Chapter 16: Nosy

The sudden appearance of two strangers made the chasers vigilant.

Before they could say anything, Mo Xiu pointed at Yan Ran and Lin Jie, and said without discussion, "I will protect them."

Hearing this, Yan Ran was immediately overjoyed, but after seeing the faces of Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi clearly, she was a little disappointed again.

A boy and a girl, they didn't seem to be more than twenty years old. Even if they had some strength, they were estimated to be very limited. How could they be able to deal with these hunters?

Since it couldn't be dealt with, it was nothing more than talking about protecting their lives. It was really meaningless to play prestige. It was impossible to really save their lives from these killers.

Seeing Mo Xiu's extremely arrogant look, those chasers were startled for a moment, and soon burst into laughter.

"You want to protect the two of them?"

"Where did this kid who doesn't know the depth of the earth come from?"

"Just base on you, you want to protect the two of them?"

"Haha, this silly boy, where does his confidence come from?"

...

All the chasers couldn't help laughing.

The lead pursuer stared at Mo Xiu for a while, then suddenly asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to be nosy?"

Mo Xiu: "You don't need to know who I am. Now you have two choices, either leave by yourself or die."

The leading felt a bit speechless, but immediately snorted, "Arrogant! I want to see how you let me die!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his palm and shot towards Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu had already seen through the opponent's cultivation base, 8th level of Core Formation Realm. His own cultivation base was only at the 9th level of the Qi Refining Realm, and there was a great gap between these two realms.

With such a huge difference in cultivation level, Mo Xiu naturally wouldn't face it hard, however, he didn't use the Soul Devouring Knife immediately but took two steps forward, letting the opponent slap him with a palm.

"Boom!"

After a shock, Mo Xiu was not slapped flying but a green light flashed on him instead, and then that huge impact made the surface of the green light manifest waves like a water ripple.

The face of the killer immediately changed, and before he could respond, a huge force had already hit him through his palm.

He couldn't help groaning, then lifted his feet off the ground and flew out.

"Puff…"

While still in the air, he spurted out a mouthful of blood. Although he didn't fall to the ground all of a sudden, he staggered a few steps before barely standing still.

"How... how could this happen?" The killer felt very unbelievable.

His cultivation base was on the 8th level of Core Formation Realm, and Mo Xiu's cultivation base didn't seem to be very high. It didn't matter if he couldn't shoot Mo Xiu flying with this palm, but he himself was shaken down. This was too incredible.

The other killers also opened their eyes wide, wondering if they were mistaken.

The dignified 8th level Core Formation expert couldn't beat even a brat?

How was this possible?

Yan Ran, who was still a little disappointed just now, was bright at the moment. She also felt a little bit unbelievable, but she was surprised more.

She originally thought that Mo Xiu was just talking casually, but now it didn't seem to be. Mo Xiu really had the strength to protect their lives.

It was a pity that there were only two people on his side, and seven to eight people on the other. Mo Xiu could deal with a killer, but she didn't know if he could withstand it if the killers joined forces.

Mo Xiu's cultivation level was indeed not very high. The reason why he was able to shake the killer upside down was because he had cultivated the Myriad Wood Spirit Art.

There were nine levels of Myriad Wood Spirit Art, and he only cultivated to the first level now.

Although it was only the first level, how powerful was the Myriad Wood Spirit Art once practiced to the same level as the Undying Immortal King? Nowadays, ordinary Core Formation cultivators couldn't hurt him at all, which was why he allowed that guy to slap himself without care.

"Body refining technique? No, it is not a body refining technique. It should be a very advanced defensive skill." After a brief period of shock, the lead chaser quickly guessed.

Body refining technique was very rare, but even if one really had a body refining technique, it was still unknown if that person could practice it or not. After all, refining the body was a very difficult thing, and often the effort was not proportional to the gain. It was better to focus on the improvement of the cultivation realm.

Defensive techniques were different. At least it would not make people feel pain when practicing, and it would be very useful. It was more practical than the body refining technique, but it was also rarer and basically only existed in legends.

Realizing that Mo Xiu might have practiced defensive techniques, the chaser's eyes lit up, and his heart also became a little hot.

Soon, he turned around and said to the other chasers, "Kill Yan Ran first, and then catch him after completing the task, to force him to surrender his defensive technique!"

Yan Ran was shocked.

She thought that these people would solve Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi first, and after they solved those two people, they would solve her and Lin Jie.

In that case, as long as Mo Xiu could defeat the opponent, she and Lin Jie would survive.

But now, these hunters didn't do that. Instead, they planned to kill her first, and then slowly dealt with Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi after completing the task.

Even if Mo Xiu could defeat thy opponents, he certainly could not win without saving her and Lin Jie's lives. After all, she was closer to these chasers and farther from Mo Xiu. It was much easier for these chasers to kill her.

In other words, she was dead this time!

Sure enough, after the hunters got the order, two people immediately drew their swords and swung their swords to kill her.

At this moment, Mo Xiu also got serious. As soon as the Soul Devouring Knife came out, the invisible sharp blade penetrated the bodies of the two chasers instantly.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A loud bang sounded from the two of them, and their Spiritual Platforms were instantly breached by the Soul Devouring Knife.

With two "bangs", the two seemed to lose consciousness in the blink of an eye, and fell straight to the ground.

Yan Ran, who had accepted her fate, closed her eyes and waited for death. After hearing the sound of someone falling to the ground, she quickly opened her eyes.

She found that the two people who wanted to kill her fell on the ground somehow, but Mo Xiu stood there, seemingly never moved at all, which made her feel very puzzled.

The other hunters didn't close their eyes at all when things happened just now, but they were also puzzled. They didn't understand what was going on, or why the two people who were good enough swiftly fell down like this.

Mo Ruyi, who stood beside Mo Xiu, didn't feel surprised. After all, this was not the first time Mo Xiu had used the Soul Devouring Knife.

Seeing that everyone was stunned, she rushed out quickly, grabbed Yan Ran and Lin Jie on the ground, and soon returned to Mo Xiu.

After the targets were taken away, the remaining chasers reacted and realized that the two people who fell on the ground were dead, though they were still unsure if they were dead in the hands of Mo Xiu or Mo Ruyi.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyelids jumped wildly, and there was a little bad feeling in their hearts.

The head killer motioned his eyes, and someone went to check it out. The result was exactly as they expected. The two people were indeed dead, and the expressions on their faces did not show the slightest pain. It could be said that the two didn't even know that they died.

Clearly, Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi had never moved, but how did they kill people? How was it possible to kill invisibly like this?

"Hiss…"

The lead pursuer took a deep breath and looked at Mo Xiu again, "Who on earth are you?"

Mo Xiu didn't answer, but said, "It's too late for you to leave now."

"Leave?"

The chaser shook his head slightly, "If Yan Ran doesn't die, we will die. And even if we leave now, we will still have a dead end. I don't know who you are, but I advise you not to be nosy, even if we die in your hands today, someone will still come to chase her down. You can protect her today, but you can't protect her for the rest of your life. Nosy is trying to kill yourself!"

"It's not your turn to tell me how to behave, since you don't want to stop, then go to death."

As Mo Xiu declared, he once again displayed the Soul Devouring Knife, swept away the invisible sharp blade like a storm, penetrated the bodies of the remaining chasers, and instantly broke through their Spiritual Platforms.

"Boom, boom..."

This time, all the pursuers fell to the ground, and they all died on the spot.

Seeing that all the chasers were easily solved by Mo Xiu, Yan Ran was stunned.

This was too strong!

Who was this person? When did such a powerful figure appear near Sun Martial City?

Thinking about it, she bowed and said, "Thank you for your help. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness."

"En."

Mo Xiu was not polite, and nodded lightly, then turned his eyes to look at Lin Jie who was covered in blood.

Mo Ruyi knew it, and quickly reached out and probed Lin Jie's body, and quickly said, "She's badly injured, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive."

Hearing this, Yan Ran had a sad look on her face, but she did not cry, but took Lin Jie from Mo Ruyi's hand, carefully supported her, and immediately said, "I want to take her to Sun Martial City for treatment as soon as possible, to see if there is a chance to save her life."

"It's not necessary." Mo Xiu shook his head slightly, "She is so badly injured that no one can heal her even if you take her to Sun Martial City."

"But..." Yan Ran was a little unwilling.

"Leave it to me, I can save her life." Before she could continue, Mo Xiu butted in.

"Do you still have medical skills?" Yan Ran instinctively asked this.

"Yes, but I don't plan to use medical skills to treat her." Mo Xiu nodded and shook his head at the same time, making every here speechless.

"How can you cure her without medical skills?" Yan Ran somehow felt that she didn't know how to describe her mood at this moment.

"..."

Mo Xiu did not answer, but looked at Yan Ran, waiting for Yan Ran to make a decision.

Yan Ran raised her head and stared at Mo Xiu. After a while, she nodded, "I understand, I'm sorry to trouble you." As she said this, she handed Lin Jie to Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu operated the Myriad Wood Spirit Art without delay, consequently, the surrounding trees burst out with green rays, and the entire forest was once again shrouded in the green light.
