Chapter 48
Why seek your own death?
Li Mu's Wind-Riding Eagle is a sixth-tier awakened beast, and it is an extremely fast wind-attribute beast.
Despite its all-out pursuit, the Wind-Riding Eagle was slightly faster than the awakened fourth-tier Little Flame at full speed.
After tracking for nearly ten minutes, the crimson figure in Li Mu's sight gradually became clearer.
"It really was him! Li Ming!"
"And the package behind him is so bulging now; he must have gotten a lot of benefits in the valley."
"That giant rock-shaking frog was so enraged; maybe the package behind Li Ming contains the Poison Soul Fruit!"
"Damn it, my sister and I suffered heavy losses, and in the end, this kid got away with it!"
After Li Mu clearly saw the figures of Su Yuan and Xiao Yan ahead, he also saw the huge package on Xiao Yan's back that was supported by more than sixty Poison Soul Fruits.
Coupled with the huge commotion that had come from the valley earlier, she quickly realized what was going on.
Immediately, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she urged her Wind Chaser to give chase.
While in the valley, Su Yuan had instructed Xiao Yan to intentionally reduce the power of his attacks, thus deceiving Li Xian and Li Mu.
Despite deliberately suppressing its attack power, Xiao Yan's combat strength still exceeded its own fourth-level awakening level, but it was only comparable to the combat strength of an ordinary fifth-level awakened ferocious beast.
Li Mu has a sixth-level awakened Wind-Riding Eagle, so even if she's alone now, she's still confident she can handle Su Yuan.
"Li Ming! You stop right there!"
A little over a minute later, Li Mu finally caught up with Su Yuan.
She made the Wind-Riding Eagle dash forward, reaching Xiao Yan and Su Yuan, and then loudly reprimanded Su Yuan.
"So it's Li Mu. What brings you to stop me at this hour?"
Su Yuan looked at Li Mu who had caught up, but he was not surprised at all and spoke up.
In fact, he had already noticed Li Mu chasing after him.
Through his divine eye, Su Yuan also discovered that Li Mu was currently injured.
Moreover, it was the backlash damage caused by the death of the beast.
Therefore, Su Yuan could confirm that Li Mu, whose talent was far from reaching S-level and whose level was Awakening Level 6 Beast Tamer, currently only had the Awakening Level 6 Wind Eagle under his feet.
Such strength poses absolutely no threat to him.
"Li Ming, you took advantage of the moment when that peak-awakening beast in the swamp was chasing me to pick the Poison Soul Fruit and then ran away without a word. Isn't that incredibly unethical?"
"Hand over the backpack behind you, and I'll let bygones be bygones and let you go!"
Li Mu looked at the backpack behind Su Yuan and reprimanded him with a cold expression.
"Hehe, why are you alone? Where's your brother?"
"Could it be that your older brother has already perished in the mouth of that giant rock frog?"
Su Yuan looked at Li Mu, whose face was cold, and ignored his threat. Instead, he glanced around and said to Li Mu with a mocking expression.
"Rockquaker!"
"You knew all along that there was a ferocious beast at the peak of its awakening realm in that swamp!"
"It was you! You plotted to kill my brother!"
"Li Ming! You deserve to die!"
Su Yuan's words, coupled with the mocking expression on his face, immediately made Li Mu understand everything.
The thought that all of this was Su Yuan's doing fueled an uncontrollable rage in Li Mu's heart. His face twisted as he glared at Su Yuan with resentment.
His face was filled with resentment, like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell, sending chills down one's spine.
If looks could kill, Su Yuan would have died countless times already.
"Heh, what right do you have to talk about me like that?"
"Ask yourselves honestly, didn't you two initially intend to use me to obtain the Poison Soul Fruit?"
"They even had the audacity to say they'd split it equally afterward. If it weren't for that giant rock-shaking frog, you might have just run away after getting the Poison Soul Fruit too."
"They even planned to silence me too, didn't they?"
"I was just playing along."
Looking at Li Mu's contorted and grotesque face, Su Yuan sneered and said without showing any weakness.
Su Yuan's words also made Li Mu pause for a moment.
She hadn't expected that Su Yuan, at such a young age, would be so astute, having guessed their thoughts from the very beginning.
However, none of that matters now.
Now, Li Xian has perished in the valley while covering her escape. Now, she has encountered Su Yuan again and knows that all of this was a scheme by Su Yuan to outmaneuver them.
She only wanted to tear Su Yuan to pieces!
"Li Ming, you're asking for it!"
Taking a deep breath, Li Mu roared at Su Yuan and immediately commanded the Wind-Riding Eagle to attack Su Yuan with all its might.
shhhhh--
A series of cyan wind blades slashed through the miasma filling the air and hurtled towards Su Yuan.
"Sigh, why seek your own death..."
Su Yuan looked at Li Mu, who was now acting like a madman and trying to kill him, and suppressed his smile, shaking his head and sighing helplessly.
Given the other party's behavior, if this guy is allowed to leave alive, he will inevitably become a mortal enemy in the future.
Even though he wasn't using his real name, Li Mu had already memorized his face.
To avoid any future trouble, Su Yuan had already sentenced Li Mu to death in his heart.
Without Su Yuan's command, seeing the Wind-Riding Eagle attacking it, Xiao Yan let out a loud cry and instantly activated its Flame Shield.
A crimson flame shield instantly protected it and Su Yuan.
The wind blades unleashed by the Wind Eagle at full power landed on the crimson flame shield, only creating ripples on its surface.
They were unable to break the fire shield.
"How is that possible!"
This scene immediately caused Li Mu's expression to change drastically.
Her Beast Taming Wind Eagle has reached the sixth level of awakening, and its full-force wind blade attack can easily disembowel a fourth-level awakened ferocious beast.
Even a ferocious beast at the fifth level of awakening would absolutely not dare to directly withstand the wind blade attack unleashed at full power by the Wind-Riding Eagle.
Unless they are those very few ferocious beasts that are good at defense.
However, the fourth-level awakened fire-type beast in front of her now easily blocked all the attacks of the sixth-level awakened wind eagle with just a flame shield.
This was completely unexpected.
"For a fourth-tier awakened beast to withstand the Wind-Riding Eagle's full-force attack so easily, it must be an exceptionally high-star quality beast!"
Soon, Li Mu realized something, and his face immediately turned ugly.
A person who possesses a high-quality, exceptional beast at the awakening stage must be extremely wealthy and powerful, someone she simply cannot afford to offend.
What she couldn't understand was why a young master from such a prestigious family would venture into the Voodoo Secret Realm alone without a single guard!
"Xiao Yan, kill her."
However, Su Yuan did not give her time to figure out the reasons, and gave Xiao Yan the order to kill.
Then I saw it.
A blazing beam of fire instantly erupted from Xiao Yan's eyes, piercing through layers of poisonous miasma in the blink of an eye and striking Li Mu, piercing her chest.
Two fist-sized, open holes were left in his chest.
The flesh and blood around the cave entrance were all charred into charcoal by the high temperature, and even blood could not seep out.
The sudden attack left Li Mu completely stunned.
He looked down at the two large, charred holes in his chest before looking up and staring straight at Su Yuan.
"you……"
She wanted to say something, but a feeling of suffocation made it difficult for her to speak and she could no longer make a sound.
After a few seconds of stalemate, with a mournful cry from the Wind-Riding Eagle, both the man and the beast went limp and plummeted to the ground from a height of several hundred meters.
