Chapter 581: Unsheathing

The reason for the silence was simple. Another person had appeared. Physically, she was a woman. But no one cared about that. All of their pupils constricted at that moment for a different reason. They stared at the vine in the woman’s hand.
A flexster could use a variety of weapons, but soft vines were one of the most difficult weapons to master. A vine-using flexter would be enough to make everyone feel the danger. And if this flexster held a Painted Graphistemma, no one would dare to get within 20 meters of them. Painted Graphistemma was the most famous and powerful vine.
The vine techniques are different from all other weapons and only circulated in very few tribes. “A flexster who uses a vine is the most dangerous flexter,” was a proverb that had been circulating in the House of a Hundred Depths for hundreds of years.
She was no less well equipped than the man. Each of her fingers was covered with a filament of a different color from the tail of the Spotted Peacock. Her wrists were covered with soft vines of dark gold. On her waist was a black vine, which was the Black Silk Vine. She had two unknown vines bounded to her legs, but the texture and luster showed their quality.
Unfortunately, no flexster specialized in vine weapons here. Otherwise, they would be mesmerized seeing the various vines wrapped around the female flexster. Every vine on her body was a precious treasure that countless people dream of. But on her body, they looked like ordinary ornaments.
Chen Mu was ecstatic to see someone else for the first time in two years. Although he was just attacked by the other party, Chen Mu understood what was going on generally. He glanced with some surprise at the blowdart in the hand of the blowgunner who had just attacked him.
Others may not know what the black arrow that attacked him was, but he knew it was an energy form. This is the first weapon in the Hundred Depths he had ever seen that could fire an energy form. He and the Demonic Woman had spent two years in the Hundred Depths. They saw countless plants, but never a plant that could emit energy beams. Seeing Chen Mu attacked, the Demonic Woman glared with a murderous aura at the offender.
The mutual support and dependence in the Hundred Depths for two years had made the relationship between the two far beyond ordinary partners. Coupled with two years of relentless killing, fighting had become her instinct.
Suddenly, the man who attacked Chen Mu screamed! On his chest, a segment of Painted Graphistemma pierced through! The Demonic Woman launched a sneak attack before the eyes of the public, and no one noticed at all. The Painted Graphistemma eerily and deftly disappeared from the man’s chest. Like a living thing, it curled around the Spiritual Blowdarts and flew back into the Demonic Woman’s hand. She handed the weapon to Chen Mu. They worked together so long that they had an unspoken understanding of each other. Using that tacit understanding, she saw that Chen Mu was interested in the blowdarts.
After picking up the blowdarts, Chen Mu put them on his botched bag near his waist. “Let’s go.” Chen Mu said to the Demonic Woman without looking at them. Clearly, this was nothing but trouble. He could only suppress the joy in his heart. Fortunately, he had already stepped out of the Hundred Depths and finally could say goodbye to the primitive life.
“Fine.” The Demonic Woman gently sighed and shook her right hand. “Ah!” Kathleen let out a scream, and her body rose into the air with a jolt from her ankle. At some point, the Painted Graphistemma has wrapped around her ankle, and she didn’t notice. The sudden move scared her out of her wits. In front of these two mysterious, powerful and merciless flexsters, she’s done for this time!
Before these people could react, the three of them had already disappeared. “No!” Gallup’s eyes immediately reddened and got up toward the direction of the three who disappeared in. Kathleen closed her eyes in horror, blinded by the whirling wind.
“Why did you bring her?””Guide.” At this, the stone in Kathleen’s heart finally fell. As a guide? She began to wonder about the pair. The two were a little too scary, and in addition to their ornate weaponry, their strength is tremendous. Kathleen kept comparing the powerful aces she had seen with the two in her mind but came up with the depressing answer: no one could’ve matched them.
And she noticed, too, that the direction in which the two men appeared, and in which they went further inward, was the Realms of Hundred Depths. Did the two come out of the Deep? That’s impossible!
Almost subconsciously, she dismissed the speculation. That was outrageous! No one could walk out from the Deep, which was something that everyone in the House of Hundred Depths knew!
But then, thinking of their valuable equipment, she could not imagine anywhere else with that much rare materials except in that mysterious place. Considering their absolutely frightening strength, her seemingly ridiculous speculation might actually be true.
Chen Mu and the Demonic Woman stopped. Without any movements, the Painted Graphistemma automatically released Kathleen’s body and returned to the Demonic Woman’s hand. Kathleen opened her eyes in horror, she struggled to maintain composure on her face.
“What’s your name?” The Demonic Woman asked coldly. “Kathleen.” She replied carefully. She felt that the woman was far more dangerous and colder than the man. She also noticed that the woman’s tone became soft only when she was facing the man. They must be husband and wife, she thought to herself.
“Where is the nearest city from here?””It’s Fort Mendelssohn.””You lead the way,” The Demonic Woman said without allowing any discussion. Kathleen was glad she knew where to go, or she was sure that this cold woman would not hesitate to turn her into a corpse.
“Yes.” Kathleen nodded in agreement. Kathleen soon found that the speed she was proud of was as slow as a tortoise compared to the two. Most of the time, the cold woman carried her to save time. At last, she knew what lighting speed was! As the hours passed, the pair showed no sign of slowing down.
What scary physical strength! Kathleen thought in her heart. But due to their eye-catching outfits, they met several foolish and greedy people along the way. Kathleen could think of no other word to describe it than stupidity and covetousness. She witnessed once more the strength of the pair.
Most of the time, the man and the woman didn’t even pause. The Blood Eyed Dart on the man’s arm was incredibly powerful! So far, no one has been able to defend against it. It appeared out of nowhere in front of the enemy’s throat and then gently cut their throats.
People died for wealth pitifully like livestock slaughtered for food. Soon, a variety of rumors about this mysterious and powerful pair circulated through the entire outskirts of the Depths. There were many versions of the rumor, but a few points in each version were surprisingly consistent. One, they had luxurious equipment that was rare and powerful, and two, they were overwhelmingly strong.
However, many people saw the first point and automatically chose to ignore the second. The Golden Ring Woodspear, Lotus Leaf Shield, Blood Eyed Dart, Serenity Incense, White Midges Bone and Painted Graphistemma...
Any of the treasures was enough to start a war over. With so many treasures put together, even if the wearer were a mythical dragon, countless people would still want to kill the dragon! What’s more, so many priceless treasures were on two mere human beings.
Rumors spread at an alarming rate, and countless people began to search for this man and woman! The atmosphere of Hundred Depths seemed to have heated up. Chen Mu and the Demonic Woman stopped, and in front of them, a large group of people was greedily staring at the two, even their heavy snorts were clearly audible.
This group of people also just heard this rumor, but they did not expect to meet Chen Mu and the Demonic Woman who were in a hurry. “Hand it over! And we’ll spare you!” One of them couldn’t help shouting, and the words were like pouring a ladle of water over a boiling oil, the crowd burst into figurative flames.
“You pair of dogs! Are you even worthy of such a treasure? Hand it over quietly...””Why are we talking to them! Just cut ’em down and grab ’em!””What if we break the treasure? You wanna take responsibility for that? Boy, how much is it? We’re rich now!”
“It’s raining fortune! Oh, that woman has a nice figure... Hey hey...” Hundreds of people gathered around the three with impunity. Kathleen, her face ashen, recognized them. The Nine-tails Bandits, a vicious notorious bandit group, made up entirely of ferocious extremely strong flexsters. They killed so many people that every one of them had blood on their hands. Countless forces tried to destroy them, but none succeeded. Every member of this group was extremely strong! Especially their leader, who had a fierce reputation and was feared by everyone.
The news about the Spikeless Black Bamboo compelled the bandits to rush to the outskirts of the Hundred Depths. They did not expect their luck to actually meet the rumored pair! If a woman were to fall into their hands... Kathleen trembled in spite of herself as the blood drained from her face!
Chen Mu looked at the hundreds of people in front of him and smiled, “I didn’t think we’d encounter such a big battle right after coming out.””Yeah.” The Demonic Woman gently responded. Chen Mu then stretched his hand to touch his back. When the White Midges Bone entered his hand, his aura suddenly changed! The overwhelming killing intent, without warning, filled every inch of space.
Chen Mu, who was just standing casually, was like a changed person. The grimacing face covered in flowers twisted in the murderous atmosphere. He seemed to have just emerged from a bloody sea, dripping with bright red blood all over. The sword which had experienced countless times of hard battles in the past two years, the sword that carried the souls and wailing of the beasts in the Depths, was finally unsheathed!
