Dou Qi Transforms into a Horse, Escape

The dust settled.

Mo Tang, already back on his feet, stared fixedly at the center of the dust cloud.

But when the dust finally cleared and no one emerged from within, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During the earlier battle, although he had unleashed his strongest attack while his opponent had underestimated him, he himself had also been sent flying by the other man's attack.

So he had not been sure whether a Dou Shi would actually be caught by it.

When everything had dissipated, all that remained on the ground was a corpse chopped into several pieces.

Hmm, not bad.

He had just said he would chop Mo Tang into ten or eight pieces, and now his dream had come true...

It was just that the one who had been chopped up was himself.

Staring at the mangled remains on the ground, the few people from both sides who had not yet managed to die together swallowed hard.

Especially the Mo Clan Guards. Looking at the slain Black-robed Dou Shi, they did not know whether they should rejoice at having hope of survival, or grieve for their companions who had just perished alongside the enemy...

However, they immediately cast such thoughts aside.

Because just as Mo Tang had unbelievably slain a Dou Shi, Mo Ran had also been sent flying by a punch from the enemy's Da Dou Shi. He spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the front of his clothes red.

"Fuck! There's no time, run!"

Startled, Mo Tang hurried toward the nearest horse, ready to use Dou Qi Transforms into a Horse and get the hell out of there.

But his movement caught the attention of the blood-spitting Mo Ran...

Seeing that this Dou Zhe under his command had actually killed a Dou Shi across ranks, Mo Ran was shocked as well.

But in the next instant, Mo Ran seemed to think of something.

While Mo Tang was still utterly confused, Mo Ran directly threw something at him...

At the same time, he shouted, "Mo Tang! Take the item and run! I'll hold the enemy back... You must deliver it to the Great Elder!"

Instinctively catching it, Mo Tang discovered that it was a rather extraordinary-looking Purple Sandalwood Box. Combined with Mo Ran's words, he instantly sensed that something was wrong.

"Fuck you, you bastard! You're setting me up!"

This was practically a death warrant!

Without a second thought, Mo Tang prepared to throw it back...

But at the instant he moved, something occurred to him. His movement paused for two seconds before he threw the wooden box back.

"Commander, you're far stronger. It's safer for you to carry it. Don't worry, I'll lure these bandits away!"

Though he put on an expression of someone ready to die, Mo Tang did not slow down in the slightest.

With a leap, he jumped onto an Azure Cloud Horse. Before anyone could recover from the pair's actions, he had already dashed out of the battlefield in a blur...

Seeing this, the other Dou Shi, who had just been massacring people, immediately roared, "Chase him! Don't let him get away!"

The enemy had actually used underhanded means to kill one of their Dou Shi, which infuriated him.

But before he could move, the grim-faced gray-robed Da Dou Shi spoke.

"Stop! The item is on Mo Ran. Deal with him first! As for the rest, kill every last member of the Trade Caravan!"

At the command, the Dou Shi who had wanted to give chase could only turn back and join the gray-robed Da Dou Shi in surrounding Mo Ran.

That guy's turtle shell was simply too tough. If they let him find another chance to escape, this operation would be a complete failure!

"Mo Tang! You bastard, you've doomed me!"

Watching a Da Dou Shi and two Dou Shi close in around him, Mo Ran let out a despairing roar.

Mo Tang, who was fleeing for his life, shuddered. He then opened his system panel on horseback and switched to the map interface...

When he saw that no little red dots representing enemies were pursuing him, he finally let out a long breath.

But after escaping danger, Mo Tang's brows furrowed once more.

"I screwed Mo Ran over this time. He must want me dead... There's a good chance those mysterious people will kill him, but I can't gamble on that...*

If the Mo Clan learned about what had happened today, the enraged Great Elder would definitely have Mo Tang killed!

There was one more thing...

When he had thrown the wooden box back earlier, Mo Tang had used the system's function to transfer the item inside into his Backpack...

After all, the box was only an ordinary box. It was neither sealed with Dou Qi nor like a Storage Ring that recognized an owner through soul power, so it had not been difficult.

If they discovered that the box was empty, they would very likely come after him again. Mo Tang felt that he needed a new way to escape.

After fleeing roughly four or five hundred meters, Mo Tang fiercely slapped the horse's rump twice. Then, stepping on the stirrup, he borrowed the momentum to leap onto a tree two meters away.

Watching the Azure Cloud Horse disappear at the end of the road, Mo Tang changed directions several times before returning to the battlefield.

Hidden within the crown of a large tree over a hundred meters away, Mo Tang used the Minimap's ability to distinguish friend from foe within a hundred meters as he secretly observed the situation on the battlefield.

By then, the Mo Clan Trade Caravan had been completely wiped out. Corpses littered the ground, dyeing the entire road blood-red.

The gray-robed Da Dou Shi was currently gripping a man like a dead dog and dragging him before himself. Furious, he roared, "Speak! Where exactly is the item?!"

Mo Ran, whose bones had all been broken and who had only half a life left, looked at the enraged Gray-robed Man and pulled his lips into a silent laugh.

"Cough, cough..."

A mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth, making him look especially vicious.

"Heh... hehe... You... you went to all this trouble, wasn't it for that Qi Gathering Pill? Cough, cough... Cough... Too bad, the item was taken away long ago..."

The Gray-robed Man demanded, "Who! Who took it away? Where is he?! Speak! Otherwise, I'll crush every bone in your body!"

"Cough, cough... Want to know?" Mo Ran coughed up another mouthful of blood, then madness flickered in his eyes as he said, "It was that kid who just ran away... If you want the Qi Gathering Pill, hurry and chase him..."

After vaguely hearing these words from the tree, Mo Tang immediately wanted to viciously curse that bastard Mo Ran to death.

"Fuck, he's setting me up again!"

Although the man's random accusation had happened to hit the truth, such vicious behavior still made Mo Tang despise him!

"Is what you said true?"

The Gray-robed Man was clearly not an idiot and found Mo Ran's words highly untrustworthy.

After all, without knowing that Mo Tang had a cheat system, the possibility was simply too small.

He did not believe that Mo Ran, Mo Cheng's trusted confidant, would place something so important on a young man who was merely a Five-Star Dou Practitioner.
