In favorable environments, these kinds of people were naturally successful in every endeavor. But the instant they met a dangerous situation, they would instantly lose all their will to fight, surrendering almost immediately without a shred of resistance!
It was precisely to prevent this that Jun Mo Xie had persisted in pushing the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer teams in such a harsh manner, allowing them to temper themselves in situations of life and death, gaining strength through adversity! Only like that could one gain true ability!
No matter how strong or how big a tiger in the zoo was, even if it was two times larger than another tiger in the jungle, the instant the two fought, the result would be clear to see! This was the same meaning.
The black robed man had already taken a full 27 steps backwards! Only then, did the black sword hover up and inch away from the black robed man's eyeballs. At this moment, he'd already returned to the same spot before Jun Mo Xie and Miao Xiao Miao!
The entire scene had caused Miao Xiao Miao to be completely stunned.
Just what was going on? What kind of a sword was this?
And just who was the owner of such a fiendish sword?
Looking at Jun Mo Xie, she saw that this Free and Natural Physique young prodigy's face was similarly filled with confusion and shock! Quite clearly, he also didn't know the origins of this sword!
Stiffening slightly, Miao Xiao Miao turned and bowed respectfully to the sword."I wonder which Senior had saved the lives of us two juniors... May I request for Senior to show yourself for a moment for this little junior to thank you!"
The night remained silent and nobody answered.
Only the soft hum of the sword remained. Suddenly, the sword flashed, and with a light sound, it pierced through the black robed man's Qihai acupoint, exiting through his back. A tiny ball of red colored liquid could be seen glistening atop the edge of the blade, slowly losing its luster...
The black robed man howled with pain and collapsed to the ground! That ball of blood was the essence of all his cultivation! And it'd been completely consumed by that sword! Furthermore, it had also shattered his dantian!
At this moment, he was already a useless cripple!
Such a sudden reality was even more painful to accept for him than death! Screaming with rage and pain, he directly fainted. The last thought that fleeted through his mind was: It's all finished!
A bright light flashed from the devilish sword, and an indescribable evil spirit rushed out, instantly sweeping across the entire area like a hurricane. Everywhere it went, all the plants and green grasses withered, as if they had been eroded by a horde of evil spirits!
After that, the sword resumed its lofty kingly aura as it hovered in the air, glowing gently like a bright moon in the night sky, casting its radiance on the common people!
A look of heartfelt affection flashed in Miao Xiao Miao's eyes as she looked at it!
Such a beautiful sword was something that no one could dislike!
Just as Miao Xiao Miao thought that the mysterious expert was about to appear, the sword hummed lowly again and directly flew off, shooting into the sky as if it wished to tear through the heavens!
When it reached a height of around a dozen zhang , a sword keen rang out, and the sword completely disappeared from the night sky!
The land returned to darkness once again.
All of a sudden, the sounds of bugs chirping and toads croaking resumed all at once, and the earth was suddenly filled with life again.
It was as if nothing had happened here at all.
This place where seven people had lost their lives consecutively actually did not have the smell of blood at all!
"We're saved! A mysterious expert has saved us." Miao Xiao Miao's face was filled with worship as she muttered."When we return, I'll tell grandfather about this! I'm sure he'll know who this senior was. I will make sure to properly thank this mysterious senior later!"
In Miao Xiao Miao's heart, someone who could use such mysterious methods, yet did not seek the gratitude of others, simply leaving so straightforwardly was undoubtedly a person with great virtue and prestige. Or perhaps, it wouldn't be strange for this reclusive expert to be that elusive old ancestor of the Misty Illusory Manor...
Jun Mo Xie's expression became somewhat conflicted as the previous fear returned to his face.
"I say, do you finally know how to be frightened now? Could it be that you didn't hear my voice transmission just now? You knew that it was dangerous, yet you chose to barge in like an idiot."
Miao Xiao Miao looked at Jun Mo Xie and scolded huffily."Do you know just how close that situation just now had been? To think you could still chat away so leisurely with that masked man, bargaining with him. If that mysterious expert had been later by even a step, the both of us would have been doomed..."
As she spoke, she thought back to the horrifying fate that the black robed man had described for her. In that moment, she could not help but shiver violently, as her face turned pale.
"En, but you can't blame me ah... to hear your voice in my head in such a secluded place, anyone would think that they're dreaming..."
Jun Mo Xie explained with an embarrassed smile. At the same time, he mused in his heart. Not to mention six Venerables waiting here, even if they were six Saint Emperors, it wouldn't necessarily be much of a threat! What kind of danger would there be?!
If it's a trap that even this Young Master couldn't handle, what difference would it make even if you warned me! Of course, those words could not be said so straightforwardly! But speaking of which, why did you brat jump out for no good reason? Just your presence here had caused me so much more trouble! Of course, those words also couldn't be said so lightly...
"Dreaming? Dream your stupid idiot head!" Miao Xiao Miao's eyes widened and she stamped her foot angrily. But... could it be that this fellow was thinking about me when he was walking by himself? Otherwise, how could he think that he was still dreaming when he heard my voice?
In the end, the scare that she'd received was simply to great. But this Mo Jun Ye in front of her seemed to be quite unfazed still, causing Miao Xiao Miao to feel even more ridiculous."Look at yourself, you don't have the capability to go against them, but you actually had the gall to stand there and provoke those people with your words, cursing their family. What would you do if the saviour hadn't arrived? If that senior arrived late by even one step, wouldn't your little life be over?"
Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes in an exasperated manner."Why can't I scold them? It's precisely because I'm not a match for them that I should curse them all the more! Did you think that with those guys hiding here to ambush me, they would let me go if I didn't curse them? No matter what I choose, the result is still death! In that case, why can't I scold them? Even if it's just to satisfy and vent my anger before getting killed, it's still better than die pleading them!"
Miao Xiao Miao found that her words had rebounded against an extremely hard and stubborn wall, and she suddenly could not reply.
This Mo Jun Ye, no matter what he said or did, had his own weird logic for everything. This weird logic might not necessarily be right, but it wasn't exactly wrong either! In any case, just listening to his words gave one an odd feeling, but it was impossible to pick out what was weird about it.
Just like now, the two of them had just escaped from a deadly crisis, but he could still stand there and spout his own weird logic so forthrightly. Yet she couldn't retort his words at all...
"Whatever! That senior who saved us today was simply too cool and too formidable!" Miao Xiao Miao ignored this Great Prodigy Mo and instantly switched the topic, chirping excitedly."My god, that was the complete Sword Control Technique ah... I've only heard of it before, but I've never actually seen it with my own eyes... Seeing it today, it's simply too... too..."
After thinking for a long time, Miao Xiao Miao still couldn't find suitable words to describe it. However, this did not hinder her excitement at all."Did you know? There's only less than 10 people in the entire Misty Illusory Manor who are capable of such a thing! Furthermore, all of them are seniors who've lived for a shockingly long time... Ai, also, that sword was simply too beautiful... too dreamy... If only I could have a sword like that... ai..."
As she said that, her eyes grew misty and she actually sunk into a fanciful dream while speaking.
It was best to not attempt to guess the mind of a girl. One moment, she could be speaking to you about one thing, and the next moment, she would be talking about an entirely different matter. It was simply too...
Jun Mo Xie looked at the unconscious black robed man on the ground, and he shook his head speechlessly as he finally interrupted the excited girl."I say, Miss Miao, this fellow is still alive. Should we wake him up and interrogate him? This is the only survivor we have left!"
At the same time, he scolded internally. Can you stop being so amazed for a moment... the powerful senior whom you revere so much is right in front of you, listening to your crazy antics. Can we talk about the proper matters first...
"This... it doesn't seem that appropriate for us to question this person. Let's bring him back first, and there will naturally be someone more suitable to question him."
Miao Xiao Miao seemed to have already made up her decision on this matter long ago. Finally retracting her excitement, she said, "It doesn't matter whose subordinate this black robed man is, or which large family he belongs to. Today's matter is absolutely unforgivable. We are ultimately still inexperienced juniors, so there are many things we wouldn't understand that clearly. If we act impulsively, it could end up with irrevocable mistakes. In that case, we might as well toss the difficult matter to the elders. In any case, they're currently extremely free with nothing to do..."
Jun Mo Xie had not expected that this little brat's mind would be so bright. Without needing him to remind her, she had already thought of this.
Since Miao Xiao Miao had given such a good suggestion, Young Master Jun didn't see any need to oppose the decision. Changing the topic, he asked, "Miss Miao, it's quite a normal thing for me to be travelling on this road, but why are you here as well?"
When this matter was raised, Miao Xiao Miao instantly became flustered, and she hurriedly shifted her eyes, looking at her feet in a mortified manner.
"It's one thing for you to be here, but why did you jump out in such a dangerous situation? The situation just now was already decided. If a saviour hadn't appeared, I would definitely be dead without a doubt... Even if you showed yourself, it wouldn't have changed anything."
