"These, these are..."
Just as Qiu Qing Shan was about to strike a fatal blow to kill Mu Qiuge and Mu Lengyue together, a sudden blood-red sword qi attacked fiercely.
Qiu Qing Shan was shocked and frightened immediately. He quickly retreated a few steps, but it was too late.
Click
The blood-red sword qi swept past, instantly severing his arm.
Blood gushed out.
Qiu Qing Shan gave a pained howl, staring in disbelief with wide eyes, only to see Chen Mo standing up from the blood pool.
There was a faint red on his face and body, which was his blood.
"Impossible, this is impossible. You've clearly died."
Qiu Qing Shan couldn't believe it. Just a moment ago, he had sensed that Chen Mo's breath had dispersed, so he dared to confront Mu Qiuge and Mu Lengyue with impunity.
At that moment, as Qiu Qing Shan was astonished, Mu Qiuge and Mu Lengyue both looked at Chen Mo in shock, their expressions of surprise not lesser than his.
Particularly Mu Qiuge, who was closest to Chen Mo. She could even feel that Chen Mo had lived and died in front of her, so she was so angry.
However, when the three were astonished, an even more baffling thing happened. It seemed that Chen Mo's blood on his body and on the ground began to flow back, slowly reabsorbing into his body.
"Dead?"
Chen Mo couldn't help but snort with derision, and then lazily twisted his neck and slightly turned his shoulders. He lightly inserted the giant sword into the ground, "That was just a lie to deceive you. If I didn't pretend to be dead, how could you lower your guard?"
"If I hadn't feigned death, how could Mu Qiuge activate the thousands of faces bee within her body?"
As Chen Mo finished speaking, Qiu Qing Shan's face turned ashen. He never expected that after all the planning he had done, he would still be broken by him.
He thought he was on the third floor, but he didn't expect that Chen Mo had already reached the fifth floor.
Compared to Qiu Qing Shan, Mu Qiuge's face was no better.
"Chen Mo, you scoundrel, how could you deceive me? Do you know how worried I was?"
Mu Qiuge's fists were clenched tightly. The timid woman summoned up the courage and cursed in an indignant tone.
"Sorry, I just wanted to activate the thousands of faces bee within you. It's an extremely rare top-grade insect. It would be a real pity if you let it go because of the past."
Chen Mo smiled faintly and said.
Mu Qiuge's expression changed slightly. Chen Mo's words were true. The thousands of faces bee was indeed powerful. However, because of the tragedy in the past, she had always sealed away the bee, no longer using its power. This had resulted in not only suffering from the negative effects of the bee but also dragging down her cultivation progress.
Until now, she has been unable to break through to the third level of cultivation, and the thousands of faces bee has been a major factor in that.
Some of these things, Chen Mo had also secretly hinted at her before, but Mu Qiuge still decided to seal it permanently...
Now, Chen Mo brought it up again, and Mu Qiuge's face immediately showed signs of hesitation. Should she accept the thousands of faces bee and use it, or should she continue to seal it away?
If she chooses the former, then the first thing to do now would be to eliminate the unstable element.
Inevitably, Mu Qiuge turned her gaze towards Qiu Qing Shan.
At that moment, Qiu Qing Shan also felt fear.
Before he could react, Chen Mo's figure had vanished and reappeared in front of him.
A black giant sword was thrust forward, striking the abdomen of Qiu Qing Shan directly. After that, Chen Mo pulled out the sword in a flash and struck him with a palm, sending him flying back dozens of miles.
"The blood-bone has already been destroyed by me. Now he no longer has the strength to retaliate. How to deal with him is up to you."
Chen Mo turned around and looked at the two daughters, Mu Qiuge and Mu Lengyue.
The two women looked at each other in hesitation.
"No, don't, don't kill me. Qiuge, Lengyue, don't kill me. Please don't kill me"
"I know, all my actions have been ruthless and heartless, but you should also understand that I have my own hardships."
"As the leader of Black Mountain Cave, all that I have done has been for the sake of Black Mountain Cave."
"Think about it carefully. Black Mountain Cave has a weak status in Miao Zhou and is always under pressure from other caves like Wan Duo Cave. If I don't strive for progress, what will become of Black Mountain Cave in the future?"
......
Qiu Qing Shan spoke in earnest, and as he spoke, the two daughters, Mu Lengyue and Mu Qiuge, were moved by pity.
Mu Qiuge hesitated, pinched the hem of her dress, and then glanced back at Chen Mo, who was now closing his eyes as if sensing something.
Chen Mo had said just now that his death was not entirely a false one. A simulated death with his body pierced could be easily mistaken for the real thing if not done carefully.
And Chen Mo did it because he saw his own difficulty in getting out and recalled his previous guess.
Since he had long been a pawn on the chessboard, he must have been invincible at this moment.
So, he wanted to try and see what kind of reaction his body would make under such a deadlock.
The result was beyond Chen Mo's expectation. At the brink of death, his body broke through the limit and managed to break through the second level.
Second-level physical cultivation.
A question that has been buried deep within Chen Mo's heart has finally been answered.
His strength is unknown, as he gets stronger with stronger opponents. The real reason is the difference between physical and qi realm. His qi realm is now at the peak of the fourth level, half a step away from the third level. However, he has no idea about his physical realm.
Today, he finally received the answer.
Second level.
The body's physical second-level blood qi circulation and wound healing can be considered invincible to a certain extent, somewhat similar to Jiang Dongli's absolute defense.
The difference is that the wounds on him are real and hurt.
However, the healing of the wounds is fast, and the pain subsides quickly as well.
Even when faced with fatal injuries, he can stay alive for a short period of time as long as he doesn't continue to suffer from fatal injuries. With his terrifying self-healing ability, if there's no continuous fatal injury, it can be said to have the effect of reviving the dead.
Just like what happened just now.
Just like that. The others thought he was dead, and it's not wrong, he really did go to the gates of death.
If Qiu Qing Shan had struck a killing blow just now, he would have no chance of survival.
"Second level... Is that really the limit of my physical body?"
Chen Mo opened his eyes and could still feel another force within him that had not been fully unleashed. Perhaps it was because his qi realm had not kept up with the improvement of his blood qi, so his physical realm could only advance to this level.
"It seems that the chess players on the chessboard spent a lot of effort over the past three hundred years to make me face Zhang Tianlin..."
Chen Mo chuckled bitterly, and just as he was thinking, he encountered Mu Qiuge's plea-filled gaze.
