Fen Qi casually uttered a sentence, and Qin Moyu was immediately met with a terrifying, overwhelming attack.
Even a strike from a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage might not be enough for a True Immortal Xuanjing to withstand unscathed.
Faced with absolute power, even the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire appears utterly insignificant.
54. Chapter Fifty-Four: Counterattack. At this moment, the hunter and the hunter...
Qin Moyu watched helplessly as Fen Qi's attack rushed towards him, but his retreat was blocked. He could only hold the unconscious Shen Yebai tightly, his mind in turmoil.
The moment Fenqi and the faceless man appeared, Qin Moyu knew that he might have fallen into a trap set by someone with ulterior motives. He didn't know what their purpose was, but what bothered him was that their goal had already been achieved.
actually……
He never intended to kill Shen Yebai.
Not only because of that inexplicable feeling, but also because he believed in Shen Yebai.
If the person who once said they would travel the world with her and gently stroked her long hair was lying, then there is no one in the world Qin Moyu can trust anymore.
That's why he coated the dagger with that poisonous herb.
The stall owner said it was a magical poisonous herb. If you rub the juice of the herb on a knife, the injured person will be poisoned and will tell you the truth no matter what you ask, and it won't kill them.
Ever since Qin Moyu learned that Mo Yuan was Shen Yebai, he had been planning to stab Shen Yebai with a dagger coated with poisonous herb juice, so that the stammering Shen Yebai would confess. Only then could he tell his master without shame that Shen Yebai would not do such a thing.
But even Qin Moyu didn't know why, the dagger that was supposed to stab the arm instead pierced straight through Shen Yebai's heart.
Qin Moyu knew that if it weren't her standing under the lightning, Shen Yebai would never have panicked like this, much less approached so unguardedly.
Is it really over...?
Qin Moyu bit her lip in frustration. Just at this critical moment, Fen Qi's attack was blocked by someone.
The person wore a long black dress with dark red embroidered patterns on the cuffs, and faint silver threads outlined a few clouds. With delicate features, the person exuded an air of authority.
"Fenqi, attacking a junior? You're getting more and more regressive as you get older. Aren't you ashamed?" The Demon Lord sneered, casually scattering Fenqi's attack with a wave of his hand.
"What I want to do is none of your business," Fen Qi said indifferently, glancing at the two people behind her. "Besides, how come I didn't know you were so enthusiastic?"
This statement was clearly a sarcastic remark directed at the Demon Lord. After all, she hadn't even cared about the Chen Sect since the Four Continents War, so how could she possibly intervene just because Fen Qi was "bullying" a junior?
Unexpectedly, the Demon Lord was not angry after hearing this. She remained expressionless, but her words were very firm: "I owe the Southern Kingdom's royal family a favor. If you insist on killing them, I don't mind stretching my muscles with you."
Upon hearing this, Fenqi narrowed his eyes.
He really wanted to kill the Demon Lord as well, but he also knew that with his current strength at the first level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, he was no match for the Demon Lord who was about to break through to the third level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.
Despite their reluctance, they had no choice but to abandon the plan of burning the incense.
"In that case, I won't keep you company any longer." Fen Qi gave a forced smile and turned to leave.
Unwilling to let his plan end so abruptly, the faceless man grabbed Fenqi's arm with such force that it seemed he wanted to crush him.
The Demon Lord then noticed the person wearing a bamboo hat next to Fen Qi. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he said, "I don't think I've seen this person before."
It was strange that even though such a grown man was standing right in front of him, the Demon Lord hadn't noticed him at all. He only realized there was someone there after the other person grabbed Fenqi.
Since breaking through to the Tribulation Transcending stage, whether she wanted to or not, her divine sense would subconsciously scan her surroundings. No matter how well the other party hid, she would be discovered. The fact that she ignored the faceless man made the Demon Lord keenly sense that something was wrong.
After being scrutinized by the Demon Lord, the faceless man regained some of his senses. He knew that after losing his authority over the Heavenly Dao, he must not let the Demon Lord discover what he had done before. He could only angrily let go of Fenqi's hand.
"Walk."
"The faceless man said in a low voice."
Fen Qi nodded and replied to the Demon Lord in a nonchalant tone, "Who He is is none of your concern, Demon Lord."
After saying that, Fenqi left without looking back.
Although the Demon Lord was eager to investigate, she did not stop the two from leaving. After all, she did not want to fight Fen Qi, who was in the Tribulation Transcending stage, unless absolutely necessary.
Although the other party hasn't made any breakthroughs in a long time, he has lived much longer than me. Who knows how many life-saving techniques he has? It's really not worth offending him for the sake of a favor.
With the issue of incineration resolved, it was now Qin Moyu and his companion's turn.
The Demon Lord moved a little further away, giving Zuo Shu and Qin Moyu enough space.
"Young master, you should let go."
Zuo Shu said meaningfully.
Qin Moyu's dark eyes were deep. He had always thought that Zuo Shu was Shen Yebai's subordinate, but seeing Zuo Shu's smiling and unsurprised appearance at this moment, he knew that she had probably already anticipated this situation: "Why?"
He couldn't understand why someone would scheme against him again and again when he was penniless.
"I'm sorry I can't explain right now, but if you really want to know the truth, why don't you come back to the Southern Kingdom with me?"
Zuo Shu could tell that Qin Moyu was not comfortable handing Shen Yebai over to her, so she simply dropped a bombshell: "Besides, even if you don't hand him over to me, Shen Yebai won't live past tomorrow."
Qin Moyu's heart tightened upon hearing this, and he subconsciously retorted, "Impossible! Although I was heavy-handed, how could I possibly..."
"It's Yugao."
Zuo Shu told Qin Moyu about the characteristics of Xi Yan and emphasized, "This is a rare herb with no antidote."
