Zhao Hu

    Chen Mo's soft exclamation caused the beastman holding the ancient broadsword to stop his actions. Array Winds swept away Chen Mo's disordered hair.

    The big broadsword hung in front of Chen Mo, and the ground around him cracked, but he remained unscathed.

    The beastman's red eyes trembled slightly, and he was very familiar with the sound, so familiar that he dared not move a muscle.

    "What's going on, what's going on?"

    Zhao Kongsington was instantly startled, looking at the beastman who was still, he shouted loudly: "Quickly kill him, it is he who killed your sister. Is it that you don't want to take revenge for your sister?"

    The beastman stared at Chen Mo's blood-red face, his right hand, holding the sword, trembled slightly, as if he wanted to take action to avenge his sister. However, reason told him he could not.

    Chen Mo nodded and smiled contentedly, then raised his hands to wipe away the blood stains and dust on his face. "Do you remember who I am?"

    Although he couldn't wipe it all clean, anyone who knew him well would immediately recognize his identity with a single glance.

    Clank

    The ancient broadsword fell with a clang, tears filled his eyes, and the beastman let out a scream before kneeling down heavily. His throat rolled as if he had lost his sanity, but in that moment, his mind became clear. His voice also became audible.

    "Master"

    The beastman let out a despairing howl, and the clear, distinct call echoed through the heavens and the earth.

    Zhao Kongsington's triumphant smile suddenly stopped, and he couldn't believe what he saw before him. "Impossible, impossible. He, he isn't insane? His heart isn't only his sister......"

    At that moment, a sense of fear began to spread from the bottom of Zhao Kongsington's heart.

    "After so many years apart, I didn't expect you to end up in such a plight. It's all my fault."

    Chen Mo sighed regretfully.

    In the dungeon, he recognized the girl's identity as Zhao Qingling, the younger sister of Zhao family brother and sister he saved 300 years ago, just because she called him 'master'.

    The lively girl from before had not many interactions with him, but she had left a deep impression. What he hadn't expected, however, was that over the three centuries, the siblings had fallen into such a sorry state.

    "Master, master......"

    As Zhao Hu had become a beast, his animal nature far exceeded his human nature. If it weren't for the last vestige of concern for his sister in his mind, he might as well have been just another mindless beast.

    It was precisely because of that sliver of reason that he recognized Chen Mo.

    In this moment, Zhao Hu, who had been on tenterhooks for hundreds of years, finally let down his guard and cried like a child, calling out "master" repeatedly.

    As if the appearance of the master could bring him relief.

    "How could this be? How could this be?"

    Zhao Kongsington's breathing became shallow, and he still didn't give up, shouting: "Zhao Hu, do you forget? It was him who killed your beloved sister. It was him! Why don't you seek revenge?"

    Chen Mo's face showed neither joy nor sorrow. He looked at Zhao Kongsington from a distance and said indifferently, "Zhao Hu, kill him".

    Zhao Hu stopped crying, picked up the ancient broadsword from the ground, turned around without hesitation, and said, "Yes, master."

    As soon as the words fell, Zhao Hu rushed out.

    There was no need for thought; all he had to do was follow the master's instructions.

    "Zhao Hu, you..."

    Zhao Kongsington immediately panicked and summoned his long sword to engage in a fight with Zhao Hu.

    However, in the previous battle, Zhao Kunsong and Lu Yong had teamed up to consume a lot of his spiritual energy and inflict various injuries. Even at the peak of his power, he could not stand a chance against Zhao Hu. Now, in his current state, it was even less likely.

    "Haha, that's right, that's definitely Chen Mo."

    "Ha ha, the task assigned by the master can be completed today."

    "I never thought that the beast would actually listen to his orders. It's surprising. I thought we wouldn't have to intervene."

    "Make haste, the beast is incredibly strong. Even if we team up, we will suffer losses against him. Don't give him a chance to react."

    "You're right. Let's start..."

    Hidden in the corner of the square, waiting for the right opportunity to strike, the assassins were eager to make their move. They wanted to attack while Chen Mo was injured and Zhao Hu was occupied with dealing with Zhao Kunsong.

    However, before they could make their move, one of them suddenly let out a terrible scream, followed by spurts of blood that stained the black robes of several individuals.

    The few immediately turned to look behind them. They saw a girl in a water blue long dress, who had appeared suddenly and was smiling at them. There were two dimples on her face that looked as if they were about to say "cute." However, this seemingly cute girl had killed one of them without warning.

    Cute turned into terrifying.

    "You, who are you?"

    The leader of the black robes unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his face showed a terrified expression instantaneously.

    "You have no need to know my identity after death."

    The girl chuckled, waving her long sword, and in no time, the few of them were all decapitated.

    They didn't even have a chance to make a counterattack, and they were all without breath.

    "We can't let you kill him, or I won't be able to explain it to the Master."

    The girl smiled mischievously, she sheathed her long sword, paused a step, and a brilliant flash of blue light occurred. Her figure vanished instantly.

    "Huh?"

    The flashing blue light in the distance startled Chen Mo, causing him to pause. He then turned to look in the direction where the blue light disappeared and his eyes suddenly grew more solemn. He summoned his giant sword and quickly ran over.

    When he arrived at the secret corner, there were no living people to be seen; only a few bodies that were still warm.

    "This is..."

    Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and scrutinized the bodies on the ground with a serious expression. He examined the space rings on the hands of the few, and found the emblem of Yingge within them.

    "These are men from Zhang Tianlin's group, sent to assassinate me? But... who killed them?"

    Chen Mo was puzzled. He could faintly guess that these people were probably sent by Zhang Tianlin to kill him. They had been hiding in this corner and could have secretly killed him at any time, but...

    Bangbangbang

    The heavy footsteps grew louder, and Zhao Hu's large figure appeared in front of Chen Mo, holding the ancient broadsword in one hand and Zhao Kongsong's severed head in the other, thrusting it into his face.

    "Master, the people have been killed."

    Zhao Hu, with a simple smile of merit, rushed to Chen Mo and presented himself.

    "Good."

    Chen Mo smiled and nodded, "Throw away the head, it's not needed... oh yeah, what about Qingling?"

    Zhao Hu threw away the head in his hand. Upon hearing the "Qingling" from Chen Mo's mouth, his red eyes trembled slightly.

    Just now, he saw Zhao Qingling clearly with fatal injuries, gasping for breath, and could die at any moment. It was only then that he went crazy. Now, upon hearing Chen Mo mention her name, a sense of bitterness filled his heart.

    Since Chen Mo's death, he had cut off ties with his father who loved gambling. His sick mother, who had accompanied them for many years, also died in the mountains after long illness.

    In the world today, Zhao Hu's only remaining relative is his sister.

    "Don't worry, it was Qingling who saved me from those guys from the Zhao family. Although, I've already given her a spiritual pill, so I think she should be okay."

    Chen Mo comforted.

    At this moment, a crack in the ground opened, and Chu Ruomeng emerged with Zhao Qingling in her arms. The once dirtied girl had regained consciousness and managed to smile slightly.

    "Master"

    "Big brother"
