Nan Gong Zhen Dong ran while looking back, seeing a point of light closely following him and getting nearer, which terrified him to no end.
He was already at a disadvantage fighting two opponents alone, his only reliance being the formation. He had originally planned to capture both of them with it.
The formation's power initially impressed him, and everything seemed to be developing according to his expectations, but unexpectedly, things changed in an instant. He still found it unbelievable.
Now that the formation was broken, he could only place his hope in those mysterious powers.
So, as he fled, he shouted, "Eunuch Wang, why don't you show yourself?"
At this moment, a figure approached from the side.
Simultaneously, a red light flashed towards Mo Qi with extreme speed. Seeing its fierce approach, Mo Qi had no choice but to continue using the Golden Light Shrinking Ground Technique, dodging rapidly to the side.
The red light still grazed Mo Qi. Mo Qi revealed his true form and fell towards the clouds.
Seeing that help had arrived, Nan Gong Zhen Dong gained confidence. At the same time, seeing Mo Qi injured, he intended to finish him off in one go. Thus, as soon as he landed, he pursued him.
Several people landed on a desolate ground. Nan Gong Zhen Dong realized that the arrival was none other than Du Gu Wu Di, not Eunuch Wang.
He was somewhat disappointed!
But at this moment, he couldn't afford to be picky. Anyone with Human Immortal cultivation was already a lifesaver.
Du Gu Wu Di happened to be at the Human Immortal cultivation level. If they joined forces, they could also kill Mo Qi.
Although Mo Qi had no prior dealings with Du Gu Wu Di, he recognized him and was somewhat taken aback: "Are your Du Gu family members also going to get involved in this matter?"
Du Gu Wu Di smiled slightly, his hands behind his back, adopting an extremely dashing demeanor: "It's best to forgive when one can. Teacher Mo, could you grant me some face today and let him go?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Mo Qi was displeased, but even Nan Gong Zhen Dong was unwilling: "Nephew Du Gu, don't waste your breath with him. If the two of us join forces, we can completely kill him."
Mo Qi snorted coldly: "You've seen it. We are irreconcilable. Even if I wanted to let him go, he couldn't let me go. So today, it's either he dies, or I die."
Just as Du Gu Wu Di was about to speak, Nan Gong Zhen Dong attacked, "Sky Curtain Sword!"
A black curtain suddenly swept towards Mo Qi. Mo Qi wanted to finish him off quickly because the longer it dragged on, the more people would come to his rescue.
So, he adopted a mutually destructive fighting style, sword in hand, and charged towards the black curtain.
With the Pangu Divine Power empowering the Flying Immortal Beyond the Heavens, his figure flashed, as if he had transformed into a bolt of lightning.
The black curtain suddenly lit up, as if a bolt of lightning had pierced into it.
Immediately after, Nan Gong Zhen Dong felt a chill in his chest!
It was cold and empty!
As if something had been dug out.
He looked down and was so terrified that his soul almost left his body. His heart was gone!
Intense pain struck him. Nan Gong Zhen Dong let out a scream, fell backward onto the ground, and met his demise!
Mo Qi revealed his true form, also covered in blood, swaying unsteadily in the air.
He quickly consumed a healing pill.
At the same time, he pocketed the Sky Curtain Sword!
Du Gu Wu Di's face, however, revealed killing intent. Killing someone right in front of him, did he not exist?
As he was speaking, Mo Qi made a move. Didn't he have any dignity?
Moreover, Mo Qi was so heavily injured; this was probably the best moment to kill him!
Just as Du Gu Wu Di was about to strike, light flickered, and two people landed before them.
It was Xiao Yin and Murong Yanran!
Seeing Nan Gong Zhen Dong dead on the ground, Murong Yanran's tears welled up. Seeing Mo Qi swaying and unable to stand steadily, she immediately stepped forward to support him.
"Teacher Mo!" Murong Yanran called out after a moment of hesitation.
Tears streamed down her face, not just because Nan Gong Zhen Dong was dead, but more importantly, the "remnant" of the Murong family they spoke of was him?
That meant he still acknowledged her in his heart.
However, previously, with the Murong family's backing, she had enough confidence to call him "husband."
Now, she had nothing, and he was so outstanding. How could she be worthy of him?
Therefore, she stiffly changed her address to "Teacher Mo."
Mo Qi also noticed the change in her address.
For some reason, he found the previous address annoying, but now that she had changed it, he felt unaccustomed to it.
In comparison, the previous address seemed more intimate.
Yet, she no longer called him that.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
Seeing Murong Yanran's joyous tears, Xiao Yin naturally understood some of the situation.
She finally understood why Murong Yanran had been so eager to know which teacher had written her love letter that day.
Why she had ignored Du Gu Wu Di.
Du Gu Wu Di, seeing Murong Yanran's closeness to Mo Qi, was greatly disheartened.
Originally, writing a love letter to Murong Yanran was just a scheme by the Nan Gong family. The goal was to lure her out of her room or even the academy, and then have someone from the Nan Gong family assassinate her.
Later, after being ruthlessly rejected by Murong Yanran, it ignited his desire to conquer.
At some point, he genuinely wanted to pursue Murong Yanran.
However, Murong Yanran didn't even spare him a glance.
This made him furious. Was it because of Mo Qi?
He had already wanted to kill Mo Qi, and now, he felt even more that Mo Qi deserved to die!
"Die for me!" Du Gu Wu Di roared, pushing his hands forward. A pillar of light shot towards Mo Qi.
Mo Qi calmly straightened his body, took a step forward, and stood in front of Murong Yanran. He conjured the Dragon-Subduing Pearl and thrust it forward, immediately scattering the pillar of light and knocking Du Gu Wu Di to the ground.
Mo Qi retrieved the Dragon-Subduing Pearl, took a few more steps forward, his body straight, his spirit refreshed, showing no signs of injury.
Du Gu Wu Di was extremely shocked: "Weren't you seriously injured just now?"
Mo Qi raised an eyebrow: "I recovered long ago. I deliberately pretended to be injured because I wanted to see your true stance. You really couldn't withstand the test! Now tell me, is your Du Gu family colluding with the Nan Gong family to deal with the Murong family?"
Murong Yanran was also shocked, staring at Du Gu Wu Di, then returning to a state of calm.
Did it matter if they were involved or not?
The Murong family no longer existed anyway!
And there were still "remnants" of the Murong family!
Du Gu Wu Di struggled to get up, his eyes flickering, and he vehemently denied: "Don't slander me. How could our Du Gu family be involved in that matter?"
Just then, a beam of light broke through the air and shot towards Du Gu Wu Di. It was clearly very slow, appearing easy to dodge.
Du Gu Wu Di dodged to the side with his full speed. However, to everyone's surprise, just as he was about to escape the boundary, the light suddenly expanded horizontally, hitting Du Gu Wu Di. Without even a grunt, Du Gu Wu Di turned to ashes.
Everyone was stunned!
Who wanted him dead?
Following the light, they saw a figure descend to the ground.
This person was very short, a head shorter than an average person.
He had a triangular head, triangular eyes, a slightly stout build, and looked somewhat human, yet not entirely.
"It's a Turen!" Murong Yanran said from behind Mo Qi.
In recent days, Turen had been appearing in various parts of the Southern Continent. Many people had not seen them firsthand but had heard their legends.
Turen? Mo Qi had also heard about them from Cang Shan when he was recounting events in the Southern Continent.
But seeing them today was still a novel experience!
"Oh? You call us Turen?" the person said, squinting his eyes. "Turen it is, it doesn't matter. My name is Tu Bie."
This? Was it too casual?
Seeing everyone stunned, the person chuckled: "Did you really believe that? How could anyone have such a name? My name is Wang Kui. Hahaha..."
He thought it was very funny, but looking around, no one laughed.
An awkward silence ensued.
Wang Kui coughed dryly and looked at Mo Qi: "You're good, I think you're good."
This was inexplicable. Did he need Wang Kui's admiration?
Mo Qi raised his chin, ignoring him.
"Previously, we did cooperate with the Nan Gong family, the Li family, and the Du Gu family. We helped them clean up some trash, and they helped us establish a foothold and ascend to the Heavenly Court together, but we didn't expect them to be so weak. Cooperating with such weak people is beneath us. So, to show my sincerity, I killed the person just now. From now on, you will cooperate with us and be our inside informant," Wang Kui said to Mo Qi without room for negotiation.
It wasn't surprising that the Nan Gong and Li families were involved in such dealings, but Mo Qi was somewhat surprised that the Du Gu family was also involved.
Hearing Wang Kui's subsequent words, Mo Qi laughed in exasperation: "You're thinking too naively. If I cooperate with you, I might as well be your servant. Moreover, you killed your ally today to win me over. How do I know you won't kill me to befriend someone even more powerful?"
Wang Kui, who had been smiling jovially at first, suddenly put on a stern face, exuding a commanding aura.
Everyone's hearts tightened involuntarily.
"Do you think I'm negotiating with you? I'm giving you a chance to live longer. You're ungrateful," Wang Kui said coldly.
As he spoke, Wang Kui formed his fingers into a claw. A claw shadow shot out, like a ghostly hand reaching for Mo Qi, moving at lightning speed and rapidly expanding.
Judging by its momentum, it was like a demonic claw from hell reaching for the fragile beings of the mortal world, utterly unstoppable.
Mo Qi could even feel the sound of his chest and abdomen being torn open in advance.
He dared not face it head-on and hastily used the Golden Light Shrinking Ground Technique, dodging rapidly to the side.
However, when he looked up, he saw the claw shadow appearing in front of him again, as if by magic.
Judging by its trajectory, it seemed he was flying directly into the claw, entering the demonic palm voluntarily.
Mo Qi changed his move with incredible speed, instantly reverting to his true form.
"Pangu Divine Power!"
A divine light flashed and cut into the claw shadow.
It was like a chilling wind howling past.
Mo Qi's expectation was that the claw shadow would be split in two and then dissipate.
But to his surprise, the claw shadow remained unchanged, continuing to grab towards Mo Qi with the same speed and power.
Mo Qi was greatly alarmed. The distance was too close, and there was no way to stop it.
Heart-wrenching pain struck him in advance. He could perfectly anticipate that at this speed and power, the palm shadow would tear him to shreds.
