More Flesh-Winged Horny Monsters
Walking through a water screen after deliberation, Mu Yu entered a pitch-black world, forcing him to use Shadow Splitter Sword as light to check the entrance.
“Now we’re on the thirty-ninth floor? Are we just randomly floor hopping? Is this a test of luck” Xiaoshuai questioned.
“Let’s check out this floor for now. This breeze and weird mumbling that sounds akin to someone grinding their teeth on this floor gives me the creeps,” muttered the dragon vine.
“Let there be light!” chanted Xiaoshuai, clicking his finger to levitate several luminous pearls. “This place is comparable to a prison with all the luminous iron bars.”
Mu Yu tried to light up the iron bars to his left in hopes of viewing what was inside. Nevertheless, a formation prevented him from getting close, while the darkness behind the bars devoured the light.
Bang! A horn slammed against the iron bars, and a hideous face jumped forward.
“Mamma mia, an orange flesh-winged horny monster!” Xiaoshuai shouted.
“It really is…”
“Human! It has been millenniums since I’ve seen one. Ah, how nostalgic, kikiki.”
“A lowly human?”
“Oh, it really is an ant! Release us now!”
“How many are there…” remarked Mu Yu, seeing one flesh-winged horny monster after the other as they began rioting on the bars, wearing smirks as if they lorded over him.
The monsters that had been segregated according to their colours had weakened for some reason, possessing, at most, Spirit Severing Realm power.
A yellow monster questioned, “That Xuan Jizi send you here?”
“No, he carries Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s sword qi. He must be Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s disciple!”
“Him?! I can’t wait to rip him limb from limb! How dare he lock us up here for five thousand years and sabotage our plan to destroy Third Heaven!”
“How about you fix your appearances, learn to threaten people and use your puny brains to escape before you run your mouth,” insulted Mu Yu.
“Hubristic boy, you want to be first on the list of humans we kill? We’ll kill you humans, then wipe out the fiends and, if the elemental demons cooperate, wait, you have the qi of an elemental demon!” noted a purple flesh-winged horny monster.
“Humans and elemental demons bear a striking resemblance in appearance, but their auras are distinct. This kid is some sort of hybrid?”
“Since when were elemental demons capable of reproduction? They were the only race at Third Heaven incapable of reproducing with other races, weren’t they?”
“Who are your parents?”
Irate over the condescending tone they interrogated him with, Mu Yu replied, “You want to know who my parents are?”
“Yes, so spill their names!”
“My father is Emperor Mu, and my father is Empress Zhu. My adopted father’s name is King Ku Mu.”
“Never heard of them.”
“Is your father or your mother an elemental demon?”
“You don’t even recognise them? Ignorance is your forte, eh?”
“Are they famous humans?”
“We’ve never feared anyone besides Sword Shadow Dust Gale and his buddies.”
“Of course they’re famous. Whenever members of lunar sect meet them, they call my parents ‘My Lord’. What do you think you should be calling me?”
“Young Master?”
“Good boy. Xiaoshuai, give him a bone.”
Xiaoshuai generously poured a pouch of melon seeds in.
“I will kill you, you lowly human!”
“Ptoo, where do you ugly things with latrines for parents get your sense of superiority from? Sit down!” Mu Yu kicked the bar since they kept barking. “Pipe down. Look at where you are, and behave as you should!”
Mu Yu assumed there was a reason his shifu didn’t kill the captives, especially since Illusionary Clear Rain warned White Ape Archfiend against it.
The cages went up to the ceiling and weren’t lined up in columns as commonly seen in prisons. Instead, they were set criss-crossing each other, creating forks in the road. If Mu Yu’s mathematics weren’t wrong, there were over ten thousand of the freaks locked up on the thirty-ninth floor.
“These freaks almost wiped out Third Heaven if it wasn’t for Shifu and his allies, yet the world of cultivation is totally oblivious. Bai Jie is a selfish piece of crap!”
“Mu Yu, White Ape Archfiend mentioned they aren’t easy to kill? If they can’t be killed, doesn’t it mean Chi Yue will revive?” asked the dragon vine.
Mu Yu stopped in his tracks. “If that’s true, then Chi Yue is a hazard on the loose…”
