Volume 5, Chapter 41 – Bai Bin’s Collapse and Frantic Plea for Help

“Father?? What… what the hell?”

Mu Yun muttered in bewilderment.

In response, the black-haired girl had no intention of explaining, instead thoughtfully glancing toward the factory entrance from the corner of her eye.

Almost at the same moment, a voice filled with murderous intent quietly came from outside the factory.

—”Lord Mu Yun!! We’ve come to support you!!”—

With those words, dozens of Mu family members radiating powerful spiritual energy and wielding various formidable magical weapons burst through the factory gates and nearby broken windows. Compared to the Mu family guards who had been fighting the Blood Demon Beasts earlier, these newcomers were clearly much stronger.

As one of Hualong Nation’s four great families, the Mu family naturally possessed considerable foundation.

The moment these people charged into the factory, they unleashed all their spiritual power and rushed toward the Blood Demon Beasts and the black-haired girl who was gripping Mu Yun’s throat.

Obviously, after seeing that the black-haired girl could strengthen the Blood Demon Beasts, Mu Yun had urgently sent out a distress signal, calling for the Mu family personal guards stationed at the foot of the mountain to come provide support.

Upon seeing the reinforcements arrive, the pained expression on Mu Yun’s face suddenly revealed joy.

“Quick… kill this woman!!!”

Mu Yun shouted hysterically.

However, facing these suddenly attacking Mu family personal guards, the black-haired girl still showed no signs of panic. Instead, while gripping Mu Yun’s throat, she playfully tilted her head.

—”You’re quite clever, quick to react… That’s right, I’m not Bai Xingwu… Similarly, the current me can no longer be considered human either. Huh~… It’s been a long time since I used that form… I’ll use it occasionally.”—

“What… what are you saying?”

Looking at the black-haired girl muttering to herself, Mu Yun’s heart suddenly filled with an intense sense of foreboding.

Unfortunately, in the next instant, Mu Yun’s sense of foreboding became reality.

As the black-haired girl smiled and raised her head, ice-blue light suddenly burst forth from her body like countless cold flames surrounding her, making her figure appear eerie and mysterious.

“This… this is?!”

Then, under Mu Yun’s horrified gaze, that radiance seemed to ignite her flesh and blood. The girl’s beautiful features collapsed in violent distortion, bones and flesh writhing and twisting, transforming into a terrifying sight.

When the light fully bloomed, countless blood-colored pupils appeared without warning throughout the factory, with black thorns dancing wildly in the air.

The girl’s figure had already transformed into a demon wreathed in blazing flames—blood-red and pitch-black fire consumed her limbs and wings, her grotesque face bearing an uncanny terror, like a judge from hell.

“Fire?!! Fire!! Fire!!!!”

Staring fixedly at the demon gripping him, seemingly the incarnation of blazing fire itself, Mu Yun’s mind instantly collapsed.

Having nearly been consumed alive by flames as a child, Mu Yun harbored an indescribable fear of fire.

All those fears were triggered in this instant.

In this moment, he broke out in cold sweat, his face extremely contorted, legs going weak, yet desperately struggling to escape the control of the monster before him, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.

Almost the moment the girl transformed into a demon, the accompanying terrifying aura spread out like a thunderclap, like an invisible giant net enveloping the entire mountain area.

The air suddenly became heavy and suffocating, as if even the wind had been suppressed, leaving only soul-trembling low moans between heaven and earth.

Ice-blue curse power spread out accordingly, like raging waves, instantly sweeping toward the surrounding Mu family guards.

That power carried an aura of corruption and destruction, directly rushing into their bodies and souls. The guards only felt their chests tighten, their throats letting out torn screams, faces changing dramatically, blood vessels bulging grotesquely. In an instant, excruciating pain spread throughout their bodies. They fell to the ground one after another, bodies convulsing incessantly. Their agonized howls gradually weakened, and moments later, these Mu family attendants had become rigid corpses lying across pools of blood.

Eyes wide with disbelief.

Mu Yun, who had been hoping the Mu family personal guards would save him, felt even more despair after witnessing this scene.

Reαⅾ оո КαtReαⅾіոɡСаfe

Fear and despair nearly shattered his rationality.

However, as the second-in-command of the Mu family, even under these circumstances, Mu Yun still retained some rationality.

Feeling the terrifying aura permeating heaven and earth, Mu Yun trembled as he drew in a sharp breath.

This aura—he didn’t know what it was…

He only knew this aura was very similar to the Blood Demon Beasts’ aura…

But it was countless times more powerful than the Blood Demon Beasts’ aura, so powerful that its mere presence could crush a group of elite Mu family personal guards to death.

At this moment, Mu Yun couldn’t help but recall the legend recorded in ancient texts.

“You… you, you are? An… an Outer God?”

—”I don’t understand what you’re talking about…”—

The fire demon replied coldly.

—”However… hehe, it has to be this way…”—

The fire demon, or rather Bai Lianyue, murmured with satisfaction.

The reason she sealed the surrounding space and unleashed her true form after so long was to completely crush these people’s hearts, using her true body’s corruption to bring them unparalleled suffering.

For these people who had once harmed her daughter, Miss Evil God naturally wanted to get proper revenge.

“Please, kill… kill me…”

Feeling the constant excruciating pain throughout his body, Mu Yun pleaded miserably.

In response, Bai Lianyue scoffed and shook her head dismissively.

—”Sorry, want to die? It’s not that easy~”—

As her words fell, the earth suddenly cracked, splitting open a bottomless chasm. Below were countless writhing black death thorns emanating a corrosive aura, along with innumerable grotesque Crimson Spectre Eyes—the scene was extremely terrifying.

After glancing down with his peripheral vision, Mu Yun was so frightened he shed tears of horror.

“No, no, don’t…”

Vaguely, he had already guessed Bai Lianyue’s intention.

—”Sorry, you don’t have the right to say ‘no.'”—

Before her words finished, Bai Lianyue released her ‘hand’ gripping Mu Yun, and the Mu family’s second-in-command fell into the sea of thorns below.

His body was pierced through, and he was swallowed into it…

—”The thorns will devour your body, but they’ll also inject you with life force… hehe, enjoy yourself, Mr. Mu Yun.”—

Bai Lianyue said contemptuously.

The next moment, with a snap of her fingers, the cracked earth closed again.

Mu Yun’s miserable wails also came to an abrupt stop.

After dealing with Mu Yun and the group of Mu family members, Bai Lianyue slowly turned her gaze sideways. Countless Crimson Spectre Eyes moved their targets accordingly, casting cold stares toward the figure cowering in the corner—Bai Bin, who was trembling with fear.

—”Next, it’s your turn.”—

The eerie, chilling voice, mechanical-like in nature, echoed hauntingly in this place.

Rеaⅾ оո КаtReαⅾiոɡСаfе

However, when these words reached Bai Bin’s ears, they transformed into another kind of voice.

Not only had the voice changed… in Bai Bin’s eyes, Bai Lianyue’s current appearance was also completely different from what Mu Yun had seen.

At this moment, what appeared in Bai Bin’s eyes was a distinguished, naturally authoritative middle-aged man.

None other than his father… the previous head of the Bai family—Bai Xuansheng.

Facing his father approaching him step by step, Bai Bin was so frightened his spine went cold, desperately struggling and throwing nearby bricks forward.

“No!! Impossible!! You’re already dead!! You old bastard is clearly already dead!! I killed you with my own hands! You can’t possibly be alive… What the hell are you?! What the hell are you?!! What are you ahhhhhhhh!!!”

After seeing Mu Yun and the group of Mu family members easily killed by his opponent, Bai Bin’s mind had long since abandoned any thought of fighting.

Of course, driven by his survival instinct, Bai Bin naturally couldn’t just sit and wait for death.

Taking out a pendant emanating a special aura, Bai Bin roared anxiously:

“Lord Frankie!! Quick, hurry and save me ahhhhhhhh!!!”

Undoubtedly, at this life-or-death moment, Bai Bin placed all his hopes on that collaborator from Tianen Financial Group.

Perhaps only such an expert could defeat the monster before him and save himself?

However, before he had been calling for help for even a few seconds, his ‘father’s’ helpless voice quietly echoed in Bai Bin’s ears.

—”If you’re counting on that guy from Tianen Financial Group… give up, he can’t come…”—

Bai Bin: ?? What??
