CHAPTER 218: YOU'RE RIGHT, I KILLED HIM WITH MY OWN HANDS!

We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

The black-clothed people rushed forward. Ning Wei's face turned pale as she threw the jade token Big Brother Xiao had given her forcefully toward the ground.

As the jade token shattered, its fragments rapidly turned to dust. In an instant, the dust formed a formation array.

A jade-colored light immediately appeared, with Ning Wei at the center, forming a blue protective barrier that sheltered her and her mother.

"Bang!"

When the black-clothed people's swords slashed toward the mother and daughter, the blue circular barrier suddenly trembled, simultaneously sending these two cultivators flying.

They struggled to climb up from the ground, wondering how the other party had such a treasure.

"Break the array with talismans!"

Although they didn't know where they got this protective magical artifact, any treasure had its limitations.

The more powerful the treasure, the better the realm and sufficient spiritual power needed to activate it.

And this type of treasure that ordinary people could use with just a throw had even greater limitations. Its grade couldn't be that high.

After all, if the grade was too high, ordinary people couldn't use it and might even suffer backlash.

So they got up and jointly summoned talismans, planning to break the array with talismans!

The talismans covered the blue barrier, producing explosion after explosion.

"Boom boom boom!"

With each blast, the furniture in the room was overturned, walls collapsed, and the entire house became ruins.

The blue halo surrounding the mother and daughter also grew increasingly weak.

However, even though the barrier had visible cracks appearing, it still hadn't shattered.

"Damn it, why hasn't this formation barrier broken yet?"

Several Forgetting River Sect disciples grew anxious.

The moment the other party threw down the jade token, the person who gave the token must have received a warning.

Perhaps they were already rushing over.

With no other choice, to complete the mission and avoid punishment from Senior Sister Liu and Senior Brother Qian, he painfully summoned a talisman.

This talisman was his trump card, containing a full-force strike from a Golden Core realm cultivator. But now he could only use it!

The instant the talisman dissipated, a sword qi slashed toward the formation.

Even as an ordinary woman, Madam Wang could feel that things looked grim.

She turned around, tightly hugging her daughter in her arms, closing her eyes but Madam Wang didn't feel any pain for a long time.

When Madam Wang opened her eyes, a man holding a Tang sword was standing in front of her.

The other black-clothed people stood dumbly in place, their eyes gradually losing focus.

When the end of Xiao Mo's long blade finally entered the scabbard, the several black-clothed people all exploded into blood mist, as if they had never appeared at all.

"Big Brother Xiao..." Ning Wei called out with tear-filled eyes.

"Young Master Xiao..." Madam Wang came to her senses and hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Young Master Xiao, for saving our lives!"

"As long as Madam and Weiwei are alright, that's good." Xiao Mo nodded.

"Young Master Xiao, who were those people? What's with this blood mist?" Madam Wang asked worriedly.

"Forgetting River Sect set up a blood sacrifice formation to refine the entire city. This blood mist is the precursor. And those people who just tried to kill you, Madam, were also Forgetting River Sect cultivators. I estimate they wanted to kill Madam and then take Ning Wei to Forgetting River Sect."

Xiao Mo answered briefly and truthfully.

"However, Madam need not worry. This formation can last for two more hours. You two stand within this formation and don't come out. Things will be over soon."

As his words fell, Xiao Mo turned and stepped forward, immediately disappearing from where he stood.

"Big Brother Xiao..." Ning Wei looked toward where Big Brother Xiao left, gently pressing her thin lips together.

"What is it, Weiwei?" Madam Wang looked at her daughter.

Ning Wei shook her head. "I don't know either. It's just... although Big Brother Xiao looks the same as usual, tonight Big Brother Xiao feels very frightening..."

…

In a residence at the center of Maple Leaf City, obscure and difficult-to-understand array patterns were carved.

Around these array patterns, various spirit stones and blood baleful objects were arranged.

These things together formed the array eye of Maple Leaf City's blood sacrifice formation.

Qian Zhenhao sat in command at the array eye, sensing Maple Leaf City's increasingly thick blood qi. The expression in his eyes grew increasingly excited.

At this moment, all the citizens and cultivators of Maple Leaf City had already fallen asleep.

When the hour of yin arrived, they would turn into blood mist in their sleep, becoming his nourishment.

By then, he would step into Cave Mansion perfection!

And dying in their sleep was also his final mercy to them!

These people should be grateful to him.

"Who are you?"

"Halt!"

"I said halt! Do you hear me!"

"Kill him!"

Just as Qian Zhenhao was immersed in his fantasy, the noisy voices of Forgetting River Sect disciples rang out from outside the courtyard but soon, all the voices disappeared simultaneously, as if they had closed their mouths at almost the same time.

"Bang!"

The next moment, the courtyard gate was kicked away by Xiao Mo, smashing onto several unlucky Forgetting River Sect cultivators, who died instantly on the ground.

Qian Zhenhao's brows furrowed. He raised his head to look, to see which cultivator was so arrogant!

But when Qian Zhenhao saw clearly the other person's face, his expression couldn't help but freeze. He even doubted whether he had seen wrong.

"Fifth Brother?"

Qian Zhenhao subconsciously called out.

Shouldn't Fifth Brother be in the courtyard being exploited by Senior Sister right now? How could he appear here?

How did he find this place?

Moreover, wasn't he a Foundation Building realm cultivator?

The disciples guarding outside were also at Foundation Building realm. He killed them within a few exchanges?

How was this possible?

"Fifth Brother, why did you come here?" Cold sweat appeared on Qian Zhenhao's forehead.

Qian Zhenhao didn't know why.

Clearly the aura Fifth Brother emanated was still Foundation Building realm but the other party standing there was like a god of slaughter.

As if just by casually swinging his blade once, he would be destroyed body and soul.

"Fourth Brother set up this blood sacrifice array to refine all the city's citizens?" Xiao Mo asked calmly.

"Fifth Brother, this is the Western Region, a place that devours people. Strength is everything. Otherwise, how do you think I achieved my realm?"

Since it was already exposed, Qian Zhenhao stopped hiding.

"And for these mortals to become nourishment on my cultivation path is their honor!"

"So even Third Brother was 'devoured' by you?" Xiao Mo looked directly into Qian Zhenhao's eyes, those profound eyes cold like water from an abyss.

"..."

Qian Zhenhao was speechless. Both sides fell into silence.

Only the night wind blew through the courtyard, causing the tree leaves to rustle.

"That's right!"

After a long while, Qian Zhenhao answered, looking coldly at Xiao Mo.

"Although I don't know how you learned of this, Fifth Brother, you're right. I killed him with my own hands!"

Qian Zhenhao looked at his right hand, the corners of his mouth twisting upward uncontrollably.

"To this day, I can't forget his expression. I can't forget the sensation of breaking through flesh when the long sword pierced his chest!"
