The others gathered around at this moment, and Shen Yao patted Mu Guiyun on the shoulder, laughing, "You kid are something else! I never expected you to get your hands on something as rare as an Invincible Soul Guidance Barrier!"
As a Soul Engineer, he knew all too well just how precious this item was.
Although a seventh-level Invincible Soul Guidance Barrier could withstand the full-force attack of any powerhouse below the Super Doulu level for three seconds, it was a one-time consumable, and the cost of manufacturing it was prohibitively expensive.
Just how expensive? Let's just say that one swipe from the Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor was enough to shatter the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear right arm bone Mu Guiyun had been using.
"Guiyun, you are not allowed to pull such a dangerous stunt ever again, do you hear me?"
Due to the exhaustion of his soul power, Zhang Lexuan's face was pale, but she still spoke to Mu Guiyun with a stern expression, "Do you have any idea how perilous your actions just now were?"
"I understand, Senior Sister."
Mu Guiyun nodded obediently, then immediately changed the subject, "Let's hurry and check on that Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor. That is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast; it would be a huge pity if it managed to escape."
Though he said this, Mu Guiyun was certain in his heart that the creature had absolutely no chance of getting away.
The only thing he was worried about now was that he shouldn't accidentally kill it with a single punch...
That Dragon Scale contained the pure light power of Mu En; even without mentioning the Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor, even the Scarlet King would be severely injured if he took a hit from it.
The result was naturally as Mu Guiyun had expected. At this moment, the Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor not only had every bone in its body shattered, but the soul power within it had also been eroded into a mess by the light energy.
"Good thing it's not dead, otherwise I would have wasted a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring for nothing."
Seeing that the Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor still had a breath left, Mu Guiyun finally set his heart at ease, "Senior Sister, finish it off. It might be a bit difficult, but after all, it is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. I think it's worth the gamble!"
Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan stared fixedly at Mu Guiyun for a long time before the corners of her mouth finally curled into a smile, "Guiyun, thank you."
When the others heard that Mu Guiyun was handing the Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor over to Zhang Lexuan, the entire group was in an uproar. After the brief shock, a deep sense of admiration welled up in everyone's hearts.
Good heavens, that was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, and he was just giving them away like that!
"I have to hand it to you, your character is top-tier. From today on, you are my big brother!"
Shen Yao slowly gave Mu Guiyun a thumbs up.
If it were me, never mind Zhang Lexuan, even if my own father were here, I wouldn't do it!
Mu Guiyun didn't speak, just smiled simply.
If the others hadn't been there to distract the beast, he never would have succeeded in his sneak attack. Besides, he didn't need this Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor's soul ring, and he didn't even care for the soul bone...
Just as everyone was joking around, the dying Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor began to stir. It gathered its final strength and struggled to spit out a single sentence: "You... you damned humans!"
If one were to describe the Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor's current mood in two words, it would be "aggrieved"—it was aggrieved to the extreme!
It hadn't even had the chance to use its full strength, let alone its innate skills, before it was blindsided by Mu Guiyun.
Especially that golden dragon filled with terrifying pressure; it had nearly sent the Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor to meet its ancestors.
No, wait—it was about to meet its ancestors right now.
This battle seemed perilous, but in reality, the moment the moonlight was obscured, the outcome had already been decided.
The Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor's eyes were filled with resentment. It never expected that it would one day fall into the hands of someone so incredibly weak.
"Damn it..."
With hatred burning in its heart and knowing it was at a dead end, the Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor decisively chose to burn its own origin power to drag these hateful humans down with it.
"You want my soul ring and soul bone? Keep dreaming!"
The Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor's words were filled with madness, and the crescent moon mark on its forehead suddenly flared with light!
"Oh crap, it's going to self-destruct! Retreat!"
Mu Guiyun's eyelid twitched, and he hurriedly flapped the metallic six wings on his back.
Why did it have to turn into a suicide bomber at the drop of a hat? I've never heard of Moon-Eroding Wolves being a Middle Eastern breed!
Sensing the impending danger, the others also scrambled to get as far away from the Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor as possible.
The self-destruction of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was no laughing matter.
By the time everyone reached a safe distance, the Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor had already swollen into a giant sphere. The mere aura leaking from it made everyone break out in a cold sweat.
"Hahahaha! You damned humans, all of you can accompany me to the grave!"
Just as the soul power within the Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor reached its critical point and was about to explode, a sudden, bone-chilling coldness appeared out of thin air.
"Achoo! Why is it suddenly so cold..."
Wu Ming, who was flying toward the distance, sneezed, and before she could finish her sentence, she was frozen solid into an ice sculpture on the spot.
"Ming..."
In the span of a single breath, everyone except Mu Guiyun—thirteen people in total—was sealed within the ice. Even the self-destructing Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor was not spared.
What the hell is going on!
Mu Guiyun didn't have time to think. Just as he prepared to crush the jade pendant in his hand, he bizarrely discovered that a massive fissure had suddenly opened in the empty space not far ahead. The cold air seeping from it was so frigid that Mu Guiyun felt his very soul trembling!
"Woohoohoo~ I've finally found my chance! Such rare talent and spiritual power in this world—it's the best gift the heavens could have bestowed upon me! If only I could shed tears, I'd be weeping with joy right now!"
This voice!
Mu Guiyun's pupils contracted sharply. This voice was exactly the same as the one that had warned him about the Moon-Eroding Wolf Emperor's sneak attack!
"And this entrance... could it be..."
Mu Guiyun subconsciously associated this with the greatest cheat Old Huo possessed in the original Peerless Tang Sect.
The fissure in the ground only stopped expanding after reaching several dozen meters, and a figure wrapped in bone-chilling cold gradually emerged before Mu Guiyun's eyes.
What came into view was a giant ice silkworm, roughly six or seven meters in length, with a massive head alone measuring about a meter in diameter. Its entire body was the color of translucent white jade, and beneath its suet-like surface, a faint, flowing radiance shimmered.
What a huge maggot!
Upon noticing those ten iconic golden rings, Mu Guiyun became even more certain of his thoughts.
It's him, it's really him! Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!
An existence in the original work who was even more like a Child of Destiny than Old Huo!
Although Mu Guiyun remained expressionless, his heart was already surging with excitement, to the point where it was difficult to describe in words.
He had originally planned to wait for Old Huo to enroll and follow him to see if there was an opportunity, but he never expected that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm would deliver itself to his doorstep!
"You... who are you?"
Even though he already had the answer in his heart, Mu Guiyun still feigned ignorance and asked, "What did you do to Xiao Tao and the others?"
The perfectly measured suspicion and vigilance in his eyes did not make Sky Dream Ice Silkworm harbor any doubts toward Mu Guiyun.
"Aiya, there's no time to explain! You just need to know that Brother won't harm you!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm subconsciously looked toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, and a flicker of dread and hatred instantly rose in those comical little eyes.
You wretched bastards, to think you dared to treat Brother as a power bank; I see you have already chosen the path of death!
After dropping a few harsh threats in his heart, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm turned his gaze back to Mu Guiyun.
