Chapter 102 One Arm
"Do you know what a Nen Beast is? I've been wondering how there could be something that can ignore my defenses, and now it seems that's indeed possible. So what is a Nen Beast?"
"I know more than you do." After all, Hua Yang was Hua Xiao's teacher, and he knew far more about his teacher's spirit beast than outsiders.
"You know that much. I've never seen a Mind Beast, only heard about it. The Mind Beast race is basically extinct, with only the one on Hua Yang's body remaining. It's a kind of spatial being, existing only in space, it is space itself. You know what abilities the Mind Beast on Hua Yang has; it doesn't exist in the real world!"
The non-existence of the mortal realm means that space itself must be shattered to harm this beastly demon, and what can shatter space...
Very few, really very few. Even spatial magic of the highest order cannot break through it. The Death Axis may seem to have broken through space, but that is not the case.
That only breaks the surface of the space; it's far from shattering the space itself.
If the space cannot be broken, the beast demon cannot be harmed. This is a complete dead end, and there is no way to deal with it.
"Don't worry, he will appear in the real world when he attacks, and we won't be able to hit him then." Hua Xiao wasn't too worried. If it really was that Nen Beast, it would be easier to deal with. The real fear was that it wasn't that Nen Beast, or that the Nen Beast's ability was only one of its many uses. That would be the most terrifying thing.
"Looks like you've already figured it out." Jiuying chuckled to himself. This flying beast was his masterpiece, a masterpiece that could only be completed in the Helan Mountains!
Wu Ku retreated a little, realizing that his role was no longer significant and that his priority now was to ensure his own safety.
The Flying Beast Demon is not making a move because it is wary of Hua Xiao. Hua Xiao can shatter space, but it is extremely difficult, so it has not made a move. Although the Flying Beast Demon is not in the mortal world, it must appear if it wants to make a move. As long as it appears, Hua Xiao will definitely teach it a lesson.
With twenty-four times the power of ice and nine-fold spiritual strength, just one of these would be enough to qualify as a Saint-level mage, but Hua Xiao possesses two. Her power is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. The prestige of being among the top ten Saint-level mages in the country is such that even a Great Monarch-level demon would not dare to act rashly.
Wu Ku was somewhat relieved that Hua Xiao had come here. It wasn't that Jiang Shaotian and Jiang Shaoli were weak; they were just as terrifyingly strong. However, they didn't cultivate the space system, and their spiritual power was not high enough to make this beastly demon fear them.
He hasn't made a move yet because of Hua Xiao's terrifying mental strength; he knows this woman can counter him instantly.
On the other side, Yukihime's ice and snow were still covering the area. Two of the three flying beast demons had already been killed, and the remaining one was at its last gasp and could be killed at any moment.
Jiuying only glanced at them and then ignored them. They were just a few beastly demons; their deaths were no big deal.
Even if they all came, it wouldn't make any difference.
Jiang Shaoqing remained in place. Although he was a powerful super-level mage, he seemed to be of little use here. Moreover, he was injured and could not fully exert his strength. He could only stand on the outside and serve as a deterrent.
Jiuying suddenly turned around and glanced at Jiang Shaoqing. Jiang Shaoqing wondered why Jiuying was looking at him, but then realized that Jiuying was not looking at him, but at those who had already left.
"Judging by the time, they should be going in soon. I wonder what interesting things will happen." Jiuying chuckled twice.
There's no rush now. We can go after we've cleaned up the people here.
……
Ye Quan led Su Ming and hurried inside, moving very quickly, but they still didn't find the group of people who had left earlier.
They left only a little earlier than Su Ming, but now they've vanished without a trace.
This puzzled them, and after chasing for a while, they stopped.
"Disappeared?"
"No...this isn't disappearing, they've been trapped in some kind of space." Su Ming narrowed his eyes. Although he was weak, he was still a space-type mage, and his perception of space was not weak.
"Everything is normal here, but this is the most abnormal person." Su Ming squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, and carefully sensed his surroundings.
Suddenly, it felt like something was calling to him from somewhere, a very familiar feeling.
"Did you hear anything?" Su Ming asked.
"No." Ye Quan shook his head. "This place is different from when I first came here. It's possible that the cardinal did something, or it could be a change in Helan Mountain itself. Be careful; anything here could be fatal."
Ye Quan is helpless now; things have changed, and he is no longer familiar with this place.
Su Ming frowned. Ye Quan hadn't heard the sound, but he had definitely heard it, and it was still calling him.
"Xiao Qing!"
Su Ming called out in his heart, but there was still no response.
Is it Bifang?
This is Bi Fang's territory. Su Ming thinks that the voice might be Bi Fang. If it is her, then there should be no danger. If it is not, then it will be troublesome.
"You heard the sound?" Ye Quan asked, seeing Su Ming's expression.
"Hmm, there's a voice calling me, and it keeps calling. I've never heard it before, it's right there." There was nothing in the place Su Ming was pointing to, exactly the same path he came from, with only trees and an unusually flat area.
"Let's go, let's keep walking and see." Staying here isn't going to work, so Ye Quan decided to follow the voice that Su Ming was pointing to.
Perhaps we can find some clues.
Just as Ye Quan was about to move, he tripped over something. He quickly regained his balance and looked down to check.
It was an arm, a severed arm, and judging by its freshness, it must have been just severed, which made him squint.
Ye Quan and Su Ming exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat uneasy.
This hand most likely belongs to that group from before. They may have encountered danger. There were seven super-level mages in a group, and even so, there was still a severed limb left behind, which means that the other party encountered a very terrifying danger.
Even Ye Quan would be at a disadvantage given the level of danger involved. After all, there were seven super-level mages, and Ye Quan alone was no match for them. If they encountered them, the situation would likely be even worse.
Perhaps the outcome wouldn't be just losing an arm.
"Without any other limbs, perhaps they just suffered in silence." Su Ming tried to think positively, after all, as a mid-level mage, he would be the first to be in danger of this magnitude.
"I hope so," Ye Quan sighed, believing the chances of escaping unscathed were extremely slim.
But now all we can do is pray for them, since we can't even find them.
Although there are no demons in Helan Mountain, the level of danger is still high. This is why a super-level mage lost his hand. It can only be said that the truly terrifying beings are not the demons that flaunt their power in the open, but the beings that lurk in the shadows.
