Looking at the lute in Yun Sheng’s hand, everyone in the Bai Ren Sect was filled with doubts. Could it be that Miss Yun intends to use such a fragile-looking lute to grapple with the Red Fire Tree Centipede?

Buzz buzz——

Her delicate fingers descended, and in an instant, the magical light on the strings transformed into a cold gleam. In no time, the Zither Sound formed dozens of magical attacks more fierce than the light of blades and the shadows of arrows.

At first, the Zither Sound seemed unendingly gentle, yet its power was like a falling thunder.

The countless Zither Sounds transformed into Fireballs, Wind Blades, Earth Spurs, or Water Arrows, intermixed with Dark Attacks like black lightning.

These magical attacks showed no mercy, attacking from extremely tricky angles.

The pink Demon Beast perched on Yun Sheng’s shoulder occasionally flapped its fleshy wings.

"Dearest master, break its legs, blow its head apart!"

The magical attacks formed by the Zither Sound were even fiercer than those launched by Martial Emperor-level experts like Brother Ying Chuan.

The Red Fire Tree Centipede, with skin like bark, quickly developed scars all over its body.

Cold sweat dripped down the foreheads of those disciples from the Bai Ren Sect.

They suddenly realized that Miss Yun Sheng was an incredibly powerful expert; they had earlier thought she was just a weak "light punishment criminal."

The Tree Centipede, knowing the power of the Zither Sound, tried to burrow into the ground in the face of the attack.

Little did it know that the ground surged, and rows of sharp Dark Thorns shot up, piercing ruthlessly into the roots of the Red Fire Tree Centipede, causing it to emit sharp screeching cries.

Like a landslide, the Zither Sound, carrying Magic Power, struck toward the Tree Centipede’s waist.

Yun Sheng had already seen it clearly; the Tree Centipede, appearing as tough as old tree bark, was weakest at the waist where it burrows into the earth.

With a hissing sound, the Tree Centipede’s waist was sliced in half by a fierce Wind Blade Zither Sound, splattering pus-yellow fluid all over.

This attack was as crafty as it was ruthless, with power that was astonishing, causing the people of the Bai Ren Sect to change color involuntarily.

But Yun Sheng, in mid-air, remained calm and unruffled, as if she were merely playing a melodious Zither piece, not killing a Tree Centipede, as if she were under the moon, playing a Zither piece.

Upon witnessing this scene, no one was more shocked than Ying Yue. Her eyes, as if seeing the most peculiar thing in the world, were wide open, watching the magical Zither Sounds falling from the sky.

So... so powerful.

Ying Yue, being a Magic Archer, understood more than anyone else the meaning of those many magical Zither lights.

It was Magic Power, and of multiple attributes at that.

Magically-assisted attacks are much more challenging than ordinary fighting spirit attacks. Even Ying Yue herself couldn’t control that many magical attacks at once.

Yet, this seemingly delicate female Mage, who had been hiding behind her, handled it with ease.

What was laughable was that she had even mocked her earlier.

At this moment, Ying Yue wished she could crawl into a hole.

Seeing the Red Fire Tree Centipede had lost its vitality, Bo Bo was quick to act. "Dearest master, let me! Let me!"

The Red Fire Tree Centipede was a King-level Demon Beast, and dearest master is so powerful, her second inheritance of the Heavenly Fox would absolutely obliterate the Tree Centipede.

That Soul Crystal, it wanted it!

Yun Sheng knew that guy Bo Bo would, as always, play its post-mortem role, so she let it continue its performance.

The entire Bai Ren Sect widened their eyes.

With a "whoosh," Bo Bo’s small figure shot off Yun Sheng’s shoulder, landing beside the Tree Centipede’s corpse.

Bo Bo flapped its fleshy wings, and with a mighty force, it pulled out the half of the Red Fire Tree Centipede’s body still underground, tossing it aside like uprooting a radish.

The ground trembled a few times, yet the poor Red Fire Tree Centipede, which used to be a tyrant in the Wei Wu Forest, was struck down tonight by the villainous intimidating master and beast duo, Yun Sheng and Bo Bo, pretending to be pigs to eat the tiger.

Such astonishing strength!

The disciples of the Bai Ren Sect were once again dumbfounded.

They hadn’t expected that the Demon Beast crouched on Miss Yun Sheng’s shoulder was actually this terrifying!

"Bo Bo, a King-level Demon Beast Soul Stone!" Bo Bo’s black bean eyes shone brightly as he deftly extracted a crimson Soul Crystal from the belly of the Red Fire Tree Centipede.

The people from Bai Ren Sect, realizing the Tree Centipede was thoroughly dead, finally came to their senses. Ying Yue quickly ordered a search and finally rescued the unconscious Ying Chuan from a nest underground not far away.

After medical treatment, Ying Chuan awoke.

Just having woken up, his eyes opened to see the Red Fire Tree Centipede lying on the ground not far away.

The body of the Red Fire Tree Centipede had been sliced into two halves with a sharp weapon, and a look of shock gathered in Ying Chuan’s eyes.

While unconscious, Ying Chuan thought that the Bai Ren Sect was truly facing a catastrophe this time; who killed the Red Fire Tree Centipede?

Once again casting his gaze beside him, Ying Yue and the junior disciples of Bai Ren Sect were all present, while Yun Sheng and her Demon Beast stood not far away.

Ying Yue and all the junior disciples were looking at Yun Sheng with an expression of reverence. After inquiring, Ying Chuan already knew about the situation.

"Miss Yun Sheng, thank you for saving my life. Ying Yue, come and thank Miss Yun," Ying Chuan had already learned the truth of the matter from Ying Yue, and he was not particularly surprised. As he speculated, Yun Sheng was not ordinary.

Only, Ying Chuan had not anticipated that Yun Sheng could, by herself, kill the Red Fire Tree Centipede.

"What’s there to thank for? It’s not like we asked her to kill the Tree Centipede. If it weren’t for her, we could have obtained that Red Fire Tree Centipede’s Soul Crystal long ago," Ying Yue, even in her heart acknowledging Yun Sheng’s formidable power, couldn’t help but remain indignant, unwilling to thank Yun Sheng.

She harbored some resentment, blaming Yun Sheng for deliberately hiding her strength.

This Tree Centipede, she and Brother Ying Chuan had spent a long time tracking it. If it wasn’t for Yun Sheng offending the Wanyan Sect’s people, they might have taken action tonight.

There is a rule in both the Netherworld and Human World that whoever kills an ownerless Demon Beast or Demon Plant gets to keep the Soul Stone and Soul Crystal.

The Tree Centipede was killed by Yun Sheng. If she really wanted to take the Soul Crystal, even though Ying Yue could complain, she couldn’t actually seize it, making her glare at Bo Bo from the side.

"Miss Yun Sheng, please forgive Ying Yue’s rudeness. That Soul Crystal is very important to the Bai Ren Sect. Could you let us have it at a high price?" Ying Chuan said helplessly. He wouldn’t normally make such an unreasonable request, but the Soul Crystal concerned his master’s life and death, leaving him no choice but to thicken his skin and ask once.
