A crimson sun hung in the sky, casting a cruel red glow over the land.
It's hard to tell whether the sunlight or blood stained the ground red...
Mo Xie leaned against the tree, calmly watching the falling killing blade.
Clang!
A golden feather shot out, knocking Blood Blade's scimitar away.
A clear, cold, and arrogant voice resounded throughout the entire arena, "Isn't this the number one genius of the demonic path, Mo Xie Shenzi? Why are you acting like this? Why don't you show the same aura you would use against me?"
Blood Blade's expression changed drastically. He suddenly took a few steps back and stood shoulder to shoulder with the others.
Then he said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
A yellow figure flashed by and landed in front of Mo Xie.
She was a veiled woman wearing a black robe with phoenix patterns.
"Feng Qingcheng?"
Mo Xie was somewhat surprised.
Feng Qingcheng didn't even glance at the blood-stained blade. She turned slightly to the side and nodded, saying, "To be so calm in the face of death... that's quite impressive."
Mo Xie wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grinned, and said, "What is the point of living, and what is the point of dying?"
Feng Qingcheng shook her head and remained silent.
"Die!"
Blood Blade naturally understood that the visitor was an enemy, not a friend.
Without saying a word, he led a few of his men and charged towards Feng Qingcheng.
Take her by surprise and kill her!
Feng Qingcheng waved her robe slightly, and a black phoenix about ten feet in size flew out with a roar.
"ah!"
Several people were sent flying backwards.
Even Blood Blade was forced to retreat repeatedly, only managing to stop his momentum by planting his blade in the ground.
"A fifth-grade King Realm expert?! And not just any ordinary fifth-grade."
"It's a bit tricky... I'm not sure I can handle it."
Blood Blade's face was grim and uncertain as he said fiercely, "No matter who you are, you'll regret it if you dare to ruin my master's plans!"
"Let's split up!" He turned and decisively fled.
For those in their line of work, staying alive is more important than completing the mission.
Even the slightest risk to one's life is best avoided.
Failure in a mission only results in criticism, but losing your life... that's the end of it all.
His men also got up and fled in all directions.
Mo Xie watched the fleeing Blood Blade, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Feng, could you help me kill him?"
Feng Qingcheng said indifferently, "We are not friends, why should I help you? Besides, I said that I would definitely avenge the humiliation I suffered the night before!"
Mo Xie said, "I owe you a favor... Afterwards, you can do whatever you want with me."
"Why would I need your people..." Feng Qingcheng sneered.
Mo Xie stared intently at her, her voice weak yet firm, "Consider it my treat...please!"
Feng Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat, and her fists clenched slightly: Damn it, it must be Feng Ling's influence...
She let out a soft sigh and turned her head slightly. "How truly pitiful..."
Her figure transformed into a phoenix silhouette and vanished.
"Remember this, you owe me a favor!"
Looking at Feng Qingcheng's swift movements, Mo Xie was slightly surprised, "She actually agreed?"
"I do owe you a favor... but I won't kill you or do whatever you want with me."
He shook his head and struggled to take out the healing pill and the resurrection pill and swallow them.
He struggled to his feet and walked towards Elder Ming.
Old Man Ming lay on the ground, his body twisted, staring unfocusedly at the sky, barely clinging to life.
Blood, stained with bits of dirt, kept flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Mo Xie clenched his fists and slowly squatted down. "Elder Ming, you..."
Looking at the old servant who had followed him since he was a child, now he saw him in this state.
He felt somewhat upset.
In his memory.
The Old Man of the Underworld followed him when he was very young.
At that time, in addition to protecting Mo Xie's safety, they also had to take care of his daily life;
It wasn't until Mo Xie grew up that he quietly protected her from the shadows, like a shadow.
More than ten years have passed since then...
It can be said that the Old Man of the Underworld spent far more time with him than his parents did.
Hearing Mo Xie's voice,
As if finding light in the darkness, Elder Ming's eyes lit up slightly. He turned his head with difficulty to look at Mo Xie and asked urgently, "Young Master, how are you? Are you out of danger?"
Mo Xie's fingers clenched so tightly they turned white, and he smiled, "Thanks to the help of an old friend, I'm out of danger."
"That's good, that's good..."
The old man's life force was slowly fading, but a genuine smile appeared on his face.
Mo Xie could no longer contain himself and said in a deep voice, "Elder Ming, I'll take you to heal your wounds. I know someone..."
At the same time, he asked Mo Jiu in his mind.
“I know my own body, I’m beyond saving…” “His heart is broken, his soul is scattered, he’s only clinging to life by a thread… there’s no way to save him.”
The voices of Elder Ming and Mo Jiu rang in Mo Xie's ears at the same time.
This immediately threw Mo Xie's mind into complete disarray.
Seeing Mo Xie's sorrowful state, Elder Ming laughed and said, "Young Master is the rising sun of tomorrow, there is no need for this old servant to grieve over yesterday's twilight."
Mo Xie moved her lips.
Old Master Ming waved his hand, "Now please hear this old servant's last words..."
Mo Xie nodded. "Please speak, Elder Ming."
"Young Master, you are very strong now, much stronger than this old servant..."
With a smile, the old man placed his trembling hand on Mo Xie's hand.
Previously, there was a distinction between superiors and inferiors; this was the first time he had done this out of an elder's love for a younger generation... but it was also the last time.
"Others may not believe in you, young master, but this old servant firmly believes that when the time is right, you will soar through the heavens and earth like a dragon."
