Chapter 34 - 34 34 Brutal Beating
34: Chapter 34: Brutal Beating 34: Chapter 34: Brutal Beating Feeling the aura of Mu Can continuously escalating, the Martial Pavilion Elder began to sense that something might be slightly amiss; the two people in front of him were just too composed, a calmness that made the Martial Pavilion Elder feel a bit uneasy.
What he didn’t know was that if he had insisted on taking action to kill Mu Can outside earlier, then Purple Cloud would have to pay a heavy price to protect Mu Can’s safety.
But unfortunately for him, he chose to enter Mu Can’s Sea of Consciousness in the form of a soul, which in Purple Cloud’s eyes was no different from delivering himself on a platter.
However, there is no such thing as a regret medicine in the world, and with his body already turned to ash, the Martial Pavilion Elder could only opt for a last stand.
Mu Can felt as if the strength of his soul made his soul’s entity become tangible.
The abundant power made him feel like he was the Sovereign of this world.
“I am temporarily lending you my Soul Power to dispose of this disgusting old geezer for me,” Purple Cloud said indifferently.
Even though the Martial Pavilion Elder now looked like a young man, Purple Cloud could not forget the repulsive expression he had when he mentioned her just moments ago.
And even if the Martial Pavilion Elder died trying, he would never guess that the chief culprit who caused the Mu Family to go to great lengths to send their clan members to the Lower Realm was none other than the woman before him.
But if he knew the truth, one wonders whether he would faint from shock.
The legend of yesteryear was not dead, but instead existed within the Sea of Consciousness of a junior from the Mortal World.
Is the truth of this world not a bit too crazy?
“Come then, let’s see if there is anyone in the Mortal World who can surpass me,” the Martial Pavilion Elder thought, even as he sensed something was off.
But given that matters had come to this point, this battle was inevitable.
There was no turning back.
“Do you know?
What I hate the most is being deceived by others, especially when it comes to my feelings?” Mu Can looked at the Martial Pavilion Elder with anger, devoid of emotion in his voice.
The old man before him had always seemed to be the elder who was especially affectionate towards him, and even at the moment when Mu Can was lying on the table, he still couldn’t bring himself to believe the elder intended to possess his body.
It was only after the elder himself admitted his intentions just now that Mu Can’s fury ignited; I regarded you as my grandfather, yet you want to seize my body.
“Good child Can’er, what’s wrong with sacrificing your body to your ancestor?
I assure you, I will lead the Mu Family back to the Heavenly Realm,” the soul state Martial Pavilion Elder looked only a few years older than Mu Can.
However, his eyes seemed incredibly weather-worn, having witnessed countless vicissitudes in the Human World.
Later, to preserve his power, he didn’t even lift a finger when the Mu Family was pursued and hunted down and only led the Mu Family to Pingyun City.
The heart of the ancestor of the Martial Pavilion was much harder than it appeared.
“Bullshit, what am I supposed to do when you possess me?
You would feel great, but I would be dead,” Mu Can cursed loudly at the absurdity of the situation.
“Hehe, without me, the Mu Family in the Mortal World would have perished many times over.
I have guarded the Mu Family for so many years, now just demanding the body of a junior, is that excessive?
Do you know how much I yearn to return to the Heavenly Realm?
Ah, do you?” the Martial Pavilion ancestor roared with anger, his crazed tone actually filled with desolation.
“Are you sick?
You want immortality so I should die?
You’re just a lunatic,” Mu Can felt irritated, finding it impossible to communicate with him.
This man must have gone mad in the Human World.
“Kid, why bother talking to him?
Just beat him down for me,” Purple Cloud waved her hand, and a table with a chair appeared before her, where she settled down leisurely.
On the table, surprisingly, there were Immortal Fruits from a layer of the Reincarnation Pearl.
Purple Cloud was actually planning to watch the fight while snacking.
“Hehe, and you too, no matter who you are, I’ll make sure you enjoy yourself later.
It’s been thousands of years since I’ve been with a woman, what a rare beauty you are.
Let me teach you, the sensation of the soul is no different from the body.”
Seeing Purple Cloud’s reaction, the Martial Pavilion Elder sinisterly said, while not forgetting to skim over Purple Cloud’s curvy figure with his eyes.
He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips in a disgustingly vile manner.
“Little brat, hit him for me, will you?
Or are you waiting for me to buy you a ticket?” Purple Cloud, upon hearing what the Martial Pavilion Elder said, cursed loudly in anger.
This old geezer, what a disgusting pervert.
“You old fart, dare to insult my Sister Cloud, watch me beat you to death.” At this point, Mu Can didn’t care whether you were a member of the Mu Family or not.
The only thought in his mind was, if you dare to try to possess my body and insult my Sister Cloud, I won’t call myself a Mu if I don’t beat you half to death.
The soul clash was simple and primitive since in a soul state there was no way to utilize any moves; one could only rely on the strength of the soul to fight.
That was also why, as soon as Purple Cloud made a move, I had to catch Mu Can’s body.
Outside, even with her Immortal Venerable Level soul, her combat capability was extremely limited.
Despite its simplicity, a soul fight was no less dangerous than a physical fight.
In physical combat, wounds can heal, but soul injuries are incredibly hard to recover from, like climbing to the sky.
Not everyone is lucky enough to possess a Reincarnation Pearl.
Mu Can roared and charged forward, instantly getting entangled and fighting with the Martial Pavilion Elder.
An Immortal from the Immortal World descending to the Mortal World and an ordinary youth with only Martial Arts Sect strength but reinforced by Immortal Venerable Level Soul Power.
And like that, they ended up in this mysterious place, fighting like little kids brawling in the streets.
The moment they clashed, the Martial Pavilion Elder sensed something was off.
Based on his understanding, even if Mu Can burst through the heavens and consumed Spirit Pills, he would only have Martial King strength.
A soul with Martial King strength was no different from a common person; one could only start cultivating the soul after entering the Immortal World.
This was why the Martial Pavilion Elder was so confident in handling Mu Can; he felt that there were far too few people in the Human World capable of contending with him on a soul level.
However, today was a lucky day; he was facing one right now, Purple Cloud, the Immortal Realm Supreme.
With the support of Purple Cloud’s Soul Power, Mu Can managed to exchange blows with the Martial Pavilion Elder happily back and forth.
“Kick him down there, kick him down there.
Are you stupid?
Kick him!
This old guy has an unsteady lower stance.” Purple Cloud shouted while eating, evidently enjoying the show, and even poured herself a drink.
“Sister Cloud, can you not be so vulgar?” Dodging a fierce kick from the Martial Pavilion Elder, Mu Can managed to say in between.
“Haha, you do your fighting, aim for his face.” Purple Cloud burst into laughter and said.
Mu Can was at a loss for words; Sister Cloud was great in every way, but this personality of hers was just too abnormal, with her mood changing faster than the weather—utterly unpredictable.
He fiercely exchanged a punch with the Martial Pavilion Elder, and both stepped back.
“Who on earth are you?” The Martial Pavilion Elder asked fiercely, looking at Purple Cloud, who was casually enjoying the scene.
If he couldn’t tell that something was wrong and it was linked to Purple Cloud after all this fighting, then all his years of living really were a waste.
