Under Gu Duxing's watchful gaze, Ji Mo put down his sword. The first thing he did was to pat his own backside, grimacing as if he was about to vomit. His face, not yet fully recovered from swelling, was now also swollen from crying. He tugged at his hair, which became disheveled, resembling a bird's nest.
Then, the two of them swiftly descended from the tree.
They took a roundabout route, heading in the opposite direction and fleeing over a hundred miles away.
In a panic, they rushed forward as if they were blindly running, the momentum so fierce that the air around them felt like a hurricane had suddenly struck over the entire Poplar Valley!
The experts from the Xiao Clan in the valley immediately became alert, raising their heads in unison.
At this moment, Ji Mo let out a thunderous roar, and with a bang, he lifted a mound of earth, shouting, "I’m going to fight you to the death... Today, either you die, or I perish..."
Gu Duxing sternly commanded, "Hand over that item! I will leave your corpse intact!"
Ji Mo laughed sorrowfully, his desolation filling the sky.
In front of everyone, a distant mountain suddenly flipped over, and in an instant, the entire earth trembled as if it was a tsunami.
Ji Mo then leaped forward, fiercely striking his chest with a palm, letting out a wailing cry as he bellowed, "I won't spare you even in death..."
With a spurt of blood, he fell through the air like a broken kite, flailing towards the direction of the mine.
Behind him, dust had already risen to obscure the sky, making it impossible to see five fingers in front of him!
It was as if countless ancient demons were chasing after him!
...
Many experts from the Xiao Clan leaped up, peering into the distance.
However, with dust clouds covering the area, how could they see anything?
All they saw was a figure seemingly losing control, tumbling down from mid-air with remarkable speed, making the experts near the mine hesitant to catch him or react in time.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Mo's body crashed down like a meteor onto the mountain, emitting a deafening scream—this scream was truly genuine!
To act in front of these experts, one could only do so authentically!
Master Ji Er's body crashed through dozens of yards of rock, violently falling into the mine, the sounds of collision echoing as if his bones had shattered into countless pieces!
Then he let out a pitiful groan, "Even if I die... you still won’t get that Amethyst Holy Crystal Soul..."
His eyes rolled back, and he fell into a genuine unconsciousness!
The Amethyst Holy Crystal Soul?
In the mine, a white-browed expert from the Xiao Clan in a purple robe looked shocked, "Keep him alive!"
The previously startled experts from the Xiao Clan, who wished nothing more than to turn Ji Mo into ashes, suddenly froze upon hearing the term 'Amethyst Holy Crystal Soul.'
Amidst the dust and fog, a figure in black robes suddenly appeared, emanating terrifying killing intent from his eyes. He coldly shouted, "If I can't have it, then no one else shall!"
Suddenly, a long sword gleamed as he swung it fiercely in the air, delivering a powerful downward strike!
A sword Qi, nearly splitting heaven and earth, descended like lightning! The radiant sword Qi cleaved the mountain in half, mercilessly aimed at Ji Mo's unconscious body!
"Block it!" came a fierce shout!
Below, over a dozen Xiao Clan experts, regardless of their rank, simultaneously struck out to counter it!
Gu Duxing had already exerted nine parts of his strength in this strike! It was indeed extraordinarily fierce; before attacking, he feared the Xiao Clan might not fall for his trick and did not use his full power.
Seeing the Xiao Clan members take action, he felt relieved and unleashed all of his twelve parts of strength!
A series of thunderous booms erupted as the seventeen Xiao Clan supremes attacked, with four of the lower-ranked ones spitting blood and being sent flying, while the others staggered, their eyes filled with fear. This suddenly appeared man in black was remarkably powerful!
