Chapter 823: The Nightmare Mud Man’s Nightmare

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Cough cough…”

The Nightmare Mud Man threw up another mouthful of blood within the crater.

It stood up shakily. Its flattened body was nurtured by the viscous black mist around it before slowly resuming its humanoid form.

“I was too naive. You’re very powerful… I’m no match for you.”

The Nightmare Mud Man looked up at Dongfang Zhuangshi, and it gritted its teeth. “However… There’s no mistaking the fact that my luck is indeed very good because…”

It suddenly pulled out a jade talisman as a cold smile appeared on its face.

That’s right, he only had to transmit this information to the Divine Bat Emperor! At the Demonic Blood Kirin’s current power level, there was no way he would be able to escape from the Divine Bat Emperor!

Bam!

Space twisted, and the jade talisman was shattered!

Dongfang Zhuangshi’s crimson eyes flashed as he activated his kirin eye technique, Spatial Twist.

This technique’s forte was its speed, and it would often catch his opponents off guard.

Thus… the Nightmare Mud Man’s nightmare was ensured.

“I heard you just say that there’s no mistaking your good luck?” Dongfang Zhuangshi said coldly.

The Nightmare Mud Man: “…”

“Quick! Transmit the information regarding the Demonic Blood Kirin’s emergence to the Divine Bat Emperor!”

The Nightmare Mud Man suddenly roared as its voice traveled through the air in a radius of several dozen kilometers.

The hundreds of beasts within this range all heard this earsplitting instruction.

Almost all of them looked up at the figure standing in mid-air with their mouths gaped open, as if they were unable to comprehend the situation.

The Demonic Blood Kirin?

That mighty figure who looked like a human was the Demonic Blood Kirin who had once struck awe and terror into the hearts of all the inhabitants that lived within the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool?!

It made sense though. After all, only a being as powerful as that would be able to severely wound the Nightmare Mud Man in one strike.

The flaming falcon and the dark dragon ape were the two Return to Void Stage immortal beast subordinates of the Divine Bat Emperor. They reacted first as they pulled out their voice transmission talisman to get into contact with the Divine Bat Emperor.

However, two drops of translucent liquid suddenly flew through the air like two flying swords before instantly shattering the voice transmission talismans.

The two Return to Void Stage immortal beasts turned with shock and horror as a fleshy, translucent body wrapped around them before secreting an extremely horrific corrosive, paralyzing liquid.

“Jade Bone, are you insane?!” the flaming falcon roared.

The perpetrator was none other than An Lin’s beast pet, the Jade Bone Immortal Bug!

“Hmph! You swindled a hundred thousand spirit stones from me! It’s time you paid some interest!” the Jade Bone Immortal Bug replied in an extremely pleasant voice.

The flaming falcon: “… What the f*ck?! Wasn’t that an agreement that we had? I was helping you! Wait…”

The flaming falcon suddenly came to its senses as it thought back to those two minotaurs. He then looked at those two humans at the exit, and a certain connection clicked in its mind.

An expression of shock appeared on its face. “You’re a traitor!”

“Nicely done, Little Gu!” An Lin’s eyes lit up with praise.

If those two Return to Void Stage mighty figures were intent on using their voice transmission talismans to contact the Divine Bat Emperor, it would have been quite difficult to stop them under normal circumstances. However, the Jade Bone Immortal Bug’s surprise attack had completely caught them off guard and destroyed their voice transmission talismans before they even had a chance to make the transmission.

“Shut the f*ck up and help me get free!” the dark dragon ape roared as the muscles on its body bulged. A dark aura soared into the sky as it tried to dislodge the Jade Bone Immortal Bug from around its body.

At this moment, the hundreds of beasts within the area had also sprung into action.

However, none of them could contact the Divine Bat Emperor directly as they were only low-ranked beasts in the beast tribes’ hierarchy, so they could only deliver the news on foot.

However, they were obviously not going to get far.

Xiao Ze instantly unleashed a spatial seal, and all the beasts were instantly immobilized.

“Howl!” Xiao Ze roared. Lightning clouds began to surge in the sky as they sent bolts of divine lightning crashing down upon the beasts below.

An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Ao Niu, the Divine Poison Frog, and the Peerless Saber Demon also joined the fray with the sole intent of wiping out all the beasts here.

As for Gluttony, it pounced toward the two Return to Void Stage immortal beasts. Its goal was not to kill them, but only to work with the Jade Bone Immortal Bug to prevent them from escaping and spreading the news.

Despair welled up in the Nightmare Mud Man’s heart as it looked around at all of its forces, which were being steamrolled.

Could it be that encountering the Demonic Blood Kirin was actually an indication of bad luck?

“Hehe, alright. Now, I can focus on teaching you a lesson.” The middle-aged man cracked his knuckles with a sinister smile.

The Nightmare Mud Man’s body trembled, and it unleashed its power of the divine dao again without any hesitation as a dark aura instantly engulfed the area within a radius of ten kilometers around it.

Summoning Technique, Nightmare Ghost Realm!

Countless malicious ghosts materialized in the air before flying toward the man in the air.

“You really don’t learn, do you?” The middle-aged man shook his head as an extremely dense burst of blood energy burst forth from his body and created a monstrous red light that threatened to part heaven and earth as it swept away all the oncoming malicious ghosts.

The Nightmare Mud Man let loose a ferocious roar as it flew directly toward the crimson light.

Its body began to expand as it transformed into a black mud man over a thousand feet tall. When it opened its cavernous black mouth, a boundless spiritual-engulfing power erupted forth from within.

Its gigantic mouth was like a vortex that threatened to completely engulf and shred the man before him.

The middle-aged man didn’t unleash any flashy spell techniques in response. All he did was unleash another fist.

Not only did the Demonic Blood Kirin have the power of blood, which represented life, but also the power of demons, which represented slaughter.

This punch was imbued with the Demonic Blood Kirin’s power of demons.

It was capable of annihilating all things and crushing heaven and earth!

“Bam!”

The Nightmare Mud Man felt, for the very first time, like its power of the divine dao was made from papier-mache.

The protective shadows around its body were broken once again, and the black mud man’s cavernous mouth was also shattered by the terrifying fist before its entire thousand-foot-tall body began to crumble.

The Nightmare Mud Man’s body reappeared. It didn’t even get a chance to catch its breath before Dongfang Zhuangshi’s fists fell again.

Boom!

The overwhelmingly powerful punch bashed the Nightmare Mud Man into the ground again, and a massive crater appeared as the earth tremored violently.

“Pwah…” The Nightmare Mud Man threw up another mouthful of blood.

Dongfang Zhuangshi continued to press his advantage. “Your combat prowess is pretty pathetic, but you sure can take some hits. You would make a fantastic sandbag!”

Pathetic combat prowess? Fantastic sandbag?

If another mighty figure said something like this to the Nightmare Mud Man, it would make them beg for death in minutes! However, the mighty figure saying these things now was someone that was beating it into complete submission…

Boom!

The fist fell again.

The Nightmare Mud Man defended with all its might, but the fist broke through his defenses again as blood gushed from his mouth.

That wasn’t the end of it. Dongfang Zhuangshi unleashed a combo of punches, each of which was devastatingly powerful and could rival an attack from a mighty figure at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage.

The Nightmare Mud Man’s body was flattened countless times as it sustained one injury after another.

Another fist, another fist…

Dongfang Zhuangshi’s fists had become the Nightmare Mud Man’s nightmare.

It felt as if it would develop post-traumatic stress disorder if it saw fists again in the future.

That was… if it had a future…

All the other Soul Formation Stage and Soul Formation Stage beasts were quickly annihilated by An Lin and the others.

They were then treated to the sight of Dongfang Zhuangshi putting the Nightmare Mud Man on a disability pension.

“Gasp… Master, is that middle-aged man really the Demonic Blood Kirin? How did you end up with him on your side? He’s so powerful!” Xiao Ze couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

“Due to some reasons, that middle-aged man is unable to leave my side. He belongs to me now,” An Lin explained.

Xiao Ze was a little dumbstruck upon hearing this. The middle-aged man couldn’t leave Master’s side? He belonged to Master?

He turned to look at Xu Xiaolan as he fell into deep thought.

Xu Xiaolan was Master’s wife.

If that was the case, what should he refer the middle-aged man as?
