Chapter 175 - 165: She Is a Transmigrator

Although Mo Xiao and the others were too busy to get close to Su Mo, they never took their eyes off her.

’Looks like our wife has gotten her hands on something good again?’

Long Yan and the rest of the clan were also stunned. They watched as Su Mo, perched high atop the white tiger, flicked her wrist. The long whip in her hand struck like a silver dragon, and wherever it passed, the enemy ranks crumbled.

Seizing this opportunity, Long Yan and Mo Xiao relentlessly pressed their advantage against Jiang Wu’s forces.

Amid the standoff, Jiang Wu’s bloodthirsty gaze locked onto Su Mo, her eyes fixed on the long whip in Su Mo’s hand.

’For a moment, she couldn’t figure out what the hell that thing was!’

’I can’t let Su Mo continue this rampage. My forces’ morale is collapsing. If this goes on, the situation will turn completely against me!’

A bow and arrow materialized in Jiang Wu’s hands, and she took aim at Su Mo.

SWOOSH—

Xuan Qing sensed the danger just in time, leaping into the air to dodge Jiang Wu’s arrow.

Su Mo flicked her whip, catching the stray arrow and flinging it back toward Jiang Wu. With the arrow wrapped in its tip, the whip struck like an unsheathed silver dragon, piercing through the air with sharp killing intent!

Jiang Wu leaned aside, batting the projectile away with a single palm strike. Then, she leaped into the air, charging straight for Su Mo!

Xuan Qing agilely dodged Jiang Wu’s attack.

With a slight twist of her wrist, Su Mo lashed the tip of her whip across Jiang Wu’s left arm. In an instant, flesh was torn open, revealing the bone beneath.

Jiang Wu stared at the wound on her arm in disbelief. ’Dammit, how did Su Mo actually manage to wound me?!’

"Ah Wu!" Ai Ci flew to her side, his gaze fixed nervously on her wounded arm.

"It’s nothing!" Jiang Wu shot Su Mo an icy glare. "Everyone, attack! I want her dead!"

"Yes!" Ai Ci’s hatred burned even hotter as he glared at Su Mo.

He raised his hand, and the surrounding Beastmen swarmed forward.

He said in a cold voice, "Seize the long whip from her hand! Destroy it!"

Jiang Wu was now singularly focused on her fight with Su Mo.

’She refused to believe that Su Mo, a good-for-nothing with no Inner Strength, could truly be a match for her, a Level Ten Beastman!’

’Did she think all my years of suffering were for nothing?!’

The bow in Jiang Wu’s hands transformed into a long whip. She cracked it violently, and it tangled with Su Mo’s in mid-air! The two whips writhed like entwined pythons, grinding against each other with a piercing shriek as sparks flew.

Xuan Qing would handle the Beastmen who were closing in.

A heaven-shaking tiger’s roar erupted as he swept out with his sharp claws, shattering the bones of any Beastman who drew near.

Jiang Wu had come determined to kill Su Mo, and her every move was vicious and deadly.

The power from Su Mo’s Totem was draining too quickly, and she gradually found her strength failing.

A dull ache pulsed in her chest.

Little Nine’s panicked voice rang out, "Host, retreat! Her Inner Strength is too formidable! Continuing to drain your energy like this won’t do you any good! You need to rest and find another chance to fight her!"

Su Mo frowned and replied silently, ’Are you kidding me? You want me to retreat now? I can’t... Just hurry up and upgrade my Totem!’

Jiang Wu was pressing her at every step, giving her no opening at all.

Little Nine said, "I’ve tried, but it’s no good~ Just go! A wise person knows when to retreat! This female lead... she’s... she’s got a few tricks up her sleeve..."

Su Mo was speechless.

She frowned, pulling a stamina-enhancing Elixir from her pouch and swallowing it. The dark pattern on her wrist began to heat up.

It seemed to be working.

But it wouldn’t last long.

’This bit of power won’t last long. I have to find a way to retreat!’

Xuan Qing’s brow furrowed. ’I have to find a way to get Su Mo out of here, and fast.’

Not far away, Mo Xiao and the others, who were drawing closer, also had their brows tightly furrowed.

Mo Xiao and Fei Yan exchanged a look, and having reached a silent agreement, Mo Xiao immediately flew forward, carving a path through the enemy to get behind Xuan Qing and Su Mo.

"Wife!"

Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the call from behind her.

’Thank goodness, it’s Mo Xiao!’

’I’ll hit Jiang Wu with a wave of poison needles and use that chance to retreat!’

Su Mo’s brow furrowed, and catching her opponent off guard, she launched several poison needles!

Jiang Wu was struck by a poison needle. In the instant she was dazed, Xuan Qing swept his tiger tail out and prepared to leap into the sky with Su Mo.

The next second, Jiang Wu lashed out with her whip, sending it hurtling toward them.

In that critical instant, Xuan Qing spun around, intercepting the whip that was meant for Su Mo.

He then quickly tossed the person on his back toward Mo Xiao nearby.

Mo Xiao’s snake tail swept through the enemy ranks with lightning speed before precisely coiling around Su Mo as she fell.

Xuan Qing instantly reverted to his human form. A sharp sword materialized in his hand as he spun around and charged straight for Jiang Wu, his silver hair flying and a chilling killing aura radiating from him.

That last whip strike from Jiang Wu had been incredibly powerful, leaving a deep, bloody gash on his back that was starkly visible against his white clothes.

Mo Xiao carried Su Mo and quickly retreated to the top of the city wall.

The effects of the Elixir she had taken earlier had worn off, and Su Mo’s head felt groggy.

Mustering her remaining strength, she called out to Little Nine, "Quick, think of something! I... I can’t fall asleep right now!"

Little Nine said frantically, "But your stamina is gone, and you forced a power-up on top of that! This is a backlash from the Totem! I... I... I don’t have a way to..."

Before it could finish speaking, Su Mo fell completely unconscious in Mo Xiao’s arms.

"Host!"

"Wife!"

Mo Xiao frowned at the woman in his arms, then leaped down from the city wall, carrying her, to find the Dragon Clan’s Witch Doctor.

After examining her, the Witch Doctor frowned and said, "This is from complete exhaustion. She should recover after taking some medicine and getting some sleep."

Mo Xiao frowned and asked, "How long will she be asleep?"

The Witch Doctor shook his head. "That, I can’t say for sure."

As Mo Xiao’s brow furrowed, he thought he heard a voice say, "Oh, quick, get Xuan Qing back here! His blood can help the Host suppress the Totem’s backlash and recover her stamina."

Mo Xiao’s brows knitted together tightly. He wondered if he was just hearing things.

But he quickly realized—was that the voice of the Little Nine inside his wife’s mind?!

He tried to call out with his thoughts, ’Little Nine?’

There was no response.

’It seems Little Nine can’t talk to me directly. But then why can I hear its voice?!’

Mo Xiao pondered for a moment, then prepared to cut his finger to put it in Su Mo’s mouth.

’I’m a Level Eight Beastman, only one Level below Xuan Qing. If his blood works, why shouldn’t mine?’

Little Nine’s voice piped up again in surprise, "Well, well~ It’s not that it wouldn’t work, but the higher the Level, the better the effect~ Jiang Wu’s blood would be best, but you can’t exactly get your hands on that..."

Before Mo Xiao could cut his finger, Xuan Qing returned with Xuan Shuang.

After checking her pulse, Xuan Shuang let out a sigh of relief. "It’s a coma induced by rapid stamina depletion. She should be fine once she wakes up. However..."

She looked at Xuan Qing. "Your blood should be able to help her recover faster."

Xuan Qing glanced at Mo Xiao before walking over to the woman on the bed.

A moment later, Mo Xiao heard Little Nine sigh with relief and mutter to itself, "Let her rest. A good sleep should be enough for her to recover."

「That night.」

Jin Tong was resting in Jiang Wu’s tent.

Strangely, ever since Su Mo had disappeared from the battlefield, his own stamina seemed to be draining much faster, and he was now feeling drowsy.

’Could it be that woman has fallen into a deep sleep?’

At this thought, a glint flashed in Jin Tong’s eyes. ’So she’s not invincible after all. She couldn’t hold out after fighting for just that long?’

Jin Tong took an Awakening Pill to force himself to stay alert. The next moment, his arm brushed against something, and a small black notebook fell to the ground.

He picked it up and casually flipped it open. Upon seeing what was written inside, he couldn’t help but frown deeply.

’So... Su Mo is a transmigrator?’

Just as he was about to read more closely, Jiang Wu walked in, her face dark.

He quickly put the book away and ducked into the shadows.

The wound on Jiang Wu’s left arm had yet to be treated. After a full day of non-stop fighting, blood was now gushing from it.

She took out a small knife and, with swift and ruthless precision, cut away the dead flesh. Then, she sprinkled medicinal powder over the wound and used her Inner Strength to force it to heal.

After treating her wound, she barked in a low voice, "Come out! What are you doing, skulking around?!"

Just as she was about to use her Inner Strength to force the hidden person out, Jin Tong appeared in a flash, standing calmly before her.

He said provocatively, "That was quite a nasty whip wound you took, City Lord. It seems you might not be Su Mo’s match. I’d advise you to give up now and save yourself from a humiliating defeat. It wouldn’t be worth losing your life over it."

CRASH! Jiang Wu grabbed the nearest object and hurled it at Jin Tong. "Bullshit! I am the chosen one, the daughter of destiny! How could I possibly lose to a weakling like Su Mo!"

Jin Tong dodged the object but continued to taunt her. "Stop deluding yourself. What are the chances you’ll make it out of this battle unscathed? Her power seems to far exceed our expectations. Besides, her Beast Husbands have been leveling up incredibly fast. They are completely devoted to her, and I fear they will only become more invincible. With your forces demoralized, can you really pull this off?"

Jiang Wu glared at him, looking like she wanted to tear him to shreds.

But then she laughed. "Stop wasting your energy on pointless worries. Whether it’s her or her Beast Husbands, they are all destined to fall into my grasp! Completely devoted, you say?"

"All the better! That just means I only need to kill Su Mo, and the rest will be dealt with effortlessly!"

Jin Tong frowned. "What do you mean?"

’Could Su Mo have fed them the same thing she fed me?’

’But looking at how utterly devoted they are, it doesn’t seem like they’re being controlled by such means.’

"You don’t need to understand. You only need to know that this world will ultimately be mine!"

Watching Jiang Wu’s arrogant, confident display, Jin Tong couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the book hidden in his sleeve.
