Mu Yuanying lay idly on the sofa in Su Fan's villa. She was alone here, so there was no need to maintain her composure.
"This is so comfortable."
Mu Yuanying lay on the sofa, enjoying herself. She had to admit that these worldly comforts could easily make one lazy.
A jacuzzi with hot water on demand, a bed large enough to sleep ten people comfortably, and this soft sofa that made one reluctant to get up.
None of these were available at the sect.
"No wonder those two little ones didn't want to return to the sect. It turns out there are so many enjoyable things in the mortal world."
Mu Yuanying finally understood why Jiudi and Lin Yao rarely returned to the sect. They must have wanted to enjoy themselves in the mortal world.
"Hmph! To have such good things and not show filial piety to their master. Just wait until I get back and deal with you two!"
Mu Yuanying snorted, feeling a bit resentful towards her unfilial disciples.
Today was already the third day. The week Su Fan had promised was not much longer, and she would soon receive the Breakthrough Pill to advance. The thought made her excited.
Mu Yuanying was very happy. Not only had she enjoyed worldly comforts these past few days, but she would also receive a Breakthrough Pill in a few days without having to pay anything. It was truly wonderful.
"Su Fan! Come out here!"
At that moment, an angry voice echoed from outside the villa.
Mu Yuanying froze.
Did Su Fan have friends?
Mu Yuanying went to the door and saw a tall figure standing outside.
"Su Fan isn't here."
Mu Yuanying said to the person outside.
Seeing the other party's appearance, she was immediately surprised.
Because the person didn't look human, more like a machine.
The figure was bare-chested, with many wounds on its body. The wounds were held together by torn metal plates and rivets, and there was some black, rotten flesh at the connection between the wounds and the metal. It looked like a combination of human and machine.
The person was Long Hua, who had been modified by Belor.
Mu Yuanying hadn't expected Su Fan to have such a strange friend.
"Make Su Fan come out, I'm going to kill him!"
Long Hua roared ferociously.
Mu Yuanying immediately realized something was wrong. Judging by the situation, this was not Su Fan's friend, but an enemy.
This meant that she was now responsible for driving this person away? That was her job now.
"Su Fan isn't here. Come back in a week."
Mu Yuanying thought for a moment and said to Long Hua.
It was best to avoid combat if possible.
"I can't wait!"
Long Hua shouted violently. He immediately swung his right hand, and a sharp blade pierced his skin, emerging from his forearm. His entire hand transformed into something like a mantis claw.
Then, without another word, he lunged at Mu Yuanying.
Mu Yuanying frowned slightly.
Why was this person so violent? He attacked after only a few words, and he was here to find Su Fan, so why involve her?
Mu Yuanying had no choice but to engage.
As soon as they clashed, Mu Yuanying realized she was in trouble.
The opponent's strength was actually at the Yuheng realm!
Mu Yuanying was immediately at a disadvantage, sent flying like a tattered sack.
A figure stood on a large tree not far away, observing everything happening in Su Fan's villa.
"Hehehehe, the puppets created from high-level martial artists are indeed powerful. It seems my experiment has succeeded. Martial artists are the best materials for refining my puppets."
Belor was extremely excited by Long Hua's performance. It was true that powerful martial artists were needed to refine puppets.
His theory was correct. If it weren't for the fact that Chinese martial artists had prohibited sorcerers from entering China over the years, he would have come to China long ago to capture martial artists as materials.
However, this time, taking advantage of You and Su Fan's feud to infiltrate China had yielded good results, allowing him to find a target and confirm his suspicions.
Belor leaped down from the tree and then disappeared into the forest.
Meanwhile, Mu Yuanying felt she was no match for her opponent and was contemplating a strategy.
Long Hua quickly charged at her again.
With a slash, Mu Yuanying hurriedly dodged.
Mu Yuanying realized she wasn't without a chance. Although her opponent's strength was high, he was short-tempered and seemed to lack strategic thinking, always charging headlong. She could use this to her advantage.
Mu Yuanying looked around, searching for anything she could utilize.
"Right!"
Mu Yuanying saw the gemstones in the corner of the yard and remembered. Su Fan had set up a killing formation in this yard, meant for her to deal with enemies she couldn't defeat.
Su Fan knew Mu Yuanying's strength was limited, and she would be in trouble if she encountered a high-level Yuheng realm expert. Therefore, he left her a formation that could be activated by placing the last gemstone in a fixed location.
The full power of this formation could kill an early-stage Yuheng realm expert.
Mu Yuanying took out the gemstone she had been carrying and ran towards the location of the last gemstone.
Long Hua followed closely behind Mu Yuanying. He stomped his feet, leaped high into the air, and thrust the mantis claws on his hands down at Mu Yuanying from above.
Mu Yuanying's heart leaped. She could only temporarily abandon her forward movement and dodged.
Then, she got up and continued moving towards the designated spot.
Upon reaching the location, she immediately placed the gemstone in the fixed position.
Instantly, the formation activated. Several white lights illuminated the surroundings of the yard, converging to form a luminous sword.
Mu Yuanying's heart filled with joy.
She remembered Su Fan saying this formation was called the "Heavenly Descent Spirit Sword Light Killing Formation."
In any case, the name was very long.
Mu Yuanying then took a step back, standing on the core of the formation.
At this moment, Mu Yuanying felt that she could control the luminous sword gathered in the sky, but only if she remained stationary. If she moved, she would lose control of the sword.
Mu Yuanying did not hesitate. She controlled the luminous sword in the sky and charged directly at Long Hua.
Long Hua had been in a state of rage, only thinking of killing, and had not noticed the giant sword descending towards his head.
"Die!"
Long Hua roared and leaped up, lunging at Mu Yuanying.
Mu Yuanying frowned. She didn't know whether the luminous sword or Long Hua was faster, but now she had to take a gamble!
Mu Yuanying hardened her heart and controlled the luminous sword to stab directly into Long Hua's chest.
At this moment, Long Hua had reached above Mu Yuanying, and the mantis claws on his hands were slashing down towards her head.
*Whoosh!*
A white light flashed. The luminous sword in the sky instantly pierced Long Hua's chest like a beam of light. Long Hua's eyes widened in surprise.
He didn't understand what had attacked him.
Long Hua fell from above Mu Yuanying's head and landed behind her. Mu Yuanying did not hesitate. While he was down, she pressed her advantage, controlling the luminous sword to finish Long Hua without mercy.
One after another, luminous swords pierced Long Hua's body. Long Hua lay on the ground, riddled with wounds like a corpse shot by arrows on a battlefield, and became silent.
Mu Yuanying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Being able to slay a Yuheng realm martial artist was something she had never expected. It was all thanks to Su Fan's formation.
Su Fan's formation was indeed powerful, with only a few limitations.
*Ding! Ding! Ding!*...
Mu Yuanying suddenly heard a series of dinging sounds. Upon closer listening, she realized they were coming from Long Hua's corpse.
Mu Yuanying froze, immediately sensing danger. She quickly moved away and took a defensive stance.
*Boom!*
Long Hua's corpse on the ground suddenly exploded, the immense force creating a crater in Su Fan's yard.
