CHAPTER 374: CHAPTER 162: DA LEI FAIRY’S HIDDEN POWER! SO IT WAS YOU?!_2

Crack—

At this moment, the face of an assistant officer from the branch stiffened, and his body suddenly twisted.

Soon after, two withered hands extended from his chest, forcefully tearing the entire body apart, and a skinny man emerged unharmed from inside, saying in shock:

"That was close. Fortunately, I prepared a few blood puppets; this woman is terrifying..."

He then turned around directly and pierced the chests of two colleagues with his hands.

The two had not yet reacted, and looked down in bewilderment, only to see two beating hearts clutched in that hand.

Then their bodies quickly shriveled up and were directly sucked dry into mummies!

And the man’s skinny figure became full again.

He sighed in satisfaction, looking at the only remaining assistant officer from the branch, and said discontentedly, "I told you to bring Chen Mo, so why did you involve Tianshu Pavilion?"

The officer frowned and said, "How would I know he was also involved with the Holy Sect? Fu Li, hurry up and resolve this before it leads to more complications."

"No need for you to remind me..."

Fu Li casually discarded the two corpses, staring straight at Chen Mo with a cold voice:

"I once warned Wuxiang that Tiandu City’s vicinity was too dangerous, advising her not to linger too long, but she wouldn’t listen, ultimately dying at your hands."

"Although she deserved it and no one else was to blame, as her brother, I must do something."

Fu Li formed a spell with his hand, and the mire churned as a black stone array platform slowly emerged.

Intricate patterns were etched on the platform, with a white skull suspended above it. Red light shot out from the hollow eye sockets, weaving into a net that enveloped everyone within.

At this point, Chen Mo fully understood.

The Blood Demon went to such great lengths, leading everyone here, and it turned out he was the target?!

"Qin Wuxiang is your sister? But isn’t your last name Fu?" Chen Mo asked in confusion.

Fu Li smiled and said, "Who told you Fu Li was my real name? But it doesn’t matter, once I turn you into a blood puppet and merge you with me, you’ll naturally understand everything."

"Want to refine me? Let’s see if you have that ability."

Swish—

As soon as the words fell, a fierce blade light hung upside down like the Milky Way.

The accumulated Sword Intent wrapped with a shocking roar instantly tore through the void, and a dragon-shaped phantom charged at Fu Li.

The next moment, the officer flashed over, a short-handled octagonal hammer appearing out of nowhere in his hand, slanting upwards to block the path of the Broken Jade Blade.

Clang—

The clash of blade and hammer resounded like thunder.

The Qi Force exploded with the two as the epicenter, the violent wind howling, compressing the swamp by three inches within a hundred-feet radius!

Feeling the terrifying force transmitted from the palm, the officer’s face changed unwittingly, the skin on his hand being shattered inch by inch, and inside was another layer of skin, full of wrinkles, looking extremely old.

Chen Mo spun mid-air, the blade sliding along the hammer’s handle, twisting his body to slash towards the opponent’s throat.

The man’s pupils shrank at the sight, only able to discard his weapon and retreat, but still a step too slow, the blade slicing across his chest, creating a large opening, with blood splattering like rain!

He retreated several yards before stopping, the wound revealing pale bones and bloody organs!

This slash nearly cut him in half!

"No wonder he’s the Heavenly Element Martial Champion, a Fifth-Level Pure Yang practitioner, capable of such power?" The officer said with a heavy expression.

"So it was you." Seeing the exposed old skin, Chen Mo said coldly, "Giving up a good position as a Households Commander to collude with the Heavenly Demon?"

The officer, realizing his identity was exposed, simply stopped pretending, tearing the skin to reveal a weathered face.

"Households Commander Bai?!"

Everyone present was stunned, faces filled with confusion and disbelief.

"Heh, I only have a few years left to live, do you think I still care about the position of households commander?"

"And besides, this place is distant and secluded, nearly ten thousand miles from Tiandu City. If all of you are left here, who would know it was me?"

"Cough, cough..."

Saying this, Bai Lingchuan coughed violently, taking out a bottle of alchemy pills from his bosom and swallowing them.

The pills entered his stomach, causing the fierce wound on his chest to stop bleeding, with a hint of color returning to his face.

Turning his head to Fu Li, he said, "We agreed before, I’ll help you bring Chen Mo here, and you let me use the Erosion Light Hourglass..."

"Don’t worry, I always keep my word. Once I’ve refined this guy, you can use it for as long as you like."

Fu Li’s five fingers trembled like plucking the strings of a zither.

The mud boiled, countless remnants emerged, gradually adhering together under the weaving of scarlet curse light, forming extremely twisted grotesque creatures.

The massive bodies of those creatures resembled centipede segments, their skulls covered with densely packed compound eyes, their bodies blooming with rotten flesh, appearing extremely horrific.

They opened their large mouths, filled with sharp teeth, emitting piercing wails like that of a baby.

"Waaaoo!!"

The tangible sound waves spread out, causing the Sky Scale Guard to feel dizzy, and the few in the forefront, bearing the brunt, had blood streaming from their ears and noses.

Qiu Longgang was the first to recover, shouting aloud, "Fire Department, follow me to face the enemy!"

"Yes!"

Everyone swallowed the Anti-plague Pills, attached Strong Body Talismans, drew their weapons, and charged forward.

Blades and swords slashed down, black blood splattered, and the monster was quickly dismembered, only to be reassembled under the pull of the red light.

It simply couldn’t be killed!

Moreover, the venom spat out by the monster would corrode large patches of flesh upon contact!

As Fu Li urged the array, the net tightened continuously, and the space in which the group could move grew increasingly narrow.

If the red light touched the body, True Yuan would rapidly drain away. With the support of alchemy pills and talismans, they could barely hold on for now, but defeat was only a matter of time!

Ling Ningzhi attempted to strike the blood net with thunder, but the Qi Power was directly absorbed, unable to break it open.

"Stop wasting your effort. No one can escape my Devouring Element Blood Melting Array!"

Fu Li’s grin grew more hideous, his gaze towards Chen Mo was filled with deep resentment and a hint of greed.

Such a perfect body, truly rare in the world; if it could be refined into a Blood Puppet, its power would surely make a significant leap!

Wuxiang, you didn’t die unjustly!

"Is that so?"

Purple-golden light filled Chen Mo’s eyes, gazing at him quietly.

For some reason, coldness crept up Fu Li’s back, an inexplicable unease in his heart.

Clang——

The sound of a clang resounded, and a golden spear fell into his hand.

Feeling the sharp, unparalleled atmosphere, Fu Li tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "It’s useless. Once the Devouring Element Blood Melting Array is formed, it has no eye. Even with your martial arts prowess, no matter how strong, you cannot break the array from within."

Chen Mo injected True Yuan infused with Dragon Devouring Star Daoism into the spear.

Accompanied by a crisp and passionate hum, golden particles surged like a tide, dazzling and brilliant, like a blazing sun rising!

"As long as I kill you, the array will naturally collapse."

"What nonsense are you..."

Before Fu Li could finish speaking, Chen Mo’s figure inexplicably vanished!

Suddenly, Bai Lingchuan’s urgent shout came from his side:

"Be careful!"

?!

Fu Li had just turned around when his pupils shrank to needle points, dazzling golden light filling his vision, with a vague phantom of a green dragon appearing.

In the next moment, the sharp spear tip precisely pierced his heart meridian, emerging from his back!

"How is this possible..."

Fu Li’s gaze was somewhat blank.

It wasn’t until he saw the talisman attached to Chen Mo that he realized.

"Five Elements Escape Talisman?!"

Terror filled True Yuan poured in, leaving web-like cracks on the surface of his body, shining golden light streaming out.

Bang!

His body exploded with a bang!

Chen Mo knew his tricks were strange and didn’t dare to be careless. He activated Divine Skills, and the Glazed Flame burned fiercely, turning every inch of flesh into ash!

Yet, amidst the steaming flames, a faint light quietly flashed by.

"What is this..."

Chen Mo frowned slightly.

Looking closely, the object turned out to be a bronze Gnomon Plate.

In the inner circle of the plate were the twelve hours engraved, the outer circle inscribed with talisman scripts like tiny flyspecks, and in the center embedded the Meteorite Iron Needle, dark like a shadow, seemingly able to devour light.

The needle slightly trembled, and Chen Mo’s body suddenly froze.

It was as if he was frozen in ice, immobilized, unable to even twitch a finger!

"Erosion Light Hourglass!"

Bai Lingchuan paused his breath, eyes blazing, "A great opportunity!"

Just as he was about to strike and seize it, suddenly, two female voices echoed simultaneously from the mists:

"A great opportunity!"

Then, two figures flew in swiftly, one reaching for the Magical Treasure, the other for Chen Mo.

Chen Mo: ?

Bai Lingchuan: ?
