Little Girl

They were currently on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, which was still relatively safe for Ye Mo. However, it was probably impossible to find Soul Rings suitable for him here.

Ye Mo did not know what attribute his Millennial Fox Martial Soul possessed. Could it be a spatial attribute?

It should be a spatial attribute. That would make finding a suitable soul beast difficult.

After casually killing a group of Wind Baboons, Ye Mo continued deeper into the forest. Yet something felt strange. By all logic, the deeper he went, the more soul beasts he should encounter.

Why had he only run into a group of Wind Baboons?

Suddenly, a cold gust struck from behind, carrying an oppressive force.

An ambush?

Ye Mo smiled. Trying to ambush him?

Streaks of purple light emerged beneath his feet. A deep-purple Soul Ring circled Ye Mo, flickering once.

Thud!

The attacker missed. Before it stood only a faint purple glow in the shape of a fox.

Ye Mo finally saw what had attacked him. It was a yellow python over thirty feet long. Judging by its aura, it possessed the strength of a thousand-year soul beast.

When he had used his Spatial Soul Skill just now, his Millennial Fox Martial Soul had become even more restless. To be safe, he should use his second martial soul instead.

"Perfect. I'll use you to test my new Soul Ring." Ye Mo looked indifferently at the python before him. His aura changed, and blue arcs of electricity filled the air around him. A faint blue radiance also covered his purple, bewitching eyes, making him look incomparably domineering.

The Thunder Shadow Sword appeared behind Ye Mo and trembled faintly, as though the strange face on its hilt were laughing.

Ye Mo grabbed the Thunder Shadow Sword, and a deep-purple Soul Ring rose beneath his feet.

Hiss!

The yellow python flicked its tongue and attacked first. Soul beasts at its level were far from stupid; it had clearly realized that Ye Mo was about to use a Soul Skill.

Its massive tail swept toward Ye Mo. Ye Mo disdainfully watched the tail coming at him as the purple Soul Ring floating beside him flickered.

His entire body, sword included, transformed into a streak of blue light surrounded by countless bolts of lightning, crashing fiercely into the enormous tail.

Squelch!

A section of the huge tail was actually severed.

As the green glow slowly faded, Ye Mo looked at the fallen tail and nodded in satisfaction. "This Soul Skill isn't bad. It's powerful enough."

Hiss!

The yellow python let out a pained cry, writhing its enormous injured body. Its originally emerald-green eyes became bloodshot.

It had actually had its tail cut off by this tiny human. What utter humiliation!

A powerful wave of Soul Power erupted from its body. It was preparing to fight for its life.

Green flames erupted from the yellow python's body as it charged at Ye Mo at incredible speed. Just as it neared him, it opened its mouth to an astonishing extent, releasing an indescribably foul stench.

It moved so quickly that although Ye Mo reacted, he had no time to dodge. He had no choice but to take it head-on.

The Thunder Shadow Sword pressed directly against the python's mouth, radiating blue light. Flames were also burning inside the python's mouth.

The flames seemed to form the creature's armor. They blocked the Thunder Shadow Sword outside, making it impossible for the blade to pierce through.

To maintain the Thunder Shadow Sword Martial Soul's physical form, Ye Mo's Soul Power was being consumed at an accelerated rate.

But the yellow python could not do anything to Ye Mo either. That terrifying Soul Skill had inflicted such grievous wounds upon it in an instant. Left with no alternative, it could only rely on its trump card. Only by exhausting the human's Soul Power could it possibly win.

One man and one snake faced off like this.

So it wanted to fight an endurance battle? Ye Mo raised an eyebrow. Then this was absolutely the dumb snake's worst decision.

True Essence rapidly circulated within Ye Mo's body, converting into Soul Power at the same time. His rapidly depleting Soul Power not only stopped falling, but began to slowly recover.

After a while, the flames on the yellow python gradually dimmed. Meanwhile, the Thunder Shadow Sword in Ye Mo's hand shone with dazzling blue light, and the lightning around it grew increasingly intense.

At the instant the flames were about to go out, the yellow python suddenly clamped its jaws around the Thunder Shadow Sword and violently flung its head. Ye Mo was instantly hurled dozens of meters away.

Ye Mo had already been prepared for this sudden move.

The Soul Ring beneath his feet flickered once more. His body again turned into a streak of blue light as he slashed at the head of the fleeing yellow python.

Squelch! The yellow python's entire head was sliced off. Its body twitched a few times before falling stiffly to the ground.

A faint-purple Soul Ring floated up from the yellow python's corpse. Judging by its aura, it was roughly two thousand years old.

"I actually fought a two-thousand-year soul beast for this long. That really feels like a failure." Ye Mo sighed as he released the Thunder Shadow Sword in his hand. The entire sword silently sank back into his body.

If ordinary Soul Elders heard this, they would definitely want to strangle Ye Mo. Even they would not dare guarantee victory over a two-thousand-year soul beast, yet he, a mere level-twenty Soul Master, had managed to defeat one.

This was simply heaven-defying.

"Big brother, you're amazing!" A young girl's immature voice rang out.

What was that?

Ye Mo looked around and saw a purple-haired, purple-eyed girl standing not far away. She appeared to be only around ten years old.

Her eyes differed from Ye Mo's. They were clear and bright, as though filled with starlight.

She wore a purple dress, making her look like a little angel.

Ye Mo quietly observed the little girl. He would not be fooled by her expression. He had nearly entered the inner regions of the Star Dou Great Forest; anyone who could stand safely near him was certainly no ordinary person.

"What is it, big brother? Why are you staring at me like that?" The little girl looked at Ye Mo with a playful smile, her voice full of cheer.

"Who are you? Why are you here? This isn't a place someone helpless can come to." Ye Mo stared intently at the girl before him. Strangely, he felt a sense of familiarity from her.

"Me? I'm waiting for someone—for someone destined by fate." The little girl put away her playful expression and looked seriously at Ye Mo.

Someone destined by fate?

Suddenly, the Millennial Fox Martial Soul in his mind began to stir. It became so agitated that Ye Mo could not suppress it at all.

Did this damn thing take Viagra or something?

Ye Mo clutched his head. The Millennial Fox Martial Soul even sent him a message: it wanted to leave his body.
