Chapter 450: First Casualty (2/2)
Ma Moxi reappeared in front of the old man and the little loli a few seconds later. His clothes and hair were partly burned, revealing the golden chainmail treasure and his plate armor under his robes.
By throwing the bomb away, the grandpa and the little loli friend of Moxi were safe.
”Brother Moxi!” The little 6-year-old girl rushed at Ma Moxi and hugged his legs in joy.
Moxi patted the little girl's head and turned to the old man, ”Uncle Tu, carry Xiaoyi and come with me. I'll take you away from here.”
RUMBLE
While Ma Moxi was wasting his time rescuing his friends, a thousand wolf-like monsters ran amok, slaughtering human cultivators and commoners in the town.
Upon sensing that more than 10,000 monsters had surrounded this village, Ma Moxi's face turned dark. He wouldn't be able to save everyone in this town, even if the other three nascent soul cultivators were to help him.
Just now, the Yin Flame explosion almost injured him. If Zhang Liao, Wang Yun, or Qu YI were to take a hit from it, Ma Moxi believed that they would have perished on the spot.
”ZHANG LIAO, WANG YUN, QU YI!! COME OVER HERE!!”
The three nascent soul experts rushed to Ma Moxi's side. On the way, they repelled three of the monsters, but they hadn't killed one. They simply warded them off with their domains.
”Moxi, what are those things!?” Qu Yi was shocked when he saw the monsters.
”I don't know either. But we have to leave now. Oh, let's take this senior and the girl with us.”
”Oh, okay.”
Wang Yun reactivated his shadow teleportation skill once again. This time, he allowed the elder and the little girl to enter his shadow domain first. Qu Yi and Zhang Liao slowly descended into the shadow while Ma Moxi stayed behind as a rearguard.
After all members other than Wang Yun and Ma Moxi had entered the shadow, the former warned Ma Moxi, ”Everyone has retreated. Moxi, your turn!”
”Roger.”
Ma Moxi stomped his foot and created four sides of golden walls to protect Wang Yun. Then, he rushed toward the shadow.
But suddenly, a humanoid figure appeared from Wang Yun's shadow below his feet, and a shadow sword pierced through Wang Yun's head!
”!!!”
Ma Moxi reacted a breath too slow. He sent a palm strike to the unknown shadow silhouette, but Wang Yun's brain was already crushed.
PA
The shadow silhouette took the hit like it was nothing. In exchange, it created 10 shadow spears and stabbed Ma Moxi's legs and hands.
Getting counterattacked, Ma Moxi vanished and reappeared behind Wang Yun, recuperating from the light injuries.
Ma Moxi shoved his ethereal hand into Wang Yun's back and pulled out the latter's nascent soul from the body.
Fortunately, Wang Yun's nascent soul managed to leave his body before it was destroyed along with the physical form, but it was a matter of time before his soul would be captured by the world guardians or Samsara's agents.
Moreover, his nascent soul was weak since he didn't eject it before the spear pierced his skull. His soul had several cracks, and it was about to crumble apart.
Realizing his doom, Wang Yun's nascent soul revealed a wry smile on his face, ”Moxi, I'm sending everyone to Xiangyang! I'll leave the rest to you!”
”I'll create a new body for you with alchemy. Come with me.”
”Sorry, it's too late. Go and tell Lord Mao Miaomiao for me that I did my best.”
Wang Yun enveloped Ma Moxi with his shadow domain and directly sent the protagonist to his shadow realm teleporting everyone to Xiangyang.
Ma Moxi's eyes were bloodshot as he gazed at Wang Yun for the last time. The shadow devoured him and teleported him out of his town.
Wang Yun's nascent soul turned to the mysterious silhouette, who had invaded his shadow domain.
Upon staring at the unknown existence, Wang Yun got to see its real form.
It was a human cultivator, who had fallen to the heretic path, a Fiendish Cultivator! His body was shrouded with a dark aura, and his dantian was no longer compatible with Yin, Yang, or Life Qi.
Fiendish Cultivator usually made a pact with an evil fiend or a monster, taking a shortcut to increase his lifespan and obtain power instead of cultivating normally.
He could only get stronger by consuming other cultivator's Qi!
Realizing the situation and his opponent's trait, he remembered what this aura belonged to. After all, he had learned about the Four Hell Fiends from the Qiongqi cub.
”You… you made a pact with a Taotie!!”
The humanoid silhouette glared at the nascent soul of Wang Yun. He sneered, ”So what? At least, I'm better than demons and demon worshipers like you!”
The shrouded aura revealed the face of the silhouette.
Wang Yun remembered him now.
This person was Ling Tianlong!
He was supposed to be dead!
Without hesitation, Wang Yun relayed the latest intel, sending his voice transmission to Ma Moxi.
”LING TIANLONG IS STILL ALIVE!! HE MADE A CONTRACT WITH A TAOTIE!!”
BOOM
Ling Tianlong sneered as Wang Yun's soul was pierced by a dozen dark spears and swords, made of Dark Element Qi and Death Essence. The soul shattered and was disintegrated into dust.
”This is the first, Mao Miaomiao. I'll keep hunting your friends and families! Once my power is completed, I'll let you have a taste of despair!!”
