Chapter 708: Chapter 545 The evildoer’s Longsword is unsheathed_2

But this also proved that the Soul-Devouring Python indeed possessed the ability to guide souls, just as the Dandan Bug had said!

”Fine,” With her vermilion lips parting slightly, Zhou Mu dropped that remark and continued moving forward, but now, an additional porcelain vial appeared in her hand.

Opening the vial, dark red bloodstains poured out from inside.

The Soul-Devouring Python was fast, but definitely not as fast as Zhou Mu’s movements!

Under the veil of night, the purple-gold figure seemed to transform into a wisp of nothingness, and in the blink of an eye, a faint circle of blood from the vial enclosed the Soul-Devouring Python.

”Hiss hiss hiss...”

The Soul-Devouring Python writhed, lashing its tail, the red tongue flickering within its gaping maw, yet it seemed to fear the circle of blood, and despite its efforts, the large snake body dared not cross over it!

Her blood!

Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched!

All of a sudden, she realized that her own blood could actually be used like this, drawing a circle like Sun Wukong’s Jingu Bang, and damn, it actually had a binding power over the python!

Rubbing her temples, Gu Changsheng curled her lips. In this moment, she downright began to doubt herself!

Damn it, the evildoer was silently mocking her heroic battle to the death with the Soul-Devouring Python!

Her intelligence had been scorned!

It was a bit heartbreaking!

”If you’ve hurt her, I’ll have your life!”

In the next moment, the tall figure that was standing behind the Soul-Devouring Python moved!

He lunged towards Dudu Zhi with a speed almost ghostly.

Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes widened as she watched the figure soaring through the night, unblinkingly.

To be exact, she had never seen Zhou Mu fight before! Aside from the playful exchanges with Yue Xilou, she had never witnessed him actually engage in combat with anyone!

His sword had never been drawn in front of her!

Under the moonlight, Dudu Zhi backed away in terror, the man’s objective was clear – it was her! And under this sharp and overwhelming pressure, she felt as if she were frozen in place, powerless to counterattack!

The inner strength within her, cultivated through a lifetime of Gu-training, was utterly ineffective in the presence of this man!

Fear!

Her eyes widened with horror!

Dudu Zhi could only watch as the longsword, flashing a chilling brilliance under the moonlight, pierced straight into her chest, causing a sudden pain and emptiness within her!

Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

This was the first time she had witnessed Zhou Mu kill someone; she always thought that the evildoer she knew was as harmless as he seemed by her side.

His face, akin to that of the Divine Residence, always carried a doting smile, along with the indulgent Zong Rong for her, those profound eyes only watching her, and an indifferent aloofness towards the people and events around...

The evildoer by her side, whom she knew incredibly well, made her overlook the fact that this enchantingly evocative man possessed the illustrious reputation of a War God!

Dudu Zhi fell without a chance to defend herself, her eyes wide, still with the unwillingness of impending death, but she could no longer voice her resentments!

Seeing this, the rest of the black-clad women who came with Dudu Zhi changed expressions drastically, looking at Zhou Mu with boundless terror!

Dudu Zhi, counted among the adept Gu-users in the Southern Border, with a richness of inner strength seldom matched, met such a sorry end without even a single move exchanged, slain by Zhou Mu’s longsword.

Unexpectedly, the rumors about Commandery Prince Zhou Mu resounded in their minds.

Unpredictable as the weather, cold-blooded in execution...

At that moment, they felt an unexplainable chill, as the immense oppressive aura around them made it hard to breathe!

The terror of death crept into their hearts, lingering incessantly!

”To think of harming her, I will ensure you all perish here!” His voice was icy cold, his bloodthirsty eyes red, his atmosphere exuding limitless pressure, his killing moves devoid of any technique!

The man before them was not human!

Suddenly, from among the remaining black-clothed women, one who was nearly out of her wits in terror, started to run away frantically!

Escape! She had to escape!

”Trying to escape? Not so easy!” Zhou Mu’s vermilion lips parted slightly as he coldly uttered a few words.

The Soft Sword left his hand, controlled by inner strength, shooting after the fleeing woman like an arrow launched from a bow!

The sword pierced through her chest, exiting her body!

Midway through, the blood-stained Soft Sword, returned to the man dressed in a Purple Gold Robe.

He stood there, watching the dozen or so women, his bloodthirsty eyes devoid of life, as if he were looking not at people but at a pile of corpses!

Cold-blooded, heartless!

This was Commandery Prince Mu! This was the ruthlessly heartless and murderous Commandery Prince known in the rumors!

Someone had already attempted to flee, and their fate was witnessed by all, devoid of any chance at life!

In front of this man, the path of escape was entirely futile!

He could control the sword with his mind!

For hundreds of years, no one in the world has been known to control a sword with inner strength!

Yet now, here stood one!

Unfortunately, this man was their enemy, one who sought their lives, who cut off all means of their retreat!

With no way back, their only option was to fight desperately to the death!

After all, it was merely a death they faced! They had no retreat! They could only bring forth their Life-bound Gu!

Throwing everything they had into the fray, perhaps they could carve a path to survival from this man defying the heavens!

The dozen women, their black robes billowing, the next moment, variously shaped and strange Gu insects appeared before them.

Scorpions, toads, lizards, cicada nymphs...

Visibly to the naked eye, these originally not-so-large Gu insects began to rapidly swell, growing larger...

Gu Changsheng’s expression involuntarily changed, her eyes looking at Zhou Mu with a faint worry.

”Prince Mu, I would like to see how much blood you have, to trap so many Gu insects!” The leading woman sneered sinisterly, ”What good is high inner strength before Gu insects? It’s still uncertain who the victor will be!”
