Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Moonlight Flare

The Moon Empress looked at Cheng Wu, who was kneeling on the ground, and waved her hand without any expression on her face. The Fantasy V Gold Ring Spine Gu was then wrapped around by the muslin-like moonlight, causing it to let out a miserable scream.

Even if the Gold Ring Spine Gu was a Diamond/Fantasy V fey, it still wasn’t able to resist the moonlight at all. In fact, when it was trying to scream, the moonlight trapped its voice and couldn’t get emitted at all.

The serene and beautiful moonlight actually concealed a murderous intent, merciless and sharp. The Moon Empress was even going to give Cheng Wu the chance to explain.

Just as Cheng Wu felt the Gold Ring Spine Gu deteriorating, he became mournful and pounded his head on the ground as he kowtowed and said, “I beg the Moon Empress to spare my life. I, Cheng Wu, am willing to use the rest of my life to serve under the Moon Empress!”

The Moon Empress had a bone-chilling expression, but her voice was still mild and gentle. However, the mild and gentle voice carried an unreserved killing intent.

“Since you wished to kill This Empress’ disciple, you should have known that a killer must be prepared to get killed too.” The Moon Empress paused for a moment and continued. “You are not worthy to serve under This Empress. Repent under the moonlight.”

After hearing the Moon Empress’ words, Cheng Wu’s eyes turned lifeless, and he even forgot to circulate his spirit qi for a moment. Thus, the moonlight instantly disintegrated one of his arms.

The Moon Empress didn’t conceal the killing intent in her words as she wanted Cheng Wu to know that he wasn’t going to escape this calamity. Cheng Wu had never expected that this kid he treated as an insect was actually the Moon Empress’ disciple. If it was some other form of relationship, he might be lucky enough to keep his life.

Earlier on, he had made a move on the Moon Empress’ disciple—a move to kill. Had it not been for the Moon Empress’ obstruction, his Gold Ring Spine Gu might have emptied Lin Yuan’s spinal cord now. At that thought, Cheng Wu’s heart turned into dead ashes.

Just as Cheng Wu felt he was going to vanish under the moonlight, a jade-green bamboo leaf suddenly appeared and hovered over Cheng Wu’s head. The jade-green bamboo leaf was emitting bright green radiance, blocking the concentrated moonlight for Cheng Wu. However, in just a few seconds, the bamboo leaf gradually vanished and was also completely disintegrated by the moonlight.

A white-clothed middle-aged man holding a jade bamboo appeared beside Cheng Wu. The middle-aged man kicked Cheng Wu, sending him flying a dozen meters away and allowing Cheng Wu to leave the most concentrated spot within the moonlight.

Immediately after, a red-armored man appeared beside Cheng Wu, and he emitted spiritual power with a wave of his hand to block off the moonlight that wasn’t considered concentrated.

The red-armored man quickly said, “If the Moon Empress’ Cold Moon Lone Disk continues to emit the moonlight, Cheng Wu will really disintegrate. Will the Moon Empress please reconsider…”

While speaking, the red-armored man released a strand of spirit qi and covered Cheng Wu. The spirit qi strand revolved around Cheng Wu’s body, but it was unable to recover his injuries. As such, the red-armored man was appalled.

He had already heard of the incredible exclusive skill of the Moon Empress’ Cold Moon Lone Disk. The Cold Moon Lone Disk’s exclusive skill, Sublimation, was able to transform any substance into a fourth state apart from gaseous, liquid, or solid states. It would turn the substance into nothingness. After seeing it personally today, it was truly worthy of its reputation.

Cheng Wu might be a pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master, but he had only formed a contract with the source-type lifeform. The Gold Ring Spine Gu was able to enhance the Creation Master’s capability, but it wasn’t really adept in combat. Nonetheless, it was still a Diamond/Fantasy V source-type lifeform, yet it couldn’t even resist the moonlight.

While thinking like that, the red-armored man felt a chill in his heart. His combat strength might be superior to Cheng Wu, but as he sensed the moonlight and looked at the cold moon in the sky, he couldn’t help but wonder how long he could have endured within the moonlight.

When the Moon Empress saw that someone was actually trying to protect Cheng Wu, she frowned. At the moment she frowned, the moonlight emitted a flaring prowess.

The man with the jade bamboo coughed lightly and said, “Moon Empress, Cheng Wu is still a pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master. Even if he really offended you, you have already punished him. He has already lost an arm. Are you able to give This Monarch face and spare Cheng Wu’s life?”

As soon as the Bamboo Monarch finished speaking and saw the Moon Empress’ expression, he could tell the situation wasn’t good. The Moon Empress waved her hand in the sky, while the moonlight revolved around her hand with the cold moon’s color.

The Moon Empress sneered and said, “Give you, the Bamboo Monarch, face? When have I, the Moon Empress, given anyone a face? Could it be that you wish to have your Purple Bamboo Forest have both the sun and moon together for an entire month?”

The three questions the Moon Empress posed made the Bamboo Monarch put on a helpless expression. He was well aware of the Moon Empress’ temper and knew that it was impossible for her to spare Cheng Wu on his account.

Despite that, the Bamboo Monarch glanced at Cheng Wu first before he frowned lightly and said in a serious tone, “Each pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master is the Radiance Federation’s capital. Hence, This Monarch requests for the Moon Empress to be merciful again.”

The Moon Empress said with a cold voice, “The Radiance Federation’s capital? Since when can the Radiance Federation’s capital make a move on a young Class 2 Creation Master? Such capital is already corrupted!”

The Bamboo Monarch finally looked at Lin Yuan, who stood beside the Moon Empress. He looked at the bloodstains on the ground and on Lin Yuan’s body. It was still bright red and had yet to dry up. The blood was so bright red because Lin Yuan’s inner organs had been ruptured, and he had vomited out.

The Bamboo Monarch used his peripheral vision to shoot an arrow-like glance, filled with disgust, at Cheng Wu. He then said to Lin Yuan with a gentle voice, “Young friend, the Moon Empress has already stopped Cheng Wu from making a move against you. Why don’t I ask Cheng Wu to compensate you with some precious spiritual ingredients? I will make sure that he resolves this hatred and will not seek trouble with you ever again.”

Lin Yuan was initially shocked that he could see the Class 5 Creation Master, Bamboo Monarch. Two of the three Class 5 Creation Masters of the Radiance Federation were present.

The Bamboo Monarch’s voice might sound gentle and pleasing, while the way he addressed Lin Yuan as a young friend might seem friendly, but was Lin Yuan really able to refuse this proposal?

Before Lin Yuan could speak, the Moon Empress’ hand revolved with radiance before she grasped it. The Fantasy V Gold Ring Spine Gu was then enveloped in moonlight and started struggling violently under the sudden moonlight flare.

The flaring moonlight instantly sublimated the Diamond/Fantasy V lifeform into the air and turned it into undetectable particles of dust.

“Should I take this as the Bamboo Monarch trying to make things difficult for my disciple? Worms appear from rotting flesh, holes appear in dried up fish. Anything corrupted and rotting should be eliminated. Is the Bamboo Monarch thinking that flowers can be grown from rotting wood and bloom with radiance?”
