Supreme Tamer

Chapter 404: 280: Heart Erasure, Killing Greedily

Its body was densely covered with blue scales, akin to metal. The sharp dragon claws were so powerful that even the hard rock on the ground couldn’t stop them. The Qingzhe Dragon didn’t have the rock attribute, and its terrifying movement underground was completely relying on its powerful body to smash through layers of rock. Using its strong claws, it directly blasted tunnels hundreds of meters long and expanded them by slamming its body into them.

The Qingzhe Dragon’s rampage underground was for the purpose of saving Chu Mu. It could sense that Chu Mu was buried under layers of collapsed rock and his life had become incredibly weak.

Indeed, Chu Mu was now buried under layers of rock.

Chu Mu, in his half-demon form, had high defense. The falling rocks wouldn’t truly threaten his life. However, the fatal danger came from a ninth-rank Gluttonous Insect monster next to him. This Gluttonous Insect was less than five meters away from Chu Mu, close enough to launch an attack!

The Gluttonous Insect had the bug attribute. The mud layer didn’t restrict its body much. It soon began to dig through the layers of rock and soil, slowly approaching Chu Mu.

Heart-Cleaving Claw!!!

A level seven attack skill slashed across Chu Mu’s buried position. His body was covered with over ten pieces of one-meter-thick rocks. However, when the Heart-Cleaving Claw fell, all the thick rocks were cut open, reaching Chu Mu’s back!

Chu Mu’s back already had a hollow wound. The Heart-Cleaving Claw fell and tore Chu Mu’s wound larger. The long scar on his back was clearly devoid of the effect of white charm demon flame!

Chu Mu gasped in pain, enduring the agony of tearing open his restraint. As the rocks on his body were cut open, he quickly got up and cast Demon Charm Shadow to avoid the Gluttonous Insect’s terrifying second strike!

Swish!!!

The Gluttonous Insect’s claw attack was truly terrifying. Each claw strike left a ten-meter-long scar on the messy rock layer, and it was several meters deep—an attack befitting a late-stage level eight creature!

Chu Mu’s defense after half-demonization had reached the intermediate level 8. Such defense was nearly impossible to be broken by any soul pets. Chu Mu was still facing an infamous old strong one in the soul pet world, whose ninth-rank Gluttonous Insect monster was not so easy to deal with.

Chu Mu can still summon a soul pet to help him fight. However, Chu Mu knew that summoning any of his soul pets now would be inappropriate. Among all his soul pets, the one with the highest defense was the Demon Tree Warrior. Its defense was barely close to level eight. Its vitality could perhaps withstand a few attacks from the Gluttonous Insect monster, but under this earthy environment, it couldn’t effectively apply its restraint ability.

As for Chu Mu’s other soul pets, including Mo Ye, Chu Mu dared not let them join the battle easily. After all, their defenses were all below level eight. The claw blade of the late-stage level eight Gluttonous Insect monster, coupled with the power of its skills, was close to level nine. A slight mistake could lead to instant kill. Chu Mu would rather be injured himself than allow any of his soul pets to die.

The Resentment Condensation effect was still ongoing. Chu Mu’s combat power was still maintained at the seventh stage and ninth level, but now he was in a peak state.

The Gluttonous Insect’s consecutive attacks shattered many rocks, providing Chu Mu with some space for free movement.

“Burn!”

The charming eyes shone with the evil white light. Chu Mu slapped the ground with his right hand, and a wave of white charm demon flame spread from the half-demonized Chu Mu at the center, enveloping the narrow space!

The cold demon flames surged, and the Gluttonous Insect monster dared not make direct contact with the white charm demon flames that could cause immense soul pain. Its claws began to move rapidly, digging a cave to hide in when the flame wave rolled toward it.

Swish!!!

The claw appeared without warning, coming from behind Chu Mu with another fierce strike. This time, Chu Mu’s back was sliced open and the white charm demon flame on his body was nearly extinguished!

The Gluttonous Insect monster’s digging speed was incredibly fast. Chu Mu had just completed the attack, and it was already near him.

Hiss

When Chu Mu got injured, so did the White Nightmare Demon. Its soul let out an extremely sharp demon cry!

The demon cry turned into a thicker resentment, which quickly fused into Chu Mu’s half-demonized body, transforming into even more raging white charm demon flame, burning on his body!

The pain was inevitable, but compared to the pain of tearing apart his own body with continuous claw slashes, what could the burning agony do to him?

In the midst of the pain, Chu Mu calmed down and released his Soul Lord’s Soul Sense, locking onto the layers of dark soil.

Hiss

The Gluttonous Insect monster appeared again, still aiming for Chu Mu’s back. The cold light intertwined, and Chu Mu, who was already scarred, had another deep cross-shaped mark slashed into his back, almost tearing Chu Mu in half!

The intense pain struck again. However, Chu Mu managed to lock the monster with his Soul Sense when the Gluttonous Insect monster flew past him.

The white charm demon flame on Chu Mu’s body suddenly shot up from his feet, engulfing his body and turning it into nothingness.

Displacement Demon Shadow!

This was the opportunity Chu Mu had traded for at the cost of heavy injuries. The locking of soul sense, the judgment of direction, and the casting of the skill could not have any deviation. The Gluttonous Insect Monster’s speed was too fast, so fast that Chu Mu couldn’t truly complete the attack.

The pale demon flames burned eerily. Behind the Gluttonous Insect Monster, Chu Mu’s proud demon shadow gradually emerged within the blooming flames!

Success! This time, Chu Mu’s casting of the skill was very accurate, successfully appearing behind the Gluttonous Insect Monster.

Heart Erasure!

Without a doubt, the only skill that could directly kill the Gluttonous Insect Monster was this half-demon fatal Heart Erasure that ignored defenses!

White charm demon flame burned quietly in Chu Mu’s palm. His right hand turned into a knife and slowly pierced into the back of the Gluttonous Insect Monster’s spine.

With no obstacle, he penetrated the Gluttonous Insect Monster’s body. Chu Mu’s Heart-obliterating Claw seemed to reach into an unusual space, attempting to extract something from that strange space!

The Gluttonous Insect Monster’s reaction ability was swift. Once it realized Chu Mu was already behind it, its hind legs pushed off, and its body turned into a black light, rushing forward, trying to escape Chu Mu’s attack.

Chu Mu had long expected his attack speed couldn’t compare with the Gluttonous Insect Monster’s evasion ability. His left hand tightly grabbed the Gluttonous Insect Monster’s shoulder bone, and his entire body was carried away by its sprint.

The Gluttonous Insect Monster’s running speed was terrifying. Chu Mu, who was being carried away, collided continuously with those hard rocks, and the process of Heart Erasure was repeatedly dragged and smashed open by the Gluttonous Insect Monster. The collision made Chu Mu himself feel dizzy.

Heavy injuries and impacts made Chu Mu’s consciousness increasingly blurry, making it difficult for his Heart-obliterating Claw to find the target. However, Chu Mu knew that if he didn’t kill the Gluttonous Insect Monster, he would be the one to die.

Death was not terrible to Chu Mu, but Chu Mu absolutely wouldn’t die so lowly, dying in the hands of a Gluttonous Insect Monster at the Ninth Rank!!

Reluctance towards death is a kind of resentment!

This time, the resentment turned into a force to strengthen Chu Mu’s power, making Chu Mu, who was becoming weaker and weaker, feel a surge of energy, making his arm stronger!

Heart Erasure!!!

Finally, Chu Mu once again delved into the nightmare demon’s hand. This demon hand firmly grasped the Gluttonous Insect Monster’s internal organ crystal.

As his palm tightened, the internal organ instantly burst open, and fluids splashed inside the Gluttonous Insect Monster’s body. Some of it slowly slid down from Chu Mu’s fingers!

The Internal Organ Crystal was the source of life for the Gluttonous Insect Monster. At the moment when Chu Mu crushed it, the Gluttonous Insect Monster’s body suddenly stiffened, losing its driving force. It rushed through the rubble gap of the Old Site Hall, creating a long, shattered cavity before finally coming to a complete stop…

Due to inertia, Chu Mu was carried away by the Gluttonous Insect Monster and rolled along the cavity it had broken open for a long time, almost stopping at the bottom.

Lying in the rubble, the white charm demon flame on Chu Mu’s body grew dimmer and dimmer, and Chu Mu could already see his bruised flesh through the flames…

Chu Mu himself gasped for breath, his palm still holding some bile. The moment he killed the Gluttonous Insect Monster, Chu Mu reached his limit, and it was difficult to muster any more strength, especially since his back had several claw marks that almost severed his bones.

The previous battle with the Gluttonous Insect Monster had been Chu Mu passively dodging. Now, it gave Chu Mu a chance to challenge himself since it had been a long time since he had experienced fighting on the edge of life and death.

“Dead…dead…my child is dead. How is this possible? It’s absolutely impossible. He should be the one to die!” In the underground passage, Duan Xinhe was plunged into a stupefied state.

Earlier, Duan Xinhe had seen Chu Mu and his Gluttonous Insect Monster get buried. Under these circumstances, Duan Xinhe was absolutely confident his Gluttonous Insect Monster at the Ninth Rank could kill Chu Mu.

However, what he awaited was not the news of Chu Mu’s death, but the soul feedback of his own Ninth Rank Gluttonous Insect Monster’s demise!

The top 70 monthly results come without a penny of prize money, but Little Fish hopes that “Pet Charm” will let more people see its uniqueness. The beginning of “Pet Charm” hasn’t been very popular, but Little Fish firmly believes that as long as he keeps writing, more and more people will see it. “Pet Charm” needs to step by step towards its glory, and each step forward cannot be done without everyone’s support and encouragement.
