Fox Murong: Shihan, I don't owe you anymore!

Out of the corner of his eye, Wei Xuanfeng saw the patterns on the Blackwater Mosquito's body blooming with streaks of red light!

"Fuck!!"

Almost instinctively, Wei Xuanfeng slapped at the Blackwater Mosquito.

Smack!

His palm came down, but hit nothing.

The Blackwater Mosquito wobbled through the air, its wings buzzing.

Yet Wen Shihan saw clearly that Wei Xuanfeng's slap had left a bloody palm print on his own neck.

That showed just how much force had gone into it...

"Damn it!"

What Wei Xuanfeng hated most in his life was mosquitoes!

All things under heaven possessed a spirit—except mosquitoes!

He immediately swung his hand at the Blackwater Mosquito, trying to slap the beast to death.

But the moment he turned, the world abruptly spun around him.

"Kid, how does that Blackwater Mosquito venom taste?"

Elder Mo stood to one side, wearing an expression of absolute confidence.

"Fox Murong, shoot him!"

Realizing something was wrong, Wei Xuanfeng immediately roared.

If Fox Murong could kill Elder Mo now, the scales of victory would still tip toward their side.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Fox Murong fired another three rapid arrows in succession.

The three arrows shot viciously toward Elder Mo.

She had not dared act earlier because Wei Xuanfeng and that old bastard had been tangled too tightly together. She had been afraid of nailing the wrong person with an arrow.

At the same time, Wen Shihan's meteor hammer smashed toward Elder Mo.

Under the double pincer attack, with Elder Mo's current condition, death was certain.

Duan Hai, who had been locked in combat with Jiao Yu nearby, had kept an eye on this side of the battlefield. Seeing this, he immediately broke away from the fight.

Using his lightness skill, he raced through the air toward Elder Mo.

How could Jiao Yu let him provide support? Her lightness skill was inferior to his, so she directly flung her Embroidered Spring Blade.

Duan Hai truly was formidable. Even while sprinting at full speed, he was actually faster than Fox Murong's arrows.

The blade circled around his body once, knocking all three arrows away at once.

But he was in midair now, with nowhere to borrow force from. Faced with Jiao Yu's flying blade and Wen Shihan's meteor hammer, he could only take them head-on.

Pfft!

Bang!

The flying blade pierced his back, and the meteor hammer smashed into his face.

Under the double assault, Duan Hai immediately spat blood and crashed down at Elder Mo's feet.

"Boss, kill him, quickly!"

Wei Xuanfeng felt his head growing dizzier and dizzier, his legs weak and limp as if he had drunk too much.

After saying that, he toppled over stiffly.

Fortunately, Wen Shihan reacted quickly and, clutching her chest, caught him.

Fox Murong also leapt straight down from the tree, pouncing toward Wei Xuanfeng.

Seeing this, Jiao Yu immediately charged at Elder Mo.

"I've raised this dog for nearly thirty years. Now that he's dying, I'm very angry."

Elder Mo glanced at Duan Hai, who was barely clinging to life at his feet, his expression dark.

Facing Jiao Yu as she lunged at him like a mother leopard, he merely gave a cold laugh.

"Go!"

At his command, Jiao Yu saw the Blackwater Mosquito shoot toward her faster than she could move.

"Ha!"

She did not flinch. Her protective aura immediately surged to its limit, while her own presence climbed to its peak!

Jiao Yu refused to believe that the Blackwater Mosquito could pierce her protective aura. She intended to punch Elder Mo to death directly.

But the instant the Blackwater Mosquito landed on her neck, a warrior's intuition screamed a frantic warning through her!

How is that possible...

Could this mosquito pierce through her protective true qi?

In the instant she hesitated between continuing her attack and driving the mosquito away, the Blackwater Mosquito's proboscis pierced straight through Jiao Yu's protective true qi and into her snowy-white skin.

"Impossible!"

Jiao Yu made the exact same move Wei Xuanfeng had made not long ago.

She slapped at the mosquito with all her strength.

And the result was exactly the same as Wei Xuanfeng's.

A bloody handprint was left on her neck as well...

The Blackwater Mosquito, meanwhile, leisurely flew back to Elder Mo's side.

Jiao Yu immediately felt dizzy and disoriented. She shook her head and attacked Elder Mo again.

But this time, her fists had become soft and powerless.

"Little girl, are you flirting with this old man?" Elder Mo calmly evaded her attacks, his face still wearing that unfathomable expression. "If it had been a dozen years earlier, this old man would certainly have taken you as a concubine."

"Black Banner cur! Die!"

Jiao Yu grew dizzier and dizzier. After throwing several punches, she could no longer even find Elder Mo's direction.

"Eh! Why can't you, little girl, endure as well as that boy?"

Elder Mo hesitated briefly, then flashed forward and drove a kick straight into Jiao Yu's abdomen.

Bang!

Jiao Yu's tall body was sent flying.

Fox Murong immediately caught her.

"Boss, how are you?!" Fox Murong roared.

"Don't... don't mind me..." Jiao Yu forced herself to retain her last shred of clarity and pushed Fox Murong away. "Take Wei Xuanfeng... and run..."

"Run? None of you are getting away!" Elder Mo snorted coldly. Then he looked toward Duan Hai, who lay on the ground like a dead dog. "Don't waste that blood and vitality of yours either. Go on, little fellow."

He had raised Blackwater Mosquitoes for many years and understood these descendants of ancient vicious insects extremely well.

As long as even one Blackwater Mosquito remained, once it was given enough blood, within three days, it would breed thousands upon thousands of Blackwater Mosquitoes again.

Kill these people, then seize back the Earth Immortal Spring Lotus.

Then his goal would still be achieved!

At Elder Mo's command, the Blackwater Mosquito pounced straight at Duan Hai, its six legs gripping the skin of his neck.

Its proboscis bored into his skin, and blood streamed endlessly into the Blackwater Mosquito's body at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Starting from his neck, Duan Hai's skin caved in, like an empty hide with all its stuffing sucked out.

The Blackwater Mosquito seemed like a bottomless pit. Even after the man had been drained into a desiccated corpse, its abdomen did not swell in the slightest.

The sight filled Fox Murong with despair.

She knew that only if Wen Shihan burned her blood essence and set her vest ablaze before using One Reed Crossing River would she have any chance of escaping the Blackwater Mosquito's pursuit.

As for herself...

She would surely die.

"Shihan, run!"

"What about you?"

"I betrayed you once. This time, consider it my repayment!"

As she spoke, Fox Murong drew her embroidered spring blade and was about to charge at Elder Mo.

"I told you, none of you are getting away."

Hearing the two women's words, Elder Mo immediately raised a hand and pointed at them.

Under the control of his mind, the Blackwater Mosquito reluctantly left Duan Hai's corpse and flew toward the two women.

"Run, damn it!"

Fox Murong shoved Wen Shihan away, then swung her blade at the Blackwater Mosquito.

But after feeding on the blood of a peak Martial Artist realm warrior, the Blackwater Mosquito was even faster than before.

Fox Murong's blade posed no threat to it at all.

The Blackwater Mosquito evaded the blade's edge and landed elegantly and precisely on her fair neck.

It all happened too fast. Wen Shihan had only just turned around after being pushed away when she saw Fox Murong collapse to the ground.

Her embroidered spring blade slipped from her hand and landed in the mud with a dull thud.

The next moment...

Bang!

Wen Shihan felt an itch on her neck, and then she followed in Fox Murong's footsteps.

In the final moment before losing consciousness, she vaguely heard Elder Mo say cheerfully, "Little one, don't be so impatient. Wait until you've drained the Earth Immortal Spring Lotus, then drink these people's blood, all right?"

After saying that, Elder Mo looked at the four people sprawled messily across the ground, a trace of regret flashing through his eyes.

"My young friend, I truly wanted to take you as my final disciple. Alas, what a pity..." In Elder Mo's eyes, there was only Wei Xuanfeng.

This young man had left far too deep an impression on him.

Steady, wise, calculating, and ruthless.

What a pity...

In the end, he still had no choice but to kill him...

So be it. Once the Blackwater Mosquito devoured his essence blood, it would count as accompanying him in another form.

With that thought, Elder Mo walked step by step toward Wei Xuanfeng.

He was certain that the Earth Immortal Spring Lotus was on the other man.

But just as he bent down to search Wei Xuanfeng's body, Wei Xuanfeng's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened.
