Chapter 216: How Many People Repay Kindness With Vengeance (2/2)
After finishing his sentence, Mo Wuji sent out the first blade, which landed conspicuously at a location in the air.
Most of the people here were in Transcending Mortality Stage, so after the blade was sent out, seven to eight magic treasures struck the same spot.
”Crack!” With a slight noise, a small crack appeared in midair.
The confidence that everyone had towards Mo Wuji was boosted greatly upon seeing that such a result was obtained just from the first strike. When his second blade landed, even greater power struck its position.
A third time, a fourth time…
”Crack!” The seventh time that the group’s magic treasures hit a point in space, a crisp cracking sound echoed through the air, following which a loud shattering sound could be heard.
Fresh sea breeze blew into their faces, and all of them could not help but scream out of joy. The laughing monk leapt out first, landing in the sea.
Those left behind were no slower, as they rushed out quickly. Mo Wuji was the sixth to charge out, and behind him was Zhuang Yan, Qi Susu, and the black faced man.
Just as he crossed out of the outer deck, Mo Wuji’s spiritual will sensed a black shadow with a stench grabbing at his back. The shadow had a strong yin aura, and as he was not a newbie that just step foot in the world of cultivation, he instantly knew that there was a ghost cultivator or yin cultivator hiding there.
On top of that, this guy bore grudges, knowing that Mo Wuji had let his food go free, so he wanted to take down Mo Wuji the first.
But how would Mo Wuji, who had spiritual will, allow this ghost cultivator to catch him? With a twist of his body in the air, the Tian Ji Pole appeared in his hands. When the ghost cultivator saw that Mo Wuji had dodged, he seemed rather indignant, knowing that it wouldn’t be very possible to catch Mo Wuji ever again. The ghost cultivator split into two, one headed for Zhuang Yan and the other Qi Susu. He likely thought that these two girls would be easier to deal with.
”Ah!” A scream of terror rang out, as Qi Susu was dragged straight into the ship by the ghost cultivator, leaving a trail of blood behind on deck.
Naturally, Mo Wuji could detect both shadow claws, however they were too fast and too far away, so he could only save one person. Zhuang Yan seemed like a good person, had reminded him of certain things, and was much closer to him. Hence, he decided to lend a helping hand.
Right before the shadow claws had come into contact with Zhuang Yan, Mo Wuji spun his body in midair once again, directly lifting his body fifty metres away. Then he swung down continuously with the pole.
A bloodcurdling scream rang out, as the shadow claw took away a large piece of Zhuang Yan’s clothing before disappearing into the ship.
‘Creak’ The sound of the floorboards beneath him made Mo Wuji’s expression change for the worse. This ghost cultivator was not someone easy to deal with. After he couldn’t catch Mo Wuji, he actually tried to adjust the ship’s position such that Mo Wuji would not land in the sea. It seemed like the ghost cultivator had no plans to let Mo Wuji go.
The trap array of the ship was activated once again, causing everything other than the blood stains on the outer deck to disappear. Now Mo Wuki knew that he could only rely on himself to break this array, because he was left alone on the ship after saving Zhuang Yan.
Compared to before, the Mo Wuji now had a little more confidence. When the ghost cultivator’s shadow claw grabbed him, he hit the shadow claw once, which confirmed his suspicions. The ghost cultivator’s strength did have a limit, and he only relied on ambushes. In other words, if the nine of them were not that cowardly, they might have been able to force this ghost cultivator to reveal himself just with their strength alone.
…
”Brother Qi, let’s go to help brother Mo quickly.” Zhuang Yan was the most aware of why Mo Wuji was trapped on the ship again. It was because he was trying to save her.
In a comforting tone, Qi Wenxuan replied, ”Yanyan, brother Mo is a good man, but we don’t have the ability to save him, so let’s just leave.”
Zhuang Yan looked at Qi Wenxuan in disbelief, before carrying on, ”But brother Xuan, brother Mo just saved me, otherwise I would have been the dead one.”
With a sigh, Qi Wenxuan pointed at the island not far away, ”Yanyan, let’s go to the island first before we start brainstorming for ideas. I believe in brother Mo capabilities. Nothing will happen to him.”
”You…”
Zhuang Yan’s face turned pale, and she suddenly shouted, ”Everyone, if it weren’t for brother Mo, we’d still be on that ship. Now we’re safe, but brother Mo is still alone on the ship, so I believe that as long as we go aboard the ship again, we’ll definitely be able to save brother Mo.”
These words were from the heart. While Zhuang Yan was much more afraid of the ship than anyone there, but she would not be able to live with the fact that she abandoned the person that saved her life.
The black faced Pu Qian answered, ”Ok, let’s go save him together.”
But soon the both of them discovered that only the both of them responded, and the rest of the group charged wildly at the island as though as they did not hear anything.
Zhuang Yan spoke while teared rolled down her eyes, ”Brother Pu, I thank you regardless of whether you’re willing to save brother Mo with me now. But I must go to save him, otherwise I might as well just die.”
With a thumbs up, Pu Qian replied, ”Sister Zhuang Yan, while you are a woman, but you put many men to shame. Why are you still speaking, let’go together now.”
…
Standing alone on the outer deck, Mo Wuji not only failed to dispel the trap array, but instead walked into the ship while laughing coldly, ”Since you invited me in, don’t blame me for taking up the offer.
