Chapter 688: 558: One Person, One Fox
They were finally launching the deadly attack!!
Caught among the Stone Guardians, Chu Mu clutched at his chest, his face twisted in pain.
The High-Level Monarch’s power struck Chu Mu’s body directly. If his body hadn’t gone through the baptism of the Jade Spring Holy Blood, this blow would have been enough to pulverize him!
Chu Mu stood up with great difficulty. The Stone Guardians’ attack speed wasn’t very fast, but feeling the immense Rock Type aura coming at him from all directions, Chu Mu didn’t dare to hesitate even for a moment and began to chant a spell!
“Rumble!!!!!!!!!!!”
Dozens of Rock Blades slashed at him from all sides, with the force of the air-splitting and earth-shattering strikes appearing all at once, leaving Chu Mu with no room to dodge!
With these dozens of energies gathered together, the power they possessed reached the Tenth Level! Under any other circumstances, everything within nearly a thousand meters would be destroyed!
At the moment the energies surged toward him, Chu Mu’s body was swiftly engulfed in Demon Flames!
The Demon Flames burned through his body, quickly reducing it to ashes.
“Whoosh~~~~~~~~”
In the next instant, Chu Mu appeared a hundred meters away, outside the center of the energy concentration.
However, this energy was powerful enough to spread over a thousand meters, so Chu Mu’s evasive action had merely helped him escape the most potent area.
Suddenly, a strong Rock Type shockwave swept over Chu Mu like a tidal wave. No sooner had he emerged from the Demon Flames than he was once again hurled high into the air, his body riddled with incredible wounds as if his body was being torn apart!!
“Oooo!!!!!!!”
Mo Ye roared in anger as it began to move, its silver glow covering its entire body. Its hooves stepped on top of the Crown Flames, dashing over the heads of several Stone Guardians and flying towards Chu Mu…
Whoosh!!!!!! Whoosh!!!!!!!!”
As Mo Ye charged, countless Rock Blade waves intersected in mid-air. It was clear that no matter how high Mo Ye flew, they would target it.
Mo Ye dodged in mid-air, but the wounds on its body increased with every step. It was like running through a storm of swords; the faster it ran, the more severe the injuries it sustained… Still, it continued to rush towards Chu Mu.
Fortunately, the previous Tenth Level energy had also impacted the Stone Guardians themselves to some extent, and Mo Ye took the opportunity to fly over their heads as the shockwave pushed them back. Had it been under normal circumstances, Mo Ye would have been killed by countless Stone Guardian Rock Blades in mid-air with its strength.
“Oooo~~~~~~~”
Finally, Mo Ye flew in front of Chu Mu, and with its tail, caught him just before he plunged heavily into the crowd of Stone Guardians, covered in wounds.
Feeling the softness of the tail, even though he couldn’t open his eyes, Chu Mu knew that Mo Ye had come to his rescue.
However, at this moment, Chu Mu felt a sense of helplessness and bitterness.
“Mo Ye, head towards the center where the energy is blasted apart; it’s relatively safer there.” Chu Mu communicated with Mo Ye through his Soul Sense.
Naturally, Chu Mu knew that staying in the air would result in attacks from hundreds of Stone Guardians, which would be tantamount to courting death.
“Ooo~~~~” Mo Ye swiftly dove down, dodging some long-range attacks from the Stone Guardians and headed towards the center of the previous energy burst.
The Tenth Level energy had not fully subsided yet, and there were still powerful Rock Type forces overflowing. However, to catch their breath, they had no choice but to dash towards it; otherwise, the next wave of Stone Guardian attacks would definitely kill them.
“Whoosh~~~~~” Mo Ye’s silver fur was blown into disarray by the chaotic airflow, and the residual Rock Type force even cut through its body…
At last, Mo Ye landed in the center of the Tenth Level Energy. Due to the shockwaves being dispersed in all directions, a relatively large gap had appeared in the middle. The energy would take about 10 seconds to fully calm down, and the Stone Guardians’ next attack would likely occur on the 10th second.
The White Demon had already been sealed within the Blood Beast Altar, so even if Chu Mu wanted to perform half-demonization, he couldn’t. Furthermore, choosing to perform half-demonization was like burning his soul…
“Ooo~~~~”
After landing, Mo Ye set the injured Chu Mu on the ground.
Mo Ye knew that no matter what attack they used, it would be impossible to harm the vast army of Stone Guardians. It stood beside Chu Mu, licking the wounds on his arm with its tongue, as if trying to alleviate his pain.
Chu Mu caressed Mo Ye’s forehead with his hand, but his eyes did not reveal any fear or despair towards the impending death. Instead, they held a bitter sense of gratification.
“You’re both obedient and disobedient,” Chu Mu didn’t know what else to say, but blaming Mo Ye’s recklessness and irrationality was meaningless.
Chu Mu knew that any of his Soul Pets would, without hesitation, be willing to sacrifice their lives in moments of crisis.
Each of them had a reason to give their lives for Chu Mu: Zhan Ye’s appreciation, the White Demon’s dependence, Ning’s reliance, the Demon Tree’s loyalty, Ye’s resonance…
Only Mo Ye, who didn’t need any reason or excuse to do anything for Chu Mu.
Just as it had once turned down the offer of strong protection from the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon to lean on the shoulders of the weak human, Chu Mu; just as it had never left Chu Mu’s side even when their soul contract was broken during their time in the Demon Spirit House…
“Oooo~~~~~~~”
Mo Ye murmured, a hint of sorrow in its voice.
In the past, when faced with enemies, Mo Ye would always stand in front of Chu Mu.
However, now that enemies surrounded them from all sides, Mo Ye could only stand beside Chu Mu.
“Unwilling to accept it, right? In just a few years, we won’t even care about thousands of low-grade Monarch level enemies.” Chu Mu didn’t express any complaints.
Any Soul Pet Master would face a day with unbeatable enemies. Chu Mu couldn’t always be lucky, so he wasn’t complaining, he was just unwilling to accept defeat both for himself and for Mo Ye…
“Wu wu~~~~” Mo Ye raised its head, and its silver eyes looked at Chu Mu, shimmering with a somewhat determined light.
“Of course.” Chu Mu wore a smile at this moment, with equally determined eyes, saying, “We will keep fighting!”
Chu Mu took a deep breath and straightened his injured body.
His black clothes were a bit tattered, his hair even more disheveled, resembling his life on Prison Island as a wild man.
Mo Ye’s body was covered in scarlet blood that clashed with its silver fur, highlighting the bloodthirstiness of the Bloody Fox!
When Chu Mu was on Prison Island, he needed strength to survive, and the belief to become stronger then took root in the deepest part of his heart.
Mo Ye shared the same fate as Chu Mu. In its weakest state, it was merely a little Servant Level fox, needing to constantly grow, metamorphose, and mutate.
At that time, in the jungle filled with corpses, they would eventually leave proudly with black and silver colors…
Now, it was still a man and a fox.
Facing thousands of enemies in the thousand-meter-wide square, the Stone Guardians’ ferocious and cruel demeanor, no matter how terrible and powerful, couldn’t overshadow the light in the eyes of this man and this fox!
…
The Messenger Soul Pet circled far below the dark clouds, and through its eyes, it saw an astounding scene.
“Chu Mu and his Soul Pet are trapped in the Blood Beast Plaza surrounded by thousands of low-grade Monarch Stone Guardians…”
When the news spread to the people in World Plaza, the vast crowd of nearly a hundred thousand people exploded in shock!
The news spread like a tropical storm!
“How could this happen!!”
“Soul Hall’s Chu Chen and his Soul Pet are now dead!”
“What’s happening to them now!!”
Shouts of surprise echoed continuously; the entire World Plaza experienced unprecedented agitation!
Shang Heng, Ting Lan, Zhao Cheng, and many other members of Soul Hall sat in their seats with expressions that revealed their difficulty in accepting this reality.
“Messenger Soul Pet Master, they’re not dead yet, right?”
“Are they dead now?”
Questions rose one wave after another; though everyone knew Chu Mu couldn’t possibly survive, they still wanted to know the exact moment when this well-known young warrior in World City would fall…
Those who admired and worshipped Chu Mu had to remember the precise moment of his downfall!
…
The Messenger Soul Pet hovering above the Blood Beast Plaza shared its vision with its master, so the Messenger Soul Pet Master could see the situation there.
However, when the Messenger Soul Pet Master witnessed it first-hand, they were stunned for a few seconds, not knowing how to describe what they saw.
Eventually, the Messenger Soul Pet Master shared the news.
“They are fighting.”
The Messenger Soul Pet Master could only describe it as “they are fighting.” Maybe they felt that this description was really far-fetched, but they could genuinely feel that they were fighting!
They are fighting!
It’s such a simple description, yet which Soul Pet Master doesn’t often fight?
However, facing such a vast number of insurmountable enemies, the meaning of their fight had completely changed!
“They are fighting.”
Even the competition guards who relayed the message deliberately lowered their voices, which echoed hauntingly in everyone’s ears in the World Plaza.
At this moment, the entire World Plaza was silent!
Chu Mu, clothed in ragged black, and the blood-drenched Nine-Tailed Crown Flame Fox fought among the countless Stone Guardian armies…
Even if people couldn’t see it, they could imagine this heart-stirring scene in their minds!!! (
