At that moment, Huo Jie reacted quickly and grabbed Huo Churan's arm, trying to pull her back.

Huo Churan was taken aback.

She knew that once she was pulled back, she would be tied up and taken back to the dungeon.

Then, Lin Mo will once again be caught in a dilemma.

How could a weak woman like her possibly match the strength of Huo Jie in front of her?

In desperation, she opened her mouth and bit Huo Jie's hand hard.

"Ouch!" Huo Jie cried out in pain and instinctively let go of her hand.

"You bitch, you're asking for it!" Enraged, Huo Jie immediately raised his longsword and swung it in a flourish.

With a "whoosh".

The longsword slashed open Huo Churan's cheek, and blood flowed freely.

Huo Jie stopped his sword strike, so it wasn't fatal; it only scratched Huo Churan's face.

But this unexpected turn of events stunned everyone.

Despite her injuries and bleeding face, Huo Churan rushed to the city wall and then leaped to her death.

With a "thud," Huo Churan fell heavily onto the muddy ground at the edge of the city wall.

Everything happened so fast and so suddenly that no one on the city wall had time to react.

Huo Minggao was focused on how to stall Lin Mo while waiting for reinforcements.

Of course, it would be ideal if Lin Mo wisely withdrew his troops!

Naturally, he wouldn't let his attention be diverted to Huo Churan, the money-loser he considered a burden.

Another point is that he didn't expect Huo Churan to have such a rebellious spirit, and he didn't expect her to be able to get rid of the guards!

Lin Mo was preoccupied with figuring out how to save the person and didn't notice Huo Churan.

Even if he notices it, there's nothing he can do!

He can't fly, let alone teleport. If he could, would he be in such a headache?

So, everyone watched helplessly as Huo Churan leaped over the city wall and plummeted downwards.

"No!" Lin Mo was the first to shout. "What are you doing?"

"You...you damn...bitch!" Huo Minggao shouted as well.

In his haste, Lin Mo forgot the danger and gripped the "Dragon Slayer" tightly, ready to rush forward.

Just then, a hand darted out and gripped his arm tightly like a wolf trap, the force so great that Zhanlong flew out of his hand.

Lin Mo was dragged back, his face pressed against Xiang Yu's. "No!" Xiang Yu roared at him. "My lord, don't do anything foolish!"

"I...I...I!" Lin Mo was so angry that she couldn't speak, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Is she dead?"

"No, maybe not!"

"It's been raining for the past few days, the ground is all muddy, the soil is soft, so it might not be dead!"

"But...the city walls are so high!"

"You beast, Huo Minggao, you're a fucking beast!" Lin Mo shouted.

"Yes, he's a beast!" Xiang Yu said. "We all saw it, we all know it. But my lord, that's exactly it. You need to calm down, let's discuss this, and then we'll take this city!"

"I will capture the capital and tear Huo Minggao to pieces!" Lin Mo secretly vowed.

However, at this moment, the familiar scene changed again.

The world turned black and white.

After a while, the voice claiming to be the system began to speak, soft yet terrifying.

"What are you doing out here at a time like this? I don't want to talk to you right now!" Lin Mo said sharply before he could speak.

"No, I didn't do it!" the voice retorted. "It's your own problem. If you don't believe me, check your system panel!"

Lin Mo glanced at it subconsciously.

[System notification: Host, your corruption value has reached A+, and you are about to break through to S!]

[Notification: Your corruption level has increased by 1 point.]

[Notification: Your corruption level has increased...]

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

Lin Mo was shocked. "The system is fixing a bug? The corruption value has surged back up?"

"No, no," the voice said. "Think about it carefully yourself, Shu region... Dos grassland!"

"Bai Qi or Ran Min are fighting with the enemy!" Lin Mo suddenly realized!

Take a closer look at the corruption growth list.

Good heavens!

There was a record of increasing by over a thousand points on one occasion.

There was another instance where the points increased by tens of thousands!

Bai Qi, it must be him! I don't know what kind of crazy move this guy made this time, wiping out hundreds of thousands of people in one go!

but...

Something doesn't seem quite right!

It takes millions of points to go from a corruption value of B to A+.

Could it be that Bai Qi and Ran Min destroyed Qiu Zi and the entire Abbasid army in such a short time?

Although Bai Qi is very powerful, incredibly powerful.

This is just too surreal!

At that moment, the voice said, "Corruption does not come entirely from killing!"

"Hatred, anger, sadness, annoyance, heartbreak, grief, anxiety, inferiority, depression, pessimism, and despair can also arise."

“Hatred, anger, sadness, frustration…” Lin Mo repeated.

Suddenly, the image of Huo Churan falling from the city wall flashed into his mind.

A strong sense of hatred welled up within him.

"Need help to remove the corruption?" the voice continued. "Helping you once is helping, helping you multiple times is still helping!"

"However, I must warn you. This kind of operation is exploiting a system bug, and if it happens too often, it will attract the system's attention. Then, you'll be in big trouble!"

“No, I don’t need to purge the corruption!” Lin Mo said grimly. “On the contrary, I want you to help me restore my previous 'Tyrant Mode,' and all the byproducts of 'Tyrant Mode'…”

I'm not going to tolerate this anymore, so what if I kill?

I'm going to kill Huo Minggao right now, in the most cruel way!
