, Blood Demon Beasts were terrifying, powerful, and bloodthirsty monsters that existed within the seals of ancient ruins. They had no rationality to speak of and only knew how to kill every living thing in their sight.

Whether those living things were elderly, children, or women, Blood Demon Beasts would show no mercy. In the thousand-year historical records of the Mu family, there had never been any mention of Blood Demon Beasts being friendly with humans.

To barely control these monsters, the Mu family had gone through tremendous difficulties, invested vast resources, and had only managed to create collars that could temporarily suppress the Blood Demon Beasts… and they weren’t even very stable. Yet this girl called Bai Xingwu? She was actually interacting with Blood Demon Beasts as if they were dogs…

What a joke?! How was this possible?

Mu Yun was also desperately wanting to know the answer.

Therefore, Ignoring Bai Bin’s questioning, Mu Yun was the first to shout at Bai Xingwu: “What did you do?!! Why aren’t those Blood Demon Beasts attacking you?!”

However, The black-haired girl clearly had no intention of answering Mu Yun. While thoughtfully touching the exposed brain of a Blood Demon Beast with her finger, she casually smiled and replied: —”Who… knows?”—

“You…” Mu Yun clenched his fists in displeasure.

Won’t talk, huh? No matter… When you fall into my hands later, I have ten thousand ways to make you talk!

“Capture her.” Mu Yun said coldly.

Although the Blood Demon Beasts were terrifying, those Mu Yun had brought today were all elites of the Mu family, while these Blood Demon Beasts were the weakest ones captured from the ruins.

Therefore, Mu Yun wasn’t very wary of the dozen or so Blood Demon Beasts around Bai Xingwu.

With Mu Yun’s order, Dozens of Mu family guards suddenly released the spiritual power within their bodies and rushed toward the black-haired girl.

The sound of steel boots thundered, guns and blades flashed in the cold light, and killing intent suddenly spread. Pressure from all directions violently assaulted the black-haired girl.

However, Faced with the encirclement of the Mu family members, the black-haired girl remained expressionless, not even glancing at them.

“Then I’ll… try a little test.” Bai Xingwu leisurely raised one hand, and her slender fingers elegantly snapped.

—”Pia~”— The crisp sound echoed in the space.

Following that, As cyan light rippled at the girl’s fingertips, the Blood Demon Beasts surrounding her suddenly violently shook.

At this moment, their bodies seemed to be instantly infused with some kind of power. The grotesque flesh on their surface swelled and surged, their volume rapidly expanding several times, and their entire bodies erupted with terrifying blood-colored radiance.

??!! What, What the hell is this?!

The next instant, under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone, the Blood Demon Beasts, which had originally been the size of brown bears, suddenly transformed to the height of a one-story building.

They became even more ferocious and terrifying overall. The sheer intensity they emitted directly frightened Bai Bin into repeatedly stepping backward.

“Roar—!” Upon noticing the group of humans charging toward the black-haired girl, dozens of Blood Demon Beasts all revealed brutal and angry expressions.

A deep and piercing roar suddenly sounded!

Then, surrounded by blood light, the Blood Demon Beasts suddenly pounced forward, opening their fangs and giant claws, directly meeting the guards. Blades and bullets sparked on their hardened flesh, yet could barely pierce even an inch of skin. In an instant, more than a dozen guards were grabbed by the Blood Demon Beasts with absolute power, their bones making piercing crisp sounds under heavy compression, turning into bloody pulps of corpses in the blink of an eye.

Fresh blood splashed out, staining the ground red and pushing the bloody smell in the air to the extreme.

In the distance, the guards originally responsible for cover saw this and raised their guns in terror to shoot. The dense gunfire was deafening, but the bullets seemed to have lost their power and couldn’t stop the Blood Demon Beasts’ assault.

The next moment, they roared and charged, tearing and ripping apart one guard after another, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

In just a short while, the factory was filled with the intertwined sounds of screams and roars, and the air was permeated with a bloody smell so strong it made one suffocate.

The entire space had completely transformed into a hell of slaughter…

In no time at all, The Mu family guards were almost completely massacred by the Blood Demon Beasts, with miserable wails endlessly echoing.

And the black-haired girl, as if nothing had happened, leisurely enjoyed everything before her.

“Able to easily absorb my power… without being backlashed… these really are Corrupted Beasts.” The black-haired girl raised her hand to pinch her chin and muttered to herself.

In her dark red pupils, a trace of confusion seeped out.

“Hey, these little ones, where did you get them from?” The girl asked.

As she inquired, Bai Xingwu’s head suddenly turned one hundred and eighty degrees, abruptly twisting to look behind her. She looked at that figure holding a long knife, who was about to launch a sneak attack.

The figure was none other than Mu Yun, one of the powerholders of the Mu family.

The moment the girl turned her head, Mu Yun’s expression instantly changed drastically, his eyes contracting.

What?!! How did she detect me?!

The man was greatly shocked. It should be noted that he was the best in the Mu family at using the concealment footwork “Cloud Vertical Step”… even experts at the peak of Divine Martial Realm would find it difficult to detect his trail. But this Bai Xingwu?? Also, what was with her head?!!

This wasn’t a movement that humans could achieve!

Of course, Mu Yun had no time to think now.

As the saying goes, an arrow nocked must be released. The mutation of that group of Blood Demon Beasts was clearly related to Bai Xingwu!

Although he didn’t know how she had done it, in Mu Yun’s view… only by stopping her could he stop those Blood Demon Beasts!! Otherwise… they would eventually be wiped out by those monsters.

Thinking of this, Mu Yun gritted his teeth and swung his knife toward Bai Xingwu’s chest.

However, Just as he was swinging his knife, a trace of ice-blue cold light suddenly flashed in the black-haired girl’s eyes.

The next moment, Two black thorns unexpectedly broke out from the ground!

One directly knocked the blade from Mu Yun’s hand, while the other directly penetrated Mu Yun’s abdomen, shattering the spiritual power core he had cultivated for many years hidden in his abdomen!! In an instant, Mu Yun completely lost his fighting ability. Intense pain suddenly struck Mu Yun’s brain, directly causing him to let out hysterical painful wails.

“Aaaaaaah!!!”

Before he could cry out much, the black-haired girl’s slender arm suddenly stretched out, violently grabbing Mu Yun’s neck and lifting him high.

The pain in his abdomen and the suffocation in his neck directly made Mu Yun’s face contorted and twisted.

“Let, let me go…” Mu Yun struggled, twisting his body.

To this, The black-haired girl tilted her head, saying somewhat unhappily: “I was asking you a question… instead of answering, you attack me? How rude.”

“You… what exactly… are you?” While struggling, Mu Yun painfully questioned, “You’re… not, not Bai Xingwu… you’re not human… what exactly are, are you?”

“Me?” Hearing this, the black-haired girl raised her eyebrows, and her expression became extremely cold at that moment.

—”I am this child’s father.”—
