"Sizzle!!"
Mu Jinyu transferred the soul source power of the Shadow Assassin to the seed of the Mystical Little Tree, which was quickly absorbed completely.
However, the seed still appeared shriveled, seemingly unchanged.
No matter, Mu Jinyu was prepared to spend a long ti reviving the Mystical Little Tree.
Then, Mu Jinyu opened his eyes and continued to watch the battle between Chu Huannian and another assassin!
The fight between him and the Shadow Assassin seed intense and prolonged, but in reality, only a few dozen seconds had passed.
Chu Huannian was still bathed in the sea of lightning, struggling to resist.
Her whole body was bathed in thunder light, her hair danced, each strand flashing arcs of electricity, she was simply like the mother of electricity!
anwhile, the black-clad assassin had fully activated his bloodline, sprouting a pair of bat-like wings from his back, but they bore threads of silver lines, carrying both evil and holy auras.
"Kill!"
"Bang bang bang!!"
"Crackle!"
Chu Huannian's eyes were icy cold, she wielded a long spear, crazily striking the Batwing Assassin, enduring the pain of lightning strikes. Her skin, which was not protected by armor, had many spots charred by thunder, yet she did not let out a single groan.
The Batwing Assassin, seeing the lightning sea about to dissipate, yet unable to take down Chu Huannian, urgently shouted at Mu Jinyu, "Hurry up and help!"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing the shout, Mu Jinyu's expression changed slightly and quickly inferred that the other party presud he must have been soul-seized by the Shadow Assassin after managing to poison him, given he was rely an Early Divine Transformation Realm Stage young cultivator.
Is he asking to help him take care of Chu Huannian?
Mu Jinyu's mind moved swiftly, deciding to play along!
He didn't speak, but reached out to grab the fallen dark blade of the Shadow Assassin, then watched as the lightning sea grew weaker.
He then soared skyward, quickly closing in on the two in fierce combat!
Seeing Mu Jinyu approaching, Chu Huannian's eyes were cold, filled with murderous intent, her heart heavy, her eyes showing so sadness.
Even though she hadn't known Mu Jinyu for long, they had experienced quite a bit together, and she considered him sowhat of a friend. Now, Mu Jinyu was dead, soul-seized, and coming to kill her, making her feel quite complex.
The most important thing was, Mu Jinyu, before dying, had greatly helped her, causing the Shadow Assassin to fall from Unity Realm Stage strength to only being able to display Fanxu Realm battle power!
Being soul-seized, he might not even be able to exert Mu Jinyu's battle strength, only Divine Transformation Realm Level battle power!
This made Chu Huannian feel both guilty and grateful towards Mu Jinyu!
"Chop!!"
Just as Chu Huannian braced herself to resist both the Batwing Assassin's attacks within the lightning sea and the "Shadow Assassin's" assault,
Mu Jinyu, who they thought was the "Shadow Assassin," suddenly focused his gaze and slashed towards the Batwing Assassin's wings!!
"Clang!!"
Mu Jinyu's blade struck the opponent's wings, producing a clashing sound of gold-iron, and his arm felt a bit numb!
"Ah!!"
Though Mu Jinyu's strong strike didn't sever the opponent's wings, it still injured him, the blade deeply embedded into the wings, revealing a terrifying wound deep enough to expose bone!
This made the Batwing Assassin let out a heartrending scream!
"Huh?!"
Chu Huannian, seeing this, narrowed her eyes, a surge of joy washing over her heart.
She knew, most likely Mu Jinyu hadn't been soul-seized by the Shadow Assassin, he was still himself!
Even if it was indeed the Shadow Assassin, not knowing what trick he was up to by attacking the Batwing Assassin, the current situation was favorable for her; Chu Huannian wouldn't foolishly pass it up!
"Hah!!"
"Boom!!"
Chu Huannian's eyes flashed with cold electricity, she swung her spear, concentrating vigorous Qi, fiercely piercing through the Batwing Assassin's chest!
"Bang!!"
Vigorous Qi exploded, instantly blowing open half of the Batwing Assassin's chest, blood splattered, and at scattered!
"Ah!!"
The Batwing Assassin let out another heartrending scream, knowing the situation was beyond saving, he could no longer kill Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian, he endured the intense pain and gave Mu Jinyu a venomous look, before flapping his wings and flying skyward!
"Crackle!!"
Arcs of electricity flickered on his wings, suddenly speeding him up several tis, disappearing before Mu Jinyu and Chu Huannian in an instant!
"Ran away? His speed sure is fast!"
Mu Jinyu watched the Batwing Assassin's escape speed, squinting slightly, knowing he couldn't catch up, Chu Huannian probably couldn't either!
"Clang!!"
At this mont, Chu Huannian suddenly raised her hand, pointing the spear tip at Mu Jinyu's throat, gazing at him with a complicated expression!
Mu Jinyu looked bewildered and asked, "What are you doing?"
Chu Huannian coldly replied, "You tell !"
Mu Jinyu, hearing this, suddenly understood; although he helped Chu Huannian, she probably feared the Shadow Assassin was up to so trick, thus wouldn't relax her guard.
Mu Jinyu laughed bitterly, "Ma'am, you can't even recognize , I helped you for nothing!"
"Huh?!"
Hearing Mu Jinyu call her 'ma'am', Chu Huannian's forehead twitched with veins, her face turned dark, she almost couldn't resist stabbing him!
But eventually, she put the gun down and cursed, "So it really is you! Tough as nails, can't believe you survived!"
Because of calling her 'ma'am,' Chu Huannian no longer questioned Mu Jinyu's identity, confirming he was indeed Mu Jinyu, not the Shadow Assassin who had seized him!
Because the first ti they t, Mu Jinyu had called her 'ma'am', sothing only they knew.
Even if the Shadow Assassin had seized Mu Jinyu and gained part of his mory, he couldn't have quickly thought of using this term to disguise himself!
He would definitely use another thod to prove he was Mu Jinyu!
Seeing Chu Huannian lower her weapon, Mu Jinyu exhaled lightly and said, "Ma'am, you're really heartless, risking my life to save you only to have you point a spear at , saved you for nothing!"
Chu Huannian glanced at Mu Jinyu and scoffed, "Tch, you've forgotten who they targeted at the start? Saved for nothing? Obviously, I was risking my life to save you!"
Mu Jinyu replied, "But this ti, they were clearly aiming to deal with both of us, no longer just saving !"
Chu Huannian couldn't be bothered to argue with Mu Jinyu, "Let's go, I know that person's identity, let's go deal with him! He won't get far."
With that, she prepared to move, but triggered her injuries, scorched by electricity, and furrowed her brow.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu noticed the patches of charred skin on Chu Huannian's face and arms, frowned, and sighed, "No hurry, let heal your wounds first."
