Chapter 261: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

In the following month, Lou Mu Yan took her Spirit Pets to challenge Tier 7 Demonic Beast’s territories, successfully attracting the attention of the King of the forested mountains.

In the Class 2 Danger Zone, under an abyss filled with a black aura, and in an underground Demon’s cave with abundant Spiritual Force.

There was a cyan-bearded old man sitting, with a man and a woman standing below.

“King, recently a human woman in the forest has killed no less than ten of our Tier 7 Demon Cultivators.” The woman with some slender red snakes coiled atop her head spoke first, revealing great respect to the old man on the seat.

The cyan-bearded old man looked calm, raised his head, and asked: “What is the strength of the dead Tier 7 Demon Cultivators? And what cultivation base is that human woman?”

“Reporting to King.
All those who died were Demon Cultivators at Initial-Phase Tier 7.
According to the investigation, the woman was only an Advanced-Phase Sword Monarch.” The woman’s face was a bit grim.
Those trash were truly shameful.

The skinny man beside her had a grave look in his eyes, “She should be the human Sword Master who used Arrays to trap and kill Demonic Beasts.”

Lou Mu Yan’s reputation had long passed into the ears of many Demon Cultivators, and she was most famous for her Array that trapped beasts.

“It doesn’t matter if she is that person or not.
Since she dared provoke us on our mountain, she naturally couldn’t be let out alive.” The woman snorted coldly.

The skinny man said nothing and looked directly at the old man above.

The old man stroked his cyan beard and smiled lightly: “Let her keep messing about.
We’ll settle all the accounts together during the Great Decisive War.”

Monarch had told them long ago that they were not allowed to kill the genius Sword Master of the humans in person before the Great Decisive War.

Since the human female Sword Master could kill Initial-Phase Tier 7 Demon Cultivators, even if he sent out Peak-Phase Tier 7 Demon Cultivators, she could still escape even if she couldn’t defeat them, so why bother.

If she accidentally killed a few Late-Phase Tier 7 Demon Cultivators, then their Class 2 Danger Zone would fall behind during the Great Decisive War.

“King, then do we just forget about it?” The woman obviously didn’t want to be passive about this.

“Don’t mention this again.
As long as she doesn’t take the initiative to provoke you, then you’re not allowed to act.” The cyan-bearded old man’s eyes turned cold and warned.

The woman took a deep breath, then muttered beneath her breath: “Yes!”

She really couldn’t figure out why they wanted to let the human Sword Cultivator go.
The Tier 7 Demon Cultivators who were killed were all fools.
At this time, she desperately hoped that the woman would take the initiative to provoke her.

After leaving the Demon’s cave, the skinny man said to the woman before leaving: “For now, let’s concentrate on cultivating and wait for the Great Decisive War between humans and Demons this time.”

“Humph, you don’t have to pretend to be kind.” The woman turned her head away and ignored him.

The man shook his head speechlessly, then disappeared into the sky in a flash.

The more the woman thought about it, the more it annoyed her.
Her eyes were grim, and she finally turned into a red light and went in Lou Mu Yan’s direction.

She just didn’t like a human, female cultivator being arrogant on their territory.

At this time, Lou Mu Yan and Bing Ji, who had transformed into his original form, were guarding outside a bush, waiting for Xue to advance.

After swallowing the blood of a few Tier 7 Demonic Beasts, Xue finally broke through the shackles of Tier 6 and entered Tier 7.
Waves after waves of Spiritual Energy surged and gathered, preparing for the advancement.

The woman felt the fluctuations of the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and earth and accelerated her speed.

After an hour, Xue’s body was completely tempered, his roots were countless times larger, and the golden colour of the main branch was even purer.

“Owner, I succeeded.” Xue said excitedly, speaking human words.

Demonic Plants and Demonic Beasts were different, as they could only speak the human language at Tier 7, but couldn’t transform into a human form.
Only when he reached Tier 8 could he transform into a human form, which fully reflected the difficulty of cultivating for Demonic Plants.

“Not bad.
You can also take the pills I made before too.” Lou Mu Yan smiled in a rather good mood.

The pills she had previously refined with the Crystal Cores of Tier 7 Demonic Beasts were only suitable for Demonic Beasts above Tier 6, otherwise the violent energy would be detrimental to their body, so neither Miao Miao nor Xue could take it.

“Humph, humph.
I’ll be entering Tier 7 soon too.” Miao Miao stuck out a small head and said determinedly.

Now she had the lowest cultivation base among all the Spirit Pets.
She didn’t want to be the bottom at all.

Bing Ji rolled his eyes, “Little guy, your cultivation speed is already Heaven-defying alright?”

The little white Jiao’s cultivation speed was the fastest he had ever seen.
How long had it been since she followed Owner, and she had already advanced from Tier 2 to Late-Phase Tier 6.
If this news was spread, how could the other Demonic Beasts live hearing that!

Even he was jealous and envious, yet who would’ve thought that this little thing would still not be satisfied.

Sure enough, as the Owner was abnormally monstrous, none of the Spirit Pets who followed her were useless either.
He secretly decided that he couldn’t be too bad either, and wouldn’t be lazy in the future.

“Miao Miao will advance very soon.
Isn’t there a ready-made resource sending themselves to our door.” Lou Mu Yan sneered and looked at the sky in the distance.

As expected, a moment after her voice fell, a red light dashed over and fell in front of them, turning into an exceptionally enchanting woman.

She Ji scrutinised the purple-clothed woman opposite with distain in her eyes, “You’re that human Sword Master who keeps slaying Tier 7 Demon Cultivators in our forest?”

“So what if I am?” Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow with her arms folded.

The Demon Cultivator opposite was a Late-Phase Demon Cultivator of the Snake Race, which was a bit tricky, but they were still sure to win.

It just so happened that Miao Miao needed a Tier 7 Snake Race Crystal Core to assist in her advancement, and this Demon Cultivator came at just the right time.

“What arrogance.
Today, I’ll toss you into a snake nest to taste the feeling of ten thousand snakes eating your heart.” She Ji snorted coldly.

A beautiful smile bloomed on Lou Mu Yan’s stunning face, as if a lovely poppy that carried poison in its beauty, “I sure want to try it.”

She Ji’s eyes grew cold, and she took the lead in launching the attack.
Her mouth moved, and one only heard [chi chi] sounds.

Then countless red snakes quickly slithered out of the mountains and slithered towards Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan swept the snakes on the ground casually with her eyes, then with a thought, a wall of fire suddenly rose from all sides and engulfed the little snakes that came flying over.

She Ji was stunned for a moment.
She obviously underestimated Lou Mu Yan’s strength.
The coldness and killing intent in her eyes grew stronger and stronger.
She turned into a giant red snake with a pure red body and flew over.

Her snake eyes looked at Lou Mu Yan insidiously, “You’re lucky that you can make me reveal my true form to kill you!”

Lou Mu Yan smiled in amusement: “I don’t know why you think so highly of yourself.
Revealing your true form to kill me, do I have to thank you for that?”

“Humph!” She Ji didn’t say much and swept her tail violently and heavily down at Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan flew out of the way, and ten golden swords rose into the air, turning into a golden arc, slashing towards the tail of the snake.

She Ji was a Late-Phase Tier 7 Demonic Beast after all.
Although her body was huge, but it was extremely flexible.
She avoided the sword arc and opened her mouth, biting towards Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan stepped on the golden swords, and her hands were covered with a layer of light red before throwing out punches.
The fighting intent in her body was aroused.

At the same time, a group of people not far away were rushing towards the direction they were fighting.

“Master, the snake we were looking for is fighting with a human Sword Master.” One of them said excitedly.
The lips of the handsome, black-clothed man in front raised in an arc, “No hurry.
We’ll be that oriole today.”
