Chapter 470 - 462 Scattered_2
Chen Mu’s face changed dramatically.
"Ambushed by Water Apes? The entire support troop of the camp totally crumbled and disintegrated?"
"That’s totally screwed!"
...
As evening came, the setting sun was as red as blood.
Above the vast grasslands, a patch of tall weeds suddenly shook violently, and more than a hundred Yin Spirits clad in grey short outfits were moving through the weeds.
They scurried about in panic, each running desperately toward the distant hills.
"Faster, faster, even faster!"
"As long as we reach the dense forest in the distance, we can all survive!" Feng Qianli, the commander of the Twelve Battle Flags, shouted loudly.
No sooner had his voice faded than a roaring sound came from behind.
Feng Qianli’s face changed, he turned his head abruptly and saw not far behind him a three-meter-tall red-haired water ape standing erect, its blood-red eyes staring at them as if they were a group of lambs to be slaughtered, filled with icy coldness.
Feng Qianli’s pupils shrank suddenly, he suppressed his trembling and shouted loudly, "Run!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt an intense tension envelop his body, a cold chill suddenly swept over his heart.
Looking intently, he saw the red-haired water ape touching the ground with six limbs, covering a distance of over five hundred meters in two leaps, like a fiery red meteor, crashing down towards the top of his head wrapped in a blazing scarlet light.
"Move the Mountain!"
He slammed his hands fiercely into the ground, and the Yin Spirit Divine Power surged out. The soil in front of him bulged violently, rolling toward the distance like waves.
The next moment.
Boom!
A three-meter-thick layer of soil rose like a carpet, slamming towards the red-eyed water ape.
Bang!
Soil scattered in the air.
The thick and hard wall of soil was shattered instantly by the water ape’s impact, with the water ape itself forced to the ground, but despair filled Feng Qianli’s heart in an instant.
That strike had drained all his divine power, but it only made the water ape shake its head and shiver, as if it had just been splashed with a bucket of water!
Not only did it fail to cause any harm, but it also drew the angry gaze of the water ape.
Along with a deafening roar, the body of the water ape suddenly enlarged and was almost instantly in front of him.
Two fists enshrouded in fiery red light crashed down like scorching cannonballs. Locked by the fierce aura of the water ape, Feng Qianli was instantly frozen in place.
Just as the fists were about to smash his head, his hair already twisted by the scorching wind, the next moment, he saw a flash of light, and the red-haired water ape that filled his vision disappeared abruptly.
Bang! Bang, bang, bang!
Accompanied by a series of ground-shaking sounds, the previously ferocious water ape had, at some point, been knocked back a hundred meters.
After landing, it tumbled along, leaves and soil exploding around it, like a meteorite crashing down, plowing out a long and uneven trench.
Feng Qianli turned instinctively and saw at a glance a giant with indigo-blue skin at least five meters tall whose body was wrapped in black smoky ribbons.
Yin Soldier?
I’m saved!

Feeling a sense of relief in his heart, he immediately collapsed onto the ground, devoid of the strength to get up.
...
Unharmed?!
Chen Mu couldn’t help but squint at the water ape shaking its head in the distance.
Roar!
The disoriented red-eyed water ape discovered Chen Mu at the same time and immediately roared, baring its fanged teeth, its eyes full of ferocity.
A live red-eyed water ape!
Hah!
Chen Mu grinned, revealing a row of sharp, fine teeth, "Let’s see what tricks you’ve got, you little red-haired monkey!"
As if sensing Chen Mu’s provocation, the red-haired water ape immediately placed six limbs on the ground, and its muscles tensed, with a surge of red light flowing through its fiery red fur.
Whirr!
A beam of red light shot out suddenly from its mouth.
Right on time!
"Qi Forbidden!"
Hum!
The swiftly approaching red light suddenly seemed to hit mud, its speed drastically reduced.

Chen Mu’s eyes were blood-red, his right hand clenched into a fist. In a flash, he disappeared, reappearing above the red light.
Boom!
The slender red beam was hammered by the fist but unexpectedly exploded into a crimson fireball three meters in diameter.
The scorching air current spread in all directions, instantly drying and flattening the tall grass around him.
Bang!
A pair of large hands burst through the fireball, waving left and right, dispersing it into sparks.
Feeling a slight burning pain on his palms, Chen Mu let out a hearty laugh.
"Too weak, too weak, too weak! No strength to hit people, how are you going to survive out here? Come at me with one more..."
Before he could finish his trash talk, he noticed that the water monkey over a hundred meters away had already vanished!
Six to seven hundred meters away, a fiery figure was using all six limbs to scramble into the bushes, sneaking through the grass with a conspiratorial speed.
Fired a shot and ran off?
A man-monkey never looks back at the explosion?
Weren’t you so fierce just now?!
Why so cowardly!
Chen Mu frowned unhappily, ready to give chase immediately.
As if sensing Chen Mu’s intentions, the monkey’s body flashed with red light, and a burst of flames exploded behind its buttocks, sending the monkey soaring out like a baseball, propelled by the blast for several miles.
Then, with its fur singed black on the rear, it made a few bounces before vanishing into the dense underbrush in the blink of an eye.
Chen Mu: "..."
Respect!
...
Thousand Lanterns City, a brightly lit courtyard.
Feng Qianli bowed slightly, carefully responding to Chen Mu’s queries.
"Don’t be scared, once you’re in Thousand Lanterns City, you’re with your own people," Chen Mu tried to appear friendly.
Feng Qianli nodded respectfully but seemed even more restrained.
He hadn’t forgotten the excited expression on Chen Mu’s face as he tore through the fireball with his bare hands. Looking at the gentle young man now, who seemed completely different, he thought this lord of the Netherworld soldiers might be... somewhat unusual.
Chen Mu shook his head helplessly. The True Form of Heavenly Demon was indeed different from Qi Cultivation, not as calm and balanced.
Though he no longer had the wild devouring desire of the Five Ghosts Possession, once he used his ability, he couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement, causing his behavior to become slightly... unrestrained.
Tsk! This is not the style I want.
Chen Mu was mulling over this for a moment but soon became engrossed in what Feng Qianli was recounting.
"My name is Feng Qianli, of the Cai Yuan Department’s Twelve Banners Division."
"Last night..."
"I don’t exactly know what happened last night," Feng Qianli said with a heavy expression.
"We were resting in our barracks, as usual, when we were awakened by a loud explosion. Rushing out, we saw flames everywhere within the camp, filled with roars and screams."
"Then came panic and fleeing. We were swept up in the crowd running north. Later, for some reason, we turned east and then ran into other auxiliary soldiers."
"I thought we’d be safer with more people, but to my surprise, the assault was relentless, with large groups of water monkeys ambushing us from ahead, scattering the team instantly."
"We had no choice but to pick a direction and flee for our lives."
"Do you know which unit those auxiliary soldiers you linked up with are from?" Chen Mu couldn’t help but ask for confirmation.
"We were too far apart to make contact, but I saw from a distance someone using the Flame Wheel Vehicle to transport supplies, so the Flame Moving Division must be involved," Feng Qianli reported truthfully.
That settles it, most of the auxiliary soldiers that escaped must be in this direction.
But... but they’ve been scattered to hell!
Without those auxiliary soldiers, how am I supposed to return to the Netherworld?
Chen Mu suddenly felt a tingle on his scalp.
