    "Seems like there's no other way."

    Chen Mo clenched his fists with both hands, his face expressing a slight sense of seriousness. He raised his head to lock eyes with Jin Jian and Yin Shi, standing in front of him.

    "What? Too afraid to move? Haha, with your body martial artists' blood essence, it's impossible for you to defeat us."

    Yin Shi's laughter was dark and mocking.

    Jin Jian sneered, waving his bloody hand violently, "Since you have given up, then die."

    As the words fell, a vines that could block out the sun and moon suddenly dropped down. Then, it tightly wrapped Chen Mo inside, with thorny vines like knives cutting through Chen Mo's skin. The blood dyed the ground red, slowly oozing from underground.

    "Chen brother"

    "Elder"

    Sun Qian and Su Keke were petrified upon witnessing the scene. Chen Mo was their backbone, and if even he perished, they feared they would not have much longer to live.

    Sun Qian's face was flushed with panic, and he took a half-step backwards. Then, without realizing it, he grabbed Su Keke's arm and pulled her back with him.

    Su Keke's expression was stunned. She looked at the dense vines in front of her and then at Sun Qian, before ultimately biting her tongue and deciding to follow him in retreating.

    "Recording completed"

    Just then, with a piece of paper and a pen in hand, Zuo Quan Sheng leaped up excitedly, shouting. As he turned around, he saw the two retreating figures and the sky-high vines. A strange expression appeared on his face.

    "What's wrong?"

    Just now, Zuo Quan Sheng had been concentrating on transcribing, with his ears unhearing things outside, completely unaware of what was happening in front of him.

    "Bad news, Left brother, Brother Chen has been killed."

    Looking at Zuo Quan Sheng, Sun Qian seemed to see a lifeline, as if he had seen a savior.

    "How could that be..."

    Zuo Quan Sheng's expression grew serious, his eyes fixated on the vines in the distance. Suddenly, he sensed the presence of Qi and Blood, recognizing that it was Chen Mo who was using them.

    Bang

    A deafening roar suddenly erupted as a swirl of air began to explode from the center of the vines. In an instant, it enveloped Chen Mo with the dense vines, destroying them all at once. Following this, a formless force surged toward the two individuals in front of Chen Mo, Jin Jian and Yin Shi.

    "Bad!"

    With countless parasitic worms in his body, Yin Shi felt the crisis immediately. He wanted to run away, but his legs were frozen with fear. Meanwhile, Jin Jian behind him was also terrified and wanted to call for the vines to protect himself, but it was too late.

    The storm struck suddenly, and in a flash, the space trembled violently. The forest was flattened, the mountains were hollowed out without a trace, as if carved by gods. In the distance, the clouds that had gathered together dispersed; above that, space twisted.

    The secret realm has distorted.

    The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the scene before them shocked everyone present.

    Zuo Quan Sheng trembled slightly, "So strong, so strong. When, when will I have such abilities?"

    Sun Qian and Su Keke had seen Chen Mo's skills before, but seeing him again now, they were still shocked. Moreover, this time, it seemed that Chen Mo's explosive power had grown stronger.

    Click

    Several bloodstained parasitic worms fell noisily from the sky, while Yin Shi and Jin Jian had been pounded into nothingness by Chen Mo's punch.

    Chen Mo's body shook violently, feeling dizzy. Then, his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground.

    Zuo Quan Sheng moved quickly, going up to help Chen Mo. Then, Sun Qian and Su Keke followed.

    "Brother Chen, I have finished copying the cultivation method."

    Zuo Quan Sheng handed a piece of paper covered in tiny writing to Chen Mo, staring at him with eyes full of curiosity and excitement. At this moment, in his eyes, Chen Mo seemed like a deity.

    "That's good"

    Chen Mo struggled to force a smile and then put the paper in his bosom, "Time is pressing, and I won't waste words with you. The Ling Xiu Sect should be in cahoots with those two just now. With the commotion I've made, they will definitely come to take a look. Hurry up; if we're late, we might not get away."

    Upon hearing this, Left Qian Sheng and the other two nodded, and then helped Chen Mo leave.

    "Want to leave? It's too late."

    Just at that moment, a voice suddenly echoed from a distance. Only to see, Ling Changfeng arriving in a hurry with a group of disciples dressed in Ling Xiu Sect attire.

    Ling Changfeng first scanned the surroundings, shocked by Chen Mo's terrifying power. But soon, he calmed down the shock in his heart and then looked at him coldly with a smile: "It's good that you have seen it. Among all the body warriors I have seen, I am willing to call you the strongest. However, it's a pity that your blood essence of body warriors is too little. It was exhausted in a fight. Now, after exhausting blood essence, it's time for you to die."

    Ling Changfeng laughed coldly, though he felt regretful about the deaths of the Two Breathing Champs, at the same time, he was also relieved that it wasn't himself who had fought against Chen Mo; otherwise, it would have been him who died.

    "You dirty little man, if you have the courage, wait until he regains his blood essence, and then come back."

    Su Keke snorted coldly and called out indignantly.

    "You little girl, do you really think I'm stupid? With his terrifying power, how could I let him have a chance to recover? Die already."

    Ling Changfeng coldly snorted.

    "Hmph, his blood essence is depleted, but mine hasn't."

    Zuo Quan Sheng stepped forward, his expression serious as he fixed his gaze on Ling Changfeng. Because of Su Keke's reason, his attack power had increased during the battle with the wall gecko beast, so he did not need to waste more blood essence to fight. Now, he had an excess of blood essence.

    However, Ling Changfeng was a four-grade martial artist, while Zuo Quan Sheng was a five-grade one. Furthermore, there was a restriction on blood essence. Regardless of how hard he tried, he could not be his opponent. Standing forward now was just to buy time for them to escape.

    In Zuo Quan Sheng's eyes, Chen Mo had more talent than him. Perhaps, he could lead the body martial artists to brilliance.

    "Left brother is trying to give us the chance to run away, Chen brother, let's hurry and escape."

    Sun Qian grabbed Chen Mo's arm, urging him.

    "There's no escaping."

    Chen Mo shook his head, heart ashen. Ling Changfeng was a four-grade martial artist, while they had only two eight-grade support players who were as weak as paper. If the latter took down Left Quan Sheng, they would have no chance of survival.

    Moreover, according to Chen Mo's inference, since Ling Changfeng collaborated with those wizards and poison masters to absorb the Qi and Blood of cultivators, he must have been well-prepared. It was possible that the exit had already been blocked by them.

    Upon hearing this, Sun Qian also realized the severity of the situation and helplessly lowered his head. If he had known, he wouldn't have come to cause trouble in the first place.

    Su Keke sighed helplessly and then looked at Chen Mo, whose face was pale. "I'll still treat your injuries."

    Chen Mo was covered in blood, which was from the sharp thorns on the vines earlier. However, for him, these were just superficial wounds. His physical body was now so powerful that most attacks could only scratch his skin.

    "Eh, these wounds, whether they are treated or not is the same. Don't waste your effort..."

    Chen Mo was speaking when he suddenly felt a warm sensation. It wasn't just because Su Keke had healed his wounds, but also because he could feel his blood essence restoring...
