Ninja Tool Exchange Function

"Mu Tong, Mu Lu was killed by me. A person bears responsibility for what they do. If you have the ability, come at me, and let my guards go!" Nalan Chaoge got up and looked at Mu Tong.

"Young master, no! If something happens to the young master, that would be our dereliction of duty!"

"That's right, young master! The Lion Army of the Nalan Family has no retreating soldiers!"

"Listen to me, you guys, I appreciate your loyalty, but the Mu Family doesn't seem like they are going to let me go anyway. Rather than having him kill you and then come to kill me, it's better to just sacrifice me alone! A man of the Nalan Family must die with dignity even in death!" As Nalan Chaoge spoke righteously, he blinked at several of the guards.

This was Nalan Chaoge's miscalculation; he never expected that Mu Tong would bring along a Dou Ling.

If it were a Da Dou Shi, his guards could still handle it. A Dou Ling-even if all four of them rushed up together, it would only buy some time, and furthermore, one slight mishap would mean total destruction.

As expected, he was still a bit green.

If your heart isn't ruthless, you cannot stand firm.

His very first lesson since stepping out into the world made Nalan Chaoge receive a bloody wake-up call.

Since Mu Tong brought a Dou Ling with him, he had never intended to let any of them return alive.

"Mu Tong, do you dare to fight me? Life and death are up to fate!" After saying that, Nalan Chaoge didn't give those guards a chance to speak, and immediately provoked Mu Tong.

"I share the exact same thought! Just one hand is enough to pinch you to death!" Mu Tong gave a cold laugh. This was the edge of the Magical Beast Forest, after all. Never mind killing Nalan Chaoge, even hacking him into a thousand pieces wouldn't be known to anyone.

Nalan Chaoge and A'da exchanged a glance, and all of them understood each other's intent.

"Take care, young master! If we don't die today, we brothers vow to follow the young master to the death!"

A'da nodded heavily at Nalan Chaoge.

They had to leave, and they had to take that Dou Ling away with them.

Although Nalan Chaoge's hope of surviving against Mu Tong wasn't great, there would at least be hope.

If the opponent's Dou Ling was present, even if Nalan Chaoge managed to kill Mu Tong, he would definitely not survive.

"Run!"

Nalan Chaoge suddenly let out a loud shout, and five figures scattered in five directions, disappearing with a whoosh.

Mu Tong and that formidable Dou Ling exchanged a glance, as if they had anticipated this strategy long ago.

"Brother Lu, those few guards are trouble for you. Don't let a single one escape, heh, and as for that Nalan Chaoge, let me taste what a genius tastes like!" After saying that, a layer of faint Dou Qi rapidly wrapped around Mu Tong's fists.

Dou Qi Gauze Robe, gathering Qi to form a liquid state.

This was the typical characteristic of a Dou Shi, and it was also the greatest gap compared to a Dou Zhe.

Without breaking through to a Dou Shi, a Dou Zhe's full-strength strike might not even be able to pierce the defense of a Dou Shi's Dou Qi Gauze Robe.

Plunging straight into the Magical Beast Forest, Nalan Chaoge pushed his speed to the absolute limit without the slightest hesitation, fully opening the Eight Inner Gates.

In an instant, his speed surged once more. His entire body practically tipped off a massive tree, and then he swiftly drifted dozens of meters away.

"Little trash of the Nalan Family, didn't you say you wanted to duel with me? Why are you running?"

Within a few minutes, Mu Tong's somewhat mocking voice came from right behind Nalan Chaoge.

Damn it!

Nalan Chaoge cursed inwardly.

A guy in his thirties with the strength of a Two-star Dou Shi had the nerve to talk about a duel.

Duel your sister!

"I said, I will let you slowly savor the taste of death!" Mu Tong didn't seem in a rush to make a move against Nalan Chaoge, just hanging back leisurely like this.

He couldn't go any further forward. If he penetrated deeper into the Magical Beast Forest, never mind Mu Tong, even those Magical Beasts were things Nalan Chaoge couldn't evade.

Once the time for the Eight Inner Gates ran out, he wouldn't even need Mu Tong to make a move; he would have to surrender his life right here.

Then let's fight to the death!

Nalan Chaoge suddenly halted his body and stopped running.

"Yo, not running anymore? Ready to meet your death?" Mu Tong came flying over. Without saying another word, his entire body descended from the sky like a giant roc.

"Greenwood Thorn!"

With a low roar, one of Mu Tong's arms became covered in blue-green wood thorns, carrying a sharp surge of force as he fiercely smashed down toward Nalan Chaoge on the ground.

"Hah!"

Nalan Chaoge let out a cold laugh and flipped his wrist, causing that crimson whip to appear in his hand.

Crack!

Before Mu Tong could land, Nalan Chaoge had already lashed out with a whip.

"Go to hell!"

Boom!

The whip struck Mu Tong's body without meeting any resistance, and Mu Tong crashed heavily to the ground. At the same time, his tightly clenched fist slammed fiercely into Nalan Chaoge's body.

With a pa, Nalan Chaoge's figure shattered into nothingness.

Mu Tong was stunned!

Dead?

No, this was a clone!

Just as Mu Tong was momentarily dazed, Nalan Chaoge swept across horizontally from his side, laden with the power of the Eight Inner Gates.

"Does the light of a firefly dare to contend with the sun and moon for brilliance?" Mu Tong sneered and extended his right arm to block.

Bang!

Nalan Chaoge kicked Mu Tong's arm, and his entire body was instantly bounced back out again.

Yet Mu Tong didn't have it easy either. He cast a somewhat astonished glance at the disheveled Nalan Chaoge; his arm felt sore and numb, leaving him temporarily unable to move at all.

This brat had some tricks up his sleeve-no wonder he managed to kill Mu Lu.

Mu Tong looked at Nalan Chaoge with a ferocious expression. The piercing pain transmitted from his arm caused the corners of his twitching mouth to spasm continuously. The Dou Qi within his body circulated rapidly, then wrapped around his arm, rendering it a faint green.

The Mu Family's Dou Qi belonged to Wood Attribute Dou Qi, which possessed a certain healing effect. Therefore, as the Dou Qi coiled around it, the numbness in Mu Tong's arm gradually regained sensation.

Gosh, it came with its own healing function?

Nalan Chaoge felt his blood churning and couldn't help casting a startled glance at the recovered Mu Tong. How was this even supposed to be played?

"Kid, not bad at all, but your days won't be this comfortable from here on out!" Mu Tong sneered. "Want to know how I'm going to make you die? Don't worry, you won't die that fast. I am going to slice the flesh off your body piece by piece!"

Nalan Chaoge also put away his contempt. It seemed that even with the strength of a Ten-star Dou Zhe, he was no match for Mu Tong.

Since that was the case, he would just continue to upgrade, surpass the other's strength, and trample him!

Nalan Chaoge let out a cold snort and swiftly pulled out a Tier 2 Demonic Core.

"System, raise my level!" Nalan Chaoge said full of confidence.

"Ding! Does the host wish to recycle a Tier 2 Demonic Core?"

"Yes!"

"Ding! Tier 2 Demonic Core successfully recycled! Unlocked the Ninja Tool Exchange Function!"

After a long while.

"It's gone?" Nalan Chaoge was instantly dumbfounded!

Didn't recycling a demonic core mean the system was supposed to upgrade? Why was there no movement at all?

"Ding! It's gone!"

"No, why didn't the system upgrade? Could this demonic core be fake?"

"Ding! Replying to the host, [D]-rank system upgrades require two Tier 2 Demonic Cores!"

"Two? W*f, why didn't you say so earlier!" Nalan Chaoge felt darkness descend before his eyes. He was done for, killed by this dog of a system.

"Ding! The system gave the host a prompt!"

That's right, that's right. Nalan Chaoge also remembered; he indeed had a prompt the last time he upgraded the system, and he had even calculated it. But none of that was important right now-the crucial question was what to do now!

"Are you ready? Taste another of my Greenwood Thorns!"

Mu Tong's figure charged over once again.
