Chapter 472: Chapter 469: Shock
"Brother Mo!"
"Little Brother Mo!"
Liu Ruyan and Niu Kexin cried out in alarm. They rushed into the crater at almost the same time, kneeling beside Mo Qi on either side. Their eyes filled with tears as they stared at him, their faces etched with worry.
They didn’t know what state Mo Qi was in, so they didn’t dare touch him rashly, afraid that a single careless move would only worsen his injuries.
All they could do was watch him with immense heartache, completely at a loss.
"COUGH! COUGH!"
Mo Qi coughed violently twice, expelling the stifling feeling from his chest.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine."
Mo Qi sat up straight and dusted the dirt from his hair.
Seeing this, Liu Ruyan and Niu Kexin finally felt a weight lift from their hearts. They both threw themselves into Mo Qi’s arms, holding him tightly and refusing to let go.
"It’s so good that you’re okay, so good!"
"SOB... you scared me to death."
Mo Qi’s heart warmed. He chuckled foolishly, pulling both women into a hug, one in each arm, and greedily inhaled their fragrance.
’Mo the kid, I know this isn’t the best time to disturb you, but this Emperor must remind you that your performance was a bit over the top. Those old geezers up there are getting restless again.’
The Pig Emperor’s voice rang in Mo Qi’s mind.
’What do you plan to do?’
Mo Qi, still smiling foolishly, sent back a reply, ’It’s fine. I already have a new plan.’
’If they can restrain their greed, then all will be well. Otherwise... heheh, I’ll show them what it means for the losses to outweigh the gains!’
...
Meanwhile, high above in the Nine Heavens, the white-clothed youth who had been watching everything could no longer maintain his rigid expression. He stared intently at the Energy mushroom cloud, experiencing shock for the first time.
’That’s... that’s the aura of my Nether Race’s power!’
’And its grade is unimaginably high. Not even Her Majesty the Queen possesses it.’
’Could it be the legendary power of the Nether King?’
The white-clothed youth shook his head repeatedly in disbelief. ’Impossible! How could a human possess the power of the Nether King?! Besides, the Nether King is a figure of legend, and there’s never been any mention of him leaving a legacy behind. Otherwise, with Her Majesty the Queen’s talent, how could she have failed to find it!’
’But this kid really does have some skill. No wonder he piqued Her Majesty the Queen’s interest.’
’Hm?’
The white-clothed youth’s gaze pierced through the vast distance and fell upon Mo Qi, who had an arm around each woman. Instantly, uncontrollable rage flared within him.
’Damn it! Her Majesty the Queen braved the Immortal Realm alone for him, yet here he is, canoodling with other women!’
The white-clothed youth wished he could strike now and eliminate Liu Ruyan and Niu Kexin, but in the end, his reason prevailed, and he held back.
’That stupid wolf from the Demon Race is a useless piece of trash!’
The only reason he had spared the Wolf Demon’s life was to use it to kill Liu Ruyan.
He never expected Mo Qi to handle all the challenges by himself, leaving Liu Ruyan completely unaffected.
’Using someone else to eliminate Mo Qi’s women is fine, as long as it’s done discreetly.’
’But if I were to do it myself,’ the white-clothed youth knew, ’with Her Majesty the Queen’s temperament, she would never tolerate or forgive me once she found out.’
’Even if everything I do is for Her Majesty the Queen.’
’Her Majesty the Queen, this human kid may not be weak, but he is utterly unworthy of you! You are so pure, great, and kind!’
If the Saint Ancestors of the Immortal Realm ever learned that someone had described Queen Mo Yan as "kind," they would surely think that person was insane.
The white-clothed youth couldn’t stand Mo Qi’s behavior any longer, but he couldn’t act either. He had no choice but to depart and return to the Nether Race’s encampment. Out of sight, out of mind.
...
Bai Fa watched the Energy mushroom cloud slowly rise, his face a mask of utter confusion.
’Is this really something someone in the Vajra Realm can do?’
’Isn’t this just ridiculously powerful?!’
’Searching my heart, if I were the one trapped in the Five-Finger Cage Heaven-locking Array, I wouldn’t be able to break it even if I exhausted all my strength and burned my life force.’
’Let alone create a commotion like an Energy mushroom cloud!’
Inside the Treasure Tower Immortal Artifact, Huangfu Yu’s face was pale.
He had thought that after absorbing Huangfu Zhong’s Bloodline Essence and increasing his strength, he would finally be able to fight Mo Qi.
’But he never imagined that Mo Qi’s strength had leaped another huge step since their time in the Mortal District.’
Huangfu Yu knew that even if Mo Qi didn’t use his Immortal Level Combat Power, he still wouldn’t be his match.
"Do you still have the confidence to fight him?" the Wolf Demon asked, looking at Bai Fa.
Bai Fa was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile. "This human kid is just too bizarre. It’s like he has an endless supply of trump cards. And his Attack Power is just outrageous. If he hit me with a large-scale destructive move like that, not only would I be unable to withstand it, I wouldn’t even have anywhere to run."
"Then what’s your plan for this final battle?" the Wolf Demon asked.
Bai Fa was silent for a long time before saying, "If my Grotto Heaven Silver Moon could transform into a Dharma Idol, I might stand a chance. Unfortunately, I’m still far from that level. As it is now, my only hope of victory is to compete with him in the art of Shadow Assassination."
The Silver Moon Wolf, also known as the Shadow Wolf King, had almost no weaknesses. Its abilities were well-balanced in all aspects, but it also had its strengths, such as endurance and the art of Shadow Assassination.
The Wolf Demon pondered for a moment. "It’s worth a try, but it has to be a quick battle. We don’t have much time left."
"Also, when you move through the shadows, I’ll find a way to temporarily block the perception of the human experts. Seize that opportunity and kill that human girl as well!"
The Silver Moon Wolf nodded and walked straight into the clearing.
"Human, come up and fight!"
At the bottom of the crater, Mo Qi, with the fragrant and soft women in his arms, wore a look of pure ease and contentment.
The rare, tender moment made him reluctant to let it end.
Just then, Bai Fa’s challenge rang down. Mo Qi patted Liu Ruyan and Niu Kexin on the back and smiled. "There’s still one little wolf waiting for me to deal with. Once we get to the Demon Spirit Battlefield, I’ll treat you to a feast!"
Liu Ruyan and Niu Kexin exchanged a look, their worry plain on their faces.
"Brother Mo, you have to be careful."
"Little Brother Mo, your safety is the most important thing."
Mo Qi let go of the two women, stood up, and added, "I might be leaving for a while after this. It could be as short as a year, or as long as several decades."
Liu Ruyan and Niu Kexin were shocked. They were about to speak when Mo Qi raised a hand to stop them.
"Don’t worry, it’s all part of my plan. Nothing will go wrong. You two need to take good care of yourselves and focus on your Cultivation. We will meet again on the Demon Spirit Battlefield."
Liu Ruyan and Niu Kexin fell silent for a moment, then both nodded. They were intelligent women and knew that excessive sentimentality at a time like this would only hold Mo Qi back.
"Remember, don’t let anyone bully you. If it’s unavoidable and you can’t get revenge yourselves, write it all down and tell me later. I’ll handle it. But no matter what, you must not let anything happen to you."
"We know! You be careful too!"
Liu Ruyan and Niu Kexin stuck out their tongues playfully and kissed Mo Qi on each cheek.
The corners of Mo Qi’s mouth turned up. A blissful smile flashed across his face for an instant before being replaced by his usual foolish grin.
’It’s time to end this farce.’
