Chapter 121
Fen Xiu had seen how distraught Xiao Mo was after hearing what he said that night, and it was obvious that this man was sincere to Chu Jinglan, but why was he so calm today?
Chu Jinglan didn't know what kind of magic potion he had been fed, or perhaps, human nature was just like that, and this new lover might have some plans for the Immortal Lord.
Right, it makes more sense to think this way than to talk about any feelings.
But Chu Jinglan was willing to give him not only the jade flute but also such a special protective seal, which was enough to prove that this person still held great importance in his heart.
"My little beauty is so deeply in love with him, why not wait and see how much you really matter to Immortal Master Chu."
Fen Xiu's words were to remind Su Baimo to attack Xiao Mo first.
In fact, there is no need for him to remind us that we should only pick on the weak ones. The weak points of both sides, Xiao Mo and Fen Xiu, are both targets.
Xiao Mo swallowed a pill that could improve his cultivation in a short period of time and had no side effects. If he wanted to be of use in this battle, his cultivation in the middle stage of the distraction realm was a bit low.
He wanted to swallow more to reach the Mahayana stage directly, but taking too much medicine would harm his body. Considering Chu Jinglan's feelings, Xiao Mo temporarily raised his level to the peak of the Spirit Severing stage.
After all, the opponent Fen Xiu is now a person without any cultivation. Judging from the combat power, Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan are certainly stronger.
Su Baimo looked at Chu Jinglan's disguised face, his fingers tightly clasped on the blood shadow: "Chu, Jinglan."
"Did you destroy the Heavenly Dao?!"
Fen Xiu looked at Su Baimo unexpectedly: Heavenly Way?
Chu Jinglan had no intention of wasting time talking to him and said nothing. However, Su Baimo saw his silence as a sign of consent.
His anger seemed to have finally found an outlet.
"I could have lived a good life, blessed by God. If He were still here, how could I end up in this situation? It's all because of you!"
Xiao Mo jumped back a little and stood in a position that was very convenient for Le Xiu. Chu Jinglan didn't want to say much, but there were certain words that Xiao Mo couldn't stand to hear.
"Speaking of truth, Su Baimo, you have made your own choices to get to where you are today. Why did Lingxiao Sect expel you? Was it someone who forced you to deceive people with their feelings and treasures and to maneuver among people? And who forced you to become a demon cultivator and to harm innocent people?"
Su Baimo knew that the beginning of his great change was being expelled from the Lingxiao Sect. From then on, he could never turn back, so it was his biggest pain point. None of his subordinates who had followed him over the years dared to mention it. Xiao Mo's blunt revelation seemed to bring him back to the day of extreme humiliation.
Originally, he had been coaxing a few people around and was held in their hands. The disciples were polite to him when they saw him. Because he had been abducted by the demons, people around him felt sorry for him. Even his hot-tempered senior brothers would lower their voices a few degrees when talking to him, as if they were afraid of scaring him.
Until that day the truth came out.
In the panic, all his disguises were torn off and he was exposed in public. Everyone's eyes changed. The anger and surprise of being deceived gradually accumulated into disdain, contempt, disappointment and sighs as if seeing something dirty.
He wanted to run away, but there was nowhere to escape. Everyone was looking at him, mistreating him with their gazes. His excuses were pale and powerless, and no one believed them anymore. He was being roasted on the fire.
The feeling of using lies to deceive people in exchange for benefits was so comfortable that he forgot that on the other side of the thin paper of lies was a cliff and hell.
Once he fell and was shattered to pieces, his complacent dream was shattered amid the condemnation of the public.
"Shut up!"
Su Baimo was furious and controlled the tall blood shadow to slap Xiao Mo.
The Blood Shadow Mountain Puppet is an evil secret technique. In recent years, Su Baimo has used blood to practice his skills. Every time he kills a person, he will use some of his blood to refine the Blood Puppet. Now, the evil spirit of this huge creature alone is enough to turn people with low cultivation into ashes. It is his important killing weapon, and he regards the Blood Puppet as a magic weapon.
Xiao Mo knew that he was a target and was on guard at all times, so he kept his distance and gave Chu Jinglan room to perform.
Cold sword energy came from all directions, and the murderous aura of the Blood Shadow Mountain Puppet was frozen in an instant. If it was in the outside world, Su Baimo would only have one thought when he saw Chu Jinglan, and that was to run. But today Chu Jinglan had already said the word "kill" and was not going to let him go. It was not as easy to escape in the secret realm as in the outside world. It was already a life-and-death moment. Chu Jinglan's cultivation had also reached the peak of the Mahayana stage, and Su Baimo also boldly had the idea of killing.
This might be his only chance.
Su Baimo slapped the Heavenly Demon Blood he had just obtained directly into the Blood Puppet. The Blood Puppet's ghost face twisted into an expression of pain and rage. It opened its mouth and let out a long roar, carrying a vast murderous aura that wanted to crush the tiny figure!
At the same time, Su Baimo moved, jumped out from the blood puppet's shoulder with a blood-red knife, and stabbed Xiao Mo directly.
Frosty sword energy descended from the sky, and one sword firmly grasped the blood puppet's hand. Chu Jinglan broke through the evil spirit in the wind and snow, and the sword light slashed towards Fen Xiu without hesitation.
Fen Xiu actually still had the strength to say loudly: "Look, he is only concerned about killing me and doesn't care about you."
Xiao Mo was not distraught, but smiled: "I am very relieved."
If Chu Jinglan was still mentally unstable and had a knot in his heart, he would have kept him by his side all the time. Outsiders would not know that Chu Jinglan was not looking back at this moment, and what kind of frost, snow and thorns he had exchanged for his current sword heart.
It's not that I don't care about each other.
In the past, Xiao Mo, who had just begun to fall in love and did not know how to love someone properly, put his worries about his wife's safety first, and thus made an excessive decision.
But now, they understand how to continue their relationship and know what the other wants most.
So even at the critical moment of life and death, they will not be afraid.
Live and die together, trust each other, and you will have nothing to fear.
Chu Jinglan could choose not to look back, but Su Baimo didn't dare to.
He guessed that Xiao Mo might have a protective seal on him, so he might not be killed with one blow, but Fen Xiu only had a few magic weapons he had just given him, so he might not be able to stop Chu Jinglan for a moment.
Originally he wanted to attack Xiao Mo to distract Chu Jinglan, but he didn't expect Chu Jinglan to not be fooled at all. Su Baimo had to hastily launch half a move and then turned back to save Fen Xiu.
Su Baimo would not dare to gamble with his own life. He was still alive today because of his cautiousness.
As he spun around, a golden flaming phoenix with brilliant wings appeared from the side of Xiao Mo. Qiuqiu spread its wings and blocked half of Su Baimo's attack, without causing any damage to Xiao Mo.
Even if Su Baimo had not retreated just now, he could not have hurt Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo spun the flute in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.
——Chu Jinglan didn’t kill Fen Xiu with one strike.
The Blood Puppet returned to defend and took Su Baimo and Fen Xiu with them to retreat. Su Baimo was also extremely surprised to see Fen Xiu's aura suddenly surge to the level of Mahayana.
Only two people in the cultivation world have successfully rebuilt their Dantian after it was destroyed. Among them, a genius like Chu Jinglan spent a year, but in an instant he raised his cultivation to the early stage of Mahayana, which was already astonishing.
Although Chu Jinglan saw him for the first time, he could see the problem from his aura and his spiritual pulse: "Burning blood."
That’s right, Fen Xiu’s Dantian was not repaired. The reason why he temporarily recovered his cultivation was because he burned the demon blood in his body.
"It won't last more than a quarter of an hour." Chu Jinglan concluded.
"A quarter of an hour is enough. Your new lover will distract you. Even if you take the medicine to reach Mahayana, you may not be able to last longer than me." Fen Xiu licked the blood on his teeth. "If we kill you within a quarter of an hour, we will win."
Fen Xiu was of course unwilling to use the Blood Burning Technique, but as the saying goes, there is hope for the future. Su Baimo actually had time to protect him just now, but Fen Xiu could see that Su Baimo could not kill Chu Jinglan.
Today, Chu Jinglan and I have reached a point where it’s a matter of life and death. If we continue to hide, we will have no chance of survival. They have to attack together.
Chu Jinglan didn't look back just now, as if Xiao Mo could not cause any influence on him at all. Fen Xiu and Su Baimo would also direct most of their attacks at Chu Jinglan again.
They don't know that Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan are actually in a life and death relationship. If they knew, they would probably think that they are both crazy. No matter how much protection Chu Jinglan gives Xiao Mo, no one else would dare to be so bold.
After all, it is a matter of life and death. Look at the counterexample of Su Baimo.
If Su Baimo was standing in Xiao Mo's position, even if he had a lot of protection around him, he would probably not be able to stop screaming for help, distracting his companions.
After achieving Mahayana cultivation, Xiao Mo took out more pills and swallowed them without blinking an eye, continuing to push his cultivation up. Enduring the pain in his meridians and dantian, he also reached the early stage of Mahayana cultivation. He raised his head and said, "But we have also confirmed that you must have done something to Su Baimo. As long as you die, Su Baimo will be finished too."
Fen Xiu: "Can't it be that he likes me more than Chu Jinglan cares about you?"
"Impossible." Xiao Mo, "Do you believe it yourself?"
His impossible is a double entendre:
Su Baimo and Fen Xiu both put their own lives first. They themselves would never believe that they did not abandon each other at the critical moment because they had feelings for each other. And Xiao Mo's other meaning was that even if Su Baimo really liked Fen Xiu, it would not be as much as Chu Jinglan liked him.
He and Chu Jinglan dare to entrust everything, including their lives, to each other. Does Su Baimo dare?
Comparing Su Baimo with Chu Jinglan is not bad.
Xiao Mo waved his hand and raised the Fantasy Moon Heart, unfolding the largest and most intimidating illusion space to date. The sun and the moon were on both sides of the sky, and below were mountains with steep ravines and cliffs. Xiao Mo's figure disappeared in the illusion.
Now both sides are two Mahayana against two Mahayana, and it seems to depend on who can hold on longer between him and Fen Xiu.
The blood puppet roared and raised his hands to tear open the sky, but the illusion did not collapse. Behind the sky of the sun and the moon were endless stars and the sound of a long flute was also heard.
Su Baimo's eyes flickered, and he was shocked. He immediately stuffed a Qingxin Pill into his mouth.
"His spiritual awareness is so strong!"
For ordinary music practitioners, the effect of music on their consciousness is limited, and most of them only use sound and spiritual power to attack the body. However, music practitioners with strong consciousness and magic are completely the nemesis of demon practitioners. Even if the difference in cultivation level is huge, they can still affect their already broken sanity.
A strange feeling crossed Fen Xiu's mind.
Chu Jinglan's original partner Mo Lan also likes to use this trick. When he was in the Nine Secret Pagoda, it was he who used the illusion to save Chu Jinglan.
The illusion was probably also driven by magic tools. He gave Yuan Daoqu's flute and magic tools to him, and taught him how to use them so skillfully. Was Chu Jinglan really just a substitute toy?
But he just flashed this thought and didn't think much about it. Time waits for no one, and since he couldn't provoke the two of them to kill each other, there was no need to waste time.
Fen Xiu jumped out: "Kill Chu Jinglan first!"
Su Baimo used the remaining demon blood to draw a seal on himself, preparing to naturally absorb the demon blood while fighting to maintain his sanity.
Their focus would no longer be on Xiao Mo. With Fen Xiu and Su Baimo's personalities, they would never guess that Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan had formed a Red Luan Seal.
Because in their opinion, it is impossible for the Immortal Lord to do such a stupid thing as giving up his life, even to his Taoist partner.
This is judging others by one's own standards and assuming that all people in the world are the same.
They both had a clear goal: as long as Chu Jinglan died, there was nothing to worry about the rest.
