Chapter 97: Bai Yuan Teaches Mu Junwu

Through the Five Elements Formation he sensed that aura, Bai Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a strong killing intent.

"Did the Shura God send the King of Slaughter over because he suspects my death is suspicious, coming to investigate, or does he intend to eradicate me completely?" Bai Yuan muttered.

After thinking, Bai Yuan believed it was the latter.

Because the Shura God was likely taken back to the Divine Realm by the God of Destruction, and the starry expanse of the Abyss is who knows how far from the Douluo Continent, without the Divine Realm's help the Shura God simply cannot transmit orders.

Moreover, the King of Slaughter could not possibly arrive that quickly.

Therefore it must be that the Shura God sensed Bai Yuan leaving the Douluo Continent to seek the Holy Lord of the Abyss, thought he was sure to die, and thus sent the King of Slaughter to eradicate him.

Bai Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, he did not hesitate, just in case he spent ten thousand teacher virtue points, exchanged from the system mall for a bronze mask named Heavenly Secret.

【Heavenly Secret Mask: When subjected to Heavenly Secret calculation and divine sense probing, it prevents the probe from detecting any abnormality】

Bai Yuan placed the bronze mask on his face, then turned his gaze again to the giant willow tree and said: "Junwu, are you confident you can deal with that guy?"

The current Mu Junwu has completely mastered the Five Elements Formation; even though she is only at early Foundation Establishment, she can, like Bai Yuan, rely on the formation's power to reach half-step Nascent Soul.

Mu Junwu said: "Master, if he enters within ten thousand meters of the ground, I am fully confident I can detain him."

"Then wait, he will come." Bai Yuan flew on his sword toward Mu Junwu, seeing beneath that giant willow tree the wooden door that remained unchanged.

"Please enter, Master." Mu Junwu respectfully said.

The wooden door opened with the sound, sunlight flooded in, filling every corner, and the original windows appeared at this moment, restoring light inside.

Bai Yuan walked straight in and said: "Junwu, I'll stay inside this time to watch your performance, treating it as a test of your cultivation over the past year."

Mu Junwu smiled: "Disciple will certainly not disappoint Master."

Bai Yuan nodded slightly and instructed: "By the way, Junwu, do not reveal the information that I am still alive."

Mu Junwu seemed to pause for a moment, then without asking why she simply replied: "Everything will be as Master says."

Silence fell here; Bai Yuan stood silently at the attic window, gazing into the distance, awaiting the arrival of the King of Slaughter.

Time passed second by second; as time flowed, heaven and earth grew ever more tranquil, and the insects of the world seemed to sense danger, daring not to make the slightest sound.

Not long after, a middle-aged man came into Bai Yuan's view.

The man wore a blood-red robe, his entire body enveloped in a huge standing-collar scarlet cape; his complexion was pallid, his hair and eyes both blood-red.

From afar he looked like a crimson shadow.

"Who are you, and why do you invade?" Mu Junwu's icy voice rang through heaven and earth, and at that moment the world seemed to grow cold along with her will.

The King of Slaughter's body stalled, a flash of shock crossing his blood-red pupils, then he turned and fled without a word.

Clearly, in just a moment of contact, the King of Slaughter realized he was absolutely no match for Mu Junwu.

As one of the three current 99th-rank Ultimate Douluo titled Invincible Earth, in terms of strength he could match a demigod by shattering rings, but the present King of Slaughter is not Tang Chen.

He should actually be the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King!

In an instant, a pair of enormous blood-red wings unfolded from his back; as he flapped them, his whole body shot forth like a crimson cannonball.

Bai Yuan:???

He had already seated himself, ready to eat melons and watch the show, yet the mighty King of Slaughter, after meeting his disciple, turned and fled—what kind of talk is this?

Mu Junwu also froze at this moment; she had been preparing for a fierce battle to gain combat experience.

After all, since she gained sentience she had never truly fought, but the scene before her truly left her stunned.

"Does he have no dignity as a powerhouse?" Mu Junwu muttered, watching the fleeing King of Slaughter, unable to hold back.

Bai Yuan couldn't help but pat the "wall" before him, his tone somewhat exasperated as he said: "Junwu, what are you standing there dumbfounded for? Hurry up and chase!"

"Besides, a strongman's dignity is useless; learn from me, Master—if you should run, then run, knowing what it means to 'keep the green hills, so you won't lack firewood,' got it?"

Mu Junwu was somewhat dumbstruck hearing that.

"Is there a master who teaches disciples like this? This is completely unlike the invincible master she imagined!"

But after coming to her senses, Mu Junwu said: "Disciple understands."

As her words fell, Mu Junwu launched a pursuit of the King of Slaughter.

Only to see thousands of willow branches drift up from her body, extending without limit, transforming into boundless verdant green that shrouded the entire sky.

At the same time, within the Five Elements Formation the land, under the influence of another towering tree seemingly carved from rock, gave rise to earth dragons formed from gathered soil and stone.

In the other three directions, trees formed of fire, metal, and water simultaneously launched an assault on the King of Slaughter.

Bai Yuan's eyes flickered as he sensed all this.

He had already discovered that Mu Junwu's control over metal, water, fire, and earth attributes paled in comparison to her command of wood.

At the same time Bai Yuan also realized that Mu Junwu was no longer suited to the Wood Emperor Longevity Classic; she needed a new cultivation method.

Meanwhile, the King of Slaughter also felt the terrifying attacks coming from all sides, yet he had no intention of turning back to oppose the all-encompassing verdant green.

The King of Slaughter shot straight toward the weakest fire dragon; as his wings flapped, an extremely thick blood mist rose, accompanied by a nauseating stench of blood that permeated heaven and earth.

Slaughter Domain!

The effect of the Slaughter Domain is Magic Seal; the Magic Seal characteristic holds absolutely—those within the domain cannot use any soul skill, only the most basic form of their martial soul.

But at this moment the Slaughter Domain had utterly no effect, shocking the King of Slaughter; he had no choice but to unleash a vast blood light, clashing head-on with the weakest fire dragon.

"Boom!"

A boom echoed through heaven and earth; the King of Slaughter's body was somewhat scorched, but overall unharmed, he shot at extreme speed toward the angle between Mu Junwu's fire-phase tree and metal-phase tree.

After successively enduring strikes from the gold dragon, earth dragon, and a fire dragon, the King of Slaughter ultimately broke out of the Five Elements Formation at the cost of only minor injuries.

"Master, I……" Mu Junwu looked like a child who had made a mistake.

Bai Yuan sighed helplessly: "Junwu, it's fine; it's because the Wood Emperor Longevity Classic no longer suits you, and also my fault for not teaching you combat well."

"Master……"

Bai Yuan shook his head: "It's fine, but Master currently has no time to teach you; I sense he has headed toward the Ice and Fire Dual Poles Eye."
