“Impossible!” Wan Qinghe roared instinctively, but something that shocked him even more happened next.

The Hell Celestial Sword slashed the Forceful Fist Sword Qi that Wan Qinghe gathered as if it was just slicing paper, then approached him with an irresistible force as it transformed into a real magical flying sword. He found it impossible to oppose the power due to the aura of the Hell Celestial Sword, and he felt like he was in hell.

Chop!

The Hell Celestial Store cut through Wan Qinghe’s neck, causing a spurt of blood to gush out, and his bloody head flew into a small river. A plop was heard before it sank to the bottom, and the stream was dyed red right away.

Plop!

Wan Qinghe’s headless corpse fell into the pool of blood. The sight of the little warlord from Tianyuan Academy dying in extreme shock was terribly ghastly.

“How…how can it be?” Lu Susu had an awful expression on her face. She never expected Ji Mo, who had always given one the impression of weakness, to be such a deadly threat. Initially, she thought that she could rely on Wan Qinghe, but it turned out that he got off on the wrong foot, and his head was even chopped off.

“An outer disciple is actually…actually threatening my life. This…” It was evident that Lu Susu could not accept the truth that she had been knocked out badly, and that the person who struck her was Huo Lin’er’s little brother.

Perhaps Lu Susu had only regarded Ji Mo as Huo Lin’er’s little brother.

When Ji Mo went closer to Wan Qinghe’s corpse to kick it, there was no response since he was completely dead.

“Stop it. Do you think that he’s a leech that can still move even when his head has been chopped off?” Huo Lin’er went over to scold him.

“I want to see if he has anything worthy,” Ji Mo responded.

Huo Lin’er rolled her eyes at him without bothering him. She walked toward Lu Susu but was quickly followed by Ji Mo who was worried that she would be attacked since her True Qi was sealed.

“Lu Susu, what do you have to say?” Huo Lin’er shouted at her and cast a cold look at her enemy.

“Huo Lin’er, you…you’re really something. I can’t believe that you’ve trained such a powerful outer disciple. I’ve lost to you,” Lu Susu replied, seeming like she was not resigned to the outcome.

When Huo Lin’er looked at Ji Mo meaningfully, she realized that Lu Susu misunderstood that she had mentored Ji Mo, but she really did not do anything for him and had only provided him with some spiritual medicine. Nonetheless, Huo Lin’er was not a fool, thus she knew that it was not the spiritual medicine that helped Ji Mo to become stronger.

Nonetheless, Huo Lin’er did not explain. She turned to say to Ji Mo, “Ji Mo, help me…”

“Why me?” Ji Mo was frustrated.

Huo Lin’er lowered her head as if the answer was too painful to be disclosed, but she finally replied to Ji Mo through a voice transmission that only he could understand, “Lu Susu was actually…a close friend of mine, but she became sinister and immoral. We used to be close after all, so if I were to kill her…I just can’t do it.”

“Close friend?” Startled, Ji Mo’s head ached as he wondered, ‘Why are there so many cases of close friends turning against each other nowadays? Can this be more ridiculous than it already is?’

Ji Mo sighed before approaching Lu Susu and shook his head upon seeing her beautiful face. Honestly, it was quite a challenge for him to kill a charming lady like her.

On the other hand, Huo Lin’er walked away quietly as she could not bear to watch it.

Lu Susu smiled at Ji Mo seductively when she noticed him staring at her blankly. Her eyes looked cunning as she spoke gently, “Little brother, are you really willing to kill me? How about you let me go? I’ll return the favor by promising that I’ll never go against Huo Lin’er anymore, and I can even give myself to you.” She looked at Ji Mo flirtatiously.

“How absurd can this get?” Ji Mo expressed.

Lu Susu was in a daze. She knew that the teen was not as easy to deal with as Wan Qinghe, so she quickly stated, “What do you think? I’ll obey you, and I’ll promise you anything as long as you don’t kill me.”

“Really?” Ji Mo’s eyes glowed.

Lu Susu smiled brightly. Seeing Huo Lin’er getting further away from them, she did her best to seduce him by revealing her fair thighs and looking at him with puppy eyes. “Of course, it’s real. As long as you say it, I’ll give you anything you want, including my body…But before that, you must promise to be on my side, so you must kill Huo Lin’er, and I’ll satisfy you!”

Pfft!

Before Lu Susu could finish, Ji Mo looked at her fiercely and released the Celestial Devil Power. When he punched his fist out, the Forceful Fist Sword Qi condensed into a wisp of sword Qi that slashed her neck, causing blood to gush out. Consequently, Lu Susu looked at him in disbelief before collapsing to the ground.

She did not see this coming since she was just having a good conversation with Ji Mo earlier.

The fierce look in Ji Mo’s eyes went away, and the Celestial Devil’s disposition disappeared. Ji Mo became an ordinary teen again, but he looked at Lu Susu’s corpse coldly as he sneered, “A thief can’t change his or her nature. If you hadn’t mentioned the last sentence, I might’ve really been reluctant to kill you.”

After that, he retrieved the treasure pouch that was tied around Lu Susu’s waist, then he got rid of Lu Susu and Wan Qinghe’s corpses before catching up to Huo Lin’er without turning back.

“Did you really…do it?” Huo Lin’er asked softly when he returned.

“Why? Do you miss her?” Ji Mo could not help but chuckle. After all, Huo Lin’er was a girl, and even though she was used to the cruelty and injustice in the cultivation world, Lu Susu used to be a close friend of hers. As much as they hated each other, it was normal for Huo Lin’er to feel sorrowful when one of them had to die.

Ji Mo wondered how Huo Lin’er would feel if he told her that Lu Susu had still been thinking of ways to kill her before she died, but he figured that Huo Lin’er would have probably expected it anyway.

“I just didn’t think that you’d actually managed to kill a lady who was as pretty as a flower,” Huo Lin’er teased since he did not say a word.

“It’s something that can be done by just turning a blind eye and gritting one’s teeth. That being said, she really enticed me before she died, and a normal man couldn’t have resisted the temptation. In fact, I almost gave in and surrendered myself to her.” Ji Mo scratched his head.

“Hehehe…” Huo Lin’er covered her mouth while ringing out with laughter. Her twinkling eyes and smile made her look extra attractive under the sunlight as though a fairy in flames had descended from heaven, hence Ji Mo stared at her blankly.

“What are you looking at?” Upon seeing him staring at her foolishly, she quickly laughed and rolled her eyes at him.

“Oh right, this is the treasure pouch that Lu Susu carried at her waist. Take a look if there’s an antidote for the seal that was placed on you,” Ji Mo suggested as he handed the pouch to her.

Huo Lin’er searched the treasure pouch for a long time, and her eyes finally sparkled. “There really is one! I was poisoned by Lu Susu’s poison powder, so my True Qi was sealed. The antidote is in this pouch, and in a night, I’ll be able to get rid of the poison to recover my cultivation base.”

“Okay, let’s find a place for you to detoxify and see what you can do after that,” Ji Mo responded.
