Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1113: Chapter 1113: One of the Four Great Fierce Beasts, the Chubby One

It was only at this moment that the Palace Guardian Beast Soul came to its senses and clawed at the suddenly appearing Mu Hanyan.

The claw was so swift and fierce, slicing through the darkness like a bolt of lightning, leaving only a residual image.

Although Mu Hanyan had already used the Sword Transformation Technique of Frost Snow Dance, the Barrier Technique of Shadow Shifting, the most powerful strike of Nine Heavens Star Fall, and even the Divine Strike of the Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique, she was still half a beat too slow.

Seeing that the beast claw was about to land on her, Mu Hanyan’s face showed no hint of fear, instead, a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Never forget, she still had one last life-saving treasure—the Cangxuan Cloud Silk.

”Die for me!” The Palace Guardian Beast Soul roared with anger, its claws, sharp as Refined Steel, slicing across Mu Hanyan’s body.

The power contained within those claws was so formidable that not only living beings but even iron would likely be torn into pieces by it.

”What a pity, originally I wanted to slowly torment him to avenge past grudges, but didn’t expect this guy to be so troublesome. I had no choice but to kill him early.” The Palace Guardian Divine Beast secretly lamented.

But in the next moment, its angry eyes froze again.

The indestructible claws slashed fiercely across Mu Hanyan’s body, yet they caused him no harm, as if all the power dissipated within him.

Meanwhile, Mu Hanyan’s longsword, brimming with Spiritual Intent, struck its body.

”Roar...” Amid a tremendous roar, the phantom beast shadow was actually slashed and sent flying by the sword, letting out a furious lament.

The beast shadow rolled across the ground for over ten yards before stabilizing, emitting low groans of pain, its expression becoming more ferocious due to the extreme pain.

Only then did Mu Hanyan realize that this so-called beast soul wasn’t truly intangible. The vague shadow was struck by her Cold Sky Sword, revealing a foot-long wound, but inside the wound, there was neither flesh nor bone, only a small Exotic Beast hidden under the misty shadow.

This Exotic Beast was about a foot in length, resembling a plump little kitten, as cute and adorable as the Little Qiongqi.

From ancient times until now, had countless genius elites fallen victim to the Beast Soul Hall, only to find it was this small, cute kitten-like creature? Mu Hanyan stared, momentarily stunned.

But soon, Mu Hanyan reacted, knowing this wasn’t its actual form after it grew. If her guess was correct, this beast soul probably resurrected and was reborn like the Qiongqi Divine Beast, using the Divine Beast Relic. Although stronger than the Little Qiongqi, it was still essentially in its infancy, hence this appearance.

”Sorry for accidentally injuring you like this, but it wasn’t intentional. How about we call it quits? Oh, and I should have passed the test by now, right?” Mu Hanyan posed as the victor, speaking to the small Exotic Beast.

Don’t think Lady Mu was moved by mercy; despite its small and adorable appearance, this little Exotic Beast was a cunning little monster that had survived god knows how many years with a Residual Soul Divine Thought. Showing mercy? That’s just foolishness.

In fact, with that last strike, Mu Hanyan had exhausted the last of her Qi, feeling weak and having a stabbing pain in her mind, making it hard to even move.

Moreover, Cangxuan Cloud Silk’s Absolute Defense could only be used once. Having lost the last of her life-saving treasures, how could she dare to fight to the death?

On the surface, she appeared to have the upper hand, hoping her strange techniques earlier could intimidate the Exotic Beast, making it hesitate to continue attacking.

As for the memories of the Aolai Divine Beast, better to assess the situation first.

”Hmph, you think I don’t know you’re at the end of your rope, incapable of fighting?” Unfortunately, Mu Hanyan’s Wishful Abacus was in vain, as the Exotic Beast slowly stood up, with the wounds on its phantom beast shadow healing quickly, once again protecting the little Exotic Beast.

”Your injuries aren’t light either, why fight until both sides suffer?” Though the true form of the beast soul wasn’t visible, Mu Hanyan sensed its momentum had weakened significantly, clearly severely injured as well.

As she spoke, Mu Hanyan swallowed a handful of Elixirs. Though she was exhausted, she was ready to cast the Blood Sacrifice Technique like Huayue, risking her lifespan to forcefully tap into her potential, if pushed to the brink, which might provide a fighting chance.

However, a mutually damaging outcome wasn’t what Mu Hanyan desired.

”Indeed, my injuries are severe, but they’re enough to kill you.” The Palace Guardian Beast Soul said coldly, suddenly leaping into the air.

”Roar!” With a loud roar, the beast soul opened its mouth wide, spewing a crimson flame.

The flame spiraled around like crimson chains, firmly trapping Mu Hanyan within.

The beast soul roared continually, bizarre rays of light emerged from its body like water patterns, yet its aura kept diminishing.

The light gradually converged and merged, eventually forming a mighty and fierce beast shadow, its form like a tiger, fur like a dog, human face, tiger paws, pig mouth, fangs, and its strong long tail resembling a nine-foot steel whip.

Taowu! It was the legendary Taowu Divine Beast, one of the Four Great Fierce Beasts, known alongside the Qiongqi!

Mu Hanyan realized the true origin of this beast soul, gasping in shock.

Compared to Xia Youchen’s Little Qiongqi, the Taowu Divine Beast was no less notorious and significantly more powerful. Mu Hanyan dared not expect it to be lenient.

Mu Hanyan tightened her grip on the longsword, seeing the stance of the Taowu Divine Beast, determined to fight to the death. She felt it had reached its lowest ebb, presumably burning its not yet fully recovered Beast Soul power, thus revealing its true beast form.

”Beast Soul Refining Fire, Heart Burning and God Destruction!” The Taowu Beast Soul roared furiously, and the flame chains tightened instantly.

Mu Hanyan had prepared to employ the Blood Sacrifice Technique, sacrificing lifespan for a desperate struggle. However, forming the hand formations revealed they had no effect.

Mu Hanyan suddenly realized that the Taowu Beast Soul’s Beast Soul Refining Fire could interrupt her Blood Sacrifice Technique.

As Mu Hanyan regained her senses, the flame chains were already binding her layer by layer, shackling her tightly.

”Hahahaha, back then your ancestor destroyed my true form, extinguished my Divine Sense, leaving me with only three drops of Essence Blood and a wisp of Residual Soul. Today, I shall use this Beast Soul Refining Fire Technique to destroy your Mental State and obliterate your Divine Soul, avenging the blood sea enmity of the past.” Seeing Mu Hanyan trapped by the flame chains, unable to even perform the Blood Sacrifice Technique, the Taowu Beast Soul laughed wildly.
