Shocking! A man was pursued by a naked woman because he was too handsome!
"Achoo~~"
In a corner of the Spiritual Road Plane, the son of Zhou Ye, chief general of the Hundred Spirit Continent.
Zhou Yuan suddenly sneezed several times. He rubbed his nose and muttered absentmindedly:
"Strange. Could I have caught a chill?"
"Ever since I entered the Sensing Realm, I haven't been sick once."
"I wonder where His Highness the Heir is?"
He was very lucky. He had already reunited with several friends, and they were fighting together.
The girl carried a giant Crescent Moon Blade in one hand while summoning a brightly colored red dress from the Mustard Seed Bracelet on her wrist. She slipped it on with astonishing speed.
She had a fair, pretty oval face and a petite, delicate frame. Her long black hair had been skillfully braided into a ponytail that fell to her slender waist.
It swayed with every twist of her lithe body.
All in all, she was a striking young woman with a very distinct personality.
Even in this state, she kept getting faster.
Mu Chen used his movement technique and raced ahead, trying to put some distance between them.
His tall frame darted through the woods, vaulting over obstacles as nimbly as an ape.
Over bushes, around boulders, and across ancient trees.
"This girl's seriously wild."
He glanced back at the petite figure hot on his heels and felt a headache coming on.
She hadn't even put her clothes on before deciding to chase him down, blade in hand.
Even Hong Ling, his fiery, flirtatious senior, couldn't hold a candle to her.
"Pervert, stop right there!"
"Miss, you've got the wrong idea. I'm not interested in you at all. The points in your Blood-Colored Token are my real target."
"Ahhh! Die!"
Mu Chen tried to turn and explain, but for some reason, the woman seemed even angrier after hearing him. You're lying! How could anyone in the world not be interested in me?
With a rumble, the giant Crescent Moon Blade came crashing down, sending shattered rocks flying everywhere.
Fortunately, Mu Chen dodged every strike without so much as a scratch.
"Miss, what's your name?"
"You're clearly skilled, so I imagine you come from a prominent family. You can't be a nobody. Our elders might even know each other."
When explaining didn't work, Mu Chen tried to make friendly conversation.
The quality of that giant Crescent Moon Blade was nearly on par with the quasi-divine Demon-Subduing Staff his father had painstakingly crafted for him. It contained spiritual light, as though it had given birth to its own spirit.
Ordinary warriors were lucky to own one or two low- or mid-grade Spirit Artifacts.
High-grade and supreme-grade Spirit Artifacts were mostly in the hands of experts at the Divine Soul Realm and above.
As for divine artifacts, they were usually wielded by Sovereigns.
Anyone at the mere Sensing Realm who owned a quasi-divine artifact likely had a Sovereign backing their family.
"Little thief Zhou Yuan, remember that the one who kills you is Wu Yingying!"
The red-dressed girl, petite and delicate since birth, sneered at his words.
As she spoke, her long, straight legs stamped down hard. The clearly defined muscles in her calves showed that she was a martial artist who had trained for years.
A thunderous crash shook the earth. The ground cracked, and dust billowed into the air.
Using the recoil from the ground, she twisted her lithe body and shot skyward.
"Wu Yingying? It's her, the Heavenly King Wu's granddaughter."
Across the way, several pieces of information quickly surfaced in Mu Chen's mind.
Wu Yingying was the daughter of the Heavenly King Wu, head of Wu Ling Academy, one of the Five Great Academies.
Her brother, Wu Ling, was the future top disciple of Wu Ling Academy and would make a name for himself in the Academy Tournament.
Since Wu Yingying was here, Wu Ling must be on this plane as well.
In the brief moment he was distracted, the mysterious woman calling herself Wu Yingying descended from the sky and slammed into the ground, leaving a deep crater and cutting off his path.
"You're Wu Yingying? May I ask what the Heavenly King Wu is to you?"
Seeing that she was about to attack without a word, Mu Chen immediately called out to her.
"Go ask Ksitigarbha in the underworld!"
Like a young leopard just released from its cage, Wu Yingying's gaze was wild and untamed. She wouldn't listen to a word of his nonsense and raised her blade to strike.
Clang! A flash of crimson blade-light, and the giant Crescent Moon Blade vanished from sight.
In the Great Thousand World, where Daoism and Buddhism existed, so too did the underworld and the belief in Ksitigarbha.
(The Daoist Sect's Ancestral Court was the Ancient Heavenly Palace on Tianluo Continent.
The Master of the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Emperor, cultivated the Daoist Sect Divine Ability, One Qi Transforms into Three Purities.
The Buddhist Sect's orthodox lineage was at Spirit Mountain.
The Evil Clan from Beyond was watching covetously, while Saint Grade giants guarded the Great Thousand World's front lines.
The Sword Domain lay in the Extreme East Land, the Martial Border in the Extreme Southern Land, and the Endless Fire Domain in the Extreme North. In the Extreme Western Land lay the little-known Western Heaven Continent.
The master of the Western Heaven War Hall, the War Emperor, was merely Immortal Grade.
The ones shouldering the duty of defending the Extreme Western Land were the Buddhist Sect of Spirit Mountain.
The Master of Spirit Mountain, the World Honored One, led the bodhisattvas of the various realms, the eight hundred arhats, and countless nuns, guarding the front lines day and night as they faced off against the Evil Clan from Beyond.
This renowned Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign, this giant of the Buddhist Sect, was also respectfully known throughout the Great Thousand World as Tathagata Buddha!)
Damn!
Mu Chen cursed under his breath and narrowly dodged the terrifying strike.
Swish, swish, swish! Before he could catch his breath, a barrage of blade-light descended once more, covering him completely and aiming straight for his vital points.
Each strike was more vicious and faster than the last.
"Damn it! Why are you so slippery, like a loach?"
Wu Yingying propped herself up with her blade, panting as she stared at the white-robed youth.
She hadn't just failed to hit him; she hadn't even touched the hem of his clothes.
"Fine."
Mu Chen's eyes narrowed as irritation began to rise.
Her moves were full of killing intent, each one pressing forward without hesitation. There was no chance she'd change her approach.
In other words, the girl had no intention of holding back. She really was trying to kill him.
Once Mu Chen realized there was no reasoning with Wu Yingying, he stopped restraining himself and struck back.
If he didn't capture her, there was no way this would end peacefully.
Mu Chen attacked without holding anything back, and Wu Yingying was immediately thrown into disarray.
This was no longer the playful sparring from before. The longer they fought, the more alarmed she became.
She had been extraordinarily gifted from childhood, devoted herself to the martial path, and received instruction from the head of Wu Ling Academy. The academy had poured countless resources into raising her, and she was every bit her brother Wu Ling's equal.
Even the Academy Guardian admired her greatly and had considered taking her as a disciple.
After all, the Academy Guardian was a legendary super divine beast, Xuan—
Yet she couldn't gain the slightest advantage against this mysterious youth of unknown origins. Instead, she was steadily losing ground, her room to move shrinking step by step.
Who was this man?
"Distracted while fighting me?"
The moment Mu Chen spotted an opening, he struck without hesitation, chopping down with the edge of his hand.
Whoosh! Wu Yingying snapped back to her senses, alarmed, and hurriedly pulled her blade back to defend.
Years of relentless training had ingrained her moves in her bones, turning them into muscle memory. Even in her panic, she managed an exceptionally clean horizontal slash.
Even the most exacting martial arts master wouldn't have found fault with it.
Unfortunately, she was up against Mu Chen.
Mu Chen feinted. His five fingers clenched, and in one fluid motion, his palm became a fist. Like a cannonball, it shot straight toward her abdomen.
Wu Yingying scrambled to dodge, only to find that the weapon in her hand had been knocked away.
As she reached for it, his elbow drove into her lower abdomen.
Pff! The stubborn girl gave a muffled groan and crumpled to the ground.
I, Wu Yingying, have been laid out here!
