Precipice Blades

After Mew deflected Dai Mubai's attack, it slightly raised its little head. A tiny character meaning "big" appeared on its forehead, then shot toward Dai Mubai.

The flaming character grew larger after leaving Mew. Fire Blast activated, and by the time it reached Dai Mubai, it had become an enormous Fire Blast.

It sent Dai Mubai flying. Zhao Wuji was the first to check on him.

Dai Mubai had been charred pitch-black, and thick black smoke billowed from his mouth whenever he opened it.

Seeing that Dai Mubai was alright, Zhao Wuji sighed in relief before glaring fiercely at Mew, who had come over to watch the show.

Without wasting words, Zhao Wuji activated his Martial Soul Possession. Seven soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—appeared beneath his feet.

"First Soul Skill, Unmoving Vajra Body!"

"Second Soul Skill, Great Vajra Palm!"

Golden light enveloped his body as Zhao Wuji raised his hand and unleashed a massive, heavy vajra palm.

Mew vanished in a teleport. By the time Zhao Wuji spotted it again, it had already condensed a Shadow Ball.

It hurled it straight at Zhao Wuji.

With a thunderous boom, a wave of energy rippled outward.

Zhao Wuji's vision darkened, and his skin burned with corrosive pain.

Daring not let his guard down, Zhao Wuji endured the dizzying urge to pass out. "Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

Black light surged. Zhao Wuji transformed into a gigantic Mighty Vajra Bear.

He viciously slapped down at Mew.

Mew teleported away again. After dodging, it looked at the huge bear.

Then it suddenly transformed into Groudon, over ten meters tall. Lava churned across the ground as the crimson beast emerged, trampling the earth apart. Though it was already night, the sky abruptly cleared, and an extra sun appeared overhead.

"What?"

Before he could recover from his shock, Groudon, transformed from Mew, unleashed Precipice Blades.

Molten giant blades tore through the earth, and blazing crimson edges cleaved down.

Rumble—

Splat—

The giant bear Zhao Wuji had transformed into was sent flying. He crashed through an entire swath of bamboo forest before barely coming to a stop.

Blood poured uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth as he coughed.

In terror, he stared at the crimson beast over ten meters tall, now three or four kilometers away.

The hell? That thing was transformed from a cat?

Zhao Wuji now wanted nothing more than to strangle Dai Mubai. This was the damn effeminate cat you told me about?

"Damn it! Looks like I'm done for today."

The commotion here also attracted most of those who had been cultivating.

Their first reaction upon seeing Groudon was that it was some terrifyingly powerful soul beast, and they scattered in all directions.

Only Tang San remained calm when he saw Groudon capable of summoning the sun.

After all, he had been beaten up by it more than once or twice. Without Luo Yihe's bastardly commands, that cat was actually quite kind. It would never kill anyone. If it injured you, it would even heal your wounds afterward!

Huo Yuhao and the others were nowhere near as calm, shouting in terror, "Run! It could very well be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

Tang San remained composed. "Stop yelling. It's Luo Yihe's Martial Soul. It won't attack people on its own, much less kill anyone."

"What?" ×4

"It, it, it's Luo Yihe's Martial Soul?"

Tang San said, "Yes and no. Luo Yihe's Martial Soul is a cat, but it can transform into all sorts of soul beasts."

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth. "Judging by the way it looks, it seems like it's more than just a transformation, isn't it?"

Tang San nodded at Ning Rongrong appreciatively.

At last, Ning Rongrong was not as stupid as Dai Mubai and the others. They had already been beaten senseless twice, yet they still had not learned their lesson.

The moment Tang San saw Groudon, he knew someone had meant Luo Yihe harm. Now that Dai Mubai was nowhere to be seen and a Mighty Vajra Bear lay in the distance coughing up blood, Tang San could have figured out what had happened without even using his brain.

Tang San took a deep breath and still walked over, shouting at Groudon, "Mew, stop fighting! They just wanted to play a game with you. You've already won, and they surrender."

The enormous molten beast abruptly disappeared, changing back into Mew's form. It turned to look at Tang San, then flew toward him.

"Meow, meow!"

Seeing someone here who recognized it, Mew flew over to greet Tang San. However, Tang San was utterly confused and could not understand a word Mew was saying.

Mew did not seem to mind. It kept chirping "meow, meow" to itself, then finally clutched its belly and laughed merrily.

Tang San and Ning Rongrong, who had followed him over, were both covered in question marks.

But the instant Ning Rongrong saw Mew, her eyes sparkled with little stars.

It's way too cute!

Moreover, she had heard Tang San introduce Luo Yihe's Martial Soul before. It had left Luo Yihe four years ago, and no one knew where it had gone. They only knew that Luo Yihe's Martial Soul was incredibly strong, but rather foolish—ah, no, it possessed a pure childlike heart.

A light called wisdom gleamed in Ning Rongrong's eyes.

In one go, she took out everything she had on her and placed it before Mew. Smiling sweetly, she said, "You're Mew, right? I'm Ning Rongrong, and I'm very close with your master. Is there anything here that you like? I'll give it to you."

"Meow?"

Mew circled Ning Rongrong twice, then flew over to the gems, gold, silver, and jewelry she had laid out.

"Meow?"

Mew pointed at the pile of gems, then pointed at itself. Ning Rongrong was overjoyed. Though she did not understand what Mew had said, she could tell from it pointing at itself and the gems that the cat probably liked gemstones.

Ning Rongrong picked out the largest pink gemstone and handed it to Mew.

"Meow, meow!"

Hugging the pink gemstone, which was even bigger than itself, Mew happily spun around in place.

Seeing that Mew seemed very happy, Ning Rongrong cautiously reached out to touch it. Mew did not refuse. It flew directly onto Ning Rongrong's head and sat there, still holding the large gemstone in its hands.

Ning Rongrong was delighted beyond measure. She absolutely adored the cat before her. Not only was it cute, but its combat power was also unbelievably strong. It had actually defeated Zhao Wuji in an instant. If I could coax it back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...

Can't think about it, can't think about it. It's too tempting. First, I need to build a good relationship with it. What if it ends up liking me and insists on coming home with me?

Hehehe!

When Tang San and the others appeared, supporting Zhao Wuji and carrying Dai Mubai, they all stared in surprise at Mew perched atop Ning Rongrong's head.

Tang San said in surprise, "Rongrong, I didn't expect you to get along with Mew so quickly. Could you ask it to heal Teacher Zhao and Boss Dai?"

Ning Rongrong curled her lips. She was unwilling to do so. What if Mew came to see this as a transaction because of those two?

Her, Young Miss Ning Rongrong's ultimate plan—[coax Mew away and bring it back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect]—

Had not even gotten past its first step. How could she let a teacher she had only known for a few days and someone who had insulted her ruin her plan?

Although Ning Rongrong thought so inwardly, what she said was another matter.

"I've only just met Mew myself. I gave it a gemstone, and it seems to like it, which is why it has become close to me. I'm not sure whether it can help, but I'll try."

"Uh, thank you."

Zhao Wuji was still somewhat frightened of that cat. Although Tang San had explained Mew to him clearly on the way back, Mew had nearly beaten him to death just moments ago, so Zhao Wuji was still rather scared.
