Chapter 194: Risking One’s Self To Save Others

Putting a few healing pills into his mouth, Mo Wuji limped out of the lightning lake. The cultivators he killed in the lightning lake were all noobs, they were at the most in the Transcending Mortality Stage. Most of them didn’t even have storage bags so Mo Wuji really couldn’t be bothered to spend his time and risk getting struck by lightning to collect his spoils of war. What he needed now was to get recovered, and not get rich.
The moment he emerged from the lightning lake, Mo Wuji immediately sat down and started to recuperate his energy. This wasn’t because he didn’t wish to leave as soon as possible, but he was overdraft, and even if he departed now, he would not be able to get far.
This patch of the Thunder Fog Forest had been razed to the ground, and it wouldn’t be safe for him to loiter here for long. Wait till he managed to recover some energy, he would immediately get out of here, and take the risk to escape with his flying car.
Half an incense of time later, as Mo Wuji was intending to stand up, he suddenly heard a slight crashing sound. He hastily ran to the side and strained to see what was happen.
An ignited flame talisman came flying over; Mo Wuji used his fastest speed to take a step forward and dodge this flying talisman.
”Hong!” The flame talisman exploded and Mo Wuji was struck by the spreading fire; his tattered clothes and his hair were all burnt.
As he extinguished the fire on his body, Mo Wuji finally had a good look at the fella who sneak attacked him. This fella had a face as black as charcoal, it was blacker than his mask’s black face, and his big mouth was panting heavily for air. This fella was clearly heavily injured; from the looks of it, he seemed to be struck by a demonic beast’s wind blade on his chest and his legs.
Seeing this fella staring at him with his mouth wide open, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to grab his Tian Ji Pole and swung it downwards.
Even though the cultivator who ambushed Mo Wuji was immobilised, he still strained himself to lift his hand to block Mo Wuji’s Tian Ji Pole.
”Peng!” A profound sound could be heard as an immense energy sent both Mo Wuji and his pole flying.
Mo Wuji was still in midair but he sent a bolt of Lightning Flash crashing towards that man. That cultivator was so heavily injured but he was still easily able to send Mo Wuji flying, his cultivation must at least be in the late levels of the Yuan Dan Stage.
Mo Wuji’s skill came flying over, and the surrounding air started to get distorted. This black faced cultivator’s eyes revealed an expression of despair. He was not able to move, and no matter how impressive he was, he wouldn’t be able to defend against Mo Wuji’s Lightning Flash. Moreover, when he sent Mo Wuji flying, his arm did not manage to avoid the strike by Mo Wuji’s Tian Ji Pole, and was ripped apart.
”Hong!” The lightning exploded and drilled a blood hole in this black faced cultivator’s chest.
Mo Wuji walked over to the cultivator’s corpse with some lingering fear, and collected the storage bag.
Swallowing two healing pills, Mo Wuji decided that this was the time to leave.
”Hong!” The clash of two bouts of elemental energy could be heard. Mo Wuji did not even have the time to react before a figure came crashing over.
Mo Wuji hastily dodged to the side and was prepared to give this person a taste of his Lightning Flash. However, the moment he saw that person’s face, he immediately gave up on that idea.
He recognised this person, this person wasn’t pouncing towards him; she was Yan’Er’s senior apprentice sister, the Pill Pagoda’a Shi Jinwen. Shi Jinwen clearly wasn’t targeting him, but was sent flying over by her opponent.
As expected, before Shi Jinwen could even land on the ground, a figure came rushing towards her. It was a hooked nose man; he was definitely an alien cultivator.
Mo Wuji had battled with more than hundreds of alien cultivators and had developed a rough understanding towards the alien cultivators. The alien cultivators’ cultivation method seemed to be different from here. When they attacked, there was a clear difference in their spirituality flow.
The hooked nose man’s power was ostensibly inferior to that short wintermelon and the coffin man, but his attacks were much stronger than those alien cultivators he dealt with. When he was pouncing towards Shi Jinwen, the flow of spirituality around his body was more pronounced.
As this alien cultivator’s magic treasure was about to trap Shi Jinwen, Shi Jinwen had already steadied her footings and lifted a pill cauldron. The pill cauldron clashed against the hooked nose man’s magic treasure, sending waves of elemental energy which filled the sky. When the two battled, it was like a huge plow was being dragged across the land; it was incomparably messy.
This is not a battle I can poke my nose in, hurry and go. As Mo Wuji was prepared to leave, he heard Yan’Er’s voice.
Mo Wuji’s heart went into a fluster as he saw Yan’Er and two other ladies charging over. Mo Wuji was already in the Transcending Mortality Stage and he could tell that all three of were in the same stage with a single glance. With their level, any attempts to help Shi Jinwen would be futile.
Seeing Yan’Er rush over, the expression on Shi Jinwen’s face changed drastically. Mo Wuji, who was originally intending to bolt, gave up on that idea and charged towards Yan’Er.
As long as that hook nose wasn’t an idiot, he could definitely ascertain that Yan’Er and Shi Jinwen did not have a merely ordinary relationship. If he was that hook nose, he would not hesitate to sneak an attack on Yan’Er and destroy her.
Yan’Er’s and that hook nose’s cultivation were as different as heaven and earth; that hook nose only needed to lift his pinky and Yan’Er would definitely be killed. He would not be doing much, but Shi Jinwen would definitely be heavily impacted.
Yan’Er was clearly lacking in battle prowess; her intentions to help Shi Jinwen were understandable but with her power, on the premise that she wasn’t able to use any ranged attacks, she was truly unable to help Shi Jinwen.
Mo Wuji’s estimations was truly without error; at almost the instant Yan’Er appeared, a beam of black light shot towards her.
At this moment, Yan’Er was like Mo Wuji when he encountered Mo Wuji. The surrounding space around her was locked in place, and her movements became exaggeratedly slow. Even if Shi Jinwen wanted to save Yan’Er, she wouldn’t be able to do it in time.
