873 Lord Merciless (1/2)

Mo Wen was a miracle physician, so a decaying poison was not a major issue to him.

However, to heal someone, one needed medicine. All the spiritual pills and medicine he had were sealed by Huatian Palace. It was impossible for him to treat and cure Bao Xun immediately.

However, he could seal Bao Xun's acupoints using gold needles and keep him alive before he removed the poison later. Sealing Bao Xun's acupoint just took more time.

”My Lord, you know medicine?”

Bao Xun looked at Mo Wen in astonishment. A scary young man like him knew medicine as well! Furthermore, his skills in medicine were extraordinary. With just a few pokes of the needles, he miraculously sealed all the decaying poison. It no longer showed any signs of spreading.

Next, he had to use his martial arts grandmaster cultivation skills to expel the decaying poison bit by bit. However, to a martial arts grandmaster, it was not very difficult. He just needed to spend a little time.

Mo Wen could control the most terrifying decaying poison in the Red Stone forest using just a few gold needles. Bao Xun thought that Mo Wen was even more mysterious and grew to respect and fear him more.

However, Bao Xun grew even more worried. The more powerful Mo Wen was, the greater his sense of crisis. He knew deep down inside that the relationship between him and Mo Wen was just transactional. He still had some use to Mo Wen, so Mo Wen would not kill him. But once he lost his value, the young man might burn the bridge. He might kill Bao Xun… After all, Bao Xun was worth 300 points. As a competitor, how would the young man just let him off like that?

”I know what you are worried about.” Mo Wen said lightly.

”My Lord…” Bao Xun lowered his head slightly, feeling jittery. He had once thought about escaping or even finding an opportunity to kill Mo Wen. However, upon witnessing how terrifying Mo Wen was, he scrapped all his earlier plans. He was truly starting to worry about his fate. The difference between the two of them was too great. He did not have the ability to escape from Mo Wen.

”I am not a cold, unfeeling person. Just do your job well. If I am satisfied, I will not kill you.”

Mo Wen put his hands behind his back and looked at the setting sun. He would only gain 300 points if he killed Bao Xun. However, if he were to make good use of the man, he would be able to get several thousand or even tens of thousands of points.

”Thank you, My Lord. I will definitely do my best and put my heart and soul into working for you.”

Bao Xun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what Mo Wen said. Mo Wen would not go back on his word. A powerhouse like him would not break his promises for a few hundred points.

The following five days, Bao Xun brought Mo Wen to various criminal hideouts. The criminal hideouts in the area were all decimated as long as Bao Xun knew of them.

There were a few criminal groups hidden deep in the belly of the mountains. They were found by Bao Xun as well.

Over the next five days, Mo Wen gained more than 20,000 points.

As time passed, Bao Xun's value fell as well. The number of criminal groups he could find decreased. After all, he was just a first realm martial arts grandmaster and was no big deal in the Red Stone forest. He only moved around in the periphery of the Red Stone forest and did not know much about anything deeper inside the forest.

On the fifth day, Mo Wen allowed Bao Xun to leave and did not kill him.

Mo Wen sat down on a cliff with his knees crossed. He closed his eyes and rested.

There were many powerhouses in the Red Stone forest. He had killed more than 30 martial arts grandmasters in five days, more than half of which were on the savages list. They were very powerful people back in the day. He had gained plenty fighting with such people.

Mo Wen could sense his practical combat abilities growing even more. Furthermore, the vague feeling he had that he was about to have a breakthrough grew stronger and stronger. However, the thin layer that was blocking him from the next martial arts grandmaster realm remained. He could not break through or step over it.

Suddenly, Mo Wen opened his eyes. He looked toward the east, and his eyes turned grave.

”I've been discovered. What keen senses. That's interesting.”

A cynical voice rang in the mountains, and a figure appeared. There was another person on the mountain.

The person was dressed entirely in red and was tall and slender. His features were exquisite. He had long narrow eyes, and there was a red cinnabar dot in the middle of his forehead. He seemed rather devilish.

”You have come uninvited, what is the meaning of this?” Mo Wen said lightly.

He was the only one on the peak, so the young man in red had naturally come for him. If the person had no other intention, why would he come?

”Lord Merciless, this man is Mo Wen. He is fifth on the leaderboard. He should be the one if nothing goes wrong.”

Another voice rang from behind the young man in red. A young man in white emerged. He looked extraordinary as well. He seemed energetic, handsome, and accomplished. He was indeed remarkable.

However, he was very respectful and humble before the young man in red. He seemed even servant-like. He fawned over the young man in red.

Mo Wen knew him. Wasn't he Shao Ji, the young leader of the Ming Temple?

He had been so arrogant but was now acting servile. Mo Wen thought it was a little funny.

”Oh, so you are Mo Wen?” The young man in red looked at Mo Wen. Even though he was asking a question, his tone was confident.

After five days of killing, Mo Wen's points had increased, and he had moved up the leaderboard. He was now in fifth place.

There were only four others before him.
