Chapter 485 Silver Moon Nightmare
"Where else can you run to?"
The sword energy spread out.
Breaking through the boundless black mist before them, a grayish-brown body stumbled out.
A flash of sword light appeared, and a hand with distinct knuckles gripped the hilt of the Snow Sword.
Wu Hua stood beneath the protruding rocks, looking down at the lingering, stagnant nightmarish aura.
The next second, in the thick, blood-red nightmare aura, a claw covered in scales tore through the dark mist, revealing a crimson vertical pupil.
It has horns on its head, which are cold and silvery, like two inverted silver moons.
"What exactly do you want?" The hoarse, inhuman roar sounded as if his throat was filled with shards of ice, making a crackling sound.
It sounds extremely awful.
It also carried a strange penetrating power, as if the voice came from the abdomen, "How about we each take a step back? I won't leave Buzhou Domain, so don't come and block me anymore!"
“No.” Wu Hua shook his head slightly: “This deal is not worthwhile.”
With a flick of his sword tip, a smear of snow-white light stained the blade: "If you tell me the exact number and location of your 'accomplices,' I'll give you a quick death."
As the wind and snow arrive, the sword's aura surges.
Within the perpetually misty Buzhou region, there exists a place where wind and snow descend.
The young man in the snow, with each swing of his snow sword, would gather a blizzard of icy cold, so that every pebble and every snowflake became a sword aura.
The wind and snow blocked all of Silver Moon Nightmare's escape routes.
There was nowhere to go.
There is no escape.
"Then go die!" Silver Moon Nightmare suddenly twisted his face into a ferocious expression and bit off both of his own arms.
A large amount of soaring nightmare energy immediately overflowed from the torn wound, enveloping him completely.
Soon, the originally thin and withered Silver Moon Nightmare suddenly grew several times larger, and the Nightmare energy on his body transformed into a layer of silver scales that clung tightly to his entire body.
Along with its severed hands, it also regained a pair of silver claws.
"Come on!" Silver Moon Nightmare roared with overwhelming momentum.
However, Wu Hua didn't look at it, but instead tilted its head slightly and looked towards the northwest in the distance.
A figure in blue appeared.
A clear, cold voice came from Jiuxiao: "Zhanmingshan Wuhua, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"You are... Jixia Academy's Chief Scholar Jiuxiao? I've heard so much about you." Upon seeing the Jixia Academy student's token on the newcomer's waist, Wuhua clasped his hands in a fist and said, "My junior sister is studying at the academy. Thank you for your guidance, Chief Scholar."
Jiuxiao: "It's not a matter of guidance. How much she can improve depends entirely on her own understanding."
She noticed the unusual activity here and that's why she rushed over.
But given the current situation, it seems there's no need for her to intervene.
So she continued speaking.
"Do you need me to cover your retreat?"
"Thank you."
Wu Hua did not refuse.
Then, he turned around, drew his sword, and thrust it at the Silver Moon Nightmare General who was trying to escape.
"It seems that the rumors circulating outside that Zhanming Shan Wuhua is a cultivator with a lightning-attribute heavenly spiritual root can be dispelled," Jiuxiao said calmly.
"This person is very strange. He clearly has a single ice spiritual root and no lightning spiritual root, yet he can mobilize the power of heavenly lightning."
A voice rang out from behind Jiuxiao.
Jiuxiao did not turn around, but only asked:
"You're awake. Are you feeling better?"
"Jiuxiao, I hate the atmosphere here..." Jiuyin reached out from behind, put his arm around Jiuxiao's waist, rested his head on her shoulder, and said in a muffled voice.
Jiuxiao raised his hand and placed it on Jiuyin's forehead, infusing him with a trace of divine soul power.
It was visibly that Jiu Yin's complexion had improved considerably, and he looked much more energetic.
"If it weren't for the Zhou Tian Star Locking Spirit Array, which isolates the outside world and the power of heavenly lightning, this person probably wouldn't have revealed his ice spirit root in front of you, Jiu Xiao."
Jiuxiao guessed: "Perhaps... it's due to a special constitution?"
"Don't think about anyone else!" Jiuyin raised his voice slightly to express his displeasure.
"You said it, how can I not want to?"
You can only listen, not think.
"..." How arrogant.
Jiuxiao did not answer, but when she sensed a group of evil demons attracted by the human aura nearby, she casually pointed and killed them from a distance.
Jiuxiao has always kept its promises.
This is the battlefield.
With her there, no living or dead spirits will interfere.
"..." The battle ended smoothly.
Wu Hua sheathed his sword and returned.
Jiuxiao descended from the sky and looked at Wuhua who was walking towards him. His eyes were calm: "The Silver Moon Nightmare will have to pay a price for forcibly breaking out of the seal. Its strength will be reduced to one-tenth. Even if a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator faces it head-on, as long as they are careful, killing it will not be difficult."
"The difficulty lies in preventing the Silver Moon Nightmare from escaping."
Wu Hua withdrew the recording stone he had been holding in his palm. "Now we can confirm that the seal can no longer stop the escape of the Nightmare Clan at the Silver Moon Nightmare General level. This is not good news."
His inspection tour was based on the speculation of the higher-ups in Zhongzhou that a Nightmare General-level member of the Nightmare Clan might have escaped.
He came to purge.
At the same time, they also came to collect firsthand information about the battle against the Nightmare General, and then take it back for research.
Jiuxiao: "Have the three great dynasties agreed on when to reveal the truth about the Underground Nightmare Clan?"
"Let's leave it as it is for now." Wu Hua shook his head. "Right now, it's just a Nightmare General... it's still a bit too early."
"But above the Silver Moon lies the Blood Moon Nightmare General. If the Blood Moon Nightmare General breaks free from its seal, even a Nascent Soul cultivator could easily be caught off guard and suffer a crushing defeat."
Jiuxiao nodded: "Thank you for the reminder."
She is not at the Nascent Soul stage.
However, the students from Jixia Academy below are mostly at the Nascent Soul stage, so it seems we still need to be vigilant and not be careless to avoid casualties.
"I'll go ahead now; I still have to go to the next pass," Wu Hua said.
"Then I won't see you off." Jiu Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Your junior sister has been assigned to carry out a mission outside the city, which is not very dangerous."
Wu Hua: "Thank you."
"Rong Shu is just a freshman, so we seniors will naturally take extra care of her."
Having said that, Jiuxiao also flew down to this place.
On the way back, Wu Hua suddenly remembered...
He had once heard his senior brother mention a past story about Jiu Xiao, the sixth chief disciple of Jixia Academy.
Back then, when she became the sixth chief disciple of Jiuxiao, her brilliance was enough to make the other geniuses of the academy pale in comparison.
As a result, many people have gradually forgotten the other five academic prodigies who were listed on the Millennium Dragon and Tiger List at the same time as Jiu Xiao.
