Chapter Seventeen: Chen Mo Returns

  ……

  The attackers exchanged blows, with one punch and one kick, attacking He Lian Huo Wu from various angles. For a time, her surroundings were filled with gusts of wind from fists and palms, although the force was not very strong, it still restricted her advancing footsteps. Moreover, Xu Hao was waiting patiently on the side, occasionally interfering, waiting for He Lian Huo Wu to reveal a fatal weakness.

  That sharp-mouthed monkey over there saw this scene and was even more excited, shouting loudly and rolling around with even greater vigor, showing off his might with great relish.

  He Lian Huo's teeth were tightly clenched, and the strange flames in his eyes burned even more brightly. He disregarded everything and mobilized the Xuan Qi in his Dantian, desperately pouring it into his palms.

  A fiery red glow with a fierce color swept across the army, and with a swift and fierce sweep, it forced back several dog legs that were approaching, and took another step towards Chen Huan's direction.

  Those dog legs were like blood-sucking gadflies, swarming up again, patiently consuming He Lian Huo Wu's Xuan Qi, as if they had the upper hand, playing with He Lian Huo Wu.

  A few steps away, yet separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, every step is difficult.

  Her chest heaved violently, her delicate eyebrows also dyed with a faint pink color, and the flames burning on her slender body grew dimmer. By her ear, the heart-wrenching cry of the old lady made her anxious like a fire, thunderous anger uncontrollable, flames swirling around, one move of fierce wind and flame slapped out, hitting the chest of the dog leg in front.

  A dull thud, the fire met the air, and a burst of burning sound pierced through. The dog's leg suddenly spouted fresh blood, retreated repeatedly, and sat down on the ground with a thud.

  With a series of swift and fierce claps, the momentum was like a rainbow. He directly clashed palms with someone, scorching that person's palm to a charred black, sending them flying out, spitting blood, lying on the ground gasping for air, exhaling more than inhaling.

  The besiegers were stunned, shocked to the extreme, such a young girl, so fierce, her future prospects are simply boundless, what a pity that beauty is short-lived.

  Xu Hao's sinister smile appeared, the plan to withdraw from the cauldron was not bad, accurately calculating that He Lian Huo Wu would be distracted for his family, looking around, and being unable to cope. Like a maggot attached to bone, he followed closely behind He Lian Huo Wu's back. Slowly stirring up the mysterious energy, condensing it into his own right hand, his palm radiated golden light, an iron palm shadow gradually rising, like a deadly poisonous snake, stretching out its scarlet tongue, waiting for the opportunity.

  He Lian Huo Wu was originally the last of the strong crossbow, a sweetness in his throat, a bloody gas pouring into his mouth, still using all his strength. Rushing forward, a slant, drawing a beautiful arc, like a lotus flower spitting out tender and agile. A palm flew towards the pointed mouth monkey's cheek dog leg, hitting his mouth askew. One foot directly kicked another dog leg, "Finally rescued Big Brother." With a relaxed heart, he ignored the hidden crisis behind him.

  Xu Hao's gloomy eyes lit up, and at the right moment, he raised his palm high behind He Lian Huo Wu's back and slapped her small head. The accumulated momentum of the mysterious energy, combined with the perfect timing, struck He Lian Huo Wu, who was already at the end of her strength, and the outcome seemed to be sealed.

  Hu Lingping let out a terrified shriek, her eyes were filled with bloodshot, and she wished to die in his place.

  Time seemed to freeze in an instant.

  With a "slap" sound, a dark green stone slab whizzed in, spinning around in circles and landed precisely between Xu Hao's palm and He Lian Huo Wu's head.

  The crowd was stunned, mouths agape, staring in shock. The stone suddenly poked out half its head, its small eyes the size of soybeans blurry as if it had just woken up from a dream. Its beady eyes blinked dazedly, glanced at Xu Hao, and seemed to say "how dare you disturb my good sleep". With a weak "ptui", it spat a mouthful of saliva onto Xu Hao's face. But seemingly feeling the tense atmosphere, its head quickly withdrew with a "whoosh" sound, and fell to the ground with a thud.

  This turtle is obviously Xiao Ba, a pure-blooded descendant of the divine beast. Before the divine beast Xuan Turtle sent Chen Mo out with his great divine power, he passed on the innate divine power of Xiao Ba Xuan Turtle.

  Shrink the body, one of the divine powers. That weak saliva is also one of the divine powers of the mysterious turtle. If that old turtle were to use it, it would be able to easily destroy a city and kill countless lives. But Little Eight had just been born, and this move "Bihai Nuto" was actually quite laughable.

  Xu Hao wiped away the slightly sticky saliva and stared with dead fish eyes. He was shocked, he didn't expect that his fatal blow would miss its mark and land on a turtle shell instead. Who had ruined his own good fortune? He kicked the turtle flying, and it rolled around like a top before landing in the corner of the courtyard like a stone. He had overlooked the fact that an Iron Sand Palm of a high-ranking Spiritual Disciple shouldn't have been unable to shatter the turtle shell. What kind of turtle had such an indestructible hard shell?

  Everyone looked at where the flying turtle came from and went.

  At the gate, a young man with tattered clothes and bare feet clenched his fists, staring at them with thick dust on his face, his black and white eyes revealing intense murderous intent.

  Chen Mo's body was straight as a board, and after experiencing life and death hardships, his mind was even more resilient. At this moment, he was like an unsheathed precious sword, with a fierce killing intent hidden inside, waiting to be unleashed. As soon as he returned, he coincidentally saw Xu Hao make a ruthless move, and in the midst of urgency, he could only muster all his strength to throw out the only weapon on him, Xuan Gui Xiao Ba. He stopped the tragic event from happening. Looking at his big brother lying on the ground with multiple injuries, his mother who was grief-stricken to the point of collapse, and his sister who almost lost her life, a killing intent like an unstoppable weed spread wildly in his heart.

  "Second Brother." He Lian Huo Wu was the first to react, recognizing Chen Mo at a glance, and exclaimed in surprise.

  She exhausted her strength, and with the sudden relaxation of her tense nerves, she fell onto Chen Hua's back, sobbing excitedly: "Big brother, second brother is back! He's fine, he really is fine." Just as she had believed, Chen Mo wouldn't die easily and would definitely come back.

  "Chen Mo?" The crowd's eyes widened in shock. When the Xiaodongtian closed, it blew away all the disciples who were peeking inside, and when they brought him back, he said that he had seen Chen Mo and Chen Ye die inside the Xiaodongtian with his own eyes. How did he come out?

  For a moment, even the atmosphere on the scene was frozen. Even Xu Hao was stunned, how could someone who had clearly died suddenly appear?

  "Mother, brother. Wife, I'm back."

  He remained silent and still, his expression unchanged by the adversity, with a strong will hidden within. He walked calmly to Helian Fire Dance's side, revealing the first smile in days, finally returning to see familiar and dear faces again.

  They helped the three of them up one by one. Chen Mo carried his big brother on his back, with one hand grasping He Lian Huo Wu's wrist, feeling both comforted and bitter. In his heart, he only felt endless guilt and heartache for his family.
