Chapter 186 - 172: Forcing Her to Reveal Her True Form

"Lord Major General!"

Nannan and Dongdong watched the figure in the distance, crying out uncontrollably.

The Think Tank and the Military Advisor’s Wife looked up at Long Yan, and their brows furrowed in the next instant.

Long Yan looked at the wounds on their bodies, his brow knitting tightly. The veins on his sword-wielding hand bulged as he said in a cold, sharp voice, "Let them go!"

Jiang Wu sneered. "Trade Su Mo for these four."

"In your dreams!" Long Yan’s grip on his sword tightened, his killing intent becoming impossible to conceal.

Jiang Wu’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold arc rising on her lips. With a backhanded strike, she lashed the Think Tank behind her. A sharp CRACK echoed as a bloody welt blossomed on his body!

She looked at Long Yan, the smile on her lips growing ever more eerie and sinister. "Lord Major General, I advise you to calm down. The Think Tank is old; I’m afraid he won’t be able to withstand many of my lashes."

Long Yan’s brows were tightly locked, the knuckles of his sword hand turning white. A flash of pain crossed his eyes.

The Think Tank frowned and looked at him. "Lord Major General, you must still consider the bigger picture! I am old and cannot accompany you for the rest of your life!"

Jiang Wu shot the Think Tank a cold glance. "Think Tank, you are mistaken. If you die before Long Yan like this, won’t you just make him unable to find peace for the rest of his days? The Lord Major General dared to take even a Fiery Fire Pill for you all. How could such a deeply sentimental and righteous person bear to let you die like this?"

"Lord Major General, how could you..." The Military Advisor’s Wife was heartbroken.

A cold glint flashed through Jiang Wu’s eyes. "There isn’t much time left for the Lord Major General. If you truly can’t bear to trade Su Mo, then how about trading yourself?!"

The Think Tank said in a low voice, "The Dragon Clan has more than just me as a Think Tank; the Dragon Clan has thousands upon thousands of people. Lord Major General, you absolutely must not put yourself in danger for our sake! Otherwise, I will never forgive myself in this lifetime!"

Jiang Wu suddenly turned her head and lashed out heavily with her whip again. "Among the thousands in the Dragon Clan, how many people are there like you, Think Tank? You might be willing to die, but is the Lieutenant General willing to let you?!"

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

Two voices suddenly rang out in the air.

Jiang Wu looked up, her gaze clashing with Su Mo’s frost-blade-like stare from the city wall. She gave a contemptuous smirk. "I thought you were too scared to show yourself. What’s this? Have you thought it through and come to trade yourself for these four?"

Su Mo sneered, "With such a warm invitation from City Lord Jiang, how could I not come?! If I didn’t come, how would the City Lord ever know just how high the heavens are?!"

"Su Mo! Stop your boasting! Today, I’ll make sure you learn how formidable I am!"

Su Mo narrowed her eyes, the light within them growing colder. "Since you want my life so badly, then bring your people and come take it yourself! Capturing a few irrelevant people... aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughingstock when word gets out? Or did City Lord Jiang predict you’d be defeated by my hand and didn’t dare face me? You only dare to play these cheap little tricks?"

Jiang Wu slightly lowered her eyes, her venom-laced gaze fixed on Su Mo. "Don’t you try to goad me. Since you’re so eager to serve yourself up on a platter, then watch this!"

As she spoke, a long whip materialized from her fingertips, and her murderous gaze locked onto Su Mo.

"Wife!"

"Miss Su!"

"Host!"

Several voices rang out by Su Mo’s ears at the same time.

Little Nine said in a panic, "The Totem’s power may have been upgraded, but you still need to be careful..."

Su Mo replied to him silently, ’It’s a delay tactic. As long as I tie up Jiang Wu, they’ll have a chance to rescue the others. I have to find Jiang Wu’s weakness today, so this fight is unavoidable.’

Little Nine’s eyes suddenly lit up. "Did you think of something?"

"Mhm!" Su Mo nodded. ’In the process of a Beastman’s cultivation, every breakthrough is a battle against their own weaknesses. If Jiang Wu were truly invincible, how could she be trapped in this endless cycle of reincarnation? She may have the ability of Nirvana Rebirth, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she can escape her fate!’

Su Mo looked up just in time to see Jiang Wu loosing a sharp arrow at her. "In that case, prepare to die!"

Su Mo dodged the arrow, then caught it with her whip in a flick of her wrist. She called out in a deep voice, "Cang Lan, follow me down!"

A black shadow then streaked through the air, and Cang Lan’s true form carried Su Mo as they leaped swiftly from the city wall.

After the Totem’s power was upgraded, Su Mo’s control over her whip became even more masterful!

The tip of the whip swept out, and a swath of Beastmen on the opposite side fell in an instant. The stench of blood in the air immediately grew thicker.

Jiang Wu flew over and used her own whip to entangle the one Su Mo had just cracked again. The two were quickly locked in combat!

Not far away, Ai Ci frowned and commanded, "Keep an eye on those four! The rest of you, follow me! We’ll slaughter them until not a single one is left!"

Amidst the glint of blades and the shadows of swords, roars shook the heavens.

While entangled in battle with Long Yan’s men, Jin Tong didn’t forget to observe Su Mo’s every move.
