Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 76: Unafraid of the Bloody Storm
"'Wanqi Ku'?" Not only Mo Wutian, but all the Shamo people present gasped when they heard this name. The three uncles all showed disbelief, and Wu Su couldn't help but exclaimed: "Yao Ji, you are crazy, you actually used that forbidden technique?!"
Mo Yi had long known that Gong Lili was prone to impulsive behavior, reckless in her actions. He knew something was amiss from the tone of their voices. He stepped forward, grabbed her shoulders, and asked anxiously with a burning gaze, "Lili?! What on earth did you do? What's going on with 'Wanqiku'?"
Ping Lili pushed Mo Yi away guiltily and turned her head away, not daring to look into his eyes, because she knew Mo Yi would be angry. It was ridiculous that she was not even afraid of the seemingly strongest man in the Xu Ming Realm, but she did not have the courage to face Mo Yi's anger.
'Wanqi Ku' is a long-lost forbidden technique of Sha Mo. Mo Yi and other Nayu people naturally don't know how powerful it is. However, Mo Wutan does know. He narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly : "Hmph, girl, you are not simple. You want to threaten me?"
"That's right, it's a threat, a naked threat, and you must accept this threat. You are so knowledgeable, you should have heard of this thing. This is a long-lost forbidden technique of my Sha Mo clan, and it is the supreme poison technique in the world. In comparison, the poisons of the Kong Ming clan are just trifles and not worth mentioning. Once this poison is planted, the fate of the poisoner and the poisoned will be linked together. The one who casts the poison will die, and the one who is poisoned will also die. The one who casts the poison will be injured, and the one who is poisoned will suffer double the damage." Ignoring the increasingly gloomy expression on Mo Wuotan's face, Ying Lili spoke to himself, and his tone was so calm, as if he was telling someone else's story.
As if to verify Mo Wutian's ability, she suddenly raised her arm and gently slashed across the cold blade of the Dragon Slashing Roar in Mo Yi's hand behind her. As her blood dripped onto the ground, Mo Wutian's hand, which had been tightly gripping the emerald green sword, couldn't help but tremble. Sure enough, without any warning, crimson blood flowed down his black cuffs...
Those Nayu people who had become more murderous after seeing Mo Wutan were now stunned. No one would have thought that such a seemingly weak little girl could plot against their clan leader and succeed!
Even Mo Yi was astonished. After every separation, she always gave him the feeling of being reborn. She was always quietly and rapidly growing in places he couldn't see. This girl, strong and stubborn, seemed to contain endless power in her small body. For no reason, he felt a little sad.
He knew she had suffered a lot for him, yet she had never complained, simply facing it all so freely and alone. How could he not love such a woman? Compared to the sacrifices she had made for him, turning against his father and breaking off relations with his clan for her, what did that mean?
Between him and her, he always owes her more.
But, for some reason, a faint sense of unease flashed through his heart, as if she would do something crazy and make him lose her forever again...
The most shocked person at this moment was Mo Wutian, one of the parties involved. He had never imagined that this girl could possess such skills! He had underestimated her before! If that person had said so, this girl would become a serious threat in the future if she wasn't eliminated now! Mo Wutian's brows twitched slightly...
What made Mo Wutan most curious was when exactly this girl had planted the "Wanqi Ku" on him. It seemed that he and her had only had one confrontation just now, when she tried to block his sword.
But who was Mo Wutian? A master on the verge of breaking through the Void! His Tiangang Sword Zhi had been refined to the ninth level of perfection. Even blocking his sword, let alone taking advantage of the opportunity to place a curse on him, would have been an extraordinary feat. This girl not only managed to survive his sword, but even took the opportunity to place a curse on him. What a realm of power!
It is true that the disciple surpasses the master, and the new generation pushes the old generation forward!
Mo Wutan suddenly felt regretful about his previous decision. Putting aside his current position, this girl was indeed a talent. If she really married Yi'er, it would be a great help to him, Na Yu.
However, thinking of what that person said, Mo Wuotian still felt a little hesitant.
His expression grew increasingly gloomy, and his voice grew colder and colder. "Girl, don't try to scare me, an old man! I'm afraid this 'Wanqi Ku' isn't that easy to use. If I remember correctly, a wizard who casts a Gu like 'Wanqi Ku' will have his entire cultivation destroyed by the backlash. Now, you're just a cripple!"
With these words, Mo Yi's uneasiness was finally confirmed. As expected, he knew she would do something reckless! Using her own cultivation and life to trade with her father's life, nonsense! Truly nonsense! Was Sha Mo really worth sacrificing to this extent?!
His brows furrowed even deeper: "Lili!" His tone became extremely unfriendly. He didn't know whether he was angry or heartbroken. The words that were about to come out of his mouth were stopped by her suddenly raised hand.
"So what if I'm a cripple? I think it's worth exchanging my cultivation and my life for the safety of the Shamo clan. Besides, our fates are now one. If I die today, you will be buried with me. This bargaining chip is enough for me."
"Do you think I will fall for this threat?" Mo Wutan sneered.
"Senior Mo, you naturally won't fall for this threat, but a master like you knows how to weigh the pros and cons. Acting on impulse would be the act of a reckless person, and I believe you are definitely not a reckless person. Besides..." She deliberately dragged out the last part of her voice, "I'm just an unknown, newly appointed Chief Wizard of the Shamo Clan. If I die, I die. But you, after all, are the head of a dignified clan and a great hero of our time. If you were to go to hell with me, I'm afraid it would be a bit of a waste."
As Ying Lili said this, her cold voice echoed throughout the entire temple, causing the Nayu people to shudder in their hearts. It seemed that no one had expected that this seemingly petite woman would have such means!
Being able to keep his life under Mo Wutian's sword was already a miracle. He was even able to seize that tiny moment to poison Mo Wutian, and use his own cultivation and life to exchange his life for the life of Mo Wutian, the patriarch of the Nayu tribe and the master who was on the verge of breaking through the void, in exchange for the safety of the Shamo clan!
What kind of mind and courage is this?
What kind of terrifying existence will such a mind become in the future?
If Mo Wutian hadn't been bewitched by her, the Nayu people would have rushed over and wiped her out. At this moment, all the Nayu people looked at Mo Wutian, waiting for the clan leader's order.
The faces of the remnants of the Namoji tribe had already revealed a look of contempt. This woman was indeed worthy of being the reincarnation of that Jianyi. She was equally cunning and even the leader of the Nayu tribe, Mo Wutan, could be calculated by her.
However, hearing the news that she had lost all her cultivation, he still felt secretly delighted. It seemed that the opportunity for revenge had come. He had just been entangled by the three old guys of the Shamo clan and had never had a chance to take action. Now, he had really gotten a great bargain.
However, due to the current situation, he did not dare to move. Before Mo Wutan and Mo Yi appeared, he was the mastermind behind this elimination. However, after the arrival of the evil father and son, everything here was no longer under his control.
However, Wu Su and the three Shamo elders had mixed feelings in their hearts.
No one knew how Gong Lili had learned this forbidden technique, including the four of them. They had only seen this kind of witchcraft mentioned in some ancient books of Sha Mo. Perhaps Sha Mo had records about "Wanqi Ku" in the past, but those books disappeared inexplicably five hundred years ago.
No one had expected that the willful little girl that day would go to such lengths for Sha Mo, and would even be willing to sacrifice her cultivation and life in exchange for Sha Mo's safety . Especially Wu Su, a sour feeling surged in his heart. At that moment, he actually hoped that she could be a little selfish and think more about himself. He didn't want to see the tragedy of five hundred years ago repeat itself, and didn't want to see her disappear in front of him again.
He hurried over to her side and scolded her in a low voice: "Silly girl, you don't need to do this!"
Ping Lili didn't turn around, but just looked up at Mo Wutian steadily: "Senior, I wonder what you think?"
Mo Wutan suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly, making the whole temple frightened. No one knew what medicine was in the gourd of the Nayu tribe leader. Only Mo Yi, at that moment, the veins in his hand holding Zhanlongyin burst. In fact, Mo Yi had guessed his father's decision long ago before he came here.
Mo Yi sighed helplessly and closed his eyes slightly. It seemed that it really had to come to that point...
As expected, just as Mo Yi had predicted, Mo Wutian suddenly shouted angrily, "People of the Nayu clan, listen up! Anyone who is a member of the Shamo clan will be killed without mercy today!"
Kill without mercy!!!
This resounding sentence boomed in the temple like thunder from the sky. It seemed that no one had expected that Mo Wutan was so stubborn and old-fashioned that he would rather die with Ying Lili than let Sha Mo Ren go!
"Kill without mercy?" Ying Lili murmured, and her originally clear golden brown eyes gradually turned a hint of blood red.
At this moment, Mo Yi's voice suddenly interrupted: "Wait!" His voice suddenly became high-pitched: "Father, the current leader of the Nayu tribe is not you, but me!"
