Chapter 200: Sacrificing Life to Save Someone
Standing outside the Thunder Swamp, Mo Wuji sat down on the spot, seizing the time to recover his strength. It wasn't that he didn't want to leave immediately, but that he had overdrawn himself too much. If he left right away, he wouldn't be able to move quickly.
This area of Thunder Mist Forest had been destroyed. After he rested a little, he would leave this place quickly and then risk taking out his flying car.
Half an incense stick later, just as Mo Wuji was about to stand up, he suddenly heard a faint cracking sound. He quickly moved aside and looked back.
An activated Flame Talisman was hurtling towards him. Mo Wuji quickly took a step out, dodging the talisman as fast as he could.
"Boom!" The Flame Talisman exploded, and Mo Wuji was caught by the after-fire, his tattered clothes and hair catching fire.
Extinguishing the flames on his body, Mo Wuji finally saw clearly the guy who had ambushed him. This guy's face was covered in soot, even blacker than his current disguised face, and he was panting heavily. At this moment, this guy was obviously seriously injured. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have been hit in the chest and legs by a wind blade from a demon beast.
Seeing that this guy was still staring at him and panting, Mo Wuji didn't hesitate to grab his Heavenly Machine Staff and smash it down.
Although the cultivator who ambushed Mo Wuji couldn't move at all, he could still barely raise his hand to block Mo Wuji's Heavenly Machine Staff when it came down.
"Bang!" A dull sound came, and the huge force sent Mo Wuji flying back along with his staff.
While Mo Wuji was still in the air, a thunderbolt suddenly struck down. This person was so seriously injured, yet he could easily knock him away, his cultivation was at least in the late stage of the Core Formation Realm.
Seeing Mo Wuji's magic gesture, the surrounding space began to fluctuate. A look of despair appeared in the black-faced cultivator's eyes. He couldn't move, so no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't block Mo Wuji's thunderbolt. Moreover, when he knocked Mo Wuji away just now, his arm was also broken by Mo Wuji's strike.
"Boom!" A thunderclap sounded, blasting a bloody hole in the black-faced cultivator's chest.
Mo Wuji walked over with lingering fear and took the storage bag from his body.
After swallowing two more healing pills, Mo Wuji decided to leave now.
"Boom!" Two more Yuan Qi collision explosions came. Before Mo Wuji could react, a figure pounced over.
Mo Wuji quickly dodged, preparing to strike the newcomer with a thunderbolt from the void. However, when he saw clearly who it was, he immediately abandoned this idea.
He recognized the person who came, it was Shi Jinwen, the senior sister of Yan'er from the Pill Pagoda. Shi Jinwen obviously wasn't attacking him, but was sent flying over by her opponent.
Sure enough, before Shi Jinwen could land on the ground, another figure pounced towards Shi Jinwen. This was a man with a hooked nose, definitely a foreign cultivator.
Mo Wuji had fought with hundreds of foreign cultivators for so long that he had some understanding of them. The cultivation methods of foreign cultivators seemed to be somewhat different from theirs, and the flow of spiritual rhythm around them when they fought was also quite different.
Although this hooked-nose man's strength was not as good as that of the Dwarf Winter Melon and Coffin Lid, it was much stronger than the foreign cultivators he had fought before. When he pounced towards Shi Jinwen, the flow of spiritual rhythm around him was even more obvious.
Just as the foreign cultivator's magic weapon was about to entangle Shi Jinwen, Shi Jinwen had already stood firm and raised a pill cauldron. The pill cauldron collided with the foreign cultivator's magic weapon, stirring up a sky-full of Yuan Qi fluctuations. The middle of the two's battle was like being plowed over by a huge plow, a complete mess.
This kind of battle was not something he could interfere with, he had to leave quickly. Just as Mo Wuji was about to leave, he heard Yan'er's voice.
Mo Wuji's heart tensed, and he immediately saw Yan'er and two other women rushing over. Mo Wuji was now only in the Transcending Mortality Realm, and he could tell at a glance that these three people were all in the Transcending Mortality Realm. With this kind of strength, even if they wanted to help Shi Jinwen, it would be useless.
Seeing Yan'er coming, Shi Jinwen's face changed. Mo Wuji, who originally wanted to leave immediately, rushed towards Yan'er without even thinking.
The hooked-nose man would definitely know that Yan'er's relationship with Shi Jinwen was extraordinary unless he was an idiot. If he was the hooked-nose man, he would not hesitate to launch a sneak attack on Yan'er at this moment, taking the opportunity to kill Yan'er.
Yan'er's cultivation was worlds apart from the hooked-nose man's. As long as the hooked-nose man made a slight move against Yan'er, Yan'er would definitely not be able to dodge. Killing Yan'er would have no impact on him, but it would definitely have a big impact on Shi Jinwen.
Yan'er was obviously lacking in combat experience. Her desire to help Shi Jinwen was understandable, but with her strength, without long-range attack magic, she really couldn't help Shi Jinwen.
Mo Wuji guessed correctly. Almost at the same time that Yan'er appeared, a black light shot towards Yan'er.
At this moment, Yan'er was like Mo Wuji who had been plotted against by Qi Laoshi, all the Qi around her was locked, and her movements became extremely slow. Even if Shi Jinwen wanted to save Yan'er, it was too late.
In her grief and anger, Shi Jinwen fully activated the pill cauldron and smashed it towards the hooked-nose man, while grabbing several pills and blasting them towards the hooked-nose man.
Using pills to fight the enemy, Mo Wuji had never seen it before, but he no longer had the energy to observe the matter of using pills to fight the enemy.
At the moment when the black light arrived, Mo Wuji also arrived at Yan'er's side. While pulling Yan'er away, his Heavenly Machine Staff slammed towards the black light.
"Boom!" Mo Wuji's Heavenly Machine Staff was blasted away, and the black light exploded into several thin rays, only slowing down and deviating a little, directly piercing through Mo Wuji's chest.
This black light was originally intended to pierce through Yan'er's throat, but because Mo Wuji arrived in time and pushed Yan'er away, and because Mo Wuji was taller than Yan'er, this black light did not pierce through Mo Wuji's throat, but only pierced through his chest.
A feeling of Yuan Qi's scorching heat instantly spread throughout Mo Wuji's body. At this moment, Mo Wuji felt as if he had been scalded by boiling water, his whole body turning blackish-red.
A tiny blood hole appeared in Mo Wuji's chest, but no blood came out of the wound, instead, wisps of mist appeared.
"Bang!" Mo Wuji flew backwards for several feet and crashed into a huge rock, only then was he stopped.
The whole process happened almost in an instant. It wasn't until Mo Wuji was blasted away that Yan'er realized that if someone hadn't risked their life to save her just now, she would have lost her life.
Seeing that Mo Wuji had risked his life to save Yan'er, the hooked-nose man knew that there was no chance anymore. The sneak attack just now had failed to kill Yan'er, which had reversed the offensive and defensive positions between him and Shi Jinwen.
"I have healing pills here..." Yan'er finally reacted and quickly came to Mo Wuji's side, taking out a pill and handing it to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji waved his hand and struggled to take out several pills from his bosom and swallowed them. Yan'er's healing pills were not as good as his, so he naturally had to take his own pills.
"You step aside..." Mo Wuji, who was struggling to stand up, said in a hoarse voice. He felt that the blood on his body was dry at this moment.
Seeing that Yan'er was fine, Shi Jinwen attacked the hooked-nose man even more desperately.
Mo Wuji staggered to his Heavenly Machine Staff and grabbed it. He didn't leave immediately. This hooked-nose man wanted to kill Yan'er and made him suffer even more injuries. If his strike hadn't caused the black light to deviate a little, he would have lost his life. He really couldn't accept not taking revenge.
"Boom boom boom!" The hooked-nose man's strength might be a little stronger than Shi Jinwen's, but it was also limited. The two were fighting fiercely, with sand and stones flying everywhere, in a chaotic mess.
At this moment, Yan'er and the other two women couldn't even see the positions of the two clearly, let alone interfere.
However, Mo Wuji could clearly see the offensive and defensive transitions of the two. Mo Wuji admired Shi Jinwen's fighting style. She fought regardless of the outcome, but she had to fight desperately. Shi Jinwen was fighting desperately now.
At this moment, Shi Jinwen was covered in scars, and two blood holes almost directly pierced through her heart and throat. Even so, she was still getting more and more crazy under her hands.
The hooked-nose man was not any better off. Shi Jinwen didn't know what she used to blow open a small half of his neck, a bloody mess. Even his left waist was blasted out with a huge blood hole, and the blood hadn't stopped yet.
Although the two were still fighting desperately, Mo Wuji knew that the battle between the two was coming to an end. The result was likely to be Shi Jinwen's death and the hooked-nose man's serious injuries.
Mo Wuji subconsciously moved forward a few steps. At this moment, his divine sense saw the hooked-nose man offering a large net. Did this guy want to trap Shi Jinwen?
Shi Jinwen was now at a disadvantage from being slightly dominant before, but Mo Wuji believed that this woman would not be so stupid.
Sure enough, at the same time that the big net was offered, Shi Jinwen's pill cauldron directly blasted out. The big net trapped the pill cauldron, but it did not trap Shi Jinwen. At the same time, Shi Jinwen once again smashed out several pills.
At the same time as Shi Jinwen's several pills were shot out, several black lights from the hooked-nose man were also shot out.
Two pills exploded on the hooked-nose man's body. Mo Wuji saw two clusters of blood light erupt from the hooked-nose man's body, and Shi Jinwen also had two more blood holes added to her body by the black light.
Shi Jinwen was like a madwoman, she didn't care about the injuries on her body at all and pounced towards the hooked-nose man again, while making several hand gestures.
Wave after wave of violent Yuan Qi blasted out, and the hooked-nose man had to retreat while fully resisting Shi Jinwen's final madness.
It was at this moment that the Heavenly Machine Staff in Mo Wuji's hand swung up and slammed towards the back of the hooked-nose man's head.
The hooked-nose man sneered, a mere ant dared to plot against him. Even if he and Shi Jinwen were fighting with all their strength, it was not something that an ant could plot against. His body was like a spring, directly twisting open. Obviously, Mo Wuji's Heavenly Machine Staff would definitely not hit him if it went down according to the original trajectory.
The hooked-nose man even accelerated his hand gestures, he wanted to force Shi Jinwen back, and then grab five holes in Mo Wuji's head. Shi Jinwen was at the end of her rope and was not worth worrying about.
But the next moment, the hooked-nose man couldn't laugh anymore. A terrifying lightning ball suddenly exploded on his waist where there was a blood hole. The violent Yuan Qi from Shi Jinwen's attack had caused the surrounding space to fluctuate violently, and he didn't even notice that a lightning ball had sneaked up to his side.
