"Boom! Crash!" Mo Wuji's worries finally became reality. The Thunder Valley where he was located was blasted open. The canyon walls on both sides collapsed one after another, and amidst this continuous collapse, his cave dwelling naturally could not escape.

As for the defensive array he had set up, it was like a joke in the face of such a powerful Yuan energy bombardment, utterly vulnerable.

Mo Wuji, covered in dust, rushed out and landed on the edge of a pit outside the Thunder Valley.

Before the four could speak, Mo Wuji waved his hand and said, "You guys continue, I'm just passing by..." As he spoke, Mo Wuji retreated unobtrusively.

Mo Wuji's sudden appearance startled the four who were fighting. However, when they saw that Mo Wuji had no spiritual fluctuations around him and looked unbelievably young, the short, stout man and the man with the coffin lid seemed to see air. They completely ignored him and continued to bombard the black-veiled woman and Qi Laoshi.

Qi Laoshi and the black-veiled woman were overjoyed. They had been searching for Mo Wuji and didn't expect him to be hiding in a Thunder Valley.

If they hadn't been intercepted and forced into a fierce battle, they might not have been able to find this cunning kid even if they turned the Thunder Mist Forest upside down. Qi Laoshi sneered inwardly, *hitting the road to buy soy sauce*, huh? Even if you were to buy kerosene today, you won't be able to escape.

Now that Mo Wuji had appeared, Qi Laoshi and the black-veiled woman no longer intended to fight and retreat. They exchanged a glance and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Immediately, their attacks became even faster and fiercer, even carrying desperate moves.

Mo Wuji knew that Qi Laoshi and the black-veiled woman were in the same group, and the other two men were in another group. He estimated that the other two were cultivators from outside the region.

With the strength of these four, no matter who won, he, a mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, would surely die.

Mo Wuji quietly retreated, needing to escape this battlefield before the four could determine a victor. He regretted not wearing a mask during his closed-door cultivation, allowing Qi Laoshi to recognize him.

One zhang, two zhang...

Mo Wuji retreated while carefully staying alert. He had made up his mind that once he retreated five zhang, he would turn around and flee.

Three zhang... four zhang...

A cold aura suddenly rushed towards him, and Mo Wuji's whole body seemed to be frozen, unable to move. He really wanted to take out the Heavenly Mechanism Staff to block it, but unfortunately, his strength was too weak.

"Pfft!" A long spear pierced through Mo Wuji's shoulder socket, directly pinning Mo Wuji to the ground.

Qi Laoshi, that bastard, is indeed treacherous. Mo Wuji was furious in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, Qi Laoshi was facing away from him. Mo Wuji really wanted to give Qi Laoshi a bolt of lightning from the sky, so that the short, stout man could take the opportunity to kill Qi Laoshi. Unfortunately, this was just wishful thinking. If Qi Laoshi was killed, he wouldn't be any better off.

Mo Wuji slowly got up, simultaneously gritting his teeth to pull out the long spear stuck in his shoulder socket and swallowing a few pills. He knew that as long as he didn't leave, Qi Laoshi wouldn't attack.

Sure enough, seeing that Mo Wuji didn't leave, Qi Laoshi also became 'honest' and didn't attack Mo Wuji again. However, the iron hammer in his hand became even faster and fiercer in his attacks against the short, stout man.

"Ah..." Just as Mo Wuji was thinking about how to escape, a shrill scream came. Mo Wuji subconsciously looked over, and the woman was entangled by dozens of faint glowing threads, and traces of blood seeped out from her body.

It was clear that if this woman couldn't break these threads, she would likely be torn into several pieces.

Qi Laoshi immediately became anxious, and the iron hammer in his hand turned into countless huge hammer shadows, bombarding the short, stout man. From his appearance, it seemed that he wanted to force the short, stout man back and then go save the woman.

The short, stout man obviously also knew that the four-way battle had reached a critical moment, so he also frantically used the iron ball to bombard Qi Laoshi, not letting Qi Laoshi leave for even half a step. Every time his iron ball was launched, it carried a black hole-like devouring power. Faced with this kind of power, Qi Laoshi couldn't spare any attention.

Seeing that Qi Laoshi was unable to help, Mo Wuji's gaze shifted from Qi Laoshi to the woman. The woman was wrapped in countless tiny threads, stained with blood. At the places where the threads were tied, blood continued to seep out. Not only that, but the woman's eyes were also extremely frightened...

Mo Wuji then focused his gaze back on Qi Laoshi, wanting to see how Qi Laoshi would save this woman. Once this woman was killed, Qi Laoshi would surely die alone.

Soon, Mo Wuji discovered something was wrong. Qi Laoshi was anxious, but his anxiety was only on the surface. In fact, his methods of fighting the short, stout man hadn't weakened at all, nor was he impatient. More importantly, Mo Wuji didn't see any anxious or panicked expressions in Qi Laoshi's eyes.

This woman is in danger, so why are Qi Laoshi's eyes and actions inconsistent? Something's wrong, this woman is a trickster.

After figuring this out, Mo Wuji once again focused his gaze on the woman. The woman was indeed flustered and anxious, and she appeared completely genuine.

In this situation, Mo Wuji really couldn't figure out what this woman was relying on to turn the tables. Both of the woman's hands were tied up by fine threads, so could she still use her divine sense to attack her opponent? That coffin lid man was clearly not easy to deal with either. Mo Wuji estimated that she wouldn't be able to do anything to him with a simple divine sense attack or a divine sense-controlled magical weapon attack.

"Pfft!" Several more bursts of blood mist splattered from the woman's body, and the woman seemed to be on her last breath.

At this time, Mo Wuji instead became more certain that his judgment was not wrong, and that the woman had a backup plan. He suddenly took out the Heavenly Mechanism Staff and charged into the battlefield, slamming it towards the woman's neck.

Retreating means death, and not retreating also means death, so he might as well take a gamble. This might be his only chance, so how could he miss it?

The moment Mo Wuji made his move, a hand claw suddenly and swiftly extended from the woman's abdomen. This hand claw was like a shadow, tearing through the spatial distance between her and the coffin lid man, and in the shortest amount of time, it ripped open the coffin lid man's chest. A bloody heart was directly pulled out by this claw, and the heart seemed to still be beating.

All of the coffin lid man's movements froze. He stared blankly down at his empty chest, seemingly not understanding what had happened.

"Bang! Crack!" At the instant the woman suddenly ripped out the coffin lid man's heart, Mo Wuji's Heavenly Mechanism Staff slammed into the woman's neck.

The woman was already bound by the coffin lid man's fine threads and seriously injured, so at this moment, when Mo Wuji slammed the staff into her neck, her neck was immediately broken, with only a layer of skin still connecting it. No matter how strong she was, she couldn't have cultivated her neck to be as hard as steel.

If she wasn't injured, she could have blocked Mo Wuji's staff with Yuan energy. But now, she could only be inexplicably killed by Mo Wuji's staff.

"Bang! Bang!" With two consecutive sounds, the coffin lid man and the woman fell to the ground simultaneously.

The timing was perfect, Mo Wuji secretly rejoiced. If he had been even a little bit late with this staff strike, he might not have hit the woman, and if he had been a little bit earlier, it might not have caused any damage to the coffin lid man. Neither of these situations was what he wanted. The fact that this staff strike had caused both of them to suffer was exactly the effect he wanted.

The sudden change stunned Qi Laoshi and the short, stout man. Qi Laoshi naturally knew the woman's methods, but the only thing he hadn't expected was that Mo Wuji would dare to launch a sneak attack at this time.

The short, stout man was also stunned. Not only had he not expected that a small ant like Mo Wuji would dare to suddenly attack a strong cultivator, but he also hadn't expected that a hand claw would suddenly extend from the woman's abdomen. Immediately, he felt a wave of lingering fear. If Mo Wuji hadn't launched a sneak attack, after the woman had killed his companion, she would have joined forces with his current opponent to deal with him alone, and no matter how strong he was, he wouldn't have been able to hold on, and he would have most likely died from that inexplicable claw.

Seeing that the two had died together, Mo Wuji immediately shouted loudly, "What about the Hundred Sect Alliance? The Thunder Mist Forest is now our territory! How dare you come to our territory, old thing, you're tired of living!"

"Lord, let me see if this senior can still be saved..." As he spoke, Mo Wuji had already taken out several fragrant healing pills and stuffed them into the coffin lid man's mouth. Then, he carefully picked up this coffin lid cultivator, seemingly wanting to move him to the side to heal him.

The reason Mo Wuji did this was to prevent Qi Laoshi from attacking him again. Now that he had shown that he was with the short, stout man's group, even if Qi Laoshi wanted to attack, the short, stout man would stop him.

Mo Wuji's series of actions further convinced the short, stout man that Mo Wuji was not a cultivator from the Lost Continent, but had come from the Floating Ruo Planet with him.

Mo Wuji had predicted correctly. At the same time that he launched a sneak attack and killed the woman, Qi Laoshi once again raised his hand and launched a ray of light.

However, this time the short, stout man didn't stand idly by. He also threw out a ray of light to block Qi Laoshi's light that was attacking Mo Wuji, and at the same time, the iron ball continued to turn into a black hole, engulfing Qi Laoshi.

The first time Qi Laoshi attacked Mo Wuji, the short, stout man had not seized the opportunity, but this time Qi Laoshi was naturally not so lucky. Just one sneak attack had caused the evenly matched two to become Qi Laoshi standing at a disadvantage.

Even if Qi Laoshi wanted to kill Mo Wuji, he had no choice but to deal with the short, stout man's frantic killing moves.

At the same time that Mo Wuji picked up the coffin lid man, he saw the ring on the woman's hand. Without hesitation, he took off the ring from the woman's hand, and then carefully retreated to the side and put down the coffin lid man.

Knowing that the coffin lid man was only half-alive and about to die, Mo Wuji once again took out several fragrant pills and stuffed them into his mouth, saying with grief and indignation in his tone, "Senior, you must hold on, you must hold on, we can't be without you..."

As he spoke, Mo Wuji had already shielded the short, stout man's gaze and taken off the ring from the coffin lid man's hand.

"That's right, there's a spiritual herb in the Thunder Mist Forest called Heart-Protecting Flower. Senior, you must hold on, I'll go help you find the Heart-Protecting Flower..."

After saying this, Mo Wuji turned around and quickly rushed into the Thunder Mist Forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye. He didn't give the short, stout man any time to react.

Only now did the short, stout man realize that something was wrong. Because Mo Wuji hadn't helped put the dug-out heart back in when he was saving his companion earlier. In that case, even if there was a Heart-Protecting Flower, what good would it do? But Mo Wuji had escaped too quickly, and he was entangled by Qi Laoshi and couldn't make a move.

"Idiot, barbaric thing..." Seeing Mo Wuji escape, Qi Laoshi frantically attacked the short, stout man. He knew much more about Mo Wuji's background than the short, stout man did. If Mo Wuji really found a Heart-Protecting Flower and came back, then he would be willing to commit suicide immediately.

The short, stout man was enraged by Qi Laoshi's attack, and he didn't bother to think about what Mo Wuji was up to. The iron ball in his hand also wildly swept up the murderous aura of the sky and enveloped Qi Laoshi.
