UGB Chapter 96 Defection
Chapter 96 Defection
This is the mountain girl.
She looked at Yao Ye with a hint of apprehension in her eyes. After her gaze swept over his face, she finally let out a soft sigh.
"My lord..."
Her voice was as soft as honey, instantly arousing one's tenderness: "I... am just trying to make a living here with my children."
Why must you, my lord, drive me to my death?
She lowered her head slightly, revealing a section of her fair neck, her posture pitiful: "If my lord would be so merciful as to spare me and these children, the spiritual minerals, medicinal herbs, and even the dragon bones in this cave..."
"My lord, you may take it."
"I will not stop you... I only beg you, my lord, not to take my life."
"Oh?"
Yao Ye looked at her coldly, the smile on his lips gradually becoming more playful.
He put the Crimson Sun Mirror back into his sleeve, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked the mountain girl's graceful figure over before slowly shaking his head.
"You monster, why didn't you say this when you commanded thousands of mountain demons to attack us?"
His tone was indifferent and contemptuous, "Now that all his men are dead and the dragon race has been wiped out, what can he do with just this one mountain beast?"
"What right do you think you have to negotiate with me?"
The mountain girl's smile froze slightly.
Yao Ye flipped his right hand, and the Crimson Sun Mirror flew out again, its surface radiating brilliant golden light.
With a flick of his sword, a superior-grade magic sword appeared beside him, its blade pointing towards the mountain nun, its light flickering uncertainly.
Sensing its master's killing intent, the Mo Yunhu roared to the sky, the sound echoing through the cave.
"Today, I will not only take the treasure from this cave, but also your head to claim the reward."
Yao Ye laughed, "Your demon core is worth quite a bit of cultivation points."
The mountain girl fell silent, lowering her head and looking down.
Just when Yao Ye thought she had resigned herself to her fate, she suddenly raised her head, and a very strange smile bloomed on her charming face.
That smile was completely different from the pitiful look she had given just moments before.
Its mouth stretched almost to its ears, revealing a set of sharp teeth, fine as saw teeth, and its dark yellow eyes were full of ferocity.
"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences..."
The mountain maiden's voice suddenly became rough and hoarse, no longer as soft as before, "Then let me properly entertain my lord!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the mountain girl's figure suddenly became blurred.
Yao Ye's pupils contracted.
The sword technique was suddenly activated, and the superior-grade magic sword transformed into a streak of cold light, slashing towards the spot where the mountain nun stood—
But where the sword passed, it only shattered a fleeting afterimage.
The mountain girl's true form had vanished without a trace, as if it had merged into the air.
"Invisibility and shapeshifting!"
Yao Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly extended his spiritual sense, trying to capture the mountain girl's aura.
But the mountain girl's presence was elusive, sometimes appearing on the left and sometimes on the right.
Every time he locked onto a location, the aura would slip away like an eel, impossible to catch.
"Roar! Uru!"
At the same time, Shandu rose from the ground, wielding a stone pestle, his bloodshot eyes filled with frenzied rage.
Mo Yunhu stepped forward and engaged Shan Du in battle once again.
Yao Ye activated the Crimson Sun Mirror, its mirror-like light sweeping across the cave hall. He attempted to use the artifact's mystical power to track down the mountain nun.
But every time he locked onto a direction, the mountain's stone pestle would come crashing down, forcing him to interrupt his search and dodge.
A demon, a tiger, a human, and a magical artifact—the sounds of a stone pestle breaking, a tiger's roar, and the booming of magical artifacts mingled together in the cave hall, creating a chaotic scene.
Just then, a laugh as melodious as silver bells suddenly rang out.
"My lord... how heartless you are!"
Yao Ye's heart tightened, and before he could react, he saw a scene that made his soul tremble.
Beside Mo Yunhu, the air rippled gently like water, and a slender figure appeared out of thin air.
If it's not that mountain girl, then who is it?
The mountain maiden appeared in an extremely cunning position, landing precisely on the side of Mo Yunhu's neck the instant he turned to dodge the attack from the mountain stone pestle.
Her fair and slender hand emerged from her gauze dress, her fingers spread, and a hazy grayish-white mist had already gathered in her palm.
Before Mo Yunhu could react, the mountain girl slammed the cloud of mist hard into his face.
"Let's see what my methods are!"
The mountain woman grinned maliciously.
The grayish-white mist entered Mo Yunhu's head, and Mo Yunhu's whole body suddenly stiffened.
A flicker of struggle flashed in those bright yellow tiger eyes, then began to fade—
First, the pupils dilated, and then the color of the iris gradually changed from bright yellow to a murky dark gray.
Mo Yunhu let out a low whimper, shook itself twice, and then obediently lay down, prostrating itself at the foot of the mountain girl like a docile big cat.
The mountain girl stretched out a hand and gently patted the back of the black tiger's ear, then slapped it across the cheek.
"Waaah..."
Mo Yunhu was not angry at all. Instead, he lowered his head even lower and his tail swayed gently on the ground.
The mountain girl stroked the tiger's neck and softly called out, "Banzi, Banzi..."
Mo Yunhu then rolled over at her feet, revealing the soft skin of his belly, and made a fawning sound in his throat.
Yao Ye was shocked.
"Jin Ming, come back here!"
He shouted sternly, his hand seals changing rapidly as he continuously activated his techniques.
However, the runes in the contract that Mo Yunhu signed seemed to have lost their effectiveness.
It just lazily shook its head, flicked its ears as if shooing away flies, and continued to nestle at the foot of the mountain girl, not even glancing at him.
What Yao Ye didn't know was that this "mountain girl" had more than just the mysterious skill of "invisibility and shape-changing" because she had obtained the legacy of that Foundation Establishment True Person.
Its cultivation has been further refined, reaching the mid-stage of embryonic breathing, and it has the ability to "subdue tigers and leopards".
Mo Yunhu, however, was already bewitched by the mountain nun's sorcery and immediately turned against her.
The mountain girl slowly turned around to face Yao Ye, her charming face bearing undisguised mockery.
"Didn't you just say... you wanted to take my head? Why are you silent now?"
She placed one hand on Mo Yunhu's head and pointed a finger at Yao Ye from afar, her tone charming yet every word piercing: Come here, I'm standing right here.
My lord! Come and get it!
Both Shan Du and Mo Yunhu simultaneously pressed towards Yao Ye.
Yao Ye retreated hastily, his face extremely pale.
He flipped his right hand repeatedly, and one magical artifact after another flew out of the bag.
The "Winged Golden Ring" flew out of his hand and exploded in mid-air, transforming into dozens of sharp blade wheels that slashed towards Shan Du.
However, Mo Yunhu pounced from the side, his tiger claws sweeping across the air, knocking away most of the blade wheels. The remaining few strikes hit Shan Du but did not cause much damage.
Shan Du swung his stone pestle and smashed it down.
Yao Ye rolled away in a disheveled manner, his back slamming against the rock wall, sending pebbles tumbling down.
"Damn it, my embryonic breathing is almost gone..."
He was drenched in cold sweat and tried to secretly take out the "Jade Pearl" from his pouch to regulate his breathing.
But Mo Yunhu seemed to have seen through his thoughts and didn't give him any chance at all.
Even if it meant risking injury to clash with Yao Ye's magical artifact, it would still deplete his remaining vital energy.
"Buzz—"
The "Crimson Sun Mirror" flew out again, and a blazing red beam of light slammed into Shan Du's chest.
But this time, Santo was prepared and used a stone pestle to block the attack.
The stone pestle was shattered by the beam of light, and Shandu was also shaken back half a step, but was unharmed.
It threw aside the broken stone pestle and pounced on Yao Ye, smashing down with its bare fist!
"That beast!"
Yao Ye gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath, then quickly raised his sword to parry.
"when!"
A metallic clang rang out.
The superior-grade magic sword was bent three-tenths of an inch by the impact, and the tiger's mouth on Yao Ye's hand holding the sword was cracked open by the force, with blood flowing down the hilt.
He gritted his teeth and poured all the remaining true qi in his dantian into the magic sword.
