    "Who are you?"

    The woman in black battle armor asked in a cold voice, her icy eyes fixed on Chen Mo, with a hint of hostility in her gaze.

    Chen Mo's expression changed slightly as he took a brief glance at the woman in her unique attire. After spending a month at Tian Mo sect, he had seen many people, but this woman was one he had never encountered before.

    Although he had never seen her before, the unique attire still allowed Chen Mo to recognize her identity as one of the four sacred nuns of Tian Mo sect, Feng Banxia.

    This person was Liu Wuxin's reliable general, constantly warring outside, and definitely does not know about his affairs. After a moment of careful consideration, Chen Mo managed to smile slightly and said, "I am a stranger just arrived, temporarily lost my way here. Now I want to go back. Does the Lady of the Holy One have any way to let me pass?”

    The cold eyes stared fiercely at Chen Mo, and his heart couldn't help but feel tense. In his haste, he concocted an excuse at random, which even he felt was full of holes...

    In the gaze between them, Chen Mo's forehead was drenched with cold sweat. He was worried, but then he saw Feng Banxia suddenly say 'oh' and turn aside, really giving him a path to pass through.

    Chen Mo took a deep breath of relief and quickly moved forward.

    "Wait a moment."

    Suddenly, Feng Banxia called out to Chen Mo, who immediately changed his expression, stopped in his steps, and had a stiff look on his face, "Is there something important, Lady of the Holy One?"

    "Do you say you're lost..."

    Feng Banxia stared at Chen Mo with a serious expression, "Would you like me to help you find your way?"

    "Your people are actually quite nice."

    Chen Mo let out a breath of relief and quickly waved to refuse, "No need. I have already asked someone for directions. Now you know where to go. Thank you very much for your kindness, Lady of the Holy One."

    With that said, Chen Mo thought of leaving the place as quickly as possible, fearing that delay might lead to trouble.

    "Wait a moment."

    Another voice called out to Chen Mo, but this time it was not Feng Banxia, but another woman's voice.

    A black shadow slowly descended from atop a wooden house.

    The person had a chaotic, black long hair that was casually scattered, covering half of their face. Their deep eyes were bright and shimmering with a unique sense of exhaustion. Under their eyes were thick black circles, and their face was as white as a corpse, giving off a sense of illness.

    She wore a loose black robe that completely covered her body, with long sleeves hanging down and hidden hands. Her back was arched, giving off a sense of lifelessness.

    Glancing at Chen Mo from top to bottom, the woman in black made a faint smile at the corner of her mouth and emitted a strange laugh, "Kuku kuku, I've heard, there's an assassin in the west district, being chased and hunted right now. It seems there's more than one assassin; your actions are so hurried, could it be that you're an accomplice of that assassin?"

    "That's impossible. I am certainly not an assassin. Even if I wanted to, I don't have the strength to do so."

    Chen Mo smiled awkwardly and gave a brief glance at the woman in black robes. Although her appearance was not as unique as Feng Banxia's, her expression and the eerie laugh reminded him of someone else, one of the four sacred nuns of Tian Mo sect - Mu Qiuge.

    "Kuku kuku, your strength doesn't seem very impressive, but I can sense the aura of powerful insects on you... And plus, you look very tense. Even if you're not an assassin, you must have some connection with them."

    Mu Qiuge analyzed seriously.

    Wind Banxia paused for a moment, and the upright cow horn helmet tilted slightly. Her not-so-intelligent brain suddenly started to work, "That means he was lying to me just now?"

    "Kuku kuku, Half Summer, he must have been lying to you just then."

    Mu Qiuge said seriously.

    Wind Banxia straightened her head back, and her cold eyes suddenly filled with killing intent.

    "Not good."

    Chen Mo's heart called for trouble in his mind. As soon as the thought of suicide appeared, he sensed that something was wrong. He opened his mouth to explain, but he saw Wind Banxia had appeared in front of him, with a punch as big as a sand bag raised high and aiming directly at him.

    A ferocious attack, Chen Mo chose not to confront her head-on, but instead fled to the side.

    Wind Banxia missed her strike, paused in place for a moment, watching Chen Mo escape her attack and then immediately vanish towards the west district. The expression beneath the war helmet changed slightly, and then her figure became a flash of lightning, reaching Chen Mo's back in an instant.

    "I am not an assassin."

    Chen Mo tried to explain again, but Wind Banxia did not respond to him and continued her attacks without pausing for a moment.

    Chen Mo sighed helplessly, "If you don't understand reason, then I am also somewhat skilled in martial arts."

    After speaking, Chen Mo turned and barely avoided Wind Banxia's latest attack. He knew that she was one-minded, once she believed something, it was hard to change.

    Since she believed he had deceived her, she would seek revenge on Chen Mo, not something that could be explained with just a few words. She needed to be convinced.

    Wind Banxia cultivates in the path of Qi Martial Arts, and although her cultivation level is only at the fourth grade, her strength is not easily defeated by Chen Mo, who has just entered the seventh grade in Qi and blood.

    "I can't kill her, so I can only knock her down with a heavy blow, and then I'll escape in a chance..."

    Chen Mo had already made up his mind in his heart. As Wind Banxia prepared to strike again, he took a deep breath, and the qi and blood in his body rolled out from his Dan Tian.

    "Tian Xiang Boxing."

    Chen Mo delivered a massive punch without any restraint, causing a thunderous boom in the air. The punch unleashed a storm of fury, shattering the ground beneath him.

    Unprepared, Wind Banxia had no time to react before suffering this blow. The punch landed on her chest with a 'thud,' leaving a large indentation on the armor, and above the indentation, a barely visible crack appeared.

    Wind Banxia was also knocked back in the next moment, spraying a mist of blood from within her helmet and staining the ground red.

    "Good opportunity."

    Chen Mo heaved a sigh of relief and quickly summoned Little Treasure to replenish his qi, then turned and fled quickly in the opposite direction.

    "Kuku kuku, Half Summer, are you alright?"

    Watching Wind Banxia being knocked back, Mu Qiuge ran up in three steps to two, her eyes showing a hint of concern, but her mouth curled slightly upwards in a smile.

    Wind Banxia coughed heavily and struggled to sit up, her right hand touched the crack on her chest, followed by the bloodstained helmet.

    Thud Thud Thud——

    The red blood stained Wind Banxia's palm, and in the next moment, her dark eyes turned to a deep crimson. She laughed fiercely, "So strong, so strong of power! Ha ha ha."

    "Kuku kuku, it's over, Half Summer is going crazy."

    Mu Qiuge sighed helplessly and turned to look at the distant figure.

    Boom

    A loud explosion sounded, and Mu Qiuge felt the ground beneath her crumble instantly. The wind beside her stirred up her chaotic hair, and her robe was blown away by the wind, but the person beside her had vanished.

    "I struck a punch with a light hand, but its power was not weak. I expect that Wind Banxia should be severely injured..."

    Chen Mo estimated in his heart that Wind Banxia wouldn't recover so quickly, and as he was pondering, he suddenly felt a fierce gale blowing from behind him, causing him to freeze in place and turn back.

    Wind Banxia is actually pursuing me...
