Chapter 278

Lan Feng

Tian Ran was disappointed it was Mu Yu’s voice but wasn’t Mu Yu’s appearance. She wanted to giggle and cry in his arms. She thought she imagined the stranger was Mu Yu because she missed him.

Tian Ran politely smiled. “Be careful.”

Tian Ran recomposed herself and politely nodded. If the stranger was defeated, she intended to fight again. She turned around and began to walk, but she stopped and asked, “Can you tell me your name?”

Mu Yu chuckled under his breath. “Is it important?”

Tian Ran: Yeah, why did I even ask? He’s just replacing me.

“My name is Lan Feng.”

Tian Ran acknowledged she heard him and left. Goddess Piaomiao attended to Tian Ran’s needs and let the latter meditate. Mu Yu wreathed thin plants around his sword. Because Tian Ran recognised his swordplay, he needed to end his match before she opened her eyes.

Though Mu Yu’s aura was familiar, the white ape fiend king didn’t recall seeing him before. His gut told him something was amiss, so he cautioned, “Bai Ling, you go. Be careful. He doesn’t look weak.”

Bai Ling was a hundred spirit bird fiend. If it wasn’t for the beautiful feathers on her head, nobody would define her as a bird fiend. She assumed an astral form and confronted Mu Yu. “Fiend race’s Bai Ling.”

“Humanity’s Lan Feng.”

The fiend king sent out a snake fiend, which was an even easier opponent for Mu Yu. Mu Yu wasted no time dispatching the snake fiend.

“You still have another Primordial Infant Realm challenger, don’t you?” questioned Mu Yu, frigidly looking upon the fiend king out of anger the trouble the latter gave him.

Cang Wanzi saw hope in Mu Yu. If Mu Yu could win the last bout, humanity would have proven their dominance. As for the Body Severing Realm matches, he planned to instruct Mu Yu to drag out the last match so as to supply their reinforcements with more time.

“We want to switch to the Body Severing Realm matches now,” replied the fiend king.

The white ape fiend king planned to leverage the absence of humanity’s better Body Severing Realm cultivators to his advantage. If they could win the Body Severing Realm matches, they would’ve rendered Mu Yu’s wins in vain. It wasn’t against the rules to switch class partway through the contest.

Mu Yu had the same idea as Cang Wanzi in mind. Unfortunately, they went out the window. Mu Yu, therefore, pointed his sword at the fiend king and cajoled, “We’ll have to fight sooner or later? Are all of you so fussy?”

Suddenly, Mu Yu’s sword revealed the wood and water spirit’s auras. The water spirit celebrated because it saw Qiao Xue. It was only for a second, but she sensed her water spirit’s presence. She was certain she didn’t mistake her water spirit’s aura. Their parting scene and words floated into her mind again, flustering her.

Qiao Xue: Why can I sense the water spirit’s aura from him? That’s not Mu Yu, though.

Qiao Xue stepped forward and offered, “I shall fight you.”

“Qiao Xue, stand back,” demanded the fiend king, wanting to prioritise their plan.

“I can defeat him, Grandpa Ape.” Qiao Xue flew up to confront Mu Yu.
