Chapter 13: The Devilishly Handsome Man

Lou Mu Yan continued to fall, but soon she felt a gentle force supporting her body. Her mind was also invaded by that same force, but it wasn’t aggressive and only helped her wake up immediately.

She landed on the ground supported by that power and when she opened her eyes she met a pair of eyes that were as deep and dark as ink.

Currently, there was a young man standing on a large rock opposite her. He was dressed in enchanting red robes with black hair lightly lifted by the wind, had a tall, sturdy figure, straight nose, naturally thin red lips, and a flawless face that appeared to be meticulously sculpted and polished—he was immaculately handsome.

The man exuded a naturally noble temperament, and he inadvertently revealed a fierce, domineering countenance, as if an almighty sovereign that was looking down upon all living beings.

Right now, the devilishly handsome man looked at her calmly.

Lou Mu Yan knew that this man saved her, otherwise she would’ve been handicapped after a fall from such a height if she didn’t die.

“Thank you very much!” Lou Mu Yan looked at the man with gratitude, promising: “Your life-saving grace will definitely be repaid in the future.”

“Stupid woman.” The man curled his lips and smiled devilishly. He suddenly moved his gaze away from her and looked in another direction, his eyebrows furrowing lightly. Then he turned and dashed that way, vanishing into thin air.

Lou Mu Yan was stunned—that devilish man actually said she was a ‘stupid woman’…

Feeling a strong wave of Elemental Energy in that direction, she looked at the place curiously, mused a little, then followed.

The man’s speed was extremely fast. She needed to use her Flash Step to be able to prevent herself from falling behind too much. After around a quarter of an hour, the man entered a large cave that appeared in front of them, and she followed without hesitation.

“You lowly humans, you dared to set foot in this King’s territory, you are truly courting death.”

The moment she entered the cave, a strong, pressuring voice resounded. If it weren’t that she used her Mental Energy to shield her Sea of Consciousness, it would’ve been shattered by the pressure.

She looked up and discovered a huge Flame Unicorn Beast lying in the cave that was at least five or six times larger than the previous. Its dark red scaled armour was faintly exuding a cold light.

At Tier 6, a Demonic Beast could utter the human language, but based on the opponent’s aura, Lou Mu Yan could determine that it wasn’t only at Tier 6, but at the Peak-Phase of Tier 6, and its strength was equivalent to an Initial-Phase Tier 7.

Lou Mu Yan stood at the entrance of the cave and after hearing the arrogant words of the man that referred to himself as ‘this Highness’, her curiosity grew even more.

As far as she knew, the Flame Unicorn Beast was a superior Demonic Beast with fire-attribute energy condensed within its fur and skin that acted as armour. Its defence was abnormally strong amongst Demonic Beasts, but of course, its scaled armour and bones were also excellent material for refining weapons.

Its blood essence also contained strong fire attribute energy which was exceptionally useful to Sword Masters that practiced manuals with the fire attribute, and it was even more effective when used to refine pills.

The most important part was that the Flame Unicorn Beast’s combat power was extremely strong, and practically every single one of them could fight someone at a higher level than them, such as this Peak-Phase Tier 6 Flame Unicorn Beast before her. It could probably even match an Initial-Stage Sword Sovereign.

She sensed a powerful force from the man, and based on the fluctuations from his energy, she felt the man was at least Middle-Phase Sword Monarch. Still, his strength compared to the Demonic Beast was a little weaker.

So what gave him this confidence and arrogance?

Aside from domineering, confident and proud as her first impressions of the man, she also felt little bit of modesty, reticence, and reservedness that was carved into his bones, not at all like the temperament of an ordinary cultivator.

The fact that he had confidence in killing the Peak-Phase Tier 6 Flame Unicorn Beast must mean he had his trump cards.

The Flame Unicorn Beast was furious—this damned, lowly human not only invaded its territory, but he also wanted its Crystal Core. He was truly too arrogant and bold.

“Lowly human, this King must tear you apart today.” For nearly a thousand years, no human nor Demonic Beast dared insult it like this. The Crystal Core was its lifeblood.

Upon the fall of the Flame Unicorn Beast’s words, Lou Mu Yan felt its pressure grow exponentially. Its eyes turned red, and from its nostrils, it snorted two streams of flames. With a kick, it pounced towards the devilish man.

The devilish man sneered, stretched out his arm and a long crimson red sword appeared in his hand. He waved it casually and a violent sword aura whirled in the air. It landed directly on the Flame Unicorn Beast that was in mid-air.

[PENG!] Although the scaled armour on the Flame Unicorn Beast wasn’t harmed, its entire gigantic body was blasted by the sword aura and crashed into a rock on the opposite side.

The Flame Unicorn Beast had never been treated like this before. It turned over, its eyes bloodshot and filled with burning flames of anger, then took a deep breath.

A pillar of fire sprouted from the Flame Unicorn Beast’s mouth and that pillar of fire carried enough power that felt as if it could destroy the Heaven and earth—it was one of the relatively strong abilities the Flame Unicorn Beast possessed.

A touch of ridicule flashed across his lips. His red clothes fluttered, and he swiftly performed a hand-seal with one hand in mid-air. Amazingly, a pure blue crystal column appeared beneath his feet.

Utilising his Elemental Energy, with a flick of his finger, that crystal pillar automatically shot itself out from the ground and slammed into the fire pillar.

[PUCHI!!] The moment the blue crystal pillar met with the fire pillar, it instantly turned into countless ice-cold water droplets, extinguished the fire pillar and pierced the body of the Flame Unicorn Beast.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes revealed a sliver of surprise—this devilish man couldn’t only use skills with fire attributes but also skills with water attributes that were so strong he could condense it into ice. He was very strong.

This world was different to the Immortal Cultivation World in terms of elements. In the Immortal Cultivation World, those with only one Spiritual Root were considered the most talented, but here, Sword Masters didn’t have Spiritual Roots, and instead, relied on their own comprehension of the elemental laws between Heaven and earth to cultivate.

The more Elemental Laws one comprehended, the stronger their talent, but the difficulty of comprehending one after the other was like the distance between Heaven and earth. Many Sword Masters could never comprehend a second element in their entire lives.

Lou Mu Yan was different to others, however. She owned the wise Heavenly Spiritual Root that had no attributes, therefore she had a high level of comprehension and was extremely talented. As long as she could eradicate her Terminal Meridians constitution, then she could comprehend the laws of all the elements between Heaven and earth.

But the devilish man already used skills of two types of elemental attributes, who knew if he secretly owned a third attribute. With his age, he was definitely a prodigy amongst prodigies—it seemed that not only was his appearance devilishly captivating, but his talents were also devilishly powerful1.

[ROAR!!!]

There were only wisps of white smoke where the pillar of fire and the pillar of water met. After a few droplets of blue ice water penetrated the Flame Unicorn Beast’s body, it swiftly froze its eight extraordinary meridians, causing it to roar in agony.

Pieces of red rocks were shaken down by the Flame Unicorn Beast’s roar, but it continued to raise its head again and roar, glaring at the powerful, red-robed man that it previously belittled.

“Human, your strength is indeed not bad, but if you think your level of cultivation is enough to kill this King then you would be too naïve.”

The Flame Unicorn Beast was completely enraged. It shook its red scales that shone with a cold light, and with the natural arrogance of a superior species of Demonic Beast, it looked down at the man in front of it.
“You should be honoured to let this King use the innate talent of my species to kill you.”

1wordplay on 妖孽 (aka devil/monster/evil spirit etc.) which is often used colloquially in China to describe specific types of handsome men… mostly very sexy men, like how in English there’s the phrase ‘devilishly handsome’. It’s also used as a term to describe people so talented and prodigious that it’s not natural nor human, but instead, like a ‘monster’ of sorts (or ‘devil’ in this case). So it’s describing that both his looks and talents aren’t at a normal human (in this case, cultivator) level haha.
