GBP Chapter 44 Misty Forest
Chapter 44 Misty Forest
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two years have passed, while within the formation, sixty years have already passed.
Xie Wanning held a silver-blue natal sword—the Luoze Sword. The sword was light blue all over, emitting a silvery-white light. The hilt was carved with lotus patterns, and the whole sword exuded a chilling aura.
Xie Wanning drew her sword swiftly, slashing towards the opposite side, and hundreds of sword blades flew out instantly.
The dark figure opposite flashed, dodging all the sword blades. The blades struck the mountain, sending rocks flying and leveling the mountain into flat land.
The shadowy figure flashed behind Xie Wanning, the sword blade only an inch away from her. Suddenly, dozens of sword blades flew towards the shadowy figure, forcing it to dodge and giving it no chance to draw its sword.
In the blink of an eye, Xie Wanning was no longer where she was, but was standing high in the sky on her sword.
Countless sword blades surrounded the dark figure, with no way out in any direction.
With a swing of his sword, the surrounding blades shattered instantly.
A giant sword appeared above the shadowy figure. Just as the shadowy figure dodged to the right, a murderous aura appeared behind him. The shadowy figure quickly used his sword to defend, but no small blade was seen slashing towards his waist.
With a "thud," the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground rang out, and a cloth bag landed on the floor.
Xie Wanning used her sword to lift the bag and handed it to the dark figure in front of her: "Master Yu, I got your storage bag. Does that mean I've passed the test?"
Yu Song took off his hat and smiled helplessly: "Of course, I keep my word. Since you were able to get my storage bag within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then you can be considered to have graduated."
Yu Song did not take the storage bag, and said indifferently, "This bag contains a graduation gift that your master prepared for you. You can take it."
Xie Wanning's smile faded, and her gaze towards Yu Song was filled with deep reluctance.
She has passed all the tests of her master and mistress and has successfully graduated.
"My disciple, don't be too sad. You still have a long way to go in your life." Yu Song patted Xie Wanning's shoulder to comfort her.
Tears welled up in Xie Wanning's eyes. Who could have imagined that two years would pass so quickly?
“Getting old, I really can’t stand sentimental scenes,” Liang Hao said with a laugh.
Xie Wanning then noticed that all her masters and mistresses had come over, and she respectfully bowed.
“Disciple, now is not the time for you to go out. Although your cultivation has reached my requirements, you have not gone out to face the demons and magical beasts in the past two years. Therefore, you need to pass our test before you can go out.” Zhuge Tian stroked his white beard and said seriously.
"What test? Master and Mistress, please tell me, I will not let you down." Xie Wanning's eyes were resolute, and her back was straight.
Song Ning stepped forward and said, "Disciple, you need to hunt down one hundred seventh-rank or higher magical beasts and kill two Demon Lords to complete the test. Moreover, you cannot die even once during this period."
Xie Wanning nodded. Hunting demonic beasts was not difficult; the real challenge was killing demon lords. They had territory and supporters in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, and their techniques were vicious and their minds ruthless, making them difficult to deal with.
However, Xie Wanning was not afraid. She believed that she could definitely pass the test and successfully escape from the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.
The next morning, Xie Wanning bid farewell to her master and mistress and arrived at the Misty Forest, the gathering place of magical beasts in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.
Looking at the charred trees, Xie Wanning recalled the scene when she first came to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, being chased by various demonic beasts.
Although it was a long time ago, the realism of death kept her from letting her guard down.
Xie Wanning swaggered through the forest. When faced with fifth- or sixth-tier magical beasts, she chose to kill them with a single strike, saving her energy to face even stronger beasts.
Suddenly, a strong wind swept in, and a huge body landed in front of Xie Wanning: "Little Phoenix, long time no see, you are indeed alive."
It was an eighth-tier armored black dragon. Its scales were jet black and hard, emitting a bright red light under the crimson moon. Its dragon horns were raised high, like a crown on its head.
"Long time no see, I'm so glad to finally meet you." Xie Wanning stared at the armored black dragon with a forced smile, unpleasant memories flooding her mind.
Compared to the magical beasts that killed her directly, Xie Wanning had a deeper impression of the magical beasts that tortured and killed her, and the armored black dragon in front of her was one of them.
Knowing that the phoenix would rise from the ashes, the armored black dragon wasn't in a hurry to kill Xie Wanning. It flapped its wings to scare her, and as she frantically tried to escape, the dragon ruthlessly pinned her to the ground with its claws, the sharp claws piercing her back. The armored black dragon then soared into the air, swiftly tossing Xie Wanning down from a great height. Just as she was about to hit the ground, it grabbed her again, flew her back up, and tossed her down once more, repeating this cycle endlessly, seemingly enjoying it immensely.
Seeing Xie Wanning lying motionless on the ground, covered in wounds, the armored black dragon mocked, "Aren't you a noble divine beast, the phoenix? How come you can't even defeat an unknown dragon like me? You're such a piece of trash."
The armored black dragon feared sunlight and hated the phoenix, which was born in the light and had a noble status. It vented all its resentment on Xie Wanning. It would not allow Xie Wanning to die. Whenever Xie Wanning was about to die, the armored black dragon would force-feed her herbs to keep her alive so that it could continue to torment her.
Until one accident, the armored black dragon failed to catch Xie Wanning in mid-air, and Xie Wanning fell to the ground, thus freeing her.
"What? Missing me? Want me to help you remember?" the armored black dragon mocked, its eyes full of disdain, as it stretched out its claws to attack Xie Wan Ning.
Xie Wanning remained silent, drew her sword, and instantly, countless sword blades flew out at a speed so fast they were invisible.
Before the armored black dragon could react, its body instantly absorbed all the blades. Its indestructible scales turned to ashes in an instant, and its body was already covered in wounds.
"How is this possible?" The armored black dragon was shocked, its body trembling with excruciating pain. Its eyes turned bloodshot, and it spat out a black fireball that flew towards Xie Wanning, while simultaneously spreading its wings to escape. It had lived for over a thousand years, yet it still couldn't see through Xie Wanning's cultivation level, which set off alarm bells in its mind.
Xie Wanning swung a sword blade, frost-covered, instantly cleaving the fireball in two and simultaneously severing one of the armored black and red wings, preventing it from taking flight.
"Thump!" The armored black dragon immediately landed on the ground, black blood flowing from the severed wing, and its whole body reeked of blood.
The armored black dragon tried to get up, but heard four sharp gusts of wind attacking simultaneously. All four of its claws were severed, and pain swept through its entire body. The armored black dragon let out a painful plea for mercy: "Little Phoenix, no, Lord Phoenix, don't kill me! I can offer you my inner core. Yes, and my dragon horns too. My dragon horns are incredibly hard and can be made into sturdy weapons. You can have anything you want, as long as you spare me. I'm willing to be your slave."
Xie Wan Ning's face was grim, the Luo Ze sword in her hand emitting a silvery-white light, her dark eyes gleaming with a crimson light, her tone light and cheerful: "Fine, your wings, your dragon horns, your tail, I want them all. I also want your life."
A flash of sword light, the icy blade and the fiery blade crisscrossed, tearing the armored black dragon to shreds amidst its agonizing howls.
A fire burned everything to ashes, and Xie Wanning sat on a rock, the flames in her hand transforming into the shape of a dragon.
The flames flickered, emitting a low, guttural sound: "Am I dead? Finally, I'm free from that woman's torment."
Xie Wanning blew on the flames and said with a smile, "No, your soul is still in my hands."
"What...what are you going to do! I'm already dead! You've already taken your revenge!" The voice trembled with fear.
"Haven't you always wanted to know what it's like to be a phoenix? Then I'll use phoenix fire to let you experience it for yourself."
"Don't……"
Flames surged, burning away the soul of the armored black dragon.
Xie Wanning leisurely looked down at the entire forest: "This is just the beginning."
In half a month, all the hundreds of magical beasts in the entire Misty Forest were killed.
Their common characteristic is that they met a girl dressed in white two years ago.
