Chapter 306: Chapter 307: Legacy (Part 6)

The voice paused for a moment and then turned self-deprecating, “Even I, Xiao Yun was once a genius, but now I have fallen to this state. The Central Province Xiao Family is such a place, where the strong prevails and the competition is fierce. To accelerate your growth, I will pass on all my knowledge to you. With these valuable experiences, you can avoid many detours on your cultivation path. Before you reach Great Perfection, you basically won’t encounter any bottlenecks. However, before that, I hope you can learn my signature skill, the Fiery Triple Strike!”

As the words fell, an image emerged again before Mu Ruyue’s eyes.

In the image was a handsome young man, who bore some resemblance to Xiao Tianyu. He wore a bright red robe and held a Flame Sword in his hand.

Through this image, Mu Ruyue could feel how spirited Xiao Yun had been back then. Little did anyone know, fate had led him to such an end…

“Fiery Triple Strike, with each level, the power increases, and so does the Qi consumption. Now, take some time to comprehend it. You must learn the Fiery Triple Strike within three days. If you can master all three levels, battling across levels won’t be a problem for you.”

Mu Ruyue raised her eyebrows. The Ancestor’s inheritance was truly like timely help in the snow. If she had learned the Fiery Triple Strike earlier, perhaps she could have defeated Nangong Zifeng more easily.

After all, her current strength was not sufficient to fully execute the Nine Heavens Dragon Flame Sword.

At that moment, atop a mountain range, a female corpse lay in the wilderness, with a group of jackals, tigers, and leopards devouring her body, her arm almost completely eaten.

Unseen by the beasts, a transparent human form coldly watched those Demon Beasts feeding on the corpse, her expression icy and unfeeling.

If a powerful martial artist were there, they might have been shocked, for the woman standing aside looked exactly like the corpse on the ground…

“Mu Ruyue, it seems you haven’t regained your memory. The Nine Heavens Dragon Flame Sword was just a fluke,” the woman sneered, a trace of malice flashing in her eyes, “so in this gamble, I win…”

This was what was called placing someone on the brink of death to ensure survival.

She had abandoned this body but managed to preserve her soul…

Typically, innate Martial Artists couldn’t maintain the existence of their Spiritual Body, but there were always exceptions, like the Patriarch of Feng Family using external items to stay, and Nangong Zifeng’s previous incarnation was inherently strong. This body was just a temporary housing for her, and physical destruction was not akin to the obliteration of a soul.

As long as she found a suitable body, she could come back to life. Precisely because Mu Ruyue had not recovered her memory, Zifeng was able to exploit a loophole…

“Such a pity, I had cultivated so much strength,” the woman lightly shook her head, a slight sigh of regret escaping her, “Next time, I must find a stronger body and won’t show up before her unless I have enough strength.”

She remembered the lesson this time. If she hadn’t been too impatient, she would not have ended up like this.

So, if there were a next time, she had to be fully prepared to face that woman…

“But after all, I have undergone Body Seizing once before. I must find a suitable body within two months, or else I will vanish from this world. Before I get Brother Wuchen, I can’t die! Perhaps Central Province is a good choice. It teems with geniuses and countless strong ones. Only with substantial strength can I take Brother Wuchen back.”

The woman sneered coldly, a fierce glint sweeping through her beautiful eyes. She didn’t even glance at her own corpse before lightly drifting away from the place…
