Chapter 69: Chapter 54 The Mantis Catches the Cicada, How Many Yellow Sparrows Are Behind? (2-in-1 Big Chapter) _2
Feeling the aura emanating from that alluring woman, Chu Zhuo’s face involuntarily shifted.
It seemed to be... demon?
At this moment, he finally understood why Young Master Zhou wanted him to keep an eye on Chen Mo!
The matter was of great consequence, and Chu Zhuo dared not wade into these troubled waters, a retreat already forming in his mind.
However, at that moment, Zhou Li, out of the corner of his eye, spotted him and loudly exclaimed: "Chu Zhuo! We’re all in the same boat, once trouble starts none of us can escape!"
Chu Zhuo’s steps halted, his expression fluctuating.
If he left now, no matter who survived in the end, it would be a disaster for him!
Considering the strength of both sides, Zhou Li was a fifth-grade Martial Artist, and that alluring woman was even stronger. Together with himself, victory seemed assured!
Since that was the case, might as well go all in!
"What are you hesitating for? Take action now!" Zhou Li shouted angrily.
"After all, we have already completely offended Chen Mo and Lin Jingzhu, might as well take this chance to eradicate future problems!"
"At the same time, it would also secure a good standing with the Zhou Family!"
In a flash of thought, Chu Zhuo had made up his mind!
...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The azure giant dragon burst apart, Sword Qi scattering in all directions, piercing through the surrounding rocks.
Jue Mi was shrouded in a somewhat sparse gray mist, her dress torn, revealing pale skin, her body covered in dense bloodstains, her gaze toward Chen Mo filled with uncertainty and surprise.
This man was not only immune to the Demon Energy but could also inflict damage on her true form!
Lacking a Martial Spirit, he was undoubtedly a Sixth-rank Martial Artist, yet she had a faint feeling of danger...
Huff—
Chen Mo took a deep breath.
True Yuan rapidly circulated within him, his exhaled breath carrying waves of heat.
[Fierce Ghost Slayer.]
[Upon equipping the title, sense the presence of Demon Ghosts within a five-mile radius, unaffected by Demon Energy, with increased damage inflicted on Demon Ghosts.]
This Demon Creature was formidable, relying on the title’s enhancement, he could just manage to hold his ground.
But it wasn’t enough to slay her.
"This is a bit tricky..."
"Chu Zhuo?!"
Hearing Zhou Li’s loud call, Chen Mo sensed alarm and vanished from his spot in a flash.
Simultaneously, two streaks of Crimson Flames split the sky, cleaving deep trenches in the ground!
Seeing Chu Zhuo intervene, Zhou Li sighed in relief.
Although trapped by the Array, his foundation as a fifth-grade Martial Artist and possession of a Martial Spirit meant Lin Jingzhu couldn’t bother him for the moment.
With Jue Mi and Chu Zhuo working together, no matter Chen Mo’s capabilities, today he wouldn’t escape death!
The overall situation was set!
"Hundred Households Chu, quickly exterminate Chen Mo; afterward, the young master will surely reward you generously!"
"Don’t worry, I’ve been meaning to do this; today, I will certainly not let this brat leave alive!"
Chu Zhuo held twin sabers, his gaze chilling as he stared at Chen Mo.
Facing the sudden appearance of Chu Zhuo, Chen Mo was slightly surprised but remained unflustered.
"It seems you haven’t learned your lesson, really think you can kill me?"
"Hmph, last time you merely succeeded due to a sneak attack. Today, I will show you what ’surpassing levels is as hard as ascending to the heavens’ means!"
Chu Zhuo was domineering in speech, yet his eyes were extra cautious.
From his understanding of Chen Mo, this guy might still be hiding some tricks. It would be best to let the Demon Clan make the first move, himself supporting from the side, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
...
"Not bad, quite interesting."
"I’ve changed my mind, such a high-quality man, it’d truly be a pity to eat him."
"I want to make you my slave, to lock you in my bed and drain you day and night... Hiss, just thinking about it excites me~"
Jue Mi licked her lips, her eyes moist.
Her tattered dress barely concealed her charms, her skin pale as snow, its plump contours clearly visible.
She no longer suppressed her aura, a darkness deeper than the night spread around, the rich Demon Energy covering a hundred yards in all directions!
"Stop struggling, you two are not my match."
"Be good and submit to me; I might consider letting your little lover join us~"
Jue Mi’s voice was soft, filled with allure.
"Sorry, there’s too much of a stench on you; I don’t fancy it."
"Moreover—"
Chen Mo calmly spoke, "Who told you that we are alone?"
"Huh?"
Jue Mi was slightly taken aback.
Suddenly sensing something, she looked up, only to see under the cold moonlight, a streak of silver light whistling down like a shooting star!
Zing—
The Silver Spear, with a piercing sonic boom, accurately pierces through the chest, nailing her firmly to the ground!
Shen Shuqiu, with his hands behind his back, floated down, displaying a demeanor somewhat reminiscent of a celestial being.
"Still striking a pose?"
"If you were any later, my bones would have been picked clean!"
Chen Mo said irritably.
Having sensed Chu Zhuo’s surveillance, he had prepared a contingency.
He handed a paper effigy to Shen Shuqiu; as long as Shen Shuqiu used his Qi to activate the effigy on Chen Mo, Shen Shuqiu would be alerted.
"The paper effigy has a limited sensing range, I also had to grope my way here."
Shen Shuqiu explained briefly, then turned to look at Chu Zhuo, his gaze as icy as a cold wind.
"Hundred Household Officer, you should be well aware of the crime of colluding with the Demon Clan, aren’t you?"
"Tired of living?"
Chu Zhuo clenched his teeth tightly, knowing there was no turning back now. He had to fight to the end!
The opponents were merely two Sixth-ranks and one fifth-grade. The advantage was his!
Nobody could escape!
"Attack!"
Jue Mi saw that his opponent was formidable, his form dissolving into a mist of gray, freeing himself from the constraints of the Silver Spear.
In an instant, Demon Energy filled the sky!
Shen Shuqiu raised his hand, summoning the long spear back into his grasp. His whole body shimmered with silver light, like the dazzling stars in the night sky!
Boom!
The silver light and the Demon Energy violently collided!
The trees around them were uprooted and thrown aside, creating an area devoid of anything for hundreds of meters!
Elsewhere, Chu Zhuo’s figure flickered, instantly appearing in front of Chen Mo, his Crimson Flames Twin Sabers swirling like bloodthirsty snakes!
"You insignificant brat, die!"
Chen Mo moved with the speed of wind and thunder, dodging nimbly.
While evading, he opened his attribute panel and quickly adjusted his points, upgrading "Sleeve Green Dragon" by another level.
A profound understanding rushed into his mind, deepening his grasp of the Daoist Charm!
"Good timing, I’ll use you for a test!"
Having gained some insight at the Drunken Moon Restaurant last time, he had been exploring improvements over the past few days and found a completely new pathway for his techniques!
Chen Mo’s fingers gently moved, causing the Shattered Jade at his waist to chime.
Roar!
Shattered Jade unsheathed, like a dragon awakening!
With mysterious blue Blazing Flames on the blade, it traced an arcane path straight for Chu Zhuo’s throat!
Chu Zhuo, familiar with Chen Mo’s swordsmanship, dared not be careless and quickly raised his sabers to block.
Clang—
The twin sabers caught Shattered Jade, their sharp Qi Force painfully stabbing into his skin!
Before he could even catch a breath, Chen Mo withdrew his saber and then slashed again, moving too fast for the eye to see!
Clang—
Clang—
Clang—
Each strike was faster and fiercer than the last!
By the sixth slash, Chu Zhuo’s arms were numb, the Crimson Snake Twin Sabers riddled with web-like cracks!
"He actually managed to break my Martial Spirit?"
"How is that possible!?"
Not giving Chu Zhuo any time to think,
The seventh slash!
The jade-like saber tore through space, bringing with it overwhelming Saber Intent, striking the Crimson Snake Twin Blades.
The blades shattered explosively, blood spraying!
A massive gash diagonally opened across Chu Zhuo’s chest, revealing white bones and the beating heart within his ribcage!
He hadn’t even felt the pain when the eighth slash came down!
Unreasonable and incredibly fast!
"No way!"
"This is definitely not the strength of a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist!"
"Run, run fast!"
Chu Zhuo’s hairs stood on end, a premonition telling him—
If he took this strike, he would surely die!
Igniting the blood!
In a life-or-death moment, Chu Zhuo unleashed all his potential, compressing his True Yuan, and turned to flee!
If necessary, he would leave Tiandu City and become a Jianghu person!
It was better than dying on the spot!
Just then, several azure chains appeared out of nowhere, binding him in place!
"Who?!"
Chu Zhuo was both shocked and angry.
Although the chains restricted him only for a moment before they shattered, it was enough time for Chen Mo.
The blade’s edge sliced through the void, and the Azure Dragon Saber Intent emerged differently this time, the dragon’s vertical pupil burning with fierce black flames!
Swoosh—
The Saber Qi passed silently through the body.
Chu Zhuo stiffened on the spot like a statue, still in a running pose, his eyes filled with confusion and disbelief.
Chen Mo materialized in front of him, slowly sheathing the long saber.
Clang—
Bang!
Chu Zhuo’s body exploded instantly, his bloodied flesh burning with Blazing Flames scattered in all directions!
Amidst the raining blood, Chen Mo stood tall, his handsome, jade-like face untouched by the filth.
Chu Zhuo, dead!
[Host has gained insight into the Essence of Swordsmanship.]
["Blazing Eight Slashes" has evolved into "Dragon Shocking Slash", proficiency synched and inherited.]
System prompt flashed before his eyes.
Chen Mo paid little attention, turning his head towards the shadows of the dense forest.
Under the trees stood a woman in a purple silk dress.
"Why are you here?" Chen Mo frowned.
The night breeze stirred her hair, brushing across her stunningly beautiful face, those moist eyes seemingly filled with countless emotions, watching him from afar.
"I felt restless tonight, somehow feeling that something was going to happen, so I followed the scent of the paper figures here..."
"Chen Mo, I’m very worried about you."
