--- Chapter 11 ---
Yin Bo activated his Martial Soul, Silver Crow. Two silver crow wings grew on his back as his hands turned into sharp talons.
I watched with interest, seeing Yin Bo's 1st and 2nd spirit rings lit up.
"1st Spirit Skill: Broken Claw!"
"2nd Spirit Skill: Crow's Eyes!"
"Take my attack, Silver Crow's Talon Strike!"
Yin Bo clashed with the Moon-coiled White Snake, swiping his talon-like hand at the spirit beast. Unfortunately, his attacks couldn't even leave a scratch on the snake's scale.
"Guys, attack the snake together!" He roared at his subordinates.
Silver Crow Mercenary started surrounding the Moon-coiled White Snake and bombarding the spirit beasts with the spirit skills. They were able to do some damage this time, but it wasn't enough.
After all, besides Yin Bo, who was Spirit Ancestor, the rest of Silver Crow Mercenary is only Spirit Grandmaster with not-so-optimal spirit ring configurations.
In fact, it makes the Moon-coiled White Snake angrier.
The Moon-coiled White Snake hissed at the sky, and an intense moon blast burst from its mouth, blasting everyone around like a laser.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
My sister and I hid behind a thick tree, watching all this unfold.
I used my Eyes of Truth, wanting to see this Moon-coiled White Snake's information.
[Name: Moon-coiled White Snake (Mutated)]
[Race: Spirit Beast (Snake-type)]
[Cultivation: 2,469 Years Old]
[Description: A Moon-coiled White Snake, who has received the baptism of moonlight for a hundred years and possessed a thin bloodline of Moon Dragon. It was adept in controlling moonlight and could shoot a white ray that could ignore 10% of one's defense below its cultivation. The lower the enemy's cultivation compared to it, the better ignore defense it could do]
[Obtainable Spirit Skills: Moon Beam (80%), White Snake Transformation (15%), Moon Dragon's Roar(4%), Moon Dragon's Aura(1%)]
[Moon-coild White Snake's weakness: the area behind its head is very vulnerable]
My eyes widened in disbelief because the Eyes of Truth could see the possible Spirit Skills one could get upon absorbing Moon-coiled White Snake.
He didn't expect the Eyes of Truth to have such a function.
He also can see the weakness of this spirit beast.
Eyes of Truth. What an overpowered talent!
Meanwhile, the Silver Crow Mercenary Team was in a pinch. They couldn't resist the attack from the Moon-coiled White Snake, especially when the moon ray could ignore their defense.
"No, Ah Long!" Yin Bo watched his subordinates die one after another, crying out blood.
"Argh!"
Yin Bo's 3rd and 4th spirit rings lit up. His silver wings became bigger and slashed at the Moon-coiled White Snake.
"Third Spirit Skill: Mighty Wings!"
"Fourth Martial Soul: Silver Flash!"
Yin Bo was successful this time. His attack cut through the snake's thick scale.
However, a silent arrow suddenly pierced his throat.
Yin Bo couldn't even react as he clutched his throat in horror. He looked up and saw my sister standing in the shadow of two trees. Her eyes were colder than ice.
After I told my sister about Yin Bo's plan, her resolution to kill reached its peak. It's not because these people planned to blackmail Merchant Union, but because they planned to hurt me.
If there is one thing in this world that my sister is very protective of, then it would be me.
Yin Bo and others who planned to ambush me signed their death contract upon thinking so.
I watched Yin Bo's battered body become blood-red as fire poison from an overdose of Whale Glue plus Foundation Building Liquid razzed inside his body.
Then, the leader of the Silver Crow Mercenary fell.
The others were shocked by this outcome.
They wanted to run, but how can I let them do so?
I summoned a handful of Purple Silver Grass. The grass wrapped my right hand, and I charged it with my spirit energy, which caused electricity in the grass to be excited and the cry of a thousand birds to echo in the forest.
ZZZT!
"System, task."
[Please enter your input]
"I will finish the rest of these mercenaries in ten, no, five seconds."
[Input Taken]
[You have three seconds to finish eleven mercenaries]
I used Flash Step and appeared before the nearest mercenary, piercing his chest with Chidori. Blood evaporated upon touching my lightning, and I continued my slaughter.
[1/11]
Some people might think what I did was too much.
"Arrgh!"
[2/11]
However, that's just how a "cultivation world" works.
"Please-! ARRGH!"
[4/11]
Here, strength is all that matters.
"I have family at home, so please don't kill me!"
"Me too!"
"Don't care." I killed three people in a row.
[7/11]
"Fight back!"
"We can't let our brother's sacrifice go in vain!"
"Yes, let's fight back!"
"I will kill you, brat!"
I sneered at their attempt to fight back as I moved like a ghost, stripping them away from their lives. My Chidori flickered as I became more proficient in this killing technique.
The feeling of piercing through anything without resistance is quite a marvel.
ZZZT!
BANG!
[11/11]
[Ding! Congratulations on finishing your task]
[Rewarding 1x chance of insight regarding lightning elements]
I turned around and saw my sister staring at me with a smile.
"Sister, do you think what we are doing is wrong?" I asked her, testing her limit.
My sister's smile widened a little, "No."
"Why?" I tilted my head innocently.
"Because they wanted to harm you. No one should harm my brother, and I would kill them if they were even thinking about it~!" Han Yue replied with intense love.
I sighed in my heart. It seemed I had created a monster.
However, I like her like this. It's better to be cruel than naive.
I glanced at the littered corpses around me and said, "Go and kill the Moon-coiled White Snake. The back of its head is the weakness, and you can use the sharp dagger to pierce it."
"Don't worry about the spirit beast's aggression. Someone weakened it enough for us."
Han Yue nodded, "I know."
She walked to the Moon-coiled White Snake before piercing the back of its head mercilessly with her dagger. It was a swift, accurate strike that ended the snake's life.
Hey, at least my sister doesn't make the spirit beast suffer too much.
I pulled a few bottles and poured them into the corpses of Silver Crow Mercenary, meeting them into a colorless puddle. Throwing some sand and rocks, I covered their death.
Well, some people might find some clues. But it doesn't matter because I have a plan to make their death justifiable.
A purple spirit ring rose from the Moon-coiled White Snake, and my sister stared at it with desire. Her Martial Soul wanted to absorb it.
I gave her a knowing look and instructed, "Sit down and circulate your cultivation techniques. Then, you can pull the spirit ring into your Martial Soul and absorb it."
My sister nodded, sitting down and using her cultivation techniques to soothe her excitement. Then, she summoned her Glorious Moon and pulled the purple spirit ring with it.
The Glorious Moon is shining brightly.
An image of a Moon-coiled White Snake approached the Glorious Moon before getting swallowed by it.
Three minutes later.
My sister opened her eyes, "Is this what an absorbing spirit ring feels like? It feels better than I thought."
"My physique, mental strength, and spiritual energy have transformed dramatically."
"As for my spirit rank, it has reached Level 17."
I clapped my hands, "Congratulations, Sister."
Han Yue smiled and shook her head. "It's all thanks to you, Yuan. Whether it was the chance to become a Spirit Master or the resources and techniques, my achievements are also your achievements!"
"But it would be useless if you don't put effort into it. Don't sell yourself shortly, Sister." I rubbed my nose.
"By the way, what is your 1st Spirit Skill?"
My sister summoned her Glorious Moon, and a shocking purple spirit ring rose from the ground. She smugly looked at me and said, "Watch this."
"1st Spirit Skill: Moon Dragon's Aura!"
A faint silver light burst from my sister's body, increasing all her attributes by 200%. In this state, her control over the Yin attribute and lunar force increased three times, allowing her to manipulate energy smoothly.
"I can also do this." She tried mimicking my Chidori, but a sharp moonlight covered her hand instead of a spark.
I can see she was disappointed.
She waved her hand casually and sent a moonblade flying. Several trees within five-meter ranges became sawdust.
BOOM!
The power has exceeded your typical Spirit Grandmaster. No, not even Spirit Elder has such a powerful spirit skill.
As expected of a 2,469-year-old spirit ring, the improvement it brought to my dear sister is significant.
I sighed, "Your future is limitless, Sister."
"No!" Han Yue shook her head stubbornly. "If I want to protect you, this much stronger is useless."
"I want to become a Title Douluo!"
"Then, I will help you reach Title Douluo quickly." I smiled proudly.
We checked the Moon-coiled White Snake's body and wasn't surprised to find the spirit beast has no spirit bone. I stored the corpse in Sky Poison Pearl and looked at the bright sky.
"Let's explore the Soul Hunting Forest."
"I heard there is a suitable Spirit Beast for my Purple Silver Grass."
"Hehe, then Sister will help you hunt this Spirit Beast. I will show you the might of the Glorious Moon after absorbing its first spirit ring!" My sister proudly patted her chest and lifted her chin.
I laughed, "Haha, I can't wait."
