Chapter 141: Chapter 136: Furnace Tripod Technique! Slaughter

With Elder Mo around, it would have been child’s play for Mo Tianxing to capture Xu Xiuyun.

However, Elder Mo also wanted to train Mo Tianxing, so while they waited, he had Mo Tianxing come up with a way to get his hands on Xu Xiuyun without his intervention.

Mo Tianxing was quite interested in this challenge.

The Mo Family’s Yin Yang Sect had no shortage of methods to bewitch people’s minds, and He Suzhu became the first victim. Under Mo Tianxing’s influence, she came to see the Xu Family as the enemy who had annihilated her He Family.

To get her revenge, He Suzhu became completely obedient to Mo Tianxing.

Mo Tianxing thought he was doing quite well, believing he could annihilate the Xu Family on his own without Elder Mo’s help.

But unfortunately, something had gone wrong. Not only had he failed to destroy the Xu Family with his own methods, but he had also nearly lost his own life.

In their chase, one pursuing and one fleeing, the two had arrived before the small tree.

Under the cover of night, it was only then that they saw someone digging up the small tree on the mountain peak.

"You!"

When Xu Xiuyun saw this, she was so overcome with rage and anxiety that she nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Xu Family had buried a miniature Array beneath this small tree. She had come here intending to use the Array’s power to severely wound Mo Tianxing.

Without it, she stood no chance against him.

But with this person digging it up, the Array was now completely useless.

Xu Xiuyun’s plan had been completely foiled.

And while Xu Xiuyun was distracted, Mo Tianxing caught up and struck her with his palm.

The various protective spells on Xu Xiuyun’s body were all ineffective. Mo Tianxing’s blow sent her crashing to the ground, a large mouthful of blood spraying from her lips.

"This tree... could it be some kind of treasure?"

Mo Tianxing looked at Jiang Zuo with great interest.

Jiang Zuo ignored him, pretending not to hear as he continued to dig with his head down.

"Hmph! Look at me!"

Mo Tianxing snorted coldly.

Hearing his voice, Jiang Zuo involuntarily looked over.

Mo Tianxing’s eyes shone with a strange light.

As Jiang Zuo stared into those eyes, his own gaze grew vacant. He then stood rooted to the spot, completely still.

"A mere mortal dares to defy my command? You court death!"

Mo Tianxing sneered, completely unaware that a blood-red figure was already standing behind him.

’Let’s see what kind of treasure this tree is.’

Mo Tianxing walked over, wanting to take a closer look at the small tree and see what was so strange about it.

But as he turned his back to Jiang Zuo, Jiang Zuo suddenly lunged from behind and locked him in a tight bear hug.

"How are you still able to move?!"

Mo Tianxing was shocked and furious.

Jiang Zuo didn’t answer. The strength in his arms just grew greater and greater.

’Is he kidding me? I may not have started Cultivation, but I’ve already opened my Sea of Consciousness, and the Mysterious Stele resides within it.’

’Thinking he could control me with a mere Charm Technique was pure wishful thinking.’

Jiang Zuo’s muscles began to enter a state of complete release.

The man who had looked so harmless instantly transformed into a Humanoid Fierce Beast.

At first, Mo Tianxing wasn’t too afraid, thinking he could break free with a little effort.

But then he felt the power coming from Jiang Zuo’s iron-like arms growing stronger and stronger, as if it were endless.

Mo Tianxing couldn’t help but panic.

"Don’t kill me! I’m the son of the Yin Yang Sect’s Sect Leader! If you let me go, I’ll give you unimaginable rewards!"

An intense premonition of death washed over him, and Mo Tianxing hastily begged for his life.

Hearing that Mo Tianxing was the son of a Sect Leader, Jiang Zuo squeezed even harder.

’Damn it, if I let this guy escape, I’ll never have a moment of peace again!’

Mo Tianxing was already at his breaking point. When Jiang Zuo suddenly increased his strength, Mo Tianxing’s body could no longer withstand the immense force.

POP!

Like a balloon, Mo Tianxing’s entire body exploded in Jiang Zuo’s embrace.

However, the instant he exploded, Jiang Zuo moved, putting distance between them so he wouldn’t be covered in blood.

Jiang Zuo actually had a simpler way to kill Mo Tianxing: he could have just had his Blood Qi Avatar, which was hidden nearby, make a move.

After realizing Xu Xiuyun and Mo Tianxing were heading his way, Jiang Zuo had his Blood Qi Avatar dig a hole and hide the storage pouch he had looted from the corpse.

Then he dispelled that Blood Qi Avatar and re-condensed a new one here.

If not for this backup, why would Jiang Zuo have put himself in such danger?

He had originally planned to draw their attention while the Blood Qi Avatar launched a surprise attack to kill them.

But he hadn’t expected Mo Tianxing to be so bold as to turn his back at close range, so Jiang Zuo simply went for the bear hug.

This way, he didn’t need to expose his Blood Qi Avatar and risk Xu Xiuyun seeing it.

Xu Xiuyun was completely stunned by the scene.

She never would have imagined that Mo Tianxing, the man who had pursued her relentlessly and left her helpless, would die at the hands of a mere mortal.

And in such a brutal fashion!

But with Mo Tianxing’s death, Xu Xiuyun felt a sudden, inexplicable, piercing pain surge through her mind.

Her vision went black, and she fainted.

Jiang Zuo paid her no mind and continued swinging the hoe. After dozens more strikes, he finally managed to dig the small tree out completely.

With a flick of his wrist, Jiang Zuo stored the small tree in his Pet Beast Spirit Garden.

Then, Jiang Zuo looked at Xu Xiuyun, who was lying on the ground.

’The son of a Sect Leader died here. It won’t be long before someone comes looking.’

’If I leave Xu Xiuyun here, she’ll almost certainly be killed.’

’Oh, well. Might as well do a good deed for once.’

Jiang Zuo stripped off all of Xu Xiuyun’s clothes and threw them onto Mo Tianxing’s corpse.

Jiang Zuo then summoned Great Black.

Understanding Jiang Zuo’s intention, Great Black spewed a stream of fire at Mo Tianxing’s corpse.

This was a Fire Magic that Great Black had automatically learned after several years of Cultivation.

It wasn’t very useful normally, but for cremating bodies, it was excellent.

After dressing Xu Xiuyun in a set of his own clothes, Jiang Zuo hoisted her over his shoulder and left with great strides.

「More than an hour later.」

An anxious-looking Elder Mo arrived at the peak of Black Mountain.

"Is this... Tianxing’s body?"

Although Mo Tianxing had first been violently crushed to death and then burned to a crisp by Great Black...

...the moment Elder Mo saw the corpse, he still recognized it as Mo Tianxing.
