Chapter 187: Entering the Enemy’s Lair (2/2)

This low grade spiritual item, flying car, had no instruments for fine direction control, and could only point in a general direction. It was a mystery how Cen Shuyin had travelled to An Yang City on it previously.

When the flying car was about to land, Mo Wuji’s spiritual will had swept out already. This was the Thunder Fog Forest, and was probably very close to the battlefield with alien cultivators. Thus, he had to be very careful.

However, he soon realised that he was still too careless. Two men were hidden behind some rocks a few tens of meters behind him. Those two guys obviously saw his flying car, and were waiting for him to disembark before taking action.

If he could, Mo Wuji really wanted to start the flying car and fly away. But he did not dare to do so, as he was already being marked by. The reason behind this was very simple, he was too conspicuous. It seemed like having a flying car wasn’t that good after all.

According to the observations made with his spiritual will, the two people tracking him were slightly higher in cultivation level than him. If he flew off again, and got marked by really strong experts, not even his bones would be left over. Moreover, he suspected that he had landed in a lair of alien cultivators, which made it even more dangerous to liftoff.

The flying car landed on the ground faced his back at the particular rock. The moment that he kept the flying car, two hands quickly formed multiple complex hand techniques, then hit at the top of the rock behind him.

Ambushing was something that Mo Wuji was familiar with. He was sure that the two of them wanted to get him by surprise, as the best moment to strike was the instant he kept the flying car, in particular the point in time when he put the flying car into his storage bag.

Just as expected, when Mo Wuji kept the magic treasure, the two cultivators behind the rock made their move. Two beams of light shot towards him, and two men leapt out.

”Bang! Bang!”

Two electroballs exploded, and both of the cultivators got blown to a standstill.

”Ahh…”

Two screams rang out, and at that moment Mo Wuji just dodged one light beam, while the other pierced through his shoulder. But he disregarded his wounded state, leaping straight at the top of the rocks, and swinging the Tian Ji Pole at the same time. Even though he knew that two people were going to ambush him, he was still hit by one of the light beams, which meant that these two people were much stronger than he was. As the weaker party, he had to strike decisively from now on.

One of the cultivators was more unlucky than the other, being hit directly on the neck. No matter how strong his neck was, it would not be able to withstand the electroball strike. He fell to the ground, body spasming uncontrollable. Likely, he would die soon.

The other cultivator seemed to be rather battle hardened, and while he was still in the air, he knew that the ambush had failed, and his target had set up a counter ambush. Hence, he sent his snakehead mace towards Mo Wuji before he had reached the ground.

Mo Wuji was also in the air, and he only had one option: to retract his Tian Ji Pole to block the snakehead mace.

In reality, this cultivator did think of letting Mo Wuji escape, so that he could catch his breath before carrying on.

However, the person he met was Mo Wuji. Once Mo Wuji knew that he had landed in the enemy’s lair, the thought of escaping never entered his mind. Neither did he plan to be tangled in battle for long. Moreover, he was sure that his opponents would lose in this exchange.

Not only did he head straight for the snakehead mace, but he swung his Tian Ji Pole down with even wilder elemental energy than before.

The expression of the cultivator changed instantly. Never did he think that Mo Wuji was a lunatic. It’s important to point out that anyone else would have avoided his mace, as it was aimed straight at Mo Wuji’s heart and vitals.

But now his opponent did not avoid the strike, and on top of that, wanted to trade lives with him. There was no time to change his attack, so the eyes of the cultivator grew cold. If you’re not afraid of death, then why should I be? I’ll just trade my life for yours. Moreover, this strike of the pole might not kill him, but his strike of the mace would definitely kill Mo Wuji.

Before the mace could pierce Mo Wuji’s body, he could feel the great deathly aura enveloping him. The snake’s mouth on the mace spat out many beams of light, which broke Mo Wuji’s elemental energy protective barrier, and directly hit his body.

”Bang! Bang!” Two dull sounds rang out.

Mo Wuji’s Tian Ji Pole smashed into the cultivators hipbone, and a sharp pain spread through his body at the same time. Mo Wuji could feel his strength leaving his body rapidly.

Simultaneously, the sound of bone cracking and flesh tearing could be heard from the area below the Tian Ji Pole. The cultivator’s heart sank as he realised that he had made a miscalculation. His opponent had started his attack first, while he started later. In this exchange, he had no advantage at all.

Indeed, as he thought till this point, he saw the lower half of his body. His hip originally had been hit by Mo Wuji’s lightning strike, and the swing of the Tian Ji Pole had taken his hip clean off.

While Mo Wuji fell to the ground, he pulled at the snakehead mace lodged in his chest as hard as he could, and with fear in his heart. This was a gamble, and he had won. He had calculated that his Tian Ji Pole would kill his opponent first, and as long as that happened, the strength behind the snakehead mace would disappear.

Adding on the Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armor that he was wearing, which could defend against some of the elemental energy, he should have been able to survive. Just like that, his heart almost got destroyed by his opponent. A hole was torn in the Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armor too. It was apparent that the battle he just fought was very dangerous.
