Wave of Beasts Their faces darkened after seeing Qin Mo eating the purification spirit fruit. The old man especially couldn"t maintain his n.o.ble att.i.tude and clenched his fists. He glared at Qin Mo and cursed, “b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
Qin Mo didn"t hesitate and fled to the swamp"s periphery.
A fight with them at his current strength wasn"t an option, so Qin Mo used all of his spirit power to fly faster.
They saw a blurred figure skipping through the air like lightning.
The old man snorted, “Chase him!”
With a flash of their swords, they followed suit.
A strong wind blew in his ear, and with a tremble of fear in his heart, Qin Mo stopped.
“Boom!” A spear appeared from the sky and pierced the ground in front of him, its red ta.s.sel shaking in the air. The air in front of him trembled, and the old man appeared before him.
“Hum! Running away as soon as you finished eating? It won"t be that easy!” Rage filled his eyes and a murderous aura covered him. His hands jerked in the air and a long, water dragon charged in Qin Mo"s direction.
Qin Mo"s eyes focused, and he retreated. He quickly connected hand seals, and the purple lightning fire turned into a wall of fire and collided with the water dragon.
“Chi!” under the old man"s amazed gaze, the wall of fire blocked the water dragon.
“Hmm! You have some skill!” A grin appeared on the old man"s face, he snorted and raised a hand, prepared to release a series of attacks at Qin Mo.
The air trembled again as the yellow-robed man and Liu Qingzhou came into view, the unnamed man said, “Wait!” trying to stop the old man.
Prevented from attacking, the old man"s face darkened even more and asked, “Attendant He, what are you doing!”
The yellow-robed man glanced at the alert Qin Mo, his eyes flashed and said, “He is Yueqing Sect"s head disciple after all!”
The warning stiffened the old man"s movement. He was too focused on killing Qin Mo that he forgot his ident.i.ty.
Liu Qingzhou knew in his heart that the two Attendants would let Qin Mo go, and he looked at him with hatred.
He turned to the two Attendants and said, “Attendant Meng, Attendant He, we can"t let Qin Mo go! He ate the whole purification spirit fruit, and once a person eats the spirit fruit, their flesh and blood will have the same effect. As for Yueqing Sect, how would they know if we don"t speak about it?”
Their expressions changed, eyes slowly reddened, and their breathing became heavy.
Qin Mo felt a bad feeling in his heart and turned around, trying to leave.
As soon as he turned around the old man appeared in front of him and screamed, “Where are you going!?” Faced with a spear, he glanced at the yellow robe man blocking his back.
Qin Mo"s eyes narrowed. His hands twisted in the air, and a long sword formed by the lightning fire appeared in his hand.
The two attendants looked at each other and simultaneously launched forward.
With the imminent attacks from both the front and the back, Qin Mo"s lightning fire sword danced, forming a barrier around him.
During their battle, no one noticed the little fox on Qin Mo"s shoulder raise its head to the sky and let out a piercing cry.
With a loud "Bang!" the barrier around Qin Mo shattered, and the spear penetrated his left shoulder. The attendant"s attack behind him also landed on his back.
Qin Mo"s lips became white, but his expression remained cold. Without hesitation, he pulled the spear from his left shoulder and threw it to the ground without taking his eyes off the old man before him.
Against Qin Mo"s ruthless gaze, a smile appeared on attendant Meng"s face, and he said, “You can rest a.s.sured that you won"t die in vain, we will make good use of your flesh and blood!”
Qin Mo hated his lacking cultivation for the first time. His gaze swept over the three people in front of him, and Qin Mo decided that even if he died, he wouldn"t be so cowardly! The spirit power in his Diantain churned nonstop, his pale face flus.h.i.+ng.
Attendant He, who had been watching Qin Mo, noticed the change on his face and cried to the other, "No, stop him, he"s going to self-destruct!"
The sudden roar of a fierce beast echoed around them. It was so loud the land trembled.
This shocked them and forced them to stop, even the spirit power in Qin Mo"s Diantian subsided.
The sound grew closer and closer, as if coming toward them.
Attendant Meng"s face paled. He looked in the direction of the sound and said in a tone beyond belief, “A wave of beasts! It"s an actual wave of beasts!”
The four men saw everything clearly.
Hundreds of beasts rushed towards them. Among them were beasts at the building foundation and others at the core formation. They wore ferocious expressions and there was no path for the living before them.
Attendant Meng"s face changed a few times, and he gritted his teeth, "Go!" He reached out to grab Qin Mo, planning to drag him along.
Qin Mo avoided the hand, turned, and ran toward the herd. He knew that it was his only chance. They would catch if he didn"t. He might as well enter the crowd and have a chance of living.
Qin Mo looked at the three people behind him, and his eyes darkened, “You better pray that I die here, otherwise…”
They didn"t expect Qin Mo to act like that, but Attendant Meng didn"t take it seriously. After all, no one came out of a wave of beasts alive. He sighed and left with the other two.
Even though he was feeling in severe pain, Qin Mo didn"t dare to relax as he watched the surrounding beasts. There were so many of them, he knew it wouldn"t be easy to deal with.
To his surprise, the monsters ignored him and surged around him, chasing after attendant Meng, attendant He and Liu Qingzhou.
Qin Mo"s eyes narrowed, and doubt surged in his heart. The pain continued to spread in his body, and he stopped thinking to find a hidden place where he could rest.
He saw a waterfall nearby, the sun s.h.i.+ning on the water and reflecting light.
Joy filled his heart because he saw a hidden cave behind the waterfall.
Considering he was fleeing for a long time, he presumed the three men could no longer find him, and he decided to stay in the cave.
Because of his injuries, he was exhausted and used his remaining strength to enter the cave. He barely made it inside before falling to the ground.
Right before he fainted, he heard a familiar voice cry out, “Ds.h.i.+xiong!”
Lin Zizheng knelt on the ground, holding the fainted Qin Mo in his arms. His gaze swept over the bloodstains on his body and with red eyes, he murmured, “Ds.h.i.+xiong!”
