" This is..."
Gazing at the sudden surge of red light from the talismans in Chen Mo's hand, Ning Xin and Li Yueyue became immediately vigilant. They had seen this thing before, not for the first time.
Last time in the courtyard, they had seen Chen Mo use it once before, and after that, they found the subordinates of Miao Tiannan, who were responsible for monitoring the surroundings.
After the talisman glowed for a moment, it suddenly saw several colorful butterflies flying in the dense fog of the forest, like elves in the forest.
Liu Yueyue's vigilance lessened slightly as she approached with a smile, "How beautiful these butterflies are."
"Yueyue, do not move randomly. The enemy is nearby, so it's best to be more vigilant."
"Sister Ning, I just want to take a look at the butterfly. It won't bother anyone."
Li Yueyue smiled slightly, extended her right index finger, and tried to get the few colorful butterflies to land on it. But at this moment, Chen Mo suddenly roared, "Step back."
The sound was so loud that it echoed through the forest, startling Li Yueyue, who had relaxed slightly. Her feet moved unconsciously to take a few steps back.
"I'm just going to play with the butterflies. You don't need to be so fierce, right?"
Li Yueyue looked back at Chen Mo with a resentful gaze.
However, just as her words fell, they saw the several colorful butterflies flying in the air suddenly transform into blood-red figures, rushing towards Li Yueyue fiercely.
Having been warned by Chen Mo's loud command, both women were a bit more alert. Li Yueyue took a quick step back, and Ning Xin charged forward. She grabbed the hilt of her sword and pulled hard, drawing her longsword from her waist. She swung the sword in the air, slicing the several blood-red figures in two at once.
"Don't be deceived by the beauty of these colorful butterflies; they are actually poisons, not just any kind of poison, but blood poisons. If you had touched them just now, it wouldn't be long before you turned into a dried cadaver."
Chen Mo turned his head and spoke with a tone of reprimand, "The dense fog in the forest is the technique those people are using. And this place is on the enemy's territory. If you act carelessly, you may end up dead on the spot. If you don't want to die, don't be careless."
"Oh, I understand."
Li Yueyue curled her lips, then nodded seriously, seized the hilt of the sword with her right hand, and quickly pulled the longsword from her waist, immediately becoming alert.
"If you're already moving, why continue to hide? Come out openly and honestly. Isn't that better? Or are you afraid of dying at our hands?"
Chen Mo suddenly shouted towards the direction where the butterflies were flying.
The dense fog in the forest still remained, and no one could be seen around. After a brief silence, a raspy voice suddenly came from somewhere, "Come out? You have three people, and I have only one. If I come out, I will definitely die."
"Only one person?"
Li Yueyue repeated it in a low voice, her face couldn't help but break into a smile. After nearly losing her life and then being reprimanded by Chen Mo, all she wanted at this moment was to find the person who had attacked her and give him a sound beating.
"Don't believe his lies. There may be other high-level experts hiding around here. If there is only one person who is afraid of being killed by us, why does he have to take the initiative to attack us?"
Chen Mo reminded.
Li Yueyue was momentarily stunned, then blinked her eyes in a dazed and cute manner, "I, I, I, how could I possibly believe his words? Enemies always lie; I wouldn't believe them."
Ning Xin couldn't help but give Li Yueyue a glance, if they didn't believe it, why did they repeat it in the first place, and why were they so anxious? Their speech was even stuttering.
Chen Mo didn't pay attention to the two of them. His ear twitched slightly, and based on their conversation, he had roughly located the enemy's position. Then, he raised his right fist, channeling qi from his Dan Tian, and swung a punch in the air. A whirlwind formed in front of him and spread forward, penetrating over a hundred zhang (a unit of distance).
The power of this punch was far from his limit, and it could only be considered a normal punch. The force was slightly weak, but the punch wind was strong enough to disperse the mist in front of it, smashing several trees in half at the waist, and a figure landed directly in front of him.
A black robe covered his body, making it impossible to discern his form or features. However, it was clear that the hands that emerged from the black robe had red light shining on their backs.
Above the black-robed figure, colorful butterflies fluttered down, a result of being injured by Chen Mo's punch wind and dying immediately.
"This, how is this possible..."
The black-robed man took a step back in surprise, staring at Chen Mo in disbelief.
"Hmph, so it's you, this scoundrel, who wanted to take my life. Fine, then let's see you die."
Li Yueyue coldly snorted, drew her sword and charged out. Taking advantage of the black-robed man's lack of preparation, she swung her sword fiercely at his chest. Then, she swung her sword again to finish him off.
The black-robed man turned pale in terror, screaming in pain and immediately lifting his hand to beg for mercy, "Please spare my life. I, I was also carrying out orders. Please, please spare me!"
"Excuse you? Dream on. When you were trying to kill me, did you ever think about sparing me?"
Li Yueyue isn't fooled by this, and she lifts her sword to strike.
"I didn't think about sparing you, but have you ever thought about why I so easily revealed myself to you?"
At this moment, the black-robed man changed the subject, and there was even a hint of a smile in his tone.
"What do you mean by that?"
Li Yueyue took a step back and looked alert. Ning Xin and Chen Mo, who were following closely behind, were also alert at this moment.
Chen Mo, being a body warrior, had much greater physical alertness than an average person. As the black-robed man's voice fell, he suddenly felt a coldness, and then he raised his head suddenly to see a flash of light in the air.
"Up there, run fast!"
Chen Mo shouted loudly, and then retreated backward. The Ning Xin and Li Yueyue, who were already on their guard, immediately ran to the sides.
Booming!
With a loud boom, they saw that three iron swords had already landed where the three of them had stood. The blades were sharp and emitted a faint cold light. The swords were over seven feet long, and if they had hit the three of them, they would have penetrated their entire bodies from the head.
"Damn, cowards who only know how to hide and run. If you have the courage, let's fight openly. What kind of skill is it to attack while hiding?"
Li Yueyue angrily shouted.
Ning Xin's eyes fell on the three seven-foot iron swords, her expression slightly hardened, and she was surprised to say: "This, this is..."
Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and turned his head to look at Ning Xin beside him, "Do you recognize these swords?"
"I wouldn't say I know them. It's just that I've encountered a similar opponent before. More accurately, it's the Lady Saint...”
Ning Xin reminisced, "Several years ago, the Lady Saint encountered a swordsman who didn't usually carry a sword but could produce countless blades in an instant. His swordsmanship was also very strong. Although he had only fourth-level power, he could engage in a dozen rounds with the Lady Saint without losing."
"At the time, the swordsman used three swords among his collection that were exactly like the ones in front of me. I remember that he called himself, 'Master of Ten Thousand Swords'."
