Scores of swords accompanied by several water dragons fiercely attacked, and Ning Xin and Li Yueyue, the two girls, tried to dodge but were firmly held in place by Chen Mo.
The two women turned to him with anger in their eyes, "What do you want? Just because of that earlier, now you're here again, are you trying to get us killed here?"
Chen Mo, not hurrying, looked around with a careful gaze and then spoke out calmly, "Haven't you noticed that traps have been set up all around us?"
"Traps?"
Ning Xin raised her eyebrows, looking around seriously, "What kind of trap could there possibly be here? Just the fog and trees, what could we miss?"
Ning Xin, who was not particularly worried about this, now felt a bit more alert because of Chen Mo's reminder. She could vaguely feel that the surrounding areas were filled with spiritual power, and the spiritual power source was attached to fine lines that looked like spider webs. These lines surrounded them tightly.
"It seems you've noticed. These fine lines around here are set by the third assassin. If you had dared to leave this place just now, you would have been caught... These lines seem harmless, but if touched, they can easily cut open flesh, and more severely, they can amputate limbs or even cause death..."
Chen Mo explained.
Li Yueyue's face darkened slightly. Her insight was not as good as Ning Xin's, but even with her mediocre insight, she quickly discovered the danger around them after hearing Chen Mo's words.
"Less talk, I'll block the attack. You two cut off the traps around here, don't get caught in them. Remember to support me later..."
Chen Mo threw a single sentence down, then stood up and swung a fist in the air. This time he put all his strength into the punch, breaking the air with one punch and pushing back the hundred iron swords. In the next moment, several water dragons were shattered by the punch and turned into droplets that fell into the water below.
Following that, Chen Mo thrust his feet against the branches beneath him, propelling himself in the direction of the Manjian Zun above the water surface with a powerful kick.
"Yueyue, go help him. I'll go find the criminal who set these traps hidden in the shadows."
Ning Xin, after calmly analyzing the current situation, made a quick decision and then swung her long sword to cut off all the lines surrounding them.
The fine lines were withdrawn abruptly, then quickly pulled back to a single point. Ning Xin's phoenix-like eyes widened, and she stared fiercely at that spot, "Found it."
Li Yueyue didn't waste time. What they were facing now were three experienced and highly coordinated assassins. If they didn't fight quickly and decisively, they might suffer a disadvantage.
"The strength is good, but it's a pity that your idea is too naive. If you continue to stay on the tree, you might find our loopholes. However, you are so rashly coming down, and it's not useful for anything except dying..."
The person under the lake made a hoarse voice and laughed coldly.
As the voice from the depths of the lake subsided, it was seen that the water all around suddenly surged up, as if a tidal wave were about to engulf Chen Mo completely.
The Manjian Zun stepped back several steps on the water surface and then waved his hand. Suddenly, several seven-foot-long swords appeared in the air above, falling from the sky and fiercely charging towards Chen Mo.
"There's nothing to regret. It's better to fight than to wait for death. How can you be sure I must lose? Have you ever heard, 'One man can defeat ten with sheer strength'?"
Chen Mo chuckled lightly. Although he couldn't gain momentum in the air, if he fell into the water, the person under the lake would definitely have control over him. Therefore, before landing on the water surface, he swung his fist fiercely, and the wind of his punch echoed through the air.
A burst of roaring sound suddenly rang out, and in an instant, the entire lake exploded violently, revealing the original ground. On the ground was a mound covered with soil.
This is the second layer of defense set by the wizard who cultivates both water and earth elements.
This person has extremely strong abilities, but he values his life, so he often hides in the water. He uses his field to protect himself and not only that, but also to prevent this layer of defense from being breached, he specifically wrapped it again with soil at the bottom of the water.
This is indeed a careful measure.
When Chen Mo's punch made the entire lake reveal the land, the wizard was startled and secretly grateful that he had made an additional layer of defense early on. Otherwise, facing such a formidable opponent, his situation would undoubtedly be very difficult.
However, before he could take a breath and bring the surrounding water to surround the mound, he saw that the aftershocks of Chen Mo's previous punch shattered the mound in the next moment.
A middle-aged man in black clothes, holding a magic staff, appeared in front of Chen Mo. His eyes bulged out, his face twisted in terror, and he trembled in fear as he exclaimed, "How can this be? How can you..."
"I didn't tell you, 'One man can defeat ten with sheer strength'?"
Chen Mo smiled indifferently, and as soon as he spoke, he had already landed on the ground. The surrounding water rushed towards him ferociously, and he charged forward violently. Before the wizard could react, he grabbed him with one hand and slammed him heavily into the ground.
With a 'boom' sound, the entire ground cracked open, and the water that had surged around seemed like a puppet with its strings cut, plummeting vertically.
The sound was crisp, pleasant, and it's a good head.
Chen Mo smiled and said, "It looks like a sunny and cheerful boy, but the expression and the words spoken in his ears sound like the whispers of a demon."
Just then, his head was almost cracked in half, and blood seeped out along his forehead and the back of his skull. As a killer who often hides in the shadows to kill, he has never seen such a scene before. With the blood flowing into his eyes, his eyes filled with fear.
"Scoundrel, let him go!"
At this moment, a voice came from the distance. It was seen that the Manjian Zun, who had been pushed back by Chen Mo's previous punch, held his sword hurriedly and ran over. Meanwhile, the several seven-foot-long swords floating in the sky also descended simultaneously.
Chen Mo pressed the wizard's head with one hand, slammed out a punch with the other, and kicked away several long swords with his right leg. There was still one sword that he did not have enough strength to block, and he was about to retreat when he saw Li Yueyue rush over and slash her sword to push the sword back.
"Let me handle Manjian Zun, you deal with the wizard first."
Li Yueyue, after simply and clearly saying that, immediately held the blade and started to fight against Manjian Zun.
Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the wizard in his hand and smiled, "Next, it's our turn to battle."
"You..."
The wizard was panicking at this moment. The person in front of him was not a sunny and cheerful boy, but a demon. He gripped the magic staff tightly in his hand, causing the soil beneath his feet to sink, and the water around him to slowly gather towards him.
"More?"
Chen Mo was calm and unruffled. He slammed the wizard's head heavily onto the ground, making a 'boom' sound. Blood dyed the entire ground.
At this moment, the wizard's consciousness began to blur. He only felt a splitting headache.
"Die."
Chen Mo casually said one word, and his killing intent appeared suddenly. However, when he was about to land the final blow, he saw a blood-red worm crawl out from his arm, open its eyes and stare at him.
"What is this..."
Chen Mo furrowed his brow. Before he could think it through, he saw the blood-red worm crawl onto his hand and start to crawl towards the wizard's head that he was holding in his hand...
