Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 82 This matter is beyond human control!

Lin Xiufeng sized up the group of mutated beasts. They were about the size of a small horse, looked like sheep, but had reddish fur.

In the valley, there are many stem plants, which bear many fruits.

Apart from that, there was only tall, dense grass.

'Onion deafness? Herbivorous, gregarious, non-aggressive—this is it!'

Lin Xiufeng considered a solution...

If it's just to cause trouble, they can break through the artificially blocked escape route and drive this group of deaf people into the mountains.

However, if Fang Yuan and Ren Xing are to absorb as much Heavenly Martial Power as possible, then the Heavenly Martial Soul guarding this place must be eliminated.

'There are many guards around, and the sentries are in an open area, with several people on each side. If a sound is made, the Second Elder will have so many Heavenly Martial Souls rushing to help. Before they can absorb much of the mutated beasts' Heavenly Martial Power, they'll be facing a sea of ​​people...'

Lin Xiufeng considered a suitable solution...

Lin Xiufeng explored the surrounding mountains and forests for a while, and then returned to meet up at the agreed time.

After the four people met up, they discussed their strategy.

He suggested impulsively, "Why think so much? It would be best to kill the sentries without alerting them. If we do alert them, we can kill as many as the Second Elder's village comes!"

Fang Yuan rejected the idea.

"Mutant beasts are the core interest. The Second Elder can keep so many Heavenly Martial Souls stationed in the city because of this. He is willing to risk everything to support them."

"This kind of swarming crowd is unlike when the deputy commander helped us, where we could control the power to disable the enemy's mobility one by one without wasting our Heavenly Martial Power."

"The more we kill, the more Heavenly Martial Power we lose. How long can our Heavenly Martial Power reserves last?"

Zhao Youyue also thought it was inappropriate and, after considering it, said:
"The Second Elder doesn't even know how many Heavenly Martial Warriors there are in the city, or how far away the village is from where there's a Heaven-Turning General. How many are there? How far away are they? We don't know any of these things."

"Then there's no other way!" Renxing had considered all sorts of possibilities, but since there was no other way, she felt it was better to be straightforward.

"Or we can break in and absorb as much martial power as we can from the mutated beast horde. Once the Second Elder City's reinforcements arrive, we'll retreat and fight a guerrilla war."

Fang Yuan considered this way, which would not only alleviate his and Fang Yuan's immediate crisis, but also prevent them from being surrounded by a large crowd.

Zhao Youyue noticed that Lin Xiufeng hadn't said a word. A thought struck her, and she guessed what he was thinking. She looked at him, waiting for him to make a decision.

He stubbornly and strangely raised his hand and pushed Lin Xiufei, urging her:
"What's wrong with our handsome Zhiyong? Why are you playing the silent card?"

"That's a nice way to address you! You're getting sweeter and sweeter."

Lin Xiufeng was amused; he had only mentioned the nickname casually, but he had stubbornly remembered it.

Renxing immediately turned to Zhao Youyue and said:

"Why aren't you interrogating him? How does he know if I'm sweet-talking or not!"

"We're talking about serious business..." Zhao Youyue was speechless, realizing that Renxing liked to argue with Lin Xiufeng too much.

Fang Yuan was puzzled, but looking at Lin Xiufeng's expression, it seemed that he had something on his mind.

But given Lin Xiufeng's style, why is she hesitating to speak up?
Lin Xiufeng considered it for a long time and felt that the opportunity was right in front of him. He made up his mind and said:

"During the battle with the Mist Spirit King, I unexpectedly mastered the secret method of refining the soul of the mutated beast king."

"No, at a time like this, you've been keeping quiet for so long, and now you're trying to tell us a joke?"

She interrupted, a little annoyed, thinking he wouldn't have been this outrageous before, spouting nonsense even in serious moments!

"Lin Xiufeng wasn't joking; we've verified it."

Zhao Youyue testified personally, and Ren Xing was shocked... What kind of soul is this! It's not even ghosts or gods, is it?
"I can't reveal the secret method, and it's not the point."

"Isn't that the point?" His stubborn curiosity was piqued, and he was just waiting to hear what happened next!

"Don't interrupt the leader, the focus is on the mutated beast horde."

Fang Yuan's tone was serious, so he had no choice but to suppress his willfulness.

Lin Xiufeng continued, "Simply put, Zhao Youyue and I can summon the soul of the Mist Spirit King and release the dense energy fog of the Mist Forest Mountain Range."

"That works too!" Renxing exclaimed in surprise, standing up immediately!

Fang Yuan understood; the idea of ​​a soul was probably just a pretext, but it wasn't important.

The important thing is that Lin Xiufeng can use this ability to transform this place into the Misty Forest Mountain Range! Fang Yuan immediately grasped the key point. "What do you need us to do? What if the Misty Spirit King's soul is discovered?"

“I’ve thought of a solution to the second problem. What you need to do is: after the dense fog covers the valley, deal with the enemies in the fog and absorb the mutated beast horde.”

"Zhao Youyue needs to protect me while I summon the Mist Spirit King's soul. The operation depends on you."

"Understood!" Fang Yuan had no problem. He had experienced the environment of the Misty Forest Mountain Range before. The visibility was very short, and with the torrential rains of the rainy year, the enemy's visibility would only be even closer.

When the fog covers a large enough area, the Second Elder's Heavenly Martial Soul will come to their aid, and they will no longer need to face a siege by a sea of ​​people.

"Act immediately. You guys keep watch in the valley ahead for a while. Summoning the soul will take a few minutes."

Lin Xiufeng stopped arguing and Fang Yuan told him to leave.

He turned to look at Zhao Youyue reluctantly and said:
"Can't I just watch the process of summoning a soul?"

"Let's go." Fang Yuan urged, and Ren Xing followed.

Seeing that Lin Xiufeng was still standing still, Zhao Youyue asked him in confusion, "Aren't you going to transform?"

"Wait a minute." After Lin Xiufeng finished speaking, he stood there and waited for another thirty seconds. Then he saw Renxing suddenly rush out from the bend in the valley ahead!

Seeing them standing there, all staring at her, she felt a little embarrassed and bit her lower lip.

"I just want to see."

Zhao Youyue looked at Lin Xiufei, clearly observing his attitude.

"Okay!" Lin Xiufeng agreed, then muttered to Zhao Youyue as he turned around, "Three."

Zhao Youyue paused for a moment, suppressing a laugh, and followed him to the water's edge.

He followed along impulsively, eyes wide open, waiting to see what would happen.

Suddenly, Zhao Youyue took off her raincoat, stood tall and proud, and said to Lin Xiufeng in a high-pitched voice:
"I am willing to offer my body as a tool for the soul messenger; please use me as you please!"

Ren Xing felt a chill and was about to scold Lin Xiufeng for instructing Zhao Youyue to make fun of her.

But then Lin Xiufeng grabbed Zhao Youyue's hand, his voice deep and wicked:
"Ancient blood summons, spirits unite! Beautiful souls become vessels, at your command! Descend—"

As he finished speaking, Lin Xiufeng grasped Zhao Youyue's hand and closed his palm with hers.

A bright blue light shone forth, transforming into the luminous body of the Armadillo King, enveloping the two of them.

The armadillo king dived into the river and sank.

Renxing opened his eyes wide and his mouth agape, watching as the two of them turned into glowing monsters after the incantation was recited!

"It's actually true!"

The armadillo king sank to the bottom of the river and quickly dug. Before long, it had dug a hole in the riverbed and hid itself inside.

Enveloped in the Armadillo King's radiant aura, Lin Xiufeng, listening to Zhao Youyue's unstoppable laughter beside him, couldn't help but say:
"Beautiful lady! That's enough, it's time to transform into the Mist Spirit King!"

"Change, change! Haha..."

The more Zhao Youyue tried not to laugh, the more she couldn't help it. Just thinking about Lin Xiufeng's shocked expression made her think that Lin Xiufeng was too mean!

The two deactivated their transformations and found themselves in a pit at the bottom of the river, their foreheads immediately reattached.

The colorful orbs of light from the Mist Spirit King converged, and the dark-colored Heavenly Martial Power erupted, transforming into a body of light that enveloped the two of them.

Zhao Youyue laughed for a while, then held it in for a bit, but couldn't help laughing again.

Lin Xiufeng could only pinch her and remind her, "Shift your attention and think about nice things."

"...That's too much! Trying to seduce me at a time like this!"

Zhao Youyue really stopped smiling.

"Focus your attention and begin releasing the energy fog."

The two remained focused and of one mind.

The Mist Spirit King's luminous body began to continuously release a dense, dark-colored fog...

Thick fog rose from the water's depths, enveloping the river and spreading in all directions...
