880 Crimson-Haired Demoness (2/2)

”You don't even plan to give me the chance of survival?” The criminal took a deep breath and stared at Gu Jingman with an exceptionally cold gaze.

”A chance of survival? Alright, I will give you a chance to survive, but it depends on whether you are capable of fighting for it. Three moves,” Gu Jingman said lazily while extending three fair and slender fingers.

”Defeat you in three moves?” The criminal's pupils contracted and his facial expression turned serious. Clearly, this woman had rather high cultivation. He did not have much confidence in whether he could defeat an opponent when he had no idea what her cultivation was. However, this was his only chance of survival. Since things had come to such, he had no choice.

”You are overthinking it. My condition is this: if you are not dead after three moves, I will let you go,” Gu Jingman scoffed. This person was interesting. She had not seen someone with as much confidence as him.

”Not dead after three moves!”

The criminal's face twitched. He had never imagined that this would be the condition. Even though he was not at the top tier in this Heart of the Red Stone Forest, he had gained some fame over the years. He had never met anyone who dared to say that they could finish him in three moves.

”Then let's cut the talk. Come at me. I want to see whether you can really kill me in three moves.”

He was so angry that he laughed. Other than the legendary immortals, those third realm Martial Arts Grandmasters who dared to say that they would kill him within three moves were definitely rare. He had a lot of combat experience and he had practiced a terrifying martial arts teaching. He did not believe that this woman could kill him in three moves for a moment.

Gu Jingman smiled and said nothing more. A brilliant crimson light appeared in her hand, coagulating slowly to form a quaint crimson sword. The next moment, her figure had disappeared from its original spot.

When she appeared again, she was three meters behind the criminal, with her back facing his back. She did not turn her head. However, blood was dripping down from the crimson sword in her hand.

The person stood on his original spot, and his body stiffened. He was still maintaining his previous pose, and his gaze was filled with terror, disbelief, and a deep reluctance.

Fast! It was too fast!

It was so fast that he did not have time to react at all. If he had known that her speed was so terrifying, he would definitely not have been so careless.

Unfortunately, no one could turn back time in this world.

”Whatever!”

The criminal shut his eyes and sighed softly. A blood streak appeared on his body starting from between his brows. Then, it extended all the way to the bottom of his feet, cleaving his body in half. He fell from the sky.

He knew that the terror of this woman had far exceeded his imagination. Even if he knew beforehand that she had such terrifying speed, he would most likely only have been able to defend himself against her first attack. He would still die at her hands during the second and third moves.

”Dead after the first move. That's all you've got.” Gu Jingman shook her head slightly.

This criminal was most likely weaker than those slightly impressive geniuses among the contestants. She had seen a few extraordinary youths who were far more powerful than this person.

”Hunting and killing these criminals is boring. It's time for me to head to Mechanized Maze City. Rumor has it that it is a mysterious and interesting place. Mo Wen is most likely making his way there too. I wonder whether he can get first place in the Heaven List. If he can't, first place will no doubt be mine.”

…

Regardless of how exciting the outside world was, Mo Wen did not know and he didn't care. Right now, he was hiding in the tree hole and focusing on his treatment.

Luckily, he was a physician. Furthermore, the Celestial Scripture: Sun and Moon. which he was practicing, was very useful in allowing him to treat his wounds. In just two hours, his injuries were almost healed.

Mo Wen slowly opened his eyes, ending his seclusion. His aura reached the pinnacle once again. He glanced around. The sky outside was most likely dark now. ”Something's off!”

Mo Wen furrowed his brows. Suddenly, he noticed that many auras had appeared around the tree hole. Those auras were surrounding his location, and they were increasing in number.

Clearly, many people had encircled him.

”I have actually been discovered. This is strange. How did they discover me?”

A glint of puzzlement flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. He was very confident in his concealment technique. It was definitely not an easy feat for others to discover him.

There are indeed many capable men in this Heart of the Red Stone Forest.

Mo Wen felt a sense of regret in his heart. Since he had been discovered, he did not need to hide anymore. His aura suddenly exploded, blasting the tree hole apart. At the same time, he came out of it.
