Mutual Destruction

Mutual Destruction

"Brother Xiao, you really are something. Grand Marshal Mo Ya really did betray the nation. But how did you lure both Grand Marshal Mo Ya and Ghost Spider of the Cloud Empire here?"

When Mu Chen saw Xiao Lin return, he was both shocked and delighted.

Naturally, he was shocked because, just as Xiao Lin had said, Grand Marshal Mo Ya had truly betrayed the nation.

Just think about it—if Xiao Lin had not warned them in advance, their whole group might have perished in the Black Rock Mountains today.

What delighted him was that Xiao Lin had not only exposed Grand Marshal Mo Ya's scheme, but had also made him fight Ghost Spider, the commander of the Cloud Empire.

With such strategy and planning, it would not be an exaggeration to call Xiao Lin the empire's true Grand Marshal!

However, Mu Chen had no idea that strategy alone could never accomplish such a feat. At the very least, one also needed extraordinary strength.

After all, if Xiao Lin had truly only been a Nine-Star Dou Spirit, setting everything else aside, how could he have killed more than ten Battle Spirits and over a hundred Great Dou Masters in the Black Rock Mountains?

As long as the Cloud Empire's elite squad had remained unharmed, every misunderstanding between Grand Marshal Mo Ya and Ghost Spider could have been slowly cleared up.

But now, after one misunderstanding after another, Ghost Spider could no longer be bothered to listen to Mo Ya's "nonsense."

To Ghost Spider, there was only one word: Fight!

The current result was the combined achievement of Xiao Lin's strength and planning.

Mm, with a tiny bit of foresight thrown in.

"As for that..."

Xiao Lin then briefly explained his plan to Mu Chen and the others.

Of course, he only explained how he had guessed that Grand Marshal Mo Ya would send someone to contact the Cloud Empire, how he had captured that contact, and how he had finally written letters to lure both men to the Black Rock Mountains.

As for how the Cloud Empire's elite squad had died afterward, that had nothing to do with him. Mo Ya could carry that blame.

It could also be considered a way of reducing some of Mo Ya's sins of treason.

That was what Xiao Lin thought.

Seeing how deeply Ghost Spider hated Mo Ya, Mu Chen naturally did not think too much about it.

In his view, Xiao Lin had probably used some unknown method to make the Cloud Empire's elite squad attack Grand Marshal Mo Ya, only for them to be killed in return.

Even if he were beaten to death, he would never believe that Xiao Lin, a mere Nine-Star Dou Spirit, could wipe out the Cloud Empire's elite squad by himself.

"Brother Xiao truly possesses exceptional talent and great strategy! This time, you saw through the plot between Grand Marshal Mo Ya and the Cloud Empire. You absolutely deserve the greatest credit!"

At that moment, Mu Chen's admiration for Xiao Lin flowed as endlessly as the Yellow River.

Not only Mu Chen—even the thirty Great Dou Masters behind him looked at Xiao Lin with admiration and gratitude.

After all, without Xiao Lin, they might all have been buried here today.

This was undoubtedly a life-saving debt!

"That's right, General Xiao. We will never forget your life-saving grace!"

"Exactly. Without General Xiao, we might not even have made it home."

"Who would have thought that Grand Marshal Mo Ya would actually betray the nation?"

"Isn't that so? I might suspect anyone, but I had never suspected the Grand Marshal!"

"General Xiao was the sharp one. He saw through everything!"

"That's right, General Xiao. Great kindness needs no words. If you ever need us, just say the word!"

"Exactly. We all owe General Xiao our lives!"

After all that lavish praise, even Xiao Lin felt a little lightheaded.

However, he quickly calmed down again.

Right now, the most important thing was the final outcome of the battle between Grand Marshal Mo Ya and Ghost Spider, the commander of the Cloud Empire.

That was the main reason why, despite having the strength, he had hidden himself in the shadows and deliberately provoked conflict between Mo Ya and Ghost Spider.

Because at this moment, Xiao Lin believed that he still lacked sufficient power to protect himself and did not wish to expose himself.

Afterward, the group continued hiding to the side, watching Mo Ya and Ghost Spider clash fiercely in midair.

After fighting for so long, both Mo Ya and Ghost Spider had already been wounded.

After taking the pill that could enhance his strength, Ghost Spider's strange Poison Dou Qi had truly caused Mo Ya enormous trouble.

At that moment, Mo Ya's entire left arm had turned purple-black. Even the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth was black and carried a faint stench.

Clearly, after fighting for so long, Mo Ya had been poisoned.

If not for his Battle King-level Dou Qi forcefully suppressing it, the poison might have already flared up and killed him outright.

Even so, his movements had gradually become stiff, while the pair of azure Dou Qi wings behind his back had slowly grown blurry, as though they might dissipate at any moment.

On the other side, Ghost Spider was in no better condition. In fact, he was even worse off than Mo Ya!

After all, his strength was ultimately a step below Mo Ya's.

Even after taking the medicine and receiving the boost from his Poison Dou Qi, he could only barely fight Mo Ya to a draw. He could not suppress him.

If Ghost Spider had not already resolved to die, he might have been defeated by now.

As for Ghost Spider's current state, a huge wound carved by a wind blade ran from his right shoulder to the lower left side of his abdomen. Blood continued to pour from it, dyeing his clothes red.

Not only that, there was also a wound carved by a wind blade on his right cheek. Even part of his right earlobe had been sliced off.

His face was covered in blood and deathly pale, making it seem as though he might collapse at any second.

Yet the determination in his heart, the determination to kill Mo Ya, kept him standing.

"No, the medicine's effects are about to wear off. I have to kill Mo Ya, that despicable bastard, before then and wash away the humiliation of the Cloud Empire being toyed with.

I can die, but Mo Ya absolutely cannot live!

It seems I have no choice but to risk everything in one final strike!"

In the blink of an eye, Ghost Spider had made up his mind.

At that moment, Mo Ya still did not know that Ghost Spider intended to kill him even at the cost of his own life.

Affected by the Poison Dou Qi, Mo Ya had to devote part of his Dou Qi to suppressing the poison that was constantly spreading toward his heart.

As a result, he did not notice the flash of resolve that crossed Ghost Spider's face.

By the time Mo Ya reacted, he suddenly discovered that Ghost Spider had actually endured a wind blade he had launched and charged straight at him.

"Has Ghost Spider gone mad?"

That was Mo Ya's first thought.

When he noticed the Dou Qi throughout Ghost Spider's body swelling violently, his expression changed drastically.

"Not good! This idiot wants to self-destruct and take me with him!"

The instant that thought surfaced in Mo Ya's mind, he saw Ghost Spider's twisted expression.

"Mo Ya, I told you before—even if I die, I'll drag you, you despicable bastard, down with me. Die! Hahaha!"

Boom!

Amid his crazed laughter, Ghost Spider directly unleashed a spectacular self-destruction.

A brilliant firework erupted beneath the night sky over the Black Rock Mountains.

The self-destruction of a Six-Star Battle King, one who was faintly approaching Seven-Star Battle King, was already comparable to a strike from a Dou Emperor.

Faced with such an attack, there was no suspense at all. Mo Ya's entire body was swallowed by it.

At the moment Ghost Spider self-destructed, not only Mo Ya, but even Xiao Lin and the others hiding in the shadows and watching were stunned.

They had considered every possibility, but they had never imagined that Ghost Spider's hatred for Mo Ya would run so deep that he would rather self-destruct than let him live.
