During this time, Lai Hui, under the pincer attack of Vermilion Bird and White Tiger, was constantly retreating. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he fled.
Vermilion Bird and White Tiger began searching for Mo Qi in the mountains again.
Vermilion Bird's Thousand-Mile Tracking Technique was not to be trifled with, and he quickly located Mo Qi's position.
The two then moved stealthily towards Mo Qi.
Meanwhile, Mo Qi was still comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, continuing his cultivation in an attempt to improve himself.
At this moment, Zhu Yan from within the Xuanji Disk suddenly spoke, "Two people are approaching. They don't seem friendly."
Coincidentally, at this very moment, Mo Qi comprehended a new law of heaven and earth. He forcefully ceased his cultivation.
"Wutian Divine Seal!" Vermilion Bird sensed Mo Qi making a move and attacked the cave.
An imprint shot towards the cave, with countless tentacles extending from it, wrapping around Mo Qi.
A green lotus flower appeared above Mo Qi's head. The green lotus suddenly emitted a beam of light, and with a rustling sound, like shattering glass, the tentacles instantly broke.
Then the imprint also began to disintegrate, like a collapsing mountain.
Vermilion Bird felt a surge of powerful spiritual energy and hastily retreated, moving dozens of feet away.
Mo Qi immediately rushed out of the cave and confronted the two.
Vermilion Bird narrowly dodged an attack but felt no great pressure. Instead, he said with a hint of disdain, "You've surprised me, but you're still far from enough."
White Tiger whispered a reminder, "This person is a bit strange. We should be careful."
"If the two of us go together, are we afraid we can't defeat him?" Vermilion Bird glanced at him and said.
"If we go together, then there's nothing to fear. I thought you were going to go alone," White Tiger said with a smile.
Then he looked at Mo Qi, "However, we can give you a chance to live. As long as you hand over the Xuanji Disk and the Myriad Law Moon Wheel, we will definitely let you die... let you live."
"Are you letting me die or live?"
Vermilion Bird said impatiently, "Stop wasting words with him, just kill him. I see he has many items on him. If we kill him, everything on him will be mine... ours."
As he spoke, Vermilion Bird unleashed the "Wutian Divine Seal" again. The imprint rapidly expanded, with runes flowing, striking Mo Qi like tentacles.
Mo Qi was furious. "You want to kill people and steal treasures? I'll take your lives first."
He immediately formed a hand seal, and the Green Lotus Fire appeared from above his head. His entire body was enveloped in a green light, his appearance solemn and majestic. He stepped forward, one step at a time, as if in the cycle of reincarnation, without end.
The green light was dazzling, rippling outwards like waves on water.
Vermilion Bird extended his hand, and a treasure sword appeared in his palm, its red light shining brilliantly.
With a casual wave of the sword, a surge of red light erupted, whistling forward, shattering the stones and soil on the ground, kicking up dust and debris that lingered in the air.
The red light met the green light, producing earth-shattering explosions.
The green and red lights scattered like fragments into the air, mixing with the flying dust and debris, creating a colorful spectacle.
At this moment, White Tiger circled behind Mo Qi and unleashed "Wuxiang Kaitian Hand!"
A massive palm struck towards Mo Qi. Mid-way, it flickered, and one palm print miraculously transformed into countless palm prints, layered upon each other, continuously striking Mo Qi.
From a distance, the surge of energy was like a surging flood, pressing down on Mo Qi, causing him to lean forward, almost losing his balance.
Just then, Vermilion Bird leaped up, brandishing his sword, and thrust it towards Mo Qi with an imposing aura.
With enemies attacking from both front and back, Mo Qi had no choice but to use spatial techniques to evade.
After dodging, the two attackers unleashed their full power at each other.
Their attacks seemed capable of swallowing the heavens and devouring the earth, unstoppable.
"Laws of Heaven and Earth, Windless Waves!"
As the two were about to attack each other, with all their attacks aimed at their opponent, they immediately tried to stop themselves and then dodge.
However, at this moment, an invisible force arose from nowhere, like the wind, yet without any wind. But Vermilion Bird and White Tiger truly felt a tremendous brute force pushing their bodies towards each other.
The two were greatly alarmed and tried to dodge, but it was to no avail.
All their fierce attacks landed on each other, with continuous explosions, chaotic bursts of light and energy, and splashes of blood.
The two bodies were sent flying backward, landing on the ground, struggling to get up.
"Myriad Law Moon Wheel!"
The moon-shaped magic treasure whizzed out, emitting pure white light and a whistling sound, like a wheel grinding through the air.
Light white mist descended, instantly enveloping the bodies of the two.
The two bodies twisted rapidly, instantly turning into white mist that diffused into the air.
Mo Qi beckoned, and the Myriad Law Moon Wheel returned to his hand.
"Not bad, not bad," Mo Qi nodded with a smile.
Ye Xiaowei sprinted for a distance, almost out of the mountainous area, but finding no sign of Mo Qi, she turned back.
At this time, the sounds of fighting could still be heard continuously.
She suddenly realized that Mo Qi might have met with misfortune, and her heart ached immensely.
She then rushed towards the direction of the fighting, thinking that at the very least, she needed to understand the situation. If Mo Qi had already met with misfortune, she would avenge him immediately.
A moment later, a figure flashed by.
This was Lai Hui, who had been repelled by Vermilion Bird and White Tiger. He had not intended to leave. He was waiting for an opportunity to reap the benefits, so he had been hiding nearby.
Seeing a woman with a graceful figure and a pure face approaching from a distance, he suddenly harbored malicious intentions.
He directly lunged towards Ye Xiaowei.
As he got closer, Ye Xiaowei felt as if a mountain was crashing into her. The overwhelming pressure made it difficult for her to breathe.
She instinctively dodged to the side.
However, the huge dark figure turned and pursued her like a shadow, quickly reaching her.
Ye Xiaowei felt her blood surging, her entire body seeming about to explode.
She sensed the opponent's power and lacked even the confidence to resist, her only thought was to escape.
But by then, it was too late to escape.
The dark figure enveloped her, and she felt as if she was about to be crushed into a pulp.
She felt a sense of dejection.
Death was not frightening, but she was unwilling.
She wanted to help her younger brother Yun achieve his great cause and restore the former glory of the Red Leaf Kingdom, but she died before her ambitions were realized.
And to die in such a manner was truly humiliating.
But how could she decide how she died?
If she could decide how she died, she could decide not to die.
If she couldn't decide, she could only wait for death.
However, the dark figure suddenly stopped as it approached Ye Xiaowei.
But the residual force alone knocked Ye Xiaowei down, sending her flying through the air.
Lai Hui moved like lightning, his hand as fast as electricity, and grabbed one of her arms.
Ye Xiaowei struggled with all her might, "Who are you? Let go of me."
"Beauty, don't be nervous. Play with this grandpa, and grandpa won't treat you badly."
Saying this, Lai Hui pulled Ye Xiaowei's arm towards his embrace.
With a "snap," Ye Xiaowei slapped Lai Hui. The blow made Lai Hui see stars, and his cheek immediately swelled.
Lai Hui, in pain, instinctively let go of Ye Xiaowei.
Lai Hui's eyelids twitched, and madness appeared in his eyes, "This little lady is good, she's got spirit!"
As he spoke, he extended his right hand again to grab Ye Xiaowei.
His fingers carried a gust of wind, attempting to tear her clothes as he swept across her body.
Ye Xiaowei retreated rapidly, feeling her clothes about to slip off.
Ye Xiaowei was both ashamed and angry, feeling that she could not escape this devil's clutches today.
Death was not frightening, but she feared suffering humiliation before death.
So she raised a palm and struck towards her own crown.
Lai Hui was shocked and hurriedly changed his sweeping motion to a grab, his hand moving like lightning to seize Ye Xiaowei's hand, trying to prevent her suicide.
Ye Xiaowei's palm was caught just as it neared her crown.
Madness appeared in Lai Hui's eyes again, and he forcefully pulled Ye Xiaowei into his embrace once more.
Ye Xiaowei struggled with all her might, trying desperately to prevent her body from flying towards him.
Thus, her arm became the sole object of contention.
With a crack, Lai Hui heard the sound of Ye Xiaowei's bone breaking.
Lai Hui was stunned. He hadn't expected this woman to be so resolute.
He hesitated. If he continued to pull, he might tear her arm off entirely.
In that case, it wouldn't be fun to play with.
He had no choice but to temporarily release Ye Xiaowei's arm.
Ye Xiaowei cried out in agony, and large beads of sweat streamed down her face.
She endured the severe pain and took the opportunity to flee into the distance.
Lai Hui was unwilling to let her go and pursued her like a shadow, "Beauty, you can't escape."
"Beast, you can't escape." A voice descended from the sky, making Lai Hui's heart tremble.
Because the voice was so close, as if it came from right beside him, it made him terrified.
Who was so powerful to arrive beside him so silently that he didn't even know?
Lai Hui immediately stopped and looked around. After a quick glance, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he saw someone rapidly approaching, and they were still quite far away.
Ye Xiaowei heard the voice and was overjoyed. Realizing that Lai Hui was not pursuing her, she turned in circles and headed towards Mo Qi, "Younger Brother Yun, you're not dead yet?"
Lai Hui saw a young man with a delicate face approaching rapidly, looking dusty and panting, his face in disarray. He immediately became furious, "Kid, you ruined my good deed. You've come looking for death."
Ye Xiaowei also noticed Mo Qi's disheveled state and realized that he might not be able to deal with this insane demon. She turned around to face Lai Hui, "Younger Brother Yun, you should escape quickly. I'll hold him off."
Mo Qi looked at Ye Xiaowei's dangling arm, his eyes welling up with tears.
He said with tear-filled eyes, "Sister, you're quite fierce!"
Ye Xiaowei, not understanding, turned to look at him.
Mo Qi stepped forward and handed her a pill, "Take this pill and stand behind me. Your younger brother will protect you."
Ye Xiaowei took the pill and ate it but refused to hide behind Mo Qi. Mo Qi then tried to bypass her directly.
Ye Xiaowei reached out her other hand and grabbed him, "Younger Brother Yun, you have a heavy responsibility. Don't be willful."
Mo Qi gently pried her hand open, "Sister, if I can't protect you, if I can't protect my own family, then what's the point of the responsibility? What does it matter if I die here?"
Ye Xiaowei's tears immediately streamed down her face, "You rascal!"
Mo Qi gently patted her head, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I kill hundreds of these petty guys like this every year."
With that, he turned to face Lai Hui directly, his gaze sharp, "Your time of death has come."
