The gray clouds blocked the sunlight, and the entire city of Jinling was shrouded in a misty drizzle. Occasionally, a beautiful woman dressed in Hanfu would walk by with an oil-paper umbrella, as beautiful as an ink painting of mountains and rivers.
Mu Qing walked on the gravel road, wearing a large white robe that could cover her face and figure. She had already left Jinling City. Outside of Jinling City, the peaceful atmosphere was obviously gone, and every now and then a bloody stench would enter her nostrils.
Outside Jinling City, hunter teams that go out to hunt other races return from time to time, so there is still a steady flow of people.
After Mu Qing walked a little further, the area became deserted. Not long after she reached a secluded spot, a young man stopped her.
This young man was tall and straight, with fair skin and an exceptionally handsome face. He wore a fitted black robe and had an imposing presence. He was none other than Mu Fengxiu!
"I never thought you, you bastard, would actually dare to come out of Jinling City..." Mu Fengxiu suddenly frowned halfway through his sentence. "Hmm? You actually cultivated a spiritual body? Is this your source of confidence?"
Mu Fengxiu scoffed, his voice full of disdain. He could only say that there were differences between spiritual bodies. If Mu Qing, who had just cultivated a spiritual body, could fight against him, then he had wasted his time.
"Is it funny?" Mu Qing coldly raised her eyes.
"Of course it's funny, it's funny how you, you bastard, overestimate yourself!" Mu Fengxiu crossed his arms and looked down at Mu Qing. "Come on, let me see how much control you have over your spirit body, you bastard."
A gentle breeze swept by, and Mu Fengxiu instantly appeared in front of Mu Qing. His movements were as fast as lightning, so fast that before his afterimage could dissipate, his attack had already reached Mu Qing.
Mu Fengxiu gripped a lightning spear with his bare hands, and as lightning arcs flashed, he thrust it directly at Mu Qing's throat, his attack ruthless and aimed straight for a vital point.
However, Mu Qing has now cultivated a spiritual body, and she is no longer the weakling in front of Mu Fengxiu who has no ability to resist. From the moment Mu Fengxiu made his move, she began to prepare her elemental body.
Before the thunderous spear pierced her throat, Mu Qing transformed into a pool of deep blue thunderous liquid—this was her thunderous elemental form!
Although Mu Fengxiu's attack, also made of lightning, pierced Mu Qing's throat, it was unable to cause her any harm.
"Oh? You're much stronger than before, but if that's your confidence, you're being incredibly naive!"
Suddenly, the lightning in Mu Fengxiu's hand intensified, emitting a violent explosion. The lightning filled the sky, blasting Mu Qing away.
If she hadn't transformed into lightning, that single strike would have been fatal.
Mu Qing was not intimidated by the attack. He got up and retaliated, sending countless bolts of lightning as thick as thighs rushing towards Mu Fengxiu like serpents.
Mu Fengxiu sneered and stopped holding back. He also activated his spiritual body, transforming into a body of lightning. Then, a huge lightning dragon soared into the sky and swallowed all of Mu Qing's lightning in one gulp.
Mu Fengxiu drew a lightning sword from the thunder and quickly approached Mu Qing, slashing him with a single strike!
As both are elemental beings, although they cannot be killed in one blow, they will die if they are constantly injured.
Mu Qing also drew his Thunder Sword and clashed with Mu Fengxiu. When the two swords collided, countless bolts of lightning shot out, sweeping away all the surrounding rocks and trees.
But in the end, Mu Fengxiu was superior. Before long, Mu Qing was pierced with several large holes. If she hadn't cultivated a spiritual body, she would have already died at Mu Fengxiu's hands.
Knowing she couldn't continue entangled with Mu Fengxiu, she quickly retreated and pointed one finger to the sky.
"Open the heavens, summon thunder!"
A terrifying aura emanated from Mu Qing's body, and then it seemed as if a portal had truly opened in the sky, with countless bolts of lightning pouring down like a torrential rain, directly engulfing Mu Fengxiu.
However, facing this terrifying lightning, Mu Fengxiu was not afraid at all. He directly bathed in the lightning and slowly stepped out.
"You used the Lightning Summoning move so weakly; you've completely disgraced the Abyss Spirit Clan."
Mu Fengxiu spoke coldly, and with a wave of his Thunder Sword, he absorbed all the lightning that Mu Qing had attracted into the sword. Then, he slashed out with the sword, and even more ferocious and violent lightning poured down on Mu Qing.
Mu Qing did not sit idly by and wait for death. He immediately retaliated with a sword, trying to counter Mu Fengxiu's lightning. However, there was indeed a gap between the two. After a few seconds of stalemate, a violent explosion occurred at the center of their collision, which directly blasted Mu Qing away. He fell heavily to the ground, and his originally dazzling lightning body dimmed a bit.
Although Mu Qing had the ability to fight against Mu Fengxiu after cultivating a spiritual body, the difference in their strength was still too great. After several exchanges, Mu Qing was almost always at a disadvantage.
"Do you realize the difference between us now? Are you going to obediently shed your elemental form and let me take you back, or do you want me to beat you like a dead dog and drag you back?" Mu Fengxiu's gaze was icy, and he looked at Mu Qing as if she were a pitiful worm.
"Mu Fengxiu, you are indeed very strong, but unfortunately, you are about to die." Mu Qing suddenly revealed a stunning smile.
"Um?"
Mu Fengxiu seemed to realize something, but it was obviously too late. A barrier formed silently, directly enveloping him.
Chen Gu, hiding behind Shen Ze, revealed a sinister smile. Once trapped by his barrier, you won't be able to get out unless you kill him.
In a one-on-one fight, he'd be useless, essentially forcing the opponent to kill him. But in a team fight, Chen Gu's skill becomes a god-tier skill.
If this guy didn't seem to have any rebellious streak, Qiao Suinian would have wanted to poach him from Qin Fufeng with a high salary.
"How dare you, mere humans, interfere in the affairs of my Abyss Spirit Race? You truly have audacity!"
Realizing he was trapped, Mu Fengxiu was not alarmed but enraged. His body suddenly crackled with lightning, and terrifying bolts of lightning began to attack indiscriminately, blasting outwards. Chen Gu's barrier was shattered, but it immediately reformed the next second.
Shen Ze spread his arms to block Chen Gu, and was instantly electrocuted, his hair turning into an afro. But he didn't know what kind of ability he possessed, that allowed him to withstand such terrifying lightning with his bare body.
"Damn, it's so numb! My sphincter almost couldn't hold!" As soon as Shen Ze spoke, black smoke billowed from his mouth.
"You better hold on tight! I'm right behind you!" Chen Gu's face turned green upon hearing this, and he moved back a little in fear. He didn't want to be in deep trouble.
"Hmm? Can't break through?" Mu Fengxiu was somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting Chen Gu's barrier to be so difficult to break.
Before he could make a further move, the sharp sound of the suona pierced his ears like iron spikes, causing Mu Fengxiu to cover his ears in pain. As a member of the Abyss Spirit Clan, this was the first time he had ever witnessed such a torturous musical instrument.
The Liang brothers did not dare to approach Mu Fengxiu, but instead played the suona from a distance to keep him at bay.
A huge scythe appeared behind Mu Fengxiu and slashed down fiercely.
"Go to hell! You men, such a lowly gender, all deserve to die!"
