Chapter Sixty: Temptation Drives People Mad...or Death?
"Surround that orc for me, don't let him die, I'm going to skin him alive today..." Qin Mo roared at his subordinates as he leaped out of the camp, caught Kaihime in his arms, and his fierce expression made Wu Shengze, Liu Renguang and others feel a chill down their spines.
Wu Shengze quickly commanded a team of elite armored soldiers to surround Xinsa. This plan to lure the enemy was devised by Qin Mo and him, with the aim of annihilating the entire Cossack cavalry and boosting the morale of his new recruits. However, if Qin Mo's personal maid were to be involved, he would probably go berserk and do something outrageous.
Xinsa had already calmed down when Kaihime jumped out of the circle and fled at full speed. He was originally chasing Kaihime towards the Da Yuan army camp, but when he was a hundred feet away from the camp, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura. His senses were very sharp, which was the reason why he dared to call himself the most talented warrior of the Twilight Hammer Clan.
Xin Sa stopped, looking at the camp with suspicion. The sense of danger had vanished. But he was already some distance from Kaihime and couldn't catch up. So he pulled an axe from his waist and threw it at Kaihime. Then... Kaihime leaped up, turned around, blocked, and coughed up blood.
After a series of shouts and gibberish, hundreds of armored soldiers rushed out of the camp with a "whoosh," surrounding Xinsa before he could react. They didn't make a move, but stared at him fiercely, as if they wanted to tear a piece of flesh from him.
At this moment, Xinsa remembered his teacher's words before he left: "Xinsa, you are very talented. Remember this when you go to Maimai City: the people of Daxia are fierce and cunning, and there are many strong warriors among them. When you fight them, do not attack blindly. Wait until all their strength is revealed before deciding whether to fight or flee..."
After circling around for a while, Xinza and Kaihime decided to fight, but now he's decided to flee before even exchanging blows. He swung his heavy battle axe, his tall frame charging straight towards the Kazakh cavalry.
The armored warriors opposite him all wielded uniform two-handed longswords, repeatedly striking the battle axes and blocking Xinsa's attacks. The orc finally felt panic; judging from their strength, he realized that many of these warriors possessed the same power as the person in the exquisite armor he had just encountered.
Xinsa had initially underestimated these armored soldiers; an orc general facing an attack from ordinary warriors would almost never be surrounded if he wanted to escape. But now, despite his repeated charges, he was inexplicably blocked each time.
This group of armored warriors, though consisting of only a few cultivators at the Human Realm and the rest ordinary soldiers, moved with remarkable coordination. Several of the lower-level cultivators were particularly ferocious, their longswords always slashing from Xinsa's blind spots, sometimes even charging directly at him. Occasionally, someone would be knocked away by Xinsa, but another would immediately fill in. Xinsa was like someone stuck in mud, possessing immense strength but unable to break free.
Dak watched as Xinsa was surrounded, his heart filled with turmoil. If Xinsa died, their tribe would surely incur the wrath of the warlord. But if he sent his cavalry to charge now, would they fall into a trap set by the Great Xia? The Rakshasa Kingdom had fought the Great Xia for nearly a thousand years, suffering greatly from the Great Xia's cunning schemes.
Xin Sa was struggling with frustration, Dak was caught in a state of depressed turmoil, and Qin Mo... was consumed by heart-wrenching self-reproach. Why had she chosen her to lure the enemy? Why hadn't she used the many other cultivators at the Human Realm level she had?
"Allen, why didn't you make a move just now?" Qin Mo had never spoken to Allen in such a serious tone before.
"She won't die. You just want her to make a name for herself and then enter the inner hall to learn combat skills, right?" Allen said calmly.
"She... is very ill." Qin Mo was speechless. She shouldn't have taken her anger out on Rao; it was all her fault.
"Since he has cultivated the 'Breaking the Principles,' he should hone his skills in the face of life and death. Today is an excellent opportunity for him."
Allen maintained his usual tone. In his view, if someone is there to protect you and keep you alive, what's a little injury? Do you think everyone is like Qin Mo? If I, a cultivator at the Earth Realm, am to train you, I won't go easy on you. Your body won't receive enough stimulation to unleash your potential. If I go too hard, your cries will be deafening and ear-piercing; that's torture for me!
"Uncle Wu, you'll temporarily take over as commander. If you can handle those Cossacks, fine; if not, leave this orc behind." Qin Mo finished speaking to Wu Shengze, then instructed his guards to find him a tent nearby, and carried Kaihime inside.
Because of her experience fighting the Black Flame, Qin Mo's mastery of vital energy was unparalleled. Naturally, she knew how to quickly heal others.
He carefully examined Kaihime's injuries and found them to be better than he had imagined. The force of the axe thrown by Shinsa was blocked once by Kaihime's sword, and her armor was weakened once more. Although it ultimately shattered Kaihime's protective aura and seriously injured her, her internal organs only bled and did not rupture.
Because Kaihime's vital energy was exhausted, she was unable to heal herself automatically. Otherwise, if she had taken this opportunity to let the vital energy in her body heal itself, she would have been able to use the vital energy more thoroughly and eventually have complete control over it.
Qin Mo separated a cluster of primordial energy from his dantian and used a secret method to remove his own imprint from it. This transformed it into primordial energy without any elemental affinities that could heal others. Before he turned eighteen, he had received countless amounts of such pure primordial energy from his father.
Qin Mo removed Kaihime's armor and thermal bodysuit, revealing her flat, snow-white abdomen. Qin Mo placed her hand on Kaihime's dantian (lower abdomen). The slightly visible abdominal muscles twitched gently, and Qin Mo could even feel a few fine hairs. Under normal circumstances, something might have happened next, but now, Qin Mo tried to calm her mind, channeling her vital energy into Kaihime's body, carefully sensing her injuries.
