Chapter 72: Witch's Heart, Sea-Bottom Needle
……
Look at Chen Mo again, his face was painful earlier, but now it's flushed with excitement, the corners of his mouth raised, unable to hold back a dry lip, he jumped up and leaped into the air like an eagle swooping down on a rabbit, landing on a boulder, then jumping up again, the boulder under his feet shattered, stones flying wildly as they fell, and he was already dozens of feet away.
Calm and collected, Chen's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, the wind whipping his face as he turned to gaze at Mingyu Lian, who was still unconscious.
"Whoosh..." A faint rustling of stones, a thread of light seeped out from within, Chen Mo was startled by this subtle movement, his gaze shot over piercingly.
After undergoing some kind of transformation, Xiao Ba stretched out his four limbs and crawled to his front, standing up in front of the cave entrance with a vigilant look in his eyes.
"Boom!"
A loud noise, the cave entrance splashed with mud and rocks. A gray fist appeared in the swirling dust, entering the line of sight. Then the dust rushed forward, Chen Mo retreated two steps alertly, covering his mouth and nose, but his eyes stared fixedly at the front through the gap.
When the dust settled, Chen Mo saw the three people who appeared at the entrance of the cave. They were the ones who had been ordered by Qu Muqing to intercept him nearby and not let him go to Changchun Valley.
For those vicious and cruel dog legs, Chen Mo had long since stored up the intention to kill. It was just that for that leader with a knife scar on his face, a strong man of the Seventh Stage of the Spiritual Master, he was somewhat apprehensive.
Not to mention the other two are also superior to me in terms of cultivation.
Once you fall into a state of being besieged on all sides, the situation is extremely unfavorable.
Such a terrain, steep on all sides, with only one exit, even if you want to escape, it's hard.
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind at lightning speed, solemn to the extreme. However, his face was calm and composed, with a serene and tranquil expression.
"Little rabbit, look where you're running..." Scarface sneered and approached step by step. Just as his voice fell, he caught sight of Mingyu Lian lying on the ground.
Chen Mo whispered "this is not good".
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, after exchanging a glance, their faces changed drastically.
Among them, a tall and thin man took two steps back, his voice trembling as he said, "It is, it's the Poison Guanyin." As if he had seen a poisonous dragon.
The last fat guy's first reaction was to run away.
The scar-faced man with the knife was the first to react, shouting angrily: "What are you panicking about? Even if it is a poisonous Guanyin, it's already been seriously injured. Look at its face, and the blood on its body and the ground!"
As soon as this was said, it actually shocked everyone awake, and they carefully examined the poisonous Guanyin lying on the ground.
Each face showed a look of surprise.
Scarface looked at Chen Mo, then glanced at Poison Guanyin, and his ferocious expression suddenly turned gentle. "Chen Mo, right? To be honest, we're just passing by each other like floating water. It's just that I owe Qi Muqing a favor, so I had to come and block you. Why don't we just pretend we never met? You go your way on the Yangguan Road, and I'll go my way on the Lonely Wooden Bridge."
Chen Mo knew that Chi Yan Wang had put a large bounty on Ming You Lian, so how could he not know the other party's intention?
Although his heart was filled with rage, he put on a poker face and pretended to agree, saying: "Alright, Xiao Ba, let's go."
Chen Mo indeed did not know that the dark lotus on the ground was slightly trembling with its eyelashes.
Just like a leisurely stroll in the courtyard, Chen Mo led Xiao Ba to disperse and pass by, but when he crossed paths with the scar-faced man, he suddenly sprang into action.
But at the same time, Scarface was also bursting out with a ferocious smile.
It's clear that both of them were thinking of the same thing.
"Soft Water Fist."
"Thunder Cannon."
The wind knows before the man arrives.
Weak Water Fist is a fist, and the Shocking Thunder Cannon is also a fist. One is like flowing water, and the other is like shocking thunder. The two are mutually polar opposites, and at this moment they collide with a loud crash.
A loud crash, the air rippled and shook, like a wave of water spreading out.
The two of them unconsciously retreated several steps, staring at each other with sharp eyes.
"You're looking for death, little rabbit." Scarface's scheme had failed, and he was now furious, pouncing forward with a fierce fist: "You'll die alongside that worthless woman."
"King Kong's mighty roar."
Chen Mo's face was calm and peaceful, his feet stomped firmly on the ground, his horse stance steady, his shoulders like a spear.
After taking a hard punch, his shoulder heavily collided with Knife Scar's body, sending him flying 7 or 8 steps back.
The tactics used were a life-and-death struggle, with injuries exchanged for injuries.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Chen Mo's Qihai Guangming Xuanqi suddenly burst out and launched a swift thunderbolt that contained the violent aura of Taohuang Ben Lei Dao, directly striking the innocent fatty.
In the blink of an eye, he made another clever move, using a diversionary tactic.
The fatty was also a strong Tier 4 or 5 Spirit Master and immediately turned pale with fright, counterattacking with a punch in his panic.
A flower appeared before his eyes, a loud crash was heard, and he felt as if his chest had shattered like it had been struck by lightning. His body flew backward, slamming into the cliff wall, causing rocks to tumble down.
It was as if a hammer had smashed through a broken drum, with the dark energy invading and smashing his internal organs to pieces.
"Thud." A heavy object fell to the ground, like a watermelon bursting open. His head hit a sharp rock, his brains splattered everywhere, and his scream was abruptly cut off. His body was now a mess of flesh and blood, reduced to a pile of gore.
At this time, even if one holds their breath, that extremely strong smell of blood would still rush into the nostrils, making one feel nauseous.
Chen Mo killed the enemy with one blow, but it wasn't a pleasant experience. The fat man's counterattack before his death was quite sharp, and one punch hit him in the chest. After flipping over several times, he fell in front of Ming Youlian.
A mouthful of blood was swallowed back, and his face turned pale as a golden foil.
Two consecutive hits, suffered a severe injury, even with the help of green liquid, it's not easy to recover in a short time.
A fifth-tier spirit master was killed by a fourth-tier spirit master like this.
"You little beast!" The tall and thin figure let out a loud roar, a surge of anger bursting from his dantian and shooting straight up to the top of his head, ferociously pouncing on Chen Mo.
Scarface was also furious. A thread of blood burst out, like a wild beast preying on people. Among several brothers, two had already died at Chen Mo's hands.
"Ahh!"
Sensing its master's danger, Xiao Ba, who had just advanced to a higher level, let out a roar like an ancient ferocious beast, and its voice was filled with a majestic power that could tear gold and split rocks.
At the same time, his body shape did not stop expanding. In the blink of an eye, it grew from a pet turtle the size of a millstone to three or four zhang long and over one zhang wide. A row of thorns on its back quickly grew out, like sharp swords, and on its head, a single horn as sharp as a spear protruded.
Xiao Ba's transformation shocked Chen Mo as well, but at this moment, it was clearly not the time to dwell on it.
He spread his limbs and ran wildly, entangling himself with the tall and thin Ling Shi of the sixth rank.
"You little mongrel, this feud will not be settled until I die!" The strongest Scarface roared with a powerful gust of wind, and suddenly killed Chen Mo.
"Old dog, go die."
The surging gas and blood in his body, Chen Mo also made a swift flash of lightning.
This time's target is still not Scarface, but that tall and thin guy who was pestered by Xiao Ba.
"Bang." Chen Mo was as silent as a ghost, his knee flying through the air like a spear, suddenly colliding with Xiao Gao's chest, kicking him back repeatedly. As soon as he stabilized his feet, Xiao Ba's thorny tail swept across the air with a sharp whistling sound.
With a loud crack, he was lifted into the air.
Chen Mo let out a loud roar, leaping high into the air as lightning crackled around him, like a giant from ancient times, his feet stomping on the earth.
"Heavenly Thunder Explode!"
A majestic and unparalleled palm force, like an angry dragon emerging from the sea, roaring away. The tall and thin figure was shocked and furious, with nowhere to hide or avoid. He stiffly received it with a twisted posture.
Boom!
A mighty energy collision stirred up a formless ripple wave.
In mid-air, a tall and thin figure was blasted into the mountain cave like a cannonball, and the rolling rocks buried him.
Chen Mo flew out for dozens of feet before crashing down beside Ming Youlian, the blood that had been suppressed in his chest finally bursting forth uncontrollably.
"You little brat, you killed my three brothers, I want you dead!" Scarface, having been fooled once again, let out a thunderous roar, with a strong aura bursting forth, charging straight at Chen Mo.
Xiao Ba sprinted over with his legs spread wide apart.
Chen Mo smiled bitterly and was still going all out. He secretly manipulated the Xuan Qi, preparing to use his final killing move, Vajra Subdues the Demon.
But this move is also extremely risky. If he can't be killed, the only hope left will be to rely on Xiao Ba who has just advanced and possesses decent combat strength.
At this critical juncture.
Suddenly, a dark blue sword tip flew out, spinning and twisting the surrounding air, rubbing against countless heavy winds, breaking through the air and almost touching Chen Mo's cheek.
"Hmm……" A soft sound, and the scar-faced man's charge came to a halt. His gloomy face showed an expression of incredulity and astonishment, his body stiffened in place. He lowered his head, staring at his own chest in shock and bewilderment.
A huge hole in his chest, Chen Mo could even see through the hole that Xiao Ba was rushing towards him like a prehistoric beast. The edges of the hole were surrounded by thick and dark blue killing intent, which grew extremely fast and quickly spread throughout his body.
Bang!
Angry Xiao Ba, the turtle-headed man violently collided with him, and Knife Scar Face flew out wildly. The entire person was corroded like yellow sand and scattered with a loud noise, turning into countless flying ash. Those ashes spun in the air, spinning less and less, until nothing was left.
"This..."
Chen Mo jumped up in shock, and for a moment, his eyes were shrouded by a black veil. A faint scent of perfume wafted into his nostrils and pierced his heart.
His heart was racing with anxiety as he stared at the lotus flower floating in mid-air, and it suddenly dawned on him that she had been awake all along.
Her face was as clear and cold as the moonlight, her skin delicate and translucent. The black veil that covered her face rose and fell with each breath, like a dreamy mist. Her eyes were like two pools of autumn water, reflecting the faint, wispy clouds that drifted lazily across them. It was so serene, so icy, yet it didn't feel cold at all.
Just now the majestic Xiao Ba suddenly shrunk to the size of a millstone, blinked its turtle eyes twice, and hastily hid behind Chen Mo. Where was even half of its divine beast demeanor?
Her eyes, like lotus flowers in the underworld, gazed at him with a complexity that was hard to fathom, her mood as changeable as the weather. After a long while, she nodded slightly and floated away, disappearing into the distance like an ethereal fairy in this desolate environment.
Nothing was said, and nothing was done. All that remained was a faint scent wandering in the silent heart and lungs, a dazed and bewildered fragrance.
What a relief, what a relief, no need for her to thank herself. As long as it's not just a momentary anger, getting rid of herself would be a relief.
Chen Mo, who had come back to his senses, was about to leave the valley, but he immediately stopped in his tracks. He turned around and gathered up the spoils of war: several miscellaneous martial arts manuals, some medicinal pellets, and a total of over a hundred thousand gold tickets, which was quite a bountiful harvest. His heart couldn't help but feel a little thrilled.
This fierce battle was worth fighting after all. Having calmed down a bit, I hurriedly headed towards Changchun Valley.
